A gentleman in this eity handed US
yesterday letter received from friend,
dated Trenton, October 81, from which
we take the following: Cheatham will
receive in this county about $500 votes,
johnson about 800, and Maynard about
1000 or 1900 votes. counted the vote
of Trenton to-day, and can only find
twenty.three men for johnson, and give
him the benefit Of every doubtful one.
Trenton district will poll about 100
votes, which will be almost unanimous
for General Cheatham.
From Mprfreesboro, Rutherford coun-
ty. under date Of 3lst ult., we have the
following from one Of the leading law
yers of that place: PLEASE send ss az
once several copies of the address Of
the Democratic Executive Committee to
the Democratic voters of Tennessee.
Those yoa seat we're received yesterday,
and | assure you that il is no exaggera.
ton when / say that OF my own personal
knowledge it has changed dozens OF
yotays from johnson TO Chestham. The
Johnson saD here have all along said
that if there wss any danger Of the cleo
ton OF Maynard that they wopld vote
for Cheatham, aud the figures gigeg in
the address show no chance whGteyer for
Mr.. johnson, and they feel unwilling to
throw ewsy their votes and elect May
nard.
From Gallatin we have tue fopoging
THE johnson men in this vicinity, as
general rule, are honest Democrats, and
so soon as they found that concentration
WAS absolutely necessary, they began to
fall into ranks. Sumner is nOV sefe for
Cheaibam / thought few days sinee
that this county would give johnson =
majority, but changes are being made,
ana I would not now be surprised If we
give General Cheatham something near
the usual Denoersiie vote in this
county"
From Springfield, Robertson county,
under date Of 3ist, we have the follow
ing: THE address OF tie Democratic
Executive Committee vas received here I
to-day, and is doing much good. The |
figures set forth in the address we're as I
tonishing to the few johnson men here,
aRd they now say that they will fall into |
line Blih the Cheatham men in order 10 |

An intelligent correspondent in Erin, /
Houston county, writing 25th, says: I've
will cast eGg votes in this county. Out
Of this number GA. Cheatham will re-
ceive about 500, and the FeGsiuiug 100
will be about equally divided between
johnson and Maynard This is as near
e correct estimate as can give with the
lights before me.
A member q The Wayne county bar,

9th, says: " In this county 6eneFal
Cheatham will receive about 700 votes, /
