constituency.

The Nashville Union fiourishes before the
country oath. alleged TO have been taken
by NETHEKIAND. Suppose he did take that
oath. Did not CHARLES READY, the man
whom the Democrats of the Fifth District are
supporting for Congress, take the same oath {?
Upon this point, The Rutherford 7eleqraph,
quoting a paragraph from The Nashville
Lnion, says: I'VE say to our democratic
friends in this region, that they need not pay
any attention to such paragraphs as the
above, because they have already declared
their intention not to be governed by the
suggestion of The Union, but say they will
vote for Mr.. READY. who has taken he same oath
as Mr.. NETHERIAND, and we see no good
reason why they cannot vote for NEITHER
LAND with as much propriety as they can for
READY. The homely saying of sauce for the
goose, sauce Cor the gander,' will apply in
this case. admitting that Mr.. NETHERLAND is a
sworn Know Nothing" which we think. is
probably guessed at about this time by demo-
cratic papers. We hope our democratic
friends will extend the same charity TO
NETHERLNAD they do TO READY. y Memphis

ES- In a statement, in our last issue, in
regard to the suspension of the horse mail
between this place and Nashville via Syca-
more Mills, we have since learned. that We
were somewhat msinformcd And as it is
not our intention TO misrepresent or mistate
anything, we eheerfully make the correction.
We stated last week. that tile contractor
offered to pay debt of twenty-five dollars in
government assurances or script, and that
the gcntleman TO whom it was offered. refus,
it. Since then we have feared that Mr..
HOckersmith, the contractor. did not make
that proposition; but the gentleman to whom
he owed twenty-five dollars. asked (by
some one else.) which he Won d rather have
the debt on. Mr.. Hook, rsmih or the govern
meat? and h replied that he would rather
have it on Hockersmith. We furthermore
learn that Hockersmith said that the reason
that h threw up the contract, was. that the
ID partment had not paid him. But as to
the real cause, we do not pretend to know, it
being a matter between the contractor and
the Department. We are glad to learn that
our Post Master here, has secured n temporary
contractor, and the mail is again in operation.

HARRIS AND NETHERI.AND AT SoNERvILLE.-
We have seen an intelligent gentleman who
heard the discussion at Somerville on Mon
day. and he informs us that Gov. Harris
made one of the ablest speeches Of his life;
thai il was universally CONCEDED that his vic
tory was complete and triumphant He
wiped out Col. Netherland as easily as huge
sponge would absorb basin of wafer His
blows fell thick and fast on the unlucky head
OF his opponent and the party represented by
him, every one Of which went home with tell
ing eff-ct. The Democracy Of Fayette
cheered Gov. Harris from first 10 last. They
were enthusiastic aud sanguine of glori-
Gus victory. Our cause is gloriously on
ward. Pash on the columnl
The above is the sort of stuff with which
the Araiaaehs expccts to gull It's readers and
make them believe Harris has improved in
his speech since be left here. Now the fact
il, he has delivered the sclEsame speech ever
since be left NASHVILLE only modified a little
to suit particular localities as in the case OF
the Citizens Bank here; and he will make
the same speech throughout the canvass. He
was .'crammedn ut the start. and can say
nothing else than whatEe has ..got by heart. y

Incident oft the RevoIution--A Cannon,
of Wood.

Mr.. EDITOR AS every remaining trace of
the American Revolution is interesting to all
classes ofonr citizens, i need offer no apology
for communicating to the public the follow ng
in relation to the marks still left of General
Greene,s success with his wooden cannon:
In the Autumn of 1857, being a visit to
Lexington District, s. c.. | lodged at a house
formerly occupied by James Casey. whose
widow still dwells there. In the revolution
this house was in the possession of a small
British garrison. and not far of, the AIneri-
CAPS. at the same time, defended rude fort.
In his descent from the up country. General
Greene determined to route the British from
the house I speak of; but having no field
piece, and being full of expedients, be con-
structed cannon of pine log, With which
he attacked the enemy, who after few fires,
surrendered to the Americans. The hole in
the house through which the pine-iog cannon
shot the ball which frightent d the British into
submission, still exists as an interesting monu-
ment of the :" times that tried mems souls"
and took much pleasure in looking upon it.
