Correspondence of the Patriot.l

LOUDoN, June II, 1889.
DEAR PATRIOT The candidates for Con-
gress spoke here to day, and as we hear is
the case on every occasion, Col SMITH opened
defending. He passed most OF his time in de-
nouncing the Know-Nothings, which had as
little effect on the people as the threats of
Cassius against Brutus. He lays the blame
minority in congress. Col BRABsoN, in his
usual eloquent style, showed up the absurdity
of SMITHS position-and proved to the salts
faction of the people that SANS defence was
of no avail. He showed that for the last
eight years Democracy had it in their power
to control Congress for they had a very large
majority then-but they failed to do their
duty, and also that among the number OF
delinquents SAM SMITH voted for the appro-
priation bills every time with the Black Re-
publicans. SAM says the compensation law
in an economical one. Col. B. shows that it
so, over the left. The people are vida awake.
Democracy has at length aroused them from
their dreadful lethargy and now their clarion
tones go upward from towns, hills, and
hOllows, proclaiming that there is wrong
and that they will submit to it no longer.
We receive accounts daily of the speaking in
this district and the word is Calls well. -
Col. BRABsoN will make large gains-and
many Democrats have expressed their deter
mination to vote the straight Opposition
ticket. ROANE.

Tie Democratic State Central Committee
are engaged in the disreputable work of Sc
cretiy circulating a vile pamphlet, prepared
by themselves, whose whole scope and object
is TO identity the Opposition with the Black
Republicans. This thing is not published in
their papers 1t is sent out from Nashville
by the packet, to be distributed where it is
hoped no refutation of its statements will
ever follow. A friend who attended the Con-
gressional discussion at Germantown saw an
individual handing about these calumnious
pamphlets, and took the trouble to procure
one for our inspection. We have looked
through it hastily, and find exactly what we
expected. Sentences torn from their con-
text, distorted, and perverted. so as to convey
a meaning totally different from that intend
ed by the authors. In addition to a criminal
attempt at deception in this way, we are
favored with some choice extracts from the
speeches of Burlingame and Giddings. who
the Democratic Central Committee of Ten
Dessee, must know to be among their own
| best friends. Their rejoicings over Letcher's
! election in Virginia are not yet husbed. and
, it argues a degree of impudence in the
Central Committee to impute to us the pnr-
pose of forming an alliance with them, which
almost rises to the sublime.
We shall have more to say of this pamph
let hereafter. In the meantime we warn our
friends TO be on their guard againstthis and
similar tricks. The Democracy are growing
desperate. They see the hand writing or

n1- The intelligent London correspondent
of the New Yark Commercial AdUertiser writes
under date of the LIST, on money and business
matters:
The last three days have witnessed an ex-
traordnary condition of4he money market
The wheat market has likewise been singular
ly influenced, but in an opposite way. Con-
soils have rapidly advanced. Grain has as
rapidly fallen. No fresh cause can be assign
ed for either movement. The first month of
the war has been as far as we are concern d.. o
like peace. that the public are disposed to
believe that the future is to be all of the same
pattern. The large specie arrivals from New
York, which have occurred simultaf eously
with some heavy receipts from Russia. where
the alarm of war rendered it necessary to tax e
some immediate step to correct a very ad-
verse state of the exchange, have had much
to do with the circumstances. 1t has happen
ed likewise that the supplies from Australia
have during the same period, been beyond
the average. All these things will have but
a temporary effect, and it is, therefore, to be
concluded that in a short time we may look
for a turn in an adverse direction.

Ready ana Hatton at FosteryiiIe.


MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I was present at Foster
vile, in Rutherford county, yesterday, and
heard the discussion between READY and
HATToN. Avery large crowd was in atten-
dance, and the best order prevailed through
out. Col. READY opened the debate in
speech of an hour and half, which was
mainly taken up by him in miserable at
tempt at a defence of his congressional re-
cord. HATToN's reply to him On this point
was one Of the most crushing, whitening, an
Initiating thingI ever heard in all my life.
have not time in this hurried note to give
you anything like detailed account of the
speaking. Suffice it to say "our BOB" gained
a most glorious victory-a victory complete
in all the points at issue. tell you canCidly
have never before witnessed such SHINING
as HATTON gave READY at Fosterville yester-
day. j understand that the name of the viii
lage will hereafter be called "Ready's Defeat"
instead of Fosterville. HATTON's friends at
that place are most enthusiastic:he was cheer
ed and appiauded from the opening OF his
speech to its close and after his time bad ex-
pired, so anxious were some in the crowd to
hear him further. that they called out re-
peatodIy for him to 'go on.'' go on, give il
to him-be is a renegade, and deserves it."
In conclusion, would say TO our friends OF
the Fifth District that all is fright side up
with care" in old Rutherford. HATToN will
undoubtedly get from 100 to l25 democratic
votes in this county. Three cheers for the
gallant 'cedar snag" from old Wilson,

wells of musical mechanism. 1t has four rows
OF keys comprising sity-three notes; and two
octaves and half OF pedals, comprising thir-

immense bellows, each having three feeders
placed in vault below the floor of the hall.
These are blown by. two eyliuder-oseil lalihg

other bellows or reservoirs, each giving lis
own appropriate pressure of air to those stops
or pipes which it supplies.

The evidences of popular disgust for the

destined to be followed up in other States of
the South with still more emphasis. In Ala

From the London News.

IF for moment we can survey the great
struggle in Italy with the calm eyes of his
torian two centuries hereafter, we may think
the personal character of the two sovereigns
allied for Italy to be worthy of special study
strikingly eontrasted as they are. A strange
pair of hounds to hunt in a leash together
Louis Napoleon we better know as dark and
difficult to fathom, INSCRIPTIONS and appar-
emily without conscience, but patient, eau
tious, diligeat in detail, long headed, slow to
act, but eminently energetic and unshrink-
ing when the time of action comes, and re-
solved TO go through the work be undertakes.
1t has OF late become known in certain circles
that i'll the Russian war he distinctly proposed
10 the English Ministry to restore Poland as
barrier against Russia. The advice was re-
jected. A pamphlet, VIGOROUSLY from Prince
Napoleon, in favor of restoring Poland was
| published, to feel the pulse of England; but
when it was coldly received here, the scheme
was of necessity abandoned. 1t is matter OF
| public history that when NJ. Drouyn de
| PBuys quailed at Vienna, the French EN-
| peror dismissed his Minister, insisted on per-
severance until Seyastopol should fall, and
confirmed our wavering Cabinet. When such
was bis obstinacy against the solid empire Of
Russia, whose throne rests on the attachment
of nearly 5O,000,000 peasants that speak one
language, he is not likely to vacillate whel

tria, which cannot claim as loyal subject:
| one-fifth. perhaps not one-tenth. part of the
| millions whom it cruShes-men of many
tongues, bitterly remembering the institu
| tions of which they and their fathers have
been treaeberously despoiled.
At the side of Louis Napoleon stands Vic
| tor Emmanuel, having all the qualities which
the other has NOT Frank and open-hearted
| generous and winning, born to conclliate
mems affection and trust, his faithfulness has
been tried by his subjects at most critical

have easily reestablished despotic rule, as

in Prussia could any real constitutionalism

| finched not for one hour, aud he reaps the
harvest in his peoples love and trust. He is
known to be as brave as lion. having a GER
tain hysical joy in danger. What is better
he is stalking his crown for the deliverance OF
Italy, and is thoroughly believed to be in
earnest when he says she will gladly lose it
if that end be achieved.
Such is the monarch into whose hands Pr
| edmont has conided all her liberties during
the crisis OF invasiOn-a magnanimOus pro-
ceedlng highly conducive to safety and victo-
ry. A King of such a temperament might be
too rash; but he is balanced by Napoleon S
patient sagacity. Napoleon LII might be
tempted to some new treachery, but Victor
Emmanuel will take no part in il; and the
great army of Italy which will soon be
formed, devoted to the Sandman alliance
will secure that Napoleon shall not be tempt
ed by too great facilities.

