The Cleveland Convention

Composed Of "Conservative" SOL.
diers, who did not, we arc satisfied,
represent a very large constituency
at home, met in Cleveland on the 18th
inst, and proceeded, unanimously,
like the Philadelphia Convention Of
tho 14th OF August, to do nothing !;
or rather, they endorsed the proceed
ings Of that Convention, which Gen.
Schenck very aptly and truthfully
styles the "Ssy.nothing, Do-little "
! Convention. We have looked in
vain through tho proceedings to dad
any matter OF Importance to lay before
our readers, but find nothing but two
speeches from Generals Wool and
Ewing, on tho first day, and the re.
ception OF, and answer to, congrat.
ulatory dispatch from the rebel Con.
eral Forrest and other rebels Of Mem.

less, participated in the bloody aud
brutal riot which has forever dis

The Board of Directors of the Winchester
and Alabama railroad held n meeting at
Fayetteville on Tuesday, and adopted the
following resolution
Resolred, That the Executive Committee
be instructed to put the road under con-
tract with the present means with iron
authorized by act Of 1859, if it can be done
by law; if not, to put it under contract ac-
cording TO act Of 1852, and that they be in
structed to purchase sufficient rolling stock,
engine, etc, for construction trains.
The Pulaski Citizen ofyesterday says:
At last we have had rain-.just enough to
assure us that it can rain again. We thank
Heaven for even this little assurance, and
hope now to have more Of it soon. Portions
of the country had plenty, while others had
but little, and some places none, but we feel
better from the assurance given US that 1t
has not quit altogether.
- The saw mill of Messrs. REED d BAL
LESTINE situated three miles southwest Of
town, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday
night last between midnight and day.
About ten thousand feet of lumber was also
destroyed, and the engine materially dam

not ascertained. The origin Of the fire is
not known, but supposed to be accidental

The Chattanooga Union Of yesterday, says:
We learn that the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga Railroad Company will open the bids
for the contract for building a branch rail-
road from Bridgeport to Jasper, tomorrow,
and that the work will be let out immedi-
atelv. The road is fourteen miles in length,
and all the grading on it had been completed
before the war, so that once 1t Is commenced
it will not take long TO finish it, The build
ing Of this road will be a great convenience
to our friends in Marion county, and will
give an immense impetus to business in that
section.
The Cleveland Banner Of yesterday says:
We learn that on Sunday last good rain
fell in the north part Of this county, but 1t
failed TO reach Cleveland. We have had no
rain worth mentioning since the 18th OF
June, and Of course every thing like yege-
tation is burnt up.

LEwIsBURG, TENN, Aug. % 1866
Judge DAVID CAMPBELL opened Chan, cry
Court here yesterday About II o'clock J.
J. NOAH arrived in town, claiming to be
Chancellor, and that he came to open and
hold court He had a commission from the
Governor, he said and had flied proper oath
in the Office Of the Secretary of State. Judge
CAMPBELL refused to recognize him as Chan
cellor, and is holding court, claiming to be,
as he undoubtedly is, the legal and consti
tutional Chancellor of this Division, never
having resigned. NOAH demanded the
books, dockets and minutes of the court.
This demand the Judge and the Clerk and
Master positively refused, denying the legal
right of NOAH, as such pretended appointee
Of BRowNLow, to have possession Of them
NOAH left this morning for Columbia.
Judge CAMPBELL is proceeding with the
business Of the court, fully determined to
assert and maintain his legal rights. Every
thing passed off quietly and courteously.
The bar and people are astOnishad at Mr..
NOAH seeking and claiming a position to
which he has no legal right, in defiance of
the wishes and judgment of the entire bar
and people.
We trust that Major NOAH will not fur
ther consent to be the agent of the Governor,
since he is satisfied, or ought to be, that his
Honor, Judge CAMPBELL, has not resigned.
Mr.. NOAH may have been under the impress
sion, in accepting the appointment, that
Judge c. had resigned, and certainly now,
since he has been informed Of the fact, he
will not any longer desire to impose him
self on the district. MARSHALL

A WORD IN DEFENSE OF JUDGE
FRAZIER AGAINST THE VILE AT
ATTACK OF GOV. BROWNLOW.

