First Regiment at Frisco.

Tho San Francisco Report printed
the following account of the arrival Of
the FIRST Regiment in its issue of June
II:
The Tennessee volunteers, over l.
100 strong, arrived this morning from
oakland, where they had lain ali night,
Thny are a ligh t-hoarted SGT of men,
these Tunnesseeans. They are tail,
liLho young fellows, with plenty OF
spirit and dash, and they are the gay
est and happipSt set of men that ever
marched oil an Olkland terrybOa The
music was good, for the band Of the
Iowa Regiment met them, and as they
stepped oil the boat the strains OF Dixie
greeted them. A loud and piercing yell
was the answer. There VAS 4 quicker
aud jAuntiur step and tho companies
marched to their hating place with a
stride so sprin1y that mono would have
| Thought the mon had been on a railroad
] since last Friday when they broke
! camp in Nashville. There was an air
! Of the p cLurcSque about them. They

men nor the sUlidity of the WOStcTncr.
! They have the movement Of those born
! in Southern lands, and this ana their

thcm are uniformed and they hope that
after they have settled down at Camp
Merritt, where they viii occupy the
space vacated by the Colorado Regi-
ment, ther will not DO long without
their due equipment.
"NO other State is represented in the
regiment and among the officers and in
the ranks too are names which are hon
ored as household words south Of Ma
son and D.xon's line, There is Col.
William Z. Smith, who fought for years
in the Twelfth Virginia Regiment and
surrendered with General Lee at Apo
mattox. The Adjutant, James X. Polk,
is grandson of President Polk; Maj.
Chatham is a son of Gen. Cheatham, a
noted Conf dorate leader. Maj Bayless
is regarded as one of tho best drill mas
tCrs in the United States, having been
professor OF military science and com
mandant of the cadets in the Nashville
Military Institute.
After the regiment had been break
tasted by the ladies of the Red Cross
the order was given to fall in. 1t was
carried out neatly and cxpcditiously y,
and amid the cheers Of tue men, the
} waving of handkorchiCfs from the ladies
and the shrill whistles OF the city front
the Tennesseans marched up Market
J Street and out to Camp Merritt. They
were all flower laden. Flowers adorn-

South Pittsburg would furnish a
home market for IN st of the sur.
Tlus produce Of the Sequachee val-
ley if controlled by the fal mers.
The way bills of freight received
show that vast amount of flour,

There is wealth and energy enough
among them to do so.-South

The exact point to locate the
above mentioned mill is right here
IN Sequachee in the very centre of

profitable investment. The -four

portions that if such a mill should
obtain only a portion of the trade

WHY they Love it.

There has always been a curiosity to
know why so many people arc intatua-
ted with the constitution OF tue State OF
Tennessee and unwilling to have any
change in the venerable document, but
a correspondent has discovered the
cause. lie sends in an extract from soc
ton 10, article ;, Of the constitution Of
the State Of Tennessee on the subject
of new countiOs, county lines, etc,
which reals rs follows:
That portion OF Marion county in
Cluded within tho following boundar es:
Beginning on the Grundy and Marion
County inc, at the Nick-a-Jack trace,
and running about six hundred yards
west Of Ben PoSrY's, to hare the Ten
ncssce Coal Railroad crosses the line,
running thence southeast through the
pocket near William Summar's crossing,
the Battle Creek Gulf, at the Cornar Of
Thomas WoUten's field; thence running
across tho Little GIzzArd Gulf at Rayon
Point; LhonCe, in a direct line to tho
bridge crossing the Big Fiery GizzRrd;
thence in direct line TO tho mouth Of
Holy Water Creek; thence up said Creek
to tho Gruudy County Inc, and thence
with said line 10 the 6rginni ing, is here
by detached from Marion County and
attached to the county Of Grundy.
II is as plain rs the nose on raft
mans boat that the reason why people
admire tue constitution Of Tennessee is
because they have here ombalmcd in
the organic law Of the State the exact
location Of tho "Nick-a-JaCk Trace, "
and once the landmark is reached there
is only child's play in finding "Ben Pos
ey's" place. OF course, The Pocket"
and Battle Creek Cult" can then be
discovered without much trouble, but II
troubles fell as thick as leaves in Val
lombrosa, it would not matter, because
soon the classic waters Of Little G!z-
card Gulf would be crossed and all the
glory of big Fiery Gizzard" revealed.
And when all these places are seen and
passed in review, thon still remains
Holy Water" to lure us on to deeds OF
daring and omprise high. With a CON
sLitution in which repose such geo
graphical treasures and such pearls be-
yond price Of nomenclature, it is small
wonder that people refuse to interfere.

Deafness CannOr ba Cured

by local application as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamcd con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumpling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can DO taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur

THAT CONVENTION,

The Democratic convention
made a good beginning in building
its platform at Chattanooga, but
there were lots of demagogism
mixed with it. Its demands Tor
reforms, for economy in the State
government, for a reduction of Of
fees, OF salaries and Of fees, and for
the creation Of a sinking fund for
the payment Of the SCate debt are
all right. But when it attempted
to saddle upon the republican par
ty the responsibility for the States
financial condition, it was playing
to the peanut galleries. And when
it endorsed "the wisdom, patriot
ism and integrity" of the present
state administration, if there
were any horses near they surely
gufiawed. The state election laws
which put the control Of elections
into the hands of the governor,
and which law is condemned as in
famous by all fair thinking demo
Gratis and has no open defenders,
was passed over in silence, One
thing the convention did that will
henc6t the state and show to the
people Of other states that even the
democrats Of Tennessee are not in
favor OF taxing the railroads out Of
the state, and that is, il refused tc
nominate for reelection the rail-
road commissioners who have as
srssed the 3,044 miles of railroad.
