The Difference in Our Favor

The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railway company has COM
pleted its freight depot and opened it
for business yesterday. 1t is one Of
the most handsome freight depots in
the South. 1t is built CT the best brick
and all work done in a first class man
ner. The old depot will be used fer
shipping and the new for receiving
freight. Charles McCampbell and his
crew of hands unloaded ninteen cars
at the new depot observation-disclosures
vile Tribune.
Johnson City received % carloads
of freight one day last week and hand
les from Is to 20 every day and it has
the oldest and shabbiest depot on the
line. 1t is frame structure about
30x50 and the bark shed at tire Watau-
ga Tannery are palaces compared to
it. Col Huger, the Superintendent
passed through on No. 2 few days
ago. He was on the platform of the
vestibule sleeper as the train started
but as he neared the depot he stepped
back into the sleeper and did not re.
appear until the "eye sore" was out Of
sight, The mere sight of the building
makes officers of the road blush.

When you remember that the Con-

that we too are drawing pension. 1t
is a pension which costs no man any
thing, and the man who would take it
away from them is too low to aspire to
the dignity OF being contemplate
The pension they draw is the proud
consciousness of stern duty done in
the light the great God gave them tc

ence they bear to their dead comrades

Of the Lost Cause-who never saw the

JOHNSON CITY,

| Extract OF letter to Mrs. Stoddard
from Nathaniel Hawthorne, dated
Concord, January Goth, 1868.
MY DEAR Mrs. SToDDARD:
II am very glad to hear that you
are writing another novel and do not
doubt that something good and true
will come of it. l was particularly
impressed with the childhood OF the
heroine in The Morgesons,' and the
whole Of the first part of the book.
1t seemed to me as genuine and life
like as anything that pen and ink can
do. The latter part showed much
power, but struck me as neither SO
new nor SO true. Pray pardon the
frankness of my crude criticisms for
what is the use of anything unless we
say what we think. There are very
few books Of which take the trouble
10 have any opinion at all, or Of which
I conld retain any memory so long af-
ter reading them, as I do oil The NJ or-
gesons.' I hope you VIII not trouble
yourself too much about the morals Of
your next work-they may be safely
left to take care Of themselves"

A High Compliment.

The announcement that Mr., E. G..
Reeves time had expired as clerk Of
the Supreme Court and his successor
had been appointed, was something Of
a surprise to many people.
The high esteem, however, in which
Mr.. Reeves is held was evinced at the
opening of court yesterday morning.
Chief Justice Turney announced
that Thomas Latimore, Of Chattanoo-
ga, had been appointed, but it was not
for any lack OF efficiency on the part
of Mr.. Reeves. That gentleman said
the Judge has at all times been found
honest and capable, and, as he retires
from the service Of the court, the best
wishes OF the court follow him. -Jour-
nal.

After Malone took charge of the old
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, he
made arrangements to build the road
from Bristol to Cumberland Gap
known as the Virginia and Ken
lucky road. If we are correctly in
formed, he went so far as to borrow the
money, which was afterwards spent in
putting the Norfolk & Western in first
class order. The failure to build the
link to the Gap was caused by the
Kentucky people declining to give any
assurance ofthe time they would build
to the Gap, and this declination on
their part was brought about by Knox
vile influence. Knoxville people did
not wish to see a road running direct
from Bristol to Louisville, However
if Gen. Malone had gone along and
built his part of the road, ~ Ken
tuckians would doubtless have met
him long ago. This would have
