Our CAEDDATE.-Last week, we published the
proceedings of the Democratic State Convention,
which assembled on the 29th nit The greatest
harmony and ffaternal feeling prevailed in this fam
lily council of the Democratic party. As is well
expressed by the Memphis APpeai the Convention,
in conformity with ancient and honorable usage,
was held with open doors-requiring no other
PASSWORD than love OF liberty and equality, and
no other GRIP than the warm grasp of a freeman.
Conforming to the expressions Of the democracy
in almost every county in the State, the Conven-
ton nominated Gov ANDREW JOHNSON, by
acclamaton for re election. He is, therefore, in
the highest sense the choice Of tue democracy Of
Tennessee; and we have no doubt of his triumph
ant election. With vigorous canvass, which he
will enter into and the cordial CO operation OF the
masses which he will receive, the result cannot,
we think, be considered doubtful The democracy
have majority in this State, as was satisfactorily
proven two years since and they can and will maih-
tain it.
1t is unnecessary to say that the nomination will
be hailed with the veliest satisfaction because it
was both desired and expected. Under the lead Of
Gov. johnson, and on the platform of the Conven-
ton, the democratic party ready and eager for
the fray, confident that the victory will be ours

.KNow- NOTHING GEOGRAPHY

"Now Sardinia is an island in the form of a
parslellogram, 40 miles long, with an average
width OF so miles"
So says the editor Of the Gazette in his reply to
his correspondent Mr.. SCnAcHT, in his leader Of
the 18th. The SARDINIA introduced into the dis
cussion was the Kingdom of Sardnia-not the
island so called By reference to any common
school Geography, the Gazette viii learn that Sar
dina is a Kingdom in the North Western part of
Italy, embracing Savoy, Piedmont Lombardy Tor
at least part of what was formerly known by
that name, Genoa,) and the island Of Sdrdiiiia in
the Mediterranean. The capital of the Kingdom
is Turin; and it is of course vastly superior, in
populston, wealth and resources, to the island
which is only one of its appendages. Knowing
this what becomes of the Gazette's boosted "Arith-
metic' in this connexion? Perhaps excuse for this
worse than school-boy blunder may be found in
the fact that it is made h. knopU-aothiag writer,

THE WAR OF RACES.

We copy a somewhat extended account Of the
bloody riots that marked the recent municipal cleo
ton in Cncinnati-not for the purpose of crafty
ing our readers with the freshest records of crime
and violence, but 10 warn them of the fatal tenden-
CIV of the spirit that has been lately awakened. in
which the distinction of race is made to absorb all
political principles and substitute, as among savage
tribes the fauaticism OF clan in place of patriotism,
reason and humanity. In the Cincinnati election,
there were two tickets-the Democratic and the
SO called American. The latter was admitted on all
hands TO be defeated by decisive rnsjority, when
a mob collected took violent possession of the two
polls where the Democratic majority was greatest
and destroyed the ballot-boxes. The act so far
changed the result that it nullifed the election and
left Cincinnati without regular municipal gov
erument
But it had other and still more leplorable c0nse
quences. The evaporation from defeat on the one
side, and gross outrage the other led to a coils
ion on the day following in which lives were lost
and there formal array of armed bands against
each other. Barbados were erected after the man.
ner of European ezneuteS, and firearms, even can
non, were used without scruple. The parties in
this conflict were the Americans who assailed and
the Germans, who resisted There vera some petty
pretexts for the collision, but it is plain that the
whole difficulty sprung from the proceeding at the
election. The polls made scene of mob violence,
the ballotboxes broken up, the election ritiated
and thestreets OF city stained with blood Is this
reform, or is it the beginning of anarchy-the let
ting loose of every wild passion, and the surrender
of politics to the rule Of the mob2
This manifestation in Cincinnati is more decided
than has occurred elsewhere, but it is perfectly in
the spirit of proceedings that have marked the cleo
tions in many Northern cities. Everywhere this
sharp division by nationalties, has developed the
same tendency to violence. 1t has not the charsc-
ter OF party differences about political questions It
has all the hot blood and unforgiving revenges of
personal hatred. 1t is a war OF blind preudices,
not of intelligent convictions. 1t knows no sub
mission; it can have no reconciliations or compro-
misses; 1t ia envenomed feeling, not contradictory
opinion
Can any one contemplate the growth ofsuch par
ties in our country without shuddering? Whereis
it to end? Once break the force of law, and what
have we to depend on for the security of property
the sac-edness of home and the preservation of lib
erty? We have no army to meet the violence Of
mobs with the repression OF organized force. If
the law and the general reverence for its forms is
once trampled on with impunity, the people Of the
United States a:e on the brink of being given over
to the dominion of anarchy and violence To such
a condition they seem now to be hastening.-

GOVERNOR JOHNSON ACCEPTS. morning we
lay before our readers the correspondence between
Gov johnson and the committee appointed by the
Democratic State Convention TO notify him Of his
nomination for Governor His letter of acceptance
is graceful appropriate, and indicating with clear
ness and earnestness that he has no concealment,
but plants himself firmly upon the principles given
by the Convention. On this as the standard bear
er of the democracy, he will confront his opponent
wherever he may be, whether yelled or uncovered
be he Wing, Conspirator, Fusionist, or all Of these
in combination. With Gov. johnson as our can
didate, the honor and veal of the state as our OBJ
ject, and truth and argument as our weapons, the
Democracy fear not the enemy, whether he boldly
appear upon the open plain Of POLITICAL discussion,
or fight from the dark jungle of Know Nothingism.
A glorious victory awaits us.-Aemphs Appeal.

He said that between forty and fifty years ago be-

some time afterward, there was but one man took
a Newspaper in a county Of the Old North State
and he was Postmaster at the county seat The
paper was the National iatellgeHcer 1t is an Old
fogy now, but it was young in those days. The
people of the county far and near came to the
court house on Sunday TO hear the learned man
read out of his paper. He performed well, but

sitting. So he carefully marked the place where
he left of, and began st it tie next Sunday. Be
fore the war he had fallen year or more behind
After peace had been declared the interchangeable

terms. A burst OF patriotic feeling followed, and
the meeting broke up; each man fastened home

1t took good deal of explanation to satisfy them
that they were not then wanted for they had
heard the news read out OF the paper by the Post
master himself; and added the wag, they never
were entirely satisfied until they got home and, in
due course, had the news of peace read out of the
same journal
The new brethren are very much in the same

MINERAL SPRINGS IN COFFEE COUNTY

The opening Of railroads in Tennessee is draw ing
attention 10 the unlimited mineral wealth of the
State. The copper, iron, and coal mines Of our
mountains are the richest in the world. While
these are attracting the principal attention of en-
teTprising men, there are constant discoveries Of
other minerals in every portion Of the State. There
is scarcely rock or ore known to geologists or
minerslogists which is not found in Tennessee
We print letter to-day from correspondent in
Coffee county, describing the alum springs and de-
