CONVERSATION with q Democratic friend, who
staId With ne to-day, be discovered verg singular
fact and asked me to aid hin IN being relie7ed from
the category. -------
The fact is this "a the Attn Of March, 1886, be-
ing one of the buil2ss Of the magnificent mansion
house at Tulip Grove, near the Hsrnitage; himself
together with four otbs- brother carpenters, con-
ceiyed and executed sAe project Of placing in wall
of the building four square bottles, containing
good old peach brandy, then fifteen years old, one
the best old CSgniac one the best old Madeira vine
and the fourth Of the best old rye whisky The
bottles we're so concealed as not 10 be discOverable
to any eye and it was privately but positively agreed
amongst them not to disclose the fact Of the hidden
treasure until after the lapse Of twenty years, when
they we're all to meet and break bottles and eat with
knives and forks.
The time is out and more. Three of the four
carpenters are gone to their long homes. AT the
date Of the transaction, Mr.. A. ]. Donelson, the
then and noe proprietor Of Tulip Grove, was private
secretary to President Jackson, and was sterling
Democrat of the JacksOniau school. All four Of
the builders who hid the bottles N The 10a were and

Now, the category in which ny friend is placed
is this: He wants the privilege Of getting to the
bottles Although twenty-One years have elapsed,
he says he has lively recollection Of the spot where
the deposit was made; that he can lay his hand up
on them in five minutes, by the aid of screw
driver and without the slightest injury deface-

50 THE DISCUSSION AT WINCHEsTER.-After we had
put in type the letter from Winchester, in the Pat
riot yesterday, we received another on the same
subject which it is unnecessary now to print There
is one fact mentioned in it, however, which we
wish to submit to the attention Of our readers
The writer says
'''I deem it proper to state-because the public
ought to know t-that after the aHlicabls adjustment
of the difficulty between the candidates, which was
made before Genl Harris left his room, he rent to
the stand Nth a large pistol placed about his LEFT
breast that nearly ha cTo,0d could distinctly see
it,
Such conduct as this needs no comment"
have no doubt the writer knew the following
facts, and why did he not relate them also? That
Hatton went upon the stand with revolver and two
derringers about his person-that he left his reyolv
er under the head of his bed at the hotel next
ing when he left our town; and why did he not tell
the people that when Harris reached the stand he
found It occupied by Hatton and know nOthings ex-
clusively, each not only armed with weapons but
when Harris arose to speak, each ran his hand in
his bosom, and one jumped up the stand and
made display of himself and pistol to the crowd.
Now if the writer wanted to do the clean thing why
did he not furnish this information! We believe
here that the difficulty was precOncerted by the
know nOthings.
We understand here that the k. ms telegraphed
for fighting men to Nashville and Lebanon. ex-
pect the writer knew all about these things.

AT Ire request Of numerous EsspsCtable sitizsns
We announce Col. James A. Whiteside, candidate
TO represent this county IN the next legislative.
His name is closely connected with az that has
been done FOR Hamilton county for years; and our
people are more deeply indebted % him than to any
other nsaR-liyiRg. arare mint great
business tact and untiring energy, his influence has
been prominent in every work. and every measure,
which has promoted the interest, and advanced the
prosperity Of our people, If & people can be in
debted to one forall Of prosperity and advance
ment they may derive from public Improvements
then the people Of Hamilton are thus indebted to
James A. Whiteside. Who is there that can doubt
that &c viii make a51er and more efficient repre-
sentative than any other man in the county, Of
his election there can be nc doubt The people will
not hesitate to avail themselves Of his services and
mere party viii be lost sight o. in the support Of
man, VINO IN every point Of view, is 50 eminently
qualified 70 serve us. With him as our member our
interests would be most vigilanty guarded and sue
eessfully promoted.-C Chattanooga AdUsrtiser.

ONE WORD MORE.


The much that has been said upon the subject Of
the unpleasant personal difculty between the can
didates for Governor at Fayetteville was not Of our
seeking. We felt all the time that Gen. Harris re-
CURED nothing from his friends but candid state
ment Of facts. We believed him to have been 50
clearly in the right that the general sentiment Of
the country would sustain him.
The only remark that has appeared in our paper
relative to this matter, that We would not repeat
again and again, if necessary, was the expression
nreviousIv referred to, that Col Hatton had "sub-
mind 10 public chastisement" It was this remark,
and this only, that Col Hstton took exception to,
vi be seen by the following extract from the Ban
zsrs own report Of the coIlOquy that took place at
Chattanooga. Col HattOn, says the Banner, read
from the UNION AND AMERICAN of Tuesday, the
,rsfatory remarks to the communication from Fay
etteville, and then said:
haze no remarks to make here upon the eoa7muRiea-
fion ,oEiek touoU5. The part to which disire es-
specially to call your attention and the attention Of
Gen Harris is this eve remark only that
We regret that Mr.. Hatton should have permitted
the premonions Of defeat which he sees everywhere
around him to provoke him to the use Of language
which rendred l. necessary for him 10 submit to
public chastisement."
There are no persons in the State of Tennessee,
remarked Col. Hatton, so well acquainted with the
circumstances attending that difficulty as my com
petitor and myself think great injustice is done
me in the statement which l have just read, and l
here call upon Gen. Harris to state what his opinion
in the matter is.
Gen Harris promptly arose and said 'As lar as
the point to which Col HattOn has called my atten-
ton is concerned have this to say. On the ocea-
sion alluded to I thought the strong language used
bv Col Hatton was intended to apply to me person
aiv and that it would be sOunderstoOd by the crowd
asked respectfully as l thought, if 1t was so In
tended. l was answered by repetition Of the Ian
guage thought had alternative but to pursue the
course did. II Is bat shser justice sag, hOUeUer
that ny competitor manifested disposition to submit
There lgas certainly no Submission has dsHteaROr.
1t viii thus be seen that the charge Of having
50 submitted to chastisement was the point except
ed to, and that Gen1 Harris, at his request, test
fed that his competitor manifested no disposition
70 submit" And upon this, and this only, the edi
tor Of the Banner, in hot haste, telegraphed e
Nashville that 3" Genl Harris repudiated the UNION
AND AHERICAN's statement of the difficulty to-day.
These are the facts We leave the public to de
termine to what unfortunate condition gentlemen
must be reduced when forced to so unwarrantablc

Mr.. F. c. DUENINGToS, Dear Sir: In your paper

candidate to represent the Democracy of Davidson
in the next legislature.
Ihave been absent some three months, and only
two days ago returned home. During my absence
was travelling frequently and receiving the UNION
AND AMERICAN very irregularly; consequently, the
number containing the article missed me, and I was
not aware until my return that my name had been
spoken of in connection with candidates for the leg
islature. understand that, as yet, no nominations
have been made by the Democracy. If it is their
desire that should be a candidate, regret to say
that business of Importance to myself will make it
necessary for me to be absent from the county the
greater part of the time of the canvass and ifnom-
nlted, would compel me to decline.
With q sincere desire that glorious triumph may
crown the efforts of Democracy throughout the

an impartial hearing to whatever defence ne may

fond of one-sided discussion, they will send one d
several gentlemen with him to give variety and In

having expressed desire to engage in the canvass
