GuMRS, DOGS.

Gumbs, who lives next door to us, has
bought a new dog. he needed new one.
His last dog used to bark all night in
the yard until, in frantic desperation, we
would shy our boots and cologne bottles
and furniture at him. But he always
went on worse; and in the morning Gumbs
would come calmly out and gather up those
missiles and carry them into the house
He has more than twenty pairs of our
boots and slippers in his possession, be-
sides chair legs, and cakes of soap, and
hair brushes, match safes, and towel racks.
And he never had the manliness to offer TO
give them back. Onthe contrary, he trained
that dog to sit by the front gate and to
seize us by the leg when we came out,
three or four times a week, apparently for
the purpose of securing some more Boots.
But we poisoned him one night, and the
next morning Gumbs threw the carcass
Gumbs returned it. We both staid at
home that day, and spent the tue in hand
ing the dog to one another over the fence.
Then we hired an Irishman to stand there
night and day to return the deceased to
Gumbs' yard. Then Gumbs also hired an
Irishman. 1t was exhilarating work. Tle
corpse rapidly trayersed that fence six Or
seven thousands times every twenty -four
hours. He must have become familiar
with the route, even If he was dead. at
last he wore away With so much handling,
aud on the last day the Irisbman whiled
the hours by flinging only the tail at each
other. Our Irishman at last buried the
tail and resigned. And now Gumbs has
got new dog. It will be excessively sin
gular if we do not fish for that dog some
eveEing. soon with a goldfish line and
piece Of beef, and run him up all OF sud
den to our window, and launch him into
the sewer. No dog owned by man nam
ed Gumbs shall exult over us.

CARROLL COUNTY.
Democratic COnVentiOu-Cheath
Baker-COuItOn-CO Elections.


Correspondence of the Union and American.
HUNTINGDON, TENN, Aug. 6, 1S72-
Yesterday the Democrats held convention
here, and elected delegates to attend the
convention to be held in Nashville on the
2lst inst. A resolution faVoring the nomi-
nation of Gen. Cheatham as our candidate
for Congressman from the State at large,
was offered by DR.. Wright, and passed al
most unanimously.
Baker then announced himself a candi-
date for the position Of Elector for this dis
trict, on the Greeley ticket, after which
Ben. F. Smoot offered a resolution instruct
ing our delegates to the Nashville Conven-
ton to support Baker for the position of
Elector, provided the Nashville Convention
should fill the blanks in the electoral ticket.
The vote on this resolution was very slen-
der, four votes being given for it, and three
against it. The people were not ready for
it, the understanding having prevailed that
the convention for the 2lst inst. was to have
nothing to do with the matter of selecting
Electors. My impression is that if the
convention here had understood that the
Nashville convention was to select our
Elector, Baker would not have received
even the above quasi recommendation. He
is not the choice of the Democracy of Car
roll county for Elector.
Col. Jas. NJ. Coulter, candidate for Sem
ator, then made very fine speech.
Though a stranger comparatively in our
county, Col Coulter made a very fine i'm
preston.
Your readers have already been inform
ed, by telegraph, of the late election of the
Radical candidates here for Sheriff and
County Judge. This result, so much de-
plored by the DemocI ats, was not because
of the superior numbers of the Radicals in
the county; but because of unfortunate di-
visions in the Democratic ranks. United,
the Democracy can outvote Radicalism
here by three or tour hundred votes. In
our late election nearly every Radical in the
county voted, while at least five hundred
Democrats remained at home. In the next
election the chimney corner Democracy
will shake off their Indifference and rally TO
the call of their country.
Local on dts are too scarce to mention.

hopelessly from power with Buchanan.
Then be as promptly adhered to the Re

startling phenomenon in Florida. A
large portion of Orange county is
changed to lake. and trees, houses

many witnesses of the phenomenon,
one of whom said that the first thing
that attracted his attention was the
trees moving. First there was O gi-
ratory motion of the trees, some
sinking gradually out of sight, the
tops revolving more and more rapid
ly as they sank and disappeared, the
others following, and as they fell, re-

against the sky. Then the earth as
