The Louisville Journal of Saturday, says
that Hon. Joshua +. Bell, the Opposition can
didate for Governor Of Kentucky, is def aimed
at Bardstown, by sudden and severe illness.
We doubt not that his Democratic competi-
tor has had the manliness to discontinue the
canvass during the confinement of Mr.. Bell.
We regret that we cannot say so much for
Mr.. Goggin, the Opposition candidate in Vir-
gina; who. Notwithstanding the confinement
OF Mr.. Letcher, continues the canvass, and
even refuses to divide time with the gentle
men who is on the ticket with Mr.. Letcher as
the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor-C fa'on d'd american. esS-a.
The sham-Democraiic competitor of Mr..
BELL has not yet had the manlness to dis
continue the canvass y during the illness OF
Mr.. b. We have seen nothing in the Ken
lucky papers indicating that he WILL ---
| Mr.. GOGGIN owes the sham democracy of
Virginia no such courtesy as a discontin-
uaDce of the canvass, on account of the
illness of Mr.. LETcHER; nor a division OF
time with any other sham democratic
! speaker. In making list of appointments
| Mr.. LETCHER did not consult his compel
itor, neither would he agree to vary from
that list. Having, at one time, endorsed
anti-slaEery sentiments, he opened the can
vass in portion of Virginia where this fact,
it was supposed. would not injure his pros
poets, and gave Mr.. GoGGIN the alternative
/ to go there with him, or to make separate
appointments of his own in the East Mr..
G. gave up his own plan, Joined Mr.. L. in the
West, but made a list of appointments in the
East, and invited Mr.. l.. to meet him at them.
Mr.. L., so soon as he got out of the West, was
| taken sick, and abandoned the canvass. He
might have met Mr.. G.. or he might not; he
never advised him of his Intentions. No
courtesy had been shown to him-the sham
democracy had no right to ask any at his
hands. Had the appointments been jointly
made, as the candidates for Governor in Ten
nessee made theirs, Mr.. GoGGIN would have
either abandoned the canvass or agreed to
meet substitute.
Does the Union and american really deem it
humanity for candidate TO prosecute can
vass, his competitor being confined by illness?
We do not think any such view was expressed
when Gov. TROUsDALE went on filling his ap-
pointments whilst Gov. CAMPBELL was living
dangerously i'll at McMinnville in 1851. Gov.
TROUsDALE did not show any disposition to
discontinue the canvass" and Tom NELSON
had to fill CAMPBEIL's place.

GEN. Houston.

The Houston (Texas) Telegraph, of the 18th
ult.. states that Gen. SAM Houston was in
that city the day before, looking in remark
ably good health. In relation to his retiring
from public life, the Telegraph says:
"There was some curiosity on the part of
some to know whether be would go into the
political arena again. We think those who
sought information were satisfied that he is
looking to some more pleasant field in which
to spend the evening of his life He says
that bis friends have hitherto refused 10 ex-
cuse him, but that now that he has been once
defeated he certainly has right to be ex-
cused from further participation in Office of
any kind. Sheep raising is more profitable
any way. The General is about improving a
place for home on Galveston bay, and is
nov giving his attention to it,

Awful A white female child was found
in the Calf Killer river at Sparta. on Thurs
day OF this week. The verdict of the jury
of inquest was that il came to its death by
drowning and that it was done or procured
TO be done by its mother. The evidence OF
Doctors Brockett 4 Renshaw was, that the
child was born at full matuIity-that it must
have been from tire to five days old at
drowning, and believedto have been alive
when thrown into the river. Some clue was
obtained upon the Inquest as TO the per-
petrator of this horrible deed. and u warrant
issued for the arrest of person eight sniles
up the river from Sparta. The result Of the
investigation will be given next week

ROBERTSON COUNTY.

Pursuant to the previous appointments, the
| delegates from the several districts of this
county met in convention in theiCourt House
| the 2nd of May, and organized by calling Col
Willie Woodland to the chair. Col. Woodland
in few brief but pointed remarks explained
the object OF the meeting, which was to nomi-
nate q candidate for the lower branch of the
next Legislature. The name of Judge John
Woodland was put in nomination, and he was
unanimously declared the Opposition candi-
date.
The chairman then appointed n committee
Of three to wait upon Judge Woodland and in
form him of his nomination which they did
and he came forward and in an open, man.
ly, and spirited address accepted the nomina-
ton thus voluntarily conferred upon him. de-
claring his devotion to the principles and to
the cause for which he had battled from his
boyhood up TO the present time 1t was then
unanimously resolved by the Convention that
the Platform OF principles put forth by the
State Opposition Convention, which recently
assembled in Nashville, meets the hearty APP
probation OF the Opposition party In old Ro-
bertson, and that they fully endorse tee same
as well rs the list of Opposition candidates
already in the field, to-wit
Our gallant and time-honored leader, Col.
john Netherland. for Governor. Gen. James
Nj. Quarles for Congress- who is distinguished
alike for his upright integrity AS a man and
a citizen. and for his brilliant genius and un-
surpassed eioqnence as popular orator, and
also our former fellow-citizen, Major Richard
Is. Cheatham, for Floater, whose valiant ser
vice Ia the present canvass We confidently
rely upon.
The object of the Convention having been
accomplished, our fellow-townsinen, Coils
Stark aud Garner were called Tor when they
each successfully took she stand. and in a
manner peculiar TO themselves alone, address
ed the large and attentive audience which had
by this time assembled ut the Court House
at some length. Frequent bursts OF applause
interrupted the noble efforts of each. as they
grew warm in the discussion of the evils OF
the present Administration. The fires of 1870
are re-kindling In the Opposition ranks in
old Robertson, and the first Thursday fn
August next will tell heart-rending tale 20
Locoloeo Office SEEKERS, who have so long
been led out OF the public cEib--eyen to the
total exhaustion thereof.
IL Was also resolved that the foregoing pro-
eeedings be forwarded 20 the Banner and Pot
rsds for publication, which they will please DO.
The convention then adjourned SINE de.

The High Water, River and Gre

The Baton Rouge Advocate, of the evening
of the 2Sth ult,says:
The food has reached the highest mark of
last year at this place, and still it rises. Our
friends in West Baton Rouge are having a try
ing time of it on their levees. Constant vigi-
lance and hard labor are required TO save
themselves from overflow. Plantation hands
spread up and down the opposite bank in hun
dreds TO guard every exposed point and
strengthen every weak place in the levees.
The Baton Rouge Gazate, of Friday, goth,
says:
We learn that break in the levee occurred
on Wednesday night. between Conrad's plan
tation and Ramsey's. The waves from the
steamer ID. F. Kenner, as she passed down
caused ii. An adequate force was promptly
summoned to the spot, and after working all
night, under the flow of good spirits, succeed
ed in stopping it. The levees above and be-
low US are all in very precarious condition.
