NEB LETT 4. GRANT, Local Editor:
FRIDAY, JANWARY 29, 1858.
tV Chronicle Office over W H. Brjarly'i Store. Jd
W take pleasure in announcing to the
reader of the Chronicle that we eh all
commence in our next paper the publica
tion of ft new atory by our Senior Editor,
and shall continue it in each successive
issue until completed.
All our readers must remember the char
ming stories wo have already been favored
with from Mr. Thomas' pen, and will we
know be gratified at the announcement we
now make.
We have had the pleasure of looking
Over the initial chapters of this new story,
and we can assure our friends, that if the
interest which characterises them is sus
tained, jn the succeeding one, (and no
doubt it will even bo greatly inrrcated)
it will prove the best story Mr. T. has ever
written.
Let every one who is now a subscriber
to this paper commence to read the story
In our next issue, and we advise all who
are not now subscribers to become so, at
once for ltfr. Thonas' story alone will
more than repay the cost of the paper.
W notice that Col. Faxon, in the last
number of the jeffenonian, attempts to ex
cuse a transaction exceedingly dishonor
ing to the dignity of his' new title. He
gives the same false coloring to his inglo
rious flight, which Falstaff did to Trinee
Hal, concerning his encounter with the
"eleven men in buckram." The Colonel
well knows, that, the military company
that elicited, so eloquent an address from
Gen. Haskell, called not upon him fr a
spocimon of his stirring oratory, but only
wished to be drilled by so splendid a sol
dier, and receive instructions from so re
nowned a tactician. Had his avowed mo
tive, of not wishing to eclipse our distin
guished visitor, been sincere, he would cer
tainly have taken command of the compa
ny in the outset and conducted them in
his own person to Gen. Haskell, thus ad
ding tho attraction of his magestic pres
ence, and tho high honor of his great
military reputation.
With the deepest awo of his despotic
power, wo must say that his retreat was the
grossest manifestation of an unsoldierly
timidity we ever witnessed. The Colonel
seems to admire the adroitness of his man
oeuvre in escaping from his own soldiers,
bat we much fear his strategy is better suit
ed to the skulking ambuscade of Indian
warfare, than tho manly tactics of the
American soldier, that loves to meet his
foe in tho open field. We ha: pen to km w
the nature of the Col's hiding place, which
ho terms "refuge in a neighboring store."
We wero told by tho Merchant of said
store, that long after the clamorous calls
of tho "Guards" had ceased, and the uotos
of their drum had died away in the dis
tance, a trembling form, striped by the
dark soot into the horrific likeness of an
Indian warrior, dropped from his chimney
into tho ashes below; and he recognized
tJjQ unmistakeable lineaments of the dis
tinguished Colonel. Crawling out of the
ashes, ho crept stealthily to the back doori
and opening it, sprang out, and was soon
lost from view in tho devious windings of
those back alleys. A solitary pedestrian
pursuing his lonely way through those un
frequented lanes, saw him clear a tremen
dous cedar palisade at one superhuman
bound. Hushing like a meteor through
M'Koin & Bailey's lower cabinet rooms,
the astonished workmen had only time to
reach the door through which he passed
out, and catch a glimpse of his streaming
skirts, as he entered tho cellar beneath his
office just opposite. Thus hath tho vain
glorious Colonel, who in all his "pride of
place" threatened to have us shot for want
of respect, committed a deed that should
bo punishable only with tho "rope." Great
ly staggered is our faith in appearances
-when we witness such nrr.int poltroonryl
in one, trom wnoso lormniame port, anu
heroio antecedents, we had expected such
unfading laurels, in futuro fields.

