l take the opportunity to bear testi-
mony to the efficacy of your "Hop Bit
ters." Expecting to find them nauseous
and bitter, and composed of bad whisky,
We were agreeably surprised at their
mild taste, just like cup Of tea. A Mrs.
Cresswell and a Mrs. Conner, friends,
have likewise tried and pronounced them
the best medicine they have ever taken
for building up strength and toning up
the system. 1 was troubled with costive.
ness, headache, and want Of appetite.
The two former ailments are gone, and
the latter greatly improved. 1 have a

Letter from Garter County.

ELIzABETHToN, Jan. %. 1880.
Mr. EDITOR More than a week
ago 1 left Knoxville and came to this
quiet little town, located on the south
ern bank of the Watauga, whose rest
less waters, clear as crystal, with sill
very brightness beneath the suns hine,
winds It's onward course amid these
mountains Of inspiring grandeur.
Doe River flows downward from the
deep mountain passes on the south
east, separates at the eastern limits OF
the town, flows by on either side and
loses itself In the Watauga on the
northwest. It's succeeding, dashing,
splashing, roaring falls furnish music
that echoes and reverberates, with
enchanting sounds, through every
ravine and hollow gorge. A million
aud a million more of bubbles dance
with pearly brightness on the surface
of its beauty, and along its course can
be found some of the finest water
powers In the United States.
In sight OF the beholder, ami on
almost on every side the towering
mountains, in picturesque grandeur,
lift their lofty peaks that seem to tip
the sky, and as the eye
stretches far back towards North
Carolina, the submits of the blue
ranges appear to kiss the overhanging
heavens above. On their huge sides
the dense clouds gather of their own
accord to rest, ere they are borne away
on the pinions of the wind. If East
Tennessee ia the Switzerland of the
South, then this must be the Switzer,
land of East Tennessee.
No wonder this upper country pro-
duced or gave the public such men as
N. G. Taylor, Il. A. r. Nelson, An-
drew job nson and Landon Q. Haynes,
on whose inspired eloquence thou
sands have hung in admiring de.
light.
This surrounding country needs Its
resources more fully developed. Here
are inexhaustible mountains of iron
ore, second to noue in these United
States of North America. Eight
miles from here, on Stony Greek,
the Knoxville Gar Wheel Com
pany are running u fur
mace, foundry and one forge, at
which they manufacture a superior
quality of refined iron. Five other
forges are located on the same creek,
but are run on small scale.
Capital is what ia needed. But
after all, this is a very prosperous
place. Watauga and Doe River
wooden mills are situated within
y few rods OF each other, and both
do lively business. The walnut
lumber trade Is bringing considerable
money into Carter county at this time.
The logs are hewed square, hauled on
wagons to Johnson City, bought by an
agent and shipped to Philadelphia,
Pa. Some are hauled as far as forty
miles, and bring from twenty to
thirty-five dollars each. EliZabeth~
ton has four ger eral merchandise
stores, one drug store, four churches,
one common and one graded school,
and lively newspaper--the Noun
taineer. The town is free from whisky
shops.
John Rutledge, an alleged partici-
pant in the murder of Nelson Bowers,
was released from Jail yesterday under
a bond Of $2500 for his appearance at
court. With the exception of this
murder case, which caused some dis
content, the people are peaceful, pros
porous and happy. Very respectfully,

