Knoxvillb, Tehn., Sept. 21. President Hayes and party were met at Chattanooga by members of the Reception committee and arrived on a special train at 11:80 a. m. They were received at the depot by Mayor Carpenter and Percy Dickinson, Chairman of the committee of Reception, and entering carriages, were driven to the Lamar House, escorted by the Knoxville Rifles and a company of University cadets. The President occupied an open phaeton, drawn by four white horses, In which were Beated Mayor Carpenter, Peroy Dickinson, Chairman of the Reoeption committee, and Rev. Dr. Haws. The other members of the suite followed in carriages, with members of the Reception oommittee. The streets were densely jammed with people, eager to obtain a sight of the Chief Magistrate, and the shouts of welcome were loud and prolonged. As the proceBeion formed, University battery on Temperance Hill fired a Presidential salute of twentyone guns. The battery that fired the salute was in command of G. H. Bomar, late of the Confederate army, and Captain O. O. White, an ex-Federal officer. The former thus celebrated the sixteenth anniversary of his enlistment in the Confederate army. The march was a perfeot ovation, and it was with difficulty that the police could keep the way clear for the procession to pass, soeageny uiu w ,uiS.Mk tude press forward toward the carriages. The distinguished visitors alighted at it, entrance to the hotel, and pro ceeded thence to a platform in front, where au address of welcome was delivered by Rev. Thomas W. Humes, ia reply to whicn rresiaent xittyea nam ; "My Fbienes of js.Noxyii.Li: ahp East Tennessee: I congratulate you on the beautiful day, contrasting as it docs, bo greatly with the gloom of yesterday. I am glad to have heard the ad-dreeB of the distinguished gentleman to which we have jmt listened. You are entirely right in intimating that in the vast numbers that we see around us are united men of all political parties, and that the first point in the welcome is that it is respect for the office which for iv,q t mi belca it is my iortuue to occupy. This multitude have assembled to show respect to the office of Chief Magistrate of the country, s,nd tp exhibit their patriotism to the Nation, to the laws and the Constitution.

When a committee comes to me of work' inomen I am glad to receive them; if a committee of colored.men, I . iho sums feolinas for them: if Dem ocrats, I give the same attention to them, and with Republicans it is tha same, for we believe that the Government of the Tiiiiorl States ouirht to reeard alike the rights and interests of all sections of the country, ana mat me niaue wruveruuicui, .. well an the National Goyernsient, should regard alike equally the rights and intereats ot an races or men.

Grant, accompanied by the Mayor of .Newcastle, Ueneral iSadeau, Mr. fair- child, United States Consul at Newcastle and others, visited the Exchange and other places of interest in Newcastle. ihere were numerous banners along tne route and large crowds of spectators. In the Exchange General Grant received an addrees from the Chamber of Commerce, and replying, thanked the large and en- tbusiatlic audience for its kind recep tion, which waa highly gratifying to him and the American people, who would ac cept it as a token of kind friendship between the two nations, lie could not say the two peoples, for they were really one, having a common destiny, which would be brilliant in proportion to their friendship. He referred to the honorable settlement of all differences between England and America, and Baid they ought not only to keep peace with each other, but with all the world, and by their example stop the wars which are now devastating Europe. The speech was loudly oheered.

A correspondent, who was present at the battle of Plevna, telegraphing from Bucharest, September 17, says : The RuBso-Roumanian army has abandoned even a pretense of prosecuting tltf attempt against Plevna, and have fallen back Into the positions occupied before the commencement of the bombardment. The field artillery remains still in Borne of tb positions of the bombardment. It is announced that a third re oewal is intended qn the arrival of the Imperial guard in a fortnight. I have rreat doubt whether another attempt will be made and very much stronger doubt whether, if made, it can succeed. The Turks are better Boldiers undoubtedly thin tha Itussians. u, that, after seeing' not a few battles, I Btand assured, rne strategy oi now perhaps is equally bad, but as regards both major and minor tactics, the Turks are simgly immeasurably superior. They are better armed than the Russians, both in great and small arms. They have engineers who oan design admirable defen sive positions. The Russian engineers seem incapable of repairing a hole in a bridce. The Turus esem ac Weil provi sioned as the Russians and are pushed with success. The Russians are depressed by failure after failure; nor is this all that impairs the Russian sol dier's dash. That it is becoming lmpair- mv reluotant personal observation of ths'war can testify, and that there is no braver man than the Russian soldier; but a brave Boldier can not continually face more than fair chances of war. Russia is called on to face these and dangers in ad dition, iffhirQ appear withinhmtely greater intensity'of horror to his imagination. lis knows that u ne uut receives a uunsi in the ankle joint, when he is in front of an unsuccessful attaok, the chances are that he will die a death of torture, humiliation and mutilation, No moral rnnrin. no mental hardihood can stand against this horrible consciousness, and in the attack cf the 11th instant, I distinctly observed his' reluctant to begin tho storming.

Sir. MterJIil's Address before Ohio Editorial Association. itae The address of Hon. Joseph Medill, of the Chioago Tribune, before the Ohio Editors' and Publishers' Association, at Toledo yesterday, was largely devoted to matters of history, and was interesting throughout. Following is a chapter on journalistic education, taken from the addresB ; Why bare not Yale or Harvard, Cornell or Ann Arbor, Princeton or Oberiln, a De-Dartment of Editorship? No profession is more attractive to bright, ambitious youog men with tastes for statecraft and public questions. How are they to prepare themselves for the journalistic vocation ? The instruction received at college, while ustful and beneficial, is wholly inadequate to quali fy a young man to held a position on an ditorial staff, si thousands have diicovtrsd HATS!

