In U .e l - Kiitorroy, Sept 19. Natnre has divided lenuessce into four sec tioiis, distinct in soil, climate, and l rod net, as also In the character istics of their inhabitants. These are the East Tennessee Valley, the .Cumberland Mountains and tuMe land, the great miudle or Nashville basin, with its rim, and the West ern slop of atric-tly cotton lands. Unlike" her Southern sisters, the length of the State runs cast and west, and, though she has no sea coast line, her western border was formed in that vast inland sen which once stretched up north-west from the Atlantic Ocean, and hence she" has all the 6oiIs characteristic of the sea-coast States, while ii? her extreme eastern boundary she takes in some of the highest peaks of the Unaka Mountains, the oldest. land on this continent. cT,lu. coming dpwa ;vfronx rthc most ancient formations to those of the present, and having nearly all the gitt1ogieal, -formations of every other State in the Union, her products, are cqaly as general, her what-iswuiicftijiMicsota, anQVLer1 cotton ranks as, aijjh' as any except strictly Sealaland;sshe has corn lands cleared for over 50 years, which yet rival the fertility of the Western, orairies, and at (ho samo timo. she grows the rice of the Carolinas. She has meadows in grass without change for over years, and yet producing a, ton (if nay Uilhc acre, too'fevv of these last it i truebgtnouglt tphow how great a producer of the crop, which the New-Englander delights to call king, she might be had not her people been slavesTo corn and cotton, In., the common parlance of the.

The Western or Mississippi por tion, of West Tennessee will never be other than it is, s cotton country. Over it hangs the heavy blackball of deserted farms and shiftless -la-lor which oppresses South-Wcst Georgia. The eastern half border ing on the Tennessee Uiver has better future,' aud .may 'become prositerous from a mixture of crops it is more elevated, more health', ana is, in part, underlaid by a vast deposit of marlr This whole West Tennessee section may be fiaid to be identical with the Atlantic belt of lands which, beginning in New Jersey, extend down to and beyond t lorm.v A glance at apy map wil show thatthe Tciinesscb River, af ter j-nnning-through North Ala uama, turns tureciiy nortn across the entire width of the State of Tennossee; f,oing west ' from this river, we first pass over a narrow sthp tor lim'estofiA soil, '.and then come to rolling lands underlaid ith greensand, then the .rotten limestone and the Band belts, anil. lastly, the rich alluvial bottoms on the Mtssjasippi. , t . 1 j As I hae t the greater por- biuu ui tuia Bpciion is strictly a cotton -region, 4nd unless there be some very radical change in labor or in mode of eulth-ation it has seen its best days.

Crossing the Tennessee, going eaKt, we cotno to a vast area of limestone lands, resembling an ob long saucer, with a broad, almost flat. rim. This rim is chiefly of a variety of limestone known as sub carboniferous, and gives a soil like that in Missouri around St. Louis. It is interspersed with small areas of soils and rocks like those of Western New-York. It has an average elevation of nearly 1,0X feet alove the sea, and comprises the great tobacco and peanut-growing counties of the State, and at the same time good crojis of coUoa arc grown, and from tUe grains, es pecially wheat, large yields are ob tained. It is probably the best and most certain region for farming in Tcnne&sce. The soil varies from a light red to a deep chocolate col or, auci trie native tree grotii oi oaks, hickories, poplar, and wal nuts. is very luxuriant. It cannot be called first-rate for grasp, but grass spwn with clover will do well. Thors is no good reason why any Xrpr-" -tlI? .?'im. a with even moderate industry""iinU' should not oly do well, but also make money'. Tennessee raises full 25,000,000 pounds of tobacco, and more than iliree fourths is from these rim lauds. It ia a heavy leaf with small stem, which sells readily for export From 700 to 1,500 ounds per acre is the range of y ield, but the average may be set do vn at S.i0 pounds. The town of Clarks villc alone shipped, in 1873, 14,500 hogsheads. It is plain that the grade of this toJUtcco my be im proved, but the average price of the present quality is about 15 cents per pound. Another great crop of this region is peanuts, chiefly raised in Humphreys Coun ty. The usual product per acre is 40 bushels, and the price seldom ranges under $1, while it is fre quently much higher. It is a crop to which attention has been given since the war, and now runs up to over 000,000 bushels. It is' plain, therefore, that with lands yielding $10 in peanuts, and $100 in tobacco or $30 in cotton, and at the same time growing good wheat crops, not inferior co.ro, and at least second rate for grass, that this section is a desirable one for the farmer; and, as transportation is easy, it is his r.wn fault that he docs not accumu late money. A BASIN OF B1XK CRASS. Descending from this rim an average of about 200 feet we find t he great blue