A Few Facts ths new Directory WI
Reveal


Reveal
Sholes' Seventh Annual Memphis
Directory Is In press, and will be issued
Tuesday next. The publisher has been
at unusual pains 10 not only obtain a
correct list of names occupations, etc,
but also to secure something like accu.
rate figures bearing on our present
population. 1t Is gratifying to observe
from some advance proofs furnished
the AVdlanche that instead of proving
discouraging, the data obtained in
canvassing for the Directory are cacu.
lated to strengthen confidence in the
vitality and progress of the city. The
fact that despite the calamity of 1879,
which sent so large proportion OF
trade elsewhere, our cotton receipts
are greatly in excess OF those of The
past season, and that the city is to be
provided at once with sewers, ia men,
toned, and all this is followed by sta
tistics of population, which, under the
circumstances, make a very handsome
showing, The publisher says in. this
connection:
The Directory OF 1879 contained
1881 names; IL ,3o6 white, 45S5 col.
ored; this volume contains l4,8l9,
divided AS follows: 10 lS6 white, 4,633
colored.
"As usual, careful census of the
population has been taken in counec-
tion with the canvass, from which we
find the present population to be
40 1927, rs against 43, ,497 last year. The
whites numbered then, q, 535; c1lored,
Is 962; the division now is, 25,l4i
whites; 157 1888 colored.
"In the compilation OF this volume,
6 ,455 names were omitted which held
place In the previous volume, while
5 ,403 new names have been added.
Mr. Sholes is satisfied the above
figures approximate eorrectn ess, and
they prove that, notwithstanding two
successive epidemics, and the loud and
long cry that Memphis lie dead, the
decrease IN the population of the city
has been almost too small to be
noticed. -AUdLanche

A Short Cut to Knoxville.

[From the Anderson IS. C.) Journal.l
Our Charleston contemporary, in
casting about for a feasible route
through Knoxville, recognizes the
advantages offered by the Blue
Ridge line, but entirely overlooks
the connecting road from this point
to Aiken, which is sure to be built
at an early day. The Savannah
Valley Railroad Company is duly
chartered and organized, and suf-
fcient amount of capital stock has
been subscribed to grade the route
between Anderson and Dorn's Mine,
where a connection is proposed
with the Augusta, Knoxville and
Greenwood Railroad, and it is pro-
posed to push the line on to Aiken
as early as practicable, which would
shorten the line from Anderson to
Charleston some so miles from the
present distance Of 257 miles. This
road can be built and the Blue
Ridge road completed, thus making
through line from the West to
the sea, more direct than any other,
for less money than some Of the con-
nections by other routes can be pur>
chased or connecting links in other
directions can be constructed,
and the organization of a
few combinations win bring
the capitalists and the great cities
in the West to see it in its true light
when endeavoring to free themselves
from the iron fetters with which rival
interests will have bound them in
one way or another. This is un-
doubtedly the natural line from the
West to the South Atlantic, and
Furthermore it is going to be built
beyond peradventure. The pros
ductions Of the great West are in
creasing in volume and gathering

THE following IL Gen. Sherman's
published opinion of Gen. Boynton,
which has created so much excitement
In the newspaper world:
"Boynton's garbling OF the Confed
crate records was most palpable and
shameless. But what could you ex
pect from the man? Every body knows
him to be q notorious slanderer. You
could hire him to do anything for
money A man II character
and Christian, bah d! He Is entirely
without character. Why, for $1,000
he would slander his own mother"
The Gene'al will have hard time
substantiating these charges. There
is no journalist in the United States
who stands higher, and 1t Is the gen
eral impression that Sherman has alN
lowed his remembrance of an old per-
sonal feud to blind him to justice.

The Danger of Searching for Georgia
M0Onshiners.

Special Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Collector
Clark, of the North Georgia Dis
trict, reports to Commissioner Raum
the result of a raid on illicit dis
tillers in several Of the upper coun-
ties of that State. He had fifty
men, well armed with carbines of
long range, furnished by the Sec.
retary of War. After the raid
the officers and this force were
followed all day and fred on from
the hills and mountain sides along
their route. The carbines, however,
kept the attacking parties at such a
long distance that their shots were
harmless. At night, the force were
besieged in an clubhouse, where they
had taken shelter, and fred on all
night and finally were compelled to
leave the building. The large ma
.jority of the people were found to be
in sympathy with the law breakers,
and constantly interposed obstacles
to the success of the officers. Even
those ofthe respectable classes, who
favored the execution of the laws,
were compelled, through fear of the
destruction of their property, to re-
frain from rendering the revenue
officers the least assistance.
