of the country. We expect to defend
the present National Administration so
long as it conducts public affairs in the
satisfactory manner which has character
lied its past history. We do this because
we believe the principles of the Republi-
can party are right and true. While we
shall pursue this course and advocate what
we believe to be right, with whatever abil-
ity we posg ess and with all the earnestneSs
of our nature, we will accord to Others
the right to think and act for
themselves, and in our criticisms of those
with whom we may differ we will endeav-
or TO exercise that courtesy toward others
which we expect in return from those who
may differ with us.
But while we are earnestly engaged In
these partisan discussions, our chief aim
and highest ambition will always be the
development of

East Tennessee.

Any enterprise having this end in view ,
will always receive our earnest support.
We want to see our population doubled,
and our wealth quadrupIed before another
census shall be taken. We feel fattered
with the prospect, and believe that our
humble efforts already made in that direc-
ton are being appreciated. There are
more numbers of the CHRONICLE being
sent out of the State to those looking for
homes in Tennessee, than of any other
journal published i'll the State. We will
never relax our efforts to induce immigra-
lion to this State and to the South.

OWNERS OF THE SoIL.-We have seen
it estimated that about six million of the
population of the United States own their
dwellings and the soil on which they stand,
which makes more than one-sixth of our

October.

: That excellent writer and worthy
man, Robert Chambers, v no has done
so much not only in the preparation
but also in the publication of useful
knowledge, thus speaks of the month
of October in his Book of Days:
1T is now yellow autumn, no long
er divided from summer by the plumy
sheaf and lingering flowers, but with
features Of it's own marked with slow
decay. There is rich hectic red on
it's cheek, too beautiful to last long,
and every wind that blows pale the
crimson hue, or scatters its beauty on
The empty air, for everywhere around
us the leaves are falling. But through
the openings autumn makes irf the TO-
liage, many new beauties are reveal
ed-bits Of landscape, which the close
woven leaves had shut QUITO far-away
spots, that look like a new country,
so strange do they appear when seen
for the first time through the faded
and torn curtains which have shaded

Turn wherever we may, we see the
face of nature changing; nowhere
does it now wear its old summer-look,
the very sound of the falling leaves
causes us to feel thoughtful and many
a solemn passage Of the Holy Bible
passes through the mind, telling us
that the time will come hen we also
shall fade as Il leaf the wind has taken
away. And all thou hast shall fall
down as the leaf fallcth from the vine,
That we shall soon be as oaks when
they cast their leaves, and at no other
season of the year do these solemn
truths strike us 50 forclbly as in the
autumn. As the fallen leaves career
before us-crumbling ruins Of sum,
luer beautiful halIs--we cannot help
thinking Of those who have perlshed
who have goAe before us, b.own
forward to the grave by the icy blasts
of death. The scenery ot sprn5 ava

AUBURN, Oct. l6.-Ihe will Of Mr..
Seward was opened to-day. 1t is a
clear, succinct document, slng,llarly
free from legal technicaIltieS, written
entirely in his own hand. He be-
oueathS his late home at Auburn, with
all its contents and pleasant surrouI-
dngS. 10 his three sons, by one or
more of whom it will doubtless be oc-
cupiel, and is reserved in tact, as far
as possible, in its present condition..
His other property, consisting IN
part of securities, but mainly Of real
estate in Auburn and this locality, he
divides into four equal shares among
his sons Augustus, Frederick and Will
liam and his adopted laughter, Olive
Rislov Seward, the two last named
being Ieputed to execute this provls-
ion of the instrument.
No other legacies or bequests are
made The property has not been
appraised, and ii Is impossible to say
precisely what it amouAts to. The
estimates vary, but it will probably
be not far from 100000.

Limit Your Wants.