EDITORS OF THE UNION AND AMERI-
CAM fnd'the following paragraphs in the
recentaddress of Gov. BROwNLOw, published
in the Press and Times of this date:
"The Judge being a weak man, and a po-
Htical partisan under rebel influence, de-
cided against the Legislature and in favor Of
the rebels"
And further on this:
"But those who know the man, those who
know that he was appointed to office by
Military Governor JOHNSON, that he was
laboring to have himself reelected by the
people in a rebel community, and that he
would never take a decided stand when the
rebellion came on, were prepared to hear
this miserable opinion delivered"
As unjust and malignant as / knew
RRowNIow could be towards those who
might differ with him, either in politics or
religion, | did not irish 10 belicgc that he
would so far degrade the position he
occupied, and the State whose honor
10 some extent is in his hands, rs to
attempt TO caluminate the Judiciary in the
person of one Of the purest and most upright
men in the State of Tennessee. | have known
Judge FRAZIER intimately for many years,
and this is the first time l have heard
him charged with being a partisan. In
Bledsoe county, where he has resided
TWENTY-FIVE wears, his name is the synO-
MIN for all that is just and pure, his repu-
tation spotless. He stands far above the
suspicion even Of dishonorable action, and
ALWAYS stood aloit from politics as far as his
friends would allow him. His character for
integrity and impartiality being such that
men Of all shades ofopinion freely left their
difficulties to his personal adjudication, salts
fled that his decision, be for or against them,
was right and proper.
The best and most consistent Union men
of Davidson cOunty-men who stood the test
of the irving years Of war and bloodshed,
know how far such a man as Judge FRAZIER
could be under rebel influence or how
far he could be under any influence in re-
gard to questions brought up for his de
cision. When appointed to the office he
now holds il was at the urgent solicitation
Of friends here who knew him well, and
! against his own wishes and inclination and
! so far from laboring TO secure an election 10y
the people, he has been upon the point
of resigning several times, and has only
been restrained from so doing by the
urgency of the appeals OF his friends upon
| their suggestion that the good Of the COM
munity demanded his retention of the posi-
/ ton.
among all truly loyal men" his decision
in the case Of WILLIAMS is eulogized as emf
nently proper, and, instead Of contempt he
has their appreciation for his manly stand
! in favo- Of the citizens privilege, of which
! Gov. 3. would deprive every man IN the
land that dared to think for himself-g he
could. In view Of the above facts, | have
only to say that it is a burning shame, that
such a man as Judge FRAZIER should be
illuminated BY such q pretensc Of a man as
the nominal Governor Of Tennessee.

BERLIN, PRUSSIA, August 22.-The Prus-
sian Commissioners have, with the sanction
Of the Government, concluded a peace with
Bavaria and Hesse Darmstadt The terms
are very advantageous to Prussia, and in ac-
cord with her original demands. Bavaria
cedes to Prussia the Northern District, COM
posed Of Lichtenfels, formerly called Upper
Franceine, and the walled town of COlmna-
back The Bavarian Government also I'M
dertakes to pay Prussia 800, 900 Of lorins as
an indemnify for her expense in the war.
Hesse Darmstadt cedes to Prussia the ter
ritory Of the Langravite of Hesse Hamburg,
a State which was admitted a member of the
Confederation of the Rhine in the year 1917,
and lies directly between Rhenish Bavaria
and Rhenish Prussia and Birkenfeld. Prus-
STA also obtains the exclusive right to garri-
son the Fortress of Mayence for which duty
Hesse Darmstadt hitherto contributed 1000
infantry Bavaria retains the territory of
Upper Hesse, which will be joined to and
incorporated with the new Confederation of
Northern Germany, the organization and
limits of which will be arranged after the
peace treaty is perfected between Prussia
and Austria.
The Prussian troops which have pene-
trated into Bohemia during the operations
against Austria, have commenced to evacu-
ate the territory.
PARIS, August 23.-The Patrie says that
the Emperor Napoleon will cede Nenetia,
which was transferred to France by Austria,
direct to Italy, to be held as part of the

PERTH, HUNGARY, August 22.-After the

sponsible Hungarian Ministry, after which
the Hungarian Diet will be formally re-

LONDON, August 22.-Ex-GovernorE EYRE,
of Jamaica, whose official conduct during
the late negro revolt on that island has been
made the subject of such an excited and
angry canvass at home, enjoyed public re-
ceptiOn at Southampton yesterday. The
fete was given his honor by his immediate
friends, personal and political, and the NUM-
cipal authorities took part in it. There was
a banquet in the evening. On the same eve
ming there was an opposition meeting held,
at which resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the course and rule of the Ex-Governor
while in Jamica, with great unanimity.
ATHENS, GREECE, August 13.-The Turks
have commenced active hostilities against
the Christians in Gambia, who treat as rebels
a number of consular officers, particularly
those of the United States, Holland and
Sweden. Theconsuls shave protested in the
name of their respective governments. The
Christians, or insurgents, are $4,000 strong,
and hold several important points against
the Turkish soldiery.

Judging by the great number of claims
that are daily received at the Office Of the
Paymaster General, those who believe them
selves to be entitled to bounty allowances
under the act Of July 2S, 1866, entertain
the impression that much viii be gained by
receiving the entrance of their claims to file
in the Office at the earliest possible day.
This is an error, and the wise among them
viii defer renting their claims and pa
pers to the authorities here until they learn
the nature and requirements Of the regula-
tons which are to govern the payment Of
the claims These regulations may material
" effect the characters and forms Of the APP
plication, in which case the last claims re
ceived will most probably be first settled,
while thousands are on file may need be re
tanned for necessary changes. Nothing Is
gained to the claimants, but on the contrary.
Much time may be lost, and the claims may
be greatly hindered by over haste in sub
hitting them for file.
Congress has provided free transportation
to Paris for goods and show cases in which
to exhibit goods at the exhibition, as well
as competent officers and guards to take
care of them.
