THE Military Ring" is after Andy, as
appears from the following letter from a
Rogersyille correspondent to the Memphis
AUdtdnche concerning the Gubernatorial
debate as follows:
The first thirty minutes of Governor
Browns speech, however, We're badly put
in. They were exclusively a covert at
tack upon ex-President Johnson, which
he might, for his own good, have left of,
but it was gratifying, indeed, to the bitter
and proscriptive Cheatham men of our
county. Governor Brown did ex-Presi-
dent johnson no harm, bat himself no
good. l heard several of the most sub
stantial Conservative men of the county
proclaim that they would not vote for him
for the simple reasen that they considered
his attack unwarranted, out of time and
out of the line of duty, AS candidate of
our party for Governor.

mating ex-Mayor VIM. Havemyer for cleo

oils gives the State of New York to Gen
Grant beyond all question. This nomina-
ton unites all friends of reform upon the
Republican candidate. Every refom or
ganization has endorsed the nominee. The
Germans will unite upon him to man.
The Staots Zeitat,,9 supports him and bets
are now offered that Gen. Grant will carry
even New York city. Why not make this
overwhelming victory unanimous by
wheeling Tennessee into line? Why fl ght
over Johnson and Chatham, neither of
whom can ever do the State a particle of
good. Why send (?) Caldwell to Washing
ton when Thornburgh could do us such
great service?

THE election of Thornburgh would do
more to insure better legislation in Ten
nesse in the future than any one vote the
people could cast. We have never heard
an honest democrat defend the Legislature
for mapping out this District $50 miles
long, stretching from North Carolina to
Kentucky. The East Tennessee counties
of the district are mining and manufacture
ing counties. They are attached to Middle
Tennessee, that has no such interests to
encourage. Their votes will, therefore, be
directly opposed to ours. Now, let all men
who oppose bitter partisan, spiteful legisla-
ton vote for Thornburgh, and thereby
give singing rebuke to the narrow
minded souls who enacted that law. If
they do we will have no more such
gerrymandering in Tennessee.

FROM the reports we get from the joint
canvass between Garrett, (?) Caldwell, and
Col. j. NJ. Thornburgh, the champion of
the Knoxville workingmen, the latter
have good reason TO be proud of their
standard-bearer. Thornburgh, by his able,
dignified, and eloquent appeals to the peo-
pie, is making friends everywhere. The
sensible voters of this Congressional dis
trct see that he is the only man that can
do them any service ut Washington, and
they will therefore vote for him without
reference to party. Workingmen every
where are voting for men in sympathy
with their interests.

by II most shameful disregard of
the interests and wishes of the

splendid opportunity is afforded them, the
respectable people of his old district will
rebuke the Legislature andparty that were

their mistake on election day. We do not
believe Republicans will throw away their

showing their contempt for partisans

because, having less carbonic acid and fewer
OF those deleterious gases from dying vegets-
ton, and also more oxygen, it is refreshing
and vitalizing. The dryness of the autumn in
the Eastern United States, dreaded as it is by
the farmer, is in reality. in medical point of
view, to be greatly preferred to the humidity
of other countries situated geographically as
we are. In China the moisture spread over tho
country by the summer monsoons is tho
medium of the great epidemic diseases and the
cause of the utter prostration if not the periodic
poisoning by malaria Of the great mass Of the
population, so that such cities as Shanghai
are now vast hospitals. The wet winds cover
the country with dense mantle Of aqueous
vapor, transpicuous to solar rays, but acting
as q shield to prevent the earths radiation OF
its heat. Especial care should be taken. there

ing hot moist days. On the desert of Sahara.

tons, as far removed from the water as pos

heat or rather avoiding the maximum heat.
between two and four o'clock P. NJ, the great
dangers from the hot weather of the season
may be largely eluded and the alarm of epi-

now learned to test the character of disease

the delicate thermometer, whose bulb.

predict, as it now almost infallibly does, the
coming storm, the character of seasons and
the daily vicissitudes of wind and weather, but
also to explore those hidden phenomena with
which the health and vitality of nations are SO
deeply concerned, and with an intelligent re-
gard to which all medical skill and sanitary
science should in future be prosecuted. If our

Health.
We have great cause for JOY in the recent
turn which the hot season has taken. The sun
is on his southern march, and the climax of
the heat and distress consequent upon the out
pour of his most vertical rays has evidently
been reached and passed. The lengthening of
the nights by nearly an hour gives the super
heated crust of the earth time to get rid of
much of its caloric by nocturnal radiation, and
this secures cool nights for the refreshment of
weary man and beast
For several days the Signal Service reports
show that, with short intermission, the cold
waves of dir from British America and the
Arctic regions lying northward have been
descending with their delicious temperature
over the entire lake region and thence proga-
gated southwark over the Alleghanies and
eastward over the Atlantic seaboard If the
threatened visitation of epidemic cholera
should not be averted, and the dread disease
knock at our gates for admission, the endan-
gered inhabitants Of our large cities will have
one advantage, that they are now beyond the
worst and most dire distress Of the summer;
and, with constitutions somewhat braced and
strengthened by returning cool weather, they
may well be encouraged After the terrific
cold spell of last March the HERALD advanced
the hypothesis which was sustained by the
weather reports, that this intense refrigeration
came to us from the northern part of our Con-
tinent We now see that what was then
curse is now our greatest blessing, for it is
this immense reservoir of polar air, which,
after mitigation by summer heat, desccnds on
the region stretching from Lake Superior to
the coasts of Oregon and Washington Terri
tory and now makes the intervening Terri
tories of the Northwest the plateaus of greatest
salubrity and health and the broadcast asylums
from the severity and diseases of the summer
season.
1t is, of course, q certainty that we shall have
much to endure from the heats and droughts
of the fall and the month of August, and every
effort should be made to meet them by our
sanitary authorities but it is highly probable,
if it is not geographical certainty also, that
with the storms of the remainder of the sum-
mer we shall have the cool, northwesterly
winds from the higher attitudes OF the CONT
nent, which ever follow in the wake OF oil the
tempests and rain areas in the northern hemi-
sphere The biological character of this semi
polar air ia Ear better than the coolest and

IMPORTANT News FROM MEXICO. Special
information addressed to the HERALD from
Mexico last night by telegraph reports the i'm
portant news of the death of President Juarez
after an attack of apoplexy, and the accession
of Lerdo de Tejada to the administration of
power as Chief of State in the republic. The
intelligence comes first from Matamoros,
and is repeated from Monterey. The &C.
currence of this sad event may change
the aspect of affairs in Mexico, as it
presents to-day completely. The general news
goes to confirm in all its main points the
HERALD special. dispatches from Mat,moros,
already published. The constitutional cause is
evidently improving, on the frontier line par
ticularly. tits said that Generals Trevifio and
Quiroga contemplate leaving the country
after disbanding their followers. The very
talk of such step on their part goes to prove
the accuracy of our inference that revolution
is almost played out, as a trade in the terri
tory ofour neighbcr republic. The biographical
sketch of Juarez which appears in the HERALD
is very interesting, even in historical point
of view Lcrdo de Tejada succeeds according
to constitutional provision and rule
