DANDRIDGE, Tenn, April 26, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The company
referred to in your paper few days past,
are at the Duncan farm, five miles west of
this place, testing the State mine. They
are getting out some beautiful slate. 1t is
said to be of finer quality than that ship
ped from Europe to this country. The vein
is about eight miles wide and runs little
north of east. 1t will, perhaps, span the
continent, and if it proves as good as eX-
pected, will furnish slate enough to rule
the world.
Powell Wright, the man who under
went such a severe surgical operation on
the 26th of February, is still improving.
With the use of well adjusted truss he is
now able to walk over his room. The
three medical men and the many citizens
who were present at the operation will, /
think, attest to the entire correctness of
your correspondents report of the case.
think there is no one that DR.. Lyle would
have sooner shared responsibilities, or di-
vided hOnOrs with, than with DR.. G.. D..
Fairfield.
The prospect for crops | believe never
looked better in this section. Nature is
unfolding herself in her most beautiful
form; the birds are singing their sweetest
songs, and the flowers are exhaling their
sweetest fragrance. EUREKA.

Chas, Francis Adams, Letter.

Our dispatches yesterday morning made
reference to letter from Mr.. Adams in re-
ference to the Cincinnati nomination.
The letter is dated Boston, April IS, 1872,
and is addressed to'David A. Wells, Esq,
Norwich, Connecticut:
My Dear Mr.. Wells: have received
your letter and will answer it frankly. /
do not want the nomination, and could
only be induced to consider it by the cir
cumstances under which it might possibly
be made Ifthe call upon me were an un-
equivOcal one, based upon confidence in
my character earned in public life, and a
belief that / would carry out in practice
the principles which prOfessed, then, in
deed, would come the test of my courage
in the emergency. But if / am to be ne
gotiated for and have assurances given
that am honest, you will be so kind as to
draw me out of that crowd.
With regard to what / understood to be
the declaration of principles which has
been made it would be ridiculous in me to
stand haggling over them. With a single
exception of ambiguity | see nothing
which an honest Republican or Democrat
would not accept. Indeed, l should Won
der at any one who denied them. The
difficulty is not in professions it lies even
here only in the manner in which they
are carried out.
If ] have succeeded in making myself
understood, you will perceive / can give
no authority to any one to act or speak for
me in the premises. [ never had a mo-
mentis belief that when it came to the
point any one so entirely isolated as / am
from all political associations of any kind
could be made acceptable as a candidate
for public office. But l am so unlucky as
to value that independence more highly
than the elevation which is brought by a
sacrifice Of it. This is not inconsistent
with the sense of grateful recognition of
the very tlattering estimates made of my
services in many and high quarters, but
can not consent to peddle with them for
power.
If the good people who meet at Cincin-
natl really believe that they need such an
anomalous being as | am, (Which / do
not, they must express it in a manner to
convince me of it, or all their labor will be
thrown away.

The Farmers Convention.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: hope the farm
erS of East Tennessee will not forget that
the Farmers's Convention commences
here on the 10th of May. 1t promises to
be an occasion of unusual and rare interest.
Prominent speakers and lecturers have
been engaged. There will be lectures, es-
says, discussions, and speeches-all on
farming topics. The farmers are to have q
talk. Let no county fail to appoint dele
gates on the first Monday of May, or if
they fail, then let the civil districts or
neghborhoods appoint. But whether ap-
pointed or not, the farmers will be well
come-they are in fact urged to come.
Now, what will our people do? Will
they not prepare to receive the delegates
Will the Board of Trade bid them well
colne? Can we not give them a straw
berry festival:
Let us do our duty. The occasion will
be one of great Importance. L.

