To the Editors of the Chronicle:
If President Hayes is of impression
that his policy of Cancellation, so OPP
portuuely begun, and thus far SO
wisely aud firmly carried our, fails to
meet the hearty approval Of large
majority of the honest, fair-minded
men of the South, he is mistaken. Ii
Is true there has been but little out
ward demonstration of approval. Yet
the most casual observer can not fail
20 notice that there is to-day more
national feeling among all classes of
The Southern people than has ex-
listed since the close of the war. The
current of public opinion in this re-
spect, like the inserting of the tides,
moves slowly, almost imperceptibly
it may be at first, but it is every day
increasing and expaB ding, and the
old landmarks are fast disappearing
beneath the steady rise of a purer and
better public sentiment than has
flowed in the channel of politics for
many years. The steady increase and
gradual expansion of national feel
ing in the south should certainly be
more gratifying to the President
than mere outbursts OF enthusiasm
here and there. The former is the re-
suit of well settled convictions that
may be relied on as enduring and per-
manent. The latter often proceeds
from mad impulse, and the flame may
die out as su den as it may be kindled.
If the South has exhibited an apparent
hardness in manifesting its sense of
appreciation for the patriotic course of
President Hayes, ii should be remem-
,,o,H ha
In the first place, to speak frankly, the
old influences which controlled and
moulded Southern sentiment in the
past have not had time, as yet, to die
out. Their yet live and move in our
midst many of the men who figured
prominently in State and National
politics before the war, and who
taught in the Olden time that, in the
complicated system of American poll
tics, the National Government Occu-
pied the sphere usually allotted to the
fifth wheel in the machinery of
buggy and, this theory is not entirely
eradicated out of the minds of these
men and their surviving followers.
Robert TOOmbs Is a representative of
that class. While these Influences re-
tard, to some degree, the growth and
expansion of the national idea in the
South, it is felt, believed and acknowl-
edged by the young South, that the
old theories are being fast dispelled
and the surviving representatives of
the Toombs school are now assigned
to a fate, of. which the Generals
name is most truthfully suggestive.
When it is remembered how
universally the extreme State Rights
doctrine prevailed throughout the en-
tire South at the beginning Of the
war; how recently the South decided
many of the cherished theories and
traditions of the Southern people ad-
versely; how hostile the Admins
tratiOn, which came into power at the
close of the war, acted in respect to
the South, in view Of all these ingN,
the wonder is that her people so soon
begin to awaken to a proper sense of
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1877-08-09

National pride and feeling. The Pres
| ident has done more to accomplish
this in the few months of his Admin.
| istratiOn than the most sangulne could
| have expected.
In the second place, the apparent
sullenness of the South, as it has been
to understand human nature, and who
| imagine that the first act of justice on
| the part of the President, in recog-
nizing the legal State Governments OF
South Carolina, should have been the
signal for universal Outbursts of en-
thusiasm in favor of the Presidents
action, does not in point of fact exist.
The South was gratified for the act,
and her people nevertheless appreci-
ated the patriotism which prompted
the act, though there was little out
ward demonstration to evidence it.
She had become to believe that a Re-
publican President could be nothing
if not a partisan. She remembered
the injustice inflicted under the eight
years of General Grants Admin
istratiOn. State Governments had
long been subverted. The military
had overawed legislatures and courts.
Every local disturbance was attributed
10 al
or deemed organized oppression to-
wards loyal citizens. No citizens were
deemed loyal who were not Republic
cans. All these things had trans
pired but recently, and intensified the
distrust of the entire South and is it
to be wondered at that when, for the
first time in ten long years, she saw
that a Republican President was ca
pable of rising above the influences of
party and sectional prejudices, and act
with justice and liberality, she could
scarcely realize the fact? 1t produced
general establishment, and this feeling
has given away to coz EictiOns that are
fast spreading over the entire South,
that she is hencefOrth to be regarded
as an integral part of this Govern
ment, not only in name, but in fact.
The fear of party lash may, for some
time yet, hinder a free expression of
the popular feeling in favor of the
liberal policy which the President has
butit can not cOntrO! the
kindly and grateful feelings which
every true Southern man entertains
towards the President. A Democrat
myself, born and bred on Southern |
soil, sharing her fortunes through the |
war, and in the ranks, | am confident |
that in giving expression to my own
in relation to the policy of |
the President, that / utter the senti- |
ments of thousands throughout the |
South. Very respectfully,
w. w. LANGHORNE.