PRIVATE EUROPEAN ADvIcEs, TO GERMAN
MERCHANTS SYMPATHY FOR AUsTRIA.-It is
said that German merchants of ibis city are
in possession of private advices which render
il certain that Prussia and all Germany will
Immediately join Austria in her struggle with
France. These advices,it is asserted, are from
persons in the confidence of the Government,
and are regarded as trustworthy.
Perhaps il is largely due to their tradition
al hatred of the Bonapartcs that the sympa-
thy of the Germans of the city in behalf of
Austria seems to be general and cordial. AS
an instance, one OF them. a young and
wealthy merchant, has already made arrange
ments to go by the next steamer, and enlist
in the service. He says his family were mas
sacred by Napoleon L., and he will have re-
venge upon his successor.-N T. Post.

BE KIND To THE WoUNpED.-The Emperor
Napoleon, before leaving Alcssandria yesler-

versed with most of them, each in their ow n
language for His Majesty speaks Italian. and
German may be said 90 be his native tongue.
He addressed the Austrian Colonel Heutel,
who had been presented TO His Majesty last
winter nj The Tulleries. aud told him that as
soon as lle aud the other Austrians wound, d
were able 60 travel. they should be liberated.
and allowed To return 10 their country. Ma

side al least. shall be conducted on humane

Probable Effect of the War on Amer
lean Trade with Germany.

The Americans have taken the alarm, and
fear that if the war should be extended to the
northern part of Germany, their trade with
the Hanse Towns would be seriously injured.
There has, in consequence, been a meeting,
at Bremen, of the United States Consuls of
Hamburg, Bremen and Lubbock, with the view
of coming to some understanding on this sub
ject, in so far, at least, as that the mail and
emigrant packets between the Weser, the Elbe
and New York might not be rendered liable
to a maritime blockade of the northern ports
Of Germany.
The result of this movement cannot yet be
ascertained, and it can scarcely be expected
to be successful unless the same privilege
were to be extended to vessels of the same
class belonging to other nations; but the diff
ficulty may he surmOunted in another way,
for neither the island of Heligoland nor the
port of Tonning, which is in Scheswig, and
does not form any portion of the German
Confederation, would come within the limits
of such blockade, and ships might enter and
leave the former as British possession, aud
the latter as Danish seaport, without let or
hindrance; and when once there the eXpe-
rience of the last Continental war would be
sufficient to show how trade could be carried
on from the former. while the railway COM
munication from the latter to all parts of
Germany, would most effectually set at de-
fiance every attempt that might be made to
pnt a stop to it in that way, though it might
contrive to make the mode of carrying it on
somewhat more circuitOus.

INSECT MACHINERY.-A correspondent of the
Scientific 4nericah suggests that inventors
might learn much and get many ideas by
studying the mechanism with which insects
perform their work, for example, the spinning
of a thread by the caterpillar and the boring
fly. which by means of TIVE slender looking
hair-like projections bores into wood to de-
post its eggs. There is much to be done in
the imitation Of animal machinery which is
the most economically constructed of any,
there never being muscle or bone or tendon
too much, or out of place, but the whole al
ways works perfectly aud with ease.

One of the ablest lawyers in Philadelphia.
in a note to the editor of the Press says:

II always understood the American pOliti-
cal rule to be that all allegiance to foreign
potent ttes and powers would be totally re-
nounced by adopted citizens, and that it was
the boast OF our party that we had made that
naturalization law, and that we would main
tain it and see it respected" He adds. II
say this, of course, not in behalf of natural
lid citizens, but in behalf of every Ameri-
can, and especially of those who, If General
Cass's doctrine be true, can be re-captured
and kept from their american wives and chill
dren, because once on time they had been
subjects OF King B0mba, or some other miser-
able despot in the Old World"
