The Triune Monster again.

We learned yesterday from JAS Leo
nard, an engineer on the Northwestern
Road, that while going at the rate of
about fifteen miles an hour, near Me-
Ewcns Station, in Humphreys county,
he saw what lie considered a telegraph
pole stretched acioss the track, about
two hundred yards ahead of him. He
slaekened off steam aud wlristled down
brakes immediately, and was ia grea, fear
he would run upon the object before the
train could be brought 10 stand. He
kept n sharp lookout, and after q few
seconds his establishment was great to
perceive the object moving rapidly across
the track. Before half the distance was
passed over it had entirely cleared the
rails, and was making into corn field
with the rapidity of race horse. When
II was found there was no danger ahead,
the train began moving rapidly again,
and as II passed where the monster cross
ed the rails, they could see his tail dis
appearing into the corn field adjacent to
the track. He left mark behind him
in the soft earth as if log had been
hauled over II. - When the train reached
McEwen' the ngineer made inquiries of
the people if they had seen anything of
the sort. They had heard an hour or
two before of the depredations of the
monster about six miles in the direction
whence it had -trayeled Two farmers

snake was making for the West. When
notes were comparsi they felt relieved,

the huge animal was toward the Missis-
sippi, and that they would not be troub-
led 10y his presence again. The engineer
describes HIM of dark color, without
any gloss or slime, but rather velvety,
about forty ft>f long and as thick round
as very stout telegraph pole. In going
into The corn field he pulled down whole
section of fence, breaking two or three
of the rails. 1t is evident that this is
the same that made the people of Triune
so uncomfortable a little over a month
ago.
Whether the Tennessee will impose Z
barrier to his progress or not is matter
Of speculation. The depredations which
he may be expected to commit before h,
reaches there are awful to contemplate
Now is the time for some Tennessee MIN
rod TO immortalize his name by Kidding

people have look out for him. He vii

Corhett is at present one of the most use

Legislature, in which body he has held
a seat srthe last six years. Last winter
he stood second with the Democracy for
Speaker of the House, aud probably, If
he had not hailed from this always neg

been elected. lIo is Democrat OF the
stauuchest order, and has been in public
life ever since he has been of age. He
was elected one term by our people to the
position of Commonwealth Attorney
OF this District, and since the expiration
of that torn, has occupied seat in the
Senate and Lower House of our State
Legislature. This gives him large ox-
porieaee as public man and legislator
aud an extensive acquaintance with the
people of this District. If elected, we
doubt not, he will make a true aud good
representative.

the following editorial notice:

his we'll achieved military honors would

Seymour aud the South, than he eau
hope to have cast in disfranohisod Tenn
essoo. OR f he had kicked this CORES
pondent out of his room as he did the
hummer in New York, the effect would
have been good. Southern democrats who
have heard any Political discussions in the
Northern States during the present cam
paign will well consider our idea. In
those States the Radical speakers eager
ly catch ut such sensations as Forrest
kuklux conversation, aud no matter how
grossly miSrcprcSented, they study 10
prevent ray explanation ever reaching
the people. Those speakers arc trying
10 dodge the discussion of such ques-
tionS as taxation, The corruption of their
party, etc, and instead the old rallying
cries of the war are raised, and their
stump orators talk to the people as il
they were certain to be soon called upon
20 fight the battles of the late war over
again. Such sentiments are strengthen
ed by the stories of rebel outragcs upon
Union men in the South, and the sup
posed armed organization of our people
as if preparatory for the coming conflict.
In the late Vermont elections report Of
au actual collision in Tennessee was
sounded all over the State, aud many a
verdant Vermonter went to the ballot
box under the impression that hostlitios
had resumed, and hence we see the Radi
Gals made unexpected gains in the State.
We have heard most improbable, uay
impossible stories, charged against the
kuklux organization, and reported state
ments of General Forrest cited as proof.
Gen. Forrest is not politician, aud like
many other great military ehieftains viii
never be. Citizens cannot be commanded
aud handled by the discipline which SO
we'll govern bodies of soldiers. General
Forrest, in our opinion, would do. his
eountry-best service at this time, by
leaving the management of the political
boards in Tennessee to such friends as
Isham G. Harris, Neil S. Brown, Landon
c. Haynes, En-. Etheridge, and Others,
whose lives have been devoted to affairs
