TENNESSEE POLITICS.
NASHVILLE, July IL.

NASHVILLE July LIE
The Registrar difficulty in this county
was settled yesterday by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Sheridan. and the appoint.
ment of Mr.. E. F. Mulley. The ap-
pointee Is q sound Republican, and a
gentleman in every way qualified for
the position. He will take possession
of the office and begin his work imme-
diately. All the citizens of this city
and county entitled to vote will be
promptly registered, and no others.
A convention of Stokes Republicans
for this county yesterday nominated
candidates for the Legislature. One OF
the two nominees for the Lower House
is a colored man, the other Is white
man, who says he is for universal
suffrage.
J.J. Roach, nominated as a Stokes
candidate for the Legislature from Car
roll county, has come out for Senter.
1t is ascertained that the members
of the Grant electoral ticket OF last
year, with one exception support Sem
ter.
The campaign for West Tennessee
will open tomorrow, at Johnsonville,
with a debate between Senter and
Stokes.
The letter of Gen. Joe. Cooper decIar-
ing for Senter has had q great effect
among the Tennessee Union soldiers,
and they are rapidly abandoning
Stokes.
All reports and kilograms that Andy
johnson will stump for Senter are false.
Gov. Seuter is fighting his battle
squarely upon the platform OF the Ma
tionRl Republican party, and has no
afhliation with Andy johnson in any
way,

Anothor Ocean mIstery.


The steamship United Kingdom. as
most OF our readers are now aware,
sailed from the port of New York, for
Glasgow, on the 10th of April last. She
had fair cargo on board, and goodly
number of passengers. On the goth, the
day after she sailed, she was spoken
some one hundred and fifty miles from
Sandy Hook. 1t is supposed by SOME
hundred miles from New York. This
is all that we know of the United King
dom since she last left her harbor in
these waters. 1t Is now a long time
since April l9. April is gone: May and
June have followed, and now we have
entered uLon July; but the fate of the
United Kingdom is still unknown.
That she has perished with all
on board it is now reasonable to con.
clude; but from what cause, or in what
circumstances, we are left to conjecture.
On the 26th of April, six days after the
United Kingdom sailed, the City of
Paris arrived in this port and reported
icebergs and heavy gales in the neigh
borhood of Cape Race. 1t is possible
that the United Kingdom perished
amid these gales, and probably from
collision with an iceberg. 1t is hard to
give up hope, but we are not left any
foundation on which longer to lean.
Like the Hibernia, of painful memory,
the United Kingdom has no doubt gone
down; but, unlike the Hibernia, has, in
all probability, carried with her entire
living freight. II is in fact another ter
rlble sea tragedy-all the more terrible.
in truth, that no one has survived to
tell the tale,

Tho "Duncan Letter."

Daring the present canvass in Temp
essee we have been ;hearing a great
deal about "the Duncan Letter" which
Senter has raked up against Stokes and
used with telling effect. We confess to
having had good deal OF curiosity to
see this celebrated letter; and suppos-
ing our readers are afflicted with like
curiosity, we reprint the letter below as
we find 1t in the Tennessee correspon-
dence of the last Cincinnati Commercial:
"LIBERTY. May 10, 1861.
"Mr. John Duncan, McMinnyille:
"DEAR SIR-1 have just learned from
a friend that there is some gross mis-
representations going the rounds of
your section, in regard to my position
in this trying crisis, and for the benefit
of yourself AMI others, 1 write this. 1
had been n Jealous advocate OF the
Union up to the time OF Lincoln's call
for seventy-fve thousand troops; that
being in violation of the law, and for
the subjugation of the South, CON-
mend Governor Harris for his course,
and for arming the State, and for resist
ing Lincoln to the point of the bayonet,
and have enrolled my name as vol
untecr to resist his usurpation, have
in Congress and out, opposed coercion
that 1t was better to recognize the inde-
pendence of the Southern Confeder-
acy,' than to attempt to coerce them
back.
~ have always opposed secession,
but l claim the right OF revolution. and
the right to resist the oppression of the
FedarAl Government, and to throw of
their allegiance to the same when that
oppression becomes intolerable. That
time has now come. l have been, and
am now, for standing by the border
slave States. for they are to be the great
sufferers during the great conflict. l
am opposed 10 being tackled on the
Southern COnfederacy, at present, ex-
cept as military league. But when
peace is restored, If the two nations can
not live in peace, let all the fifteen States
elect delegates, meet in convention,
form their constitution and su bmit 1t to
the people for their ratification. The
South ought to be a unit during the
war, by all means.
Il had announced myself as candi-
date for reelection, but on receiving
LincoIn's proclamation for troops, l
abandoned the canvass at once, and
am no candidate. l claim to have done
my duty, in trying to heal our difficult
ties aud restore peace. That having
failed, 1 shall now march forward in
the discharge OF my duty in resisting

