were driven back with heavy loss this their
most advanced position. The Wurtembergers
were supported by a brigade of the Second
Pomerauian corps, the Crown Princes old
corps, and part Of the Sixth corps. Both
sides fought lard. The French were led by
dismounted officers Of high rank, and showed
something of their traditional fire. Had not
the urtemberger been very steady while be-
ing driven back, and had not the Prussians
arrived promptly t. their support, the invest

French merely gained better foothOld for
cheir future spring. Their great want is spase
to deploy forces. \ severe fight took place
the same day north OF ST. Dennis The French
sailed out a-ainst the Fourth Prussian corps.
The attack was repulsed and prisoners were
taken by the Prussians. The loss Of the
French was heavy, including seventeen
officers. Frederick Charless operations,
though not unsuccessful, are much hindered
by heavy roads, the army being fatigued by
long marches. To-day all was quiet on the

On Friday morning the Prussians attacked

fighting the enemy failed to carry the positions
OF the French and retreated, leaving the dead
and wounded on the field. Their losses were
from $4,000 to 10000. Gen Ducrot greatly
distinguished himself in the battle Gen.

The Democrats make vast deal Of fuss if a
Republican candidate contests the election of
a Democrat to Congress or a State Legislature,
but when they have an opportunity to sue
cessfully contest tha election Of a Republican,
they are prompt to take advantage Of it. 4.
n. Townbly was the only Republican elected
to the Albany Legislature from New York
City. His majority was seventeen. The
Democratic ring profess to have found in the
ballet box nineteen ballots cast for Townbly
on which the voters had not placed the mum
Der Of the district, and on that technical ground
Townbly is denied certificate, and the cleo
ton is given to a Democrat on a majority Of
two votes. Had this mean trick been com
mitted by the Republicans, the Democratic
papers all over the land would have set up a
howl worthy the lower kingdom. This tr ok
ties the New York Legislature.

A Slap in the Face.

Referring to the State Immigra-
ton bill, providing for a State
Bureau of immigration, which
should derive its information from
auxiliary county societies, the
GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf says:
The plan as we have believed and
said before was a good one; but
the Legislature is disposed to bur-
lesque all bills for public benefit,
not pass them. For instance, the
wool interests of the State are
Frustrated, and thousands of
worthless ours, of more worth
less masters, run wide, and destroy
the sheep of honest farmers, while
game laws are passed which per-
haps not six men in county care
anything about-perhaps well e.
nough in their way, but Of no par
tieular advantage to any one pecu-
niarily.

To the Voters of Lincoln
County.


Having some time ago become
a candidate for County Court Clerk
of this county, and not being able
to see each voter in person, I am
compelled to address them through
the medium of a circular.
l have spent the greater part of
my life in this county, and am
known either in person or from
character to many Of you; but to
those who do not know me, !
would respectfully ask them to in
vestigate my claims for the posi-
ton, and if they find me worthy,
and well qualified for the Office, ]
will be thankful for their votes.
Independent of qualifications
and fitness for the place, / have
but few claims on the people
There is one, however, which /
think / have right to mention in
common with other Confederate
soldiers, and that is the hardships
and privations of a soldiers life.
In the spring of 1861, when Sc
cession was popular and war clouds
hung thick and heavy over our be-
loved land, l volunteered a pri-
vate in the 9Th Tennessee Regi-
ment Infantry, c. S. A., and re-
NAMED with it until the close of
the war.
The people of this county told
us, and / believe they were in ear
nest, that they would be friends
to the soldier both on the perilous
field of battle and at home.
The war is now over and peace
has returned, but with peace OPP
preston and tyranny have also
come. AS a class, the Confederate
soldiers are prescribed and perse-
cuted by the general government ;
hence those of us on the Rebel
side who were SO unfortunate as
to be manned in the late contest,
aIe compelled to look to home
folks for favors, pensions and boun-
ties, while the victorious Federal
soldier looks proudly to his gov
eminent for such favors.
The County Court Clerks office
is a favor to be bestowed, and as
a wounded Confederate soldier, ]
simply ask its bestowal upon me-
Do as you will. l will bow
gracefully and submissively to
your will.

The Democratic party is an or

there might be Democrats; but there
could not be Democratic party.
Every person who desires the
Success Of the principles Of the Dem
ocraiio party will stand by its Oh
gsnization. To repudiate its or

Organization is furthermore es-
sential to the success Of measures

becoming q candidate l have en-
deavored to see as many of the
people as possible, and to present
my claims in person /; but I have
not, heretofore, nor will | be able
before the day of election, to make
thorough canvass of the county,

of business engagements that can

with the rest, and If "found want
ing" to bow submissively to the
verdict of the people.
l make no special appeal to the
sympathy, feelings, prejudices or
passions of any one. / do not
seek to disparsge the claims or
qualifications of any man, nor to
magnify my own. l only ask
that the people take q calm and
dispassionate survey of the whole
field, and look at the matter fairly
and impartially, being careful first
to secure the public interest, and
remembering that "if they are true
to themselves, then they are false
to no man." If they will do this,
| may rest in the reasonable assu-
rance of their support.
A year ago, contrary to my in
terest, l responded to your call,
and attempted to serve you in a
position of little honor and less
profit. Today l am asking a ia
vor at your hands, and l cannot
; think that my request will fall up
on Indifferent ears.
Each one of my opponents has
bis circle of relatives and particu-
lar friends, who will vote for him
: without thought or consideration ;
but there are enough who can rise
) above personal feelings, and who
are free to act without prejudice
, or Partially to secure a good and
true man for the Office. To this
class | appeal more especially, and
, only ask them to consider my case.
Some persons have, in order to
injure me in this race, attempted
| to run me for another Office. To
J them | would say, that ] have not
practiced in the "circus business"
long enough to attempt to ride two
horses at once, and l hope they
will not force me to perform such o
perilous feat against my wishes.
l wish it distinctly understood
that l am a candidate for but one
, office-that of County Court Clerk
and if the people will honor me
with their preference, / will endea-
vor to make them faithful officer.
i If elected / expect to devote all
, my time and attention to the du.
ties of the Office, and to be faith.
, full in their discharge.
Finally, | appeal to my friends
throughout the county to lend me
: a helping hand, and whatever fate
a may betide me, their favor will be
: gratefully remembered and appre.
ciated. LUCIUS P. BRIGHT.
