Letter from Horace Greeley on the
Presidency.

A dispatch from Leavenworth,
Kansas, dated May 20, says the Times
has published the following cores
pondence:
LEAvENwoRrH, Kansas, April 20, 1871
Hon Horace Greeley:
DEAR SIR-Your many friends in Kansas
desire to have your views in relation 10 your
name being brought before the next National
Republican Convention in 1872, for the nomi-
nation of President. Without any disrespect
to General Grant, we believe that no living
American statesman has the claim of Yourself
for President.
Very respectfully, your friend,
VIM. LARMoRE.
REPLY.
New York TRIBUNE OFFICE
NEW YORK, May 4, 1871. !
My DEAR SIR-I have yours of April %,
asking pointed questions with regard to our
political future. / must respond in great
haste. trust never henceforth TO be an aspi-
rant for any office or political position what
ever, but fully purpose never TO decline any
duty or responsibility my political friends
may see fit to devolve upon me, and of which
shall be able to fulfill the obligations with
out neglecting other and more important duties
have not yet formed decided opinion as to
the man who ought to be the next Republican
candidate for President but it seems to me adj
visable that he should be steadfast, constant
believer in the good old doctrine of one Pre- 81
dental term. Yours,
HeRAcE GREELEY.
The Times remarks: "Mr. Gree
ley has many warm friends in Kan.
sas. In the southwestern part of the
State, Greeley clubs are already be-
ing organized. The letter itself was
evidently written for publication,
and places Mr.. Greeley squarely be-
fore the people as candidate for the
Presidency"

Louisville Sunday School Convention,

On Sunday last the Sabbath Schools in
and near this place held a district Sunday
School Convention. 1t was one Of the
best meetings in the interest of Sunday
Schools we have ever had in this county.
Mr.. Faulkner, of Louisville, was called to
preside over the Convention.
After singing and prayer by Mr.. knight,
of Knoxville, there were offered for debate
some six or eight questions, all bearing
upon the Sunday School cause. What
are the duties of Sunday School teachers ?n
"How can Bible classes be most protitably
cOnducted?" and so on. All these sub
jects were ably and pleasantly discussed.
One very pleasing feature of these long
debates was that none could tell Meth
odist from Presbyterian, and so
of the other churches represented in the
Convention. We saw some of the colored
citizens present, who seemed to enjoy the
proceedings, and no sign of political dis
cord was apparent. The whole affair was
one Of brotherly love and Sunday-school
zeal
The first and second sessions were con-
fined to the Convention proper. The
night meeting was more of Sunday
school celebration, with the children pres
ent to perform several musical pieces;
many gentlemen made short speeches on
voluntary subjects, and all in good spirit
and with edifying effect. Much good
must follow their interesting sessions.

From BlOunt County.

There has been a prOtracted season OF
drought throughout this county, III conse-
quence of which the corn crop Will be
light. On last Tuesday there were heavy
rains along Little River, butthe advantage
to the corn will be small. think, how
ever, that there may be asufticiency mace.
Potatoes are promising. The season lor
planting turnips is at hand, and every
body is busy preparing and sowing their
patches. Some seeds of a new variety
the Ruta Baga-have been distributed here
and there through the county by Dr.
Breaker, of Rockford, with a view to test
ing their adaptation to our soil and ell
mate. This turnip is quite superior to any
Of the varieties sown here, and grows bOth
north and south of US.
Our al''-Maryville-is growing
rapidly. The prospect of the completion
of the Charleston railroad has quite an
encouraging effect upon our people !;
though some are quite doubtful of the
prOpriety of altering the gauge. 1t does
seem that road of such Importance as
this ought not to be reduced to what is
sometimes called q zone horse" style.
However, we shall see what we shall see /;
and we would rather have a wheelbarrow
10 go through than not to have any com
Dlunication. So if you want your mar
row gauge" used send it along.
The anti-tobaccO movement is making
good progress in Blount. A thoroughly
organized society is at work at Rockford,
and another is soon to be started at Mary
vile. Doubtless the influence will extend
to the country, and we may hope to see
tobacco patches give way to something
more useful. The money saved by quit
ting tobacco would enable the people to do
many things which they can not do at
present. 1t will be sure to help the paper
men, and you ought to favor it.
The CHRoNICLEis growing in favor here.
We like the way you have treated the
Catholic question. All that is necessary Is
to let the people know what they have to
deal with, and there is no danger Mark
what tell you, Catholic rule UM neUcr be
established IN America! t! THERE'S no doubt
that it will be tried but it never can sue
ceed. l mean, of course, if the masses are
made to understand what Catholicism is.
And they will learn if they read the
CHRONICLE. SO keep it going, and when
the wheels need "greaslng" let us know.

