Col. GUILD.-A writer in the Nashville
American of the 9th recommends Col. 10.
Guild as suitable person for the democracy
to select torun for Governor, We don't want
to be impertinent, but we agree with that
writer about the suitableness of the gentle
man named. Like our friend Rush Mont
gomery of Chattanooga, he has the appear
ance of being man of great physical pow
er, but if he has not improved his style of
speaking since he visited East Tennessee last
summer, we are of the opinion he would make
a tolerable slow run. If, however, the De-
mocracy think differently, we hope they will
trot him out.

cB"A man belonging in North Madison.
while walking on the track Of the New Lon
don Railroad day or two since, and on a
curve of the road, was hit by the locomotive
and knocked some twenty feet down an en-
bankment. The last was seen of him, he was
quietly brushing the dirt from his clothes,
and seeming to wonder what had hit him-
"Horribe accidents" do not seem to have
much effect on some people.

CONGRESSIONAL find. the following
editorial notice in the Chattanooga Advertiser
of the 9Th inst:
"We are requested by Judge Rowes, to
tender, for him, through our columns, his
friends who &c kindly expressed desire
that he should be candidate for Congress
in this district. He desires us TO say that
circumstances beyond his control, and which
in duty to himself as well as to others, he
cannot disregard, would compel him to de-
cline accepting nomination, even if honored
with it,"
So we suppose that question is settled, and
Col Saml. A. Smith is to be the democratic
candidate in this district. Well, we are glad
of it, as we would just as soon beat him as
any other democrat we know of.
