Our EIktOn Correspondence.
Mr.. EDIToR:-
| All day the low clouds have dropped
Their garnered fiIllness down,
/ All day a gay and festive crowd
OF voters thronged our town;
sThere has not been a fight to-day
! To interest the natives,
/ Nor voting, might almost say,
! For johnson or for Maynard.
! From voices of the brave old 'Third''
Their Generals praises singing,
l could have half believed l heard
The shout of victory ringing.
! 1 stood to hear-I loved it we'll
The shouts continuous sound,
As peal on peal the music came,
"FOr Cheatham and tor Brown "
Several of our citizens visited
your town yesterday to listen to
I burts of eloquence from the lips of
the ''great commoner," the great wo-
man hangerD, and grasp his hands
and whisper words of hattery in his
credulous old ear. I am creditably
Informed that each one of our re-
spected citizens who had the pleas
ure of hearing Mr.. Johnson s speech
yesterday, returned home with a
very pleasant (?) sick headache.
Bah! l don't wonder! do you, Mr..
Editor? That's the way to Cheat
emi The gallant x-Confederate
got many votes in this district, and
also in No. l. The majority of the
colored population in this locality
voted for Cheatham, supposing him
to be an ex Yankee.
1 am sure the many readers o.
your valuable journal will be de
lighted to hear of the rapid i'm
provement of our village, which is
truly wonderful.
We have two schools at present,
land brilliant prospects for another)
one mixed and a select young la
dies school, the latter being taught
by an accomplished lady of superior
attachments. The city also boasts
a new barn; some wonderful repre-
sentations of Barnum's world-re-
nowned menagerie, Tin common
parlance, show-papers), and nesO
dry goods establishment, which
swells the number to-t vice one.
Last, but NOT least, several new
clerks, who are truly fascinating(?) |
and worthy gentlemen, and who
(rumOr says) while away their leis-
ure moments after the fashion of
Sim Tappertit, whose mirror you
viii remember was quite small.
Major Louis Dickerson, of your
city, visited our town last Sabbath.
Your correspondent was delighted |
to see the Major looking so well
and happy, and congratulated him
on the acquisition of his beau
tiful span of horses, elegant buggy
and lUeH trained groom.
The first party of the season was
given at the residence Of a noted
physician of this vicinity on the
26th ult. 1t was decidedly a bril-,
liant affair, and closed with a grand
vocal concert and dramatic farce by
the best amateur actors Of the city,
The noUeIty Of the entertaintment
made is especially enjoyable 1t
forcibly reminded me Of the follow
ing TOUCHING liaes, penned by an
inspired poet:
'sThis is my daughter that sits by my
side.
And ne pig-Criver shall have her for a
BRIDE"
The intelligent portion of the1
community enjoyed a rare intellect
ual treat last evening. Rev. Mr.
Jenkyn, talented Frenchman, de
livered a literary and Biblical lee
ture at the Methodist church, Sc
lecting for a subject "Thc miracu-
lous conversion of Paul of Tarsus
on his way to Damascus" The
lecture was interesting and highly
the eloquent speaker car /
rying his entranced audience back
over the dead waste Of twenty cen
turtles to the days of the great ApOs
lie, whose character he portrayed
with vivid distinctness. Z
It is with great pleasure that I {
correct the rumor Of my demise I
which has gone abroad-and say Co
ny grief stricken friends that I re- {
main as ever,
