LATER.-Since the completion of the above
table, report from Bedsoe, Overton, Fent,
ress and Van Buren,, has been receieed, which
if it should prove correct, will materially
change the result. According to that report
johnson has gain of 100 in Bledeoe, and 5ll
in Fentress, Overton and Van Buren,. This
reduces Gentry's nett gain to 3j9, according 70
the table.
1t should be borne in mind, however, that
many of these reported gains on both sides
are unreliable, and the official vote will mate
rally change the result. For instance, there
is good reason to doubt the report of a gain
for johnson in Obion Of 2ll. The only reli-
able report we have from that county gives
Gentry Lett gain of 81, and three precincts
70 hear from. From Blount there are conflict
ing reports, also. The report from Hickman
is improbable, as it gives larger gain than
the entire Wing vote for Henry.

ANECDorE OF BRANr.-Brant the famous Indian
chief was notable for his wit and his bravery, and
often made as good retort, as any attributed 20
the keenest OF his white brethren. On one occa-
sion braggart captain was Boosting what HE would
have done had he met the warrior ia certain
emergency. "I'lI tell you" said Brant, what you
would have dOne-you would have followed the
example of another hoaster, who, meeting me
face TO face, took 10 his heels, and never stopped
until he arrived in Albany--which he CHANGED to
enter during great couhagraton. Hearing the
Dutchman cry, 'bruanL bruaut tire, 6rel) he only

The Result.

We have reports from every county in Mid
die Tennessee, all but three in West Tennessee
and thirteen in East Tennessee. Leaving Ou
the report from Bledsoe aud Overton, Fentres,
and Van Buren,, which is at least of doubtful
correctness, especially from the last NAMED
counties, aud Gentry has to make gain O
-l27l in the counties TO hear from. We are
confident that the official returns from the
counties reported in our table will materially
change the result Altogether the case
though desperate one, is by no means hope
less. Seeker men have recovered.
East Tennessee, a. far ms heard from, has
done nobly. She may yet bring us ont of the