An East Tennessee Heroine

There is a fascination about bor-
der annals that increases with the
lapse of time. During the early set
Element of East Tennessee many
acts of devoted courage were per-
formed by devoted women, (which
the memory is preserved only by
tradition. ThefollOwings story is told
of the wife of the first Governor of
Tennessee, then only plain Captain
John Sewer, i'll command of the
fort on the Nolichucky:
Near by was "Daisy Field" the
residence of Mr.. Sheriff.. One day
a party of Indians made sudden
descent upon the station, and the
frightened women fled in every di-
rectiOn. One tall, beautiful figure
shot out toward the fort with the
speed of a deer. This was Chatherine
Sheriff.. She was woodland beau
ty, and famous through the country
for her courage and agility. 1t is
said "She could Outrun and Outleap
every other woman, could walk and
ride more gracefully and skillfully
than any other women in the cOun-
try" She surely had need of all
her powers now. She was a prize
the savageS wanted, and with fierce
yells they sprang to intercept her
way. She left the direct path, took
a circuitous way, and came upon the
back side of the fort, intending to
scale the palisades. Gathering all
her powers, she sprang into the air.
An officer was reaching over the top
to catch and lift her in, but his foot
slipped and both fell to the ground,
with the wall still between them.
A loud shout from the Indians, as
they felt the prize in their hands,
gave added strength to the maiden's
limbs. She said, when telling the
story in after years, 'Their bullets
and arrows came like hail; it was
leap or die, for l would not live a
captive" With one terrible effort
she leaped into the air once more,
cleared the palisades, and came down
into the arms of her future husband.
The first thing this noble Girl did
after her marriage was to make with
lANA wv II llslllNlS lIlt SlllS worn DN
her husband and his three sons at
the battle of Kings mountain. She
was peculiarly adapted to the re-
quirements of her pOsitiOn-that of
the highest lady in a new country.
Another attack was threatened soon
after her marriage, and families
fastened away to a greater place of
safety. 81 shall not CO." said she,
though her husband was away in
the army; "the wife of John Sewer
knows no fear !" Atanother times
large band of Tories came to the
house determined to hang her hus-
band. She hid him, and faced them
at the door. They threatened to
shoot her down if she would not
tell where her husband was.
"ShOOt shoot :" she cried ''I am
not afraid to die! But remember
that while there is a Sewer upon the
earth my blood will not be unaveng-
ed. "-Ec.

Giving Advice.


Advice is a first rate thing when
the person giving 1t knows what he
or she is talking about. But there
are volumes of advice and counsel
which are utterly useless, and more
than useless, because it is the result
of an uncomfortable desire to say
something-what makes no differ
ence. Advice to be worth anything
needs to be matured in the mind be-
fore it is uttered. 1t is altogether
better, however, as a rule to attend
to your own business and let other
peoples alone, unless you are invi-
ted to interfere. Public men are es-
pecially the victims of the advice
given. + cry man and woman in
the world think themselves callel
upon to give a man who happens TO
be in public life a sort of advice,
seeming entirely TO lose sight OF
the very important fact that any
one who has mind enough to at
tract any considerable share of pub
lie attention, has enough to man
age his own affairs in good shape
and keep them in it, and do not
waste so much of life in looking af-
ter other people.

stitutiOn imposes he has no greater
powers and no other duties than
those which belong to every citizen,
and if he exceeds his powers he is a
usurper who deserves punishment,
and who in any healthy and truly
patriotic state of public opinion will
be punished.-PhiLddelphiG Iete-
