Mn. EDIroR:- have been a soldier,
and can appreciate their feelings when
they are unjustly attacked. ! am par
ticu'arly grieved when ] see that it is
done for political purposes, as in the
case of Myron w. Bailey, Esq, the
present nominee for Judge of Probate
in this County. While in st. Adams
the other day, heard man of inAu-
ence, electioneeringa against Mr.. Bailey,
because he said he was not competent
to discharge the duties of the Office.
/ made further inquiries, and found
that the story had its origin with some
OF the friends of Judge Samson. /
will not say that the Judge himself,
originated any thing of tho kind, be-
cause have always supposed him to
be above any such imputation.
/ have known Mr.. Bailey since boy
hood, and l am proud to say that he
is man of more than ordinary tai
cnts, and is in every respect qualified
and competent to discharge the duties
OF the office OF Judge of Probate AS
a lawyer, he has won a respectable
position among his brethren at the
bar, in all the branches of law. As q
penman, he may not quite equal the
present incumbent, but he is ahead OF
three-fourths of the Judges and Reg
listers in the State.
Then why this TRADE against him? Is
it because he few TO the rescue of his
Country, in the first hours OF its dan
ger, and contributed all but his life in
her defence, while the present incum-
bent enjoyed the emoluments of Office
with his family at home. and contrib
nted nothing? This is the question

the war was over, the Scared veterans

on land owned and occupied by Mr..
John Ryan. The water is soft, and
extremely pure and clear 1t has q
slight sulphuric taste and smell and
in this respect is somewhat like the
Franklin Spring at Highgatc. The
Spring is daily visited by large num-
Der of people who are testing its med
icnal virtues. Those who have used
it to a considerable extent, do not hes
itate to say that it possesses curative
properties, and in time cannot fail to
be widely sought for by invalids. The
water is soon to be analysed, when the
public will be made acquainted with
its ingredients. The location of the
Spring is very convenient and easily
accessible, it only requiring few min
utes walk from the business portion of
the town to reach it, Mr. Ryan We

The Tennessee Election.

The election in Tennessee, contrary
to general expectation, passed off in
the quietest possible manner. The re.
suit is a decided Union victory. Gov.
ernor Brownlow's majority will not be
far from twenty thousand. Trimble,
Stokes, Arnell, Maynard, Hawkins,
Mullins, Mum and Butler, all Repub-
licens, are elected to Congress by
handsome majorities Both branches
of the Legislature will be strong Union,
which makes the election of Horace
Maynard to the United States Senate
foregone conclusion. We give the
vote of some of the principal towns
for Governor. Nashville -Brownlow
3163, Etheridge 704 Murfreesboro
gives Brownlow a majority of 649
Columbia gives Brownlow 1449 votes,
and Etheridge 14S. Tullahoma gives
Brownlow ten majority. Humboldt,
IN Carroll county, Etheridge Ga and
Brownlow "a. Brownlowville, in Hay
wood county, gives Brownlow 764 and
Etheridge 1873. Gallatin gives Brown
low 800 and Etheridge 1872.
Many of the negroes voted the Con-
servative ticket Some of the freed
men who voted the Radical ticket have
been discharged by their employers
Employment will most likely be found
for them by Gen. Groesbeck. The
freedmen evinced great pleasure at the
idea OF voting, and in some instances
marched in solid column TO the polls.
Now that the election is over, it is to
be hoped that the troubles in Tennessee
will cease. The election has been
conducted fairly, the negroes being al
lowed to vote as they in their iudg-
ment thought best. They have been
addressed by Conservative and Union
speakers; but it is not at all strange
shat the great bulk of them should
think it for their interest to vote the
Union ticket, as they did. They evil
IDENTIFY know who are their friends.

VERMONT COMMERCIAL COLLEGE. This

last year under the direction of Chas.
A. }. Marsh, q Co, proved very sue
cessful, and we think that our business
men and citizens generally were high
ly pleased with the course of instruc-
tons pursued, and with the improve
ment made by the students.
The fact that every man in this
country expects sometime to do bust
ness for himself, and that we have no
other schools which pretend to give
the specific instruction necessary.
makes 1t very important that every
one should improve the opportunity,
which is here offered to acquire the
needed information.
Let every young gentleman and
lady who propose to attend school
somewhere during the fall and winter,
consider whether the course here Of
fered is not more desirable than any
other which they can pursue.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN CONTENTION
The convention at Richmond on Fri
day was not very harmonious. John
Minor Bolts was present, and in vain
endeavored to address the convention.
The colored men appeared to have
things their own way When the
business was declared closed, however
Mr. Bolts made a speech in which he
defended himself from charge made
against him. He fully indorsed the
proceedings of the convention of the
18th of April, and declared that if he
and his friends had been admitted in
to tue convention the day before, he
should have moved the re-adoption o.
the April platform. He hoped that
the colored people would not reject
the alliance of well informed respecta-
bic white men, who avow themselves
Republicans, for when the State is
again in the Union the Democrats will
again attempt to assert their power
and to put on their yoke Union and
cancellation were necessary to secure
success.
The wrangling in the convention is
certainly to be regretted; but it is be
lieved that harmony will yet exist in
the party in the "Old Dominion