THE TABLEAUX.
Exhibition by the Ladies' Memorial So



Turner Hall was jammed last night with
as large an audience as it was capable of
containing and many gentlemen were
only too glad to secure standing room,
while large number could not obtain en-
trance and were forced reluctantly to re-
turn to their houses disappointed.
The programme was excellent, and un-
der the management of Mrs. Col. Gaines,
whose tact and skill was fully manifested
during the entertainment, each scene was
given with excellent effect
The Fairy Fountain, arranged by Mr..
Herbert HOdgson, whose taste is acknOwl-
edgdd by all who know him, transported
one in imagination to the realms of Queen
Nab, while the attendant divinities were
lowering around as life-like asthough veri-
table subjects of the fairy land.
The tableau of Jacobs Ladder was beau
tifak Jacob was persouated by Mr.. Gaines
Bearden, and the angels by Miss Belle
Welcker and Othrs.
In the the tableau Of Undine, the char
acters were sustained by Misses Luzinka
Martin, Fannie Sneed and Margie McGhee.
Dick Swiveller was sustained by Gaines
Bearden and the role of the MarChioness
by Miss Belle Welcker.
The tableau, in two scenes, "Oh why is
my Love not coming" Why that Love
doth tarry!" was sustained by Misses Peed
and McGhee and MesSrs. McCOrkle and
Rowan.
The comic tableau from Martin Chuz-
zlewIt," entitled Sarry Camp and Betsy
Prig, was exceedingly we'll rendered and
received with great applause.
Ruth, in character in the field of BOaz,
1xy ;f,,II
dered.
The "Prayer for Peace" with nuns en-
gagged i'll their devotions and seraphs hov-
ering over them was solemnly beautiful,
and one of the finest scenes presented.
The "Nymphs of the Golden Realm, y
were portrayed i'll a gorgeous scene, hold
ing wands in their hands and ready ap.
parently to vanish at mortal approach
The regnant beauty was Miss Sallie Park,
though she voluntarily laid aside hel
crown, and Misses Sneed, Welcker, Sally
Park and a host of cherubs.
The Turkish Love Scene was magnifi
cent in oriental luxury and well sustained
by Mr.. Mason and Miss Martin
The closing scene, Decoration Day, twas
beautiful, representing q lady kneeline
between two graves in cemetry strewing
! flowers over them, while III the back
| ground are to be seen monuments and 9th
er graves, Miss Welcker sustained the
character to perfection.
The exhibition will be repeated tonight
with change of programme, except tn,
Fairy Fountain, (which, by special re-
quest will be given the second time.
The ladies who participated in the tab
leau acquitted themselves we'll and but one
opinion was expressed concerning last
nights performance, which was that by
amateurs they could not be excelled. The
attractions tonight will equal those of last
evening and it would be we'll to go early
! in order to secure seats.
The lights were under the control of Mr.
w. w. Rowan, and never once failed
| which made all the difference i'll showing
the scenes to good effect.

\ BALTIMORE AND New YORK RAIL
RoAD.-The New York Tribune of yeSter-
day says: - O.
HThOse two eminent railroad managers,
Messrs. Thomas 4. Scott, of the Pennsyl-
vania Central, and John w. Garrett, of
the Baltimore and Ohio, lately locked
horns in Washington, and the former, af-
ter a protracted, desperate contest, tri-
umphed. He asked of Congress permis-
sion to run his trains lover subsidiary
road) into the heart of the federal city,
through public grounds of decided value,
without paying a cent for the privilege /;
and Congress gave him all he wanted. So
he can run from Philadelphia into Wash
ington, asking no odds of the Baltimore
and Ohio or of its Washington branch.
We now hear that Mr.. Garrett has coun-
tered this rap by getting through the late
New Jersey Legislature charter for a
short, apparently insignificant road,
Whereby, through connections already bar
gained for, the Baltimore and Ohio may
run Its trains right into Jersey City in ut
ter independence of the Pennsylvania
and its henchman, the Camden and Am
! boy. More succinctly, each of the two rail-
! kings has secured a clear track from the
| Hudson to the Potomac, and will soon be
running through trains from the CONNER
cial to the political metropolis in unenl-
barrassed competition with his great rival.
Most heartily do we congratulate the pub
! lie Oh these facts."
