McMAHON'S ARMY.

The destruction of life in the battles of
the past three weeks has been terrible. It
has been great on both sides. From recent
letters to the New York Heratd, giving
facts concerning the strength of McMa-
hons army, which has been practically
annihilated, we can form some idea of the
mortality at Weissenburg and Woerth
In speaking of its march out from Stras-
burg, the correspondent said
"This force marched out yesterday. august
3D. What sight it was Eight batteries of
ten guns each, all twelve Founders; and four
batteries of matrailleuses, ten of those fearful
weapons in each battery The Marshal, then
marched out of Strasburg with fifty thousand
men, eighty pieces of artillery and forty mi
traileuses, battalion of those terrible Algerian
Turcos and heavy supporting squadron of
cavalry, front, fanks and rear.
But, says the Heraid:
where is that imposing column now. the
flower Of the French my, with all it, fcarfully
destructive equipments? Attacked enyelopcd,
repulsed and routed from point TO point, by the
more terrible column under the Crown Prince
of Prussia il has melted away and disappeared
from the field of conflict. Less than fifteen
thousand Of McMahOn's corps are reported a.
having made good their retreat 10 Chalons. two
thirds of the backward march from Strasburg
10 Paris The dead horsemcn and their horses
of this late splendid corps, its terrible Turcos,
cannon, Chassepots and mitrailleuses, were
left behind on half Il dozen bloody battlehelds,
and thousands Of wounded and unwounded of
lis officers and men have been marched inyol-
UNFAIRLY on 10 Berlin.

Mines, now one of the most prosperous
and profitable enterprises in the country.
He was the largest landed proprietor in
East Tennessee, and one of the largest in
the State. But few days before his death
he purchased of Mr.. McGhee his celebrated
Tellico farm, one of the most fertile, valu-
able and extensive farms in the State.
In the death of Col. Galloway, East Ten
nessee has lost one of its worthiest and
most useful citizens, and we but express
the general feeling which pervades this
community when we say that his death
has caused sincere regret and that his
place will be hard to fill.
His remains were inferred yesterday af-
ternoon, at Cleveland, with Masonic hon
ors.

THE CHEAPEST AND BEST PAPER.

BY an agreement between the publishers
of the Wing, Press and Messenger and
CHRONICLE, the rates of subscription to
the Weekly are uniform I. C., Two Dol
lars each to single subscribers clubs of ten,
$3.50; clubs of twenty, $4,000. Each pa
per now stands upon its merits. The
WEEKLY CHRONICLE, at the same price of
the Wing or Press and Messenger, is the
cheapest paper in East Tennessee. 1t con-
tains almost tl0ice as much reading matter
as the Press and Messenger, and more than
the Wing. 1t contains the latest telegraph
ic news and the Market Reports, and is,
the most desirable and cheapest Weekly in
East Tennessee.

THE KNOXVILLE WING AND REGISTER

The Knoxville Wing made its appear
ance yesterday under the management of
its new editors and proprietors, Messrs.
Saunders, Clark d Co., under the title of
the Wing and Register. The new firm are
gentlemen of experience as newspaper
men, and one of them, Mr.. Saunders, is
an old acquaintance to many East Tennes-
see readers, having been connected years
ago with the Knoxville Register. In poll
tics they announce themselves Conserva-
tive Democrats, and promise to discuss
only living issues. They aim to make the
Wing and Register live newspaper, and
bring to their task ready pens and practi-
cal experience in their profession. While
we do not agree with them politically, we,
nevertheless, give them hearty welcome
to their new field, and wish them success
i'm their new enterprise.

A NAME FOUND.

