Knew NOTHING eASDibA4Es ron GOVERNOR
There are now but four Know Nothing candidates
for Governor in the United States. In Massaehu-
setts they have nominated Banks, the notorious
Black Republican Speaker of the last Congress, and
denominate him the candidate of the {" Americans
and Republicans" In Pennsylvania they have nomi-
mated David Wilmot, the notorious Abolitionis and
author Of the Wilmot PrOviso. He also is denomi-
mated the American and Republican" candidate.
John c. Clyde, President of the Pennsylvania State
Council, has issued card addressed +" To all true
Americans" in which he says:
"The tone and temper of the American press
throughout State indicate that the union move
rnent is complete and perfect in all its parts and
that the Americans and Republicans, occupying the
same platform and ralying under the same banner,
viii present solid front to the Romish and Slavery
battalions, and march onward to certain victory.
The right spirit is abroad and all attempts to dis
tract and divide the Opposition will prove abOr-
tive.p 81 .l.5l- .a--s q
In Missouri, ROllinsis the regular KnOw-NOthing
nominee. By whom he is supported may be judged
from the following paragraph in the Neae Era, the
Abolition organ at Washington: ---f
atm CAMPAIGN IN MIssoURI-The canvass for
Governor IN Missouri is growing warm. The So
called Democracy allied with the Border Runan IN

Slavery in his opinions and tendencies.
g The Opposition forces IN this STATE, including
EmanelpdtiOnists and americans, support Colonel
Rollins. '.'.r...'-'-.' ''s-'.'--'.-...-.-.
'Col. Rollins is known to be in favor of making
Kansas free State and it is stated that he is also
in favor of making Missouri free"
There is one other Know Nothing candidate yet
to be mentioped-Robert Hatton, of Tennessee.
There being no Black Republican party in Tennes
see Mr.. Hattop denominates himself the candidate
Of the american and Whig" party. These four
worthless, Banks, WilmOt, Rollins, and HaltOn have
all taken the same osths, are pledged to the same
proscrptve principles and are canvassing their re-
spective States making great noise about "that in
famous doctrine, alien suffrage" Let these things
be constantly borne in mind and circulated freely
among the people.

FIFTH. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
MILTON, August l, 1856

hIIbN, august Is 1901.
Mr.. EDITOR Col. Guild has this day closed a
brilliant canvass in Rutherford county. He has
done noble service for the democratic party in this
Congressional District. His bold and peculiar man
ner of speaking, his sledge hammer blows, inter
spersed with his fine anecdOtry, his ready wit, has
completely overwhelmed the stately and digniHed
Ready. No one, with proper respect Cor himself,
would receive the lashing that Col. Ready and his
Know Nothing party receive daily at the hands of
Col. Guild, for seat in Congress.
honestly believe that Col. Guild will overcome
the majority in this district, and that Gen. Harris
with Guild will gain 600 or 200 votes over the last
election.
I will take the space of giving you one of Guilds
hits. Ready in debating the Distribution humbug
on one occasion exclaimed: Sic RO1eo, sic JU6eO."
Col Guild in reply said ''Col Ready announced to
his sworn followers Sic Bonco, SIC JlbsO' What
does that mean? Why it is one of his Know Nothing
signs. The English of which is Cry out Distribu-
ton, and cover up this Know-NOthing thing. Alb
Col Ready, distribution is the fig leaf you throw
over this horrible thing, and ever patriot should tear
it away and leave it exposed"
There never has been battle in Tennessee but
Guild has been foremost in the fight. He is one
of the best popular speakers in this State, and the
time has arrived when the people will reward him
for his great services. I. K. II.

y
kfs- DtANiseToN THE Hon. H. Z. TURKEY died
efcOngestiOh about o'clock, p n, on Saturday, the
istinst. He had spent the day in town attending
to his business in Circuit Court About 81 o'clock
he left for his home % miles distant in his usual
health. His son, Peter Turney, and some other
gentlemen attending court, walked with him about
haifa mile; when he left them in unusual fine spirits.
About half amle frOmthat point he was found by one
of mis- neighbor,s negro boys sitting by tree. He
told the negro he was SICK to take one of his mules
from his wagon, and take him home. He went
about half mile, and told the boy to take him downs
he thought he should die. The boy took him down,
and galloped to his house short distance to give
the alarm. A gentleman walking on the farm ran
to him in time TO him breath his last, but too
late for him to speak. Thus suddenly has another
of Tennessee's great men been cut off.
Mr.. Turney has occupied large space in the
politics of Tenn. He served in the lower house of
Congress think six years. Canvassed the State
at large as elector for Mr.. Polk, in 1874. Was
elected to u S. Senate for six years in 1885, where
he served the South with zeal and single hearted
ness worthy her highest admiration. He occupied
no doubtful position any question. Knowing
his boldness and frmness, he was made chairman of
the Caucus of Southern Senators in lS4950, on the
Compromise measures of 1850. As such the Min
uies .of that body fell into his hands He told the
writer Ofthis short time since, that the Minutes of
that body should soon be published. l hope his
Executor will still have them published, as it
must be matter of great interest to the South to
read the proceedings of that great body of Senators
commuping with themselves upon their rights, His
position upon these questions was defeated both in
Congress and before the people. But it source
of great satisfaction him the last year two to
see that the whole South had come up to his high
ground upon the slavery question. "NO COmprO-
mise with Abolitionism."
His bold, unfinching course upon all questions,
made him warm friends who loved him with devo-
ton rarely exhibited Asamatter of course it made
him bitter enemies. He leaves most estimable
wife, and eight interesting children, with large
number of friends that deeply mourn his sudden
death Court has just met and adjourned in token of
respect for the deceased. FRANKLIN.

