The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer says -
Sol. Lewis T. Williamson, of Fayette coun-
ty, returned yesterday morning fiom two
months tour through the Northern and East
ern States. He brings "glad tidings of great
Joy, from all the States he has visited, 10 the
friends of "Fillmore, Donelson and the
Union"
lie says New York is positively certain for
Fillmore-so is Maryland-so is Delaware
and that he begins to stand good chance to
carry North Carolina, Virginia, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. These, with other
States certain (or highly probablel to 90 for
him, will elect him by an overwhelming
majority.
In Ohio, the renowned Tom Corwin, one
Of the greatest popular orators of modern
times, has announced his determination to
take the stump for Fillmore and work for him
till the day OF election. This is, indeed, good
news. 1t is time all the old Compromise and
Conservative Leaders of the country were
"puling off their coats and rolling up their
sleeves" and exerting al! their energies to
make Filmore's majority large and over
whelmng enough to put down the combined
hosts of Aboltionists and Dsunionists for
ever.
Col. Williamson saw ample evidences,
throughout his whole route, going to prove
that the honest and incorruptibe masses
everywhere are gradually becoming alive to
the great and vitality important fact that Dir.
Fillmore is the. only man,who can give peace
TO the country. He says that if Fremont be
elected the South will not submit, and if Blu
chanan be elected the North will not SUBMIT
but that Filmore's election would be hailed
with joy by both sections.

Mr.. Ivins-Dear Sir :-Having learned that
it has been publicly stated in my old neigh
borhood that | had changed my politics so far
as to pledge myself to vote for Buchanan for
President. deem it proper to state, that last
Spring | was under the impression that the
division in the South would throw the elec.
ton into the House, and thereby secure the
election of Fremont, l therefore proposed
that if the two parties would agree to unite
in the South, would agree to vote on either
side for the sake of saving the Union. But
as this proposition was not agreed, noW feel
bound to vote for Fillmore as tile only alternd-
Ire TO saVe the Union.
This is all there is of it. You are at liber.
ty to use it as you please.
Yours, respectfully, CALEB SMITH.

road the rails are laid, with the work pro-
crossing on the balance at a rapid rate
This road will be completed within a year,
when n continuous line of railroad will be
formed extending from Richmond to Men,
phs, and soon after to Mobile and New Or
