( O.ML TO EASTERN TEXAS.
From the T.vter* (Texvs) lirport'r.
People of the older States, instead of
risking everything in ernmigrating to
distant region*, should come directly 'to
Eastern Texan. Here we ha.ne homes ,
for all. Here plenty smites o« every j
side. Here enterprise and industry
have their sure reward. Eortur.es can
and w ill he made here within the next
few years. Our soil is productive and
easy of cultivation. Our climate is
salubrious and genial. Timber and ,
water are abundant and excellent. — ;
Corn, cotton, wheat, oats, rice, barley,
tobacco, sugar cane, potatoes, and al
most every kind of garden vegetables,!
grow side by side on llie s»wve farm.
Fruits ol many kinds* apples, pearlies,
quinces, plums, cherries, tigs, pears,
»!j*c.,grow luxuriantly. It is a country
remarkably adapted to the cultivation
of the grape. The Catawba, Scuper
nong, E-l ‘Paso, Delaware and many
other varieties being now successfully
cultivated, which ail grow as well as
our native grape, which only needs a
little cultivation to moke pt equal in all
respects to any other grape in this
country. Most grasses, too, succeed
well here, but have .received but little
attention as yet.
We In.we in Eastern Texas a large
preponderance of white people. —
Churches and school-houses are already
built in every neighborhood. Saw and
grist mills, cotlou gins, and other nec
essary machinery are in successful
operation all over the country. Still
we have a great abundance ol fine lands
unouktivated, and lor sale on terms very
favorable to immigrants. Land cantfee
bought cheap, and on as long time as
one could reasonably desire. A small
payment ol cash in hand, and ouv best
unimproved lands can be had cm a long
credit, with payment in yearly instal-t
ments. Provisions of every kind will
be cheap this fall. IS tuck are also
cheap. Eastern Texas will bid high
for settlers this year, and Smith county
will strive to be in the lead.
Preparations are already making to
associate landholders *n this portion of
the State into an organization to aid in
the settling of our unoccupied lands.
Arrangements will he made for supply
ing a-.large numbt r of immigrants with
lands at the present low prices. An
agent —one of high standing and char
acter a-s a thoroughly practical man,
will visit the East, to stimulate immi
gration to Eastern Texas. He will
prepare the way dor (the water and
railroad transportation of immigrants,
on more favorable terms than can be
secured bv unassociated ‘individuals.
He will also secuie powets of attorney
and appoint agencies for the sale of
lands throughout several .comities.—

subject, can address Judge O. M.

