CHEATHAM FOR CONGRESS.

The Shelbyville Commercial hoists the
name of Gen. B. f. Cheatham as its can
didate for Congress from the State at large
and appends letter from Hon. G. H
Henry, in his favor. We clip the follow.
ing from the letter. Speaking of his SER
vices i'll the Mexican war and in the Con.
federate army, he says:
For all these heroic services in which he has
met death face to face on hundred fields, he
has received no token of the love or approba.
ton of the people of his own beloved Tennessee,
the land of his birth. The people Of Tennessee
owe him debt of gratitude and now is the
time TO pay it. have heard it said that Cheat
ham no speaker True, els no orator as Brutus
was but he has a clear head and an unerring
judgment, which are qualities far superior to
the gift OF oratOry. Jefferson was no orator, and
old Nathaniel Macon, long the Nestor of Con
Yress, hardly ever spoke and never longer than
half an hour. but was all the time the peoples
champion and the confidential adviser Of Presi.
dents and statesmen.
The adherents of our distinguished fell
low citizen of Greeneville can find moth
ing to say to the Convention, that will
weigh SO heavily there, as the services
of Gen. Cheatham, alluded to by the
Eagle Orator"

GEORGIA DEMOCRACY.

The Democrats of Fulton county, Geor-
ria, are in a bad way. One week ago yes
terday they held a meeting at Atlanta,
which it is said was not fairly conducted.
A call for another meeting says:
The Chairman of the meeting failed to pre-
serve order; and he failed to put legitimate
motions to the meeting for action and on these
accounts peaCeabe, well-dispoSed. law abiding
Democrats were prevented from free, peacea-
bic and fair expression of opinion and denied an
opportunity peaceably and fairly to vote for the
men OF their choice to represent the party in tn 3
State Convention. No opportunity whatever
was accorded TO those who were present to exer-
else the right Of freemen and Democrats; and
in this way the proceedings we're characterized
by so much unfairness and injustice, that no
one can claim the same to be legitimate or bind
ing upon the honest members of the PARTY
The declared reeults of that meeting cannot
present the views of any one except those who
at that meeting voted in favor of gentlemen
who do not represent the Party. A large ma
jOrity of those who were present at the time
were excluded from such privileges as ought to
be accorded at a Democratic meeting.
The Democracy of the country ignore and re-
pudiate the action of that meeting because it
was unfair. and have demanded this call for an
other meeting
The call was published in the Sun, double
loaded, and signed NEARLY one thousand
Democrats" So it seems that there are
two Democratic parties in Fulton county.
One of them is a Greeley party and one an
anti-Greeley party.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.

1t will be seen by our dispatches this
morning that the Free Traders who have
been holdings conference in New York,
have nominated w. S. Groesbeck, of Ohio,
for the Presidency, and Mr.. Olmstead, of
New York, for Vice President.
Mr.. GrOesbeck is leading Democrat in
his State, and enjoys national reputation.
He lisa man of unquestionable ability and
would make strong race under more IA
vorable circumstances. Unless he is en-
dorsed at Baltimore, which is not very
probable, he is not likely to accept the
nomination. But if he should be endorsed
at Baltimore, or if he should receive a
large vote there, he will run, in which case,
good bye Horace Greeley.

MARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.

The Narrow Gauge Convention held at
st. Louis on the 18th inst, shows that the
question of narrow gauge railways have
not lessened their practicabiIity among
railroad men.
The list of delegates show that all sec
tons of the Union, and Vore especially
the Western country are well represented.
We notice the names of Captain Wander
hoof, of Knoxville, and Major Reeves,
President of the Greeneville and Paint
Rock Narrow Gauge, present as delegates
from East Tennessee.
The experience of those who have been
the practical workers of the narrow gauge
had the preference of the Convention. Col.
Hubburt, of Georgia, seems to be much in
terested in the subject Of narrow. He says
if we can not have the three foot gauge in
the South, then let us do the next best,
build the two foot gauge.
Col. Greenwood, General Manager OF
the Denver and Rio Grande Narrow
Gauge, seems to be enthusiastic on this
subject-as he has III miles in operation
and his practical experience in this class
of roads is worthy consideration.

keeping down outbreaks, or not, he will
