Mrs Stephens, IN her excellent monthly, maya
zine, thus pitehes.in' against class Of men which
is becoming far too numerous. Hear what she says,
Z" Our own private opinion Of the Lady's Man is;
that ne is thoroughly oOntempible-s sort of speci
men Of the life hardly worth thinking about-a nut
she'll with the kernel withered ups handful o.
foam drifting over the wine Of life something nof
altogether unpleasant to the fancy but Of no earthly
use. A woman Of sense would as soon put to sea
in 8 man-Of-Wsr made Of shingles or take up her
residence in a eard-house as dream Of attaching
herself to q lady killer.
"Women worth the name are seldom deceived in
to thinking ladys man the choicest specimen Of
hissex. Whatever their ignorance may be, Womanly
Intuition must tell them that the men who live for
great objects, and whose spirits are so firmly knit
that they able to encounter the storms eff life
men whose depth and warmth Of feeling resemble the
powerful current Of a mighty river, and not the
bubbles on its surface, who if they love- are never
smitten by mere beauty Of form or features-that
these men are far more worthy even Of occupying
their thoughts in idle moments than the tops and
men about town with whose attentions they amuse
themselves. If we we're to tell him this he would
only laugh; he has no pride about him, although
full Of vanity and it matters not to him what we
may broadly affirm or quietly insinuate.
"Soft and delicate though he be- be is as imper-
SiOus to ridioule bod carrier and as regardless
Of honest contempt as a city alderman. We're you
to hand him this article, ne would take it to some
social party, and read it aloud in the most mellu-
GUS voice a hemage to his own attractions"

JAMES E. RAINS, ESQ.

The Banner Of yesterday morning contains the
VALEDIoroRY Of Mr.. RAINS, couched in appropriate
and handsome words, severing his connection with
that paper. "He has never intended his withdrawal
from legal pursuits to be more than temporary, and
however attractive the lfeeditorisl may BE- he feels
little inclined to abandon the profession Of his ear
lest choice" His purpose, therefore, is to engage
in the practice Of the law.
This Announcement will be received with general
regret by the readers Of the Banner, and by the
numerous personal friends Of Mr.. R., irrespective
of party. During the brief time of his connection
with the press he has given evidences Of fine ability
as 8 writer, and much of that readiness Of mind
essentially necessary to the successful Management
of daily journal.
The editorial fraternity Of Nashville have special
cause Of regret They have found him genial com
panion prince Of good fellows. Such associations
soften the asperites Of editorial life and enable US
20 bear much more patiently our constant and daily
drudgery. Our young friend carries with him
to the new field Of his labOrs the hndest wishes Of
the editors Of this paper.
Mr. WALKER takes upon himself the entire labors
Of the Banner for the present By an increase Of
effort on his part he will be able, we doubt not, to
maintain the established character Of his paper.

In Indiana. the CANVASS for the October State
Election has opened under very encouraging as
poets. OF the five Republican Members oil the
present Heuse. three-Messrs. Wilson, Petat and
Colfsx-hsye already been renominsted and htse
doubt is entertained that they vii all be re-
elected. Mr.. Colfax has an able and plausible
competitor in Col John c. Walker OF Laporte "a
brother Editor but bis services have been 80 val
usble and bis position 10 so eminent that We cannot
believe his constituents will consent to lose Sir.
Colfax as their representative. No man in either
House bas, during tie last three sessions, Been
mere indefatgable or more effective worker than
be: no nan whom Indiana has sent to the House
these ten years has achieved higher distinction or
a more general esteem Several of dis speeches
have been amorg the very best msdc in the HOUSE
siIce he took ses. on ito floor, and have been
most seryiceable throughout the Unon. We shal
BE- disappointed if he is not low reelected oy an
increased majority. We 60 not remember having
seen that Nsssrs Klgors and Case have yet been
renomirs tec, but they mag have been, and we
know no reason why they should not be, aud re-
elected.
In the With (Terre Hsute) District, we rejoice
to see that John G.. Davis, one Of the Democrats
who persistently opposed Lecompton, both senior
and unior is running as an Independent, and that
the Republicans pit no candidate against hun. he
is opposed by Henry l.. Seerest, WHO pretends to
be anti Lecowpton, but supports Buchanan AID the
ether chief hackers of LecOmpton. We trust the
Republicans of this District viii DO their whole duty
and return Mr. Davis.
In the LIST District, Niback (if renomnated) will
be opposed by Hovey, anti Lecomp.on, With good
prospects Of success.
In the Id, English has to work hard for re-
nomination, and We trust mus. work still harder to
secure a re election.
In the lid, Hughes's prospects for reelection
aye decidedly bad, according to our adyices.
In the IVth the literary Mr. Foley is dropped by
his own pary-beins probably wanted to take
charge of grammar .schoOl-ard Judge Hackle-
man, Repub, is running with excellent prospects.
In the remaining (VIth) district, tho nomina-
tons not yet made, but preliminary indications
point to a very strong selection on tie aide Of tho
Republicans. Should it be made, it can hardly fail
Of success.
To the present House, Indiana chOse five Repub-
licans and six Democrats We believe that not
lets than six Republicans will be chosen to the next
vita at least two anti Lecompton Independents.
We may prove in error, but such 10 the tenor OF

Certain aspirne gentlemen in the Congress Dis
trict composed of the Upper Wards of our City
would seem to be ambitious of achieving Repub-
lican romln1ton for the approaching contest. This
being remarkably free country, where every one
does whatever pelses him and says ditto, we
solicit few words with these asprants at this
stsge of the business.
We do not happen to know Horace Z. Clark
never had any correspondence or other intercourse
with him, ard do not know who are his conf
DENTAL friends if he has any. We do not even
know that he will consent to be chosen to the next
Congress, though we infer from his silence tina. he
Will. We do not know whom he prefers for next
President nor what are his proclivties with regard
10 the Political future. But we do know that
though elected at the same time and on the same
ticket with Mr. Buchanan he steadily resisted that
atrociou. s'tempt to force the Lecompton Const-
futon upon kansas in defiance of the known will
of her people-resisted it in every shape and
from FIRST to last. The contemplate Eoglsh
dodge WAS opposed by him Just as heartily and
thoroughly as the holder niquity which it sue
ceeesd OF course, Mr.. Clark must have done this
claims 10 share or voice in the distribution of the
Federal patronage, all hope of being considered in
the award Of Ocean Mail contracts and other fat
pickpgs. He braved the immediate wrath Of the
managers and controllers of the great party that
elected him, ard which gave Buchanan as msny
votes in his District as were given to Fremont
and Fillmore together. Every possible indictment
of interest, ease or ambition, must have urged him
TO vote with Schles, Kelly, Maclsy, Ward aud
John Cochrane: nothing but principle and con-
yiction of right could have weighed with him in
faycr of the course he took and kept. 1t is easy
TO raw that he did merely his duty; but how many
of those who say this would have done the like

Mr.. Clark, had he voted with the great bulk OF

simple question now to be decided, so far as be is
