DEMOCRATIC.
To The Democratic sad Conservative Voters
Of the State Of Tennessee.

From the Nashville Union and American. ]
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for
members Of Congress, Governor Of the
State, and members Of the Legislature
will be held. IL is deemed of the
highest importance, in order to secure
the complete overthrow Of the pOliti-
cal 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.
The Executive Committee ap-
pointed 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 action in those
elections, resolved TO call convention
Of the Democratic and Conservative
party Of the State to assemble at the
Capitol in this city on Tuesday, the
18th of September next, at IL am. for
the purpose OF nominating candidate
for Governor, and taking such other
steps as may be necessary TO secure the
thorough organization of the party.
The several counties in the Stale are,
therefore, requested on or before the
first Monday 10 September, to appoint
delegates to that convention,

SEWARD.
He Travels for His couatry---what for7

WASHINGTON, August 8.-Secretary
Robson has issued letter to Mr..
Seward at Auburn, saying that, haV-
ing learned from Secretary Fish that
he (Seward) proposed to visit the
Asiatic countries, he would take the
liberty of rendering to him the use of
any of the United States naval vessels
in port or waters where he proposed
to go. The Secretary has given in de-
tail the names and probable localities
now and the contemplated destination
OF various vessels, and the names of
their commanders, and informs Sew
ard that he has issued orders to all
officers to extend to him all
facilities and courtesies within
their power, and concludes his letter
by saying: II am sure they will be
happy to do anything in their power
for gentleman so distinguished; but
l have thought proper, in justice to
yourself and the country, to place the
proper orders in shape" -
Mr.. Seward will be received at San
Francisco by one of the fleet vessels,
and thenceforth be carried in one OF
them during his entire absence. He
is expected to be absent until next
spring; in the meantime it is under
stood he will address unofficial letters
to the Secretary of State and Secretary
of the Navy on State affairs in Oriental
countries.
The Secretary of State has addressed
letters to the United States Ministers
and COnsuls in China and Japan, ad-
vising them of the intended visit of
Mr.. Seward, suggesting that all proper
attention be paid him whenever he
may come in their vicinity. Mr..
Seward will also do all in bis power to
arrange with Oriental merchants for a
through line of first-class steamers
from Yeddo and Hong Kong to San
Francisco; and the Chinese emigra-
grafton question will be sitted thor-
Oughly, and the Chinese authorities
induced not to allow any more women
to emigrate to California from Hong
Kong.

Of the recent battles means the tri-
umph of the Prussians in war. The
German press generally consider the
French loss irretrievable. But there
are three French corps that have not
yet been under fire. The movement
of retreating for the purpose of con-
eentrating has been affected.