OUR COUNTY AND DISTRICT.

The Democracy of Davidson are persistently I'M
just to their own county candidates Regarding
the contest generally hopeless they take pains to
the full vote efthe party for those VINO become
candidates. We hope that, in this election, such
carelessness will be manifested Our candidates
all deserving of our best exertions in their behalf
They have made energetic, and able canvass,
and it is as little certainly the Democracy can do
TO give them the full vote of the party
For Congress, the chance is far from hopeless.
The people of the district remember that there have
been only two Know-Nothings elected in all the
United States thus far to the next House. That
society can only hope for fifteen or twenty in the
full House. Should Gen. ZOllicofer succeed in this
district he will be of this feeble minority, pow
erless to accomplish anything for good unless he
joins the Democracy. Surprising him to be willing
do his best it is still better for this district to
have for its Representative a member of that only
great national party which is able to guide and
preserve the country. 1t is difficult just now to
decide whether Know -Nothingsm in the next Con-
gress will be most odiOus or contemplate. The
metropolitan district of Tennessee ought to share
neither in the Odium contempt, by adding one
TO the fifteen twenty of the poor feeble faction
which may count that number.
Besides, Mr. QUARLEs, our candidate for Con-
gress for his own merits, is entitled to our best
efforts in his behalf tomorrow. His character and
talents, as well as his oft-repeated and valuable
services demand the recognition of vote by every
opponent of Know Nothingism. He one of
those who breasted the first storm of that wreched
faction, when it seemed omnipotent for evil, and
helped to roll it back as a cloud of confusion on
its wicked and foolish inventors. We ask every
Democrat in the district to remember this, and to
give him the gratitude of vote and an effort.
Our candidate for joint representative, R. W.
HAYWOOD, is also well known to the democracy of
the district as one of those gallant Old-line Wings
who came to the rescue of the State when Sam was
in the first flush of his arrogance and apparent
power. Since that hour, he has CALAMITY con-
tested every field where Know Nothing was to be
met and has been ready for any labor or sacrifice
which the cause could demand of him. 1t is but
sheer Justice that every anti Know Nothing vote
which goes into the balOtbo1 in this representative
district should have his name on it.
For Davidson county, Mr.. SAMUEL A. DAVIDSON
is the only Democrat who sOlicis the votes of the
people plain hard working, intelligent mechanic,
he has shown himself more than a match on the
stump for the best of his opponents He deserves
to be elected And we doubt not that he will at
least receive every democratic vote.
With the gallant HARRIS for Governor, this
is our ticket. We ask the Democrats Of Davidson
to vote it entire. For our own part, we shall be
sure to see that the ticket is encountered with no
othernames

THE KNOXVILLE CONVENTION.

We are gratifed to observe indications of large
delegation from Virginia to the Southern CONNER
cial Convention at Knoxville Tennessee the 10th
of next month An annual reunion of Southern
gentlemen, for the purpose OF discussing projects
intended for the furthersnce Of Southern interests,
and interchanging sensible sentiments all sorts of
subjects in anywise associated with the welfare of the
slave holding States is emineny desirable and should
always be encouraged and commercially the'press as
well &C literally attended by delegates from every
State on this sdo of the dividing line between the
North and South 1t is true as yet, nothing of very
vast importance owes its origin to any of the South
ern Conventions, but still each has its influence in
educing, attuning and concentrating the sentiment
of the South; in pointing out advantages and ne
cessitiss in directing attention to the weak and to
the strong points Of this section of the Union and
more than all in fostering and cherishng spirit of
Southern independence, free from all disloyaty TO
the Union. Such assemblage at the present juno
ture of affairs-not political but the commercial
affairs of the South-is peculiarly opportune, and
may prove highly advantageous, in forwarding
some one or more of the great schemes for the es-
adjustment of direct trade to Europe from the
waters of Virginia. Hon. A. Dudley Mann, is still
actively engaged in endeavoring to accomplish his
gigantic enterprise; and, though We are not pre-
pared TO say we trust with fattering prospects of
success. And Mr.. Preston's visit to Europe can
not but believe will result at least in exciting
interest on the part Of ship owners in Europe in
cur attractive southern SecLlOn, anu lIS unrlVdeu
ports and harbors. The Convention at Old Point
on Wednesday next, will probably propose some
more practical and expeditions means of proceeding
in aid of hlF. Msnn's project, which, when submit.
ted to the Convention at KNOXVILLE nay enable that
body to adopt or suggest means for speedy olsen
thralment Of the South from its dependence on the
foreign commerce of the North.
We heartily hope that the Knoxville Convention
will be large in numbers as well able in intellect
intelligence and xperience.-Riehmond Eng.

