AnIntoresting Fight.

The Conservative" are just now en-
gagged in 3 nice little family quarrel
relative 10 the Presidency. A portion Of
them, led by some Of the Ohio delegation
in Congress, favor Mcclellan, and = sort Of
War Platform; and 10 support their views
they point to the late defeat of Vallan-
digham, an IS evidence thst peace man
would be overwhelmingly beA ten; an
other portion, led by the Woods, reply
to these. men, by showing that in New
York. the Democrats were badly worsted
on War Platform.
The fight, We hope, viii terminate AT
Der the manner Of The Kilkenny Cat
tragedy; it is extremely desirable dat
The factions eat each other up.

Elections OfIse4.

A few days since an election was held
in the Tenth ward of Brooklyn, New
York, to ill vacancy. The Union can
didsie was chosen by seven majority
"A gain of over hundred since the last
election.
At the election for town officers in
BinghamtOD, New York, on the I'd in
slant, every candidate on the Union tick
ct was chosen by handsome mai Orities-
q result unprecedented in the political
history of that place.
Mr.. George SAndersOn (oppOsitiOn) was
reelected Mayor of Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vanis, on Wednesday By one hundred
and seventeen majority. Three of the
four Alderman elected are Union men =
majority of the minor officers are Union.
These are straws-but they indicate
the popular current. The Union msjOri-
ties Of last year, throughout the loyal
States will be largely increased.

HoTV The Institution OF slavery
was KiIIed.

HoTv The Institution OF slavery
was Killed.
In q speech in the United States SEN
ate, on the 28th ult., Hon Reverdy john
son of Maryland, said:
You who think that the institution of
slavery, is one which you have right,
aud which you do, in the language of the
Senator from Maine, Mr.. Fessenden, I
who spoke last yesterday, hate, Ct am not
at ell surprised at that you think, per-
haps, that you have destroyed the insti-
tuition. Il is = great mistake. You had
nothing to do with it. Such few of you
Il do not, mean Senators, I mean your
people-such few of your people az
desired to do away with it, had as little
effect upon it as the air of heaven, aud
not half az much; for that ought TO have
humanized, and does humanize the
human heart; and the heart bumsuized,
the institution, sooner or later, must ex.
pire. It has been put an end to by that
sort of retributiVe justice which is sure
in the providence of God to visit crime.
The men who were here preaching their
treason from these desks, telegraphing
from these desks-I saw it, though was
not a member, and my heart burned
within me II for their minions, or the
deluded masses . home, to seize upon
the public property of the United States,
is forts, its means, its treasure, its
material of war, and who were seek
ing TO seducs from their allegiance Off
GERS Of the Army and Navy of the United
Ststes-they have done it; and they
were told that such would be the result.
They did not believe il. They believed
that your representatives would not have
the frmness to try the wager of battle.
They Believed have heard them say
so-that = Southern regiment could
march, without resistance, successfully
from Washington TO Boston, and chal-
lenge for themselves Independence in

ignorance Of the character of your peo-
pie You were free, and you know its
value. You are free and you are brave,
because VOC are free and, as hsve told
them over and over again, let the day
come when in their madness they should
throw down the gage of battle to the
Free States of the Union, aud the day of
their domestic Institution will have

the Government will be sustained, and
the Union be preserved, l thank God
that as compensation for the blood, the
treasure, and the agony which have been
brought into our households, aud into
yours, il has stricken now and forever
this institution from its place among our
States.

The number Of steamers that have left

federate ports vas commenced is upwards
of sixty, and their purchase price
amounts in the aggregate 70 about 600, =

To the voters OF Davidson county.

When consented for my name to
come before you as . candidate for the
Office of Sheriff, I expected that the Regi-
ment to which belong would remain in
the county until after the March Elec-
ton, but the fortunes of war have placed
1t beyond the limits of the county, and
my duty to my regiment and country
demands Of me my absence from you in
the present important canvass.
allowed my name to be thus used,
believing that the already large and
daily increasing Unconditional Union par
ty should have a candidate for the vari-
Gus offices to be filed By you at the en-
suing election.
Claiming TO have been a member of
this party from the outbreak of the re-
bellion, shall if elected by you to the
important position of Sheriff, de all in
my power both in private and official
capacity, to crush this most unnatural
rebellion, and restore our country t. its
former prosperity.
The civil authorities have lain DOR
mant long enough, and it needs only our
undivided efforts TO restore them, and to
this end shall my energies be directed.
Oar State voted herself out of the
Union under the mistaken idea of pro-
tecting slavery. 1t is high time that we
were blending our efforts with the real
view of protecting the white man. And
how can we proceed to . more speedy
accomplishment of this desired end than
by = restoration of civil authority, which
was overthrown by this war, hurting
our citizens from the proudest and hap
piest position ever attained by man.
Then our trade and commerce were never
equalled, our farms were well tiled, our
towns and cities were making rapid
strides in the way of Improvement; while
now our citizens are down trodden, and
heart stricken, our trade and commerce
depleted, our farms lying waste, and our
towns and cities pillaged and blasted BY
the hand of the spoiler.
Would we return to our former pros
perity? Let as labor openly for the re.
organization of the State, and earnestly
cooperate with the war pOlicv of the
Administration and its agents! Yes, let
every man labor to return the State of
Tennessee to her allegiance to the Gov
eminent, and to renew her devotion,
which shall know hereafter neither
change nor decay. Devoully praying
that the madness of the present hour
may be soon checked, and we made once
more q united, prosperous and happy
people. Your Obedient servant,

