COorhipoe deuce of the the Plttaburalt Geseite.j
PLEESTILIS, BLEDSOE CO., Tram.,
April 30, 1869.
11115, Errron: Entertaining the idea that
a communication from the "Sunny
%nth" might be acceptable to you and
your readers, I will write you a short and
plain description of Bledsoe and the ad
joining counties, confining myself some
- what to Sequatchie Valley and the conti
guous Table Land. Bledsoe and the ad
joining counties constitute part' of the
western limits of East Tepnessee, while
Beqttatchie Valley embrdila parts of
Maine, Sequatchie and Mirka counties.
Walden's Ridge lies on the East, and the
Cumberland Table on the west. The
Valley is , seventy miles long and from
three to : five miles wide. Walden's
„Ridge lb about the same length and from
eight to ten miles wide, 'while the Cum
berland Table crosses the entire State,
11ULtie from thirty to forty miles in width.
The Valley, the Ridge and the Table are
-.moderately undulating and lie finely for
• brining; probably three-fourths of the
• lati'd has no more inclination than is suf.
- Relent for thorough draniage. The Table
And Ridge are situated at an altitude of
• aighthundred to one thousand feet above
:40 Valley, thitheight being reached from
, lthe Valley by louts about two miles in
, length. In order to be better understood
.I,will now treat the various topics sepa
rately, concerning which persons about
in immigrate usually make inquiry.
•, THE BOIL.
The soil in the Valley ? as a general
-thing, is No. 1 "mulatto" limestone, and
where timbered; or recently cleared, is
very rich. second only to the prairies of
the West, while the lands that have been
'cultivated for half a century, are various
as"to quality of soil; some farms very
.good, and others, owing to the fact that
their owners never sow any grass, and
farm by the most exhaustive system, are
somewhat run ' down. Yet, having a
heavy clay stib-soil underlaid by the
primitive lime stone, they are readily re
cuperated by an enlightened system of
agriculture. It is not material as to what
point of compass the valley land lies, as
ait is all a warm, •generous, productive
soil, liberally 'rewarding the farmer for
i :his labor. The soil of the Ridge and
Table is free-stone, parts of it somewhat- ,
; sandi, but generally a sand .stone loam
underlaid by a clay subsoil.

THE CLIMATIC.
No section of the Union Is favored
with-so Pleasant and healthful a climate
as this part of the country. The aggre
'pe gate of snow the past winter did not ex
ceed one and one-half inches in the valley
'l - not more than six or eight inches on the
, • Table. The large streams do not freeze over
r more than once in a quarter of a century,
.yet the mornings are cool, sometimes
frosty, and always bracing in winter.
The iprings are early, setting in about
:the Ist of March. The Summers are long,
but owing to the character of the country
Are not excessively warm. No summer
can be more pleasant than that enjoyed
'by the inhabitants of the Table. The
autumns ere late, extending into the month
of December, and sometimes longer. The
fainters have been bngaged in farming
every month the past winter., In a word,
we have the severe and trying win.
ters of the North, nor the debilitating
~climate of the extreme South.
PRODUCTS.
' In regard to preolltiets we are peculiarly
~favored, being able to grow most of every
thing produced North or South. We
'grow corn, wheat, tobacco, rye, oats, cot.
"Lon hemp, flax, grass, potatoes, turnips,
Cabbages, beans, peas, &c. The Table
Land excels in the production ofrye, oath,
ant all kinds of vegetables. Turnips the
•_ past season were grown within flue miles
from where I write, that measured tvrenty
inches in circumference. The Irish pota
toes were very late and of superior qual
ity. While the Valley excels in the pro
duction of wheat, corn, tobacco, cloves,
ctc.
• STOCK onownrO.
This is a Nsfi. 1 stock country, our mild
Climate rendering very little shelter neces
wry, while the T able furnishes an abun
dance of free pasturage, lasting from April
Ist until the Ist of December. As a
stock country this is superior In many
respects to the prairies of the West, and
inferior to, none. The cotton States fur
nish us a ready and remunerative market
for all the stock we can produce.
FEINT 011 , 0WMG.
This is an excellent fruit 'country, ap
ples, peard, peaches, plums, cherries, and
all kinds of small fruits grow to perfection.
The fact is we are piet about as far South
as a good winter apple can be produced,
at the same time apples ripen in June.
Thenpple excels on the Table, while the
Valley produces a. superior peach ; they
grow by the road side, in the fence cor
ner{ and In briar patches, are free from
disease and bear abundantly. It is very
rare that we have 3n entire failure in the
fruit crop. The last shipment of apples
from here to the state of Georgia was
sold at 1110 per barrel.
*Mt=ALB
We have an abundance of the finest
of coal; the Table and Ridge being under
laid with several veins. Iron ore abounds
in inexhaustible quantities, plaster has

