IRISH NEGRoEs.-We once heard a

have proved that the bed is half mile

CALL FOR A STATE CON
VENTTON.


To the Democratic and Conservative
voters of the state of Tennessee.
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for Members
of Congress, Governor of the State, and
Members of the Legislature viii be held.
1t is deemed of the highest importance, in
order to secure the complete overthrowof
the political party which has for several
years ruled and almost ruined us, that
there should be unity of action among the
Democratic and Conservative party of the
State in those elections. f..
The Executive Committee appointed by
the State Convention held in this city on
the 9th day of June, 1868, have, therefore
for the purpose of preserving harmony
In our ranks and promoting unity of &C.
ton in those elections resolved to cali q
convention of the Democratic and Conserv-
alive party of the State to assemble at the
Capitol in this city on Tuesday the 18th OF
September next at II A. N. for, the prr-
pose of nominating candidate for Gov.
ernor, and taking such other steps as may
be necessary to secure the thorough or
ganization of the party. The several
counties in the State are, therefore
requested on or before the 1st Monday in
September to appoint delegates to that
convention. GEO. j. STUBBLKFHLD,

Senator CLEMEN.CSnN

The Athens Post announces that Sena-
tor Clementson will be a candidate for re-
election. Without disparagement to
others, we think we may confidently as
sert that no member of the Legislature has
gained more reputation during the term of
the present Legislature, for punctuality,
attention to business, practical sense and
legislative ability than the Senator from
McMinn. He entered the Senate
comparatively unknown in East Ten
nessee, and totally unheard of
IN Middle and West Tennessee; but when
the Legislature adjourned there was no
man IN it who was listened TO more at
tentively; there was no man in If who
welded greater influence than he-tbis
too, without any of the appliances of the
mere politician or parliamentary ma
nUuverer. While there was no member
more modest or unpretentious in his de-
pertinent there was none more decided
and earnest in his convictions.
If he should have opposition in the
Democratic ranks, it might be improper
for us to take part in the contest. and
this much is due to faithful and vain.

GEN. SCHENCK, of Ohio, declined re-
nomination for Congress on the ground
that he was too poor. He was nominated
by Radical convention in his district,
but he would give no assurance that he
would accept. The other day it was
stated that a $4,000 subscription had
been made up among leading Radicals in
New York, with the prospect of its being
largely increased, to induce him to accept
the nomination. A Dayton dispatch of
the 3lst ult. says he has written TO his
friends that he has concluded to accept.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Revocation, not PrOstrdtiOn, is
the true Medical Philosophy. The intro
duction of PLANTATION BITTERs,
prepared with pure st. Oroix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life sustain
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and responding by an immediate and most
encouraging change IF the appetite has
failed, it is quickensd; y if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, It is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to flight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face of the ex-
traordinary cures of general debility, dys-
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and men,
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
icines, have utterly lost their prestige. The
sick will not take them, and Plantation
Bitters, in which are combined the ele
ments of stomachic, and invigorant,

specific, reign in their stead r

COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

The several county conventions to be
held in the State on Monday next should
remember to appoint county executive
committee for the purpose of organiza-
ton. 1t will not do to rely upon large
majority for success. Majorities some
times become so unwieldy as to occasion
defeat, unless they are thoroughly organ
lied. Hence, the necessity for executive

woaDERFUL STORY Ex-

Gh4ODGOs
A correspondent of the Abingdon Vjr-
giniah, writing from saltville, processes
to have seen man by the name of Ed
ward Parker, who claimed to have been
Lieutenant in a North Caroline cavalry
regiment; that he was captured at the
battle of ehickamauga; was sent to Camp
Chase, and from there to the Dry Tortu-
gas, where he remained until the LIST of
June last. This correspondent says
''His tale is a strange one, but I am
forced to believe every word of it-and
so would you If you could see the man
and it may be of some interest to some of
your readers. p BE says there sre still
three thousand men on the island, who
have no means to pay their passage, and
no way to make enough money to do so.
- PARKER says that the prisoners were all
released at the close of the war, but they
had no means of communication with
their friends, and they are still there in a
most wretched condition, their only means
of support being derived from labor at
the leyees at fifty cents per month, and by
begging. ',' @
''He worked over five years at fifty
cents per month and saved $500, with
which he paid his fare to New Orleans,
from which he has walked since the 7th
of June, and begged his way. He is in
most pitiable condition, being entirely
blind in one eye, and very nearly 30 in the
other, caused by exposure, and very lame
and crippled up from long walks.
HE is on his way to his home in Hop
kins county, North Carolina, -- having
walked up the Mississippi to the mouth of
the Ohio, up the Ohio and through Ken
lucky, several hundred miles out of his
way, owing, he says, TO his ignorance of
the country and the ignorance of those
who gave him directions. He says the
the poor fellows on the island are praying
for relief from their friends, but he does
not know that relief can be afforded, as
he seems to be, entirely ignorant of the
means of communication with the island,
and only knows that vessels go there for
coffee. u u So H'a.'aa 9-a '.

should have believed this wonderful story,
yet it has been republished all over the

an officer on leave of absence, just from

fatty contradicts the story, and states that
unless they lived in the fort, one-si xth

to stand upon in that island. The whole

it is, does not comprise twenty acres, and
