We would suggest the name OF this dis
tiuruished gentlemen iD connection with the
Speakership OF the Senate of Tennessee. Nc
member of that body is better fitted Tor that
important station. Possessed OF extensive
parliamentary experience, acquired both In
the Congress of the United States aud our
State Legislature, OF quick perception, OF
prompt decision, aud the most graceful and
uniform amenty and dignity OF manner; ne
would aduru the chair of the Senate and dis
charge Its duties with high satisfaction 10
that body and to the public.
He is besides statesman of enlarged ca
pacity and eminent talents-a consideration
of special Importance just now In the Sc
lection of the Speaker Oi tie Senate as py
the gubernatoral Office becoming vacant, he
NAV be called on as Governor IL oD5cto, to
pilot the State through her present perils.
On this account the public have particular
interest, at this time, in the selection OF the
Sneaker of the Senate. No selection thai

| In his political antecedeuts, an old line

not offend the lingering jealousies or antlpa

from New Orleans that Confederate Treasury
Notes are now at par in that city. Thus they
are now at par from the Potomac to the Rio

hibited of a people, united IN receiving the
credit issues OF their Government, In all
commercial transactions, without discount.
Such a unanimity in sustaining the Govern
ment was never perhaps. exhibited by any
people. Not only DO they offer all they pos
sess to sustain their cause. but every man Is
ready and willing to take the field II defense
of his rights, liberties and fireside.
tits remarkable aud sublime exhibition
of devotion, In this connection, that the great
State of Ohio has but eighteen regiments in
the field, while Virginia, with not more tnsn
one. third of its white population, has sixty
Eve thousand volunteers in the field. This
example should inspire US with fresh courK ge
and animate Us with unsonquerable Zeal, In
our great cause.
