iH' =" Now Year Carol.
Como with US and greeting give
To every soul we meet-
Up and down, where the wealthy live,
And through the rneanest street.
Give God-speed to both high and low,
HAPPY NEW YEARl far and near;
Pass BY no door, as on we 60,
With holy words of cheer.
Once every year, in winter time,
When cen the cum looks wan,
Tho spirit hears heavenly chime,
Which winters breath watts on.
Through many hundred years twas heard,
Sustaining hopes sublime;
Ana mid the centuries bore the word
Which conquers woe and crime.
This echo Of the angels song,
Who hailed tho Prince Of Pence
BY myriad minstrels borne along
through time, shall never cease.
But, as it floats on tireless wings,
Through all the coming years.
AND etill the glorious tidings brings
To him who willing hears.
The naughty kingdoms of this world
10 Christ shall bend the knee;
And when their banners low are furled,
Shall float his banner free.
But ahl not. yet has como the time
or such millenial bliss;
We only listen to the chino
Which ushers days like this;
And strive, az life goes on, to win,
Mid daily cares, some CLEANS
Ofregtful happiness, akin
TO beati6c dreams.
Yet happiness is not for those
Who labor to- be gay
Who, seeking pleasure, lack reposo,
70 strengthen on the way;
And when temptation beckons them
To acte Of doubtful worth,
They, pnresiating, cease to stem
The tide Of Iawless mirth,
To float away. amid the foam
or wild excitement's waves,
Forgetful OF the oaims of home,
And oil the pure heart Graves.

With duties for US all,
When each .inpon lis tread-mill cast,

mon insist that it is undignified to advertise

too widely difiused-- that tho means OF pro-
tecting and restoring health should be close

placed as city on hill, whore all men can
take cognizance Of it. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that the Bltters have been advertised and
continue to be advertised in every newspaper

phere, and that the spontaneous testimonials
in it's, favor have been translated into nll

.rMpRoyINe RIVER NAVIGATION.

The recent action Of the National Com
ercial Convention at Baltimore on the
subject of improving navigation on South
ern streams, will meet with q hearty re-
Spouse from every man who desires the
welfare of this section of the country.
There is nothing that would add more ma
terially to the wealth of our own State,
and especially to East Tennessee, than the
improvement of river navigation. No
thing would tend with greater certainty
to the full development of our natural re-
sources, mineral and agricultural, than an
increase of the facilities for cheap transpor-
tation. We gave list, some time ago, of
twenty navigable rivers in East Tennes-
see. These flow out into the Holston and
Tennessee valleys from the North and the
South, penetrating almost every county in
this end of the State. Suppose q few thou
sand dollars were expended in removing
distractions from each one of them, and
what an improvement would follow! Who
can calculate the impetus that would be
given to trade all through the rich country
through which they pass? Where they
now produce hundreds of dollars they
would produce thousands. Our population
would increase and multiply rapidly. Our
coal fields would be worked much more
extensively. Then this cheap moe of
transportation would render ..rIe buildino
OF hundred vIast furnaces practicable,
and roilinS Mills nils md machine shops would
go up everywhere. The increase Of wealth
would increase public demands, and where
we now have an outlet in only two direc-
tons, railroads would run out in all direc-
tons, affirming us a rapid communication
with all the markets of the country.
We do not contend that the improve
ment of river navigation would bring
about all these results, but we do think
that nothing else would contribute so
largely to this desirable end We trust
Congress will give the subject a careful
patient and impartial consideration. If
nothing else can be done for. the present.
let us have surveys any way. Let the
country know how much it will cost to
make such important improvements. The
country has already expended millions i'm
improving rivers, and where it has been
done iudiciously, the outlay has paid large
~. The experience of the past iustifies
the people in endorsing such policy, and
they do endorse itfully. That a liberal an
preparation by Congress in the improve
ment of Southern rivers would be sound
policy, and that it would be a good invest
ment, we firmly believe, and trust the ex
pertinent will be made. 1t is not, in our
mere experiment, but an invest
ment, the wisdom of which can be demou-
'trated to mathematical certainty.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1871-10-11
WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.

We have looked in vain in East Tennes-
see Democratic papers of respectability for
an endorsement Of the action of the Sem
ate in the election of Gen. Vaughn. The
Greeneville Sentinel speaks of the matter
in this style:
" We dc not know Hessrs. Tharpe and War
rem, but on general principles suppose they were
not qualified. e., were not Rebel Generals
during the late war. This seems to be the
standard of merit and qualification adopted by
the major part of the Democratic party of Ten
nessee.n
Messrs. Tharpe and Warren will be re
membered as his opponents in the contest,
though, on the final ballot, Mr.. Warren,
from West Tennessee, who, if we mistake
not, was in the Federal army, was his only
opponent. After speaking further of the
reasons that led to DIR. Sewers nomina-
ton, and of his popularity with all classes
and parties, the Sentinel adds further:
" But after the first ballot his name was with
drawn, because his name was not Rebel General
ScYler, instead of DIR. Sewer, Union man. and
therefore, unfit for the Office and Rebel Gem
eral, for whom can not be claimed superior
qualifications, received the call, come up high
er."
Remember, the Sentinel is a Democratic
paper. 1t goes on to say:
" We say the election of Gen. Vaughn over
DR.. Sewer Is unfortunate, and would prove dis
astrous in the next Congressional election in
this District, where Gen Vaughn officiated
during the war and is so extremely odious to
that part Of the Democracy who were Union
men during the war, if they believe that that
part OF the Democracy of this District who were
/ Rebels endorsed this election
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1871-10-11
THE UNION MEN AND DEMOCRACY.

