The signs of the times, Judging
by information coming to us from
all parts of the country, are that,
as we'll as in Tennessee, a great
struggle is now going on in the
ranks of the present dominant
party, and unless some new policy
upon which all the different Gle
ments can unite is adopted its early
disintegration is certain.

TROUBLE IN THE KNOXVILLE
WING COMPANY.

For several days there have been
reports flying about of serious
trouble among the stockholders of
the Knoxville Wing. 1t was very
confidently asserted that that paper
would drop Senter and take up
Stokes. These rumors have called
forth an explanation from the
Wing, from which we extract as
follows:
From the fast flying rumors on the
streets y esterday, one would suppose
that Senter's friends in the Whig estab-
lishment, were sold out, lock, stock and
barrel; that this sale included Senator.
BrownlOw and his family and that the
editor Of the Wing was included in this
important transfer. Indeed, it was ours
remit y reported on the streets, Yesterday,
that gentleman who sspires to be Bear
den's successor in the sheriffality OF
Knox county, had said that the Browns
lows are about played out as to influence
or standing with the party, and that
Pearne was only holding on by his fins
gers and toes and would be soon shaken
off. Senator Brownlow and his friends
are not the sort to be set aside.
sold out nor pushed down so easily.
There is not money enough
in Tennessee to buy out Governor
Senter's friends, for the Simple reason
that they are unpurchasable at any
price. They can not be intimidated. They
are not made of that sort of stuff. Thew
know what they are about. They need
no guardian. They will brook no un>
lawful interference. As to the improbl>
bic stories about the transfer of the stock
and the discOntinuance Of the editor, etc,
they are probably gotten up for present
effect upon a floating class, who are sup.
posed to be influenced more by idle
rumor than by stern, solid facts and ar
guments. The stock
Of the Wing amounts to $4,000,
owned by eight men, each one
having vote for every thousand dollars
worth of stock he owns. The stock
stands as follows in politics, viz: five
votes for Stokes and five for Senter, with
two other shares, giving two votes, The
two shares not having been paid for nor
receipted for, are owned by Mr., Brown,
low. So that out of twelve votes, the
Stokes party lack two votes of carrying
the day. 1t is proper to add, one Of the
Stokes men controls four votes, and an
other one vote. The Senter vote stands,
including the two shares not transferred,
Brownlow four votes, and another three
seven.

CaOPs IN OTHER STATES,

The impression which has gener-
ally obtained that our wheat harry
est was from three to six weeks in
advance of States north of us seems
to have been exploded this season.
Fall or winter wheat has ripened
this season earlier in California and
quite as early in Southern Illinois
Georgia with her usual enterprise
had new wheat -four on the mar
ket IN New York two weeks ago.
The st. Louis Democrat ofthe 18th.
says: ... Odd.
Messrs. limbs, Meyer & Fusz exhibits
ed on Change, this morning, small
sheaf OF new wheat, grown in Southern
Illinois. 1t is species of winter wheat
known as the Golden Chaff, and the field
from which it was taken was harvested
three days ago. The berry is large,
round and full, and the wheat will aver>
age sixty two pounds to the bushel.
Over 100000 bushels of this wheat was
grown In Southern Illinois last year, and
the yield this year it is supposed will be
much larger 1t will be offered for sale
by the above named firm in few days.

BRowNLow ON DEMocRAcY-Gov.
Brownlow, who supports Senter for Gov
ernor OF Tennessee, and who is charged
&ith having enteredin COMPACT to resign
his place in the Senate to let in Andy
thomson, has published a card denying the
charge. 1t concludes as follows:
In conclusion, L have no confidence in
that Org inizltioa known as the Dem Jcratic
party either North or south. | can never
act with that organic ,tion, nor support any
nun for office who have re ison to believe
VIII be controlled 10y its partlsans Indeed,

ocrat OF the rebel conservative school. The
organization is chock full Of hatred of the
United States Government. and having the
hsh like neil of States Rights" it is un-
savory to the nostrils of M ,dern progress.
There are but two parties left in this coun-
try--the diminishing party of Democracy
that brought about the rebellion, and the
rapidly growing party of National Republi-
cans, who advocate universal suffrage and
the equal rights of all irrespective OF birth
place OF color. To this party belong, and

CATCHING WHALES BY ELECTRICITY
The Engineer says Ii. j. Rogers La, 81 :

Civil and Mechanical Engineers. Practical
whaemen seem. it is said. to think tavorab-
ly of it. a galvanic battery is placed in
the whaling boat with powerful induction
coil communications From the terminals of
the battery two insulated wires pass as Goa
ductors, throu- n line Of the size ord nari-
ly used to the harpoon, which is made with
two heads, separated from each other. each
insulated wire passing through the harpoon
to the points where they terminate The
handle OF the harpoon is OF course insulated.
In this harpoon the circuit would be com
plete when it struck the wha,e. According
to another plan, one insulated wire passes
from one terminal through the rope to the
end of "a harpoon having one point only the
other insulated w.re hanging in the water,
and acting as a means for the return current.

and other small fish without perforating the

means the dislntegration of anything like
peculiar Southern civilization, and the
abandonment, at least BY the intelligence
and responsibility of the South, of the hope
of rescuin anything considerable from the
ruins of its old institutions, and of ooposi-
tlon to the course of reconstruction.
The Virginia election is the first instance
IN which the best men IN the South came

GRAFTON, Nov. 10, 1863.-Foursc IRE
and seven years ago our fathers brought
forth upon this continent a nsw ration;
conceived in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal
Now we are engaged in great civil war,
testing whether that nation; or any other
nation; so conceived and so dedicated can
lopg endure. We are met on great bat
tle- field of that war We have come to de-
dicate portion of that field as a final res
tinc-place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. 1t is
altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this. But in larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground. The world will little
note nor long remember what We say here,
but it can never be forgot what they did
here. 1t is for US, the living, rather to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work
which thev who fought here have thus far
so nobly advanced. 1t is rather for US to
be here dedicated to the great task remain
inc before us, that from these honored dead
we take increased devotions to that cause
for which they gave the last full measure
| of devotion; that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation under God shall have a
new birth of freedom; and that Govern
ment of the people by tho people shall not
