The Campaign I'm Tennessee.

As the August election approaches,
the campaign in Tennessee wakes
warm and more exciting. The true
Union men, who, in Kentucky and
Maryland, went down under the del
uge of Rebels turned loose at the
close of the war, have bravely main
tanned their supremacy in Tennessee,
and are fighting their enemies with
heroic courage, and, we are glad to
note, with fine promise of success.
The Republican party of the North
view with much interest the contest,
and will rejoice at the triumph of
their friends in Tennessee, if they
succeed over the combined elements
of conservatism and rebellion.
We clip from our Tennessee ex-
changes the following items. as in
part illustrating the manner in which
the campaign is carried on.
The Memphis Aoalanche of last
week says:
We will publish next week full
list of the Brownlow negro emissa-
ries, who ply the river as stewards.
We have our list nearly completed.
Among the number is Capt Frank

ed Shaw, who is a member of the
Loyal League and is taking an active
part with the Brownlow marauders.

fraternity, and have been taking an

The Indianapolis and yincennes Rail-
road,


Among the various railroad projects
which are attracting public attention,
this is one which, if its friends are to
be believed, was to be built at once.
In fact, we had heard it stated that it
was already under contract. But,
from a reading of the Indianapolis
papers, such can hardly be the case
