certainly unlike natural sleep il Its
general inhuenoe upon the system.
1t Is doubtful II the TecuperatIve ac-
ton upon the brain in large degree
corresponds with it. The curtain Of
the mind seems to be fully drawn:
there il no dreamy condition, nothing
akin to somnolentia, In the sleep pro-
duced by chloral. The insensibillty,
although apparently entire, Is less
profound than in heaAthful, natural
sleep. A slight noise awakens the
patient. and the wakefulness Is per-
feet. although it may not last only
for a moment. At one time,
having taken thirty grains cf
the agent, and fallen asleep, a
loose blind moved by the wind,
thumped against the house. The
awakening was instantaneous and
complete; no lingering drowsiness was
felt. and yet in perhaps nalf minute
insensibility was resumed. The sleep
has no interval, or season of insup-
portable droWsiness there is no sway
ing to and fro, between the conscious
and unconscious condition; sleep
comes like tho sudden darkness when
a bright light is extinguished in a
room in the night time. If sleep is
simply the suspension Of the operation
Of the senses, if it is nothing but I'M
consciousness, then we have no diff
Guilty in defining the exact influence
of chloral; but We incline to the
opinion that in natural sleep there is
a peculiar physical or mental condition
existing Independent of the in
sensibility. The morning after Q
night Of sleep induced by chlorai
| there is no headache. no nausea
no unpleasant feelings whatever, but
an indefnable sense Of lightness, an
exhilaration which is not like that
produced By stimulants. The i'm
preston is that there has been 1
pleasant state Of inconsistencies
without or with imperfect sleep. The
body and the mind are refreshed, bu
not, in kind or degree, like tina
which results from natural, healthfu
slumber. 1t may be that chloral doe
not positively produce sleep, but
prolonged, peculiar an9sthesia, which
serves many Of the purposes of sleep
Manifestly, we know at present bu
little regarding the precise nature 0
the effects produced upon the func
tons of the mind and body by thi
drug. We know enough, however, t
feel convinced that it is a most In
portant addition to materia medic;
and that il is better calculated to re
lieve a large class Of suffering patient
than any agent hitherto suggested

B SPEAKING.

General John G. Brown and Hon. W.
III. Wisner. candidates for Governor, were
with US and addressed a very respectable
crowd of our citizens in the Court House.
on Tuesday last. We regret that u
space does not permit us to give even a
synopsis of their speeches. Both gentle
men conducted themselves with dignity
and decency, which is saying a great deal
in their favor. They exhibit a fair share
of ability, and not a little Ingenuity in
handling questions of a delicate nature to
both of them. The speeches were quite
lengthy and were listened to with profound
attention by the audience. The candid
ates made a very favorable impression and
we regret that we cannot vote for both of
them. Asst is we shall do like every other
Republican, vote for Mr.. Wisener on cleo
ton day just as we would have done had
we never seen or heard him. w be-
lieve him to be an honest. upright gen.
tleman, we'll worthy o the positionto which
he aspires, but which, we regret to say he
stands, under existing circumstances, a
very poor chance of ever getting. We
shall vote for him because he represents
principles which are certain to triumph in
the end.

COL. THOMAS III. REEVES.

We call special attention to the an
nouncement of this gentleman as an indie
pendent candidate for the Legislature from
this county. Col. Reeves is well known
to the people of this county. He was a
Federal soldier and commanded the 4th
Tennessee Infantry one of the best discip-
lined regiments in the service, which was
all owing to his tact and skill as an officer.
Last winter he was elected assistant Clerk
of the House of Representatives, which
office he resigned, as VIC learn, on account
of his supreme disgust at the proceedings
of the Legislature. He was opposed to the
calling of a Convention, and also opposed
the adoption of the New Constitution
He is in favor of free schools, and partakes
of the progressive spirit of the age in other
matters looking to general improvement /:
the encouragement of immigration and
the building up of our State. While we
shall labor for the election of a straight
out Republican to the Legislature, we be-
lieve Col. Reeves would make an able,
Woodworking and honest member of that
body, and there are few aspirants for office
who are better qualified or better informed
in regard to the wants of this section, or
who will labor harder to have them sup
plied

STATE SENATE.

Our worthy townsman, DR.. VIM. II.
SEWER, is the nominee of the Democratic
party of this Senatorial District for Sena-
tor, in the next Legislature. In selecting
DIR. Sewer, for their standard bearer, that
party has shown more than its usual sa-
gacity. He is a gentleman of learning
and ability. and of unquestionable moral
character. Personally. he is one of the
most popular men in this section, and un-
less the Republicans put out a candidate
equally as well qualified, they will have
hard work to elect him. We are glad DR.:
Sewer has got the nomination, as we will
be under the necessity of putting forth a
good man to defeat him, and will be GER
tain to be we'll represented, nc matter
which wins. -
