CLARKSVFT.LE.

We were rather unexpectedly called up
on to pay flying visit &c our beautiful
and fourishing neighboring city, during
the past week II was our first formal
visit to the place, having only heretofore
seen the city from the river. We were
surprised as well as delighted with the
spirit Of enterprise and energy which the
public spirited and intelligent citizens Of
that place evince The spirit of improve
ment is fully aroused there, and the liber-
atty and good taste Of the citizens is be-
ginning 10 make it assume the real form
and dimensions Of thriving and prosper
GUS city. On every hand, public and pri-
vate edifices are going up, and every house
in the town is filed, and the demand for
large additional number of dwellings is
loud and urgent. They have fine Male
and Female schools, their churches are
neatly and tastefully built, and the various
pulpits are ably supplied by pious and
jealous Ministers. Private enterprise is
visible all over the city, in the erection Of
FIGURING Mills, Tobacco Stemeries, Iron
Foundries, and other branches of mechan-
ical industry; as well as in the many hand
some and ornamental residences which stud
the streets Of the city proper, and those
which sit in beauty amid the rich forests
skirting the city. We noticed quite a
number of new, and very handsome resi-
dences in and around the town, but as we
cannot enumerate all, it might be deemed
invidious to mention any, and we forbear.
During our short sojourn, we called up
on Faxon, Of the Jeffersonian, but had
the misfortune not to meet him.-then we
called upon that jovial fellow, Thomas, Of
the Chronicle, and were more fortunate
than in our call at the Jeffersonian Office,
for we found him at home, and spent a
very pleasant half hour with him. We
then dropped into the Office Of Hornber-
ger & House, and had the pleasure to meet
Gen. Hornberger for the first time. He
is real good fellow, and we have taken a
liking to him. Ford House is just as clev-
err as men ever grow in Tennessee-and
that is saying all that could be written in
a volume. We then called upon Rev. DR..
Hendrick, and spent q very agreeable
hour. Our next visit was to James f.
Bailey, Esq, after which we spent the
night at the hospitable residence Of j. +
House, and early next morning resumed
the stage for home.

sa- Douglass says Territory may
omit to eDact laws for the protection Of
slavery, and thus exclude il. JEFF. Davis
says a Territory may lawfully omit to
enact such laws, and some Of the southern
locofoco organs are endorsing his position.
This is q surrender to the freesoilers Of
their doctrine, that slavery can not exist
without the sanction Of municipal law,
and it is reputation Of the bred Scott
decision. The rights Of the South have,
for years, been surrendered, one by one,
and by ito own locofoco politicians. JEFF.
Davis wants to be President, and he gives
up an important principle, as a bid
Locofoco editors, in the South, want to
secure the unity of the party, and the
price they pay for it, is treason to southern
rights.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.

Facts we're made public last evening
which prove that Douglass and the Presi-
dent concluded a formal truce before
Douglass departure from Washington,
and that Buchanan violated one of the
articles, whereupon Douglass pronounced
at Chicago accordingly.
The Nicaraguan question is becoming
more complicated. Jerez denies any
stipulation as to conditions of reception,
and orders will probably emanate from the
President for his dismissal, and for the
seizure and holding of the Transit route
by naval force until demands of the
United States are conceded.
Governments disposed toproteet Joseph
Whites Transit Company, and has sent
war steamers to both sides of the Isthmus,
subject to the orders of General Lamar,
American Minister at Nicaragua.

sag 1t is said that the Post Office De-
partment is paying out large amount Of
money to sustain certain Lecompton or
gans, which, like the Administration, are
"weak in the knees" Democracy supports
itself at the cost Of the Treasury, and this
accounts for the rapidity with which it was
emptied on the accession of the present
Administration. If the people are willing
to support such load of corruption, there
is little use in making fuss about it.

