Northern Men in the
South.

We copy the following FROM an
account of the recent Illinois press
excursion, published in the Hi
nois State Register, at Springfield ::
The talk about Northern peo-
pie not being permitted to live in
that country is all twaddle. 1t is
not true. This we can readily as
sert of our own personal knowl-
edge of several cases in point,
where persons known to be avow-
ed Radicals in politics went South
to live and make their future home,
conducted themselves as good cit
liens, which they are, and no peo-
pie were ever received with more
more cordiality and kindness, and
none do these same Radicals an
act Of kindness more readily than
the native Southerner. They are
anxious that people fromthe North
shall come to their country and
become part of it. but they very
naturally want men, not the scum
and the refuse of the North, who
leave their country for their coun-
Itry's good.

A DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE

COMPRISING its Antiquities, Biography,
~ Geography, and Natural History, with
numerous Illustrations and Maps. Edited
by WILLIAM SMITH, LII. d. Published by
the National Publishing Co., Cincinnati,
Ohio.
No book has been issued from the Ameri-
can Press for long time that deserves so uni
versal circulation as this. Bible Diction-
aries have been prepared in former years (;
some were meager and imperfect, and all
have ben outgrown Calmet's was surpassed
by Kitto's; Kitto's, and, indeed, oil Others,
have been far outrivaled by this of DIR. Smith,
of the London University, and the most e1s
inent Lexicographe of the English speaking
world.
Having finished this great work, DR.. 5.
then prepared condensed edition (the work
being in three massive octave volumes, was
too large and costly for the public generality,
which should include al that is best adapt
ed to the needs of Christian families and
Sabbath School Teachers. This is the Work
now repnblished in this country, whose
title we have given, and We do not hesi-
tate to say that 1T should 90 into ere'y
daOeLling where there is any desire to read
and study the Bible intelligently and with
profit. Every person connected with Sab
bath School, either as teacher or pupil, and
every parent should, by all means, avail
themselves of this Incompatible help.
This edition is in the highest style of the
art, largely illustrated with elegant wood and
steel engravings and maps, printed in clear
and beautiful type, and in every respect in
harmony with the high character and value
of the work. No House surpasses this en-
terprising firm in the artistic finish and ele-
gance of their books. And in the issue of
this they have spared no pains nor expense.
It has several special and essential merits
beyond the English edition, and especially
oUer any other reprint in this country. 1t
contains all the matter of the largest edition,
except numerous disquisitions and critical
notes or original Hebrew and Greek terms,
which are of no practical value to the gene
raj English student, and considerably more
than tseice the reading matter of the smaller
book. With all its elegance and embellish-
ment it is the cheapest edition.
It's having large and rapid sale, as nothing
but Strengthened means can induce any sctse
parent or faithful teacher to decline the of
fer of an auxiliary for the understanding of
the Scriptures.

OF building Railroads, we must rec.
ollect and take into consideration
the fact that the State has quit
granting SlO,O 600 per mile in State
bonds. Therefore whatever we
DO in the way of improvements
must be done by ourselves. Now
we ask our people can we raise
the necessary amount to build a
Railroad anywhere at this time !;
and even if we could, is it prudent
to do so?
Now let us turn to the other
side. Can we and ought we to
build Turnpikes ? The committee
appointed by the County Court in
their, report to the July Term
say that we can build all the
Pixies that are necessary in Lin
coin county for about S250,000
or less than half what the shortest
Railroad would cost. They sub
mitted plans also by which the
money could be easily raised, as
they thought, to accomplish the
object. But whether upon the
plan they suggest or upon some
other plan, we all know that Lin
coin county can easily raise $780,.
900 or 100000, and not be hurt
by it. We all know that this is
within the range of possibility, and
it is certainly worth striving for.
We have a Railroad now, which
serves many most useful purposes
It is true it ia not in the right
place, and we hope hereafter, tc
see it differently situated, hut we
must deal with it as it is. 1t GER
tainly does a great deal for us in
taking off our corn, wheat and
cotton and what we need are the
Turnpikes to get to it. We must
have Turnpikes in order to use
the means now at our disposal
And after we have obtained good
roads all over the county, then We
will join our voices to those de
manding Railroad somesohere.-
We must have Railroad, and in {
few years will get one, but we re
spectfully suggest to our people
that it would be more prudent t.
get our Turnpikes first, get some
way to get about amongst each
other, and then press for Rail
road. Let us all come up together
then, and press our county i'm
provements forward.

AnSaOer.-By all means go Muir:

Q.-Why to Murray & Morgan,

A.-Because they buy for cash,
sell for cash, consequently they
make no bad debts which enables
them to sell cheaper than those
who sell on credit.
Q.-Those are good reasons for
selling cheap, but have you nc

A.-Yes, they are aware that
quick sales and small profits are
better than slow sales and war
profits.

they sell cheap goods, and might |

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:
Thursday Morning, august 8, 1863.
The Election.


To-day Thursday the people
of Tennessee are called upon to
elect a Governor and Legislature
for the ensuing two years. For
whom shall we vote? We have
not deemed it necessary during
the canvass to print labored arti-
cles in the interest of any candi-
date. We have preferred to give
the position of Senter and Stokes
as announced by themselves, be-
Eeving that OBSERVER readers
were competent to judge iutelli-
gently as to the course that jus
tice and common sense would
prompt them to take. With
Sentec We have an express avow-
al that the elective franchise
should be restored 20 every tax
payer, that every man should be
allowed to vote, that test oaths
and other Radical shackles should
be removed, that the issuance of
State bonds should cease, that
Echool-fund thieves should be
throttled, and the expenses of the
State reduced.
Stokes, on the contrary, is for
restricted ballot box-that is, he
is willing all men should vote
when "Rebels quit numbering Un-
ION men )" and as he knows that
his declaration is based upon a
falsehood, as there is no murder
ing, we are authorized in say
ing that he will oppose free bal
lot as long as he can invent an un-
truth on which to base an opposi.
ton.
For these and other reasons not
necessary now to mention, We pro-
pose voting for D. W. c. SENTER
for Governor. And as A. J. TIP
TON is the Senter candidate for
! State Superintendent of Public In
struction, we will, also, vote for
him..
In the canvass for Senator, the
question is more difficult to decide.
A. C. MARTIN and A. r. DAVID
are both Conservatives, and occu-
ply, substantially, the same plat
form. There ought to have been
but one candidate-all admit that
but it is now too late to remove
the difficulty, and each voter must
cast a ballot to suit himself.
For Representative, there is
but one Conservative candidate
DIR. JAMES NJ. BRIGHT. He will
be elected, of course, and viii
make an excellent member.
For Joint Representative, We
have Mr.. LUoIUs ?. BRIGHT. His
platform has been published in
this paper. 1t is sound Conserva.
tive doctrine. We understand
that a man named SANDERS, OF
Giles or Marshall, we don't know
which, is also a candidateI but as
we have no information as to what
he advocates or opposes, we can't
vote for him.

finally made his escape. The
