epN. otiantEs, CARu

1t will be seen from the card of Gen.
Quarles which we publish to day, that he
withdraws from the gubernatorial can
vass. This intelligence will be received
with deep regret by large proportion of
the people of Tennessee, who had hoped
TO have the pleasure of casting their votes
for this gifted gentleman. They must,
however, gracefully accept the result with
a feeling of satisfaction that he is infu-
enced by considerations of the highest re
gard for the unity and success Of that
great national party which, to use his
language, sis battling with such manly
and hopeful energy to strike off our
bonds.
AS an evidence of the esteem in which
Gen. Quarles is held where he is best
known, we publish the following resolu-
ton introduced by Judge Rice in the
Montgomery County Convention and IN
animously adopted: a.'. less
Resolved, That it is with emotions of
heartfelt pride that we have seen in the
press of the State the name of our justly
distinguished friend and county man Gen.
VIM. A. Quarles suggested as suitable
standard bearer of the Democratic party
in the approaching gubernatorial canvass,
and we, his neighbors among whom he has
spent the last twenty-five years of his life,
indorse him as man of eminent talent,
incorruptible integrity and purity of life,
as courteous inpriyate intercourse with the
people as he is bold and fearless in the fielC
One who has shed his blood for us anC

character may be considered, man whC

by unanimously declare him our first choic
for said Office, and instruct the delegation
this day appointed to attend the Guberna
torisl Convention, at Nashville, on tn
, 18th proximo, to cast the vote of thi
county for VIM. A. Quarles, of Mont

TIE Wheeling Register states that in
the whole of West Virginia there are at
least six thousand newly-registered voters,
five-sixths of whom, after deducting the
negroes, will vote the Democratic ticket.
There are three or four thousand more
whom the boards of registration will be
required to put upon their list at their
meeting on the first Monday in October.
The vote cast this year win be nearly ten
thousand greater than that of two years
ago. OF this increase it is conceded that
the Democratic ticket will receive much
the larger portion.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

We find from the proceedings of the
Montgomery County Convention, as pub
lished in the Tobacco Leaf that Gen.
Honberger, Col. T. E. Bailey, and Hon.
D. N. Kennedy, (all old Whigs) made
speeches, and they were agreed in senti-
ment that there are but two organized
parties in the United States, and that the
only policy for the people of Tennessee is
to organize thoroughly and give united
support to the Democratic party. They
regarded all attempts to organize third
party as suicidal and only calculated to
give strength to our enemies. There was
DO use in quibbling about names, 'Dem-
ocrat" would do. 1t was gaining strength,
and the only hope of overthrowing Radi-
calism was in this PARTY. They favored
as q means of preserving har-
mony and unity in the Democratic ranks.

Wyatt Outlaw. This Rogers denied, and
details his subsequent treatment as fol-
lows:
"The said Burger, after pronouncing
the denial a damned lie, said he would
give this affiant till that night to tell about
It. That night about 10 or II O'Clock,
the said Burger took this affiaut to his
tent, and asked if he was ready to tell
about the murder of Outlaw. Affiant
replied that ne had told him all he knew.
Said Burgen then said, Stop right there;
you are telling damned lie. know
that you do know, and will make
you, tell it He then took this
affiant, accompanied by said Hunny-
cut and several men, to the woods. and
again asked the affiant if he would then
tell about the murder. Affiant replying
as before, the said Burger said that Patton
did not know anything till he hung IN.
and then he could tell all about it. He
then asked affiant if he had anything to
| say. This aff1ant replied that he had said
all ne wished to say. Having put rope
about the neck of this affiant shortly after
leaving the tent, the said Burger then Or
dered the Lieutenant, who threw the rome
over the branch of tree, to swing this
affiant up. The Lieutenant drew untlIthe
rope was stretched tight around this aft
ants neck. Said Bdrgen then told the
Lieutenant '"That will do" and asked aft
ant if he would Their confess, and the
same reply was given as BEFORE - B
Rogers was then taken back to camp
and held prisoner by Kirk until re-
leased by Judge Brooke
Such were the means resorted to by
Gov. Holden, in hopes to retain political
power in North Carolina. Kirk, who
commanded the State troops, Is a noto-
rious outlaw. He was a bushwhaclzer
in the late war, a ruflian who plundered
friend and foe alike, and the men he used
in North Carolina were drunken negroes
and abandoned whites, ready to hang,
stab or shoot for a dollar or drink of
bad whisky. With such instruments Gov.
Holden operated, and his work is de-
scribed by those who were the sufferers.
Gen. Grant is also implicated in this ruff
fianism, for he sent Federal troops to sus-
tain the Governor, even after the hanging
had been done, by Kinks command in
Aamance county. With such facts as
those stated, people can measure correct
| " Gov. Holden's idea of republican
form OF government. They did so mea-
sure it in North Carolina, and the verdict
| at the polls was a terrible rebuke both TO
Gov. Holden and Gen. Grant. e-.s @

The political situation is not at all salts

They even see things as they are not to be

Press, hoping that the third party move

Radicals, said, Aug. %: -4'r ra
Gin Tennessee it is probable that the
Republicans this year may profit from the
dissensions of the Democrats, and thus
retrieve to some extent the disasters of
last year. The officers to be chosen are a
Governor, members of the Legislature,
and representatives to the Forty second
Congress-. gr .s5

respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial

''The advices from Tennessee are that
the quarrel between the secession old line

is being fercely waged, the former pre-
senting Gen. John G. Brown, and the lat

the event of Gen. Browns nomination,
the secession Democrats propose to run
Andy johnson independently. Should
this contingency happen, the Hon. John
Trimble, who will be the Republican
standard bearer, will doubtless be elected
the Hon. Horace Maynard is considered
certainty, but since the late difficulty of
r. r. Butler, the first district is in trou-
bic. The Republicans are in a majority
there, but may lose it by bad management.
The Hon. n. G. Taylor, late Commission
er of Indian Affairs, and an eX-member, is
spoken of as candidate for Congress. He
is bitterly opposed by Andrew johnson. In
all the other districts no Republican can
be elected, unless in the third. In the
fifth and eighth districts the Democrats
present several candidates Bale Pey-
ten, in the fifth, and Edmund Cooper,
in the fourth district, have considerable
strength, but the fact of their having
been originally Union men initiates
largely against them in the ranks of the
Democrats. .- r

THE Philadelphia Age has detected the
Hon. James Blain, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, in very mean, dis
reputable piece of work. Blain has pub
lished a speech in relation to Federal ex-
penses, which contains the most ont
rageous miscellaneous. The following is
a specimen. He says: ''The army at
present consists of forty regiments, and
e yet its whole maintenance for the wear
costs but $21, 900, 900, a trife over s7OO.
900 paper money to each regiment This
same honesty and economy is shown in
all other branches of the Government, all
the more praiseworthy and honorable in
view of the large amounts expended. >
The Secretary of the Treasury has Just
issued statement of the expenditures of
the Government for the last year, in which