Experts Report on the Westfleld Disaster,

The report of the board of experts who
have been examining into the cause of the
Westtield disaster, says that after thor
eughly testing the steam gauge, it was dis
covered that in no place did it indicate less
than the true pressure. The safety valve,
however, at one test blew off freely at
twenty-four pounds pressure. At other
at tests twenty-seven and twenty eight
pounds The lookup valve blew off at
twelve pounds by the mercury gauge, show
ing either that the scale had been laid out
originally incorrectly, or that the valve
had become less sensitive by oxidation or
distortion of the parts. Tests of the six
specimens of iron taken from the boiler
showed average strength with the grain Of
45, ,079 pounds per square inch, and across
the grainI40, ,934 lbs.
The experts, in testimony given after
the presentation of their report, express
the belief that the cause of the explosion
was an old defect in the boiler, which Mr..
Fletcher, of the board, said was started by
the tools of the wOrkmen when the boiler
was made. and had been increasing up to
the time of the explosion. Mr. Vanderbilt
testified that the primary cause of the
Westfield explosion was an old defect in
the boiler. He thought the pressure at the
time of the explosion exceeded q pounds,
and that the steam gauge would have been
seen to indicate greater amount had any
one noticed it. The boiler contained plen-
ty of water.

4 Suggestion.

We need water works here we need them
badly; our citizens are suffering for tho want of
them. Knoxville is fast approaching to the
rank of frst-class city, but will never occupy
q prominent position without water works
Now the question is how can we get them? 1t
takes money to get them, but where is the
money to come from? AYE, there is the rub u
Now, an idea strikes me. In almost
every place in the United States they are get
ting up gift enterprises for various purposes.
Memphis has one to build an opera house,
Louisville, KY, is getting up one on a large
scale to establish public library, &C.
l venture to say that hundreds, aye, thous-
ands of dollars worth of tickets are sold
throughout East Tennessee for these concerns.
Why send that money away? If our citizens
want to try their luck, give them chance to
try it at home and let the community, at least,
reap some benefit Of it. Let us get up con-
Germ of thatkind here in this city; we have
enough of talent in this city II it can all be
secured and united under good leadership, and
no doubt they are willing to render their assist
ance. We have also plenty of real estate in
the market, few pianos, cabinet organs. etc.
which can be got.
Let US get it up and donate the profits of the
enterprise to the city for the purpose of erect
ing water works What say you to it?

How Wheat fa Threshed.

A rural correspondent sends the following
graphic description of how wheat is threshed in
bis section:
Wheat threshing in the country is lively
business. The way it happened is this: we
know, about . day before hand, when our turn
will come, and the interval is spent in asking in
help, or in other words, raising the neighbor-
hood" 1t takes about fifteen hands to wait on
one machine, sll pitching bundles, cutting the
binds, feeding the machine forking straw and
rushing lively. Everybody comes-men, wo-
men and chidren-for two miles around. The
men work, the women prepare dinner, and the
children peep through the cracks of the fence
at the terrible machine The buxom misses
wait on all concerned with cool water, cider,
fruit and such like refreshments during the
work storm, and at dinner time they stand
around big table on the farmers long porch
and help the men and boys to chicken pie"
The threshing machine man is looked upon
as big trump, and it is always insisted that
he eat hearty and drink two cups of coffee, -
If night finds the crop unfinished the boys all
romp around through the orchards and water
melon patches until bedtime and then they
burrow into straw stack and sleep till morn
ing. That's the way it's done.

Around whose hoar and mighty head
Still rolrd sea of golden red,
While troops of clouds space below
Were drifting wearily and slow,
As seeking shelter for the night,
Like weary sea-birds in their fight;
Then curved her right arm gracefully
Above her brow, and bow her knee,
And chsnted in an unknown tongue
Words sweeter than were ever sung.
And what means thisp' l gently said

And he is good and all is we'll.

Her eyes were like the rabbits eyes,
Her mien, her manner, just as mild,
And though q savage war-chiefs child,
She would not harm the lowliest worm.
And though her beaded foot was firm,
And though her airy step was true,
She would not crush drop of dew.
Her love was deeper than the sea
And stronger than the tidal rise,
And clung in all its strength to me.
A face like hers is never seen
This side the gates of Paridise
Save in some oriental dream,
And then none ever sees it twice
Is seen but once, and seen no more,
Seen but to tempt the skeptic soul