grass region of Ten nessee, as fine a stock-raising sec tion as any in the world. The soil is like that around Ulica, X. Y., and south-east to the upper part of Orange County. The more .south ern climate makes tbe blue grass perpetual and calls for leis strict and shorter shelter for cattle in Winter, while 'it' also permits of growing cotton as a money crop.. When 1 say 114, thopsands ol your readers, willoot'heed further de scription; they will know that -in thiseection they have a soil where cheese and butter can be made to perfection aud the best of beef fat ted; markets, transportation and climate is all upon which they will need information. Hounded on the east and south by the high Cumberland mountains and protected from the north winds by the highland , rim, this Nash ville Basin has a climate cool in Summer beyond what its low ele vation above the sea (averaging only ,700 feetj would seem to war rant, wtiilo' its Winter'climate. is sufficiently cool to be invigorat ing. At Lebanon University : the observations of many years make the average mean' temperature of the year 50 degrees, while the highest Summer heat known dur ing that time was 97 degrees. Springs of cool water are abundant, but all more or lees limestone. The markets are Nashville,. Chatta nooga and the Southern cities. -Railroads lead to Louisville by one ronte, to Chicago and St. Louis by another, . by , a third to St Louis alone, again to tho' cities of Ala: bama aud to New-Orleans by the Nashville and Decatur and South and North Railroad, and to Chat tanooga by road leading from Nash ville- and thence hito the heart of Georgia hj: the Western and At lantic. Rates of freight on the railroads are very cheap, and the Cumberland . river also affords cheap transportation for thousands of tons of produce. This whole Middle Tennessee region, embrace ing an. area of pver. J.3,000. square miles, may 1e said to be in, every acre productive of agricultural or mineral wealth, and continues now the most generally diffused intelli gence of the State. With a good soil, excellent climate, easy trans portation. : to .market,, and -.cheap fuel, , in - immense beds of coal on its eastern.', and southern borders, no one but must admit its present great advantages and future wealth ana prosperity.- '- . : THX CUXBKJtLAHD PLATE AO. r Between the limestones" of Mid dle and those of EastTeunessee rises, up a fast series of mountains sometimes lifting in single peaks to on elevation of over 3,000 feet above -the sea, then coming down to 2,000, and laying thus in great long plateaus, 'from 5 to 20 miles wide, as level as the Western prai ries, luia is the Cumberland T- ble 'Land, ' as wonderful a freak of Natare s sublime work as the tree less- plains ' ft so freonently rescm bles,, but unlike , them, . covered everywhere with good .timber growth, sometimes - wonderfully luxuriantly, . and throughout it great extent of over 5,000 6quare mi lea underlaid with many veins of excellent bituminous coal..'

I have seen on thia plateau good peanuts and very good liglvt yellow kared tobacco.

W. Howard, were the source of admiring re marks from every one at last year's Georgia State Agricultural Fair. A seedling of the Baldwin gave there such fruit as would put to sbarae even tho great excellence I of its parent of the North. To the Summer tourist or seeker .for health the clear, pure water and invigorating air of this table land will ever be an attraction, an I in the deep recesses of its " rocks the geologist will find study, and the manufacturer employment for thou sands of years. Nature has siugu larl v placed this great storehouse of iron and coal between two areas of the finest farming land on the earth. Unknown as it has been, in a few years a railroad in direct air line from Cincinnati to Chatta nooga will cross it for over 70 miles, and gh'e easy access to its grand scenery and dellghjfrl climate. .. f IJE; TALtEYOr TUE EAST, '. Tho great East Tennessee Valley w i ai - leunessee, yet in tuc aprsreiiaLC is inferior in soil and in the status as to improvement ; in , culture, yields, and stock.-' In its topogra phy it is a series of ridges and valleys; of these, the valleys arc, very fertile and nearly all in culti vation, the hillsides so greatly in their primitive woods that one can hardly say what may be made from them, their luxuriant growth of timber clearly indicating that a day wilf come when they can be nsed. The soils of East Tennessee comprise every character, from the rich alluvial down to the . sandy barren, but its chiefs soils are de rived from the decomposition of magnesian limestones, . and have no superior for wheat. Corn is the universal crop on the rich low lands, and wheat or other small grains on higher grounds. Com ing from the Cumberland Moun tains, the valleys begin with a rock formation of sub carboni ferous limestone, which to ray unscientific readers I may remark is a rock very rich in fossils, hence containing some phosphoric acid; then we have, alternating, the dol omites or magnesian limestones, and the scries of