Lucky Printer.

Col. Geo. E., Grisham, who was yesterday
elected to the position OF State Printer, is a
representative "typo, of whom every print
er who delights to see the members eff his
craft honored may well be proud. He is a
native Of Tennessee, having been born near
JonesborOugb, Warrington county, on the 4th
of November, 1883, and a practical printer
of many years experience at the case as a
journeyman. He commanded a company in
the sth East Tennessee Cavalry during the
war, and did honor to his name as a soldier.
This was afterwards recognized by a grateful
Republic, which honored him with the brevet
rank Of Lieutenant Colonel, for " gallant aud
meritorious services on the battlefield at
MorristOwu, October %, 1884" During the
later part Of the war be served as Provost
Marshal on the staff Of Major Geu. Gillem,
in which position he remained until the close
Of the contest.
At the close Of the war, Col. Grisham es-
tablished the East Tennessee Union Flag, at
Jonesborough, aud has ever since defended,
through its columns, the principles Of the
great Republican party. II has ably and
earnestly defended the State government Of
Tennessee through every trial, and the pro-
motion Of its editor is bat a fitting testimo-
NAL on the part Of the Legislature for inval-
liable services.
This is the second honor Col. Grisham has
received at the hands of our noble Legisla-
ture, with a unanimity scarcely equaled by
the vote for any oth9 person who has sought
promotion at their hands, He was elected
Principal Clerk Of the House in October,
1867, on FIRST ballot, and yesterday his popu-
lerity was again attestsd by more than a two
thirds vote, against a worthy and popular
opponent, With whom there is not a word OF
reproaeh. To triumph over so worthy man
as Judge Harrison is an honor 20 be appre-
ciated, though the Legislature certainly gave
a just decision, az the successful candidate
is a practical printer, while the defeated one
ia not.
We feel confident that the new incumbent
viii serve the State in a manner worthy Of
the confidence reposed in hsm.-Press and

Discovery Of a Fossil Mastodon.

A correspondent writes from Fair
mount Illinois, to the Chicago Tribune:
Last Saturday some persons were cut
tinga ditch two miles southeast of
this place, in the open prairie, two
miles from timber when they GiScov-
cred the bones of an animal apparent
ly much larger than those ct an
elephant. One leg bone that | saw
was some seven or eight inches in di-
ameter at the joint, and many others
of a corresponding size; teeth five OF
six inches long, etc, The whole skele-
ton has not been exhumed yet, but a
party is forming to make further ex
plorstions. These bones are found at
a depth of about two and a half feet
in a common prairie slough. From
the description of the bones taken out
at Cohoes, New York, | should say
these are the same class, or belong to
the same kind of animal. l believe
these are the only bones of the kind
ever found in the State of Illinois.

but Major General Sherman, the intrepid SOL

first choice for the President elects success.

a military man in every sense of the word.
The destiny Of our country will be safe with
such men as General Sherman.

Governors Message.

We publish this able and elaborate State
paper in full on our first page. 1t deserves
a most careful perusal. Its suggestions in
regard to a modification Of the Franchise
Law must be regarded as most conciliatory
aud encouraging to those, who were engaged
in the rebellion, but are now manifesting a
disposition to abide by the laws aud accept
the result Of the war with cheerful Aequiss-
cence. The franchise should only be exlend-
ed as the spirit Of dislOyalty disappears, and
loyal people are not endangered thereby.

Letter From Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. n, 1863.
Cor, GEo. Il GRlsHAN, Editor Union Rag;
DEAR CoLoNEL -The result OF the election
on The 3rd inst, has sent a thrill OF joy to the
hearts of Southern l%oyOlists, which | wish
every Republican in The North could feel Just
one moment. Southern Republicans had
feared that these people did not fully under
stand aRd appreciate their situation here,
and that they would tHrn the Government
over to the Democracy. But those fears, | am
glad TO say, have all been dispelled, and we
now feel that our day Of deliyeranco is az
hand. We hope when Congress meets again
that prompt measures will be taken to stay
the hand Of the murderer and assassin who
has been too long permitted to shay at will.
When a Republican Congress nsxt coH-
yenes, and the world aware that Gen. u. s..
Grant is our President the Re5el-ku Klux
Democracy Of Georgia will be made TO know
there is yet a "GOd in Israeli | feel the ne
cessity for prompt action and vigorous meas
ures on the part Of Congress, il the lives,
liberty aud property OF Southern loyalists are
to be protected. For long and dark years the
Union men Of the South have suffered, They
have been submitted TO all manners of insult,
out of rage assassiRated IN the dead hour of
night, by masked men, way-laid on the hill
sides, patiently and peaceably, believing the
great principles and doctrines for which they
contended, would one day triumph. We now
hope TO see " the good time coming and we
long I trust, will realize tine facts that jus
tice may sleep, but a day Of retribu,ion is
d~awning-is near at hand-wben the blood
of thousands Of true Southern l~oyalists, cry
ing loud from the cold graves for vengeance.
We have many true and determined mea
vet, who wiliuever yield rs long as the lite
blood streams through their veins.
For they never fail to die
In a lust cau>o. The head may suck
Their gore; their hcsds may sodden
To the sun; their limbs be strung
To city gates and castle walls;
But stiN their spirits walk abroad.
AnG never rest vii the great cause triumphs,
Yours truly, &. p. A..

suicide Of two old ladies' in Sullivan
county. The first, widow Creswell,
who hung herself with a hank of

suicide was a family failing, as her sis
ter committed suicide several wears
ago, in Smythe county, Virginia, and
her brother cut his throat about Il
months ago, Mrs. Creswell was about
seventy years of age. The second
was a Mrs, Baum, who lived near

age. No cause is assigned for the act.

President Grants Cabinet.


The military career of President Grant
shows tsat be possesses the talent of sound
ihg the ability and merits of men. He al
ways filled subordinate positions with the
most reliable and competent men to be found
"a the country. The public welfare and
safety were the consideration that determined
his selection. In his new and not less trying
and responsible position, We have every rea-
son to believe, be viii display the same man
" courage, discrimination and Difference to
the general good. In looking over the vast
number of able and meritoriOus men to be
found in the Republican ranks, from which
he must select his cabinet Of advisers, we
think the strong claims of the erudite and
talented Hon. Horace Maynard should not
be overlooked. He is q Gibralter Of strength
to loyalty in the South. His unanswerable
defence of Republican principles and free
government has been heard and read from
one end Of the Union to the other. he is
perfectly informed on all political subjects,
aud versed in the Intricate arts Of diplomacy.
President Grant can find no one more COM
peteut for the position Of Secretary Of STATE
and the nation would be satisfied with the
choice. The stern, unainchiug lOya.ists Of
the South should be recognized for their de-
votiOn to the Union, and be called to take a
part in the administration of the govern
ment, for the sake Of which they have en-
dnred almost every in that could befAll a
