A GOVERNOR NON-PLUssED.-The other
night. the Ministers were returning from
Conference. on the E. T. & Ga. Railroad. an
amusing occurrence took place between
Governor Brown and Parson Brownlow. Just
before the cars arrived at Knoxville, Gov.
Brown came up, and taking the Parsou by the
hand. remarked:
''How do you do, brother Brownlow? / am
happy to see you"
The courtesy was returned. when the Cover
nor continued:
II hope you will moderate in all your no
tions of propriety in regard to your fellow
citiZens-live good christian-aBd last,
though not least, become a good Democrat"
The Parson with the eccentric look peculiar
to himself, stretched himself up and remark

Elections To-day.

important elections take place to-day in
the States of New York. New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, Illinois and Michigan. The result
of these elections win, probably, determine
the political cast of the next House Of Re-
representatives.. ~
The contest in Illinois has been regarded
with great interest in all sections of the
country. There, the President has directly
interfered in the elections against the regular
democracy, and, by inducing candidates
adhering to his fortunes, to run, given the
black republican enemies of the South laid
and comfort" such as may give them an in
creased representation in the House of Repre-
sentatives from Illinois, and send the arch
republican, LINCOLN, to the Senate DoUG-
LAS and his friends have made the most vigor-
GUS campaign known to American politics,
and. but for the Intervention of the President,
there could be no doubt of their triumph. II
defeated, and an increase of the black repub-
lican strength in Congress, follows. Mr. BUcH-
ANAN can share the glory and the honor of
the result, with LINCOLN. and TRUMBUII., and
LovEJoY, and the other republican leaders,
who are engaged with him in the work CT
cutting down the Little Giant"
In New York, since the October elections.
the administration candidates have been los
ing ground so rapidly, that scarcely any
hopes of success are entertained for the State
ticket even by the ". Y. Herald, the chief
administration organ; whilst the opposition
confidently expect gain of five or six MEM
for State officers in the field, we shall be sur
prised if the Herdld's apprehensions prove
well grounded.
In New Jersey the opposition predict a
gain of two members of Congress.
In Massachusetts. whose delegation is now
a unit. there has been some chance for gain
of one or two members to the administration;
but during the past fortnight, the opposition
have been more Jealous and confident. We
doubt whether any change will be made there.
Michigan, the home Of CAss, who once
where, has long since joined the army of the
negro worShippers. There is not one cheer
ing indication in her political firmament-all
is dark. She may be given over for the pre-
sent to her ebon idol
So much for the States that vote to-day.
The prospect for the administration is deci-
dedly uninviting, if we have interpreted the
signs correctly.

Extraordinary Revelation in Russia


The London Nescs of the 10th ult, contains
letter from st. Petersburg which makes the
following remarkable disclosure:
The result of the calculations lately made
by the well-known astronomer, Professor
Strave, of the University of Dorpat, relative
to the true geographical positions of st.
Petersburg and Moscow, and the distance
between the two capitals of the empire. is,
that the actual length of the railroad is, by
astronomical observations, no less than SS4
versts (about 90 miles) shorter than its nom
inal length of GOT versts. or, i words,
that the government. for whose account the
railroad was constructed, bas had to pay
about one-seventh of the value, or twelve
millions of roubles, more than it ought to have
paid. As the rolling stock of the ST. Peters
burg and Moscow Railway is furnished 10y
American company, who paid for the same at
so much per verst, it follows that that in this
quarter the government have been paying
also most fearful overcharge. The poles
created along the line to denote the distances
have been Systematically fixed in tue wrong
places, so as to mslead both the government
and the public.
The Emperor was in the most violent state
of excitement on learning the above, and
gave immediate orders for the strictest inves-
tigatiOn into the facts of the case to be made.
with the view to infiict the most summary
punishment on the parties inculpated in this
nefariOus transaction.

Our DipIomatists Abroad.
The True Delta has the following hard hi
at our system of foreign representation:

The True Delta has the following hard hit
at our system of foreign representation:
''Of all the absurd. expensive and nonsensical
shams in which our Government is singularly
allowed by the people to indulge, that of
keeping a batch of resident Ministers, on
pitiful salaries, to represent the United States
at foreign courts, is the most egregions.-
Generally speaking, the righteousness of the
proceeding is seen in the circumstance that
the persons usually selected are alike ignorant
of the language customs, manners and habits
of the peoples to whom they are accredited
men of desperate political fortunes, broken
down congressman, or governors, or other
pensonaries of faction, or else the selection is
made from among the parvenue class of
traders, the purse proud, inflated, presumptu-
Gus and halfeducated political hybrids, of
New England. or the Middle States to enable
them and their bedizened feminine accompani-
ments to show off their finery and vulgarity
at foreign courts among an aristocracy who
laugh at their ignorance. deride their silly
airs and pretensions, despise their acquain-
lance and shun, as they would the plague or
leprosy their contact and association"
There is unfortunately too much truth in
the above--toO much for the honor aud
dignity of a great republc.-N o. Della.

5- What do onr cotton factors think of
the following paragraph from the Memphis
appeal. .-..
GILES COUNTY CoTTON.-As the railroads
are extended, the avenues of Memphis COM
merce spread wider and wider. The branch
extension on the Charleston Road, from Deca-
tur to Athens, which was completed a short
time ago, is diverting the Giles county cotton
from Nashville. where it has always gone
hitherto to this place; and Giles county pro-
duces some of the very best cotton that is
raised in Middle Tennessee. BAUGH a. Co.
have received consignment of this cotton,
and they YESTERDAY sold lot of it, raised by
Mr. J. SCRUGGs for eleven and five sixteenth
cents The expense of carriage from Athens
to this place was sixty cents hundred. Mr..
SCRUGGs was well satisfied with the price he
obtained for his cotton. and his satisfaction
became delight when Mr.. BAUGH handed over
to him the proceeds of the sale in solid. ring
ing gold. He says his country intends, for
the future to make Memphis their market.

We rejoice at the prospect of the early COM
pletion of this important road, to Middle
Tennessee; and it pleases us, that we can
commend the superior energy and sleepless
care of its President, to whose perseverance
we owe the present forward state of the Lou
isvilie and Nashville Railroad to whose
will in truth, we owe its resuscitation and
success.
