Nv VANCE THOMPSON.

We have strong hopes of the election of this gentle
man in the representative district composed Of the
counties ofMaury, Williamson, and Lewis. He has
made a brilliant canvass, and whatever may
be the result of 1t, his position among the
leading men of our State and section is fixed and
certain. The following compliment from the Demo-
cratic Herald is well deserved:
Our CANDIDATE FOR FLOATER-W. Vance Thomp-
son. the Democratic candidate to represent the cOun
ties of Maury, Lewis and Williamson in the next
Legislature occupies to-day one of the prOudest
positions in the whole canvass. He entered the
canvass young aud inexperienced in political debate
with heavy majority against him, and a competitor
equal in point of party strength and ability to the
proudest Of their heroes He entered upon the con-
test earnestly and enthusiastically, and day by day
he has been growing stronger and strOnger-every-
where he has lit up the democracy with perfect
blaze of enthusiasm-and to-day, we honestly be-
ieve majority of the voters of this district intend
voting for him on Thursday next. His competitor
too feels this-he is seriously alarmed-his friends
generally are evidently frightened, and well they
may be.
We repeat, that his is proud position before the
Democracy of the whole State. His eloquence, his
zeal, and his energy have beat down " the never
daunted Hotspur" His arm is yet fresh and strOng
his bright achion is yet keen Of edge, and as his
herald in proud defiance we say to the Browns, the
Bells the McEwens and their whole host, come one !!
come all % his foot is on his native heath" and
single-handed he will battle back the invaders.

MISS ELIZA LoGAE.-This popular actress has com
pleted her New York engagement, and we are
assured upon the best possible authority its results
have perfectly satisfied her. so far as pecunary
siderations are concerned. She is now in Cincin-
natl, resting. In the course of the autumn she
opens the season at Dubuque, Iowa. and the new
theatre in Chicago. On 1t is probable that she
will play an engagement at the st. Charles, New
Orleans and the theatre at Mobile in the course
the coming season.
We understand that Miss Logan is making care
full study of the part of Neg Asrriliss, in "Guy
Mannering" and that Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the
author of that admirable domestic novel, Fashion
and Famine" is engaged in preparing drama
founded thereupOn expressly for Miss Logan, to be
ready for representation in thefall Mr.. Benedict,
New York writer, is also writing a play for her.
Miss Logan has so many friends in the Southwest
that We have thought these brief notes of her
whereabouts and what-abouts would be interest
ing to them.

GEN. G.. P. SMITH.

We learn that this gentleman has been rendered
a position at Washington, as head of an important
bureau He has felt constrained to decline this
position Had he accepted it, the Government would
have h ad no more useful, energetic, and competent
officer and certainly member of our party in this
State more richly deserved the compliment. And
yet, richly endowed is Gen. SMITH, with all the
qualities which make the TRUE Mana democrat
"in whom there is guile we have no regrets to
utter that he declines high position elsewhere, and
rather rejoice that we not to lose him from Ten

N1sEvtLs, August /, 1881
MEssR.s EDiToRs Allow me spaeein the columns
OfyOur valuable journal to inform my felOw-citizens
that have withdrawn from the canvass for Con-
sress; as well as make some explanations for my
course. Ny reasons for doing are plain and JUS
tifable. 1t would be ungenerous in me to oppose
the democratic nominee in this district relying as we
both do upon democratic and old line whg votes for
our election. In Mr.. Quarles we have noble champ
ion-one that can measure arms successfully with
their bodest knights either upon the busting or the
floor Of Congress, and one every way calculated TO
reflect honor upon our country-One that has al
ready made his competitor, the great thinker and
statesman) quake with fear and apologize to his
misrepresented constituents for his vacillating
course in Congress heretofore. With these lights
before me, how could oppose him?
have heard that it is whispered will support
Mr. HattOn and the Know Nothing ticket through
out-which report must here pronounce q willful
and unmitigated falsehOod, and now proclaim my
intention to support Gen. Harris and the democratic
nominees, from the fact that / believe them more
competent to promote the interest Of our country
and hand down our institutions unsullied to our
children, and notwithstanding my predictions to
the wing party while led by the sage of Ashland.
The present "BOb tailed" Know Nothing society
cannot lead me astray by their syren song of Dis
trbution for it is question long since rocked to
sleep in the cradle of the Whig party, and only
aroused by the loud notifications and the dying wall
of one long fed from the public Treasury and only
kept awake by the vigorous flashing of the Know
Nothing leaders trap wherein to catch some of the
lovers of the immortal Clay.
With these explanations, fellOW-citizens, with
draw my name frem the canvass and can but express
the hope that you will as freemen unbiased by party
prejudices, cast your votes as you think best for
your couutry's good. To the democracy look for
q safe delverence of our Ship of State, with port
of prosperity and future happiness for know their
policy is wise and strong, and their strength is COM
mensurate with their policy. Upon the other hand
admitting the Southern wing of the egotistically
styled American Party to be sound in their policy
their strength at the North has been engulphed in
the deep, dark ocean Of abolitionism.
Yours, &C., N. SINGLETON.

