PoLrrcAL.-We copy the following
from the proceedings Of the State Conven.
ton Of the Radical party in New jersey
Mr.. Hoxie, Of Passaic, and Stansbury, Of
Union, offered resolutions respectively ap-
proving of the execution Of Macmillan,
and nominating Grantsfor President in
1868. Both were laid on the table by an
overwhelming vote. The resolutions about
Grant was offered at the instance Of Mas
sachusetts Wilson, and he was very sore
over it's rejection, not hesitating TO aver
that the whole State had been sold out to
Chase, but that he was bound to have
Grant run in '68, and be thesecond man on
the ticket himself.

A New and Grand Epochin Medicine.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of new

whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
Of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virule4t sores with box or so Of his
wonderful and all healing Salve. These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrums Of
the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiels
Pills and Salve have opened the eyes Of
the public to the inefdciency Of the $50
called remedies Of Others, and upon which
people have so long blindly depended
Maggiel's Pills are not Of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and Of which eve
ry box full taken creates an absolute ne
cessity for another. One or two Of Mag.
giel's Pills suffice to place the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, Great
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyant There is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form Of constipation. If
the liver is effected, its functions are re-
stored; and if the nervous system is feeble,
it is invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
of delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptive
diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power of Maggiel's Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAaerEL's
BILIOUS, DYsPEPTIc AND D1ARRHEA PILLS

Experience has proved, that every soil
will sink under the growth of this plant,
(corn,) whether from the luxurianey and
exhausting quality of it, OF the manner Of
tillage, or both, is not very certain; be-
cause, instead of two thousand four hun
dred and twenty plants, (2420,) which
stand on an acre at six feet apart, with
two stalks in hill, az is usual Of middling
quality, you have three thousand six hun
dred and thirty (S,630) at six feet by two,
single stalks. = *sta *5I,,t*azi
The reason, however, which induced me
to give my corn rows the wide distance of
ten feet CO., was not because ! thought it
essential to the growth Of that plant, but
because introduced other plants between
them. And this practice, from experience
of two years-one the wettest, and the
other the driest that evet was felt on my
estater-I am resolved to continue until the
inutility Of it, or something more advanta.
geous, shall point out the expediency Of a
change. But mean to practice it with
variations, fixing on eight feet (8) by two,
as the medium or standing distance, which
will give more plants by three hundred to
the acre, than six feet each way, with two
stacks to the hill will do. al g.34;.; -
As all of my corn will be thus drilled, so
between all / mean to put in drills, also
potatoes, carrots and turnips, alternately,
that not one sort more than another may
have the advantage Of soil, thereby to as
certain the comparative quality and value
Of each Of these plants, as good for horses
and stock Of every kind. From THE trials
I have made, under the disadvantages al
ready mentioned. / am well satisfied that
my crop Of corn in this way will equal the
product of the same fields in the usual
mode of cultivation, and that the quality
of potatoes, proportion all to the number
of rows. will quadruple the corn.-( Wash

keeping up scattering fire as they
slowly retreated.
Mr.. Etheridge holding in his hands
a revolver, stood firm throughout, never
moving an inch from the position he
had at first taken. sssd
The battle lasted about twenty min
utes, by which time the Square was
cleared, and Only random shots were
being fred in other portions of the vii
iage. The first man to fall was a
white Conservative q bullet crashing
through his brain and killing him in
stantly. A Radical negro was the next
ball entering his side and passing
nearly through him. He died in a few
minutes after. Seven other persons
were mortally wounded while twenty
five or thirty received wounds more or
less serions. The wounded were con-
veyed to a hotel, where they remained
until other means could be provided
for their care. It is said the Radicals
suffered most, but we have learned
nothing reliable in regard to their loss.
As soon as the firing ceased Mr.. Eth
eridge left the courthouse and proceed
ed to his hotel. He left town by the
night train for Sneedsville, to fill an ap-
pointment there.
Trouble Is anticipated in other por-
tons Of East Tennessee, as in many
places the Brownlowites have sworn

he will not for a moment shrink from

though backed by all the ragged mill
tia in his despicable service.

Blanket Sheet In tho Bluos-Euterprise
Against Trustworthiness.
One of the numbering, dull, old-fashioned,
forty by thirty blanketsheets published in
this city under the misnomer of daily news
paper, makes itself very uncomfortable over
the enterprise Of the HERALD. 1t does not
believe In special cable despatches-sees no
reason why any journal should take upon
itself the trouble and expense of publishing
daily special kilograms of every important
event transporting on the other side Of the
Atlantic-does not understand it-sighs and
groans for the good old days when no news
was published until its reliability" was
assured by the arrival Of the mails, a month or
SO old; and deplores, above all, that the
public-the rushing, roaring, mad-brained
public-will insist upon applauding enterprise,
and patronizing enterprise, and preferring en-
terprise to trustw0rthiness"
The secret Of all this uncomfortable feeling
on the part Of our slow-coach contemporary
s that it cannot get over the special Bismarck
telegram to the HERALD, which not only gave
the FIRST information of the serious trouble be-
tween France and Prussia to our owa people,
but was telegraphed back across the Atlantic
and set all the nations Of Europe in a.blaze Of
excitement by first conveying to them the news
that they were probably on the eve Of gene
raj war. This great triumph Of the HERALD
enterprise seriously in!erfered with the
digestion and the good temper of our dull but
trustworthy neighbors, and their columns were
filed with attacks upon the Bismarck telegram
as bogus report, until the official statements
of the French and Prussian governments
proved that the HERALD was as well posted
upon their affairs as were their own monarchs
and ministers. We have no doubt, however
much our heavy contemporaries may fret and
worry about it, that in five or six years the
HERALD special cable kilograms will be regu-
larly sent back over the Atlantic day after
day, and will become as well known in Europe
as United States fve-twenties, and be in just
as little danger of reputation. We shall
spare neither energy, labor nor expense to bring
this about, and our chief incentive will be the
fact, so much deplored by our grumbling con-
temporary, that the public will so obstinately
prefer Z" enterprise" TO blanket-sheet trust
worthiness."
