Politics i'm Tennessee.
PROBABLE Result of the Campaign-EH.ct
OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Letter--Ex-Presi-
dent JOhnsOn's Chances for the Senate.

WASHINGTON. August Tx Supervisor
Noah, OF Tennessee, who is now here, brings
some additional information in relation to
the campaign in that State. His opinion
is that Senter viii be elected by from
20, 900 to 10000 majority, and, although
the Legislature will be democratic or con-
servative, he does not think the State is
wholly lost to the republican party. He
says the federal officeholders were almost
unanimous in the support of Senter until
Secretary Boutwell's letter was published.
They looked upon that as an intimatlon
that they were expected to vote for Stokes.
They are somewhat indignat over the let
ter, and think they should have been al
lowed to decide for themselves, especially
as the contest was between two avowed re-
publicans.
The fight for the Senatorship will be
very lively, but it is as yet Impossible to
guess at the result. Mr.. Noah does not
think it improbable that a republican may
be elected; he is certain that exPresident
Andrew johnson has no chance His
greatest opposition comes from Neil s.
Brown and the old line wings. Emerson
Etheridge, who will be elected to the State
Senate, will also be candidate for the
United States Senate, but the republicans
will hold the balance of power. Edmund
Cooper, who was Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury under Mr.. johnson, will also
be in the State Senate. but he will not
support his former patron. MIR. Johnson
is very anxious to come back to Congress,
but tie opposition to him is too strong, it
is thought.
Mr.. Noah says that some time ago Mr..
Stokes was offered the u. s. Senatorship
if he would withdraw from the gubernato
rial contest, but he declined, and to this la
attributed the present disorganized state of
affairs. It is also urged against Stokes
that he had declared himself opposed to
the extension of the suffrage in East Ten
nessee, while in the middle counties he
wanted to extend it to all who might ask
for it. AS to the future condition OF the
State, Mr. Noah thinks that when all the
noise and confusion incident to the section
has died away, the old wings will fail to
agree with the democrats, but will fall into
the republican ranks, and he believes that
a moderate republican administration con
hold the State.

The California FLYING Machine

The San Francisco Bulletin of July 81
describes a trial of the "Avitor" in the
Industrial Pavilion. Some modification
had been made in its construction since
former trials. The machine is apparently
forty feet long, ten to fifteen feet in diam
eter, with light frame work around it, of
bamboo and pine, with muslin planes on
each side to raise the machine. A ribbed
propeller-shaped like steamship's-of
bamboo and muslin on each side at the
centre, propels the machine ahead, the
power being an alcohol steam engine of
brass.
The Bulletin says:
After considerable delay the imitation
was completed, so that the Avitor was able
to maintain its position free of the floor.
set in motion by the miniature steam en-
CINE, when it started easily ahead. the pro-
pellers turning at about sixty to eighty
revolutions per minute. The machine was
propelled, at speed equal to rapid walk,
twice around the large building. It was
evident that it could be moved at more
rapid rate, but the distractions of the gas
pipes prevented it. A speed of five miles
an hour could have been attained without
doubt. 1t was easily elevated or depressed
by means Of small cords at the bow and
stern. OF how much use the tail would be

cords. The flight was SO far successful, and
elected round of applause. Engineers
connected with it are confident that a
larger machine, now under way, one hun
dred and fifty feet long, will be success.

The election of Walker Governor of Virginia,
has been a sore blow for Radical thieves. From

The following few lmes from the fredericksburg

seeing:
BURIAL SONG OF THE CARPET. DAGGER.
Not drum was heard nor funeral note,
AS his corpse to oblivion we hurried.
Not groan escaped gentleman's throat
When the carpet-bagger was buried.
We buried him deep in dirty coll
SO deep that they'll never uncover him,
Unless some Radical boring for Oil 4him.

His coffin made OF ballot box,
With white mems votes We bound him,
And he looked like balloon taking his rest,
With his linen buster around him.
