East Tennessee.
Dear Brother Toon :—ln compliance with
your request, I will endeavor occasionally to
give the readers of the Index an “ item from
East Tennessee.”
As many know, this broken and fertile
portion of the country was occupied alter
natelypy the two belligerent powers sos two
year?, thus causing general devastation and
ruin of property. Having measurably re
eo'» r e**Nl from the blighting effects of “ mili
tary r;fle,” we Teel more interested in refer
ence t > the present and future. Our people
are industriously engaged in trying to develop
the hie den resources of the country ; yet the
want ff capital greatly retards the work.
Three uew railroads are in process of build
ing, cutting at right angles the main tho
roughfere route connecting the North and
South,and thus uniting Kentucky with “the
Old North State.” These roads will contrib
ute .m&'.erially to the wealth of the country.
A road is now “chartered,” and the grading
will sodb begin, leading from Cleveland (on
the roaiq,thoroughfare) to the celebrated cop
per mines at Ducktown in Polk County.
Many ODmpanies are exploring, digging and
boring for minerals of various kinds and oil.
As is generally the case, their prospects are
all flattering!
At last, our citizens are beginning to look
somewhat to the interest of the country.
Party spirit is subsiding, and old grievances
are being forgotten: the spirit of toleration
is returning. ‘
Our denominational schools have been
much neglected. “ The General Association
of East Tennessee Baptists” was revived a
month a^o; but, not having seen their Min
utes, not fully prepared to say what was
done. I understand, however, that a com
mittee was-appointed to look after the inter
ests of tjiet? Male College at Mossy Creek, and
the Female College at Jonesboro. I under
stand, further, that the Mossy Creek College
and boarding-house, together with whatever
may belong to them, are to be sold, and after
a certain old contract is satisfied the remain-
tile money is to be expended toward
the erection of anew college. At present
the Baptists have no school in operation that
might be considered strictly denominational.
Perhaps the largest, and 1 feel safe in saying
The best, school in is the Rice>-
ville Academy, located on the East Tennes
see and Georgia in McMinn County,
under joint Control of Profs. N. B. Goforth
and W. A. G. Brown, of whom are fa
vorably known as in Mossy
./Creek College.
In reference to Baptist progress, the minis
try, the religious Status of the country, etc.,
I will speak in theftture.

the Introductory Sermon preached befme the Georgia
Baptist Association, Oct. 12,1866. Bj P. H. Mell.
Published by request of the Associatioi. Atlanta:
Franklin Printing House. Pp. 86.
This Sermon teaches that “ God’s provi

good and bad, in the world of matter and in
the world of mind,” and “ is administered on
mysterious principles, above human compre
hension for the time, for the accomplishment
of God’s vast designs.” Like every thing else
from the pen of the author it is marked by
vigor of thought and thoroughness of discus
sion.

The legislatures of sixteen States have

Ice from the Alps. —Dr Prime, of the
New York Observer, in a recent letter from
Europe, gives an account of a railway up the
Alps to convey ice down to the European
cities. Thus, says he, the rail has made the
everlasting frozen glaciers and cataracts arti
cles of merchandise. As the quarries in the
mountains are worked by the art and spirit
of man, so the icebergs that here grow from
age to age, and scarcely seem to melt at all,
are cut into blocks and transported by rail to
Paris. The glacier of Grindelwal is drank
in brandy-punches at the Grand Hotel and the
Louvre. To get the ice these mighty frozen
seas are excavated in galleries, chambers and
magnificent saloons. The depths of snow on
the surface exclude the sunbeams, but calcium
lights shed a brilliant lustre reflected as from
a thousand mirrors of glass, and in small
apartments fitted up for the purpose the fur
niture of a well appointed parlor invites to
cool but not inhospitable repose.
The Holly Springs, (Miss.) Times says of
the cotton crop of that county : “ From all the
data that we have been able to obtain, we feel
satisfied that the cotton crop of Marshall
county, for 1866, will not exceed 7,000 bales.
In 1860, the slave population of this county
was upwards of ILQOO, and the number of
bales of cotton raised vvas over 46,000, or
more than two and a halt bales to each negro.
By the census of 1866, there were in Marshall
county over 13,000 blacks, and the cotton
raised amounts to about 7,000 bales, or about
half a bale to the negro.”

The Boston Daily Evening Voice, for Nov.

shows that, while the manufacturing corpora

X Million Persons Starved to Death.
A Calcutta correspondent of the London

the recent famine in the district of Orissa, in
India. A government commissioner has pre
pared a report, of which it is said:
A picture more heart-rending, x facsg more
hideous, could not be given. The commis
sioner estimates the deaths in alone at
500,000 to 600,000, and in some 'places he
admits that three-fourths of the population
have been carried off. Orissa had five mil
lions. Add the mortality of Midnapore,
which was as severely visited; of Ganjam
and Chota Nagpore, which were terribly, yet
more mildly* dealt with ; of Calcutta, whose
hospitals still tell so sad a tale, and of other
districts, where the sequelae, at least of star
vation, carried off many, anti remember that
the deaths are still going on afethe rate of a
hundred a day, and you will agree with the
rough estimate generally accepted here’that
the number of victims will not be under a
million. *%■ 9
The Sugar Crop of Louisiana. —The New

