[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. Will. Special Notices. g@»THE EXERCISES OF J.
