A man named Gibbs-Theodore Gibbs
lis said to be elected to Congress over
w. C. Whittborne i'm the Columbia dis
trict. Gibbs is a proper representative
of those who voted for him. He is
among the most distinguished men OF
Tennessee. The lustre of John Bells
fame pales before that Of Gibbs. He is a
weazen- faced little fellow, and was ia
nous singer of the olden time in the Is
real of Whiggery. He then won undy-
ing fame, and mas triumphed over Whit
thorne by genius and modesty. John
Bell. on one occasion, was invited to
speak at Columbia and vast multitude
were gathered to hear the great states
man. Gibbs was there, the singer of
absurd Wing songs and especially dis
when he chanted Dan Tucker and other
classical rhymes. When Mr.. Bell APP
peared, Gibbs stood beside the Senator,
and when Mr.. Bell rose to address the
mighty coucourse, Gibbs said to him,
speak short, Mr.. Bell, the people came
to hear me sing" John Bell was amaz-
ed, shocked, staggered, dumbfoun ded,
paralyzed. He said afterward that he
never heard of.that fellow Gibbs with
out an irrepressible shudder.
We copy the above from the Mem
phis Appeal. 1t is with great pleas
ure we inform our contemporary that
it is mistaken about the election of
Col. GIBBS. Gen. WMTTHoRNE, our
able and distinguished Representa-
tive, is reelected by about twenty
three hundred majority.

"THERE is no use in crying owe;
spill, milk" is an old saying, the truth
Of which none of us doubt except on
very trying occasion like that o.
our late disaster in Tennessee. 1t j.
certainly very trying to the patience
to submit quietly to defeat when il
was deemed almost impossible. But
there remains consolation: if the
Liberals have been defeated, it was
done by the Liberals themselves, and
and the remedy against a repetition
of the disaster remains with them.
The. only question is, will they al
low the bad feelings engendered in
the late campaign to keep the party
in two wings, and thus ensure defeat !;
or will. they forget the recent unfor-
tunate past, and act as one party, and
thus secure victory? That they will
do the latter, is the devout wish and
hope of all that desires the well
fare of our great State. We do not
desire it for the sake of the spoils OF
office: we wish it because We believe
it is absolutely essential to the peace
and prosperity of Tennessee. OF all
persons in the Union, HORACE MAY
NARp, the man of hate, is the last one
that should represent the people OF
Tennessee in Congress. But he has
been chosen, and will serve-our en-
emies. Let US not bother ourselves
about who is TO blame for thir calam-
ity to our State /; neither of the two
wings of the Democratic or Liberal
party in Tennessee can throw the
first stone at the other, for neither
is without blame. No principle sep
arates johnson men from Cheatham
men; therefore, let them act hence
forth in concert. Gov. Brown is re-
elected by majority so much less
than that he received two years ago,
as to asionish everybody. Let no
one suppose for a moment that this
was caused by any objection the peo-
ple had to his first administration.
1t was due to the great confidence felt
in his popularity and strength. Ten
nessee never had a Governor who
a;d more for the welfare of her peo-
81. or worked more conscientiously
~ nro.ec.. their honor and enhance
their prosperity.

Virgin Visions.

