Personal.

We see from the papers in his district
that Major Frank Duffy, editor of that
spicy and attractive journal, the Carthage
V5dette, is candidate for the State SEN
ate. 1t is an encouraging indication of the
future, when such sterling and cultivated
men become candidates for legislative
honors. The miserable, cowardly policy
inaugurated aud forced upon our people
since the war by the few, backed by ma
tional bayonets, who sought to stife public
opinion and keep without the pale of office
the most worthy, has hitherto been a bar
rer to elevating to offices of honor and
profit such as would reflect credit upon the
place and the people. No man in the
State has attacked with more success and
vigor this mad and selfish policy of Radical
misrule than Major Duffy. A man who
was a good and true soldier for four years
in the recent war, and who yields pen so
facile and with such pith and point, is fit
to represent the best constituency in the
State.
II. L. Davidson of Shelbyville, is an
nounced as a candidate for Congress in the

Trade of New York.

In reference to trade in New York and
its prospects, the New York correspondent
of the Rochester Democrat says:
Many predictions are now made of a
good fall trade, which, should it come, will
be of great value. We have not had first
rate fall trade since 1865. However, this
is not without precedent. The variation
in trade from year to year is often very
great, and it may be looked on as a gen.
eral principle that no two years trade will
be alike. This is one reason why our msrN
chants SO persistently live on hope. They
reason that bad year is likely to be fol-
lowed by good year, and hence cling to
their business after even bankruptcy has
set in. I can affirm this from personal eI-
perience In one year of unfortunate trade
"a long time ago. it cleaned out my capital
and left me behind hand very considerably.
The next season things took a differ
ent turn; the loss was made up, and the
unfortunate year was never repeated. One
thing is certain, if our business men do not
have a good year this fall there will be
great deal of bankruptcy. Many able mer
chants have been living on the profits of
previous years, and have sunk money con-
tinually, and now can go no further.
Hence a change is evidently necessary.
The vicissitudes of trade are not as great as
those of the stock market, but they are
next to it, as any one can see by looking
over our commercial history for the past
thirty years.

New Adyertlsements.

We ask particular attention to the adver-
tisement of the sale of the late VIM. r.
Elliston's estate. The sale will take place
at public auction on Tuesday and Wednes-
cav, Sept. % and %, and consists of valu-
able lots situated in the most desirable
parts of the city. The property offered is
the very first quality of real estate, and is
all the time increasing in value. Such
chances for profitable investment are rarely
presented. At the same time there will be
sold a lot of first class stocks and bonds
which are eagerly sought in the market
Messrs. Browns q Cheatham are the agents.
See the administrators notice of @. s.
VOORHEES, in another column. He wishes
to settle up the estate of Jacob VOORHEES,,
deceased.
Attention is directed to the strayed or
stolen notice of NJ. Nestor.
The School Commissioners Will see by
Mr.. Oartwrights notice that the school
books for the free schools are now on hand
and ready for delivery.
Jos. Ambrose is announced as a candi-
date for Alderman from the Second ward.
Special attention is asked to the adver-
tisement of McCampbell & Mitchell, COM
mission merchants and dealers in Agricul-
tural implements, corner of College and
Church streets. They keep every variety
of cedar ware, cedar chests, ETC., all kinds
of hollowware and castings, hemp rope and
bagging, and the best of agricultural i'm
elements, etc. Their stock is complere in
every feature.
All of the latest style of hats, of the most
superb and fashionable quality, have been
received by those energetic and tasteful
gentlemen, Messrs. Gray & Noble, Cherry
street. We have never seen a greater
variety or more elegant stock brought to
Nashville. Their articles are of the best
quality, and they sell at the very lowest
cash prices.
See the attachment notice of Justice Al
bert.
Don't fail to read the sheriff sale by G Ii
Donaldson. The property is valuable and
bargains can be had.
We take pleasure in referring to the
statement of the condition of the Imperial
Fire Insurance Company of London, Eng
land, as made to the Comptroller of the
State. 1t will be seen that the assets of
the company are 1851, 3O6.4O, while its
liabilities are but $27, 633 16. This is one
of the Oldest and safest and most reliable
companies that exists, and is managed by
the very best financial ability. The United
States branch offices are Nos 40 and AZ
Pine street, New York. Mr.. E. W. Crow
ell is resident manager of the company.

Trade of New Orleans.

The New Orleans journals publish a re-
view of the trade of that city for the year
ending with August, from which we find
that the total crop of Louisiana sugar was
$1,000 hhds., against "a, 256 hhds the year
preceding. The production of rice was
100, 748 bbls of 200 lbs each. The culture
OF this article has rapidly increased, and IS
proving highly profitable. Of the trade in
Western produce the Republican remarks;
The receipts and shipments of leading
articles of Western produce show that New
Orleans has been little more than local
distributing market There has been a
marked increase in the receipts of corn and
flour, and pretty fair export business has
been done in the latter. Pork has done
but little better than hold its own, while
tobacco rather shows a diminution. The
fearful charges for insurance, wharf dues,
commissions, towsge, pllotage, ware
housing, drayage, ETC., have pretty COM
pletely trammeled our transit trade and
forced shipments across the continent by
rail or the Erie Canal. The enterprising
projectors of a grain elevator have reaped
inadequate results, not at all equal to what
they had reason to expect.
But We are glad to perceive signs of an

that 1t required to bring business and in

must adopt the modern improvements Of