The Union and american, of Nashville,
is an organ of the Democratic party. 1t
candidly admits it, never has shown any
sensitiveness about the name, and does not
propose to allow its weak-kneed contempo-
raries that train in the party to disown its
historic name or its familiar record. 1t is
getting decidedly the better of its contem-
poraries in the argument, as witness the
following:
The Jackson Wing, few days ago. in
noticing certain gentlemen at Memphis"
said
81 challenge these gentlemen to point TO the
time when a Democratic State Convention has
been called in Tennessee since the war You
can't do it, and you know it.
To this challenge the Union and ADeri-
can answers "If the files of the Jackson
Wing for May, 1868 were examined, we
presume the following call will be found :"
" DEMOCRATIC STATE CONvENT1oN--A CALL IS
SUED FOR THE NINTH OF JUNE.
by direction of the Democratic Central
Committee, a State Convention is called to as
semble at the city of Nashville on the 9th day
of June, 1868, for the purpose Of appointing
delegates to attend the National Democratic
Convention, which will meet in the city of
New York on the 4th day of July next The
people of the different counties throughout the
State are requested to hold County Conventions
and appoint delegates to represent them in said
State Convention"
The call was duly signed by Thomas r.
Jennings, Chairman, &c.
In the files of the same paper for June,
1868, the Union and american finds the
platform adopted by the Convention which
met pursuant to the above call. The plat
form, by the way, was reported and en-
dorsed by General John G.. Brown, the pre-
sent very Conservative candidate of this
conglomerated party. That platform be-
gins as follows:
WHEREAS, The people of Tennessee, ire
spective of former party affiliations or differ
ences of opinion arising out of the recent civil
war, in n Convention assembled for the purpose
of appointing delegates to represent them in the
National Democratic Convention to meet in the
city of New York on the 4th of July next, ETC.
Further along in this preamble the Con-
vention declare
They deem it proper to adopt the name and
designation borne by the only political organi-
cation with which they can associate, and in
thus formally uniting themselves with the De-
mocratlc party, as it now exists they herewith
declare the principles they maintain" etc
1t would seem from the above that Ten
nessee Democracy is fully committed to the
name and record of the Democratic party
of the country.
There is something, then, in name, ac-
cording to the sensitiveness Of these party
| organs, but so far the Union and Anericon
has Il decided advantage. What is left now
of this Dlpa that the name of fine Marty in
| Tennessee is the Conservative Party ?n

ORGANIZATION.

Again we urge upon our friends the inn
portance of an early and thorough organi-
zation. Soon the fall campaign will be
upon us. With proper organization, we
can carry this Congressional District
against any man the Democracy may put
in the field, by from twenty-five hundred
to three thousand votes. To do this, we
must organize and vote our full strength.
We may expect money to be used against
us, and for corrupt purposes. Werely upon
the honest masses, who cannot be bribed.
They only desire to understand the facts
to do their whole duty. The people only
wish to read and learn the facts for them
selves. Organization will secure a general
understanding of the issues, and insure
success. Then, organize at once.

THE FAIR GROUNDS.

We took occasion yesterday evening to
drive out to the Fair Grounds, and were
delighted with the evidences of enterprise
and energy we saw there. In the first
place, a large new building is going up
rapidly much better fitted for its intended
use than any building which stood upon
the grounds previous to the war. The
grounds are being enclosed with good
plank fence, with the best quality of cedar
posts. Prof. kirkpatrick is engaged in
surveying the race-tracks, which are to be
widened and graded in the most approved
manner. a large force of mechanics and
laborers are employed in pushing forward
the work, in order to have all things ready
for October 4th and three days following,
at which time we expect to see visitors in
terested in agricultural and kindred mat
ters from every county in East Tennessee.
The Board of Directors, and especially
the energetic and efficient Secretary, Rev.
c. w. Charlton, deserve the thanks of the
public for the efficient manner in which
their important duties have been discharg-
ed. We rejoice at this evidence of the re-
turn of that good feeling and worthy emu
lation which marked the state of society
in East Tennessee in ante bcltltnl days.

CONVENTION SUGGESTED.

A friend writing to us from Sewer coun-

Roads, to be held some time next month,
for the purpose of nominating a Republi-
can candidate to represent the Pictorial
District composed of the counties of Knox
and Sewer, in the next Legislature. He
suggests that we should have good man,
a true man, and one who will canvass the

COL. THOs. H. CALLAWAY.

