THE STATE CONVENTION.

There is general approval of the proposition to
postpone the State Convention until the 18th
April The Lincoln Journal says:
STATE CoNvENTIoE.--By reference to the Card
of the State Central Committee, it will be seen
that the Democratic State Convention will meet at
Nashville on the 9th of January next. The time in
near ct hand and yet there has been but little pre-
paration, if any, for the Convention; we have seen
no notice of the appointment of delegates nor have
we seen any expression OF the press or people IN
regard to the nomination then TO be made. Just
out of warm and exciting Canvass the people
need little rest and will hardly be willing to
commence another canvass so early and it seems
10 US the committee has called the convention at
far too early day. We think it very clear that
but few if sny counties will have delegates APP
pointed and of those that may make appointments,
many will not attend in consequence of private
business and the incemency OF the weather at
that particular time. A convention assembled un-
der such circumstances, it occurs TO Us, would
necessarily be composed Of few self constituted
delegates Interested politicians, who would care
but little for the wish of the people, and who could
not know their wishes, even if they desired hon.
estly to represent them. We have but little doubt,
that q fair reflection of the sentiment of demo-
cratic voters in the State would result in the re-
nomination of our present distinguished executive
| by very large majority. He has fought the bat
ties of the party when the msjority was against
us and when we were threatened with defeat by
the power of secret organization, and by his en-
ergy and ability redeemed and held the State and
it is bat just to accord to him and his efforts, as
much as to any other of our distinguished men,
the present proud position of the volunteer State
| he has given and received as many hard blows
| as any other man in the State, and now the peo-
pie are disposed to accord to him easy race af.
l ter two arduous contests. We think it not only
proper but important, that the people should meet
in the several counties and appoint their delegates
| with such expression of their sentiments in the
/ form of resolutions SIS they may consider proper
and that this may be done it will be necessary fol-
the meeting of the convention to be postponed fol
some time-we would suggest about the LIST Of
| May. We should like to see an expression from
| our contemporaries upon this suggestion.

R- On Wednesday morning last, about half
an hour before day break, negro man belonging
to Mr.. Solomon Raimey, was shot and instantly
killed, by one of the neighbors named Pickett,
under the following circumstances. The scene
of the occurrence is in the immediate vicinity of
Louisa Iron Works, the point at which the intended
instruction mentioned in our last was discovered.

humor, but shortly turned back and approached
the house where he met bis fate. 1t was still too
dark to distinguished persons, and Mr. P. who was
alone in the house with his daughter, warned him
not to enter the gate but he persisted in doing So
and notwithstanding q second and third command
to halt, advanced until he reached the porch in
front of the door, cursing ne advanced and defy
ing Mr.. P to fire. WI n be put his foot upon the
porch, Mr. P. discharged bis gun which was heavily
loaded with buck shot, into his breast. The negro
fell and died almost Immediately.

To MAKE BALKY HORSE DRAw.-The London
Times gives remedy which proved successful
After all sorts Of means had been tried and failed,
it was suggested that a simple remedy used 10 H.
dia should be tried-that is to get small rope
and attach to one Of the fore feet of the stubborn
animal the person holding the rope to advance q
few PAGES, taking with him the horse g foot when,
as . matter of course, the horse must follow. The
suggestion was at first ridculed but at last rope
was brought and applied as described, when the
horse immediately advanced, and, in few min
utes was out of sight, much to the amszemsnt of
the crowd. The experiment is simple and worthy
of trial

CONNECTION WITH PENSACOLA.

We are greti6ed to learn from the Florida and
Alabama papers, that the projected railroad con-
nection between Pensscols and Montgomery, is
likely to be built ia the next two years. They
report that all mstters for completing the Florida
end of the line are arranged and in successful
progress. When completed there can be no doubt
but Southern Alabama viii soon extend it on to
Montgomery. The people of Alabama have for
some years contemplated the construction of q
road from Montgomery through the interior of the
State to the Tennessee line, with the view of form
ing connection with our chain Of railroads. either
by way of Huntsville or in the direction of De-
cstur. From Nashville to Decstur, by means of
the Tennessee and Alabama and Southern Central
roads, connection is secured at an early time.
Thus we have fair reason to suppose that it will
not be more than few years until Nashville viii
have rapid and direct communication with PEN
sscols and its splendid bay and ell the intervening
country. We can conceive of no one circumstance
likely to transpire in our history as city of such
great magnitude and importance to our genera
prosperity and wealth.

The new Minister from the Walker government