At the northeastern base of the
Pyrenees,, lies the beautiful little
French village ofLourdes. The sides
of the mountains are abrupt and cav
ernous. Near the town flows shall
low stream, called the River Gave ;
near the village, and in the mountain
side, are severalI grottoes. On a
bright, beautiful day in February,
1858, girl fourteen years old, BER-
NADErrE SoUBIRoUs, was picking up
dry brush and Sticks Ito cook the
family dinner. The father and mo-
Their of this girl were..very poor; she
had always been an invalid, and was
then scarcely able to walk. She was
preparing to. cross the little stream
near the grOtto, when she saw a. beau
tiful woman, dressed in spotless
white, standing at the entrance of
the grotto. This supernatural being
instructed the girl to repair daily to
the same spot; and as the wonderful
news spread, was accompanied by
hundreds of people, who were wit
nesses of her entrancement During
one of those mystic conditions, obey
ing the directions of the vision, she
assembled a large rock near. the place
of enchantnent, carrying in her
hands little earth, which she placed
on the centre of the rock, and after
certain strange movements Of the
hands, q strong stream burst forth.
This was witnessed by hundreds OF
people. The fame of these wonder.
full manifestations spread over the
country; thousands rushed to the
mysterious spring, and all who were
afflicted, and drank Of or bathed in
the water, were fully restored to
health and happiness. At first the
Romish priests frowned down upon
what they termed the "delusion Of
the people," and impostures of little
BERNApETTE. But they ..could not
resist the wonders performed. Tens
of thousands of people now crowd
| every highway of travel through
France, going to the spring of Lour-
des. They have already built a
church costing $2,500,00O francs, and
Bishops and priests are daily preach
ing to the vast concourse of people
daily worshipping at the spring
The vision of little BERNADETTE, and
the efficacy of the spring at Lourdes
are now a part OF the religion Of
France; and doubtless among the
canon of the Romish church the little
girl of Lourdes will be known az
"St. BERNADETFR." -.I.

The Radicals have gained five
Congressman in Tennessee, THORN
BuRGH, CRUTcHFuELD, HARRISON,
NUM-, and LEWIS. We are not at all
surprised at our defeat in the second
or "battering.ram" district because
the unjust and unnatural way in
which that district was formed, in
order to secure partisan victory, was
unworthy of the Democratic party,
and deserved the defeat it received.
Our readers doubtless remember that
We denounced the injustice of the
thing after it was consummated. To
make the matter still worse, the De-
mocracy of that district, instead OF
dominating q man of ability and in
tegrity, and one who would have re-
flected honor on our State-like Col.
j. M. FLEMING-put up man un-
known, and possessing but little
strength. In the Nashville district,
the Democrats chose q man who was
personally very Objectionable to the
people, and whom good people be-
lieved was unworthy Of the exalted
position of Congressman. He cer-
tainly made one or two speeches du-
ring the late canvass, which did his
party great harm because his utter
ances were not only impolitic but
untrue. Mr.. HARRIsoN's radicalism
is about the only objection to him,
tor he is able, and, what is better, So
Der. In the ninth district, the Dem.
ocrats acted very unwisely in nomi-
mating an old WORKOUT, unpopular
politician. If they had nominated
strong, sensible man like Col. LOON
Ey, a man of the people, he would
have been elected and if Col. BURcH
had been selected in the Nashville
district, we would not have been
beaten in that stronghold of the De-
mocracy. Gen. BRIGHT, Gen. WHIT
THoRNE, and Gen. ATKINS, the only
Democrats elected, are all men cffine
ability, and in every respect superior
to their opponents-hence their cleo
ton. Let our late disaster learn us
wisdom; that wisdom which will
cause us to always select our best
men for all responsible positions, and
not trust to party strength to elect
men of inferior ability and worse
character.

New Process.

The greatest, most important interest of the Pacific slope and Rocky Mountain Territories, is mining for the precious metals and it strengthens our faith in the near ap- proach of a period when thorough knowl- edge of the business of mining will be re- duced to a science. By bad management and ignorance of mining, milling, etc, much money has been fruitlessly wasted; enter prises have failed; capitalists have been ruined; and poor miners and their districts cursed for faults not of theirs, but of the smart experts.
 Now, however, and for some time past, there has been general move along the line among men of genius, and we occasionally hear of the fruits of the labor of head and hands, in an account of some new inven- tion for working ores better, cleaner and cheaper than it were possible to work them by the old processes.
 We have furnaces, of several shapes and names, but the best process of all would seem to be that of Mir. A. B. Paul, to whose fertile brain we are indebted for much that is new in squeezing and coaxing the rich filling from ores of gold and silver.
 This process is advertised in to-day's Nil NrR, and miners will do we'll to read what Mr. Paul says
