Gen. Leslie Combs.

This gallant, eloquent and distinguished
Kentuckian addressed large, enthusiastic
and highly delighted crowd, in the Court
House, on last Thursday afternoon. He Is
one Of the most pleasing and effective speak
ers it has ever been our lot to listen to. He
spoke for nearly three hours and enchaned
the attention both ofhis Wing and Demo
cratic auditors. Applause after applause
followed his happy hits. and even his oppo,
nents appeared highly delighted, though he
struck them hard blows.
Gen. Combs was a soldier in the last war
and saw some hard service on our north
western frontier Though only eighteen
ysars ofage, when he entered the service in
1912, his courage, energy and constancy
won for him the good opinion of his superb
or officers and he was entrusted with dan.
gerous and arduous duties, which he always
performed TO the satisfaction of hose who
trusted him.
For his services IN the war and the
wounds which he received, rendering him
incapable of performing physical labor, u
bill passed Congress, almost unanimously,
in 1886, giving hlm pension for life.

The East and North West will not support
General Taylor. Among Others whom they
have recently declared to be opposed 20
him or Indifferent to his election, is Gov
Seward, of New York. The Governor, thus
silences this caumny in letter dated Au-
burn, August II:
"For myself, shall cast my suffrage for
General Tay lor and Milard Fillmore, freely
and conscientiously, on precisely The same
grounds on which have hitherto voted tor
Wing candidates, because they are commen-

0Tlt is with the deepest regret that we
learn Of a renoontre having taken place at
Atlanta in Georgia on Sunday last,in which
it is feared the Hon. ALEXANDRIA,. STEPH-
EMS was morally wounded.
We are not advised of the particulars OF
this lamentable occurrence. MIR. STEPHENS
we are told, was travelling in the railroad
cars. and got out at the tavern in Atlanta to
dine. He.e he was met by Mr.. KoNE, late
a circuit Judge in Georgia, who suddenly
assaulted him with dirk-knife, intlctiBg
five severe wounds, two of which are IN the
breast, and one ofthem said to be mortal.
We are sure that every one who has had
the pleasure of an acquaintance with Mr..
STEPHENS will receive this intelligence with
profound sorrow. He was known to US
only as kind hearted, and most worthy
gentleman, who during his service in Con-
g:ess, earned much crdeit for himself and his
State by the ability with which he disLharg.
ed the duties of Representative. .--Nat.

1t is a remarkable fact, and at the same
time highly fa:teriDg to US, that the only
two real hearty cheers given to Mr.. Whit
man. on last Saturday, was when he spoke
of our humble selves and when he TOOK his
seat. We are exceedingly thankful to the
democracy of Hooking township for the very
hattering cheers, which they always give
when our name is mentioned at one of their
meetings. 1t shows that our services aIe
