1t may not be generally known,
but is nevertheless true, that, accor
ding to the census report of 1870,
Tennessee produced more corn and
wheat to the acre than any Of the
southern states except Missouri; that
she excelled Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida, North and South Carolina and
Texas, in the production of cotton
per acre, was behind Arkansas and
Louisiana, and equal to Mississippi;
in coal, iron and water power, and
climate, she was superior to any Of
them. All this being true, it seems
foolish for our people to be emigra.
ting to the new states of the west.
There are hundreds-yes, thousands
Of people now in those states who
would be glad to return and occupy
their old homes here. And they
would be better and more industrious
citizens, too, if they could return.
The truth is, we don't appreciate our
blessings here until we leave them.
Let our people consider well before
they emigrate.

regret his retirement, but hope to see
him again in the harness in the future.

since the democratic party is divided

glomerated salivatery gland under the
ear. The presidents surgeons do not
give any decided opinions as to this
aspect Of the case, but intimate that it
is not necessarily serious. DR.. Lincoln
and other surgeons who have no con-
nection with the case say this infiam-
nation indicates pyamic condition of
the presidents blood-not pyamic in
its literal sense, but bad condition of
the blood consequent upon excessive
weakness and general debility These
outside doctors say Inflammation Gre
ated in the gland is very painful and
often produces high fever. It is plain
the presidents stomach is in decidedly
better shape. Its tone has returned,
and the doctors say they can now grad
ually increase the nourishment. The
wound is doing well, the surgeons say,
and healing rapidly. One of the presi-
dents surgeons, when pressed for an
answer as to what he thought Of this
new complication, replied: "The presi-
dent has probably caught little cold
and it manifested itself in a swelling
throat" One phase of the case that is
as favorable is the imprope-
ment in the stomach. If proper nour-
ishment can be taken by the. president
it is believed he can yet be pulled
through despite these complications
that arise. This Inflammation, how
ever, has produced a feeling of depres-
sion that is observable everywhere.
