Tory Outrages in Ea*l Teunewee.
A correspondent of the Knoxville Regis
ter, writing under the date of Hawkici
county, April 22d f says :
The reinforcement of the Conacrpt law
forced hundreds of our cowardly traitors in
fo Kentucky, auci a like enforcement there
is now running them back upon u«. They
have taken refuge in our mountain 4 and des
cend to plunder fchr property of honest
men.
There are hundreds of that ciass of men
among us now, and the only security that
Southern men have against them is to bat
tle against them single handed, *!ooe, or
give up to these infernaf rascals, and leave
the country.
An incident occurred in this neighborhood
last night that I will mention to you. Col.
Jacob Miller, who is well known to you, is
a man of property and high standing here,
and wherever he is known, whose strong j
Southern patriotism has rendered him odi
ous ua the eyes of native and imported I in- 1
colnites. Seven of these abortions ot crea
tion went to his house lnt-.t -night alter he
had retired, two of whom allied to stay for
the night, stating they wore Confederate sol
diers. This was the passport to the hospi
talities of his house, and tfr*y were admit
ted, when they abused him aud family out
rageously, said they had been sent there to
take him prisoner and refuted to let him
move even to dress himself. While one
held a pistol upon him the other ransacked
the house, took all arms, ammunition and
whatever else suited them.
At their command, Col. M. unlocked a
desk, and whiis they were tfji to unlit a

It will be perceived front the abov
the lands valued the highest by tax piv
are in the Cherokee section, exot pi 1
i hdse valued lowest are iu what j-• kt
as the W tre Ora** region, and hav<
it9ed more for stock raising than for oti r
purposes in firmer years. In some of th .
counties, Sea Island Cotton is grown t , !
vantage, and in all of them agricult,,
improving, especially since the war ha* *
pended the timber trade.
W hen these lauds were drawn, they r
very little esteemed. Thousands of 1-t r
verted to the State, and were taken out by
any persons who would pay the Grant f> < *
Thus, out* hundred lots of 190 acres each,
amounting in all to 49,000 acres, c »uld h *v
been secured for 8300, the grant casting
only 83. One-fourth of the whole is proLa
Wy hehl under this kind of title, having O"*;
the glalilucd Icon than oue Cent pel urn .
Some of tin.<4*j very lots are now -ellii^,
8.3 and 81U per acre, the timber itself bcin;
worth thid amount. Asa general ru\ . h w
ever, the lands arc still cheap in the mark* t
The railroad facilities in that quarter h . vo
given anew impulse to property there, and
iu another generation these lauds will form
another Egypt.