We learn with sincere regret of the death
OF Col. Thomas H. Galloway, which took
place early yesterday morning at his resi-
dence in the city of Cleveland. Though
not strictly citizen of Knoxville, he was
so intimately identified with our most inn
portant business interests that we have al
ways considered him one of us.
Mr.. Galloway was born in Knox county
on the 18th day of January, 1872. Early
in life he moved with his father, J oseph
Galloway, to Monroe county, Tenn, and
was among the first settlers of the Hiwassee
district. Joseph Galloway died in Monroe
county, while his son Thomas was still
young. The deceased was one of the sur
veyors of the Ocoee district, and was among
the earliest of the settlers of the present
very attractive town of Cleveland, where
he lived at his death.
Mr.. Galloway was one of our self-made
men, and enjoyed, very justly, too, the rep
utation of being one of the very best bust
ness men of East Tennessee. He was one
of the first TO take an interest in the build
ing of the East Tennessee and Georgia
Railroad, and the company fifty recognized
his superior business qualifications by
choosing him in the early organization of
the road as its President, to which office he
was first elected on the 9TH of February,
1852. This Office he resigned on the 2Sth of
September, 1858. He was reelected Presi-
dent on the 18th of July, 1865. After the
decease of John r. Branner, Mr.. Galloway
was elected President of the East Tennes-
see and Virginia Railroad Company, to-wit
on the 9Th of November 1868. On the
10Th of November, 1869, he was elected the
first President of the consolidated East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad an
office he held up to the time of his death.
In these several positions BIr. Galloway
exercised to good purpose that clear head
and sound judgment for when he has ever
been characterized. AS an administrative
officer, he had no superior in this section
of the State and but few equals anywhere.
He took charge of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad after it was restored to
the Company by the Government. EN-
barrassed and crippled in thousand ways.
he nevertheless carried it triumphantly
thhouSh an iiS lIlaiSi anu az tilc llile OF MS
death it was in good repair and enjoying
profitable revenues.
In all his business dealings Mr.. Galloway
was high-minded and prompt. He was
affable to all with whom he came in con-
tact, and enjoyed the confidence and re-
spect of all who knew him. In his person.
al relations, he was very pleasant, and in
his family kind husband and affectionate
father.
He leaves a wife and nine children, some
of whom are quite young. He has one son
in business in New York, member Of the
banking house of r. II. Wilson & Co.
Mr.. Galloway was member of the Ma
sonic fraternity. He was a warm friend
and firm supporter of the Government du-
ring the war. He was one of the original

FRANK HARDEMAN, Trustee has filed a
bill in the Chancery Court, at Nashville,
asking to be placed in charge of the Nash
vile and Decatur Railroad, in order to sat
isfy cred tors who hold the bonds of the
Company to the amount of $500, 900, which
matured last April, but which yet remains
unpaid. The bonds were issued under an
act of Assembly, 23d of March, 1860. 1t is
claimed by the Company that the act is
void, as being partial: that there was no
consideration for the mortgage given to Sc
cure the payment of the bonds, and that
the road is already in the hands of the
Company, under bond appointed by the

Vaughn is as ready with his pen as he has

hardly think his pen will spread as much
terror among defenceless citizens in 1870
as his sword did in 1861. Is he one of the
leaders of the Conservative party in East
Tennessee? How will our Union Con-
servative friends like to train under his.

Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1870-08-31

THE ORGAN seeks TO arouse the preju-
dces of the foreign born of our citizens
against Mr.. Maynard by charging that he
belonged to the American party in 1868.
Does it pretend to charge that he was a
memeher of the Know Nothing Council of
this city? Now, as to the facts: The
present leaders of the Democrats in Knox
Vile were all active, sworn members of the
Know Nothing party. Senator Luttrell
whose popularity carried Fleming through
his race for the Legislature last summer
was Mt one time President of the council
Fleming himself who has always loaned
himself to any man, or men who would
fill his bill, was a member of that cele-
brated anti-ioreign midnight conclave.
Col. John Williams was also an active
member of that organization.
We should think with such antecedents
he would be very slow to raise the Know
Nothing question now when his party is
again arrayed against the Germans and
the caifse of iathcrland But xhom the