Destruction OF Colts ArInory by
Fire


Fire.
The telegraph informs us of the par
t;al destruction Of the great armory at
Hartford this morning by fire. These
extensive works, known IS Colts "Patent
Fire Arms Mandatory" were projected
in 1850, by the late Col. Samuel Colt.
He han prior to that time, manufactured
his revOlvers at Whitneyville, near New
Haven, CT, bat the demand for them in
creasing very rapidly, be conceived the
idea of erecting ct Hartford an srmory
unequslled in the world in extent and
perfection of machinery. He according
lv purchased two hundred and fifty
acres Of meadow land within the corpo-
rate limits of Hartford, and surrounded
it with dixie or embaDkment about two
miles long, $50 feet wide at the base,
from 80 90 60 at the top, and from 10 to
25 in height The strength of this dixie
having been tested by severe freshet,
and it having been further protected By
covering the sides with willows, be
erected within it the armOry, consisting
of two main buildings, connected by a
central building, with other buildings
for officers, warercoms, watchmen's
houses, &c. In this establishment there
were ample accommodations for the
manufacture of one thousand firearms
daily. A portion of the buildings were
devoted 70 the construction Of machinery
for making these firearms at Enfield,
Eng, Tula, Russia, and other places.
New additions of buildings have been
made from yesr to year and since the
war the entire mandatory has been
strained TO its utmost 20 supply the de-
mands of Government and private par
ties. The distinctions of the works will
be severely felt by the War Department
snd the eight hundred lAborers who will
be thrown ont of employment.
This new buildings erected for the ex-
elusive mznufscture of Minnie rifles was
saved. The loss in machinery alone was
$500 900. The insurance is distributed
among the companies in Boston, Provi-
dence, Hartford and New York. The
amount Ia New York companies is vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to
$50 O00.-N T. Com. Id.

a screw In the deep sea trade. Seven
were padded snd eight new screw YES
sells. The total of their registered tom
mage was 500 tons, and they were man.
ned by about 500 hands. The havoc
that has been made amongst them has
been very great. OF the thirty that
sailed previously to 1868, only four have
escaped, the others being either burned,
sunk or captured while Of those that
left last year five hsve beon captured,
fifteen are still running, and the remain
der arc on their way out. During the
present month three more steamers have
left, and several are fitting out TO follow. A
few of the captured steamers only made
one trip, while others made over = dozen;
and on the whole they have paid their
owners very well, some Of them being q
source of great proft to all concerned.

more malice from the Louisville
journal.


The telegraph, a few days since,
brought the following from North Caro-
lima:
--latest Tuesday Evening, z O'clock
Newport is in possession of the rebels,
which cuts of our communication with
Beaufort. This also gives the rebels the
command Of the approaches to Newbern
by the Neuse river, should they choose TO
fortifY its banks. II is the impression
that Newbern will stand long siege.
This was published on the outside Of
the Louisville Journal Of Monday, and
on the inside, we find the following:
The news from North Carolina is IN
pleasant. We have been told al along
that The Federal forces could hold New
bern. B6t the rebels have captured
Newbern, and done so for aught that sp-
pears without resistance, cutting of cur
communication with our forces at Beau
fort, and securing 70 themselves the ap-
proaches TO Newbern By the Neuse River.
The despatch which brings the news
says tina. /" the impression is that New
bsrs viii stand long siege" We sup
pose this means that Newborn, in rebel
possession viii stand q long Federal
seige. But if it can stand 5 long Fed
ersl seigt, some curious people might like
to know why il could stand no rebel seige
at all. We cant tell them. Heaven
knows that orr troops there had time
enough to fortify..
It is scarcely possible 70 conceive Of 8
greater degree of malice toward the
Union soldiers, and officers, than is con-
tanned in the above. Having sold itself
10 the copperbesds, the Journal does not
shrink from the bssest fslsehood-the
most glariag deception, to iDiurs the
National cause. Gen. Butler is in COM
mand in North Carolina; JEFF Davis has
outlawed him, and the rebel Congress
has confirmed the outlawry and as an
Obedient serf OF the ollgsrcby, the Jour
nal seizss every available occasion 70
bear false witness against him.

Thus, then, would be the number Of
men which could be brought into the
service, provided there had been no
waste of life by the war, and allowing
that every man between these ages was
capable of bearing arms. But at least
40 per cent. must be deducted for iuvs-
lids, which will reduce the $751; 900 TO
about $4,000, to which add the 81, 900
above, and we have an aggregate of
381, 900. From this, we must deduct the
prisoners in our hands, and also those
who have been killed, have died, or been
disabled in the service, during the last
three years. Fortunately, we are not
without dats upon this point. North
Carolina papers, after examining official
documents, put the number for their
State at 10000; and late exhibit of
applications fox claims of deceased SOL
disrs at Richmond, shows the following !:

DIED.

In this city, on the night of the 9th inst FANNIE
daughter Of James W. and Clarinda Cain. This lovely
little flower, which has been prematurely torn from
the bosom Of her fond parents was born at Decatur
Ala, on the let Of March, 1854. For mouths past
her health had been gradually declining, and the
most transient observer might have soeu that she
was destined, at early day. pass hence to bloom
forever IN the heavenly circle, made glad by Him
who said Suffer little children to come unto me.
It has been the misfortune Of her parents, during
residence Of few years in Nashville, to lose four
promising children. Their affection has been truly
great. But let US trust that the Almighty Who has
ohastised, viii bless them in return.
Little Fannle's funeral will take place TO-DAY, at
PIP IL, at the family residence, MoGavock street.