Lord Bolingbroke, in his "Eenec-
ton upon Exile, says: sour natur-
al and real wants are confined to mar
row bounds, while those which fancy
and custom create are confined to
none"
Young men who are just entering
upon life and forming the habits which
are likely to adhere to them to It's
close, will do we'll to treasure up in
their memory these true and instruc-
tive words Of one Of England's finest
writers ard most phllosophlc states
men.
"Our natural and real wants are
confined to narrow bounds. 1t is
surprising how little is absolutely es-
sentlal to man $ existence, and, If he
will take an intelligent and consider
ate view of life, to his comfort and
happiness. intellectual enjoyments
are comparatively cheap. The cult
walton Of the mind, which affords the
highest and the only enduring salts
faction, can be pursued on an income
quite insignificant for supply OF iuXu-
lles.
Our physical wants are very few, if
we preserve our tastes simple, rs they
are by nature. To eat, to drink, to
exercise, to sleep. to keep warm and
to be sheltered; small sum will sup
ply all of these The pleasures which
are pure, and which tend to our i'm
prvvemcnt, are within the reach OF
all most every one.
But the wants which "fancv and
custom create" as Lord Bolingbroke
says, are confined to no bounds. 1t is
against these that young men ON the
threshold of life should sedulously
guard. Beware of luxurious and ex-
pensive habits. The qualification OF
them may cost you much OF the labor
and time which if given to intelleor
tual cultivation. would be more oan-
duc!ve to happiness. 1t is easy to do
without that which YOU have never
INDUCED in, IT is hard to leave of
habits however eXtTavagant and alb
surd. When you are to decide about
adopting mode or style Of living,
consider we'll whether it is certain
that, without Inconvenience, YOU will
be able to preserve it. The only safe

HE- A new insurance mOvemer

sas- A new insurance movement
was lately started in Austria. 1t in
sured the policy holder certain sum
whenever he married. How the tariff
of rates was calculated we are not
told. Were the handsome men at a
premium or the rich ones? What dis
count was placed upon the members
of the Ugly Club? Was red hair
made ground of objection by the
company? All these speculative in
quiries obtain no answer. In fact the
company has dissolved. There were
numerous policies issued, and the bu-
siness seemed to be in a thriving con-
dition when the officers of the compa-
ny all got married at once, and abb
sorbed the assets in the treasury. 1t
would be hardly worth the while OF
any speculative individual to start
such company in America. What
the people of Hartford, or New York,
Boston, Chicago or St. Louis, or any
of our great insurance centres, desire,
i. to be insured in the event of di-
vorce, not marriage, and no company
would be hardy enough to court
bankruptcy by such an undertaking.

The Battle is not Over.

When a brave and gallant army
has suffered defeat, it does not show
the spirit of true soldiery, to allow its
worsting to dismav it. but the heart
of a hero will nerve him TO close up
his ranks, marshal his hosts, and meet
the enemy again, that victory may yet
perch upon his banners. Such the
Democratic and Liberal party should
do. We have suffered defeat, but we
are not vanquished. We have been
worsted, but how? We verify believe
bv the veriest system OF fraud thal
has ever characterized these tarclcal
manipuIatons vet called by the old
time name of elections. We believe
that Buckalew is honestly Governor
of PennsvIyania The smoke OF the
battle has not vet cleared away, and
we are unable to give the particul l,'rs
OF what has been accomplished out
tins We know aud see, there is stlIi
room for hope yet, if the Conservative
voters of this great and bleeding
country will DO their duty. Indiana
is ours; Ohio has cut down the radlea!
majority e-haif or tWo-tmrds, and
PENNSYLVANIA is onl V against us by
fraud, and that equal in brazenness
and viIainy to any that has ever been
perpe,rated in elections. Can we yet
elect our President? We believe there
is hope. Those manipnlauons that
have defeated us III PennSvlVanla,
cannot be as completed y carried on IN
the Presidential as the Gubernatonal
election, for the foreign repeaters and
imported colored voters will have to
be at home to vote, unless they intend
10 let Maryland go by default, and
throw their votes into Pennsylvania.
Even with Ohio aud Pennsylvania,
in the radical column,it will be seen
that there is a lust prospect we may
override the centralizers. Letus take

BEAUTY OF OLD PEOPLE. - Men
and women make their own beauty,
or their own ugiiness. Lord Lytton
speaks Of a man who was ugller than
lie had any business to be, and, if he
could but read it, every human being
carries his life in his face,and is good
looking, or the reverse, as that life
has been good or evil, On our fear

emotion are oterpally at work, Beauty
is not the monopoly of blooming young
men and of white and pink maids
