GENTLEMEN: Your note Of the 18th instant,
advising me Of my nomination as one of the
candidates to represent the county of Shelby
in the lower branch of the next Legislature,
by the Democratic Convention, and requesting
my acceptance, was received this morning. In
reply thereto, Ihave to say that the nomination
was not sought by me. Ihsve never been an
a~spirant for political preferment, and but for
the important interests of the county of Shelby
and the city Of Memphis, dependent upon the
action Of the next Legislature, nothing could
induce me to engage in a contest for the
position.
The Convention having kindly designated
me for the position, l am not at liberty to de-
cline its nomination. and accept the same with
a pledge that, should 1 be elected, every effort
shall be made on my part to promote the inter-
ests Of my constituency.
Very Tespectfuliy,

VIRGINIA D%EMocRATIc STATS CoNvESTIoN.
The Democratic State Convention Of Virginia,
to nominate a candidate for Attorney General,
assembled at Richmond on Wednesday last. J.
RANDOLPH TUCKER, Esq, was nominated
on the first ballot. The Richmond Eaquirer
says:
"The Democratic Convention which assem-
bled yesterday was most respectable in number
and character. The finest spirit Of haTmeny
universally prevailed. We have merely time
to say that, on the first ballot, J. r. Tucker,
ESQ.,, of Frederick, was nominated as the can
didate for Attorney General, and his nomination
was Immediately made unanimous. While
much diversity Of sentiment Fas manifested in
a choice between SO many eminent members of
the bar, 80 soon as a choice was made every
one cheerfully yielded bis hearty assent to the
action Of the convention. OF MIR. fuckers
election we have not the least doubt. He is
too well known throughout Virginia for to pass
a word Of eulogy upon mis- talents, virtues, and
genuine political integrity. Although very
young, he has made his mark upon public his
tory and his triumphant election and faithful
discharge Of the duties of his new and honsra-
bic Office will wind new ~laurels around his

~Coznurisations from Mt. Dallas Relati7e 70
the Rejection Of his Traatv

the Rejection Of bis Treaty.
From the gasaingt0n States Nay II
The statement which has appeared 10 some
Of the newspapers at the Norln. that the gov
pondence between Dir. Dallas and Lord Clar-
endon, on the subject of the rejection Of the
treaty, is erroneoDs- No correspondence took
pllee on The subject. Mr.. Dallas, by the pre-
vious packet, communicated 10 the Secretary Of
State a statement Of a conversation with Lord
Clarendon, in which the latter stated oblec-
tions to the treaty in its ame1ced form. There
was no written correspondence, nor anything
more than a verbal Conversation on the subject.
Il is true, as stated, that Lord Napier com
municated some passages from a dispatch re-
ceived from Lord Clarendon, 70 the same effect
with the Conversation above referred TO. Lord
/ Napier added a proposition for reopening a ne
gotiation for the adjustment Of the only pend
Ing dificUlty-that is, the Bay Islands cues
ton. But the President has declined this fol
the present.
It is probable that, before the meeting Of
Congress, the Executive Government will de-
eide whether to attempt to revive the extinci
treaty, OF get rid Of the ClsytOn-Bulwer treaty
altogether. Perhaps they may be guided b
public opinion on the question. and also By thl
course Of events. So far as public sentiment
has been expressed on the question, it is in IA
yor Of the abrOgatiOn Of the CiaytOn-Bulwe
treaty, and against the renewal Of any stipu
~latiOns in regard to Central American matters
This treasY was entered into in 1855, for ID
reason that, al that time, it was believed to b
necessary to obtain the guaranty OF ERgians
and the United States for the security of an,
isthmian transits, in order 10 induce capitalist
to invest their money in them. The canal thel
contemplated, through the NicaTaguan istbmus
has never been undertaken. The British CON
pany that was formed for the purpose absn
doned the project, upon the suggestion, BY Nj
Joshua BITES, that TIE Monroe doctrine would
one day, be practically enforced by TIE Unite
States, and that foreign establishments in Mica
ragua would be insecure.
The Clsyton-Bulwer treaty may be annulle
By mutual consent, or upon notice BY eiths
party.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.

