WARTRAcE, TENN, Oct. 26.-The trains
loaded down with men, boys and negroes,
enroute for the johnson rally, hurrahed
vigorously for Cheatham. Fully three
fourths OF the voters were for Cheatham.
Only one man, from Murfeesboro, had
cheek enough to sing out johnson as
they passed Florence, and he sung "May-
nard" oftener than be did "Johnson." The
train left here with about five hundred,
two hundred Of whom were boys, the bal
ance about equally divided except the
Maynard men who are in danger of con-
sumption from their passionate fondness
for their present pet, Andy. They would
deceive the very elect il possible. Watch
them. Count Bedford safe for the fearless
Chestham and the unity Of our party.
This rally has demonstrated more votes for
the nominee than we had hoped to get.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Ths Liberal and
Democratic managers are in daily receipt
Of encouraging letters from all the South
ern States, except South Carolina, while
New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Connec-
ticut and New Hampshire are claimed for
Greeley with confidence. From Ohio as
surances multiply that the contest there is
close and doubtful
1t is admitted here BY Democratic lead
ers that Greeley's chances depend on the
action OF the old Democratic party, and
that If it polls its full. strength he will be
elected. They are satisfied with the num-
bers and frmness Of the Liberal Repub-

Governor BE ndricks writes from Indiana
that Greeley will surely carry that State.
Hon. j. Z. FIcDonald, of Indiana, expires
sss the saw g opinion, and also that Ohiois
by no means sure for Grant. The Admin
istration party, with Simon Cameron's as
slaarlce, are at work corrupting voters Of
New Jersey, but two canvasses made by
Lioe rails and Democrats give Greeley over
sig thousand majority.
The activity of Grant greenbacks at pres
ent seems to be confined to New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, North Carolina and New
York city. Victory on that side IL consid-
cred so certain that all comprehensive work
has been stopped.