RAILROAD CONNECTION AT AUGUsTA.-The arrange
ment between the South Carolina Railroad on the
one hand, and the city of Augusta and the Georgia
Railroad on the other, has at length been happily
completed. 1t provides that the roads shall run
parallel tracks in a specified street. in the city of
Augusta, thus enabling their respective trains 10
load from common platform without the use of
drayage. The value of this arrangement will soon
be felt as it goes into operation about the 18th of
August. The connection between the two roads,
always SO important has gained additional interest
from the large bulk Of grain that now passes over
them during the summer months. One Railroad
delivers at its depot average of FIVE thousand
bushels of wheat daily, and it is expected that in
short time this average will be doubled. Thus the
transportation Of wheat will be made to fill the
gap in the transportation of cotton His anotherev

HEALTH OF EX-sECRETARY DoBBIN

We regret to learn from the Fayetteville N. C.)
CarcIinian that the health of Ex-Secretary Dobbin
is very precarious at present. He is debiliaed to
an extreme so very weak it is impossible to leave
his chamber. This is, indeed, painful news. Al
though aware (says the Wilmington JOurraD of the
failing state of Mr.. DObbin's health for some two
or three years past, had still cherished the hope
that restoration to the quiet of home, and the en-
ioyment of his native air, might have exercised a
reviving influence. Apart from the natural pride
and interest which the people of the State necessa-
rily feel in those leading men whose course has
added lustre to the esoutcheon of North Carolina,
there is also in Mr.. Dobbins feeling of per-
sonal affection, of respectful sympathy, almost pc
culiar in its character due less to the qualities Of
the head than the hear-a tribute to the kind gen.
teman, even more than to the distinguished wearer
Of merited hOnOrs.

"REMINISCENCES OF NAPoLEoN.-In 1810-that
memorable year when Rome, Amsterdam, Dantzic
Antwerp and Paris were cities of the same proud
empire-Napoleon had brought his young bride to
Brussels, and was received with great enthusiasm
and pomp. On the morning after his arrival, he
reviewed the troops of the garrison in the Alice
Verte and the different regiments defled before
him, remarked grenadier, who bore the chsUroRs of
a sergeant major Tall and erect, his black eyes
blazed, like stars, from face bronZed by twenty
campaigns, while enormous moustache rendered
disappearance still more formidable bizarre When
the line was reformed the Emperor rode up to the
regiment of grenadiers, and called the sergeant to
the front. The heart of the soldier beat nigh and
his cheeks gowed.

name?"
"Noel, SIRE" he answered with faltering voice.
"Were you not in the army of Italy?"
eyes sire; drummer at the Bridge of Arcole."
"And you became sergeant major"
cat MarengO, sire"
But since ?" ...
al have taken my share of all the great battles?"
The Emperor waved his hand, the grenader re-
turned to the ranks, and Napoleon spoke rapidly to
the colonel for a few moments-the quick chances
of his eye towards Noel showing that he talking
of him. He had been distinguished for his bravery
in several battles, but his modesty had prevented
his soliciting advancement, and he had been over
looked in the promotions. The Emperor recalled
him to his side.
"You have merited the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, said he, giving him the one he wore You
are a brave man. "
The grenadier, who at this moment stood between
the Emperor and the Colonel, could not speak; but
his eyes said more than volumes. Napolean made
sign the drums beat a roll, there dead silence
and the colonel turning towards the new knight who
with trembling hands placing his upon his
breast said in loud voice:
In the name of the Emperor, respect Sergeant
Major Noel as sub-lieutenant in your ranks "
The regiment presented arms. Noel seemed in
dream; and only the stern, immovable features of
the Emperor prevented him from falling his knees.
Another sign was made, the drums beat, and again
the colonel spoke:
ain the name of the Emperor, respect Sub-Lieut.
Noel as lieutenant in your ranks. " ....
This new thunder stroke nearly overcame the
grenadier; his knees trembled; his eyes that had
not been moist for twenty years, were filled with
tears and he was vainy endeavOring to stammer his
thanks when he heard third roll of the drums and
the loud voice of his colonel:
elm the name of the Emperor, respect Lieut.. Noel
a captain in your ranks.
After this promotion the Emperor continued his
review with that calm, majestic air, which none who
behed ever forgot but Noel bursting into food of
tears tainted in the arms of his colonel while from
the regiment came loud, united shout Of VtUe y
