Letter from New Market.

3 Ea4H New MARKET, Sept. 2lst, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Political gatherings
are the order of the day and, yet we OCCASION
ally find some who think of something beside
politics. On the evening of the 18th inst, the
lady members of the Presbyterian Church OF
our village, met at the residence of Col j. M
Meek. and organized " Benevolent Society,"
A full quota of officers were elected, commit
tees appointed, &c, land the society is row ready
for work. None but ladies were present, and
some of the knowing ones say with "wag
of the head' that it was meeting in the inter-
est of "womans rights" The objects are good,
and we hope the future may tell the result to
the Church, and to the poor of our village. They
also agreed on time for holding fair and
festival for the benefit of the Presbyterian
Church. The time was fixed for 9th and 10th
days of October. Some of your young men OF
the city of Knoxville have been in
the habit of attending such gatherings in
cur place. Let them note the time and govern
themselves accordingly.
Some of our most thrifty farmers are sowing
wheat. The extremely dry weather retards the
work of breaking and preparing the ground for
the wheat crop Our farmers are seeking for
and sowing the best variety of wheat and Civ
ing more attention to the preparation of the SOIL
We hope the result may be larger and better
yield of wheat for the LABOR bestowed on the
soil. Many streams and wells never known to
fail are failing in their supply of water. Pas
lures are failing and as result those who rely
alone on them are falling short in the supplies
to the dairy and a great scarcity of the "oleag-
inOus" substance known as butter, an article so
Indispensable in the culinary department.

given for American girls who wish hand

young man is supposed to do very well if
he can, by hard work, earn $500 year.
But of course they are economical; eco

nicely on $3.50 year; yet with this she
has nice little house, of four rooms, sup

She is rather confidential, so much so that
she told me how much a pretty dress cost,

the Kings time is spentat his castle in the

WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 21.-The Bureau OF
Justice is considering the eligibility of Jas.
A Lee, colored alien, who was nominal
ed in Mississippi as Presidential Elector,
ts cast the vote in the Electoral College.
The decision will probably be that he must
have been naturalized since the ratifica-
ton of the Fourteenth Amendment to
make his vote valid. The question was
first asked Of the Attorney General, who
declined to answer. But subsequently,
through the directions of the President,
the law was Investigated. The question is
regarded important in Radical circles, as
the rejection of Lees vote might defeat
Grant.
The Star says it is stated that the Presi-
dent refused to pardon certain kuklux
prisoners in the Albany Penitentiary, who
had been recognized for executive ciemen-
cy, because of a protest coming from the
district where the criminals were convict
ed, from those who would be most endan-
gered by the releases. The character of
most of the convicts is very bad. Some of
them are ignorant, lawless and desperate
men, who it is believed would not hesitate
to wreak their vengeance upon all who
testified against them.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Weare enjoying some
glorious fall weather now, bright warm days
and cool nights. Last night there was frost.
Politics are unusually quiet. Greeleyism has
about disappeared leaving Republicanism moth
ing to do.
All parties anticipate rich time next week
when Andy, Cheatham and MAYNARD speak
here. As Andy and Maynard are expected to
do the speaking, so they will get the votes.
Cheatham's vote about here will be about in
proportion to the length of his speeches Nav
nard's majority in the, county will be at least
500
While it seems there are in different parts of
the district few disaffected Republicans who
will not vote for Judge Butler, we are pleased
to state that careful inquiry of leading citizens
of this county have failed to discover a single
Washington county Republican opposed to But

duty. WAsHINGToN.

But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,
And we mount to its summit round by round

That noble deed is step toward God,--
Lifting the soul from the Common sod,
To purer air and broader view.

We rise by the things that are under feet;
But what we have mastered of good and gail
By the pride deposed and the passion slain,
And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet.
We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust,
When the morning calls us to life and light
But our hearts grow weary, and, ere the night
Our lives are trailing the sordid dust.
We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we pray,
And we think that we mount the air on win g:
Beyond the recall of sensual things, I'D r
While our feet still cling to the heavy clay.
Wings for the angels, but feet for the men
We may borrow the wings to find the way
We may hope, and resolve, aspire and pay;
But our feet must rise, or we fall again.
Only in dreams is ladder thrown 70 -.
From the weary earth to the sapphire wall,
But the dreams depart, and the vision falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone.

But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the yaulted skies,
And we mount to the summit round by round
