Madame Delachamps
ALONE IN A MOUNTAIN GORGE (!

Snugly enccSesd amid the wiids of one
of the Middle States, lived Madame Della
champs, many years ago, with no known
protector, save faithful dog that ever
stood beside her to defend In time of need.
Her small. moss-covered cabin, wrapped
with the wild-rose and honeysuckle, APP
peared hid away by cluster OF under
growth, and closely environed on the north
and cas-, by deep, craggy ravine that led
away back TO the mountain gorge.
Here, sntfting the ambient air, waited
nom natures green sward clinging TO the
mountain side. bathing her brow In early
morn's gentle dcw.drop, she lived solitary
aud alone for many long years. The cats-
mounts unearthly midnight yell, and the
wolTs doleful howl. frequently aroused
her from pleasant midnight slumbcrs.
Now and then she would emerge from
her unknown home and mingle with the
inhabitants around about for one or two
months at time. She was eccentric in
her acts, and all viewed her as living GU
riosity.
While from home. she apparently had
but one object, and that was the relief OF
her afflicted sex. Under n belt on her left
side, could be seen an old fashioned dirk
OF considerable size, carried for her own
protection, while strapped across her
shoulder was suspended q curious sack
made from the
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1870-11-12
THE ELECTION.

We are at loss for words to express,
adequately, our surprise and mortifi-
cation. ut the result Of the election,
on Tuesday, in town and country,
and the only comfort we can iindr Is
I'm the knowledge that this Office did
its duty, individually and collective
Ty. When the bulk of the people
were DISTINGUISHED, we heard, at every
corner, curses, loud and deep against
. the tyranny which denied them the
high privilege of voting; now when
that privilege is freely accorded to
all, there are hundreds who rate Ii so
low that they will not put on a clean
shirt, or ride mile to exercise 1t.
Such conduct is whitening satire
upon the theory of self-government;
it is an indelible stigma upon town
and county, n disgrace to the State,
and Fastening forward the day when
no gentleman of talents and moral
worth, will suffer his name to go before
II people who have not respect enough
for him, for themselves and for the
government under which they live,
TO elevate him far above the candi-
date of the Radical rabble whose only
hope of election Is In the criminal
Indifference of those who should pride
themselves upon devotion to the
welfare and honor of the country
Our candidate for the Legislature,
we suppose, is elected; but, over
whom and by what majority? No
man who failed to vote can, we feel
assured, ask himself this question
without feeling his cheeks tingle with
the blush of shame, whilst his con-
science reproach him with utter dis
regard Of most solemn duty.
Some didn't know there was to be
an election, though every negro in
the county knew it; some didn't
think of it until too late, and Others
didn't care d--n who might be cleo
ed. Such is the material upon which
patriotism POUNDS its hopes of enlight-
cnetl and honest administration of
The government and to which the
statesman looks for the preservation
cf constitutional liberty.
But as we cannot do justice to this
subject without becoming profane,
We shall conclude with the pathetic
exclamation OF the Dutch potion
Nell!

College; was in our city last week.
He preached in the lst Presbyterian
Church. He is an able aud eloquent
preacher. The Stewart College has
done good thing to get such man
for its President. AT the request OF
the pastor, DIR. Shearer made II state
ment of the present condition and
prospect Of the College over which he
presides. His statement was very
gratifying to the friends Of that Insti-
tuition. The College has an able and
efficient faculty, every member OF
which is graduate Of the University
ofVirginia. Its prospects are very en-
couraging. 1t has pupils from the
States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Texas. This College is located in
Clarksville, Tennessee. The aim OF
the faculty is to give n thorough and
liberal education, The Physical
sciences will receive that special at
tention which is demanded by the
spirit of the times. All the faculty
are in the prime of life, and they
mean work, and they are able, and
intend to do good work. They will
receive such material rs come to theil
hands, and in due time makethe very
best Of it possible. Those who have