lime'o:ies com mon to the Nashville Basin of Blue Grass lands, to near the North Carolina line, when we come upon vast ridges of sandstone, known as the Potsdam, and then pass gradu ally through the micaceous and taloose slates to the gneiss on the high peaks of. the. Unaka Moun tains. ..... ; The ridges through this course are chiefly of red clay "dirt, " inter spersed with a flint 1 called chert This is derived from the decompo sition of a sandy limestone, and wherever cultivated these ridges have' proved to be" good wheat lands-, and when a location.: -carefully selected have no superior for the growth of. apples, pears, aud peaches, and some varieties of grapes. It is a loose, open soil, never suffering from drouth, and on south-west hillsides crops are never liable to be injured by frost.' Some of the ridges have sandstone rocks and connot be of m -irked fer tility, while on one, over summit :;nd sides put out the decomposing points of the same - limestones which have made the Blue Grass lands of 'Kentucky famous, "and where that unrivaled food for s.oek has been sown or . is allowed to grow, these peculiar knobs become sircply . elevated i meadows. The soil on these knobs is of a dark chocolate color where cultivated, and in. the woods', approaches black, froui the great quantity of vegetable matter it contains. At every point where in woodsthe East Tennessee- Tidgea ' afford ex cellent pasture lands in Summer, and they, as well as tbe Cumber land table lands, might become the great source of supply of fine me rino wool, but for the fact that one dog is valued more than a dozen sheep. Of course this feeling is not universal, but the class who think thus and. who have a- half dozen half-starved curs . around their hovels is entirely too large for any Legislature to dare take the matter in severe hand. WHAT KEEjTS EAST TENNESSEE CNDEIi. .The great need of East Tennes see is a money crop. Cotton is raised to a small extent, " and . its growth "might be' greatly extended, as many acres are as suited to crow it as where thousands of bales are produced ia Georgia with warming fertilisers. Tobacco might also be grown - with, profit, as has been, demonstrated by sev eral experimental . fields. ' 'There is a lack of energy among the peo ple and a strong , disposition to let well enough alone, which keeps them from trying new . ideas, yet there is probably no equal area in the Santa In 'which Taanyimprov. ed 7 agricultural mplemefcts, are nsed as in the valleys, i border! n on the East Tennessee, - Virginia, and Georgia Railroad. v The : mis fortune is that with abundance of the best iron and coal and finest of timber trees, much the' greater part of the farut-jmplementa, even to wagons, come - from the - North- J West Again, there is no barf of thelSqutlr.oCtbe same;area as East Tennessee which possesses such a variety of soils and thot possibility of producing so great -a range of crops, y : .. . t . . ,t . f . .There Is a Wit' of land 'from' four to ten miles wide, running for 100 miles within less th?n . five miles of the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia " Railroad,' "that has not in all-New-York -its supe rior ioroairy tarmiog, l anUr from the depots on .this, -road, thetbutter could be. sold for 30 cents tier patina ana over, casu, for shipment south, yet there, is. not a. single Lregular dairy in the region! The most reliable- fruitv lands- m the woild are. the .ridge; to which I have alluded, and I havo seen pears grown on one of tWm, ear Kingston, Roane County,-rivaling the Cttlifornlas in size and beaut ami far surpassing them in ' flavor, yct in the fruit markets of Chatta nooga the demand is supplied by California. " With the change of crop system being adopted by the cotton planters of , Oeorgja,., evry yeai - w,ili lessen, the,- deiaaanA, there for Tennessee . cjrn, and hence ihea peoj.J jmist? seek out new crops; unless caal should fur nish them in V manufacturing estab'iahmcnts' Sbome market Upon the' whole, ft - may be said that, in soil, and climate, and mineral resourees,tEast Tennessee l offers to the immigrant more ad- vantages than any other part of 1 HAIUtOAOS, STEAMBOATS, AND WHAT - , ' . . IS SO.D. . , At present transportation is af forded by only on i railroad which, entering the state 'at Bristol, Va., there communicating with Nor folk, follows the s&uth-west course of tbe valleys to Cleveland, where one stem brancheo Chattanooga, the other to Daltfti, Ga. Unlike railroads . generany, it has not sought the poore soils, but on its line may be fgiiad .some of the best farming lanof which any country can boast Another road is partially bailC?and will be fin ished in a few yws, communica-tin-f j t?rK orfa" : Va., and Wil S, ,v" : arough. the moun- hMw'-i'..;..