Herman Mclvilm. The Fifth Lec
ture to the Literary Association, was de
livered on last Friday evening, by this
distinguished author. With our small
skill in criticism, we feci entirely Unable
to do justice to the production of so ripe
a genius and so pure a taste. Indeed tho
subject was so faultless in conception and
execution, that its subtle yet marvellous
beauty escaped only the most appreciative
sonsibility and the most cultivated discern
ment. With that true instinct of gonitis,
which turns aside from lofty and high
sounding themes, Mr. Melville selected
one of unpretending title, from which to
educe noble anil inexhaustible thought,
and quiet, but none the less striking phi
losophy. His subject was "Statues in
Rome;" and having been himself a wan
derer in that grand old city, whose very
name fires the imagination of the classic
student with the magio of storied antiq
uity; he brought those mute forms of a
distant age out of the dim and dreamy haze
of fancy, into the bright and vivid light of
reality. He had looked with no un
thoughtful eye upon those glorious mas
terpieces of ancient genius from which
the artists of a modern day have drawn
all their inspiration. Unbiassed by the
prepossessions of fancy, he traced in the
marble features of those great warriors,
philosophers, statesmen, and poets, whoBe
names are now almost deified, the same
lineaments of passion, and frailty, that
blend in the noblest faces of our own day;
and though thus stripping thein of their
divinity, made them dearer to us as men.
The description of the ideal statuary of
Rome, held us breathless by its wonderful
nicety of appreciation, and subtlety of ex
pression. Of all the tributes of genius
to the Apollo, and Venus de Medici, those
statues that "enchant the world," we never
read one more worthy of their divine beau
ty. The expression of doubt, and dark
groping of human speculation, in the ideal
statuary of that age, when tho old mythol
ogy was passing away, and men's minds
had not yet reposed in the new faith, was
finely portrayed. A most striking and
beautiful thought was introduced, when
speaking of tho equestrian statues of
Rome, and the expression of untamed do
cility, rather than conquered obedience
which their artists have given to the horse,
the lecturer deduced tho enlarged human
ity of that elder day, when man gave him
self none of those upstart airs of supe
riority over tho bruto creation which he
now assumes.
We do not remember in all our reading
to have met with a more beautiful passage,
than that in which Mr. Melville described
his musings in tho Coliseum, and tho re
currence of his imagination far back to
the day when its mighty walls enclosed
such countless throngs to witness the
gladitorial combats, and the eye of fancy
saw many in the vast assemblage who
looked not coldly on tho dying gladiator
whose eyes looked far away to
where ! is rude hut by the Danube lay,
There were his young barbarians all ut play.
Rut we hung entranced upon the clo
sing remarks of tho lecturer, which vindi
cated these spiritual productions of the
ancient mind from their alleged inferiority
to the utilitarian inventions of the pres
ent age. Isever before was the superiority
of art over science, so triumphantly and
eloquently sustained. But we will not add
nioro of our feeble praise to a production
which, if published, would elicit commen
dation from the highest critical sources.
Somo objected to Mr. Melville's subdued
delivery; but if we rightly reflect, we will
observe a striking congeniality between
this quiet manner and those mute forms
that stand still and silent amid the vene
rable ruins of "ancient Rome."
Those who appreciate the sublimity of
Nature, only when tho storm is loosed, and
are insensible to tho grandeur of her
noontide silenco, felt not the beauty of
Mr. Melville's lecture. Those who prefer,
what they term truth, and practicality
and subjects of every day interest, who
relish the strong meat that makes bone
and muscle, above that "Nectar of the
Gods" that sublimates a finer essence,
tasted not of tho divino chalice that the
lecturer held to their lips. Mr. Melvillo
noes from us, with the appreciation of
many pure tastes, and tho kindly feelings
of many hearts that penetrated through
the natural reserve of his charac.cr to the
noble nature beneath.
K. M'Kinnon, at Covington's old stand,
on Franklin Street, is selling Confection
aries, of all kinds, upon good terms. Mc.
is a clever gentleman, and we bespeak for
him a share of public patronage.
We stepped in nt the extensive Hard
ware establishment of McCall, Vanlcer &
Co., at Nashville, tho other day, and saw
a very largo and imposing stock of Hard
ware in all its varieties. This firm ap
pears to bo doing an extensive business.
