d "REMINISCENCES OF JACKSON
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
Gen. Jackson was at ROgersville
Tenn, attending a term of court. The
principal hotel in the place was kept by
q most estimable lady, widow. One
evening a young man travelling from
New York City arrived. He was one of
those who, in our time, would have par
ted his hair in the middle He demand
ed a room for himself with no other &C.
cupant. The lady told him it was an
imPossibility, that she could give him
bed in room with some other gentle
man, but she could not give him, posi-
bly,, room to himself. 1t being court
week her house was crowded. He still
insisted, when Gen. Jackson, being in
the room, remarked that he should have
his wish.
There was an empty corn-crib on the
place made of very large legs, with only
two openings-one near the top to throw
in the corn, and the other the door to
enter the crib by. The General follow
ed the lady out of the room, and being
I'LL 6C4 VI LuC lduuIdNH, bOlO
her to have the upper door nailed fast,
to have the crib swept out clean, and
have a table, basin and water, a towel
and a chair, and bed made down in the
back end. There was lock and key on
the outside. Nothing more was said on
the subject of the bedroom until after
supper. After sitting around the big
log fire after supper for some time the
exquisit declared he wished to retire.
The General took up a candle, told
him to follow and he would show him
his room. He led the way to the crib
and showed the way in. The young
man saw at once his predicament He
turned around and said he would not
sleep there. Old Hickory said, you
asked for room to yourself, and by the
eternal, you shall have it. Walk in, or
I'll put you in." The exquisite walked
in. He saw it was no use to resist. The
General left his candle, stepped out,
locked the door on the outside aud left
him TO take the best repose he could in
the room by himself. These are facts.
1t is presumed he never forgot Jackson,
nor put on any extra airs, while he was
or that trip, any way.

KINGS NOUNTALN-T SHOULD
BE CELEBRATED.
TO the People of East Tennessee:

1 ~ 6eS 4 OOk'bO " A4N~cS 4 CSss6CcCOCa
On the 25th of September, 1850, &
patriot army, under Coils. Sewer, Shelby
aud Campbell, rendezvoused on the
banks of the Watauga, and from thence
took up its march to Kings mountain,
where, on the 7th of October, it won
the most remarkable victory of the revO-
lutiOnary war This is the centennial
year of that great event in our history.
The victory of Kings mountain was
| largely due to East Tennessee valor, and
| in its conception entirely so.
| Why, then, should we not have GEN.
! tennial celebration of this famous rem
devious, and of the great victory, on
the 25th Of September, on the very
ground where our ancestors assembled
True, there is to be a celebration of the
battle itself, on Kings Mountain, in
South Carolina, on the 9TH of October,
but that Is too far off for the attendance
of the great body of our people. Let us
then assemble, on the 25th of September,
and have a glorious celebration, in our
own state, of the heroic deeds of our an
cestors. Let the citizens of Elizabeth
ton take immediate steps looking to this
end or let ElizaDethtOn, JOnesbOrough,
Johnson City and Bristol unite in con-
ventiOn, or otherwise, and make all the
necessary arrangements for the celebra
ten.
In the meantime we will thank all per-
sons possessing papers or documents, or
unpublished facts in reference to that
battle, to forward them to us to be used
in preparing for the celebration.
We ask the papers of East Tennessee |
to publish this communication.
We also suggest that the people OF
East Tennessee, in some appropriate
form, should be allowed to take part in
the celebration of Kings mountain. |
This is due to them for the conspicuous |
part they took in that battle.

VIZ see no good reason why the
United States Government might
not appropriate two or three hun
dred thousand dollars to improve
the navigation of the upper aoIston.
Large sums have been expended in
rivers Of much less magnitude.
The region of country penetrated by
that stream Is large and widespread
unsurpassed in productive capaci.
ty. and only needs a sure aud safe
outlet to make il not only very rich
in Itself. but 3 source of immense
profit TO the commercial world.
When the river is shallow AID the
water clear, it would be easy work to
remove the lodges Of rock which OBJ
struct navigation, aud then q splen-
did artery Of commerce would be es-
tablished through which would pour
many thousands Of dollars worth of
grain and other produce into the
markets Of the country.

