NASHVILLE, August 2O.-John A.
EbeFlp, Of Bridgeport, Ohio, agent for q
colony Of one hundred German families,
has Travelled for the past four weeks over
Tennessee, and gives a favorable account
of tho manner in which he was received
by the people. He Ia pleased with our
climate, soil, present crops, etc. He
has made arrangements for fifteen thou
sand acres Of land. ten miles from Nash
vile, on the GAINESVILLE pike.
The Executive Committee Of the Ger

has officially informed the Consul Gene
raj at New York that he may draw on
the Committee for $500, for the use Of
widows and orphans of the fallen Ger
man soldiers and the wounded OF the
present FrancO-German war.
A magnificent Aurora BOreAlis made

COL. coLYAR TO THE WINGS.

We recently noticed the fact that Col.
Colyar had addressed meeting at Chat
tanooga, but that the report of his speech
which reached us was so meager, we
could not conjecture his course. Nor
do we know now if he be willing TO place
his name in the hands Of his friends to
be brought before the convention to as
semble at Nashville on the 18th proximo.
We have rather been impressed with the
idea that Col. Colyar was not averse to
the formation of third party, and would
not go before the Democratic Conven-
ton. A speech recently delivered at
Winchester, and furnished the Union and
American by correspondent, under
date of August H. would go far TO alter
the opinion We had formed. Col Colyar
does not, in the slightest degree, hold
out inducements to the Radicals, in his
plain talk with his old Wing friends of
Franklin county:
Where do we now stand and where
must we stand? Things have changed,
and the issues are entirely new. want
to lay down two or three propositions,
and see if they do not lead to certain
results.
l. The Old Wings and Democrats of
this State are acting together, and are
united upon the questions which they
are making. These questions have no
more similarity to the old party ques-
tons than the laws of the Apostles do to
the laws of pirates.
The questions then grow out Of diff
ferences of opinion about banks, the
tariff, and public lands,
Now the only question made BY us Of
a political nature is resistance to en-
croaehments upon the Constitution, and
the defense Of our property from I'M
considerable anu sTihdhng bond
holders. quote these two hard words
from Butler and Stevens.
If we are acting together and think
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1870-08-20

alike upon these questions, need we have
trouble among ourselvesf
The truth is that our old party IN the
Northern States, where i was strongest,
long since divided One wing Joined
the Republican party and the other
wing Joined the Democratic party; and
now. throughout the entire North, there
are only two parties. The Democratic
Marty Of the North, made up in part at
least of old Wings, like Fillmore, Brooks
and many Others, is making noble light
for constitutional liberty. This party is
strong; it carried over l zoe, 900 votes for
Mcclellan before the war closed; 1t has
fought over much ground since the war.
State after State has been rescued, and
still they wage the fight heroically.
What is there in the conduct, course
or policy of Mr. Voorhees,, Mr.. Eldridge,
Mr.. Hendricks, Mr.. Thurman, that any
Wing in Tennessee can't approve with
his whole heart; and what is there in
their party creeds that you object to2
If their party creeds are all right for
these times, if they are liberal toward
old Wings who stand with them, if their
fight is against Radicalism, and there is
no other party fighting it, what objection
to joining in the fight under the same
banner2 100
think it is best, and | propose that
the candidates for Governor put an end
to all controversy by simply calling our
selves Democrats.
The above is particularly commended
to the Avalanche.

COURSE OF CANDIDATES.

The friends of the respective candi-
dates for the Democratic nominations
are eagerly engaged in marshaling their
forces for the friendly contest. We some
time since wrote an article showing that
a mere reliance upon ones antecedents
and established reputation are not con-
elusive arguments before a convention,
but that personal effort may accomplish
much in preparing the public mind for
the success of candidate. We would
not tolerate anything unmanly or dis
honorable. Far from it. With us poll
tics must be fair-politicians must be
fair, for to be otherwise is to merit con-
tempt and not the confidence of proud
people. But industry will do great
deal and go considerable distance in
determining these friendly jousts for the
candidacy, aud our friends cannot com
plain that we have not advised them in
time to be on the alert. -

