A PICTURE OP CHATTANOOGA BY a
WELL KNOWN WRITER.
Chattanooga, October 28, 1869.
Mr. Editor : —1 like Chattanooga—that
is, what I’ve seen of it—l suppose 1 do—
they say Upre that I do. I’ve been alt
aboiltthis inoruin’ lookin’ at ’em—that is,
at Chattanooga. 1 axed several which was
the town ; they were silent in language
but look and gesture “proudly imminent.”
It, or her, or they, is so scattered aud
splotched about that I don’t kuow yet
where it, or they, or her—Chattanooga, is.
But I suppose it is here, or here abouls.
It seems to me like the place had had the
measles, and by reason of the war the di
sease turned into small pox, and was now
gittin well in patchas.
Five railroads come in here, but I couldn’t
find but one depot and one hotel—the
through business won’t justify any more.—
everything goes through. They are afraid
to stop on account of freshets* Freshets
are big things here, they have such
high ones and so many of ’em that the folks
have got proud of ’em. They talk about
their freshets just like we do about steam
boats, and rolling mills, and commerce and
trade,—just like nobody else ever saw a
freshet. “Was you ever here in high was
ter?” says a fellow to tne'. ‘No,' says 1.
‘Well sir, you don’t know anything about
maritime business.’ says he. ‘Why sir, I’ve
the whole town from seventeen to lor*
ty-seven feet deep in water. Why, sir, J
there ain’t a city in these United States
that has such floods. Old Noar, sir would
have been proud of it. ( He would have
complimented us, sir.’
I’ve no doubt of it myself. I noticed the
effects of ’em—they are pennar.ant aud pro
gressive, I counted cite thousand seven
hundred one story-houses, about seven feet
high in the pitch, and the boards on the
roof brown by the sun until they looked
like one of those frizzly chickens that Mr.
Griffith has entered at the Fair. You see
the freshets gits over 'em and retires, and
while they are wet the nun comes out
and cup* the boards like reap hooks. 1
didn’t gee any shingles here much, and
narry tin or slate. Such things are eu%
tirely too expensive to risk in freshet. The
houses. I should say, with a few exceptions,
cost about thirty seven dollars and fifty
cents a peice, on an average, City
Council has passed an ordinance forbiding
the erection of stone or brick buildings on
Main street. I suppose they did, lor I
didn't see but two or three," and it “must
took some bribary to have got such a pri
viledge for them. Nearly all of the stores
have a front shod over the sidewalk.
These sheds dou’t cup down like Mr. Gam*
moil’s, but all of ’em cup up, for the pur
pose, I suppose, of holding water when the
freshets comes. The houses and scores are
all built low, and have barrels on the
ridge poles. They arc built low so keep
them from turning over when the freshets
comes ; and the barrels are filled from high
tide or such occasion; and don’t evaporate
all out untill the next oue comes along.
The merchants here have a hard time in
the way of insurance, for they have to take
out both fire and marine insurance; and
what is more, they can’t buy any goods on
time, unless they make their notes payable
before the next freshet*
But 1 like Chattanooga—that is if I
know which one of ’em them it is. I do
know that there are many high hill around
her, or it, or them, which present a roman
tic appearance, and all of which are wisely
and graciously intended Ararats in time of
trouble. A good may citizens have built
respectable residences about in spots, and
have underground anchors running up to
these hills. In the last big freshet. I un
derstood Mr. Divine *and fortyeseVen homes
floating around—all anchored by rope* to
* big rock in Lookout Mountain, and the
only difficulty he bad was in settlin’ them
down to their proper places, as the water !
fell. Since tbdn lie has changed his basis j
ness to haidiiware principally. He axed,
me to visit his new edifice, which f did. j
It was two story brick building seventeen j
bv forty—anything higher than nine left I •
is called nit edifice here.
I lik® *** I like Chattanooga,
what I hav’rt seen of if. There in » pict
ure of» large Ditty goat her.', painted on »
doo-, and the door is kept shut. I don't
know what it signifies, and I was afraid to
ax. but I like «t- It ha* an air of the j
my.terioßs. * .
Town poiitiefc* here is interesting. 2bo »

LETTER FROM GENERAL JORDAN ON
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Gen. Thomas Jordan, late of the Confctk
eraie army, but now second in command
among the Cubes insurgents, writes to
Colonel Harrington, of Chicago, as follows :
Guaimaro, Oct. 19, 1869.
My hsTEKHim 1 kiknp : Nearly two months
since 1 addressed a letter to a house iu
Now York, in which I represented '.lie great
need that the Cubans have of supplies of
clothing for men women and cliildrea,
medicines, arms and munitions of war. I
am gratified to find that this appeal of mine
has met with an cflemave response, and
that already a tilt in her ol cases of clothing
material have been landed iu the hay of
Nipe from a schooner bound fur Sisal,
Mexico, from New York.
1 wish, Colonel, that therejwcro hdndreds
of such responses, and that there were a
hundred Ameiicuii pens with me here to
repiesent the situation —to depict better
that can 1 the picture of tins civil wur.
W bile we have no absolute need of foreign
soldiers of any kind to curry this struggle
to successlul I run ion, we do nc<*d supplies.
As near as 1 am able to calculate, vve have
twentyvsix thousand eight hundred men
who have arms, and I state iu perfect sin*
eerily that w<- could use immediately sev*
fiitv-five thousand stand of arms, and with
that number iu our hands could end this
war in ninety (lay*.
We have not Winded our armies nor inn*
teriaL iu attacking large cities—seaports, I
mean— because even though we took them,
it would he at a sacrifice of life of our
train* and soldiers, with a perfect knowledge
that wt?could not hold them, for the reason
that we have no artillery to defend them
against the Spanish navy. Puerto Principe
mid all interior towns we have so closely
besieged that they are really of no avail to
our enemy except the name of holding them.
We oecasitHially are beiiefiitcd by it, lor in
their attempts to send them, supplies, wo
often capture their trains.
There are men of great mind and brain
in this cause. The Cuban patriots as a
people are men of a higher class than any
other Spanish Americans. They are, the
most of them, all the leaders at least, men
who have received their eilucation either
is the United States or in Europe. They
are comprehensive, aide, and devoted to
their cause. I observe that there exists a
doubt in the minds of a few citizens of the
United States of the extinction of slavery
in this island. Slavery was abolished when
the standard of revolt was raised, and again
by tho article of tho con*ti«
tiiHoii of this republic. There are forty
llt®rt»nd liberated slaves now following
our camp*. Thousands of them are armed
with inachelas, a half hatchet and half meat
axe. They have shown a willingness to
meet tho enemy in the open held with such
weapous only as these.
But what I most desired to call your at
tention to is out* grdat need of clothiag f ( [ r
our people. *1 feed assured that if this
pressing want of these worthy people was
well understood in the United States, there
would such a tide of contributions of mates
rials and money be poured in upon us as
would relieve all our wants aud secure for
the Cuban an early triumph over the truly
barbarous Spaniard. ,
1 wislt this ffiight be brought Iwfore t.»e
American ladies. I wish that they might
comprehend how 30,000 Cuban ladie saro
living an aboriginal* life, half-naked an
but poorly sheltered, as the forests and lid
sides and spreading pal in trees can shelter
them. Such an army of self-denying ladies
was never before assembled oneatlh. G"* 11,
devotion knows no parallel except in the
lives of our revolutionary mothers. I hope
the whole American people may realize the
situation of these people—their wants, sw*
ferings, devotion and worthiness—-and then
aid them. ,
I wish I had the time to write you mnen
more. But as our messenger can only cur

close this letter. Y*"i may address »'*