JNkcG.iyOCK CE.IIETERI.
Most of our*readers are possibly
aware of 4 he efforts t hat have-been made
hy [Miss Mary A. M. Gay, ol Decatur,
vteurgia, io inUc funvts tor me nunal ol
the Confederate dead, at Franklin,
Tenti., and fur enclosing the cemetery.
About a year ago Miss Gay went to
Texas to solicit donation* to this work.
She asked four thousand dollars in that
State, and got it easily from the free
hearted people.
We have seen a letter from Col, Mc-
Gavoek, of Franklin, Tenn., who gave
the ground for the cenieliry and after
whom it>is named, from which we learn,
enough to infer that the work is now
completed. An iron railing for the
enclosure of the entiie cemetery has
been made in Cincinnati, at a cost of
thirty-six hundred dollar.- - , freight in
cluded, and the contract was feeing
filled lor its erection. 'The railing, we
are informed, is very handsome, the
gate having a silver plate wrought in it
bearing tlie name of Miss Gay, as a
memorial testimony of her remarkable
activity and perseverance in raising
funds with winch to carry on the work-.
The rei«aim of about fifteen hundred
Confederate soldiers, who fell in the
battle of Franklin, have been collected
and reititered in this cemetery at a cost
of about five dollars ami a half eirc'.u
'The ladies ol Franklin, tl r ngh a series
of public entertainments, have raised
funds for ornamenting the cemetery
with shrubbery, flowers, <fec. The
whole of that community, we learn, are
devoted to the work, and Ifave great
pride in thus showing respect to the
memory of the brave men who fell upon
that memorable field. The cost of the
whole work approximates nine thousand
dollars; but we learn that an official
report of what has been done will soon
be published, including statements ol
how the money was raised and how it
was expended.
Col. McGavoek is among tlie most
generous of the contributors* He do
nated a beautiful lot immediately in the
rear of his handsome tesidence and
adjoining his own family 7 burial ground.
The work has been done under his
supervision, and through his care the
funds contributed fortius purpose have
been used to the best advantage.
'Too much credit cannot be bestowed
upon Miss Gay* for her untiring energy
iu the good cause. The whole work,
we are informed, has been done mainly
through her instrumentality 7 . She has
a brother interred in the cemetery, and,
we learn, that, at an early day* she will
place a monument at his grave. Other
monuments and durable headstones
will also be erected, in time, the whole
making the cemetery a very beautiful
memorial to the dead who slumber in
it. —Ladies Home Gqzeit.
A sevf.re tornado visited Bellevieu,
Ky., just above Newport, on Saturday,
blowing down several houses and doing
other damage.
The Fox, llie Goat, ami tlie
Carrots.
A fox and a goat were walking to
gether on .the main road* Alter hav
ing advanced a few yards they saw a
bag tying at the side ot the hedge.
“I wonder what there may be in that
bag,” said the goal.
“I’ll see,” said the fox ; and putting
his mouth to the suing with which llie
bag was tied, he bit i* through in a mo
ment. Then seizing the bottom of the
bag with his teeth, he shook it. and the
most splendid carrotts rolled out.
“Those are for me.” said the fox,
“for 1 have opened the bag.”
“You shant touch them,” answered
the goat, “else I’ll batter you with my
horns tilt your ribs crack.”
The fox .looked at the large horns of
tlie goat, and showed his teeth. The
goat seeing the fox's teeth, thought
within himself, “1 don’t like these
sharp fellows.” And the fox thought,
“I don’t believe my ribs would stand
those horns.”
So they kept standing i vertl-e carrots,
and looked at each other, but neither
had t he courage to touch the spoil.
After a pause the fox said*
“What’s the use of our standing
here ? Let us see'which of us is the
stronger. Yonder are two heaps ol
stones* Take you one of them and
I’ll take tlie other,; he who first throws
down his heap shall have the carrots.”
“Very well,” said the goat. So
they went each to his heap.
The goat placed himself on his hind
legs, and knocked with his horns till
the ground rebounded, but tlie heap
kept immovable.
••Yon don’t hit hard euough,” said
the i"x. “Take a run at it.”
Th o goat went a few steps back, and
and rail at the heap as violently as lie
could, Crack ! crack 1 and both Ins
horns fell to tlie ground.
When the fox saw this he commenc
ed dancing on his hind legs.
“Alt, my dear iellow,” cried he, “tlie
carrots are now for me.”
“Not yet.” said the goat. “You
haven’t thrown down your heap, and il
you touch the-carrots before then, 1 11
light you with the slumps that are left
on my head.”
'l'ite fox looked at the goat’s stumps,
and thought, “One of them is very
sharp ; he might rip up my 6ides.”
“Very well,” he said, “I’ll throw
down my heap ; it’s a trifle to me.’
The fox began digging round with
his fore-feet till there was a large hole,
in the ground. The heap tottered and
fell on the fox, and broke his left hind
leg.
There (they stood, looking at one
another with a sad countenance ; the
one with broken horns, the other with
a broken leg.
“Jump at the carrots,” said the goat
maliciously. “1 now leave them to
you.”
“I can’t,” sighed the fox ? “my leg
pains me too much. You may take
them.”
“Very well,” said the goat, and ran
toward the bag. But, O dear! there
was neither bug nor carrots, for during
(heir quarrel a peasant had passed by,
•and picked wp both.
“Alas-!” cried the goat, “What tools
we are3” Had we divided the treasure
in peace, 1 should have saved my horns,
you your leg, and each of us would
have had enough ©1 carrots.”— De

Georgia.—Good Sentiments.

on the 22 tilt:
'The great mass of the people, both
white and colored, are industriously

Richmond, Va. August 22. —Ex-Go\
eruor Wise delivered an address to-day
at Washington and Henry Academy.—
He said we all know we owe a nativ*
ral allegiance to our country, and any
oath to support its Constitution or oath
of registration was a violation ol that
Constitution. There is an effort to
make the white fire eaten of the South
subject to the domination of the black
freed men. Against this we must ap.
peal to the white masses of the North,
who will not (permit the sacrifice of na
ture’s laws lo political prejudices.—
The v, hies of New England., the Mid
dle States and Europe must not be kept
out of the South by black rule. This
is the while man’s laud, and must be
kept open for white men. lie said
that to avoid national dishonor ©repu
diation, interest on national bonds must
be reduced 10-lj percent ;-lhal inter

dated then the rich would stop hoard

renew their allegiance to their country,
and never desert the Constitution ; to
preserve the purity of their race and
blood, and labor incessantly lo live in
peace and plenty,
The .President is said to be con

ifialhe has the ‘constitutional power to
do so.
It is said'that Gen. Prim, the Spanish

There have been no formal resigna

A duplicate number for each ticket will be placed in
a round box. on small pieces of card, and mixed indis
criminately. The first number drawn takes the first
prize, thesecond tte second prize. Kvery fourth tick
et takes a prize. The drawing will take place in pub
lic. and conducted by disinterested men, under oath.
For full descriptions of property and my references
send for a cireu&tr, as tax is so heavy I will have on
ly one place to sell tickets.
special zpx-l^ust
Those who wish t*> buy tickets on this special plan,
can do so as follows : I will sell a one dollar ticket for
fifty cts ; if i' draws a prize you will pay $2 for the
prize, or not take it, I will sell a one dollar ticket for
twenty-five centsif It draws a prize you will pay four
dollars for the prize, or not take it 1 One advantage in
investing in this way is this: If you should pay twen
ty-five or fifty cents, for a ticket, and it should be a
blank, you are out only so much ; whereas if itwas one
dollar , you would be out fifty or seventy five cents
