One of our Massachusetts, exchanges tells
good story of a jolly fellow who, on the
"Glorious Fourth" passing along the streets
of Springfield, in that State, saw The incrip-
ton "B. K. Bliss, Apothecary,' neatly CHS
eled on a marble slab in the centre of the
sidewalk. Stepping reverently over the
stone, he turned round, and reading slowly,
'B K. Bliss, Apoplexy," exclaimed, "Apo-

OVERLAND MAlL.-The papers below say
that Haworth, President of the California
Stage Company, offers te carry daily mail
from Sacramento to st. Louis in twelve
days, for one million dollars per annum. IF
he can and will do it, he ought to be allowed
to. The money now expended on the three
overland and one ocean mail routes would
more than pay what he asks. Give US the
daily overland mail and a sufficient number
of passenger coaches, with military stations
and a telegraph along the route, and we can
afford to wait for the Pacific railroad until
capitalists are ready to build it without ask
ing the State to incur an immense debt for
their assistance. In the meantime, let us
send all our correspondence the overland
mails now running, as the most efectual
argument in favor of their improvement.

SArIsFAcrIoN.-Judge Miller of Trinity
county had q difficulty with Mr.. Watson,
and the latter challenged him. He would
not receive the challenge alleging that Wat
son was no gentleman; whereupon Watson's
second, Gallagher, late District Attorney of
the same county, gave him peremptory
challenge which was accepted, and the par
ties exchanged one shot at sunrise, on last
Monday morning, near Shasta. Judge Mil
Ter was satisfied" by receiving wound in
both legs, just below the knees. The prin-
cipais then shook hands. The Sheriff was
just near enough to hear the shots. He ar
rested Gallagher and his seconds, but after
wards released them. What precious farce
is the duello, were it not sometimes bloody
and always subversive of law.

For the Chronicle.


Mn. EDiroR.--Since the country is all agog upon
the subject of Internal improvements, permit me
to suggest an improvement greatly needed by the
citizens of Bartons' Creek, Indian Creek the head
waters of East Fork of Yellow Creek; and William
son Creek and indeed all that region Of country
lying between Bartons Creek and yellow Creek, ex-
tending considerable distance into Dickson county.
The region of country, of which speak, is well
adapted to the culture of Wheat, and Tobacco, and
IL the citizens had any reasonable convenience of
getting their produce to Clarksville, they would
cultivate these staples extensively and GAINESVILLE
would be greatly benefited.
This section of country has for a number of
years, been engaged in manufacturing iron, which
has afforded the citizens ample use for their labor
in working at the Iron-works, and in raising corn,
oats, &c, for the supply Of the several establish
ments; but nearly all of said works hnss been COM
PEELED to suspend, in consequence of having ex-
hausted the timber, and so the people must now
look to other pursuits for wealth in this region and
if they can meet with liberal aid from the citizens
of GAINESVILLE, in giving them good road for the
transportation of their Wheat and Tobacco have
no doubt but they would go to work in earnest.
As to the location of said road, would suggest
that there is a ridge extending from point on the
Cumberland for fifteen or twenty miles out toward:
Dickson county. This ridge runs South, between
the waters of Bartons Creek and Yellow Creek, ant
if road were located on this ridge, it would answer
admirably the citizens living on each Creek.
This ridge approaches Cumberland with very
gentle decent to what is called "Flat Rock" oppo
site the farm of Mrs. A.. Martin. By throwing N
an embankmcnt from the River Bank, across tn
bottom for some two OF three hundred yards, i
would give us road to GAINESVILLE passable at al
stages of water which is very much to be desired
BY raising the material from each side of the EN-
bankment II would entirely drain the pond through
which it is proposed to run the road, and make tn
, land more valuable.
; From this point am willing that the road
laid out by the citizens of Carsville to suit them
selves, and the persons over whose land the roa
win pass.
Now will the people of GAINESVILLE build a roa
} to the river, at the point specified? Shall it be
McAdamised road dirt pike, or a common coun
: try road2 The people on the South side will NEE
you, and will be governed as to the quality of tn
9 road, by your determination. You may hear froi
me again. BARTONS CREEK.

ma. Our neighbor hits at us frequently,
this week but as none of his blows are
hard enough toSinduce a return, we let
them go for what they are worth, only
asking him to read the following from the
Washington Union, and tell us which says
the hardest things of the democracy-the
Union or we; and if the former is right
so are we. How is it, neighbor?
"Ambitious combinations are the curse of the
Democratic party. They have tainted lis integrity
demoralized it, weakened il and rendered it doubt
full antagonist against the open enemies of thu
Union. They have stricken down and degraded al
broad, liberal, comprehensive craftsmanship. They
have substituted the miserable DEGREES of deagogue
for those great principles under which alone the in
dustry of our country can he developed
They great with independent poitica
estates and expectations. We have too many o

sa- We beg leave to remind the dele
gates, from Robertson and Montgomery,
to the Dover Convention, that the day is
near at hand, and we hope that a goodly
number, from both counties, will be in at
tendance. 1t is an important occasion,
and its bearings upon the success of the
opposition, in the Senatorial District, will
take their direction from the manner in
which the delegates acquit themselves
Who they may nominate, is not of so much
Importance as how he is nominated; and
to give satisfaction, the Convention should
be full as we'll as harmonious. Let nc
consideration of mere personal convenience
keep back any delegate, and let no one
say there will be enough without him
and, therefore, he will stay at home.

Thoughts at Sunset.
Z. HAYES h co.
Wheeling, Va, april 1859.

Resplendent orb I now am standing
Where, in childhood, Oft stood,
Gazing on thee gently sinking
Meath that old familiar wood.
Yes thy beams are now encircling
Her who, when happy child,
On this dear spot oft watched thy parting,
And then the approach of twilight mild.
That beauteous hour, more lovely far
Than fair Aurora's brightest ray,
Or cen thy most refulgent CLEANS,
Proud sun, which gid the noon of day.
Ali years have passed since from here I viewet
Thy rays retrcating, deck yon sky
And the scene, whiting my mind awakens
Thoughts which fain in the past would lie,
But memory, as now, oft calls them forth
From the hidden depths of my inner heart,
When, like thee some familiar object
To her silent voice tone irhparts.
This, this, is my.childhoods home
And each object, on which gaze,
But adds to memory sadder tone
As think of by gone days.
Oh as thy glittering form, bright sun,
This morn yon sky did light,
Zen so fair as in the morn of life"
Do hopes glad rays shine bright
And while watch thy gorgeous beams,
Thus sinking fast away,
Just So we watch our brightest hopes
Go down, in life's brief day.
ODESSA.
