The climate of the Cumberland
Plateau is genial and healthful.
Incipient diseases of the lungs are
cured by a residence in the atmos-
phere of the Cumberland; likewise
catarrhal difficulties of years stand
ing are benefited, and most cases
cured. Absolute freedom from that
bane of many localities, malaria, is
enjoyed by the dweller on the Pla-
teau.
While the soil of these Southern
highlands is not so rich and deep as
that of the valleys, it is abundantly
supplied with the best of water, and
to skillful farming yields liberal re-
turns of fruits, grain, roots, ETC., ,and
is admirably adapted to stock and
dairy farming.

A Washington correspondent of
the Nashville american thus mentions
each of the Congressman from the
three Eastern districts of Tennessee:
Mr.. Pettibone, of the First district
of Tennessee, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, is a scholarly man, and a
man of acknowledged ability.
Mr.. Houk, of the Second district,
is a man of decided ability, a work
ing man, and one who looks out for
his friends. There is, perhaps, no
man in Congress who exercises more
influence with the administration
than Mr.. Houk. He is a hard
worker, a good speaker and repre-
sentative Tennessee man.
Gen. Dibrell is a man well known
to all Confederate soldiers from Ten
nessee. He is placed on the Military
Committee, which is quite compll-
ment. A prominent officer of the
United States Army, and one who
is regarded as authority on all mill
tary matters, told your correspondent
that Gen. Dibrell had better knowl-
edge of the Army of the United
States and its wants and changes
than any man in Congress.

1t was a melancholy and disgrace
full scene that occurred in q court of
justice at Nashville, last Thursday,
when, according to the Chattanooga
Times, in the course of a discussion,
Judge Allen, of the Criminal Court,
so far forgot his own and the Courts
dignity, as to give the direct lie to
John G. Ferriss, the County Judge.
The latter. however, maintaining his
position, was again assailed by Allen.
Immediately the two men closed in
q sharp struggle, holding each other
by the throat. In the tussle both
judges we're seento draw their knives
and had not the two combatants
been very forcibly separated and
held, a tragedy would doubtless have
occurred.