Tuc Sai.lie West bus commenced rcg
ulas trips from Nashville to St. Louis.
She pusses hero Wednesday on her up

Gcw. Wm. T. Haskell delivered the
aixth lecture to the Xiterary Association,
on last Saturday night. The great pres
tige of his namo drew an overflowing house.
The address being decidedly unique in
its style and arrangement, it is difficult
to eritioise it with reference to ordinary
standards. It possessed to the last degree
one admitted characteristic of the loftiest
genius that is supreme disregard of all
the unities. Those dull minds which de
mand logical arrangement, and are unable
to follow the erratio flights of the "divine
afflatus," complained of the General's di
gressions. As for ourselves we watched
with unreprcsscd delight, the meteoric brili
aney and velocity of his motions. Now "he
dragged up drowned honor by the locks,"
now "plucked bright honor from the pale
face moon," anon, did light "like Mercu
ry on a heaven kissing hill" and lo ! "deep
sunken in the shady sadness of a valo."
The subject of the General's lecture was
"the distinguished men and women of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and parallel be
tween Clay, Calhoun and Webster." He
began his thome with an exordium of ex
ceeding taste and beauty, which commend
ed to the good people of Clarksville, the
adornment of the little sheet of water,
known as "McFall's pond," with a sur
rounding of iron railing; said railing to be
decorated with flowers and shrubbery and
thus transformed into "a thing of beauty"
to be "a iov forever." We have heard
that our worthy Mayor and Aldermen, will
consider this proposition at their next
meeting. We much fear, however, that
their practical minds will not be able to
take in so ethereal a fancy. Should the
expense bo an objection, let them remem
ber that other suggestion of the same
fertile minds, that debts are only the inter
est and not the principal.
After tho eloquent peroration, the Gen
eral introduced his "dramatis pcrsonae;"
and we must here express our mortification
at the paucity of great names in Tennessee.
If we rightly remember, tho "Gen
eral made mention of but one "sed id
fuit Ta-o." Wo congratulate our sister
state on her superabundance of heroes.
'Tis true Gen. Haskell made mention of
many, whose acquaintance Madam Fame
has not yet made, but she will certainly,
since her favorite's recognition of their
claims, hasten to atone for her neglect.
It bchoovcth her also to discard her old
fogy partiality for Homer, Milton and
Shakspcare, and dispense her favors to one
of Kentucky's eons, whose superiority over
all these great masters of the lyre, the Gen
cral has abundantly proven. But it is
impossible for us in the space of an article
to do justice to a literary repast, whose
variety would shame the multifarious con
tents of the witches' caldron in Mcacbcth
We must notice however the closing sen
tences of the General's address. If the
exordium was grand, the conclusion swept
the soul with the grand symphonies of
"the Harp ef a thousand strings." He
ended by giving tho synopsis of a poem,
which he says is the "Cliff de Oeiivr'e"
of his life, embracing every science, every
art, and every subject that has excited hu
man thought, from the days of Adam to
our own time. The concctrated essence
of all these, he poured upon tho audience
in one rushing and breathless sentence.
His recent poetical effusions awaken a
lively curiosity to hear the wondrous "epic"
and we hope he will soon fulfill his prom
ise to deliver it to the Association here.
We give place to the following advertise
ment, without exactly knowing what our
fair friends are "up to." Wo have no
doubt their challenge will be accepted by
some gallant bachelor, and wo tender them
the use of our columns hoping that the
correspondence to follow, will be profitable
to them and interesting to our readers :
For the Chronicle.
Two young ladies in quest of an agree
able correspondent, either through the col
umns of tho Chronicle, or post office,
would be delighted to find some, who like
themselves, aro fond of writing. They
promise to be very accommodating, writing
upon any subject that may be chosen. If
'tis preferred, they will chroncle the news
regularly, in tho most approved manner;
(for which you know ladies are noted, the
world over.) If you would like in your
batchclors retrcnt, to have a sweet little
perfumed billet-doux, containing love phar
zes enough, to set your hearts on fire
for a week to come, we arc tho very ones
for you to commence a correspondence
with. We throw you tho gauntlet gallant
gentlemen. If you will accept, direct to
"D. V. and L. V." Clarksville, Tcnn.
