The immigration Movement in Tennessee.

The Immigration Movement in Tennessee.
AS our people are looking for an
excursion of Western farmers here on
the Goth inst. We publish the fol-
lowing extract from assistant Com
missioner Gates report on the result
of the October excursion in West
Tennessee, to give some idea of what
may be hoped for or expected here,
and would urge our farmers to make
the most of this opportunity. Mr..
Gates remarks:
Not one of the Northern visitors making
the tour of West Tennessee, but will go
home forever Invested of the prejudice
foe of the 'bloody shirt" in politics,
In addition to the favorable advertising
by the lips and the letters of the seventy
and odd visitors who landed in Jackson on
Oct. 81; in addition to the pleasing stories
appearing in many northery newspapers
from the pens of experienced ana popular
correspondents; in addition 10 these valu-
able features of the recent tour of West
Tennessee, may add Others more direct
and more valuable, If possible. Nearly
every member of this excursion party ex-
pressed to your assistant the determination
10 settle in Tennessee or invest money
here several picked out thesr localities and
even lands, and fastened home to arrange
for coming down this month and purchas-
ing. Several have already invested.
4 Mr. Hammond, of Joe Davis county,
ILL.,, has purchased a I,000-acre farm near
this city. A Mr. Station has bargained for
a 400 acre farm in this county, and is home
arranging to meet the agreement. Several
other gentlemen are still in the county
prospecting, and probably will invest. Capt.
Merry writes me that a Mr.. Smith, of the
recent excursion, has just chartered n car to
remove his household goods to Somerville,
where he has pun chased A a couple OF
gentlemen from Michigan remained i'll
Henry county, and, learn, have bargained
for or bought homes. Mr.. John Palmer, of
Warren, Ill.,, left Union City to arrange to
come back this month with his son-in-law
and purchase farm in Obion. Mr.. Holton,
ton, ILL.,, also expressed q determination to
invest in Obion. Mr.. Campbell, of WiScOn-
sin, says he will buy near CoVington or
Jackson. Mr.. Dennowitz, of Illinois, speaks
confidently of settling near Jackson. Mr..
CoiSe and Mr.. Cults, of Illinois, were equal
ly as desrous of settling in Gibson, and
several spoke favorably of Carroll and
Weakley counties. The Messrs. Hamilton,
of Illinois, are going over the ground COW
cred by the tour for more thorough tnvesii-
CATION. Mr.. Wilcox, of Illinois, will return
here to make the November tour of Middle
Tennessee and will invest in the State.
Tle same my be said as to Mr.. Cor6ett, of
iowa, and Mr.. Watson, of Illinois, both
capitalists; the former thinks OF investing
in timber land near Covington.

The theatre goers of GAINESVILLE
who didn't attend the Playton perform
ance Thursday night, missed a rare
treat. THE Montebank" is an excel
lent play and Mr.. Eben Plympton is
decidedly the best actor that has ap-

The company was made up of good

sured the public that the performance

feel that the prophesy has been veri-
fed. We regret that the attendance
was so small.

A GENUINE treat has been furnished
the ladies of the city and country at
Evergreen Lodge during the past ten
days, and the crowds OF visitors who
daily walk or drive out Second street
attest the very general appreciation of
it. A gentleman just from New York
by way of st. Louis, says that in both
cities the Crysanthemum Shows were
the most popular resorts of the ladies,
and the universal popularity of this
beautiful flower was manifested on the
streets, at the churches, theatres, and
all public places, by the quantities
worn by the ladies, and in use for dec
orative purposes on dinner and supper
tables, etc.
All agree also, that Clarksville's dis
play, as to large numbers and tasteful
arrangement, exceed even that of the
New York Horticultural Society,
where there were fine single specimens
but not so many flowers, and not so
ranged for a beautiful general view.
These flowers are about now at their
best, and although many hundreds
have been sold, and removed from the
benches, yet the younger and later
plants are now blooming, and Mr..
Morton is concentrating them in the
centre of the house, so that the view
of them. is equally striking end beau
tiful.
Our lady friends are cordially invi-
ted to visit the green houses during
the coming week, before the close Of
the season for this autumn Queen"

No; you are mistaken. There is no