VICE PRESIDENT BREoKNRIDGE.--The correspon-
dent the New York Observer, sIreneus, who has
been making a tour in the South and West, was
lately present on hymeneal occasion at Lexington
KY, where he met with the Vice President, and thus
describes, his person, manners and domestic rela-
tons:
John c. Breckenridge, Vice President of the
United States was one of the guests at the wedding
The rough portraits of him that stared every body
in the face last fall give but poor likeness of this
extraordinary man. who, at youthful period of life
unexampled has been called to preside over the most
august body of men in this country. His form is
tall, erect and commanding, his countenance grave
and thoughtful, his manners smooth and graceful
and his conversation indicates sober, intelligent
and thinking man. With lovely and accomplished
wife and sweet children he resides in modeet cot
tage, but story high, shaded deeply with old
trees; little way out of town. | could not but ad-
mire the simplicity of republican institutions,
when saw that this great people have come to this
empowered cot to find a man to preside over its
Senate and perhaps to fill its chair of State"

LOOK TO YOUR CANDIDATES FOR THE LEG
STATURE

We make our last appeal in behalf of the Demo-
cratic candidates for the Legislature in the close
counties. We again tell friends that the Know
NOtkings will sacrifice their candidates for Governor
and for Congress to get votes for their Legislative
candidates Their organization and their efforts
have looked mainly to the securing majority in
the Legislature. They are organized They hope
to carry Cannon, DeKalb, and Stewart by surprises
on election day. Watch every where, Democrats,

pd5- The following is merited compliment to
of the best kept houses in the Southern country
THE "CRUTCHFIELD HOUSE" in this city is now
filed up pretty constantly with visitors to the Look
out Mountain, near this city-the White Springs,
in Montgomery county, Va, and other places of
summer resort. We are pleased to know that the
enterprsing proprietors of the 'tCrutchfeld House
have nearly completed their new, extensive addi-
tional buildings, which will afford them about twice
as much room, and enable them to entertain COM
fortably larger crowd than any other hotel in
East Tennessee. The great and increasing travel
to and through Chattanooga, demands such an
Enlistment, and under the general supervision of
Tom Crutchfeld, it fail give satisfaction
as heretofore, and prosper more abundantly.-Chat-

DEPENDENCE OF ENGLAND UPON THE UNITED
STATEs.-At late public meeting in Manchester,
England to devise some means to increase the cot
ton supply of the world, one of the speakers told
his British audience some very plain truths:
Alderman Mason said the first bag of cotton was
imported into England from America in 1884. The
consumption in England at that time was 10000, 900
pounds, 100000 pounds of which came from the
British West Indies and the French and Dutch pos
sessions in that part of the world, and 5,OOO,00O
from Turkey and Smyrna whence we now receive
none at all. The consumption was now 900, 600 600
pounds, 700, 900 work people were engaged in the
trade and population of from 900 900 to 1000,
600 was indirectly dependent upon it. At this mo-
ment there were 100000 spindles and 100000
looms at work, or there would be that number but
for bad trade. In 1845 there were, in the various
ports of this country, a stock of cotton equal to
about thirty nine weeks consumption, and at the
close of 1857 it had dWindled down to about twelve
weeks consumption. Four-ffths of the entire sup
ply of cotton came from America, and was slave
grown.
