fR- Il is stated that one Of Gov. John
sons points against Col. Gentry, is the vote
Of the latter granting a pension TO the widow
of President Harrison. We are not much of
a Gentry man, and never have been or ex-
pect to be, but that vote was one of his acts
of which we heartily approve. If the Gov
ernor pulls that string when he gets into
East Tennessee, and continues to reiterate
the stale charge of Federalism against the
memory of Daniel Webster--a man who,
while living, never had an aspiration but for
his country's honor and glory, and in all that
goes to make up the Man, the Statesman,
and thePatriot,wus so infinitely superior to any
thing that ever entered into the conception of
Andrew Johnson--we say, If such are some
of tho points to be made by the present Co
vernon when he enters the Eastern Division
of the State, he will 60 out Of it with flea
in each ear and several up his trousers legs.
There are good many people in this section
who care but little how he handles his CON-
petitor, but who will promptly rebuke all
heartless assaults upon tho memory OF the
illustrious dead.

HARD TINES IN New YoRK.-There is
much suffering in New York, in consequence
of the exorbitant prices of provisions and
want Of work. Thousands of carpenters,
masons, tailors, painters and printers are out
of employment, with but little prospect of
obtaining work all summer. Many of these
are subsisting on actual charity. Some who
can find the means, by the sympathy or ex.
erton of friends, are leaving the city-while
others, less fortunate, are abandoning the
trade to which they have been brought up,
for whatever other sort of labor may turn up,
to Keep them and their families from starving.

A DREAM.
(foa rnr ATKINS posr,)

(FoR TnE ATHENS PosT)
had dream, which was not all dream.
The sun was just two hours high-or there
ab0uts-
And the turkey buzzards skinned the ETHEREAL
spaee
Just over head, preparatory TO going to roost.
The earth, and all the dust and dirt
Pertaining to that great and growing city
Which sits, like one we read of in the holy
Upon the hills, with its light shining abroad
And illuminating every nook and corner of the
land
Swung, as in days Of old, in the sunlit even
ing air.
Just such a dream,
Ye gods and little fishesl as men will often
have,
Who imbibe too freely at that poisonou, fount,
Which has its source, its constant ebb and flow.
In the broad basement Of the City's pride and
boast.
The sun was Just two hours high, methinks l
said,
And lay sleeping in a cool and pleasant
place,
In that stately house where COLEMAN caters
to epicurian taste
| thought heard the sound of many voices in
the street
A Babel-like confusion, such as once upon a
time
Greeted the democratic Chief by Erie's wave
washed shore
Men, wild with excitement, dashed to and
fro,
The women-God bless 'em always-clapped
their hands.
And young Africa scampered round like one
distraught
Or at whose heels closely pursues fierce yelp.
ing fee.
Anon, change came Ger the spirit Of my
dream,
A strange sight bursts upon the vista of my
gaze,
And deafening sound comes rushing o er the
hills
Now far away is seen pitchy cloud in fright
full eddies
Curl, while shout on shout is heard to break
upon the air,
AS the crowd rush quickly and cry
The cars are coming in
Right then the supper gong sent forth its
heathenish notes and | awoke just in time
to learn the cause of all this noise and con.
fusion" Had it been otherwise, Mr.. Editor,

OpD FELLOWS FEMALE CoLLEGE.-We
are pleased to see that the gentlemen who
has the contract for building the Odd Fellows
Female College, at this place, has started the
work, and we have the best reasons TO be-
lieve that he will have it up and completed at
an early day. We regard this as the most
important enterprise for Athens that has ever
been started, and we trust every effort will
be made to hasten the completion of the
buildings, and get the school into successful
operation. With the advantages of location,
health, &c, which Athens possesses over
any other town in East Tennessee, if the
proper efforts are made female school can
be built up here, not only credtable to the
Order under whose auspices it is to be, but
of immense advantage to the town and sur
rounding country. While other towns and
villages are devoting their energies (and laud,
ably, too,) to erecting manufactures Of va
rious kinds, gas works, &c, if we can sue.
coed in building up in our midst such institu-
tions of learning as are desired and contem-
plated by the projectors of the Odd Fellows
Female College, we shall accomplish much
greater degree of good for society and for
posterity, than we could hope for by the
achievement of any enterprise which proms-
ed mere accumulation of dollars and cents.

THE GuBERNAToRIAL CANVASS.

As many of our readers NAV Ike TO hear
how the Gubernatorial Canvass is progressing,
in the estimation of our brethren beyond the
mountain, We copy the following short article
on the subject from the Nashville Wing, Of
the 18th:
the Guberndtorial Cdnuass--Our infor-
nation from various parts of the State is of n
character highly encouraging TO the friends
of Col. Gentry, and Indicative of a glorious
triumph at the polls. Especially is this true
of the counties through which the candidates
have passed, and where their collisions In de-
bate before large and intelligent audiences,
have contributed 70 develope the actual but
hitherto rather dormant state Of popular SEN
timent. The bent and sympathy of the popu.
lar mind are evidently on the side of Gentry
and the American cause, and against Johnson
and his unauthorized interpretations upon the
Democratic creed, as well as his INDIGENOUS
anti-American ribaldry and yituperation. We
have not deemed it necessary to occupy our
columns to any great extent with frequent
accounts Of the discussions at various points,
involving, as they necessarily do, much Of
sameness or repetition. Suffice it to say, as
far as 'the signs" are yet developed, they are
bright and frightening" for a glorious tr-
umph in the election of Gentry and the defeat
of Johnson. Gentry's cause gains impetus and
force at every step. From Pulaski and Co.
lumbia. especially, we hear "glad tidiugs" in
connection with the accounts of the discus
sions. To instance only single point
Many independent, thinking men, now that
they have had time to reflect deliberately
upon the enormity of his "white basis" doc.
trine, and since he no,o boldly proclaims upon
the stump that by his election two years ago
it was endorsed in Tennessee, thus holding all
who vote for him responsible as endorsers of
his mischievous interpretations upon the
Democratic creed---we say, many independent,
thinking men, under these circumstances, on
this question, iepudiate at once the interpo.
laton and its heretical author, and avow un.
equivocally their determination to oppose his
reelection. Other instances we might men,
ton, in which his positions are obviously Mt
war with the popular sense of what is due to
public justice and propriety.