We have repeatedly found it necessary
to call the attention of the Union men in
| Tennessee, who have been acting with the
Democratic party to the folly of supposing
that they would ever, even in q remote de-
gree, be able to moderate or influence that
party in its policy. 1t is in the clutches of
the extreme secession wing of the party
and Conservative Union men who have
hoped to be taken into its councils,
or to help shape its policy are very much
mistaken as to the purpose or spirit Iof
their associates. Local elections have
taught that lesson plainly to the Nelson's,
Crawtords, and Others in our county, who
have been acting under the delusion refer
red to. In other elections and delibera-
tons the Gauts, BaXters and Etheridges
have found that they were not wanted any
longer after they had aided in striking
from the disfranchised their shackles. The
convention that nominated Brown for
Governor was fifty denominated a reunion
of Hoods old army.
Now the Legislature just assembled gives
proof that the extreme element referred to
has not yet been satisfied. In the organic
cation of that body, DIR. w. r. Sewer and
Gen. John G. Vaughn, Senators from East
Tennessee, We're opponents for the same
office-Speaker. DIR. Sewer has been q
strong Conservative and is man of fine
capacity ana liberal Ideas. He was fitted
for the high position, while it is notorious
that his competitor is not. If DIR. Sewer
had worn the grey during the war he
would certainly have been chosen.
But in the election merit was evidently
not the test. The Democracy of Tennes-
see needed the Union men when they were
disfranchised and then they were profuse
in their promises and demonstrative In their
affection. But now, that they are no
longer dependent upon them, they do not
propose to have anything to do with them.
Their advice is not sought, their votes are
not needed, and they are told as plain
as actions can express 1t, that they are no
longer wanted. How long will they con-
tinue to eat humble pie for such men as
Vaughn?
How long will they remain in a party
with which they have nothing in common
"A party that sympathizes with the ku-
klux-a party that favors practical repudi-
alton of the public debt-a party that ac-
cepts nothing as settled by the war-a par
ty that reeks with corruption wherever it
has power-a party that in thousand
ways shows it has no favors to give any
one that stood by the Government in the
war? If Union men have any such q party
now, they have but little left of that spirit
so heroically displayed in 1861.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1871-10-11
THE ISSUE.

We de not mean the general issue be-
tween parties, but the special issue that
seems to be made in the Democratic party,
as developed by recent events. We think
that it is now pretty clearly understood
that there is an Issue between men in the
Democratic party, who were Union men
during the war; and those who espoused
the cause of the Southern States as against
the Federal Government. The fact that
Sewer received only three Democratic
votes for Speaker of the Senate two of the
votes cast for him having been cas-. ~ u @
publicans) goes to establish that there is
such an issue; because there isn't a man
in the State, who knows anything of the
men, but will admit Sewers superiority
over Crawl. Vaughn. There is no COM
parison between the men. Vaughn was q
General in the Confederate army, Sewer
was Union man. Spears was Union
man-served in the Federal army-and
he received ten votes for the Speakership of
the House, more than half of them being
Republican. Reeve, q Federal soldier but
now an editor of Democratic paper, re-
ceived seven votes for Assistant Clerk.
And so on through the chapter, everything
going to show that Union Democrats are
to be prescribed by their colleagues with
records of q different stripe.
But we DO not state this i'll q spirit of
complaint. We Republicans have always
contended that such would be the issue.
and now that the truth of our predictions
are being demonstrated we have no
complaint to make. Our friends, the Union
Democrats may have reasons for COM
plant They do have reasons, They have
stood up courageously for the rights of the
predominant element in their party, and
this predominant element is largely in
debted to them for the very favorable poll
teal situation which they occupy to-day.
But while these men certainly have suf-
ficient cause for complaint we do not
know that there is anything incompatible
with human nature, more especially DEM
ocratic human nature, in the course of the
1t is natural that our ex-rebel
friends, when they come into power, should
stand by their comrades in arms, especially
when they have the majority. That they
should do this may show q want of graft
tude towards those of their brethren who
came to their rescue when they could not
help themselves, but the experience of our
lives teaches us that gratitude is not all
ways strongly developed trait in human
character.
While it is not questioned that there is
an issue of this kind among our friends of
the Democracy, we do not propose to even
attempt settlement of the question for
hem. They can settle il among them
selves. But we know they will grant us
the privilege of looking on while they en-
gage in the discussion. We claim that
privilege, especially a. the discussion is
held with open doors.