-w'L it'MrihCy another now snows aitTns ol beinz construe ted into South Carolina and to Charleston; then the Cincinnati Southern runs down tho western valley for nearly 80 miles, and will be completed in a year. The great outlets, however, are the rivers. Six steamboats ruu from Chatta nooga to oints above, and are now carrying corn in sacks for over 100 miles at 3 cents per bushel; high up on Powell's River, the Clinch and the Ilolston, the farmers build rough, strong flat boats and thus annually send down over 200,000 bushels of grain. The railroad, too, offers great in duecinents, and large quantities seek its cars even from sight of the boat landings. Thus it may be seen that the shipments from Ea6t Tennessee, isolated as it appears to be, are no mean quantity, while there is no possibility of computing the hogs, horses, mules, aud cattle driven to the Southern market; at the came time, with her. vas'. stores of coal and ii on, of oak, hickory, and walnut, and superb water'powers. and cheap transpor tation,, she should not , buy - from abroad a plow or a mower, or a bedstead, a stove, or an ax handle, nor ship abroad a bushel of corn or a barrel of flour, but fill South with articles of her manufacture, and send her hay, her wheat, and hr corn to them in the products of skilled labor, and in the best of beef, and havo no superior in quality or quantity of her cheese and butter. ' A TLEASIXG PROSFECT. . ' It appears to me that the agri cultural future of Tennessee is very promising. The eastern and western borders of the Cumberland Mountains must become great lines of mining and manufacturing es tablishments; these will create a demand at home for 'a huge part of the products of the cast and mid dle sections, anl at other points in the limits of those sections varied characters of. manufacturing in dnstrics will spring up.' The pe culiar character of the settlement of the State gave it a wild nomadic type which is fast passing away with the professional .horse-trader and the flat-boatman. There is a constantly increasing tendency to settlcdnc&s' and to improved and permanent "fixtures ' about the farms, and also comforts around the houses. -'' " 1 The great lack of the State is a community of interest between her different sections rind even between the pcople'in those sections; sep arated by the sreat wide mountain platcan, East Tennessee has al most nothing iii common with the reft of the State,, except the tics of one government. She ' needs less of the every roan and every section for itself feeling; this is passing away before tue opening up of new and quicker routes . of travel, and in a few more years, with her alining and manufactur ing resources properly improved she may excel any State in agri culture, which she alone can rival in stores of iron, coal, salt, and pe troieom. n. e. c.

Philadelphia Sunday Press. It seems a strange but neverthe less it is a true fact that there are many young ladies wh"o earn their livelihood by acting or posing as live lay figures for the art acade mic. At first glance it seems dread fully shocking and vulgar that j ladies should appear before a party of young men perfectly jiude. It is a queer mode of making money, but were it not for these ladies there would not be any of the fine ngnres which are christened Dianas and Venuses, but arc ouly such so far as the shape and comeliness of the subject goes. In conversation with a promi nent member of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, a reporter of the Sunday Press learned most strange things .concerning the world of art. He said that it was extremely difficult to obtain young ladies who would adopt this busi ness, and only upon the most sa cred promises that their individu ality would not be revealed d they ticca, saiu tne centlemau. "this I me ia co ntu viuorueu tuai. mere was one lady who appeared before our class at the old academy for four years Lefore I came to know who she was." These nude, live figures only ap pear before the life class of the academy for sketching. Formerly they came before the gentlemen alone, but in the new building both ladies and gentlemen will study together. No one except the mem bers of the class are ever admitted to the room where they are study ing from a figure, and only the best artists are taken into member ship in this mysterious body. The method of study pursued is some thing like the followiog: The lady proceeds to a room adjoining the class-room, especially adapted for her. At a given signal she ap pears before the assembled guests upon a platform, masked and shrouded in drapery. She is then placed in the proper position re quired for the study, and soon the deft handlers of the brush proceed to depict her form. She is NEVER ALI.OWED TO BE SPOKEN TO by any of the members of the class, and should any of the bold ones break this rule they are immediate ly and forever expelled. Indeed, the whole proceeding so soon assumes an air of business that the artists, according to their own statements, forget that the lady who is exposing her charms to their gaze is alive. Of course, there is a shock experienced by the newcomer in. the class the first time he is present at the meeting, but it soon wears off.' The ladies who follow this strange mode of procuring a living are in every instance respectable. They are generally led to it by the tempting offers of the ' ; t.ARGE PAT WHICH IS GIVEN. 