The Democracy of this country hail
with delight the promise that the Hon.
Jas B. Beck will canvass great portion
of the State In support of the State
ticket. He is the acknowledged leader
of the Democracy in Congress, and one
Of the most profound and best posted
politicians Of the day. Besides, the
whole South is one heart of gratitude for
his noble and efficient efforts in behalf of
our oppressed and disabled fellow citi-
gems. The peoples love for him arises
from his solid merit and worth, and not
from fictitious sympathy sdroitly worked
up by cunning politicians. His record
in Congress speaks for him and the ex.
trayagant adulations of newspapers are
not needed. We believe he will be our
next u. s. Senator. We know such is
the popular feeling.

Grants Eccenaricities.

The Albany Argus publishes an
article reporting what an army officer.
whose name is not given, knows about
Gen. Grant This officer afirms that
Grant was a modest, quiet and rather
duh boy at West Point. He was re
maikably attentive to his duties; but 10
for cards and drink, which has been his
besetiing weakness all through Iife He
was undoubtedly deficient in most
branches of study, and graduated low
down inhis class. The only accomplish
nent for which he was distinguished
was his skill in horsemanship. When
Grant got his hard fall at New Orleans,
after the surrender of Vicksburg. be
could not have been sober, for no horse
could throw him when he had command
Of his faculties" When first appointed
to the army, according to this authority,
Grant was sent to Fort Kearny. where
"whiskey and cards were the staple en-
tertainment winter aud summer. Grant
drank fair and never cheated at poker
or loo. The subsequent history of
Gen. Grant, up to the beginning of the
rebellion, this writer narrates as follows
In the Mexican war he was considered
a good soldier, although he acquired no
uncommon distinction, his loose habits,
contracted on the plains, still cliuging to
him. Soon after the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo he was ordered to California,
his general career being of rather dis
credltabIe character. His propensity for
drink SO increased upon him that he was
forced to resign from the army, to avoid
being caShiered by court martial
From that time up to his appointment

unteers by Gov. Yates, be led yagabond
sort of life. earning precarious liyeIi
hood by laboring in the market garden
OF his father in law. and subsequently
working 10 tapnery at Galena.
While on the Dent farm he was ac-
customed to drive a team loaded with
wood or hay into st Louis or Jefferson
Barracks, and there was nothing in his
appearance or conduct to distinguish
him from the other iaborers of the neigh
borhood, except that he was more care
less and slovenly in his attire, aud look
ed more like loafer than the average of
his associates.

The Land Once MIDDLE.

1t appears that the correct summing
up of the FINAL ballot for Register of the
Land Office, discovers that through an
error of the Secretary of the Conven
ton, Mr.. Dawson, was improperly de-
clared the nominee, when on the actual
count, Major Grant was the nominee by
two votes. Upon the intiusation of a
doubt as to his nomination, Mr.. Dawson
promptly retired from the ticket. Daw
sons friends, however, assert that several
counties were enormously voted for
Grant. The Central Committee have
declined to solve the muddle, and refer
the whole matter to the delegation of
the various counties appointed to attend
the late State Convention, and the can
didates thus receiving q majority shall
be declared the nominee.

The Cincinnati s0uthern Rail-
road.

The candidates for the Legislature iu
their discussion at Rock Springs. in this
county, on Saturday last. exhibited q
determination to make the question OF
granting a charter to the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad, leading issue in the
canvass. The representatives from this
portion of the State. both in the House
and Senate. differed upon the proposition.
and of course are solicitous for endorse
ment by their immediate constituents.
Besides 10 is we'll understood that the
friends of the charter will bring the
question before the next General Assem-
bly, in all the strength il can command
} It Is, theyefore. perhaps. we'll that the
people should understand the views of
their representatives on the proposition;
and it is also we'll that the people them
selves, should properly understand the
proposed charter.
A Board of Trustees, composed Of
Ave wealthy citizens of the city of Ciuciu
natl, authorized by the Legislature OF
Ohio 10 act as trustees for said city, ask
Of the Kentucky Legislature charter
granting them authority to acquire the
right of way, and extend line Of rail-
way through certain counties in this
Commonwealth. The charter passed in
the House by one vote, but was defeated
in the Senate. OF our immediate rap
resentatives, Erwin Anderson, Geo. w
Silvertooth. and Thomas Corbett. voted
in the affirmative; and Senators Holt
Turner, Tyler, and Representative Moss
in the negative.
We think the position taken by the
opponents of the charter we'll grounded.

CITIZENS OF UNION CRY ARRESTED
BY SoLDIERs.-We learn that u squad
of U. s. Soldiers, made their appearance
at Union City, Monday last, and in
obedience to orders from the Federal
Court at Memphis, proceeded to arrest,
the we'll known citizens, VIM. Gibbs,
Esq, j. A. Mccall, w. FL. Hickman,
Sam McCampbell, and Henry Bently,
charged with resisting u s. Marshal IN
the discharge of bis official duty. These
gentlemen were taken as prisoners to
Memphis. The circumstances which led
to their arrest were something of this
nature. Dir. Ray, merchant of Union
City, had been thrown into bankruptcy
by motion of creditors, and Deputy Mar
shall Harrelson, ordered to take posses
sion of his stock, take invoice, and hold
until assignee was appointed. By some
process through the law court at Union
City the debt or debts against Ray we're
replesied, and the Sheriff of Obion BY
order of the court, and at the instance of
Mr.. Gibbs, the attorney, sought to dis
possess the Marshal who held the store.
Here arose the conflict between the two
officers, which resulted as above.
