abourer in great cause, and give 1t the right
hand of fellowship. We copy the following
from its columns:
His Excellency A. G.. McNUTT, and
the Honorable EDWARD TURNER, have
been nominated as candidate for the office
of Governor-the former by the Demo
cratic, the latter by the Wing Conven-
ton.
Judge Turner removed TO this State
(then territory,) near forty years ago.
Since that time he has been either at the
bar or on the bench, and the most of that
time, and at present, an extensive planter.
He has filled several times seat In the
Legislative branch under the territorial and
State Governments. Notwithstanding he
is advancing in years, he still enjoys health
and strength, both of body and mind, and
is at present able TO travel like youth,
and perform most satisfactorily the ardu-
Gus duties of Chancellor of the State of
Mississippi. Some of his friends and ac-
quaintance believe land we are not dispo-
sed to controvert it, that his present health
and strength, both of body and mind, may
in some degree be attributable to the fact,
that he has always been a studious, indus
trious, business man, and remarkably reg
lar in all his habits.

exists in the city. The surrounding country,
we understand, is not so healthy.
Cheap Bread.-A few days since we
saw a wagon loaded with prime Wheat,
which was purchased in East Tennessee
at 81 l-2 cents per bushel; and the gen.
tleman informed us that if he had gone a
few miles farther it could have been bought
at 25 cents. He states that the farmers
in that section of country, offer to engage
corn, when it is harvested, at from II to
II cent? per bushel. = Tenn. Paper.
