OLIVER SPRINGS.
Its Waters and Curiosities.

Mr.. EDITOR: If East Tennessee had no
other advantages, its watering places alone
would be sufficient to give it prominence
in the whole country. There is one re-
sort so | tile known, but deserving of more
than passing notice, that l trust you will
give your readers the benefit of this brief
description of Oliver Springs. Oliver
Springs are situated on the foot of Cum
berland mountains. or more properly
speaking, Walden's ridge, at place
known as Winters gap. They are located
in Anderson county, but within pistol shot
of Roane and Morgan counties. A very
pretty village has been built, and there are
two stores doing a thriving business; in
closs proximity are the celebrated Oliver
and Ross coal banks, containing the finest
| coal for CRATE and manufacturing purposes,
and only waiting for railroad facilities to
| take first rank in claiming favor at the
! hands of consumers.
Still nearer is the famous salt we'll, and
within a short distance and located upon
the lands of our townsnan, Geo. W. Ross,
is one Of natures curiosities, a gas spring.
| Bubblipg up through the limpid waters of
| q small mountain stream, a steady flow of
gas escapes into the air. An ordinary lard
can. to which is attached gas burner, is
ready to hand, and when tilted over the
spring one needs but apply a burning
match and natures own gas works are
lighted, burning with a steady, bright
light. Ali around the place one has but to
punch hole in the ground with a walking
| stick and as many meterless gas jets are
ready for the match. The writer has never
heard of any disputed meter accounts in
that region of the country, and investiga-
ting gas committees would be there consld'
cred curiosity as great as the wonderful
gas spring itself
/ Another one of the wonders of that fa
nous resort is the blue spring-a spring
!, without bottom. at least so far as could
be ascertained by the simple contrivance
used by the natives there. 1t covers con'
> siderable space, and looking into its blue
. waters, one can see the tops of large fores
trees. apparently within reach, but really
some forty feet from the surface.
The scenery is grand; gentle when sean

Grounds for Expecting to Carry

WASHINGTON, June 20,-Secre-
tary Thompson, of the navy de-
partment, is very confident that the
republicans will carry Indiana. He
bases his opinion upon the reasons
generally advanced by John q. n ew,
Of that state, that the democratic
party is unpopular, and that the
democrats have greatly increased
their difficulties by the forced, arbi-
trary and unlawful act of the state
supreme court in overriding the will
Of the people, and providing for an
October election.
Attorney General Devens, since
his return to Washington, too, has
expressed himself as very hopeful
of the result, and reports an exr
ceeding good feeling among the re.
publicans whom he met on his
recent northern trip. $3.50

LONDON, July IA Paris dis

divided into two.camps, separated by
an unfathomable abyss. Those only
who have livo i in the provinces can
form an idea of the effect of these
oppressive measures. The govern
ment ought not to proceed
further in this direction.
The country must not come to look
upon the republic as synonymous
with persecution, because, at pres
ent, the republic has no opposition
to fear. 1t ought to be tolerant, for
it can be so without danger. The
government, supported by the ma
tion and victorious over all adver>
saries, commits the greatest blunder
by violating personal liberty under
the pretext of protecting itself
when in no danger.

case. The government will cons
tend that the ordinary tribunals
have no jurisdiction in such
disputes between. individuals and the
state, and that the council of state
can alone determine the validity of
expulsion. The government, hoW~
ever, is in manifest difficulty with
other unrecognized orders, as it
never calculated on their refusing
to apply for recognition,
and now that they have firmly re-
solved on linking their fate with the
Jesuits, the government must either
shut its eyes to a violation of the
DEGREES, or report on a much larger
scale Wednesdays proceedings.

the point of order that Mr..
Gladstone's motion allowing the
newly elected members of par~
lament to qualify either
by oath or affirmation, as they may
prefer, was out of order, inasmuch
as it referred to a question already
decided this session. He maintained
that Sir Stafford Northcote had en-

intended to preserve the dignity OF

not aware that duly elected mem
ber could be questioned as to his
