Withdrawal OF Hon. Dorsey u. Thomas.

To rioters OF Sjrth Congressional Dis
t,.ict: have for some time been annOun-
ced as a candidate for Congress from
this district. Justice to you requires that
I should withdraw from the canvass. l
will briefly state the. reasons. In 1861,
after the secession of the State, / was
candidate for State Sen ate. 1t is not
necessary now to state the reasons for
NV being candidate. 1 was not elected;
did not expect or desire to be. This does
not literally or truly bring me under
disabilities, but technically may. 10
remove all difficulties OH that score, l
last spring, by petition, stated the
facts TO Congress, and asked, II under
disabilities, to be relieved. The bill IN
which my name, with several thousand
other citizens of the State was included,
did not pass. This still leaves me IN
doubtful position. / have odoubt OF the
passage of the bill in Decembernext, Dut
would not have you take any risks, d1rect
or contingent should have notified you
of the facts long ago, but was advised
by friends to defer it until meeting OF a
district convention could DE had, ana
then submit them to its consideration.
This had resolved to do, and would do,
but there is being good deal Of feeling
engendered between the personal friends
| of ten. Whitthorne and myself. l have
| labored too long and too earnestly. and
have made too many sacrifices for the
establishment of just and correct
principles of government to allow any
| desire on my part for mere personal pre-
! fermeut for a moment to distract and di-
! vide the counsels of those who should
work together in harness.
/ L hope those friends who have person
/ ally or by convention solicited me to be-
come candidate will allow me to pursue
| this course. l cannot have personal
scramble for office with those for whom
| I lave so long labored. To my personal
friends who have so warmly supported
me, and to the masses OF the great Demo
cratic and Conservative party, VINO nave
with singular unalimity rendered me

WILLIAMSBURG. Tenn, Aug. L;


EDITOR HERALD We, the under
signed citizens of Maury county,
feeling deep interest in the welfare
of our country, and especially our
State. have been looking around for
some suitable person to represent us
i'll our next State Legislature, and
finding none more suitable and de-
serving than our neighbor and fellow
citizen, G.. W. Kinzer, take this meth
od of soliciting him to become a can
didate for that important trust. We
believe that if there ever was time
when our best, purest and most solid
men should be chosen as our repre-
scntativcs, this is the time. We are
satisfied that Esquire Kinzcr would
be cmphatically the right man in the
right place: and that he would dis
charge the various and arduous du-
ties of that important position with
marked ability, honor TO himself, and
satisfaction to his constituency. ii
Mr.. Kinzcr shall become candidate
for said trust, We are satisfied that he
will receive an almost undivided sup
port ofthis section of our county.

PRINCIPLES, not men, is an old
and orthodox sentiment, and yet, like
all other well worn aphorisms, it will
not admit of universal application.
Principles may be before men, but
without good. efficient men. good
principles will lose their SAVIOR.
Principles and men" should be the
motto. We want to elect a good
man to represent Maury county in
the next Legislature, and Ohe whose
principles are right. His political
principles may be right, and yet lack
the ability and influence necessary to
subscrvc the best interests Of the
whole country. Therefore, we not
only want man in whose political
fidelity we can trust, but whose abili-
ty is unqucstioned, and whose charac-
ter is unspotted. In order to secure
the election of such man, we must
through the Convention Oh next Mon
day, nominate candidates for the
county. There are a number of gen.
tlemen i'm the field, when there should
only be one, any one of whom we
will cheerfully support if nominated
by the Convention.

cone into the ducling or honorable
murder business. The latest case
occurred on last Friday morning.
+. T. FREEMAN a native of Virginia

with L. l.. HAMLIN, a young lawyer
of Memphis, in which the latter was
almost instantly killed. n lady is
said TO have been the cause of the
duel. Both of the young men were
highly respected, and the death OF
U,MLIN caused great sorrow through

with grief, and would not be COM
fortcd. The last words of the dying
man were. "Oh, my poor mother.
The following is the correspondence
which led TO the duel:

opinion. Public opinion, headed by
the editor of the Appeal and others,
has made it necessary to young
mans standing in honorable society,
TO fight duel, when asked to do so
by a professional pistol shot. The
practice of duelling in the South is
the abuse of a chivalric spirit always
cherished by the people. Like all
other abuses of a good thing, it is a
deadly evil, and is powerful enemy
of christianity. Ministers of the Cos
pei should preach against il as the
rankest sin of the age: the press
should increasingly war against it ;
but all these powerful agencies will
be powerlcss unless it is treated by
our prominent public men, of I'M
doubted courage, as cowardly and
mean. 1t is only tolerated now be-
cause it is refuge against social dis.
grace. Let the case he reversed, and
society set the signet of dishonor up.

Withdrawal OF Gen. W. A. Quarles.

Recent numbers of the Nashville
press contain the card of this distin-
guished and justly popular fellow
citizen declining to be longer consid-
cred candidate for GubernatOrial
honOrs. We regret that the crowded
state of our columns will not admit
of the publication of his manly and
patriotic card. This course has been
dictated, says Gen. @, by an earnest
desire to secure that harmony of ac-
ton i'm the Democratic party SO essen
tial at all times to success. For the
sake of harmony, we can afford to
yield everything but principle, and |
am satisfied" says he, that the Con-
vention to assemble on the 18th OF
September next riU be uigilant, and
steynly rebuke ercry effort to inter-
polate heresies, or to acithhOld an &C.
preston of the .fult party creed" r..
Few men in Tennessee have more
devoted friends than Gen. QUARLEs,
and the withdrawal of his name from
before the people will be received by
them with regret only compensated
by the reflection that it requires a
higher degree of moral courage to
make sacrifices for principle than to
receive honors in its advocacy.
While entertaining very high re-
gard for the talent and moral worth
of Gen. QUARLEs, we are frank to
confess that he was not our first
choice for the nomination: we are
equally frank, however, to admit that
he has done much towards organic
ing the Democratic party and giving
a speedy termination to the recent,
and seemingly pre-conccrted, effort
to divide and distract the people of
Tennessee by leading the old Wing
element into utilization with the pres
ent dominant party at Washington,
by awakening their ancient prejudices
to Democracy. ..... -. ..
The following resolution, unani-
mously adopted by a recent meeting
of the citizens of Montgomery coun-
ty, introduced by that gallant soldier
and esteemed jurist, Judge RICE,
himself a Wing of antc-bellum days,
shows the light in which General

fully prepared t. resist attack. The au-
thorities are exceedingly active. The
workingmen declare they will defe nd
the city, street by street, should it be-
come necessary. The Democratic and
Republican journals are as ardent as
others in urging defense. Political diff
ferences are forgotten in the presence o
the enemy. \ private party who half
purchased 100000 old muskets from the
Government has returned them, and
they have been distributed among the
National Guard Armed with these
weapons, they are daily drilling under
experienced officers, and are certain to
make good stand against an assault.
The halt of the Prussians in their move

way from the provinces. The capture of
