THE gentle rains rave visited us at last.
Every body seems to be rejoiced, but
more especially the farmer, as his ground
is now in excellent condition to put in his
wheat crop.
just after the rain Mr.. Jack Frost made
his appearance in our county, and we now
have gentle bracing and sometimes 'ssarch-
ing" breezes, which tends to cheer and
invigorate us with new energy, having
passed into a state of lethergy from the
hot dry weather, that we have had for
several months.

measured from tip to tip, six feet eleven

On last Sunday evening the Eastern
bound Mail train on the Z. T. & Va. RAN
Road was thrown from the tract neal
Limestone Depot in this county.
The engine was pitched into the bank
in a cut near the Depot, which accident
was caused by running over a cow.
BY the energy of the active Superin-
tendent who was promptly on the spot,
he brought order out of confusion. ana IL

DEFINING POsErIONS.

The Press and Times is moved 10
define its position It has a pen
chant for that sort of literary ex
ercise. The Radical party has split
in twain, and as that paper is the
great organ of the great Stokes
faction, it appreciates the import
ance of leaving no possible chance
for misconception as TO its position
upon the most important topic of
the day, that upon which depends,
not the credit of the State, not
retrenchment in the expenses of the
government, that the burdens of
taxation may be lessened, but the ex-
istence of the Radical party. How

approaching the magnitude and
power of its influence, and So
licitous that that influence may not
be turned into improper channels
by reckless politicians, intent upon
securing power and place, scouts
the idea that it has "gone over to

WHITE HANS AND BLACK
HANS PARTY.

The split in the Radical party |
possesses far more significance
than the mere question as to
whether Stokes or Senter shall be
Governor. While the Democrats
opposed candidate to the one Sc
lected by the Radicals for Cover
nor, the leaders of that patty held
the rank and file together by their
rallying party cries. But now when
it has become evident that the
Democrats will have no candidate,
the Radicals have commenced dis
integrating and resolving them
selves into two parties marked by a
line more distinct than has ever
been drawn in Tennessee. This
split threatens TO build up in this
State white mans party and a
black mans party. Messrs. J. M.
Tomeney and w. W.. Murray, of
Memphis, communicating to the
Press and Times vote taken on
the train which left this city on the
| Nashville and Northwestern rail
road on the night of the 2lst inst,
says: Every colored man on the
train voted for Gen. Stokes, and
that the "colored men in West Ten-
nessee appear to be almost mani
mousIy for him. 1t will be remem-
bered that Stokes boosted in his
speech here on the night of the
2lst inst, that he would go into the
canvass with a certainty that the
forty thousand negro voters in
the State would vote for him.
| With very few exceptions, the ne
| groes in this State have allied them
selves with the Radical party, and
it could be easily understood why
they voted for Radicals as against
Democrats, and why they were a
unit in the Radical party. But
when they continue this unity in
gefhjsanssO 60 sfGGtti HP only Radicals, it
ence as by the ties of race. The
negroes, with a unanimity which
has never characterised any nation
Of the white race-German, Irish
or any other nationality-in our
political contests, are reported to
have arrayed themselves for the
one Radical candidate, and the me-
groes who will vote for the Other
Radical candidate will be fewer than
those who voted the Democratic
ticket in former elections. The in
evitable result of this will be to
build up in the Radical party q
white mans and a black mans
party. 1t will perhaps be unfortu
nate for both our politics and the
negro race that this result shall BE-
brought about. But he must be
blind indeed who does not see thai
the split in the Radical party is the
entering wedge to the formation Of
such parties.

mural Tor a Radical, ihe i1eSS ana
Times is opposed to ''such enabling
legislation, and is nunablc TO say"
when the time will como for such
legislation. There seems to be no
redeeming feature in that class
called "Rebels," who pay nine
tenths OF the taxes necessary to |
carry on tho State government.
This fact weighs nothing against
the other fact that they are not
Radicals, and there is no likeli-
hood that they ever win be. In
the eyes Of this Radical organ, they
are fit only to be "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" for the
Stokes faction. Its wonderful how
circumstances alter cases. The
present editors Of the Press and
Times took charge Of that paper
only SO far back as the 9th inst.
Then ali was going on swimmingly
in the political world Of Tennessee.
There was not a ripple to menace
the harmony Of the Radical party.
They counted on the nomination
and election of Stokes as a fore
gone conclusion, and in this Bliss
full state they could afford to be both
generous and liberal--generous in
giving credit to "a considerable
number" of these self-same "RebS
els" for meritorious behavior, and
liberal in saying that they had at
least commended themselves to
favorable consideration" Even the
reservation which followed was re-
garded as a mild protest against
what they considered the inexora-
BILE logic of events was bringing
about. Here is what they said on
that memorable 9th of May when
they became organ-grinders.
| at is not to be denied that consider
able number of those who participated
in the late rebellion from an honest miss
apprehension of patriotism and duty
have, with equal candor and purity Of
motive, eheerlully acquiesced in the de-
cisions of the war, and by an upright
and peaceable demeaDor commended
themselves to favorable considera'
ton. At the same time, the pres
ent dissatisfied and revengeful temper
of a still greater number of the insur'
gents renders the immediate and univer'
sal extension of the elective franchise al
experiment too perilous to be venturet
upon. Should it, however, become thu
controlling policy of the Republican
party, we shall accept it in that philo
sOphical manner with which fixed Tact
ever so disagreeable, should be re
ceived.'
1 Now contrast this with the later
giving-out. Here was at least al
effort at liberality and justice

an overweaning confidence in tn
invincibiIity of the Radical part.

mark what a change few day
