East Tennessee & Ga. B. K. Sept. 11.
.—We are accustomed to hear the re-
Mark that railroads have created a re
solution in the commercial relations of
the country, causing marts to spring up
■from the wilderness, and leaving to
■bats and owls many of the little cross
road centres of business of the days of
wagon trade and stage coaches. There
are also those who assume that the
•ountry is no better for all this pro
gress, and these antiquated fogies real
ly regard the iron horse as a great bum
bug, after all. But figures—which it
is said never lie—illustrate the absurdi
ty of the assumption that there is no
actual benefit in these startling innova
tions. A case in point is afforded in
the value of the property along the line
es the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad,
extending from Bristol to Lynchburg.
In 1860 the value of taxable property
along the line of this road, a distance
of 207 miles, was $28,942,647—and in
1866, we find the assessment to be $63,
#17,229 ! an increase, in six years, of
#20,366,658. And nearly all this in
crease is the result of the completion of
that railroad, the total cost of which
was $7,000,000. Who can say that there
is no benefit resulting from this great
work, when the increase in the value of
property is shared by the people along
the line. The benefit resulting to oth
ers at the extremities of the road is
not considered. And our own gigantic
internal improvement—the State Road —
affords an illustration equally striking,
es the appreciation in property along
its borders. Much croaking has been
heard because of the expense of Build
ing this road, and of the danger that it
would never pay—are not the thriving
towns and cities of Cherokee Georgia,
aud her rich valließ, teeming with fer
tility—perpetual and ample dividends
on the investment, even should it never
return a dollar of its actual earnings to
the treasury.
I alluded, in a previous letter, to the
promising condition of the agricultural
interests of Tennessee, with her fine
system of railroads, while her soil is
not exhausted. There is much yet
wanting to develope the resources of
the State—much of industry and mus
cle—and it is questionable if the pre
sent population, unaided by an infusion
from the industrial elements of some
other clime, will soon accomplish the
high destiny for which nature fitted the
State. In all countries where nature has
been liberal in her bounties, the people
are disposed to let the old dame do a
large share of the work, and as a result,
there is a numerous class of easy-going
people who live in a rude style, relying
opon the rich lands around them for an
ample harvest. A lack of slaves is ob
servable, especially throughout the
Eastern portion of the State, and there
is no reasonable doubt that a more lib
eral infusion of the “ institution, ”
would greatly enhance all the interests
of the commonwealth. With a chance
to get slaves cheap, the ambition of
these easy souls would be aroused, and
I know of no region better adapted to 1
realise the very highest and most beau- '
tiful aspects of the patriarchal charac- 1
ter of slavery than the small farmers
of Upper Georgia and Tennessee. ,
It would probably be interesting to '
our readers, who are unfamiliar with 1
the new route North, through Tennes- I
see and Virginia, to know the different
railroads which comprise it, and their |
extent and termini. The East Tennes- <
see and Georgia Road from Dalton to j
Knoxville, is 110 miles in length. The ,
East Tennessee and Virginia Road, from ;
Knoxville to Bristol, is 120 miles in J
length. From Bristol, the Virginia ]
and Tennessee road extends to Lynch
burg, 204 miles. From Lynchburg, the 1
South Side Road extends to Burkesville,
70 miles ; from thence to Richmond is ,
53 miles-from Richmond to Washing ]
ton is 130 miles—making the distance j
from Dalton to Washington 687 miles, j
From Dalton to Atlanta the distance is <
100 miles. i
| (
The roads beyond Knoxville have !
been overrun with freights, and \
wheat has accumulated to the great an- I
noyance of dealers. The passenger
travel has been also immense, and the j
tide is now pouring Southward at the
rate of one to two hundred per day.
The weather for some day 6 has been '
hot, with intermittent rains, and there
is much complaint of chills and fever
in the valley settlements.
This hurried scrawl will probably
conclude my up-country gossipping for
the present; and I only regret that my ;
homed trip has deprived me of seeing
many of the interesting resorts of this
Beet ion of the South, and has rendered
the brief allusions to what I have seen,
so crude and imperfect. It is but just
to oliserve that they have been written
in pencil, sometimes on the cars, and
hence often almost illegible, and trying
to the printer. The reader will it U
hoped find in this some apology for the
inaccuracies in style or spelling that
have be Often ol» rvable. A.

