| To the Editors of the Chronicle
Just at this time the "countryn is alarm
ingly bare of news. We have not had a
wedding or fight in two weeks, and if !
get up neysy production, it will be all
manufactured, and out of whole cloth, too.
I can say one thing without overstatfng--
there never was week in February that
surpassed the one just passed for mild and
gentle spring-like weather. The violets
bloomed as sweetly and the birds sang as
gayly as they will when real spring-time
comes to stay. The thermometer rarely
went below 60o, and often above ZOE; but
to-day the robin and bluebird have hushed
their song, the violet has closed its little
lips, and the great white flakes of snow are
whirled and twisted through the air, and
driven against our window easement with
all the madness and fury of mid-winter
had, our farmers think, most excellent
effect upon the growing wheat. Fields
that gave no evidence of life two weeks
ago, are now covered with a rich carpet
of green and, from present indications,
the wheat crop will be enormous, from the
fact that there was an unusually large
quantity sown. A number of our farmers
have commenced sowing oats, and all that
can get them are almost exclusively sowing
lie ItdiuSueu NOIWdy OdIS, DIS bley yleIu
SO much better, and are equally as good
for stock.

sorry to say the paucity of that class is so
much below what we have generally i'm
agined that look and talk as though they
had began life de nOUO. mean those that
remain of the radiant patriots of twelve
and fifteen. If our Representatives and
Senators could behold one of these gray
headed, stoop-shouldered old veterans as
they talk about 'their pensions" and how
comfortable it will make them, and then
see the tear of giadness trickle down the
furrowed cheek, methinks they would
thank the moment that they were prompt
ed to SO noble deed. The soldiers of the
war of twelve and fifteen were almost
without an exception, SO far as my knowl-
edge goes, true to the old flag during the
rebellion, and they are true and devoted
yet, and with one accord they say long
live Brownlow, Stokes and Maynard. We
upper East Tennesseeans have always adj
mired Mr.. Maynard, and we have always
hoped the day would come when we could
support him. We believe him honest,
true and devoted, at all times Republican,
and under all circumstances, and upper
East Tennesseeans would rally to man
under the banner of Grant and Maynard.
We may be premature in the expression of
our views, but we are honest to all intents
and purposes in what we say, but to say
we are proud of Mr.. Maynard as Tonnes
seean conveys but faint idea of our devo-
ton for that noble gentleman who so faith
fully represents our State.

TO the Editors Of the Chronicle:
Inthe Wing aad Register of this morning I
find the following editorial paragraph
Mr.. Helms deposition in the case in Ques-

November last. Precisely three months after
that time on the Nth of February after Mr.
Helms returned from Washington city, az we
are informed, and after the trial of the case, he
counters to give Col. Baxter an affidavit, not
one word or idea of which appears in his depo-
sition! This is strange conduct, and leaves room
for speculation as the motives that actuated
him"
Now, while ! know, Messrs. Editors, that this
whole community is disguised, tired and sick Of
the abominable discord that has been created