IMIXIGRATIO2f.
At this date this part of East Tenney

Tennessee, are receiving their full share of
- Imud_gration, with an Increasing inquiry in

nessee.
STATE Op FE LING
I will just say that I am a native of
Washington county, and that the people
here being in possession of that knowl
edge, have treated me very kindly, and
so far as I am informed they have
extended the same kindness to others
who have come among them, either to
prospect or permanently settle. The peo
de are not only willing but anxious for
!grants to come among them, and
any Northern man conducting himself
properly will be welcomed here, and be
lust as safe as in Pennsylvania or New
ork. To Northern men with capital,
or with strong and willing 'hands, 1
would say "come on," the people here' .
invite you, and there is room for thous
ands.
DUCES of LAND, &C.
Valley land ranges from five to thirty,
dollars per acre, the average is about
twenty dollars per acre. Good farms of
from two hundred to five hundred acres
can be bought at from twenty to twenty
live dollars per acre, with reasonable
time for the payments. Table land
ranges from fifty cents to three dollars
per acre. Good unimproved land can be
bought for one dollar per acre.
Considering everything none of this
land is held at more than half its value.
We have an abundance of the finest of
timber, in the Valley, on the mountain
aide, and on the Ridge and Table. At
present land is on the rise, withindlca
tions of more rapid advance during the
coming year. I will not make any com--
parlson with other sections in the South,
but just say to persOns wishing to immi- ,
grate to a country where health is the
rule and disease the exception, where no
long and vigorous winter destroys your
comfort and drainsyour purge, where an
early spring wraps all nature in her man
tle of green, where a long summer gives
the farmer-ample time for all hid opera
tions, and a trult.laden autumn crowns
his labors,jsome and see, and judge for
yourselves. All letters of inquiry will
be promptly answered by the undersigned
at Pikeaville, Tennessee.

pitfall of a carpet, bare walls, dingy 'win

Over the table-cloth, and slops the icoflee

Food there is in scant or free measure.
It is fried beefsteak. It is that house
keeper's friend, liver, also fried. It is in
termittent eggs, also fried. It Is ham,
also fried. It is the juicel es s age of beef,
and the pale immaturity of veal. It is
pickles, green with vitriol. It is flat and
flabby breakfast cakes, eaten with a syrup
which cloys the appetite. It is bread,
bitter and dry with alum. It is a desert
of a horrible compound indigenotut to
our glorious Union, and called pie.
Chemically speaking, it is biting acid and
crumbling alkali. Physiologlcatiy speak
ing, it is indigestion and billiousness.
Morally speaking, it is the devil, at whom
we fire our inkstand. The cheap restau
rants change nothing. Except that the
victim has a bill of fare, proffered by a
dirty waiter instead of a frowsy maid,
and pays a little more for the outline of
that waiter's big thumb on his plate, din
ner is the same depressing experiment.—
N. Y. Tribune.
Tan divorce law of Indiana has been
so managed that it will require consider
able more trouble and expense to parties
outside the State to get relieved of their
troublesome halves, than formerly. It
now requires that parsons filing applica
tions for divorce shall have been trona jrde
residents of the State for, one year prece
ding the filing of the application, and for
ninety days bona fide residents of the
county. Furthermore,• the law makes it
a felony for any person to make false rep
resentations in procuring a divorce, pre
scribes • confinement in the penitentiary
as a penalty, and applies the operation o
the act to any attorney who shall lend his
aalstance in procuring a divorce through
fraudulent means. This_is a great im
provement. Indiana has been for a long
time disgraced by its divoice laws, and
those laws have been the cause of gross
injustice and unhappiness throughout the
whole country.
THE CORRESPONDENT of the Petit
.Moniteur reports the following extraor
dinary exchange between the Pope and
an English nobleman: "Pius IX. re
ceived with his own hands the offerings
presented to him by the different deputa
tions. Among others, the Pope received
on the 10th an English nobleman who
presented his Holiness with a skullcap
filled with sovereigns. At the end ofthe
tassel was a diamond of Immense value.
Having presented his munificent offer
ing, the Englishman added, with the
usual phlegm of his nation, that he gave
the present on. condition of getting the
Pope's skullcap in return. Pius IX
smiled, and, riming the bell, he ordered
the servant to bring him another calotte.
When brought, he took off the one he
wore and gave into the Englishman, who,
put it into his pocket and retired, saying
that he was never so pleased in his lite. '
ROAD-MAKOTO t according to a recent
Message sent to the Legislature of Massa
chusetts by Governor Chalk', should be
given a prominent place in the course of
studies of agricultural colleges. - Cheap
transportation is one of the principal re
q ilrements of the present day, .and a
practical application of scientific princi
ples to the construction of.farm roads
will materially reduce the cost of taking
produce tomarket or the railroad station.
A. good road, besides, costs less to take
care of than an indifferent one. Thus, in
Massachusetts ! a Macadamized road, sixty
miles long, cost for repairs, in 1868 the
sum of $6,000, while an ordinary road,
eighty-two miles long, cost $14,528.

IN ON 7E,..011 TWO /NST.4iCEB Of
tion for divorce at the Supreme Court
now in session at Taunton, Mass, the
court refused to accept as proof of adul
