enEERNos HARRIS.

From tbs West Tennessee Wh!gl
The same considerations which induced us,
last week, to announce our preference for Gov
Harris az the most suitable man to remain at
The helm Of State, at least for another term,
seems to influence the public mind very gene
rally, and almost UNANIMOUSLY, throughout
Middle and West Tennessee. There is but
very little opposition to him, and under exist
ing circumstances be ought 70 be retained
witkout any dissent. The Nashville Banner
and he Memphis Bulletin favor the election
OF Col. VIM. II. Polk, while the Nashville
Patriot, together with every other paper in
Middle and West Tennessee, that we have no.
ticei, are FOR Gov. Harris. The Nashville Pa,
iri5t in an able editorial SAYS: For many years
past We have had party nominations, which
were sufficient Of themselves to indicate the
policy TO be rsued by respective csndi-
dates IN the event OF their election. That is
all at an end now. Our State has entered up
on a new career new conditions surround Us,
new questions are before US, and new themes
10 be discussed. The parties OF the past are
buried, the inscription, " No TesurTeetion,'
written upon their tomo. For the present, at
least, we have one purpose, one hope and one
destiny, and TO achieve a common result we
must think with one mind, and strike with
one arm. To this an overwhelming majority
Of ihe people are agreed.
Further on IN the same article, after stating
the issues upon which that paper agrees with
Gov. Harris, il says; And however bitterly we
have opposed him in the past upon the issues
Of the past, We will sustain him with all our
heart upon these. His democracy, as cur
rentiy understood heretofore, is just as much
at an end as our whiggery or our opposition.

the Ellsworth Zouaves, and other soldiers,
! have Just taken vengeance after tue most sum-
mary sort upon the house Of il-fame on Maine
avanue, where their comrads was murdered
last night. At the examination to-day no eV-
! idence could be elected from the occupants Of
/ the house as 10 who the murder was committed
/ by, and the ZouaVes, believing thore was an
l intentional suppression OF the evidence, SEEM
/ ed 10 have become so infuriated that, in con-
pany with other soldiers who sympathizad
/ with them, they proceeded to crack the "shan
/ tY," aud afterward set fire TO the building.
! The fire communicated to the adjoining houses
! Of III fame, kept by Sue Prince, and all three
! were soon wrapt in flames.
The soldiers meantime refused 20 allow anV
persons to interfere to put out the flames, bat
/ eXerted themselves to some extent TO prevent
the FIRE from spreading to the adjoining build
/ ings. Captain Goddard and the police force
were speedily on lhe ground, but could do lit
tle toward suPPrsssing the mob of infuriated
( soldiers.
About half-past three P. NJ however, the
sudden appearance of body Of United States
cavalry Company H, second regiment, lieu
tenant Ash) changed the aspect Of things.
/ The cavalry, with sabers drawn, dashed
/ through Maine avenue, scattering the mob
l right and left, and at the time Of writing this
have eHcircled the soldiers, and are making
arrests on all sides.
