PIXIES PEAK.

We received, few days since, letter
from JOHN L. Z. HAYDEN, who left this
city last spring for the Pixies Peak Gold
Diggings, dated Russell Gulch, Rocky
Mountains, October 6, 1860 and enclos-
ing sl,60 in gold dust for one years sub
scription to the Courier. The following
is an extract from the letter.
at hardly know what to write you
about this country, only it is very cold
here now some of the time - but the
prospect for making money next season,
! think is good There is gold here if
we can only get it out and save it after it
is out. There are some very rich leads
and very rich quartz, some run as high
as $500 to the cord. We do not expect
to make anything this year, but next
we are in hopes of doing better. Our
mill runs very well as good as any six

are very heavy here in running a mill

GREELY PANIC.MAKING.

The n. Y. Tribune attributes the panic
in Stocks to the apprehcnsions of disunion.
1t says:
"Stccks came out upon the market this
morning with rush seldom witnessed at
the Board, except in time Of panic. The
severe decline Of yesterday, aud the con-
timed sounding Of the disunion gong,
have at length frightened timid people,
and meu Of small means who are unable
to pay mp further margins in stocks I'M
der contract. The result is thorough
shaking out Of stocks under contract, Of
hypothecaiion with small deposits"

Received ian Tennpss1e.

Mr.. Douglas appearance in Nashville
last Friday was the signal for ground
swell among the people. The Patriot
(Bsll and Eyerett) says,
"The Douglas democracy have cause

their candidate for the Presidency on his
arrival here, and he certainly has no cause
To be dissatisfied with il. lie was met
at the depot by an immense crowd, who
hailed his coming with defeating cheers.
On alightiug from the cars, he was met
by Governor Foote and other prominent
democrats, when Governor Foote intro
duccd the venerable DR.. Felix X Robert
son, who, in a few remarks, welcomed
Mr.. Douglas to Nashville He was then
seated, with Governor Foote, DR.. Rob
ertson and Dr. Hurley, in an elegant
open carriage, drawn by four splendid
black horses, and was escorted by his
Eicnds in procession to the st. Cloud
Hotel. Much curiosity was manifested
10 see the great champion Of popular SOW
ereignty, aud thousands thronged the
streets through which he passed on his
way to the hotel.
AIT eleven o'clock Mr.. Douglas was
driven to the east front of the Court
House, where a stand had been erected
FOR the occasion. His arrival was the
signal for repeated cheering, which was
repeated as he mounted the stand and
stepped out in full view Of the multitude.
The balconies Of the City Hotel, the win
dows of the Court House, and Of all the
business houses from which the stand
could be seen, were thronged with ladies.
We will not attempt 70 estimate the
number Of people present. Some of the
older inhabitants pronounccdit the larg
est crowd they had seen in Nashville FOR
fifteen or twenty years.
"NIr Douglas was introduced to the
people by Governor Foote, and spoke for
about two hours. The crowd was 50 very
large that it was impossible for hundred,
we may almost say thousands-whc
were present to hear him, His speech
as his speeches always arc, was most
powerful one.
"When Mr. Douglas had finished speak
ing, Governor Foote announced that he
would reply to Mr.. Yancey tomorrow
night but the crowd cried Tonight I!
and he consented to make his reply las
night as soon as Mr.. Yancey should con
clude his speech"

CUR POSITION.

IA friend wishes to know our choice for
President. Our reply is {; the nominee Of the
Charleston Convention We fly no mans
standard until it is raised by the Convention
of our party. The following which we find in
Il e Hardin County Democrat defines our posi-
ton exactly Hilsborough Gazette.1
We think that those who claim to be the
particular friends of Douglas have not enough
toleration OF feeling and opinion. Every Dem
ocrat has r: ght TO his choice among candidates
ior nomination. Because you prefer differ
ent candidate from the one we select, does not
prove that you are not Democrat Let every
man express his preference freely, and after
the nomination is made, let all support
the nominee. But don't let your Jaih and
hope be SO aoropped up in one man, that you
DM be disappointed and cotd II he as not the
cano7idate. -
To those, who by threats endeaver tn induce
us to fall down and worship Douglas. and whu
have expressed so much solicitude in regard to
our position, We would say that we are a Dem
ocrat, and not Douglas man, or a Buchanan
man. We shall give cordial support to the
nominee of ii e Charleston Convention. If
it should be DOUG las, then will be for him, as
those who are now making so much noise for
him. If he should not be the candidate, then
we will have nothing take bnek- nothing to
explain-and no wounds to heal Up. And we
tell you franz ly that If, as some declare, you
make the present support of Douglas test of
fitness, in the nomination of county and dis
trict candidates, you are sowing the wind and
will reap the whirlwind. That is a dangerous
game, and we advise our friends to say as little
about it as possible. A man's democracy mus,
be tested by the support IF the nom nee and
,.sayes Of the party, and not by his opinions Q,

OLD SCHOOL REpUBLIcA NIsM
UerSuS
Modern Sham Republieanism.

The modern sham Republican party assumes
the distinctive name of the old democratic par
ty of which Thomas Jefferson was the leader
They are fond of quoting his opinions, and the
claim is preferred Increasingly that his prinei-
Piles are identical with theirs. We shall not
argue about tn matter, just now; 1t Is enough
that We present a series of facts, which defy
such analysis as shall favor the pretensions OF
these new found admirers of Mr.. Jefferson.
We want the reader to note that the old
Democratic party of 1796-1809 was strongest
in precisely those localities where the Demo-
cratic party of 1859 is dominant to-day. Fur
ther, we wish him to observe that where the
old school "Republicans" of 1900 were weak
est, the new light sham Republicans are strong
est In other words, the democratic party of
SO is entrenched, so far as ma jorities 60, in
the same States it held in 1796-1S09; and
the modern Republican (Opposition) party pre-
ponderates in the same States that were car
ried against Mr. Jefferson in 1796, and 1900.
Observe, First, That the stronghold of B ,ack
Republicanism is New England. The six
States composing that part of the Confederacy
are now represented in both branches of the
National Legislature by a solid phalanx of
Black Republican congressman. Every dis
trict has been carried against the Democrats
How was it in 1876, when, for the first time,
Mr. Jefferson was a candidate for the presiden-
cy? Not one vote was given him by New
England State-not one! John Adams receiy-
ed II votes, and of these, 39-nlore than half
came from New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass
achusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The
popular expression in New England was not
more decidedly adverse to Mr.. Buchanan, three
years ago, than against Mr.. Jefferson, sixty
years before. Here is striking coincidence.
What will you do with it? .ae53-.
OJseroe, Secondly, That, in New England
at the election of 1900, the result was precise
ly the same as it had been in 1896. Every
electoral vote-39-was cast for Mr.. Adams
for Mr. Jefferson, as before, not one. Thus a
second time was Mr.. Jefferson repudiated, ut
terly, in that very section that now as emphat-
ically repudiates Mr.. Buchanan. The old aud
the new-the man and the party of 1859
fare just alike! Will some of our modern sham
Republicans explain this phenomenon? Do
Or else shut up your mouths about Thomas
Jefferson, and Thomas Jefferson's principles
being yours.
In 1904. there was no systematic opposition
to Mr. Jefferson's reelection. In consequence
of this, the electoral colleges were nearly
unanimous for him. He received 162 vote
out of 176. Nine of the IA given TO Mr.
