"A correspondent Of the New York

is slowly leaking out. 1t shows the
position of the French army as worse
and worse. Ten days ago . dispatch
meant to be reassuring, was stating
that Failly had estabiished commune
cations with Mcmahon. 1t now ap-
pears that these communications were
established on the field Of the last bat
tie of Worth. Failly came up with q
division of infantry and brigade of
cavalry, and shared McMahon's defeat.
An official dispatch says he covered
his retreat. Mcmahon got into Sa-
verne on Sunday, but had to clear out
in the eyeningk This town is now oc-
cupied by the Russians. McMahon's
condition lie, in all probability, deplor-
able, driven, as he is. into the noun
tains Of the Vosgcs, with the merest

arms or provisions. 1t is not known
in Paris where he is at this moment.

Denocratic st,te Convention.

The 18th day of next month ma
been agreed upon, as will be seen
from the card of the Central Commit
tee, for a Convention of the Democrat
CIV of Tennessee, to be holden at Nash
vile, to nominate candidate for Gov
ernor. So much has been accoms
plished, despite the s'third party
movement of the Banner, which now
champions the Convention with all
the enthusiasm of newborn zeal.
The State is not wanting in able and
patriotic citizens, fully capable of re-
storing to the Office of Governor its
wonted honor and dignity. The
names of BATE, BRowN, QUARLEsE and
CoLYER, have each been already men-
toned i'm this connection, and have
their respective friends. Many OH
ers, equally able and popular, may Be
mentioned: such as Col. VIM. II. STE
pHENs, Hon. j. ID. C. ATKINS, of Hen
ry, Col. JNo. F. House, of Montgom-
cry, to say nothing of those in the
more eastern portion of the State, any
one of whom would satisfy and unite
the Democracy of Tennessee.
Let us remember to adhere firmly
to principle and keep ourselves
in accord with the Democracy of the
nation, and we shall not only pre-
serve our strength and usefulness at
home, but materially aid in the newt
able success, sooner or later, of rout-
ing the cohorts of Radicalism and of
placing the government again in the
hands of a national conservative party.

COLUMBIA, TENN:
CALL FOR A STATE CONVENTION.

To the Demeeratfc and Conservative
Voters Of Tennessee.
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for Mem
bers of Congress, Governor of the State,
and Members of the Legislature will be
held. 1t is deemed OF the highest i'm
portance, in order to secure the ccm>
plete overthrow of the political party
which hes for several years ruled and al
most ruined us, that there should be
unity of action among the Democratic
and Conservative party of the State in
those elections.
The Executive Committee appointed
by the State Convention held in thiscity
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 resolv-
ed to Gail a conventfon VI INC Dehfocho Ho
and Conservative party OF the State to
assemble at the Capitol in this city on
Tuesday the 18th of september next at
IL N. for the purpose Of nominating a
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 State
are, therefore, requested on or before the
lst Monday in September to appoint del.
egates to that convention.

Cur Judicia! OMcers.

Even under the reign of Radicalism in
Tennessee, the people Of Maury County
were peculiarly exempt from having bad
Judges. Judges Campbell, Ward, Walk
er and Hughes were efficient and upright
champions of Justice, and no man was
by them defrauded of life, liberty or
property.
VIM. S. Fleming, Esq, of this city, has
been elected our Chancellor, and it is no
small praise to say that he will make a
good one. BY nature gentleman, by
cultivation scholar, by practice and ex-
perience lawyer, he is justly fitted to
adorn and dignity the Bench and keep
unspotted from the slime of partisan or
personal hatred the sacred ermine of his
office. We believe that Judge Fleming
will approach as near as his humanity
will allow to making his own beautiful
ideal, a ''model Chancellor" which is,
in effect, perfect intelligence, perfect wis
dom, and perfect soul. While other men
are gentlemanly, he is more-a gentle
man.
Judge William p. Martin, our newly
elected Circuit Judge, is known to al
most every man, woman and child in the
County, and it is really unnecessary to
say anything of him. He held the office
of Circuit Judge for number of years
before the war, and gave universal salts
faction. An able jurist, clear and rapid
thinker, fluent talker, and a congenial
companion, he will never be instanced
as an example of the unfitness of the
people to choose Judicial officers.
Capt. Joseph II. Russell, of this city
is elected Attorney General in this DIS.
trict, by very handsome majority. He
is quite young man, and never occu.
pied any official position except that o
officer in the Confederate army. He wa.
brave and gallant soldier, and is pro.
missing lawyer and jealous christian
gentleman. Since the return of actual
peace to our section of the State, on,
people have needed but little the re-
strainiDg influences of the law, and witt
such officers we almost lcok for minia
ture millennium to reign. -ai

GEN. Bate.

This distinguished citizen and sol
dicr declines, through letter written
TO friend at Memphis and published
i'm the Appeal, TO have his name used
i'm connection with the candidacy for
Governor at the ensuing election.
The cause assigned is the ''disabili-
tics" under which he labors by reason
of the 14th Amendment, never having
asked nor received pardon.
Few men i'm Tennessee have more
of the elements of popular strength
than Gen. BATE, and there are none
more deserving of it. He has won for
himselfa reputation for talent, gallan-
try, energy and patriotism, that places
him among the foremost men of the
State. Though under the ban of Fed
cral persecution now, the time will
come when returning sense of jus
ticc will relieve him of il, and the peo-
pie will delight to do him honor.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-A special dis
patch from Berlin states that another
attempt has been made for peace be-
tween Frrnce and Prussia. The
Queens messenger arrived at Berlin
Yesterday with proposals of peace
from the English Cabinet.
The Emperor of France expressed
his readiness to treat for peace, and
proposals were made through Lord
LYONS. The King of Prussia and
Count Bismarck were telegraphed to
at headquarters. The King replied
that If Napoleon wished for peace he
must ask an armistic in the usual way.
The issue must lie desided either by
arbitrameDt or war.

are rumors though tonight that the
Prussians have suffered a most SER
ious defeat, with enormous losses of
men and have been driven back to the
river. They do not come from the

q singular Indifference to public opin-

The Humboldt Ander speaks of our
fellow-citizcn, General w. c. WHIT
THoRNE, in the following terms:


But Of all the men in the State that
we would delight to honor, w. c.
WHIrrHoRNE, Of Maury, Is, perhaps,
our first choice. He is emphatically
OF Us. Asa soldier, gentleman, states
man and scholar, he is without a peer,
of his age, in the State. We predict
his nomination and election, and that
when he goes it Washington will
take leadership of the southern party
in that body. .s ~
WHTTHoRNE is a representative
man, and is more in sympathy with
the masses in his district than THOM-
AS or any one spoken ofin connection
with the Office. He Will command
more respect by his bold unequivocal
course in the past, his great talents,
natural conservatism and suavity of
address, than any of his opponents,
and we shall be badly disappointed if
the ''tried by fire" element in his dis
trict does not place him in the for ty