B@- 1t is amusing to witness the des-
perate efforts of Buchanan's organs to
discredit Forney's testimony, by denounc-
ing him as scoundrel. But what has he
done since old Buck was elected, TO merit
this character? Nothing, that has come
to light. He was "pimp to play actor, I"
and had interpolated the records of Con-
gress, long before Buchanan s.nomination,
and long after he had thus disgraced him
self, he was the bosom friend of the Presi-
dent, and the darling of the locofoco party.
Then, as Forney says, the indictment can
not be dated back behind 1857 without
hitting the President and his whole party
all being as great scoundrels as Forney
himself, if they knowingly placed them
selves upon an equality with scoundrel.
We are willing to concede that Forney is
as bri as represented; but his testimony
against the Administration is as good as
that of the latter against hint is dog

BosroS, Oct. 4. 1868.
Messrs. N. s. Hustled, JOHN LLOYD and
G.. G. DEANE. Committee. &c.

G. @. DEANE, Committee, &c.
GENTLEMEN Your favor Of the 28th
ult. reached me only on Saturday, inviting
me to address Ratification Meeting, at
the Cooper's Institute, tomorrow evening.
l very much regret that my engagements
are such as to render it impossible to be
absent from home, and to compel me to
forego the pleasure of accepting your in
vitation.
I will not permit the opportunity to
pass, without expressing my sympathy
with your purposes, and my hopes for your
success. We had been told here in Mas
sachusetts that the Americans of New
York intended forming fusion with the
Republicans-and the hearts of thousands
outside of your borders were grati6ed to
learn the falsity Of this assertion.
Such fusion, or union, or coalition, in
my judgment, cannot be entered into,
either in New York, or Massachusetts,, or
anywhere else, without a sacrifice of
principle and permanent injury to our
party.
The two parties-American and Re-
publican-are naturally and necessarily
antagonistic. The American was founded
upon the everything spirit of broad Ameri-
oan nationalism the Republican, upon a
temporary sectional feud between the
North and the South. The American
party embraces all parts of our common
country within the scope of its organiza-
ton the Republican is necessarily limited
to less than one-quarter of the geographi-
cal area of our Union. The events of
every day point out the greater necessity
for the existence and success of America
principles while the fact which created
the Republican party, the cause Of its
growth, and the life-blood Of its existence,
is already removed-the people of Kansas,
at their recent election, settling their own
affairs, by their own peaceful votes at their
ballot boxes.
Not only are these two parties necessari-
" antagonistic, but from the nature and
necessity Of the case, one can only become
powerful and dominant by the decadence
and disintegration Of the other. Every
fusion, then, formed with Republicanism
every indirect aid given it-eyery in
cidental vote it receives from us, streng-
thens Its lease of life, and defers the time
certain to come-wheh the American
party shall rise supreme upon Its ruins.
The Republican party is waning every
where. VIM. II. Seward, months age, ac-
knowledged, in a public speech, at had
accomplished its mission" II will soon
be ian effete organization. Sectional
parties are no new thing, and they are al
ways, as they always should be, short
lived.
Adhere. then, to your organization
make no fusions Nth your bitterest foes
remember their dissolution is certain and
speedy, and on the ruins Of their organiza-
ton We again shall rise a national, con
seryative and victorious American party,
as wide in its brotherhood as our common
country--as permanent as her prosperity
las glorious as her destiny.
have the honor to be,
Very respectfully yours,
HENRY j. GARDNER.

The BELL CREvAssE.-This locality
now presents scene of destruction rarely,
If ever witnessed before, as coming from
similar cause, and one which gives the
spectator ever more forcible idea of the
fury and strength of a crevasse than was
presented when the waters of Mississippi
were pouring over the ground, raging
torrent, sweeping all before them. The
spot looks like a desert. Not blade Of
grass appears where once was smiling
plantation verdure. The ground is fur
rowed into every shape, and the channel
Of the crevasse is wide and deep enough to
form deep river ~. o. Pscayune

and the business and social qualities of its
people. In House, Hornberger, and our
self, he saw teetle over an average Of the
beauty of the male population, and we are
glad he didn't see our neighbor-not that
he would not have been pleased with his
winning ways, but because his "peculiar

OF the retrospect upon which he can now
dwell with unmixed satisfaction.

road from Bowling Green to the State line,
But there is an influence in Louisville at
work to defeat its best interests, and that
influence may succeed and when ii shall
defeat the building of the branch road, a
tale will be told replete with disaster to
the commercial well-being of a city whose
worst enemies are within its own corporate
limits.
