been expected for some time, We hear,
that James Shields will be recalled from
his Sabine farm and offered the bureau
of Military Affairs by his old friend, the
President. The Times argues still for
British interests from the men who sur
round his Excellency.
We cannot but look with hope to an
administration of such brilliant promise.
Even were Mr.. Buchanan not of Irish
blood Or sympathies, we have an inte-
rest in the States commensurate withthe
fact that millions of our race are dwell
ing in those dominions-an interest
which makes it almost as important a
question for u to stndy the Chief of the
Executive at Washington, as the Prem
Ter in Downing street. That his rule
may be prosperous and courageous, and
that in his day more stars may culmi-
nate in the armament of the Union, is
the prayer of many honest hearts in
James B~uchanan's fatherland.

San Francisco is one really substantial
step forward i'll the path of genuine pro-
gress, and the encouragement Congress
has given to it will be more than repaid,
anon, by bringing us on the Atlantic
shores in close communion with our
co~untrymen on the Pacific; a new and
strong link in the chain of Union
Another step in the same direction is
the Senate's amendment to the Postof-
ice Appropriation Bill, to establish a
regular coach mail between the Missis-
sippi[ River and San Francisco. The
Postmaster General is authorized to con-
tract at his option for either a monthly,
semi-monthly or weekly mail across the
plains, by the most feasible route, tax
ing one or the other of the two wagon
roads just established by Congress. For
the monthly service $780, 900 was appro-
priated; for the scmi-monthly $780,
900, and for the weekly 5000, OOO. Cal
ifornia influence has been brought
strongly to bear on this amendment,
but as the country at large is just as
much interested as California, we shall
be sorry to learn that it has been
retained.

AMERICAN WAToHEs-Tt is no generally kaown
that watches of American manufacture are
now coming into extensive use. They are
characterized by several features OF special PEI
cuiarity. The first of these is the absence OF
the fusee and chain. These parts, which were
very necessary for equalizing the force IN The
old verge watch, are continued by the English
in the modern lever watch, bat in the swiss
watches, which perform so excellently, nosuch
parts exist. The second feature is such an ar
rangemeut of the parts as to lessen the !iabiii-
ty of the watch to stop from the pressure OF
foreign substances, and at the same time to
faeilitate the discovery ofany cause ofderange-
ment, almost the entire tram being fully open
10 view. The third and Distinguishing feature
is the principle ofsmaking every watch and
every part the duplicate Of every other. This
plan has been so far adhered to that every
movement will fit every case, and many parts
can be transferred from watch to watch with
out alteration. Any deficiencies in the carry
ing out of this principle are in great part rem
edied by a system of registration at the fac
tory,

The Americans of Bedford met last Sat
urday to nominate candidates for the Leg
islature. The meeting, as we learn from a
private source, was harmonious and unani-
nous in its action. Henry Cooper Esqr.,
was nominated for Bedford proper, and T.
p. Ivey for the floating district of Ruther-
ford and Bedford. There is no conflict
whatever among our friends in these coun-
ties, and they authorize us to count upon
success as certain. We hope our friends
every where will follow so worthy an ex-
ample.
The meeting also adopted resolutions
unanimously recommending Col. Martin
for Governor, and instructing their dele
gates to vote for him.

u NASHVILLE:
TUESDAY, APRIL "A, 1857.

There has been proposition before the
N. Y, Legislature to amend the constitu-
ton Of that State so as to allow the free
negro population the right of voting. The
N. Y. Mirror, Black Republican journal,
in advocating the measure, argues that the
free negro population has as good right
to vote as the multitudes offoreigners, who
are found every year puuctually at the
polls. Our neighbors seize this proposition
on the part of the Mirror, and base this
sort of an argument upon it: The black
republican press at the North and the
know nothing press at the South are equal
ly bitter in their denurciations of the for
eign population, and evidently for the same
reason, that is, because they do not vote
to suit them. The democracy, on the 9TH
er hand, stand like at all promontory be-
tween two raging seas, against which the
waves dash harmlessly-and therefore the
better part Of the foreign population unite
with and support the democracy, as the
party of the people" In the estimation of
the Mirror, the negroes of New York have
about as much right to vote as any other
class of people, and it is arguing in favor of
the proposed amendment to extend to them
the privileges of voting. This, our neigh
bors construe into a HdenunciationD of for
eigners. The Mirror is openly in favor of
negro snfrage-and by regarding the two
as equal in rights-and in capacity, the ar
gument is as much in favor of the one as
the other. If the foreigners can gain as
much favor in the opinions of the black re-
publicans as the negroes have, they may
rest assured their rights are secure. In the
language of our neighbors, "such twaddle
does not rise to the dignity of respectable
nonsense"l

swimming shall be taught on the latest and most

encouragement he will have building whore he
will have a large bath. about so feet square, the
water in which, during the cold weather, will be
heated by steam. Mr.. Siedenburss theory il,
that it will require from two weeks to three months
according to the capacity Of the learner to acquire
knowledge sufficient to give one full command
Of oneself in deep water. The bath on certain days
will be appropriated to the of the ladies', when
competent female teachers will be present. Swim
ming is an art Of which every man should have a
knowledge, as being Que which may not only prove
of use to himself but also affords him the means
Of healthul recreation.
