Letter From Kentucky.
[Special Correspondence of the Daily Press.]
Lkxisgton, Ky., August 23, 1866.
Editor Daily Press: As my experi
ence in newspaper correspondence is
rather limited, I am much at a loss for
an appropriate commencement to my
letter, and, yet, I am not without hope,
that the perusal of it, by your many
readers, will be accompanied with that
charitable and generous consideration to
which amateurs are justly entitled.
I imagine the popular mind at pres
ent to be more deeply interested in the
appearance of
THE CHOPS,
than in any other subjeot. I will first
give them the benefit of my observations
in “these parts” on that point. When I
left the old Empire State, the people
were most deeply impressed with the
entire failure of the planting operations
of that section, and looked with more
than ordinary interest and anxiety to
the indications aud prospect of the great
West, upon which they must be largely
dependent for the necessaries of life
during the coming year. I have travelled
through far the greater portions of Ten
nessee and Kentucky, and, in both
States, saw the most satisfactory and
flattering prospects of an abundant and
unusual yield trora crops of every kind.
The seasons have beeu most auspicious,
and the farmers are much rejoiced in
the realization of their most sanguine
expectations. They are also much en
couraged by the success that attended
their operations in
STOCK RAISING,
which, considering the embarrassment
from the demands of the war, is both
large and satisfactory. Extensive and
remunerative trade is anticipated with
the Southern States during the coming
Fall by drovers, who have already beguu
u» herd their stock. _ <■
THE RECENT ELECTION.
Your readers have probably noticed
he handsome manner in which this
lorious old commonwealth acquitted
herself in the late election of Judge
Duvall (Democrat), over General Hob
son (Radical), by the unprecedented
majority of forty-three thousand. Every
intrigue and means that an artful and
heartless demagognism could suggest,
was resorted to in order to embarrass
the efforts of the Democrats, and by
raising old party issues, and stigmatizing
their candidate as an unpardoned aud
full-fledged rebel, sought to divide the
the people; but the true sons of this
heroic old State had experienced full
enough of Yankee-Radical rule in the
four years that Yankee bayonets exclu
ded from the polls the men who would
dare to oppose the usurpations of the
administration, aud gladly embraced the
first opportunity to place the old com
monwealth, the home of Sydney John
ston, Breckinridge and Morgan, in a
position to her Southern sisters to which
the sympathies of her people desired
her.
THE RESULT
has given the finishing blow to G. D. P.,
of the Journal, who has been on a
bender ever since ; and, in his delirious
ravings, imagines Kirby Smith's army
in the State, and bewails the fate of the
“loyal” men, whom he represents as
fleeing across the Ohio in search of a
“city of refuge.” But, if we are to ac
cept the predictions of the Enquirer,
they will find little sympathy aud less
fellowship there.
THE LOUISVILLE COURIER AND CINCIN
NATI ENQUIRER
are the leading conservative journals,
and, by a course of sound and cogent
reasoning, have contributed largely to
the great reaction in the sentiments of
the people. The Democrats are every
where jubilant, and expect even larger
majorities in the other Western States in
the Fall elections. Had the Democrats
a month longer in this State, Duvall’s
majority would have been double what
it is.
I am for the present stopping at Lex
ington, the county site of Fayette, thirty
miles southeast of Frankfort and the
Kentucky river. It is situate in the
heart of the “bine graßg region,” and
presents a regular and pretty appear
ance. Its inhabitants probably number
eighteen thousand, and are presided over
with ability by Mayor Stanforth. It is
distinguished as the home and last rest
ing place of Henry Clay, whose monu
ment of an huudred feet, capped by a
statue of the great Western statesman,
towering above the beautiful shrubbery
that environs this silent city of the
GRANITE
dead, is discernible from the heart of
the city, and impresses all with thoughts
of the silant, yet eloquent, dust that re
poses ia their midst. This, too, is the
tom* and birth-place of many of the
GALLANT SPIRITS
who bore a conspicuous part in onr late
war. Buckner, Morgan, Duke, Buford
and Breckinridge are perhaps the most
prominent.
By far the most interesting and at
tractive feature of the place is the num
ber, beauty, and accomplishments of
the young ladies. A frieud of oura was
heard to remark, that he believed the
grace, beauty, and intelligence of the
whole West were centered here. Not
wishing to criminate myself in the opin
ion of other sections, I will only add
that they are the most fascinating and
bewitching creatures imaginable. Whilst
enjoying a pleasant promenade last
evening with one of these “fairies,” I
permitted ray mind, for an instant, to
wander to our bachelor friend at the
City Hall. Compare my present lot
with bis, and wonder what had become
of those notions upon which he used to
discourse so eloquently, and to which I
had really believed I was converted. I
am anxious that he should make this
place the scene of one of his
LECTURES ON BABIES,
and come in conversational contact
with Miss , whose arguments I
have found most conclusive and irre
futable, and whose manner and style
are quite as fascinating as convincing—
anticipating ihejinale, he will return to
his sunny home with a Blome- ing bird.
But, Mr. Editor, you must pardon me—
I did not intend this digression, and
ought not to allow private thoughts to
intrude themselves into this letter—but
really it is quite impossible to keep “a
body's ” mind from contemplating such
pleasant and beautiful subjects.
The last feature of interest that I
shall find time to mention, is the sym
metry and beauty of the public build
ings. The Baptist, Presbyterian, and
new Catholic Churches are erected with
an especial view to architecture, and
are imposing buildings. The Masonic
Hall, Literary Colleges, and
STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM,
are all objects of interest. The latter,
located just outside the corporate limits,
is one of the most beautiful places in
the State—through the generous con
tributions of the Legislature, every com
fort and convenience that could relieve
the mind or satisfy the wishes of the
patients has been added—even a billiard
room has been furnished for their grati
fication. An attentive corps of servants
is provided, and is, by far, the best
officered institution in the Southern
States. The talented and accomplished
Mrs. Fanny Dent, of Louisville, by the
casualties of war, has been forced to
accept the position of matron ; whilst
her many friends deeply regret that one
who, in by-gone years, was accustomed
to every luxury and ease that wealth
could purchase, should be thrown upon
her own exertions. Yet it is gratifying
to the friends and patrons of the Asy
lum to secure the services of this kind
hearted lady. By her many acts oi kind-
and ceaseless attention,
she has rendered herself an object of
devoted affection to the whole Asylum.
She is a sister of the gallant aud la
mented Capt. John W. Higgs, who was
innocently executed by the brute I’almer,
during his reign of terror in Kentucky,
upon the false pretext of being a spy,
when he wag captured in buttle. The
distinguished kindness and accomplish
ments of this lady recommends most
forcibly the merits of the Asylum. I
will write you shortly from Paris.
