The Louisville Journal, of Saturday, says that
Hon. Joshua Bell, the Opposition candidate for
Governor of Kentucky, is detained at BardstoWp, by
sudden and severe ILLNESS.
We doubt not that his Democratic competitor has
had the manlness to discontinue the canvass during
the confinement of Mr.. BELL.
We regret that we cannot say as much for Mr..
GOggin the Opposition candidate in Virginia; who,
notwithstanding the confinement Of Mr.. Letcher,
continues the canvass, and even refuses to divide
time with the gentlemen who is on the ticket with
Mr.. Letcher as the Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.

Mr. Worries arrived in this city few days since
direct from Pixies Peak and Cherry Creek gold

ted to California in the spring of 40 and followed
mining in that aurifeIous region for period Of near

Pixies Peak mines in company With few other cid

Col NETHERLAND finds grave cause of complaint
against the UNION AND AMERICAN in our announces
ment of the fact that it had been ascersined that
he would accept the nomination Of the Opposition
for Governor. The following from our issue Of
February %, is, it seems the offensive paragraph
Away over the mountains in the good county of
Hawkins, resides John Netherlands clever gen.
tleman aud fair lawyer. Mr.. Netherland has been
once or twice a member Of the Legislature, and has
been often on the Wing Electoral ticket His great
ambition has been to succeed Mr.. Bell in the United
States Senate. He has sffsble manners and tells
good anecdote. By some mysterious agency the
rumor has come over the mountains that Mr.. Meth
land, though not overly anxious, would accept the
nomination Of his party for Governor. Should this
Tumor prove true, it supersedes the necessity Of
State Convention. candidate is found
No man Of common sense can possibly imagine
that in this paragraph any reproach was intended
either against Mr.. NETHERLAND or against the coun-
y of his residence Yet such is the Interpretation
which he attempts to put on our language. OF
course this Interpretation is entirely grstuitcus on
Col. NETHERLANDS part, and is intended to excite
local prejudice, by which he may make votes in East
Tennessee. 1t does seem to ne that such trickery
is below the dignity of the position which Col
NETHERLASD is seeking. A gentleman asking high
honOrs at the hands Of the people should scOrn such
shallow devices to win votes. Tennessesns are
quick to see and prompt to condemn article and
intrigue in those who solicit their support,

Among the incidents Of the discussion ct Gallain
was the appearance Of Gen. CULLoM on the ground.
He doubtless anticipated that Governor HARRIS
would find it necessary to aIlude to his conduct as
Clerk of the House Of Representatives and he took
his seat Immediately in front of the Governor with
the purpose, as it is thought Of intimidang him by
his majestic presence. If such was his object he
mistOOk the character of the man. Gov. HARRIS,
when he came to speak Of Gen. CULLoM's Off
cisl conduct did SO with the utmost cooIness but
with great severity. He was net TO be overawed
by CULLOx's frowns, nor deferred by his Interrupt
tions. He held up the evidences of his wsstefulness
and corruption before the audience, and the General
found after several attempts 10 turn him from the
point, by interrupting him, that he had better bear
it in silence. Col NErHERLASD pronounced glow
ing eulogy on CuLLoN in his opening speech.

OF his friends, particularly in Rutherford county
who thought greater good could be accomplished
BY running no Democratic candidate, he declined.

We notice in the Columbia Herald an article in
fsver Of a Convention to nominate candidate for
Congress in the Sixth District. We risk the charge
of interfering beyond our province, and most hears
lily urge the same thing. There is now, IN every
Congressional District in the State, entire harmony
save in the Sixth District. While the conflict there
cannot lose the Democracy the District, it is almost
certain, if it continues, two or three mem
bers of the Legislature and loss to candidate
for Governor If the candidates themselves will not
be influenced by these considerations, surely the
party in the District will heed them. The matter
should be fairly settled and at once. Let the par
ty, in the different counties, hold meetings and ap-
point delegates to District Convention. The nom
inee of that Convention will be the party candidate,
and 1t will he losing business, and thereafter,
for any gentleman to bs 6 candidate against such
nomination.