City Finances. —From the report of the
Finance Committee made last week, it appears
that the defalcation of the City Treasurer
amounts to $47,006.48, a part of Which will
be made up by property surrendered by the
treasurer and by his sureties. The total in
debtedness of the city, is set down at $327,-
274.96, while the city owns real estate valued
at $335,000.
It is a relief to notice that the soldiers’ quar

square, have been removed to some point in
the suburbs of the city. We hope now to see
these once beautiful grounds restored, partial
ly at least, to their former condition.
Ladies’ Home. —The last number of the
“ Home ” announces a change in the proprie
torship of that popular literary journal. Dr.
Powell retires from an enterprise which he
has been chiefly instrumental in establishing
upon a permanent basis. He is succeeded by
Col. J. S. Prather, a former editor and pro
prietor of the “ Daily New Era,” a gentleman
whose experience, taste and judgment in news
paper management will doubtless secure for
his new protege a successful career.
Mrs. L. Virginia French continues her con
nection with the Home as literary editress.
“The Daily Opinion.” —Such, is the name
of a proposed new paper to -be published in
this city by W. L. Scruggs, Esq., former edi
tor and proprietor of the “ New Era.” Mr.
Scruggs is a journalist by profession, and an

expects will commend the enterprise to public
favor. For terms, dzc., see prospectus in

The Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs.
The perfection to which they have been brought
is proved .bx, their rapid sale throughout this
country asnr¥oreign nations. They are every
where recognized as equal to the piano-forte,
and in Bome respects are preferable to it, even
as a parlor instrument. By the Cabinet Organ
all monotony of tone is avoided, while a sus
tained tone is procured. By the Organ, also,
diminuendos and crescendos can be produced
—an achievement impossible with the piano.
Other advantages are possessed by the Organ,
from the almost inestimable improvements
made in it by the enterprise and skill of this
firm, whose manufactured articles are known
only to be admired. —- Boston Transcript.

MITCHELL. —Departed this life, our beloved sister,
Mary Mitchell, (wife cf brother 'Asa B. Mitchell,) in
Fayette county, Ga., on the 12th day of November, 1866,
after an illness of seventy days, which she bore with
humble resignation.
She was born Oct. 26, 1806, in Madison county, Ga.,
and was the daughter of Charles Williford, and married
to Asa B. Mitchell «n the sth day of January, 1831. She
joined the Baptist Church at Flat Creek, Fayette county,
Ga„ in August, 1828, and was baptized by the Rev. Rob
ert M. Still. She had five sons and five daughters ;
three sons and one son-in-law were in the Confederate
serdKce. They were good and faithful soldiers. One
Bod and one son-in-law were killed on the field of battle,
one son died from disease, and the other was wounded
five times, but still survives. The children are ail re
spectable and good citizens. Sister Mitchell was a con
sistent member of the church through life, and died in
the triumph of a living faith. There was only about
five hours difference (according to record) in the ages of
brother and sister Mitchell; one Was baptized in June,
and the other in August, 1828. Brother Mitchell has
been a deacon of Flat Creek Church about 33 years, and
his wife was truly a helpmate to him in the discharge
of all the duties as a deacon, and in the domestic aflairs
of life; she was truly a mother in Israel, and esteemed
as such by all who knew her. At the time of her death,
brother and sister Mitchell were the only members of
Flat Creek Church who were members thirty years ago.
They lived in harmony and peace with each other all the
time. Sister Mitchell was kind, and generous in her
contributions to the church and to the destitute in her
neighborhood. While it is a sad bereavement to her
husband, children, and the church, it is equally so to the
neighborhood and community in which she lived and
died; but we believe our loss her eternal gain.

PROSPECTUS.
Viewing the many aggravated evils with which strong
drink is cursing the human family, I wish to labor to
curtail its use. For this purpose I propose to start a
paper, to be called •“ The Temperance Advocate."
ft shall be the object of the Advocate to labor for the
Temperance cause alone. In doing this, it will seek not
only to point out the many and various evils which
strong JritiK entails upon our race, but also to portray
the biasings resulting from Temperance. I have been
long receiving, from distinguished persons, in different
States, encouragement, to undertake such an enterprise
with promises of their aid, if I would do so. I can,
therefore, assure the public that the Advocate will con
tain the writings of the ablest pens in the land—the
pens of eminent theologians, physicians, Ac. Anion*
others, I have the promise of articles from s distin
guished physician, on the physiological effeo*» alco
holic liquors on the human system. All tbe*e advanta
ges, accompanied with the use of excßa"# 68 from all
parts of America, if not of Europe, enable me to prom
ise my readers one of the very best Temperance papers
ever published in our country. It will be published
semi-monthly at Gallatin, Tenu., and Franklin, ky., at
two dollars per year. .
As this is an individual enterprise, undertaken solely
to benefit the human race, and one which looks to pat
ronage alone for support, I hope and believe my many
friends will redeem their promises to aid me in every
possible way. I also ask trie ds of Temperance every
v.here to forward subscribers’ names and money forth
with, that 1 may get the paper out soon, and 1 pledge all
my energies to make it eminently worthy of support.
Address me a* Gallatin, Tenn.
