some two years ago, at the advanced age of sixty

years The witness was asked if Mr.. Overbey was
born blind. lie answered no-that his intirmity
was said to have resulted from blow. The ques-
ton was suggested, he supposed by the fact that
his mother, very old woman, had been blind for
many years, and he added, that while, perhaps, it
not german to the question, he would state
very interesting fact in connection with the old lady

pouBLE-FAcED CANDIDArE.-The Bel-Everett
orgsns- in the South sorely plagued by the ex-
posdre which the Breckenridge journals have recent
iy made of their candidates record. They are en-
deavoring to counteract the damaging effects which
the facts we published producing in their own
ranks, by industnousy circulating long compila-
ton, composed of extracts from John Bells speech
es and statements of some Of his votes which they
gravely not facetiously style John Bells Record:
This record was prepared in Nashville and was
first printed in Mr.. Bulls campaign paper in that
city. BY it Mr. Bell is made to appear in the light
of sound, but not ultra, Southern man. 1t is in
tended as a Southern campaign document
But there is another little man9uyre adopted by
Mr.. Bells friends adroit measure that deserves
to be known. 1t appears that the Bell Executive
CoElmittee at Washington have fixed up another
record for the North, which they distributing
only in the free States. A correspondent OF the
Marion Commonwealth, writing from Montgomery,
Ala, SAYS:
The National Bell Executive Committee at
Washington have recently prepared and published
another Record of Mr.. Bell entirely different
document-intended only for Northern circulation!
and it is only sent out to citizens Of the North
and intended only for Northern eyes Bell is made
out by extracts from his speeches, by his votes in
Congress and by his letters, &c, to be opposed to
Sdrery, and opposed to its protection in the com-
mon territories. All this, and more, is proven by
the record of his Congressional career the whole
object of the pamphlet being to prOre AR. Bell an
dnti-sLIrery man and say to you that it is done
very effectually. | have seen the document, and
write what do know. There arc at present only
one or two copies in this city. shall not say how
they were obtained Suffice it to say, the document
is gotten up in Washington City, is sent out North
by the Bell and Everett Executive Committee, and
is recommended by Alex r. Boteler, NJ. g., of Viz
gna, and chairman of said Bell committee. | can
find no language sufficiently strong to express my
condemnation Of such political infamy, dcgeneracy
and incarnatc viIainy. They who aid in Practicing
this deception ought to be branded with the mark OF
CAIN as murderers of the constitutional rights OF
the Southern people, traitors to the Constitution
al Union, and forever scorned and execrated by
every honest man in the land. IL the Southern
people vote for Bell now, they must submit in 1864
to the running of black Republican ticket in this
State. What say you to the political degrade
ton and abolition affnties Of John Bell! His
friends have the audacity to put forward black
anti-sldrery record for the North and Pro-sldrery
protection to gull the South. Black and white,
which do you preler?'

A Lesson FOR THE PooR-In 1902 Mr.. Bidwell,
law student in Stockbrdge Mass, told poor lad
that if he would catch and turn out his horse he
might have it to ride home to keep Thanksgiving.
The boy accepted the offer, and the day before
Thanksgiving as he was mounted on the horse
ready to start for home Mr.. Bidwell handed him
silver dollar-the first dollar he ever had. Instead
of spending it for personal qualification he bought
a sheep with it. From that sheep he had, in 1882,
flock of 1864 sheep, which he sold for 81 ,5O6.-
This money he invested in uptown lots in New
York city, purchasing ten lots for $3.50 each, which
he sold in two years for $4,000 This was the be-
ginning of the fortune of Nathan jackson, ESQ.,,
distinguished for his generous and muni6cent dona-
tons at various times to Williams College, Massa-

CASE OF HEARTBURN.-Dr Leared of London has
just published volume on the cause and treatment
of imperfect digestion. From the testimony Of
many patients well his experience, DR..
L. maintains that butyric acid is the of heart
burn. 1t is usually attended by the election from
the asophagus of a very small quantity of acrid
fluid, frequently described a single DROP causing
peculiarly disagreeaole and occasionally greasy
taste to the mouth. Gas from the stomach some
times accompanies the drop, and to this is probably
due the idea conceived by some patients, that the
sensation resembles the passage of hot smoke"
The opinion that the of it is the presence Of
butyrc acid, is founded on the taste experienced
well as the conditions under which heartburn comes
on. This acid is product Of deranged digestion,
and heartburn is very generally induced by eating
food in which butyric acid already exists, pastry,
etc., and the acid appears to be also formed out of
its elements in the stomach.

DOES JSo. BELL OWN a NEGRO ?-The Opposition,
says the Memphis ITennessee,l AUaLanche, have
been engaged in disgusting attempt to impair the
confidence of the Southern people in Mr.. Breckn-
ridge, by asserting that he not the owner of a
slave. 1t was an allegation of poverty against him,
unwisely made to weaken his strength Mr.. Bell by
way of contrast, exalted as large Shareholder
What is the fact? Mr.. Bell does not own a single
negro. A Nashville correspondent of the Cahaba
Ala. Gazette says:
As an item of news on good authority, was
informed that Mr.. Bell does not own single slave
This / was told last evening, by Mr. Carter, who
keeps the St. Cloud hotel, in this place. He is a
strong Bell man, and has been personally acauaint
ed with Mr.. Bell for fifteen years. He says he does
not know Of his ever owning any slaves, and that
he is positive he or his wife does not own one at
present. His present wife is his second, and he is
also her second husband. Her former husband was
wealthy. but his death, the property was left to
SIX children except her portion which on her mar
rage to Mr.. Bell she gave to him to pay his debts
AT present the family are in good living crcumstan
ces, without servant Of his own. The above is
certainly correct and send it to you on account of
the capital that his friends are trying to make by
reporting that he is possessed of one hundred slaves

SPEAKERsHIP OF THE CoNNoNs.-Pubc attention
is by this time, somewhat excited as to the organi-
cation of the General Assembly, and especially to the
question Of the Speakership of the respective
Houses. Permit me to suggest, through your COL
umns, for the Speakership of the Commons, a name
which has already suggested itself to many in
that conuection-Dr. Samuel L. Love, of Haywood
county
This is now Dr. Loves third session in the Legis-
lature, where he has acquired for himself envable
reputation, to which eulogy cannot add. To his
commanding influence and distinguished services at
home, the vote of Haywood county, this summer,
both for member and Governor, bears the best tes-
tmony.
Such appointment would only be graceful
and well merited compliment to gallant sold er in
our cause and to the gallant Democracy of section
which has never yet we believe, been favored with
such position. Correspondent Of the Asherillc

JoHN Built appears that Mr. Bell has been

able only to our enemies by his infirm purposes or
mistaken views.
He has been anti-Bank and Bank.
He has been anti-Tariff and Tariff.
He has been against all the Wing doctrines and

He has been Democrat Wing, and Know

He has been Jackson's warm eulogst and Jack

He has been Clay's maligner, then Clays friend,
then Clay's opponent
He has voted and acted against the Southern and
