The Knoxville (renn) Register of the 10Th
instant, in placing the name of Henry CLAY at
the head of it's editorial column, as its candidate
for the next Presidency, thus speaks
Up goes the flag of gallant HAIRY OF THE
WEST to our mast head to-day there to remain
until, as we fondy trust, victory shall be written
upon It's folds. and until the united voices of ma
ton OF enlightened ireemcn have proclaimed the
noble kentnckian TO be the country's choice for
The hrst Office in their gift. Our preference for
MIR. Clay lie and has long been well known-wo
nave been at no pains TO conceal it, and have only
reiralned from oieva,ing his honored name 20 the
top OF our columns, from desire that cam-
paiSn should be closed before another was COM
menced. Now, however, the struggle OF our
State canvass is over--the triumph has been a.
chieved--,he conquest is won--and we are once
more prepared TO put our shoulders to the wheel,
and to enter upon the great Presidential contest
before us. In that contest, the Wings OF the
United States look TO Henry Clay of Kentucky
as their leader--the Wings of Tennessee desire
no other captain-he is their first, their last, and
their only cholce--under his banner they will a.
gain rally as one man--for him they will fight
aud with him they can. they MUST, they most
surely WILL conquer

MADEMoisEIL.E LE NoEMANp.--I'he recent death
oil Tits famous Partisan sybil, .qnsHce, fortune
teller, has pu, in motion the pens of all the Par-
sian scrlbes. Anecdotes Of her occult sayings
abound and marvellous things are written of her
wonderful insight into Ike secrets of fuiurity
Mr. Walsh, in one of his letters TO the lntelli-
gencer, thus explains the secret of her va,icinal
deXterity -
- 1t is remarked in the London A,hennum :
"When the philosophical history of the French
revolutions that have signalized this century from
the beginning shall be written, Mademoiselle I,c
Normand must have u place in the record" Her
share in the philosophy was that of constant al
Trance and cooperation with the police depart
ment, whence she drew information of the pri-
waite characters, adventures, concerns, and plans
OF distinguished individuals of both sexes, whom
the police in turn contrved 10 attract to her by the
agency of domostics and higher spies. Beinn
very .shrewd, adroit acftch, she extracted from
them valuable intelligence for the police. This
connection accounts for the Sugaciky and business
OF many of her predictions, and the impuni,y
which she enjoyed through all tho revolutions but
one, from the commencement--lIalf Il century be-
fore her demise. %

SWEARING AND DREss.-Mr. Weed, the editor

says, "proiane swearing has gone quite out of

the United States take great delight in initiating
John Bull, ii is to be hoped this example will not
DC overlooked.

worthy of being followed by their wonld-bc imi-

Disgracgm Procecdings-FIght oih Circus Com
pany.
DEAR BENNETT
A most disgraceful riot occurred in our town this
morning between one OF our citizens (Mr c. Sprigg,
brother to Sprgg, late member of Congress), and
purpose OF exhibiting circus performance.
AS Sprigg was passing the hotel where these
showmen stopped, something was said to him
which he construed into an insult, and he imme-
dately turned and knocked the Snowman (Turper)
down. Turner'S son (another showman) then
stepped up to Sprgg, and Sprigg knocked him
down. By this time the bystanders interfered, and
the fight was stopped
Sprigg then walked Immediately TO his house,
distance Of quarter of mile, armed himself
with two rifle barrelled pistols and came imme-
dlately back to the hotel, followed by his friends
damned rascas were; he directly saw the old man
rurrer, and attacked him again by rammisg one
OF his pistols in his face, knocking him down, and
kicking him severely. He then turned and adj
dressed himself TO OF the men standing near
him, and says, you are one OF them, and immed-
ately raised his pistol and fired at him, but missed
him. The excitement AT this time was very great.
Sprgg then marched up and down the streets, pis.
tols IN hand, with mob OF five or six hundred at
his heels deiying the authorities and all else that
could be brought TO bear agains, him, hunting for
showmen that he might shoot them. No Snowman
beng found, the MOB dispersed. The circus, after
getting over Its fright sufficiently pulled up stakes
md lett. would Just advise all that come this
way Tor the future 20 arm themselves, as our autho.
rifles seem to have lost all their power and physical
force Is all that can protect men IN this conmu-
NIFTY at this time.