put me down. Time will tell where we

Ventilation.

The report OF the Committee OF the
Controllers of the public schools OF
Philadelphia appointed to report upon
the subject of the ventilation OF the
public schools, refers to matter Whicn
Is of great general Importance, and
contains suggestions which are worthy
the consideration not only OF tnose
having charge OF schools, but OF chur-
ches, public halls and even private
dwellings. Enlightened medical e1-
perience Is unanimous that vitiated air
not only produces stupor OF mlno'
headache and predisposition to take
cold, but that il either causes or greatly
aggravates the most malignant diseases
such as feyers, iufiamatIons, infantile
maladies, cholera, scrofula and con-
sumption. The fetid vapors thrown
off in the breath and by insensible per-
spiration from large numbers OF
crowded children during school hours
and the narcotic poison, carbonic acid
gas. frequently generate lung diseases
and scarlet fever. The report before us
caIIs attention to the fact that the best
has. by no means yet been done fol
ventilation which it is in the power O
akin and science to accomplish, inas
mnch as it has been the usage to At
temnt to yentilate from the top, in vio
lation of the law that vitiated air falls
hnt does not rise. The plan recon-
,nended bv the committee, and Whict
has been adopted for the aImsnOuSe

school buildings, and which Is In ao

tion Of the name and services OF Gen.
Joshua W. Sill, killed at the battle of

General Stanley, commanding Fort

murder OF two young citizens named
Anderson and Henderson, on June 9Th.

Missouri. The murder was done by
Brule Sioux Indians, who escaped.
Major General Hartsuff, Assistant
Adiutant General, returned to head
quarters from the West on Saturday.
1t Is now reduced TO nearly cer-
talnty that the statement attributed to
John Sumner. of the loss of the Powell
Exploring Expedition, is without
foundation. 1t is quite certain that
when Mr.. Sumner has not returned
from the expedition to report its de-
struction three weeks ago, he would
certainly have been heard from ere this
by telegraph, by letter or in person, by
Mrs. Powell, with whom and her hus-
band he was on two previous expedt-
tions, and for whom he has the warns
est regard or by his own relations. His
brother, editor of the Denver NelVS, be-
ing without any communication from
him, telegraphed to the operator at
Bridger, for Information, and received
this reply, which he published In the
NeUS OF the 9th inst:
No man came to Bridger from the
Powell expedition. The report origi-
mated from the drowning of Mr.. Hook
in Green River. There are some big
liars in this country, and they wanted
to tell something. so they got up the
story. The first we heard of 1t was
from Grangers. The report was that
all the party was drowned but one, and
that he came here. At least there Is not
a man at this post that has ever seen or
heard of any of PoWell's expedition
since they left Bridger last spring.

