What is needed in Tennessee more
than anything else, to guarantee her
is skilled farm labor.
The eastern portion of Tennessee is
richly endowed with minerals, and a
good agricultural country as well.
With the natural resources at our
command, judiciously worked up by
competent farmers, artisans, and me-
chanics, Tennessee could soon be made
the most desirable State in the Union.
Of indigenous vegetable products,
Tennessee has an endless variety. The
mountains and valleys are clothed with
succulent grasses, and her mineral
wealth is unsurpassed. There are
thousands Of square miles Of coal
measures, and rich deposits of iron ore
are found in all sections of the State.
In the first place Tennessee has a
good soil. TO say there are no poor
lands in the State would be an untrue
statement. What we would say is,
the general character of the soil is
good. Some Of it is of SURPRISING fer
tility. a
Tennessee is removed from the ma
larial diseases of the extreme South
and the bitter cold of the ex
treme North. In climate, in health
and in beauty of scenery, Tennessee
cannot be surpassed. Every variety O
agricultural production except the
sugar-cane, and all fruits, except the
tropical, can be grown to perfection il
Tennessee.
Tennessee possesses advantagesinfer
to very few OF the States of the Amer
lean Union. The recent reports of tht
United States Census enable us tt
ascertain her growth within the last
ten years, and to compare her with TIT
adjoining States. From these it viii
be found that she is superior in pro
ductions to any of what are called tht
Southern States, except Missouri, anc
not much, if any, inferior to her.

antee the yield of fruit and grain will

eastern farms.
The lands out west, on the ocean
prairies, or along river bottoms, doubt
lessly are naturally richer and quicker
in their first yields, but there are many
drawbacks in those sun-setting States
that we are unacquainted with in this
section. The eastern part of Tennes-
see, too, is in keystone position as
regards the very best markets, and the
best opportunities for putting our pro-
duce upon them. And. mo mean con-

ial germs arising to poison life, and

of those frightful storms, and atmos-
pheric disturbances, prairie fires, To-
Gusts, burning, scorching days in
summer, and icy blizzards and SHOWS
in winter, droughts, treeless plains,

what not, so frequently encountered

Well, it may be asked, what can be
grown upon your soil2 We answer,
nearly any thing YOU may wish to pro-
duce, if you will apply energy, perse-
verance, intelligence, patience, and
manure. Four qualifications named
above we need not dilate upon, but
"manure " demands a word. The soil
of this part of Morgan County, and on
the plateau in Fentress county, is a
sandy loan, with clay subsoil, and,
as it is, mlmanured, and unassisted
will yield fair crops af large variety
of fruits, and vegetables, and farm
produce, but when properly titled, and
some manure applied, in fact the prin
ciples Of intelligent farming adopted
will give rich returns, and make a sol
not to be excellcd anywhere. 1t is moi
so much the soil, in any part of th'
world, that is at fault, when grumblIns
is heard, as is the Incidence and inca
pacity Of those who call their pursuit

The United States is the fair object of
our affections. 1t may be said of her
"All the loves were present at her making"
A virgin continent was prepared for
the dwelling place, in a manner Sc
mysterious as still to battle the knowl-
edge of man.
The earliest recorded voyages of
white men, found America rich in soil,
in mines under the soil, forests over the
soil, and rivers through the soil and
with only a sufficient population to
keep down the disastrous multiplication
of wild beasts; population as dark as
their own origin, heterogeneous to every
other race, and without virtues enough
for their own perpetuation.
Here congregated those who had been
tried and refined in the furnace Of
struggle and tyranny in the various
nations Of Europe, bringing with them
an unalterable love of, and determine
tion to enjoy Liberty, and acquiring a
sense of independence as immovable as
the Continent.
These people found themselves alike
in situation, in motive, in destiny.
And what is it makes nation but
similarity of situation, motives and
destiny! So that, without originally
understanding it, the English, the
Dutch and the French found themselves
no longer enemies but brothers. This
was Natures guarantee that she had
made a new nation These great facts
we're not comprehended and acknowl
edged at first by the parties of whom
they were true, and various convulsions
were necessary before the animated
mass could settle down into the con
viction and consistency of nationality
But the nation existed, just as tn,
sculptor's perfect statue exists in The
marble quarry before his chisel hal
struck it a blow.r-From address b.
