Likely to be Governor.
WASHINGTON, July 2G.-Ex Governor
Sharkey, of Mississippi, is here, but
leaves to-day for the North. lie repre~
sents the condition of affairs in his State
as very hopeful, and great anxiety
among all classes to have the State back
in the Union.
The Conservative convention will meet
in September; and be thinks there is no
doubt about Judge Dent having the nom,
ination on that ticket. Although he is
not acceptable to many Of the bona fide
residents of the State, they have cons
cluded to accept him, believing that his
election will secure the readmissiOn of
the State The conservative Repubh-
cans will encounter much opposition, as
Gen Ames, the military commander, is
pledged to the ultra Radicals, and will
no doubt do all in his power to secure
the success of their ticket
James l.. AlcOrn, an old resident OF
the northern portion Of the State, is the
prominent candidate of the gubernatOrial
convention on the ultra Radical ticket,
though he has somewhat injured his pros
poets by several speeches which he re-
Gently made.
Gov. Sharkey has no doubt of the sue.
cess of Judge Dent, and that his major
ity will be very large if the election shall
be conducted fairly, as there are many
negroes who will vote the Conservative
Republican ticket The nominees for
Congress will be men who have been
Conservative Republicans, as it is the
earnest desire of the people of the State
to be readmitted, and no effort will be
made to elect persons who may prove OBJ
noxious to the administration, and thus
bring any detrimental results upon tn,
| interests of the State.

The WAY TO BUILD UP MANUFAC-
TORIES.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
We have had much discussion and a
great amount of gascOnade on the sub
iect of building manufacturing establish
ments in our city. We hope it will re-
suit in something more than discussion.
If the object was to build gas establish
ment many Of those now blatant on the
manufacturing question, could furnish
largo establishments and still have
enough Of that commodity left for home
use. The question comes up: Why have
we no large manufacturing establishment
in Nashville 7 Surely it is not for the
want of capital We certainly have men
who have capacity enough to manage
such enterprises. We have all the iacili.
ties for cheap labor, fuel and access TO
the raw material Then why do we not
have the manufactures The answer is
plain
There is not a particle Of home enter
prise among our worthy people. They
do not know what is meant by that term.
They would never buy one barrel Of flour
from John McCann, or the Reservoir
Mills, or from Dickey's Mills, if they
could make twenty-five cents on the BAR
rel by buying it in Cincinnati. These
home enterprises might starve 80 far as
they are concerned Many of our mers
chants will go to Cincinnati and buy
cedar ware made in this city and pay
extra freights and the profits to the Gin
cinnati merchant rather than buy it at
home. An insurance company starts
out among us. 1t claims superiority over
other companies, because it ID a home
company. and forthwith it sends to BOs-
ton or New York to get its blanks
printed, when any of the printing Offices
10 this city would be glad to duplicate
| the bill
Many of our people will abuse the
Yankees and curse their literature, and
then subscribe for one of their magazines
before they would superior one pub
lished in our city. This is what is tht
matter with us here. We are for every
other place more than Nashville. These
hidesbound ideas, these fossils of pas
are have to be banished. We sOmetimel
think one hundred respectable funeral:
| would benefit Nashville. 1t would give
Young America a chance to do something
Now the first step to be taken in layin.
the foundation of our manufactures is t.
develop home feeling Let us determine
to patronize everything made at home
and then there will be no difficulty il
enlisting our capital on the side of manu-
| factories. OBSERVER

DEATH OF THE SLEEPING WOMAN

Miss Susan c. Godsey, the wonderful
sleeping woman, who was brought to this
city some time since for exhibition and
medical treatment, died on the l4th inst.l
at the residence of her mother, eight
miles from Hickman, Ky. To the Hick-
man Courier we are indebted for the
following facts in regard to this remark
able case:
When about twelve years of age, she
was taken with a severe chill, and treated
accordingly by her physician. AS her
fever which followed her chill subsided,
she fell in a deep sleep, in which cOndin
ton she remained ever since, except at
intervals. 1t was her custom at first to
awake regularly twice in every twenty
four hours, and singularly, within few
minutes of the same hours each day, but
of later years she awoke oftener, so much
80 that many considered it an indication
of her final recovery. She would remain
awake five, ten, or perhaps fifteen min
utes, and gradually drop off to sleep
again. When asleep it was utterly i'm
possible to arouse her, She never COM
planned of any bodily pain, though when
asleep, she was very nervous at times,
and appeared to suffer considerably by
the violent twitching and jerking of her
muscles and limbs, and her hands
clenched tightly as if enduring severe
pain, but when awake she did not ap-
pear to suffer, except from a drOwsy,
gaping inclination, and a persistent effort
to cleanse her throat of phlegm. She
generally passed into sleep through viO'
lent parOxysm, which would last perhaps
five minutes, and she would then sleeT
awhile as calmly and quietly as an in
FAINT Miss GOdsey was of medium size
and her limbs and muscles well proper
toned and developed, and grew cOnsid
erably after her afFlictiOn.

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON GRANT.
Martial Law Wanted for the
South.
The rawlings OF q Fanatic.
From tho AntisSlavery Standard.

From the AntisSlavery Standard.
Cen Grant was commended TO the
country as a man of few words, but sure
te mean even more than he said, and to
do more than he would condescend to
promise. The few words he had uttered
were all gathered up and made the most
of The weighty sentences of the Dell
phic oracle were never studied with more
anxious care than were his rare and
brief sayings.
| A man who speaks 80 seldom and with
such deliberatiOn may fairly be presumed
to weigh all he says and each sentence
so treasured and built on is a pledge, to
which the nation may not unreasOnably
hold him. When he said, in 1866, al
never could have believed that l should
favor giving negroes the right to vote,
but that seems to me the only solution
OF our difficulties" men felt assured that
on this point he might be trusted-and
hence almost expected the eOuntenanee
which his inaugural gave to the Fifteenth
Amendment Indeed Gen. Grant may
be said to have been elected more on the
promises he had incidentally made than
on any express contract with the Chicago
convention.
Why then is not martial law pro-
claimed2 lie cannot claim that circum-
stances have changed, Georgia, Texas,
and Mississippi remain still in the same
condition, 80 far as their relation to the
nation is concerned, as they held when
Gen. Grant recommended this course TO
Andrew johnson. Has life grown any
more secure there2 We know that every
trustworthy witness who gets audience
of the President brings him evidence
that the same anarchy prevails. Does
the great Captain eat his own words2 |
Are there any influences in the White |
House that blind the eyes which saw so
clearly while in the camp2 We have
sometimes wished that some clear-headed |
and keen-sightsd adviser could approach |
the President But, after reading this,
we, know no one who couldput the duty in
a clearer light than the President HIM
self has placed 1T two years sgo.
Assassination for opinion is as fre-
quent-loyal men flying, or hiding, for
safety, while Rebels are firing salutes un-
der Confederate flags in Southern capi-
tails Is it King Log with paper
sceptre that sits in the White House
We were told that if we made soldier
President we should have a strong gov
ernment, full of decision one that could
not be bullied. For all we have seen in
four months, we might as well have had
in the White House clumsy James of
who always tainted at the sight
Of sword. Gloomy prophets feared
that und er Grant we should have a
coup d 'etat, and that he would take pos
session of the government. Thus far
il seems more likely that Beauregard
will make a coup d'etat and take possess
,ion of Grant WENDELL PHILLIPS.
