GEOGRAPHICAL. = TIE following
sketch of our worthy townsman,
Capt. Frank p. Gracey,i Is ft7,m the
Union ard American. We always
thought the captain was a !" host {"
but wasnot aware Of the great vari-
ETY. Of his makeup:
"Ceiticr furnished us the following
sketch Of Frank p. Gracey: He
was born years ago, IS or 30, more or
less, In Eddyville, married the belle
Of the village, and hns named Tom
Ryman's new boat after his old town.
He began his nautical career In 1891,
ne mud clerk on the old America, un-
der w. A. Gleaves, the present treas
urer of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga railroad. Ante beNuIe, he was
clerk on the Leuella, Embassy, John
Simpson, J. @. Cline, st. Francis No.
2, Ingomar, and Josephine Savage.
Since the war, he has been Captain
of only one boat, the Alice, a lisre.
putable by 10 hind-wheeler, and Is
now running, at Clarksville, two
wharfboats, both daily. Not having
been thar himself, "Celticn Is not
very well posted about the Captains
military exploits, but knows that he
played soldier for three years as Lieu
tenant and Captain Of Cobb's famous
Kentucky Battery. At Johnsonville
he was ordered by General Forrest to
go into the steamboat business,
and he obeyed. His first prize
was the Mazzeppa and bar,es, both
heavily ladened with supplies for the
federal army. A shell from MOrtOn's
battery having disabled this craft,
she landed or the opposite side Of the
river, and her crew with the excep-
ton OF three men abandoned her,
took to the woods. The river was
very high, and all water crafts had
been destroyed by the enemy, hui
Captain Gracey could not resist the
temptation tn go n boating, so lie
rolled a log into the river, and leaped
into the angry flood. He calamity
breasted the waters Of the swollen
stream, and reached tue shore Just
below the steamer. Alone he ap.
preached the craft, and boldly de.
manded her surrender. This was
done. With the assistance of hi.
t1ree prtsOuers, lie Strt,cileu TOpt
across the river, and the army pulled
over the valuable prize. On the same
day Forrest captured the ]. w
Cheeseman, Tuscarora, Venus, and
the gunboat SIS (Undine.) This YES
sci was made Confederate cruiser
and turned over the command o
4 Capt. Gracey. The destruction o
4 this gunboat, with three others
twelve transport steamers. forty
barges and their immense govern
ment stores, Is historic and wei
known. His last military steam
boating was done on Cumberland
river, at Cumberland City, where h,
captured and burned the Thomas E
Tut, Ben South and Echo. C.arks
vile may well he proud of Captain
Gracey, for he is n good bOatman, {
gallant soldier, fine business man
: and always an accomplished gentle
man. i't-
The above biographical sketch re
minds Silverthorn of the Evansville,
Journal, that he has lying by his desl
a portion of the shell that entered
the middle boiler Of the Thomas f
Tut, and blew her up. 1t was pre-
. scented to him by Capt. John Sinzich
who had the Tut wrecked.

IT is stated upon Radical authority
that If Grant Is not reelected, he in
tends, by coup d'etat, to hold on
to the White House, at all hazards.
II is not easy to believe that he con-
templates a measure so extreme as
making himself absolute master OF
the country by force, or that the Rad
icals, as party, will stand by him
in such movement. Should COM
ing events tend to confirm the truth
of such rumor, it may be necessary
that the Democrats, in National Con-
vention, shall check-mate the pres
ent Dictator by nominating General
Sherman, who as Commander-in-
Chief of the army, is not the man to
be foiled by such a stupid ass as Grant.
We are Disguised with military men,
in civil positions-the theory is wrong
and the practice, dangerous, but as
one poison may counteract another,
SO Sherman, u man of some mind,
some sense of craftsmanship and
public justice, may be the antidote
to the malignant Grant poison OF
which the Republic is rapidly dying.
The remedy might prove as bad MS
the disease, but In extreme cases,
latitude, in experiment, may be JUS
titiable.

THE question of the extension of
the Northwestern Railroad, from
Huntingdon to Jackson, Tenn, is
being mooted, as one Of grave inter-
est to Nashville. We would have
thought the same, awhile ago, but
now think it time that Tennessee
had better quit building roads for the
benefit Of foreign Railroad Rings
Turnpikes would do our towns more
good than railroads that run through
them like q dose of salts.
