Numerous items like the foregoing ap>

public money than to any superiority Of

of $40, 900 to the Quincy, Missouri ard
Pacific railroad Tie town Of Maryville
voted a subscription of $4,000 and the

That is the way they build rail
roads in the North. That is what

The last census shows that Railroads
add ten dollars per acre to the value of

Speaking Of Col w l.. Duff, the
Appeal of last Sunday says;
Und>r the app:opriate beading, the
name of this gentleman will be found this
morning, announced as a candidate for
Congress. Col Duff has recently cam
Vassed the district, and we understand
has made lormable impression among
the people. Judging from the Falcon
he was most cordially received at SUmer~
vile few days since, where be made a
speech which is highly plimented
In q recent interview with Colonel Duff,
we are gratifed by his concurrence in our
views of the political situation If Mons
mated as the Democratic candidate for
Congress, he will lift high the banner of
his party in its crusade for the rescue Of
the deserted pie Of our political faith.
Col. Duff seems to have caught the lofty
spirit of self sacrifice necessary to sues
cess in Presidential election, and is ready
to immediate all minor differences, person
al passions, and old party prejudicus, on
the alter of our common country. Col
Duff would obliterate the past and strike
hands with patriots of all parties and sec

the peace and prosperity, glory and hon
or Of the Republic. lie most cor liolly

the road to victory and the dclveranc7
OF the Southern people. Gel Dun Is
sanguiue as to the success OF the new
movement; believes that if the republic
Is to continue to exist there must be Il
union of all honest men to crush the
present administration WITH all It's dis
honesty; that the Cincinnati platform
with an honest Stateman like Horace
Greeley to carry 1t out, Will do all this
and therefore the Democrats, II they love
their country, must sustain it. / Toe
government is to last, corruption in high
places must be wip u out, and none but
good honest men placed in Office that the
American people had full confidence in
the honesty and integrity of the Cincin-

pIrant tor the nomination, We have but
little to add to what have already said Of
him. On the great questions of the day
he is eminently sound, and has the abil-

integrity, public and private, reigns IN
his heart. He is wholly above intrigue

mind 0fColonel Duffis clear and vigorous.
He is a cultivated, accom- plished, ednsated
gentleman; has n personnel of the finest
and most perfect mould, and being a
warm, pleasant friend and companion,
and Z assessing very agreeable conEsEsa>
tIonal powers, he may be considered as
one of the foremost young men of West
Tennessee.
The Memphis Evening Ledge. says
Colonel Duff is deserVely popular IN
this city, being q representative man
one who in the late "unplcasantness"
passed through the irerY ordeal " til dis
tinguished courage and military ability
Having been a soldier he can, without
difficulty, take a broad, comprehensive
sweep of political affairs far removed
from the narrow, pr9udiced views of
those whose war record commenced at
the close Of the campaign. Being sound
to the core on the vital questions Of the
day, his public and private integrity,
coupled with his polite and engaging
manners, would make him a popular
Congressman-one who would faithfully
and earnestly represent the Ninth Dis
trict. 1t is a pleasure to announce COX
onel Duff as q candidate, he being a
young mani cf that class to which the
destinles Of the country in the future
must be Ommitted when the seepter
shall have passed away from the hands
of those of more maGured years. The
young men of Tennessee are rapidly
coming to the front, and this should be
considered as the dawn of a political mills

to the country. Among the rising young
men of West Tennessee, none are more
