Northern and Soathern Feeling.

The New York Trnees referring TO the
publication of a letter from prominent
citizen of Virginia who recently visited
some of the Northern States, sayes:
Prof T.. s. Joynes, Of Virginia, has
done his country q substantial service by
making public mention of the courtesy
with which he YVES everywhere received
during a recent journey in the North.
His testimony is so positive, and his char
acter In his State so high that the Rich
mond EhQRirer is convinced that there is
no real enmity between the people of the
two sections. 1t is undoubtedly true that
extremists on both sides have been too
generally accepted as speaking the general
sentiment, and have given eoloring of
rancOr to relations which in fact have been
friendly. The press on both sides has done
much to keep alive, since the war, the
hate and distrust which have done go
much to embitter its memories In this
work the journals of the South have per-
haps more than kept pace with those of
the North. The sentiment called from the
Enquirer by the letter of Prof. Joynes is
therefore a cheering sign that the OBJ
stacles to a closer communion of the sec.
tons are being slowly but surely removed.
They must be wholly overcome before the
nation can be thoroughly welded and its
future prosperity enterely secured.

Without a NeMsnaper.

Nothing, says an exchange, presents q
sadder commentary upon the present con-
dition of society than the large number of
families, both in the town and in the conn.,
try, but more especially in the latter, that
subscribe to no paper of any kind. How
many families are thus growing up utterly
ignorant of what is transporting in the
ty events of the day. But who can tell of
the vast amount of injury inflicted upon
the rising generation-those who are to
take our place at no distant day-growing
up without any knowledge of the present
or any study of the past, this ignorance,
too, being imbued into them by the sang
ton of those who should, and doubtless
do, know better, did they only think of
the injurious effects of their insane course.
Let the head of the family think of this,
and place in the hands of those for whom
he is responsible, the means of acquiring
some knowledge of the moving panorama
in which we act our different parts.

LEA's SPRINGS, Aug. 10Th, 1878.
Within the past week if some of the
readers of the CHRONICLE, who reside in
Knoxville, could have been transported in
the early forenoon, or some evening at
early candle lighting, to this locality, and
could, unobserved, have looked through
the windows of a ten-pin alley, they
would have beheld a strange and amusing
spectacle 1t is really funny, just to see how
men (and women too can lay aside that
bubble called dignity, " utterly disregard
ing appearances and give entirely away to
unstudied ease. Here all seem to be on
the most perfect equality. One of Knox
villes most learned and popular physi-
clans, whose research has given
food for the intellect of thousands
may be seen rolling balls at wooden
pins with a printer, and when he
makes a "ten strike" or even a
"spare," showing as much satisfaction as
the latter A bank teller (who ought to
have a wife but has mott, will yell like a
Modoe because DR.. Hart, who happens to
be on his side in the game, makes three
successive "ten strikes and couple of
spares" A wild Irishman, as clever a
fellow as ever hailed from the Emerald
Isle, who is afflicted (?) with bronchitis,
can make more noise than Texas cattle
drover. A life insurance agent, actually
forgets to talk about policies and screams
like panther when he can make seven on
roll" A learned Professor in Knox

gent with q classic name residing near here
bank teller of Vicksburg, Miss, a book
keeper in a Louisville manufacturing es-
Enlistment, wholesale china dealer of
Knoxville, and Texas merchant, besides
others too tedious to mention, all Join in
keeping up the fun, vying with each 9TH
er as to who shall knock down the most
pins, and manifest the most interest in
the important result. The ladies are not
quiet by any means, but we promised Mrs.
T., of Knoxville, and Mrs. s., of New Or
leans, that we would say nothing about
the manifestations of lung power on the
part of the fair guests at this popular re-
sort, and we intend to keep our word
Besides ten pins, croquet comes in for a
fair share of attention, in which game the
genial DR.. Hart also excels, as he does in
ten-pins, whist, marbles, mumble-the-p
&c, &c.
With all these amusements and all this
exercise, it is unnecessary to say that the
commissary department of this concern is
well patronized. But the landlord, Mr.,
Smith, is equal to the occasion, and makes
that department as successful as it is pop
ular. If any one has any doubts on this
subject, they may be readily removed by

An Notwithstanding Country Girl In.
weighed into a House of Ill-fame by q
SlreWd Pr0curesS

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 1s.-Quite a
sensation has been produced here by the
enticing to this city of an orphan girl, Eliza
Garrett, from Memphis, by Sarah J. Owen,
alias Alice Cromwell, alias Long Alice, a
notorious nymph du pave, of Nashville,
for purposes of prostitution. Miss Cartrett
was sent by her friends from point near
Ripley, Lauderdal county, Tennessee, to
Memphis, to take a boat to her adopted
home near Jacksonport, Ark. Having to
lay over at Memphis longer than she an
ticipated, and fearing that her limited
means would give out before reaching her
destination, she went out ON the street to
sell patch.quilt, hoping thus to increase
them. The first woman she met was Long
Alice, in the door of the express Office.
After getting Miss Cartrett's history she
urged her to come to Nashville with her,
holding out the idea to the unsuspecting
girl that she (Long ALICE would give her
q good home, and that, If dissatisfied, she
would send her to Jacksonport.
When Miss Cartrett found that she had
been inveigled into a house of ill-fame, she
fled unframed. w. H. Yates, chief of
police, took her under his protection, plac-
ed her in a hotel, and as her next friend,
entered suit in the Circuit Court against
Long Alice for SIS, 900 damages, and had
all Long Alice's property, including jew
elry valued at about that amount, seized.
He will also prosecute Long Alice crimi-
nally. She will be arraigned before a COM
hitting court on the 9th inst, to answer
20 the charge of inveigling and enticing
Eliza Garrett into house of ill-fame for
the purpose of prostitution.
Miss Cartrett, who appeared to be an in
nocent, confiding and unsuspecting coun-
try girl, says she took Long Alice for lady
Of refinement, and never once suspected
her want of character until after arriving
at her house here.
