Gov. Jones of Tennessee.

The Nashville Wing has the following peril
nent and forcibIe acknowledgement of the talents
and services of this eloquent young champion Of
Wing principles:
.sOf the services of this eloquent champion of
the Wing cause in the late canvass, we spoke in
the terms of praise to which we believed his Just
merits entitled him, on the eve of the election
And now that success has crowned prolonged
and laborous campaign, and afforded his per-
sonal and political friends occasion for rejoicing,
we have only to add that gratitude as well as ad-
mlratlon belongs, of right to the gallant victor.
Never were laurels more hardly won, never honors
more richly deserved. At the sacrifice of health
and comfort, at the peril of life ITSELF aboring at
the time under physical debility to meet the ap-
continents of his competitor, for more than
tour months traversed the State, riding from 25
to 40 miles day, and addressing the people at
more than ninety different places. All this he
went through for the Wing canse alone. He had
little or no personal ambition to crafty; he was
content with the honors already received at the
hands Of his ellow-citizens, while his early pur
suits and associations strongly inclined him to
private life But he was not content to see his
native and beloved State transferred to Loco Fo-
colsm and when portion of his iellow.cltizens
indicated wish that he should meet the veteran
leader Of that cause, he yielded to their wishes
and placed the question of his reelection before
the people, on the broad ground Of national poll
tics. He avowed at the outset, purpose to
fight under the ample folds of the Wing banner
and by it to stand or fall-his principles, the
principles of the Wing party; his measures Of
relief and reform, their measures, and his prefer
ence for the Presidency, HENRY CLAY, Of
kentucky. In upward of ninety speeches, he
repeated this declaration, and the result, while 1t
stands out glorious monument Of his intrepid
hrmness and decision, proclalms to the country
that his choice for IFhlg President was not
less popular tasn his eloquent support of Wing
measures was emlnently successful.
We repeat, debt Of gratitude is due to this
able and triumphant leader Sure we are it will
not be withheld, either by the Wings of Tennes-
see or their brethren In other States
a PATTERN SETTLEMENr.-The Edenton Sen
tlne says there is small, secluded district
named Croatan on the coast of North Carolina,
separated from the main land by marshes and the
Croatan Sound which is believed to be without
a parallel on the globe. 1t contains about one
hundred and fifty inhabitants, nearly all are mem.
bers OF the Methodist Church, and assemble for
worship every Sabbath there are but t,co who
drink ardent spirits, and all, to man. are Wings.
There is not store or shop, doctor, lawyer, JUS
ce OF the peace, coroner, constable, or any other
officer OF any kind. If any difficulty occurs
among them, the matter is referred to their
friends, and they settle it. They live like one
family, and brois as seldom occur as they do in
the best regulated families.
JUVENILE 1NDusrRY.-A correspondent in the
Greenvllle IS. c. !Mountatneer says, that white
boy In the neighborhood of Cambridge, Abbevle
District, not more than twelve years of age, made

horse, three hundred and fifty bushels of corn,
thirty bushels of wheat, and two hundred and
eighty dozen bundles of eats. And from present