Exem pted. Printers with ninechildrcn
are to bo exempted from taxation in the
Stato of New York.
A very safe exemption. It would afford
us pleasure to see tho printer who provides
for nino children have anything left to be
taxed.
McCulloch Si Pitman are just In receipt
of a fine assortment of New Style Cloth
ing, direct from New York. Call and ex
amine them.
It will be seen, by reference to adver
tisement, the next session of Stewart Col
lege will commenco on Monday, first day
of February. Tho faculty is full, and the
school every way prepared to fulfill the
purposes of its organization.
t&" Mr. Gilbert C. Breed, the accom
plished resident engineer of the rail-road
company, nas been elected city engineer
tor the next twelve months. Th appoint
ment is an excellent one.
Wl made a flying trip, to' Nashville, last
week, and were gratified at its improve
ments, especially on tho publio . square,
where have been reared stately and elegant
business houses, of four and five stories,
on grounds previously occupied by hum
blo and unsightly buildings. We visited
the Methodist Publishing Hou, and were
highly gratified at the large scale of its
operations, and at the perfection to which
printing has been brought in our State.
The Book Bindery, too, connected with
this Houso, is doing a large business, and
we saw specimens of binding not surpass
ed, even in New York. Persons having
binding to do, will consult their own in
terest by patronizing this establishment
We also made a hurried call at the Mcdi
cal University, which is in a high state of
prosperity the students numbering over
three hundred, and tho Faculty, able and
popular. The Museum, belonging to this
School, is one of tho best in tho West,
The skeletons a're in the best style
of
French preparation, and the whole collec
tion is highly creditable to this prosper
ous Medical School.
Criminal Court, Judge Turner prcsi
ding, has been in session all the week.
The three capital cases from Stewart coun
ty, viz: estate ri tieorge Atkins, same vt
Dr. Rutland, and the same vt Mrs. Norris
were continued. Only two felony cases have
been tried, viz: State v$ Terrance M'Man
nus, indited for murder, and Patrick Wade
for murder. Owing to the absconding of
the most material witnesses to parts un
known, in the McMannus case the State
was not able to obtain a verdict of ruur
der against the defendant, which crime
was clearly proved before the committing
court and the jury found him guilty of
manslaughter, and sentenced him to the
Penitentiary for three years. The jury
in tho Wado case had not been able to
agree at the adjournment of court last
night.
The State w Maria, a slave, for the mur
der of Hodges, was continued. State r
lMrs- Hodges, set for trial to-day.
BETHEL FEMALE COLLEGE.
This school liBi jnt eloped it first session un
der Prof. Rust and hit accomplished and excellent
lady, ts succesa haa surpassed all expectation
One hundred and twenty-five youug ladiet have
been in attendance during the session, a larger
number, we believe, than ever attended a similar
inalitution in the plaee, end we learn that the
prospect for the next session, which begins on
next Monday, is highly flattering. The school
deserves abundantly its great success. The Prin
cipal and his lady have but few equals in their
profession as teachers and disciplinarians, and
their corps of assistants is admirable. Mercury.
The above compliment is worthily be
stowed.
Religious Notices.
Uev. W. D. F. Sawwk, of Nashville, will preach
at the Methi dial Church, next Sabbath morning at
10 o'clock. Mr. Pawrie is one of the ablest
ministers belonging to the Conference, and we ad
vice our citizens to go and hear him.
Fight Rev. Bishop Otey will hold the Annual
Visitation of Trinity Parish on the 14th of Feb
ruary. There will probably be services in the
church, on several d.iysj and . nights before and
after the 14th.
