-Knoxville-i s soon to be re-lighted
with gas. The old gas works were IN a
ruined condition, but have recently been
extensively repaired by a new company,
and are nearly ready to supply the town
with light-which is certainly no where
more needed, and as the beuighted deni-
Zsns Of BroWnlOw's country, experience
the blessings Of new light, we hope it
NAV be productive Of a change from the
moral darkness which has so long and
cruelty afflicted them.
Judge Temple has been holding a
session Of the chancery court in Knox
vile, since Monday Of last week. There
is a very large docket to be disposed Of.
At the recent municipal election Of
Knoxville, the Fourth Ward, in which
BroWnlow has long resided, and hereto
fore considered the stronghold OF radl-
caIism. elected a conservative alderman,
Mr.. N. L. Claiborn, over his cornpetl-
tor, Br. Ludlow, though John Brown
low, the governors vlcegerent, was at
the polls, and e~lectiOneered his best for
the latter. Trifes often indicate the cur
rent Of popular feeling, and this being a
test vote on strictly party feeling, Is not
without significance on the eve of a cAh-
vass for governor Of this state.

The Winchester Home Journals
commenting on negro conventions, says:
We read of numerous conventions of
negroes over the Rlntry, to appoint
delegates to tAS conservative state con
vention at Nashville next Tuesday.
From the signs Of the times the negroes
are going to act with good sense and go
with their natural protectors. More Of
them will vote the conservative than the
mongreI ticket.
The Cleveland Banner Of the 4th
says: In travelling over the country to
Meigs county, we discovered that the
wheat r was looking remarkably well
for the season Of tn year; we predict a
heavy Weld IL it meets with no mishaP
between this and harvest. There is a
greater breadth of land sOwn this than
any former year.
The Nashville Banner of yesterday
says We are authorized by the Nash
VILE and Decatur, the Louisville and
Nashville, the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga. the Nashville and Northwestern,
and the Edgefield and Kentucky rail-
roads, TO state that all delegates to the
conservative state convention TO be held
Nashville on the 10Th Of April, viii be
furnished a return ticket free of charge,
their presenting a certificate Of the
secretary OF the convention that they
were delegates to said convention.
Again the Nashville Banner says:
Can't. Asa Hays, better known as Black
Hawk who commanded a company in
the federal army, from Henderson
county, during the late war, made a
speech in Lexington last Friday, ia
he declared himself opposed to
and in favor Of conservative
principles. He thought it all wrong to
exclude a man from voting merely be-
cause be had been IN the rebel y army.
He does net believe that the man WHO
as a brave and faithful soldier in
the rebel army throughout the war is
to deceive him, when be declares
bis willingness to renew his allegiance to
the United States government. He is
not afraid TO trust such a man. We re-
.oice TO see this evidence Of conservatism
IN Henderson county. 1t will tell in
he campaign.