Frnnk Blair as IAN EuIOEist of the Re-
beIIIOn.
Frank Blair's insult to the army OFF,
GERS, for which he has published an
apologetic card, (referred to in yester-
days dispatches) WAS given at the ban
quet OF the officers of The Army and
Navy who served in the Department Of
the Gulf, at Long Branch, on 1.-The even
ing of the Slh. We find this account of
it in a letter describing the banquet:
While Admiral Farrngut was talking
to an ofhcer on his left, previous to an
nouncinS the next regular toast. An i'm
petuous but we'll meaning gentleman
on his right brought forward General
Blair. The Admiral was embarrassed,
for as the General began speaking, a
cold chill, like those that indicate the
approx ch OF the destructive "northers"
OF the Gulf, came over the entire as
semblage. Once on his feet, that super
ciliOuS smile and nOnchalant manner
so noticeable before the dinner were
gone. He was on his mettle, and in
tended TO hurl his tirebrands amid the
bnhqueters,. to open fresh the OLD
discord. He said: II Will speak of the
people who were once our enemies, and
| know that when l speak OF them be-
fore soldiers / speak before those who
will heartily respond. Those against
whom we Contended, whom we asPers-
ed as rebels, and whom we triumphed
over as we'll. They were great and
generous people, they were worthy OF
the steel of our best. We have heard
here tonight only of FarraRut and
Sheridan; but tell you in the future
we will yet hear of General Lee and
Stonewan Jackson" This was too
much. The floOd-gate of indignation
was open, and there was one simulta-
neous shout: "That's enough" with
cries of Andersonville, Libby Prison,
and Traitor: During all this exotic
ment and confusion, General Sheridan
never moved muscle of his face, ana,
although he was the nearest person to
the speaker, his face was as hard ana
TO Winchester Admiral Farragut
implored that the speaker might
be allowed to proceed without '1n-
terruption, but finally" was COM
pelled to call him to order, as one
of the most important articles OF the
newly adopted constitution ana by
laws of the Society strictly forbtds any
political discussion of any nature what
ever. This had the desired effect, and
gave General Sherman an opportunity
TO respond to the last toast, 1.-The Re
suits OF the War-Universal Liberty
and Perpetual Un1on;" which he dld In
most mastery and eloquent manner.
The closing scene of the banquet was
the subject of discussion at all the ho-
tells and among the sojourners at the
Branch this morning. And must say
in conclusion, that with the exception
ton of a few sycophants, who handy
tests while denouncing soldiers in the
nar-rooms and lobbies of hotels, there
ia but one opinion, and that is that
General Blair's speech, while the guest
of Union officers, was ill-timed and out
of place.

ACCORDING to the same correspondent
who started the story, the motive OF
the recent numerous mentions of Sec
retary Boutwell, as a proper person for
the Republican Presidential nominee
in 1872, turns out to be an effort to Sc
cure his removal from the Cabinet.
The scheme of the projectors of the
movement was to embrOil Secretary
Boutwell, and the President in a perso-
nal quarrel, supposing that the latter
Is a candidate for denomination, which,
however, is a mere supposition. They
hoped to gain, by the appointment of a
new man as Secretary of the Treasury,
opportunities for obtaining informa-
tion regarding the opinions of the de-
partment and assistance in their lobby
schemes. or course, their efforts have
proved futile, and the friendly relations
which haYe always existed between
Secretary Boutwell, and the President
remain uninterrupted.

Two Big Fish Caught.

WASHINGTON, July L.
The Internal Revenue Department
has received Information of the conVlc-
tion, at Williamsport, Pa, of Martin
Fillmore and u. Ullman on charges OF
violating the Revenue laws in relation
to distilling. They are two OF the most
wealthy men in that part OF the State,
and the largest distillers. Both were
sentenced to two years in the Peniten-
tiary, and are now in confinement. The
Supervisor of the Western District says
these convicts hoped to escape owing to
their riches and influences, and their
conviction will have a good effect on
smaller distillers who violate the law.

After Two Days and One Fight
In Cuba
NEW YORK, July II.
The brig A. Eldrid which left here on
the 23d of June, with arms, ammunition
and l25 men for Cuba, landed the arms
up a river in Cuba near Hernandez.
The cholera had just then broken out
in the camp of the patriots, and in
consequence l2O of the expedition party
refused to enlish in the Cuban ranks,
even after they had been offered a
bounty of $4,000 per head in gold, pre-.
ferring to wait till the close OF the
sickIy season. On the second day after
their arrival, however, the Spaniards
made a descent upon Hernandez and
posted themselves on the adj AGENT
heights, but the Americans under
Lieut. Clany drove them from their
position without the loss OF man.
After this victory they re-embarked
unmolested and returned safely to New
York Saturday, with the exception OF
two men named Walsh and Miller OF
Petersburg, Va, who died of cholera
on their way to New York.