Som hardy ANNALS msyyet be grown, but
it is rather late. If you do not wish to take
up your dubious root, (by which method they
often are lost in this climate, unless properly
attended to- give them a heavy mulching and
let them stand in the ground until September,
when they may be taken up, divided, and
planted again. When even the dahlias stop
blooming, cut them down to the ground, and
give them a good watering and a heavy mulch /;
they will soon sprout and bloom anew. Apply
liquid manure occasionally to all your choice
flowers. Roses should now be budded and
layered-fumigate green fly upon the rose
and other plants, with tobacco smoke to
destroy the aphis- Gather ripe flower seeds
in dry weather. Use water freely among
your flowers whenever It is necessary, and
do not disappoint the plants and yourself BY
giving them a little sprinkling, but give a
thorough soaking whenever you do give them
a watering. Rain water is BY farthe best.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Adviceshave been
received here in regard to the recent expedition
Of DR.. Caldwell, Of the u. s. sh!p Independsnce,
to the Isthmus Of Darisn. The statement Of
DR.. Caldwell is highly interesting and impor-
tsnt. 1t veri6es the views and facts heretofore
presented by the English civil engineer, Mr..
Osborne, in regard to the practicability Of a
canal between the waters OF the two oceans
across the Isthnus of Darien- It. Strain, on
the part of this government, was sent to the
isthmus in 1853 to act in conjunction with Eng
lish engineers in a survey Of this interocesnic
route.
The expedition failed. Lieutenant Strain
and his party barely escaped with their lives
from the perils of the expedition. The report
made Of the result, by Lieut.. Strain, viii be
found in the navy report for 1874. He pro-
nouncedth the route TO be imPraeticsble by reason
Of the immense grades to be overcome. But
DR.. Caldwell proceeded far enough from the
Pacific side to obtain a view OF the Atlantic,
and states that the route is perfectly well adapt
ed to canalization. The report Of DR.. Caid-
well viii give a fresh impulse to an investiga-
tion of this important question
1t has been strongly rumored for several
DAYS that the werk Of rotation is to
in the executive Offices here this OF the next
week. A list Of the names Of persons marked
for rotation-not upwards but outwaIds-has,
it is said, been exhibited here. ION.

Nicaragua AGairs--The Election lois
Appointments.


WASHINGTON, Nav 2.-Capt Davis. of the ST
Marys, in recent official dispatches to the gov.
eminent, says it was the opinion of those who
had better means of knowing than himself that
a month before they were written, Walker could
have at any moment passed the enemy's lines
and maintained himself in the open country
Since that time the assertions have been so num-
erous and frequent, and their effect so demoralz-
ing, that towards the end ofAprl the only resort
left Walker to cut his way down to the coast
and take refuge, POSSIBLE on board the schoon-
er Granada According to the best intelligence
such an attempt would only have been the last eff
fort of despair, and would have terminated fatally
in less than five miles from Rivas The time
therefore, had arrived for determining on the
course to be pursued in the case anticipated in the
instructions of January last--that was in the
event OF the expulsion of Walker and his forces
from Nicaragua by the allied army, and his de-
parture to the adjacent territory in Central Amer
lea, for the purpose of hostile and aggressive on
erations.
The reason assigned by Capt Davis for seizure
Of the schooner Granada, is that the vessel had
lost her nationality, and was belligetent. and
should not therefore pass his guns.
The city is quiet, though there is much bad
feeling. The Light ARTILLERY is still here. There
are no signs OF a renewal of the disturbance
Major Culloch has agein emphatically declined
the Governorship of Utah. A selection will
probably be made in a few days, when the vacant
Judgeship in the territory will be filed Az
measures adopted with view to the effective
organization of the administrative machinery.
The President has appointed Jos. A. Wright
OF Indiana, Minister TO Berlin, in place of Mr.
Vroome recalled at his own request Henry q
