81 The following remarks of the Hillsborough
Recorder express own views and feelings on the
subject so well that copy them and adopt them
our own:
"OBIrUARY NoT1cEs.-Some of contemporaries
give notice Of an intention of charging for adver
tisements all obituary notices exceeding ten lines in
length, and for all resolutions Of respect, &C.
We have in no instance made any charge of the
kind, and do not expect to but we have taken the
liberty in many instances of curtai!ing what
sdered the unnecessary length of some of them. In
doing so, we may in some cases, have given offence
to the writer's the friends of the deceased; but
disrespect was intended, nor there any want of
regard to the feelings of the parties concerned We
have been actuated solely by what, the conductor
of public journal, We considered due to our read
ers Writers of obituary notices should reflect that
readers in general, being strangers to the parties,
cannot appreciate their feelings, and will not read
heightened notices with interest. Ten lines will,
except in rare instances, comprehend all that need
be said, or that affection should require"

Mr. Sanders informs the people Of Johnston that
he desires to retire from public life The people of
that County, doubt not, will very readily acqui-

nc certain as that his intention to do so has been

his course distribution, but they will stand by
their principles without regard to men. They have
been engaged for many long years in the noble
work of making their County Democratic and hav-

from the high platform of principle and sacrifice the
fruits Of all their anxieties and labors merely to

The Southern Pacific Railroad Compa-
Since the reorganization of this compa-
ny, and the election of Col. YERGER as its
President, we have heard many enquiries
as to whether books of subscription would
not be opened in this city. To prosecute
successfully work of this magnitude, in
terest and good policy unite, in debating
the securing as extended an influence in
its behalf, as is possible. If the narrow
policy of taking stockholders from one 10
cality or from few, is pursued it will un-
doubtedly operate against the true inter-
estS of the enterprise.
We are gratifed to learn that this course
will not be adopted; but that the immedi-
ate interests of the whole South will be
consulted, and that books will be opened
at several points on the seabord and in the
interior There are many of our citizens
who feel a deep and abiding interest in the
project, and who have sufficient confidence
in its final success, to take stock to large
amounts. We hope therefore that an Or
der will be speedily issued, favoring the
people in this section of the country with
an opportunity to contribute a share in the
construction of this great national highway

From the ShelbyviIle Exposi'or.
Our Nominee for Governor,


We to-day hoist the name OF ROBERT HArroN of
Wilson county our candidate for Governor, he
having received the nomination Of the convention
on the LIST inst, which assembled in Nashville for
the purpose of nominating candidate.
After the declension Of our own distinguished
fellow-citisen, Col Matt. Martin, we know of no
man in Tennessee that we would have preferred to
Mr. Hatton as our candidate. We therefore most
heartily concur in the nomination, ard what little
ability We possess will be earnestly exercised in
his behalf.
The nomination of Mr.. Hatton reminds US forci-
bly of the great Polk and Jones canvass in davs
past That similar result will follow bis nomina-
ton, we have not the slightest doubt for if talent
and integrity requisites to recommend cdndi-
date TO the favorable consideration of the people.
they are certainly combined in an eminent degree
in the person of Mr. Hatton. We therefore repeat
that we endorse his nomination most heartily and
doubt not that il will be received with the same
spirit throughout the State. And now that our can
didate is before the people, able and worthy as he
certainly is, let Us 60 to work for him leaving no
stone unturned that ioay promote his success but
With the same spirit that animated u.s. that glowed
In the bosoms OF the heroes Of 10 go boldly for
ward knowing no such word fail, and we SIN
eerely believe that the same success will crown our
forts as did those ia the days of our early history
We have everything to cheer us, and nothing to
cause Us to despond. The battle is not to the strong
nor the race to the swift. They tell us they have
a heavy majority against u, and that we cannot
overcome il. So we thought IN lS4S, when Ten
nessee went overwhelmingly for Gen. Taylor, yet
the very next Gubernatorial canvass, democracy
overcame our majority and we're victorious. Vic
tory is within our grasp.-Let US put forth our
hands and take it. noble standard-bearer is in
our lead. H. bears our colors with nerves of iron
while they autter in the breeze, surrounded by his
enemies.

Spirit of the Press.

Our American exchanges, from all parts
of the State, come to us, expressing the
highest satisfaction with the action of the
State Convention, in nominating ROBERT
HATToN as our hag-bearer. We have yet
to hear of single note of opposition or
the slightest dissatisfaction Our friends
may feel assured that the selection was
wise and judicious one, and that in the
nominee their highest and most enthusiast
tic expectations will be met and realized
We subjoin few of these expressions, this
morning, being only such as our time and
space will permit:
