August Elections.
Tennessee.

We should have had yesterday re;uins from
three-fourths OF the State, but the Mail from Last
Tennessee via Abingdon, Va. has failed for seve-
raj days. owing probably to the great ran, while
from Middle Tennessee the slips and letters to
SATURDAY. night. 18th, were received at Louisville
on Monday The Journal gives the substance OF
these, but omts the returns by which they were
accompanied and fortified, which would have
suited us far better. However, the fact that Gov
Jones had gained ,067 on his vote in lS4l, when
his majority in the State was 1924 which Mid
die Tennessee alone is expected to increase to
100, is all-suticient. His majority can hardly
fall below 1000 and Is quite likely to reach 6,0OO.
The following letter tells the story:

This is the fourth of series Of Political Tracts
by the author Of the widely known and popular
Crisis OF the Country, &c. Of lolO. It's ably,
closely, pithily written, and condenses a large
amount Of argument, fact and opposite illusta-
ton into the small compass of sixteen closely
printed pages. 1t is 50 PLAIN that no man can
read without comprehendng it-so lorci6le to at
none can understand without being impressed by
it. The argument is not just the same that we
should have used-the question is approach ed
from an entirely different quarter-somc of It's po-
sitions We might be induced to modify, while IN
others we should lay greater stress than the u
thor does-yet the conclusions are those common
to all friends of Protection, the general doctrine
sound and the reasoning cogent. This tract
ought to be, must be generally circulated. Every

Then the nabob cries out, 'sthe laws do not

Then the nabob cries out. sthe laws do not
protect property--our property Is not rep
resented in governmen,"-when he ought
to know from his own experience, that 1t IS
labor which protects all property, and not
laws; and that houses and land require no
other representation than industry. An
empty house can bring no rent. A waste
farm can yield no income. All the lands
from the Missouri to the Rocky mountains
would be Of no value to any one unless Gull
tvated by labor. Who does not know that
wild, untenanted lands in Pennsylvania
have eaten up large fortunes in taxes and
expenses? OF what use was our whole
American continent till brought under cu-
tiyaton by our civilized race! The whole
province of Pennsylvania would have been
dear bargain for hundred pounds, IN
the hands Of savages.
These are obvious truths, when devel-
oped; but we are all prone to overlook the
simplicity Of first principles, in the com
plication Of the social machine, as 1t Is
working before it. LIE, the man who boasts
Of property remember that it has no value
in itself; but on the contrary, that all It's
value depends on labor and industry.
What then ought to be represented in
our Legislatures? No, property, certainly,
that is nothing, in itsell-but labor and in
dus,ry which are substantive things
Hence the sound popular doctrine OF a Re-
publican Government, that human happi-
ness is the only proper and just quallhca-
ton Of voters-that personal rights involve
and imply all rights Of property, through
the channels of industry. economy, tempe.
rance, prudence, ard the other virtues OF
our nature. The moral influence Of wealth
is always ponderous and pervading; quite
enough so so as to preserve its rights, and
more than enough so to preserve its rights
and more than enough TO secure the rights
and happiness Of others. Wealth wants no
legal privileges added to its natural advan-
tages; while labor and industry, if not eter-
nally vig'ant, may fall prey to its over
teaching rapacity. The rich man OF TO-
day, may be the poor man Of tomorrow,
but the industrious are placed above the
blasting reach Of ordinary casualties.
We have come to the last point of delu.
sion-why industry is not taxeda We an
swer, because it is invisible and not tang-
Die. Visible property only is subject Of
taxation. Besides, that industry is always
progressive from day to day; while visible
property is accumulative, in existing mas
SEES. Yet industry is taxed, and bears tho
whole burden Of taxation, indirectly.
plantation can pay no tax, unless cultivated
and when cultivated, i. is the labor that
pays the tax.

THE ARCHIMEDIAN PROPELLER.

The restless mind Of man will never rest,
until he has placed the application Of steam
power as far in advance of its present
stage, as it now is beyond its first discove-
ry as propeliug power to ships. The
English papers are now praising very
highly, the Achimedes Screw, as means
of propulsion, superior by far to the large.
ungainly paddles, that now dis6gure =
ship, and have caused so much trouble and
effort TO obviate their difficulties. This
screw, if we comprehend it, is Of a conf.
cal shape, and is said to combine greater
power, convenience and economy by far,
than any other means now employed a.
moving power in steam ships. The Eng
lish Government has recently constructed
frigate, to which this screw is attached.
and the result is spoken Of in the highest
terms as satisfactory. The French Gov
eminent is about TO test, it also, and many
private vessels are building in which tho
screw.win be used. This must arouse our
people. We must never be beaten; and of
others run ship across the Atlantic at
the rate of fifteen miles per hour. we must
invent something that will drive her iwen-
ty. We must have the palm-and a. the
result of competition in discovery, we cal
culate 10 see ships cross 10 this country
from England in six days-equal to flying.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

We have seen new style Of button'
which has just been got up by Messrs. r.
& w. Robinson, Of Attlehoso', in shis
State, the we'll known manufacturers OF
buttons, and perhaps the most celebrated
Of any in this country. Ii is called tho
Opal Button, and with perfectly smooth
face, exhibits in the light of the sun, or BY
candle, light all, the variegated colsrs OF
the rainbow, and the different changes and
glitter Of the diamond and ether precious
stones. In brilliantly lighted room. .
coat with such buttons would exhibit some
thing like kaleidoscope. II is in fact the
most like the gem from which it is named.
Of any thing that can be manufactured, and
is fair sample Of Yankee ingenuity. Mr..
Willard Robinson has been for nearly two
years engaged in getting up the new in
vention by which such changes Of light and
shade and color can be produced, and no
has succeeded beyond his most ardent
wishes. The secret is known only 10 him
self, and will undoubtedly prove invaluable.
The bottom is necessarily so costly that il
will not, for some time, be used except up
on the most fashionable and expensive
coats. On trial, purposely made to test
their durability, it has been found that even
when the button is almost worn out, the
colols are not dimmed, and lose none Of
their brilliancy. Mcssrs. Jones, Lows, &
Ball, who are known to bevery fas,idious,
pronounce this Opal Button to be the very
gem of buttons, and far superior to any
thing ever imported.-Boston Courier.
