ear. George II. Thomas.

The Louisville Courier thinks Gen.
THOMAS is playing his cards admira-
bly,. 1t says he is little modest and
requires some coaxing, but if there is
not some unfortunate step, he will ba
sure as fate, the Radical candidate for
the next Presidency. To show how
things are going, it clips the following
from the Nashville Press and Times of
Thursday:
LETTER FROM MAJOR GEN. GEORGE H.
THOMAS.
The following Enthusiastically
modest letter from the Hero of Nash
vile to Senator Senter, will be read
with interest:
Gen. Thomas, while expressing his
gratitude to his friends in Tennessee,
peremptorily declines to have his
name associated with the Presidency.
Nevertheless, there are indications In
the Northwest that voice more po-
tent than that of loyal Tennessee will
determine this question, or, rather,
that the word spoken in our State
Convention will be re-echoed like the
voice of many waters from the lips of
the men who saved the Union, across
the Ohio and Mississippi. That voice
Gen. Thomas himself cannot disobey
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 4, 1867.
Hon. d. C. w. iSenter, State Senate,
Nashville, Tenn:
DEAR SIR: Feeling that you were
actuated by friendly motives when
you introduced the resolution in the
Union Convention of the 22d ult., at
Nashville, nominating me as the
choice of the Union men Of Tonnes
see as the next President of the
United States, have felt free to ac-
knowledge my high appreciation of
your friendship, as well as of the
complimentary manner in which the
resolution was received and adopted
by the convention. ,
But being July aware of my dis
qualification for the high and respon-
sible office for which [ find myself
nominated so unexpectedly. cannot
think, for one moment, of allowing
my name to be used in connection
Herewith. Having been educated as
a soldier, and served for the past
twenty years in the army, ] am much
better qualified to continue my duties
as a citizen of the United States in
that department of the Government
than in any other. / therefore have
toirequest that you will make known
my sentiments in the matter to the
citizens of Tennessee. ta8a ssa
| remain most truly yours,
GEO. Ell. THOMAS.

The Suffering in Alabama.

Our columns have heretofore pre-
sented the appeal for help made by
Messrs. L. j. Standifer and John B.
Walden, of Cherokee County, Ala
bama, In behalf of sufferers in their
section of that State. Nearly one
third of the inhabitants of the county
named are on the verge of starvation,
No organized effort has been made to
meet the cause they represent until
the Board of Officers of the Chamber
of Commerce, on Tuesday, appointed
a committee, consisting of Messrs. R.
nj. Bishop, A. Il. Chamberlain, E. j.
Buckingham, r. j. Menifee, and Jas.
III. Glenn, to indicate the best man
ner of attaining the object sought.
These gentlemen submitted their
report yesterday, in which they urge
that donations be made by the citi-
zens of any thing that these sufferers
may require. Persons who desire to
contribute any thing can do so BY
sending articles or money to either
Messrs. r. NJ. Bishop, E. j. Bucking-
ham, r. j. Menefee, A. E. Chamber
lain, or James NJ. Glenn. The Mem
phis Packet Company at, once pro-
posed to transport. free of cost,
any thing that may be contributed.
The New Orleans steamers, through
Capt. Bachelor, their Superintend-
ent, offered to transportlstutf daily, as
required, to the extent of 1000 sacks
of corn, without Charge These gem
erous offers were applauded, and it is
to be hoped that they will be literally
used. The people should not wait to
be personally called upon, nor should
they forget the injunction as to a
cheerful giver.
Farmers and persons of interior
towns would do well to heed this op-
portunlty to do a generous act of be-
nevolence.-Ctn. Commercial.

Goods at Value.

We have the most complete stock
of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods, suit
ed to the season, which we will sell off
cheap until March. We make no
ridiculous pretensions by advertising
articles cheap, and when customers
call for them "are just out" or by
pretending to sell at cost (cost to Gus
toners, of course). Many goods are
high enough at Eastern cost.
With many thanks to our friends
and customers for the past VERY
LIBERAL PATRONAGE, we enter the
new year with a confident hope of
continuance of the same, and promise
to leave nothing undone to merit it.