Sen'aa ltaw S 4t lp to their sorrow and mortification who have sought such positions. A young man entering college and intending to be an editor is never taught a journalistic curriculum; he is never told what studies to take: what he should learn, and what he may omit. He is not set to discussing with the pea and reading up on public questions. He is not taught the art of condensation, of saying much in little space, and saying it attractively and persuasively; of vanquishing an opponent in a leader bristling with facts or turning the laugh on htm by an epigram. Take a college graduate into a newspaper office and set him at work, and he doesn't know where to begin or bow to proceed. He is posted on scarcely any of the subjects that must be discussed. Doubtful if he even knows bow to punctuate his own sentences, much less to mark his "proof." He doesn't know the name of a type in the office, nor a process in the business. He muet either commence as a reporter (and he generally fails at it) or abandon the newspaper business. He takes a desk supposing that he is capable of writing an ezhaustless series of suitable articles, and finds himself pumped dry in a week. Be has not been taught even the rudiments of the trade, and the poor fellow gives tip his chair in chagrin and despair; yet be may be possessed of an ample amount of brains and the right mental structure to make a brilliant or successful editor if he had received the proper training at college to fit him for his work, Why is there not a professor in every great school of learning to teach those things which pel tain to editorial discussion? Why are not special classes instructed in newspaper subjects and the questions underlying the poliucB, business, and social lite ot the country, and all the matters essential to bs known in the editor s room about the lousiness of journalism ? There is always a newspaper demand lor ready writers, for young men who are fairly posted up in tne topics ot the day, who are fluent with the pen, who know how to ' hit birds on the wing:" long range rest shoot ing doesn't answer for daily newspapers. The srjpply for this demand has heretofore in this country been largely filled from the ranks of the printing office apprentices who have grown up with the concern and have teen promoted irom one class 01 worn to another. But the drawback in such case is that the young men have never had an education, and the lack of it hampers and crip ples them through lite. There are many notable instances of young lawyers with good educations Quitting the Bar and taking charge of country papers, and there "break ing in ineir nand ana acquiring tne rudiments of the editorial profession, who afterward advanced to daily journalism and made their effort successful. Not infrequently college graduates begin in the same way and "wont up, ana sometimes Bachelors ot Art" strike boldly lor a chair in a "daily" sanctum and, by tact, application, and native talent, speedily mount high in the ranks of the profession; but Oh, how many have failed I In these various ways tne rants 01 journalism are supplied, nut I cannot help thinking how much good would be done to tbe profession if tbere were training schools, or. rather, a department set apart in the great colleges for the special instruction of students in composition, discus sion, and criticism, and for the acquisition of niiuvTieugo auu luiui Lua.iuu luuueruiug tue sunjecis eaoraceu wunin tue range ot popu lar government. Hince newspapers have become of universal circulation, and consequently are the chief medium for the dissemination of intelligence and ideas, a higher standard ot editorship ib required. An instructor must understand his subject; a critic must be sole to criticise and do it successfully; and an editor must be abla to cope with the strongest of his correspondents on matters with winch they are familiar, and upon all general topics. Effrontery of atjsjertion will not hide poverty ot mtprrflauon; vituperation win not do bs cepied as a substitutefor argument; defamation of rival editors may gratify vindic tive feelings, but the better class of readers are neither earned nor amused thereat, In the . survival of the fittest the fish- markat aty ie will not secure perr.etual ex iatence. Editors who are well stocked with facts and useful information have little need of filling their columns with coarse abuse of their opponents, which when much indulged in is a sure sign of feebleness of ideas and paucity ot Knowledge. Men will exhibit sneer at times tn anv calling; but continual indulgence in slang-whang personalities is destructive of popular respect, and is in jurious both to the business aud reputation ut tne euuor wno practices . witn tne increase of power tliere should be an in crease of d'.gnity in the conduct of the press. '1'lie growth ot the press in power and in' fluence during the last twentvfive vears in this country has excited tbe apprehensions ot Borne classes, or rRther persons ot classes, Manv politicians, cilice-holders and office- seekers declare that it is becoming dictatorial ana overbearing, and 13 wielding a danger ous'inBuence among the people. This feel. ing is inspired by jealousy and resentment, Tbe press interferes with slates, and rro. grammes, and selfish a.ms and aspirations, and hence theia tears and fears. But there is no ground for the belief that the interests of the people win ever be harmed by any in, fluence the press may acquire, for the sufficient reason that tbe press is never united n l.al.olf anrr Aia,xtA nainn Will. the press there are always two sides to every proposition, and every cause has us advo cates and opponents among the newspapers, Upon all politicil. social, aud economical questions they are divided, precisely as the comuiuuuy 13 uiviucu. vc4y party, iac tion, or ism nas newspapers to champion it cause. In this inevitable and perpetual dif ference among the newspapers lies the safety 01 the pumic irom undue or Injurious jour nalistic influence. The press is vastly more in danger of weakening or losing its hold on public conbjence uy committing ex cesses and tollies, and pandering es some of them do to licentious elements, than any rights or liberties are in jeopardy from any combination of the newspapers against them. Let it be tbe ambition ot every ed' itor to contribute toward elevating tbe tone and standard of journalism; to make the profession more honorable as well as useful; tostrve tbe people.bslter; to combat prof, ligacv and corruption more relentlessly; and to do their whole duty to society and emulation more tearlessty and effectually.