I jj K . Editor The cotton crops in

j year, will hardly he as large as last

A Scene at Fountain Camp Meeting.
A portion of the free negroes about
Warrenton hired, at the Livery Stable,
a vehicle known as Jenny land, ogo to
the Camp Ground. Leaving their vehi
cle near the road, when the man, a
darkey, proceeded to unhitch the horses.
■ Coming back, he picked op the tongue
-of the vehicle to turn it a little out of
■ the way, when away it went down one
> of those sleep hills, with three women
- in it, at a speed that a horse could have
i hardly run. Women screaming for life
■ —vehicle turning over twice, throwing
, said women out head foremost, com
pletely smashing in the top of the vehi
cle. Some white ladies not far off, see
i Jug the women thrown out with such
violence, screamed and hollowed to their
male friends to run and help up those
ladies, which they did. On arriving at
the spot and finding them to be darkeys,
they declined helping them up. The
screaming of the females, and the rat
tling and smashing of the vehicle,
brought the people from all parts of the
camp ground, in less than ten minutes.
: There must have been some one thou
sand or fifteen hundred persons on the ;
i spot to enquire what was the matter— j
: when they were much astonished to
- learn that a wagon, or in other words,
i the Jenny Lind, without the use ofj
! horses, mules, or beast of any kind, run!
i away, doing great damage to Mit, Suk.,
- and hoops, as well as mashing the bon- j
t nets of others. It is enough to say that
; they did not present altogether as;
grand an appearance on their return
home as they did when they went)
i to meeting. I have no doubt but this |
is the last trip that the party ever will
take to Fountaiu Camp Ground in the
runaway Jenny Lind. Eye Witness. |

Gone to Boston.
Lieut. Maffit, it is known, touched at
New York to transfer the captain of the
slaver to the frigate Sabine, that he
might he conveyedjtoCharleston for tri

exhibits a gratifying state of the public ]
health. Only ten deaths are reported
as having occurred in the limits of the ,

Revival.
It is gratifying to know that there is
at present a very interesting Revival of
religion going on in the various church
es in this city, and especially among the
Methodists. From the statements made
by all who attend theexercises going on
at these places of worship, it is evident
that much good has been accomplished
during this refreshing period, and that
the true spirit of piety has been aroused
in our community. Let it go on, and,
let its benefits be universal and uncon-j
fined.— Atlanta Intelligencer, 1 ‘ilk.
j Good Cotton Picking. —Mr. W. R.j

place, and the number of pounds each 1
picked on Thursday last, which we
think pretty fair picking. Grown hands;
picked from 230 to 310 lbs., and one!
girl a No. 1 hand, pick 370 lbs. Hands I
from 12 to 14 years of age, picked,
from 140 to 180 lbs., and little boys

That Pig. —As many seem to have]
doubted that there was a Pig in the Di - j
trict with two heads, two bodies, eight
legs and two tails, Mr. J G. Jones, of]
Bamberg, brought it up on sale day last ]
and exhibited it to the crowd. It is !
now at this office, where it may be Been ]
by all who are disposed to doubt. The
mother of this wonderful curiosity, is j
the property of Mr. Joshua Rentz, and j
the pig was the last of a litter of 13. j
We defy the world to procure any thing

