TIE PESHI ~


The Democracy of Tennessee have achieved the
ty has witnessed. Such details as have reached as
in authentic form will be found elsewhere in our
columns. Although the returns are far from COM
o,ng about as follows:
A Democratic Governor by from ten to twelve
thousand majority.
Eight of the ten membors of Congress.
A majority of not less than five, and probably
seven, in each House Of the State Legislature, and
from ten to fourteen on joint vote OF the two
Houses. This victory has been achieved IN the
face of the most desperate efforts by our oppo'
nents, who labored with the energy Of desperation
to prevent It,
The State of Tennessee is again s1fely and scare
Ly IN the Democratic told; and the arch potttacaI
traitor, pho aid most to betr0y the party t10s,ts
ye5rs ago, IS to be crushed fOreUe' beneath ne
,ceigt of this great Uerdict.
We give insertion to the above extract
from the central organ of Democracy IN
this city, in order that the American and
Wing parties of this State may understand
the Importance of the recent triumph in
the estimation of the Democracy. We es-
pecially commend the last paragraph to
their consideration. 'FRONT.' they will learn
their views of its character of the victory
and perhaps may become sensible of the
very important results which their negli-
gence and apathy have secured.

Louisiana Tehuantepec Company.

We published, yesterday morning, the charter of
the Louisiana Tehuantepec Company-a new asso-
citation, under whose auspices the difficulties in the
way of constructing railroad across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, bid fair to vanish at an early day.
The resolutions of the old Board of Directors,
setting forth their for adiourning sane de-
have 20 doubt been read aud considered this
well the articles of the charter under the
provisions of which the office OF the Company is
fixed permanently in New Orleans. Without refer
ring to the obstacles that have interposed them
selves to prevent the progress of the old Company,
We will say that arrangements have been recently
effected in Washington, resulting in the formation
OF the new Company, whereby the conflicting inter-
ests between all the antagOuistic parties have been
settled; and that the new Company is now the III
disputed owner of both the Garay and Sloo grants.
Arrangements are expected to be consummated in
Mexico OF an important character, which will great
ly enure to the advantage of the Company.
Those citizens OF New Orleans, whose liberal en-
enlargement and means freely given in be-
hall OF this great enterprise amply and liberal
ly provided for in the new arrangement. Andthoss
citizens who advanced their money, under the Ga
ray Company, to have the valuable surveys on the
Isthmus made, will be paid back, dollar for dollar,
with interest. These statements are made the
highest authority and entitled to the full conf
deuce OF those inter- sted, according to our best III
Outstanding.
The Louisiana Tehuantepec Company may now
be set down on settled and stable footing, and
the most inspiring hopes are entertained that the
mighty enterprise, of such vast monent to the COM
mercial interests of the metropolis of the South
west, will be prosecuted towards completion with
all the VigOr that ample supply OF means " i'll
justify. The line of the Railroad will, we under
stanI, be located forthwith, aud the work on co
menced early IN the Fall. Success to the improve
ment, say we, with ell our hearty. o. Crescent

Our Minister 10 Spain.

When Mr.. Dodge despatched by the Pierce
adminisua alton to Madrid, as United States Minister
to Spain, the want of fitness i'll the nomination pro-
voked general censure the part OF those not pre-
vented by strong party prejudices from expressing
their honest convictions IL was evident that man
thOrOu ghy uneducatFd, without refinement of tact,
scarcely speaking his own language with moderate
correctness and totally ignorant of all others, could
not, within the range of possibility, be transformed
into proper representative of national inter-
ests at one of tue shrewdest and most unprinciped
Courts of Europe. The only recommendation OF
the appointment was its harmlessness in a certain
sense. Succeeding the active, intriguing, talented
Soule, people felt that Mr.. Dodge would subsde
into a do-nothing nOnentity at Madrid, and such
result the conservative mind of the country willing
ly accepted preferable to a continuance of the
agitation in reference to Cuba. Now, however, the
inefficiency of Mr.. Dodge has become so marked as
to evoke rebuke from Democratic journals.
The Washington States asserts, apparently on IN
formation authentic TO remove all fear OF con-
tradiction, that during the pending of the dispute
between SPAN and Mexico, involving questions of
profound interest TO this country, our government
old receive a word OF information in relation to
it from Minister, and asks very pertinently IN
reference to this remarkable fact if it is TO be our
fixed policy maintain at foreign Courts Ministers
who are both deaf ana dumb" Perhaps something
of this freedom in speaking of Mr.. DOdgc's want of
qualification is due the desire OF the present Ad
uinistration to disengage him FROM the attractions
Maurd without subjectiug itself to the necessity
of peremptory recall but the facts not the less
significant Of the impolicy Of making partizln SER
vices and political influence, when unattended by
personal fitness the medium to diplomatic appoint
ments.-BdN american.