MORRLSTOWN.
BRIGHT FUTURE a WAITING HER.

Knoxville Dispatch.
: We made hurried trip to MorristOwr
on Saturday last, one of the most pleas
ant towns on the East Tenn, Va. and
Georgia railroad. Her people are intel
ligent hospitable and enterprising. The
country adjacent is filed up with sturdy,
prosperous farmers. The lands are pro.
ductiye and a much better class of farm
ers are found there than are usually
found in East Tennessee. The business
men Of Morristown comprise the very
best class of men. They stand high and
are strictly reliable.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The most noted improvement to which
our attention was called was the con-
struction Of an additional building to the
Cain House, kept and owned by that
clever gentleman, T. G. Cain, enc of the
finest landlords in this section The
new addition Will be just the size of the
main building and will be put at the
western end of it. We found Mr.. Cain
busy removing the dirt for the founda.
ton, running several teams and employ
ing number of hands in excavating.
He expects to have it up in a short time
and will be prepared to entertain the
hundreds of visitors to the various water
ing places, who will diverge from this
point to reach them.
MoRRIsTOwN's FUTURE.
We must believe that Morristown has
a bright future awaiting her. Every
thing looks in this direction We made
the acquaintance OF Mr.. Gregg, an enter
prising gentleman from New York, and
connected with large manufacturing
concern of that State, and no informed
us that, after inspecting various Iocali- !
ties with an eye to business, lie made up
his mind TO establish himself at Morris |
town. He pointed out, graphically, her |
favorable location, and alluded to the |
fact that she would soon have another |
railroad coming from Cumberland Gap, /
and that it would not be long till the
road to AsheYillc would be completed
We found him quite gentleman, intel
ligent, and a sagacious business man.
We were prepared to endorse all he said
about his adopted town, for we had said
IS much before through the columns of
he Dispatch. When these connections
ire made, what is to prevent her from
commercial point of signif-
,ance?

JOHN H. SPEARS, c. c. Spears and
John w. Brown made an entry last
week in the Eotry Takers office of
Hawkins county Of the Public Square
in Rogersyille. These gentlemen
claim that this ground was original
ly granted by the State of North
Carolina to Joseph Rogers, was con-
Vsyed by him to the corporation of
ROgeFsEille. and when the town sur
rendered its charter to the State of
Tennessee the Public Square revert
ed 10 the State and became public
domain. and is now subject to entry
under the laws. There may be q
lively law suit hitchsd up in this
matter. A dead corporation cannot
own land or any other kind Of prop
erty. 1.-THE Square does not belong
to the State It belongs now to tae
heirs Of Joseph Rogers deceased.
So the boys say.

Superintendent of Education, presided.
The Committee on Resolutions reported the fol-

WHEREAS We recognize the imperative necessity
for better instruction in large number of our
public schools, and believing that our educational
progress is impeded by unprOfessiOnal teachers as
well by the apathy of our people in regard to
text books and school apparatus. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That public school interest de-
mands thoroughly trained and systematic teachers;
and we recommend and urge our school officers of
the I'd Congressional district, to encourage Normal
training of teachers in Normal Institutes or other
wise, and that School Directors demand such train
ing a requisite qualification of teachers.
Resolved, That uniformity in text books is very
desirable, and that we recommend to the school
officers of this Congressional district, the impor-
lance of bringing about such uniformity as speed
lily as possible; and that heartily endorse the
series of school books adopted by the county OF
Knox, for six years, for which John W Paulett, of
Knoxville, is agent and advise that directors and
teachers examine into the merits of said books be-
fore adopting books for the schools.