Aii American Desert—Terrible Suffer
ing from Thirst.
A long letter appears in the Dallas
I I (Texas) Herald, concerning the passage
! of McCullough's emigrant train across
: the staked plain to California, from
j which we take the following extracts :
From Fort Chadborne wa travelled
I South to the Choncho river (old Camp
! Johnson,) then followed up theChoncho
| to the edge of the great American De
sert. The great American Desert is a
barren waste. Soil, light and alkaline
1 nature, producing jnostly salt grass and
! a few mezquite {bushes and cactus. —
] This kind of country extends from the
i Colorado to the Rio Grande, is 250 miles
j in width and extends through our con
] tinent, being narrower in some points.
There are but few watering places on
] the route from the Peace to the Rio
] Grande. The herd had no water for
seventy six hours, and traveled one
hundred and thirty miles. The herds
men were without water or nourishment j
thirty hours.
Their exercise was very hard, riding
and hollowing at the cattle, and was]
calculated to bring on thirst soon. The
men suffered extremely for want of wa
ter and sleep : many 6bot down the
famishing bullocks on the road, stuck, 1
pulled off their boots or shoes, caught
the thick, hot blood and drank it freely,
and by so doing saved their lives. The ,
cattle were all very much excited, and
any of them would fight, and the men
were compelled to shoot many. ! *
Wo went into the Sand Hills with ,
1600 head of cattle, or struck the saud i
with that number, and left with about ]
1058, many of the missing having died
] for the want of water. On arriving,
, the men were all excited and hardly
i knew their comrades. Dan. Murray, 1
Wheatly, Celton, and Collier would
never have got to water had not some I
of the herdsmen been sent on after wa
ter and returned to them. They had
stopped by the side of the road.

Yellow Fever In New Orleans.
There is no abatement of this fatal
! disease in New Orleans. The Picayune

The weekly report affords no more fa
j vorable aspect. The a Imissions during
the week amounted to 293; the dis
! charges were 91 les6, viz : 202, and of
1 these only 90 were of yellow fever.—
The deaths, on the other hand were 118
’of yellow fever. There remained in
‘.he institution last night 668.
The manner in which the disease
I thus fluctuates leaves hut little room for

ience await the mercy of Him in whose

I*o** m of the Dress for the Hair :
CANTO i.
Miss Flora McFlirasey of Madison Square,
A lady of fas Iron, of wealth and of beauty,
Spent money like water for stuff for the hair,
And did it because she thought it a duty
To paint the fine lily—to perfume the rose—
To gild refined gold—though few wcnld suppose
Miss Flora McFlimsey, with beauty so rare,
Required aught to make her more charmingly
canto n. I fair.
Miss Flora had heard of a noted Professor,
Who dressed his own hair, tho r not a Hairdresser,
With a magical, wonderful, great preparation,
(Now used in vast quantities over the nation.)
This noted Professor was grey as a rat
At juvenile thirty—no older than that—
And the amount of poor hair his crown had on it,
(Though now as black as a raven's wing.
With lustre enough for a ball room king,)
Would not have been accepted, such was its
harsh and dry character, by any fashionist,how
ever bald she might have been, who e’er wore
a bonne
This is all of this beautiful and startling poem
which will bo published in this paper. If you
desire to learn the effect of the preparation
which Miss McFlimsey applied to her hair, call
at 312 Broadway, and Professor Wood -s Agent
will prove to you that WOOD'S HAIR RESTORA
TIVE is one of the best artk-los for beautifying
and promoting the growth and restoring the
original color of tfie hair, ever safe, put before
the world.

IIoXESDALE Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
Skth W. Fowl*— Sir : You are at liberty to use
the following statement for the benefit ol the af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ol
the grave. During my sickness I was attended
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended fur such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I wot
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsky Pbkrjn.
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, of Honesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practltiouer.

— jjgg” Cure the Liver.—There is
an article selling throughout tho country that
has attained the widest celebrity ever known as
a remedy lor Liver Complaints. We have refer
euce to DR. SANFORD’S INVIGORATOR, OR
LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cores a
most too great to believe, were U not tor tb( n
doubted ovidence that accompany the testimo
Dials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known
or Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debllit
that so often baffles the skill of our most eminent
physicians.
Dr. Sanford has been for a longtime one of the
eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
most of his were treated with tho Invigo
rator with such invariable success that he has
been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and
let tho world have the benefit of his discovery.
If those who are troubled with debility, head
ache, languor, or slow, lingering lever, wi'l try
a bottle, we think they might save physicians’
bills, and days, perhaps: years, of suffering.—
