Tbe situatiOn in Tennessee.

The able Democratic editor of the Clarks-
vile Chronicle, reviews the situation with
his characteristic clearness of vision and
logic
We believe that every white man in Ten
nessee. of the proper age and residence. is
clearly entitled to the right of suffrage but
what practical good will follow the exer-
else Of that right on the dsy of election p
Supposing that no collision resulted from the
attempt, Browulow, clothed with legal au-
thority, would throw out such vote to the
extent required to give Grant majority
S1ch being the certain result, We think it
best to make no such attempt, but at the
same time. believe it important to exert all
the power Of argument aud persuasion to
induce registered voters TO cast their ballot
for the Democratic ticket. This course is
not only peaceable, but can not be plausibly
objected to by the most wanton tyranny
A victory won on this line of policy would
bring us invaluable results. while an over
wbelming majority of disputed votes would
be discarded as bogus by bogus Cover
nor, or unconstitutional Congress, and af-
forI pretext for additional cruelty for the
suppression of vile and pretended REBEL
ion.
But. say some. it is the policy of the Rad
icals to permit no plan, however Peaceable,
TO be successfully carried out, because 1t is
to their interest to get mp strife.
This is true but let US gain all the ad-
vantages to be derived from their wrong
and our efforts for peace, and if they make
it necessary for us to defend life or property
against lawless bands under the guise of
militia, then let US so bear ourselves as to
teach the banditti and their abettors that
hard blows are all they can extOrt from a
brave people-that loss of life is less ca
Iamity than the loss of liberty and honor.
Our platform is local endurance for the
sake of national victory, and nothing shall
drive US from this platform save the necee-
sity for defending life and property, and
when driven to this point by wantOn tyran-
ny in the interest Of mere party, then we are
for "war to the knife and the knife to the
! hilt." Tennessee can not, with her single
arm, successfully resist the march Of des-
potism, in the face ofan army equipped and
oficered IN the interest of tyrants and of de
facto governments organized in the same iu-
terests. Her only hope of deliverance lies
in the success of Democracy at the polls,
or in bloody revolution forced upon the
people by unrelenting tyranny. While thus
earnest for the fullest exercise of the right
Of self-defence against causeless aud mali
cious violence.

Whose Child.

Xenia. ILL.,, Aug. 5, 1868.-EdiLOr n. 0.
Crescent: wish through your paper the
following facts may be circulated /:
There is living in this county man who
has in his possession little girl about six
or seven years Of age, blue eyed, rather san
dy hair, which was stolen by Union sol
dier during the last year Of the war, some
where in the South. He brought her North
to this State, and his wife died. the not
having any children) the little girl fell into
hands of another person, who wishes her
proper parents to have her. Now, this fell
low says he got her while on picket in
Chattanooga, Tenn. Yet we are not in
elined to believe him, as he tells different
stories about it. The impression is he did
not take the child to relieve it from suffer-
ing, but he stole il from its parents, who
think the child dead. Now, sir, if you
will give this place in your paper, it may
be the means of relieving the hearts Of some
good and afectionate parents. The child is
here, and don't know her name in full, on
ly recollects that they called her Lucy Ann.
She says her pa went off with company
of men who had guns. Her ma was away
from home with her, and she was out play
ing, when this soldier picked her up and
brought her off, promising her to take heI
back. / am ever ready and willing to an
swer all inquiries which may be made.

A Beautiful Incident

A gentleman relates that many years ago
he was on a visit to the Isle of Man, and
during his walks he strolled into the quiet
churchyard, where repose the bodies Of
many a faithful and humble christian
Near grave in a corner of the churchyard
he noticed a lady with little girl 1.-THE lat
ter about twelve years Of age to whom she
was relating the story of the dairyman's
daughter, whose remains lay beneath their
feet. AS the lady proceeded in the narra-
tive, he observed the little girl lift up her
eyes filed with tears, and heard her say
that she wOulatry and be as good as the
dairyman's daughter had been. After
planting a beautiful lily on the grave, they
walked slowly away. The gentleman upon
making inquiry, found that the lady was
the Duchess Of Lent, and the little girl her
daughter. The latter is now Queen of
England.