Value of Railroads 10 Farmers

We notice in of the agricultural journals
complaints OF the farmers against railway compa-
nlesi that they take up the best lands of the farm
DO not protect the lands and often kill the sheep
and cattle, and are OF doubtful utility This is a
very shor-sighted view OF the influence of railroads
upon the farming interests. By opening new mar
kets Tor districts remote from the city they often
double the value of farms within a lew years In-
stead OF dull market tue farmers all along the line
OF road hnd il difficult TO the pressing demands
for milk, butter, cheese, calves, lambs, pigs aud
almost everything that the farm produces Hus-
bandry thriyes uuder the stimulus OF hungry
market. Almost every thing brings cash 10 Eand,
instead OF the old store pay, with settlement once
year. Farm lands are in brisk demand, and 20
up in price forty, fifty, aud a hundred per cent
We believe that railroads have added enough 20 the
value of the farms OF this country TO pay for one
half the original expense OF building them, enor-
nous IS il Is. We were eonyersng With an inteni
gent farmer, few days since, who lives upon the

Thackerav nefented.

It is reported that Mr. Thackeray, the English
salrist aud novelist, who presented himself as a
candidate for Parliamentary houors, has been de-
feated. The electors OF Oxford we're not, it seems
convinced of bis fitness tor a seat in the House of
Commons. We suspect, however, that be owes
his defeat to want OF tact on sbe stump" In his
first speech he wrapped the kuuckles of the arts
tocracy gently, declaring his opinion that il was
time the people were permitted some share in the
government SO he lost the votes Of the sristOe-
racy. Then he announced that be was in favor Of
extension Of the franchise; but the class for
whose benefit he proposed this reform, could not
vote, and could do nothing TO secure his election.
Thus he lost votes on one side which he could not
gain the other.
Thackersy is disappointed no doubt, but his loss
may be a gain TO the public. His experience at
the hastings may have afforded some new phases
OF life aud character, which, when done up" IN a
book, will be vastly more Interesting than a speech
in Parliament
But had Thaekeray succeeded IN his venture, and
maintained in his legislative seat the views whieh
be advocated before the people he would undoabl-
edly have created some eommotiOn among she ATis-
tocracy. Ia one OF bis eiectiOneering speeches be

The 'sLiOn Hunter'' at the Liverpool
POLICE CnurI.

Mr.. Gordon Cumming, who was lately present
exhibiting his trophies in the Clayton Hall in Liv-
erpoOl was charged before the borough magistrates
yesterday with assauting several persons on July
IA, while in the Grand Junction Hotel in Lime
street. The chief compliments were two persons
named Griffith and Ellis, who stated that, on the
evening in question they we're sitting in the coffee
room of the hotel where Mr.. Gordon Cumming was
taking bis supper with two friends, with whom he
was discussing the qualifications of the United States
steam irigate Niagara. The complanants having
been on board, were interested in the conversation
aud joined Mr.. Cumming at his table, when that
gentleman, $50 they said without any provocation,
attacked them in violent manner, Griffith being
severely cut about the face while Ellis was also
much injured. The bar. maid and bar-man came in
they stated, for some heavy blows According to
MIR. Cummings version, aud that of his friends,
Griffith provoked the assault by first making insult
ing remarks about the English nag and when they
were resented, challenged Mr. Cumming to fight
saying that il they would get upon the floor, "he
would take the bounce out Of all three of them In
common politeness, Mr.. Cumming said he accepted
the invitation, aud he did not do that kind of
things by halves, he gave the man a sound thrash
Ing for his impertinence. The magistrate consid-
cred that the complainants had drawn the chastise
ment on themselves, and dismissed the summons.
