LEE VALLEY.
A NE WSY LETTER FROM LEE
VALLEY.

LEE VALLEY, Tenn, March IS, 20.
To the Editor Of the Hawkins County Departrn'nt:
Old BOreas is abroad in our land this
morning, to the CONSERVATION of all low
ers of the delicious peach; about two
inches of snow shrOuds our beautiful
valley in alabaster whiteness while we
write, and it is still showing. When we
awoke this morning, and the feathery
flakes came silently stealing through a
crevice in our window pane, we thought
Of you and your unfinished poem on the
beautiful snow"
We passed the morning hour in read
ing the newspapers and rejecting upon
the apparent total dcpravity of the aver
age of1ce-hOlder in this, our centennial
year. The Louisville Courier Journal
says, Grant and Pierrepont, by threaten
ing TO indict the witnesses against Bel
KNAPP, are trying to close their mouths,
which win effectualIy screen that notori-
Gus felon from justice; while Brown
lows Wing aud Chronicle says, the in
vestigating committee have scented game
they were not after, and purposely let
the witnesses escape in order to prevent
injurious to the other side OF
the house. Time viii tell who stole the
onions.
Judge III. G Smith passed through our
valley yesterday en- route from Snced-
vile 10 Rogersville From his remarks,
We infer that he is willing to sacrifice
himself in the Congressional race next
fall, against Mr., Wm. Mcfarland. we
learn, by the-way, there are several SIGH

the entire district which we hear OK

an evidence of cowardice. A brave
man is not always in dread of an attack
from an enemy. An honeTt man is not
always on the lookout for robbers; a
good man Is, as a general thing, fear
less one. We always have our suspic-
ions aroused when we see young fel-
low Juggling a pistol around. It is a
sure sign that he has already committed
some offence or that he meditates some
rascality. The attorney generals and
grand juries of the country cannot be
too strict in enforcing the law against
private citizens carrying weapons. If
the law could be enforced to its fullest
extent in few cases in each county in
the State the practice would be- effec-
tually broken up. That uncalled-for
homicide at Knoxville a short time
since, occurring at a social gathering of
ladies and gentlemen, and which has
plunged two families into grief and sor-
row is warning which should be heed
ed by those whose duty it is to see the
laws executed, and TO see that - the
pefSCe anu oiShttg u inc Ctste ~ pre-
served. There is no maudlin sentimen-
talism about us ia regard to the use of
pistols. If man finds it necessary in
the protection of his life or his honor,
to shoot, we believe he ought to shoot.
But to carry pistol in business and so
cial life, only to be ready in case diff
iculty comes up, is hunting for trouble
before hand and is simply cowardly.
The law is against it, and the law ought
to be vigorously enforced.