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

1t is all important for us as party de-
serving success, that the most exact har-
mony and accord should exist among
those who are accounted its leaders and
advisers. We ought to guard against
division into cliques or factions, the OBJ
iect of which is for the promotion of in
dividual claims. Every true man who
stands upon the Democratic platform,
and is an earnest advocate of its primer
Piles, is equally entitled to the honors to
be conferred by the party when
his competency fits him for position.
There is little need of pickering ana
quarreling among ourselves over the
spoils, when there is enough for all to
partake Of, who desire to do so. Greedi-
ness is not generally part of Democratic
character; and when we have been mas
tered by such disposition, our fate must
be that of the Radical party, which has
so lately received defeat from that very
cause. If we be true men, and honest
to the noble purposes of our organization,
we must govern our actions by higher
motive than the desire TO hold office
and get gain. The good government of
the State is the first object to be obtained,
and that can only be brought about by
expelling from place and power every
Radical now in office, and to so effect
ually put our foot upon the party that it
may never again pretend to raise its
head. The political canvass that now is
about to open up is one of great and
paramount importance to the people of
Tennessee. The Radicalsa are preparing
to once more put their squadrons in the
field, and we must be ready to meet them
or again go under the proscriptiye heel
of that party. Shelby county is espe
cially uncertain in its majority for the
Democracy a few hundred
only, and then again as many thousand.
This is greatly owing TO the interest and
feeling that our people take in the cleo
ton 1t is by no means set down that
we are to carry the county by as big a
majority this time as we did the
last, yet it could be done by proper
management and interest manifested by |
our voters. A large number Of negroes
were induced by their white friends at
the last election TO vote the Democratic
ticket; hence the falling off in the Radi-
cal vote as is seen from the official re-
turns. We have clear majority with
out the negro vote of FIVE hundred in the
county, and that can be increased when
ever the good and sensible men of the
county will consent to take matters in
hand and carry the election as it should
be. We should fire up and be ready for
the race that must come off in this State
next November.

ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE.

On Thursday another great battle was
fought in the vicinity of Metz; and the
Berlin dispatch AYERS in favor of the
Prussian arms, which the lighter cohorts
of the French we're unable to withstand.
What next may well be asked? The
Prussian King writes that the ways to
Paris are cut of, but in the details reach
ing us we can but think the approaches
still in the hands of the French. That
the battle was sanguinary almost beyond
precedent, may be true 1t is compre-
hensive commentary upon the national
code of the last third of the 18th century.

fact, of which no really satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION has ever been given, that as
firearms are rendered more and more

structive of human life AT Borodino
the loss was one-third Of all the men en-
gagged At Waterloo it was one-fourth.
At Inkerman, where there was neither a
rifed cannon nor breech-loader on the
field, the English lost one-third. At Ma
genta and Solferino, with vastly better
weapons, the casualties were one-elev-
enth, at Chattanooga one-thirteenth,
while at Koniggratz, where the terrible
needle-gun caused such CONSERVATION,
the losses were only one-twenty-third.

He reads in his home paper names al

faces as familiar as household words.
This is cool, delightful spot, situated
upon the top of the Cumberland noun
tains, and surrounded BY the most pic
turesque and delightful scenery / ever

and fires are not uncomfortable. Think
Of that We warm-blooded denizens of
Memphis. Why not send off some of
your hot-headed, impulsive, but chival-
rous fellows, up here to cool off, instead
of outside of the State, with pistols
and coffee for two?" This bracing at
mosphere render the use of the former
entirely unnecessary, while mine host

the latter to their hearts content. There
are several Memphians sojourning here,

CHICAGO, August 20.--Two years ago
or thereabouts, +. w. Newland, his wife
and one child, we're murdered in Web

cattle as q result of this triple murder.
The dead body of Mr.. Newland was
found the next morning by neighbor-
ing farmer; the murdered woman was
not found until four days afterward; the
boy was never discovered. Three months
after the terrible deed had been COM
mitted, two persons, Charles Waller and
his wife Hannah, both of whom had been
working for the murdered man, left
for Rock county. A cousin of the
murdered man, named s. A. Haichbro-
geve, had his suspicious that this couple
had done the deed, He followed them
to their new home, and saw upon their
farm several of the missing cattle, but
Waller and his wife had gone on a visit
to Fairbault, MINI. There he followed
them, and on last Thursday, armed with
a requisition, he arrested the two. Yes
terday the captor and his prisoners
passed through this city en- route for
Missouri. The man Waller is about forty
FIVE years of age. His right hand is
sawed off above the knuckles. The wife
is aged about forty years. Sheprofesses
great indignation because she is charged
with such a terrible crime.
A large fire broke out this morning in
q block of dwellings ON Third avenue,
nflieting fifty thousand dollars damages.
