HnN- ANnRFW EWING

The favorable manner in which this gentleman
was spoken Of in various portions Of the State, pre-
vious TO the meeting Of our Gubernatorial Conven-
ton, as a suitable person to as the Democratic
candidate for Governor, was highly complimentary
to him and gratifying to his large circle Of political
and personal friends It was known before the
meeting of the Convention that q majority Of our
party we're favorable to the selection Of candidate
from a different division of the State. With that
expression Of opinion no one will more cordially &c
ouiesce and cooperate than Mr.. EWING himself
In the course Of our recent proceedings in the
Convention, DR.. WINSTON, as one of the delegates
from Davidson county, the immediate home Of Mr..
EwING, took occasion on behalf Of that gentleman,
and in his necessary absence, to return thanks
for the expression of regard and confidence thus
made in his behalf in various portions Of tie
State-congratulating the democracy upon the har-
mony and general good feeling that had character
lied our proceedings, and pledging the support Of
Mr.. EwINe to the distinguished gentleman selected
as our bearer, with the same zeal and ear
nesness Of purpose that has heretofore character
lied his political life The appropriate and well
timed remarks Of Dr. WINSTON awakened 3 cordial
and generous response in the breast of every Dem
Ocrat present.
1t was from feelings thus awakened that the rep.
resentatives Of the entire democracy united in one
voice, with the immediate delegates from this Con
gressional district, in earnestly requesting Mr.
EWING to bear our standard and make the contest
for us in the approaching race for Congress. Such
a request, prompted by such motives and under
such circumstances, and which we have every evi
dence for believing will be repeated by the Congress
sional Convention soon to assemble at GAINESVILLE
conveys a compliment that it would be difficult fol
any to refuse, and especially one of the liberia
impulses and tried devotion to Democracy of AN.
DREW Ewing.
We make allusiOn to these pleasing incidents Of
our recent State Convention in connection with Mr.
Ewing, from the fact that they were unintentonally
omitted by the secretaries in their hurried draft
the proceedings Of that body, which we did not no
tice the time and which we have since very much

KNOW NOTHING CANDIDATES.

The Kramer Of yesterday contains a letter from
Maj. HENRY to the committee appointed to inform
him Of his nomination as the Know Nothing candi-
didate for Congress in this district Edeclining the
compliment rendered him.
The letter is prepared in the regular Eagle Orator
style, and expresses the regret that the nomina-
ton did fall on one of the three gentlemen whose
Just claims TO the office had been canvassed before
the people Of the district" This, we think, CON
ficts with the letter of the committee informing him
Of his nomination in which they say that the chOOs
ing Of Maj. HENRY as their candidate for Congress-
'renews the pledge Of the party to y cardinal doc
trine that the office should seek the man. -
The Major further says: a painful duty-the
most painful have ever been called upsn to per-
fOrm-compels me to decline this nomination SO en-
Enthusiastically bestowed I was taken wholly by
surprises had no foreshadowing of such result
and within the last twenty days. have entered into
business engagements that viii require my close and
undivided attention during the whole Of this spring
and approaching summer. "
We hope viii be allowed to sympathise with Maj
Henry in the pain which he experiences in being
compelled, by engagements entered into "within
the last twenty days, to decline the honor. Up TO
within these last twenty days he weuld no doubt
have jumped al such proposition.
Who now shall be the nominee is a matter Of ex-
citing interest VIII the Office still seek the man, or
the man the Office
- The Banner announces, by authority that J.
B. WHITE, Esq, viii serve in the State Senate, if de-
sired by the Know Nothing party that he should be
their candidate. That he is a gentleman of ez-
tensiye legal knowledge and experience and of en-
larged and liberal views" A correspondent in the
Patriot suggests Gen. SAu'L P. AMEST for the same
position. The correspondent says: "Mr. AMENT
has long held the first rank in his art No man has
done than he to elevate and bring into favor
able consideration the various branches Of mechan-
ism" Here is a struggle between law and mechan-
ism-between the elements of Wing Know-Nothing-
ism and Democratic Know -NOthingsm We predict
a similar result to that of the Congressional en-
broylio in this district The Patriots correspondent
further suggests ENoCH CoNNELL and WILLIAM G.
BREN, Esqs., for the House. 1t is evident that in
Davidson county, at least the offices are seeking the
men, and not the men the Offices.

THE ANIMAL FAST

Al the request of one of our wholesale dry-goods
merchants, now in the city of Boston, we publish
the following extract in relation TO the Annual
Fast" in the State of Massachusetts. Asst is taken
from staunch democratic paper and is sent by an
" oldline whig it gives US the greater pleasure to
circulate it.
"a custom as old and as universal as anything
connected with man. FAST is appointed for to-day.
1t means season of abstinence from food reli-
grous modification and humiliation. This done
in all antiquity by Christian and Pagan: for the
Egyptians, the Chinese, the jews the Pythagorians
all had their fasts. Indeed the Chinese when they
feared inUndatiOn earthquake, did pretty
much as the Puritan fathers of New England did
when they saw the corn change color as though it
would die, and saw the bean run not up winding
TO their w0nted manner. " Fasts were appointed by
both to avert the calamity.
There is need Of genuine fast now-general re
lection, and modification, and humiliation. Massa-
chusets is under political blight The grand, old
fraternal spirit that mbued and stirred the born
American nationality has lost its power here in is
commonwealth a shallow fanatic disuniOnism is
abroad undermining the foundations Of American
greatness, and power, and glory; and let the I'm
ion slide men honored and bear rule. These
men no longer regard the American Union as a Provi-
dental institution the noble American fathers
gardedit but they boldly speak Of it as guilty
compromise with slavery. And this days pulpits
will Polico- cergymen even hard at work in this
traitorous line, forming public sentiments to destroy
institutions that have conferred priceless blessings
Now, indeed is a time for a patriotic citizen to
fast. Let him hope for good results to-day that
a special Providence filled the withered stalk and
rekinde decayed life, in the olden time so now it
may come in its full power to chase away the evil
genii that have got possession Of affairs, and allow
the patriotic Influences of the earlier and better days
of Massachusetts to work their restorative work.

