COLONEL PRossER.-Col. VIM F. Prosser, Re-
publican candidate for Congress in the Fifth
Congressional District, is making splendid
canvass, and is certain of ar election by
whemng majority Wherever he addresses the
people the enthusiasm is overwhelming. He
speaks with no uncertain sound. He is
straight ont Republican, and, while he is dis
posed to treat all parties with respect and cour-
tesy, he has no bargains to make, no entangling
alliances to form with the opposition. He asks
the votes of Republicans, and of no others. He
marches under Republican colors, keeps step to
Republican music, and stands by the wel-tred
Republican guns.-Ndshrue (Tenn.) Republican,
October 10Th.
We are glad to hear such honorable mention
made of our old townsman and friend, and have
every reason to believe that the people of the
Nashville District have ere this rewarded him ac-
cording to his merits 1t is very gratifying to
know that Col. Prosser has not deviated from
the political path which he travelled when
resident of Trinity; that his devotion to the
principles of Freedom and universal Liberty was
so strong that when the tocsin of civil war
sounded he shouldered his musket to battle in
behalf of those principles, and that to-day he is
found fighting that inveterate enemy of Progress
and Right-the Democratic party.

senger of the PACIFIC Union Express Company

discharged from the service of the Company for