1 ....i 11 c i ii... ai I for their work. Oftentimes ladies of wealth, who are proud of their ( harms, and whose vanity exceeds their prudence, act in this capa city for some skillful artist. In the celebrated picture of the '-Nine Muses,'' which created auclf a fu rore a few years since, the figures there represented were .of living subjects from different parts of the globe, one being reported to be tm. wife of a wealthy resident of New York, and another of a large mer chant of Chicago -. It is related of the Parisian ar tists that "they seem totally uncon scious of the presence of toe model until she is ready to leave, when they strain every nerve to ascer tain, if possible, who she is. Bu some of the bolder of these girls calmly sit down before the class and proceed to lace up their shoes with as much nonchalance as if she were . at . home. Very fortu nateiy, However, we nave not ar rived at that stage of shameless ness in Philadelphia.' - - Don't Scold. , Tn i -.',. r or tue saxe oi your emidren don't do it It is a great misfor tune to have children reared in the presence and under the influence of a scold. The effect of the ever lasting complaining and fault-find ing of 6nch persons is to make the young who hear it unamiable, ma licious, callous hearted, and they often learn to take pleasure in do ing the vary things for .which tbey reeeive such tongue-lashings. As they are always getting the blame of wrong-doing, whether they do it or not, they think they might as well do wrong as right They lose all ambition to strive for the favorable opinion of the fault -find r, since- they see: the-v always strive- ia -tain.

The editor of the Stockton (Cal.) Leader, who is a married lady, comes to the following conclusion: "It is time tins miserable statute which annihilates the individuality of a woman who becomes a wife was expunged from our law codes, and until then women should reso lutely set their will against mar riage. The Erie (Pa.) Dispatch relates the following instance of woman's power ot endurance: "A young woman, a few days since, walked from Warren to the Ri use Hospital, in this place, and asked admission. The Superintendent refused her. She then walked the same day six teen miles further, to Spring Creek, was delivered of a child when a'one, wrapped it in her apron, left it on the doorsteps of a citizen of the place, and walked on a distance of seven miles to Corry before day light the next morning. The girl is now working at a hotel in War tcr," ' .A London ' correspondent in speaking of the late lady Duff Gor don says she died six years ago at Cario and lies in the English ceme tery, leaving a memory behind her in Egypt such as no Englishwoman ever left there before. The Arabs called her "the great lady," and also Noor-ala-Noor, "light from the light;" and Mrs. Ross relates how, on visiting her mother, in 18G7, two years before she died, her name suf ficed to remove all the difficulties of travel; and such was the affec tion of the people for this remarka ble woman, that, on riding out, "some," says Mrs. Ross, "threw down their cloaks for my mother to ride over, while the women lifted the hem of her dress to ., their lips aad forehead." , Chinese Civilization. i Yesterday 1 lunched with some ladies and gentlemen who had passed some years in China. Af ter having all of my early beliefs destroyed in Pocahontas and other traditions, I ought not to have been startled when told that the Chinese do not buy and sell rats and pup pies for pies. I told the gentle man that in my earliest childhood I saw the picture in my geography of a Chinaman with a long pigtail, who had a panier across his should ers, from which were strung the rats and puppies - that he offered for sale, : They replied by saying , that my geography , lied.. Now, what can we' believe when dis credit is thrown upon our very school books? Moreover, I was told that we were very babies in civilization in comparison with I the Chinese. They had had it a thousand years ' before we were : born. In China they think noth ing of talking about things which are a thousand or twelve hundred years old. I was shown their pa per money, which is not as artistic as our greenbacks, but as highly colored as the inflationists would make ours. I think that clothes oi it would - adorn our so called rag baby, particularly if the penalty were the same in case of the failure of the banks they rep resented. In China if a bank fails, every one connected with the bank has his head cut off. Tho mob rush . in and destroy everything in the bank, and the building is torn down and the ground accursed. No building is ever allowed to De erected on theH 8 pot. There is a proclamation roaa to all the people who trusted in its honor, and they arc told what punishment has-been meted out to them, and others are warned from committing tbe same offense. if they are barbarians, then we are worse than barbarians, for our bankers not only do not forfeit their lives but they eenerally fare better than their .