THE COMET AND THE WEATHER.-The Louisville
Journal thinks there can be question but that the
Perturbed state of the weather, which has for
weeks set at naught meteorological calculations, is
produced if not directly at any rate indirectly, by
the huge comet which is now whzzing through space
directly toward our small planet. Similar changes
Of the climate have been observed before during the
passage Of comets near the earth The comets of
1886 is said to have brought with it dense and IN
pleasant fog which lasted for twenty-One days. that
Of 1926 was accompanied by heavy rains and conse-
quent foundations, and every must remember the
unusually cold and severe wether prevalent at the
time Of the appearance of the brilliant comet Of
March l848. The comet now approaching the earth
is that Of Charles V, which frsl appeared in perehe
lion, in 1854 1t may be seen in a clear evening
near Sagittari, and is evidently nearing the earth
with great rapidity. Its passage across our orbit
its possible collision, may produce very important
and extraordinary geographical changes. There
be doubt that its meteorological effects are al
ready becoming evident

GEN. HASKELL STILL A CANDIDATE FOR THE
NOMINATION.

NOMINATION..
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer continues to
urge the claims Of this gentleman for the nomina-
ton for Governor regardless of the prevalent oppn-
ion that he is Ineligible.
A recent correspondent of the Eagle and Enquirer
writing from Gibson county, applaudes the course
Of that paper and stiks back at those who are dis
posed to crush out Gen. HAsKELL's pretensions to
the nomination. lie says:
Il was highly pleased, as were almost all of our
party hereabOuts, to that you were bold enough
TO back the claims of Gen. Haskell for the nomina-
ton. Equally sorry / am to observe disposition
the part of some papers-his old neighbors, too
20 throw cold water upon his prospects, rather
on the prospects Of our party. For, after so many
manifestations of his being the choice Of a majority,
any attempt, however insidiOUs, to fOment jealousy,
OF create divisions of sentiment, must dampen the
feelings and cloud the hopes Of the American and
Wing parties
why It that our friends are afraid to instruct
or at least recommend their delegates theman of
their choice. Our opponents have not failed in any
instance TO do this in county conventions. 1t can
not be for lack of ample information as to the most
available man; for all who read have seen the un-
mlstakeablc evidence. Go outamongth the masses-the

TERRIBLE OUTRAGE ON A JEW.

The Koaigs5srg Gazette relates the following dis
graceful affair:
1.-THE son Of a Jew tradesman of Guttstadt, in
Eastern Prussia having lately terminated his ap-
premiership to a furrier, gave on the occasion a
grand banquet 10 all the master furriers After the
wine had been drunk; the conversation turned on the
crucifxion Of Christ and the guests, regardless of
the consideration due to their host, insisted that
he was responsible for the crime Of his ancestors.
One of them at length proposed that as a punish
ment, the young man should undergo the operation
of having cross cut on his person. The proposition
was adopted withapplause, and the young man, in
spite of a desperate resistance, had cross cut
deeply in his haunch. He would probably have
been further iltreated if byan almost superhuman
excise Of strength he had not broken from his
assailants and rushed into the street. There he
fell senseless, and wascOnveyed to his own house
Medical assistance was procured fOrhim, but there is
little hope of saving him. His cOwardly assailants
all of whom occupy arespectabe position in society,"
were arrested and sent to Hellsberg to take their
trial"

TIE CuBA sueAR CRor.-A letter from Havana

THE CUBA SUGAR CRoP.-A letter from Havana
to the New York Times, dated April 9, says
1t is now pretty well acknowledged that the sugar
crop in this island will be shorter at least by one
fifth than last years. Interested parties are doing
their best conceal the TRUTH but the time is fast
approaching when the official statements must be
published. large number of estates have already
finished grinding, particularly in the vicinity of
Mantanzas. Throughout the whole island the cane
has been more or less injured by the strong winds
and excessively hard rains. In addition to these
calamities, the heavy frosts bit the young growth
l have heard, also, that the yield has been quite
small, compared with that of previous years. to such
an extent that many of the estates have made at
least thirty per cent less than last year This has
had the effect of raising prices to the present
bitant standard, from which they will not abate.

proved of and strongly recommended l can say
that l am planting my entire crop with his ma
chimes in style not heretofore equaed by the best

il deposits seed in a drill will, in my esti-
nation, reduce the labor in after cultivation near
twenty per cent.
