Cheatham ana johnson as office.
Seekers.

seekers.
A little "outside'' paper in West
TOnuessee reviews the career of
Gen. Cheatham as an ofIice-seeker,
and says he once ran for Mayor of
Nashville, and was then candidate
for Major General of Militia. Sub
sequent to the war he announced
himself a candidate for Clerk OF Da-
wilson County Court, but declined
before the election. He then sought
the appointment of Superintendent
of the Penitentiary and failed. He
then became, for short time, a can
didate for Governor, but declined
before the Convention met, and is
now a candidate for Congressional
t0iH be elected. That is the sum to-
tai they charge against Cheatham as
an office-seeker.
Now, let us see how the account
of Brigadier-General Andrew Jshn-
son stands. The first we hear Of
him is a candidate for Alderman of
Greenville; then for Mayor of the
same town; then for Representative
in the Legislature; then State Sena-
tor; then Representative in Con
gress, three or four times; then
Governor, twice; then United States
Senator; then Military Governor 0 f
Tennessee; then for Vice-President;
then for President; then for United
States Senator again; and now, final
ly, for Congress again.
How stands the account? Gen.
Cheatham has been a candidate for
Office half dozen times, but always
retiring rather than jeopardize the
unity of his party. Brigadier-G G en-
eral Andrew johnson, always pro-
Tossing intense loyalty to party, has
been a candidate in despite of his
professions, aud would have cOntin-
ued at the risk Of The utter disrup-
ton of his party.
He claims now that "shame"
was put upon him by his defeat for
the Senate, and he is determined
that the people shall wipe out that
"shame" at the ballot-box in No
vember, by endorsing his course
We rather think they will put ano-
ther-and a final-"shame" upon
him, by electing Frank Cheatham.

By reference to another col
umn it will be seen that the firm of
Thomas IL Gross has been changed.
The former success of the old firm
warranted the enlargement. Zelner

KY, have moved their establishment
here, and formed a copartnership un
der the name aud style of Thomas,
Gross 81 Co. Their purpose is to
keep a large stock of harness and
saddlery hardware, in connection
with all kinds and grades of leather
and shoe findings. Besides all that,
they will keep on hand . full stock
of saddles and harness for the whole
sale trade. The increased accomo-
datiOns of the firm will place them

Feet, wheuce did you come, you darling

Character.

We may judge a mans character by
what he loves-what; pleases him. If a
person manifests delight in low sordid OBJ
jects, the vulgai song and debasing Lam
guage, in the misfortunes of his fellows or
animals, we may at once determine the
complexion of his character. On the
contrary, if he loves purity, truth, nodes
ty-if 'virtuous pursuits engage his heart,
and draw out his affections-we are salts
fed that he is an upright man. When
we see young man fond of fine clothes,
and making fop of himself, it is sure
sign that he thinks the world consists of
outside show and ostentation, and he is
certain to make an unstable man, with
out true affection or friendship, fond of
change and excitement, and wearying of
those objects and pursuits, which. for a
time, give him pleasure.

The Artillery RcvoIvcs and tine
Spectators SkedaddIe.

Out In certain Western fort, some
time ago, the major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively in
fighting with the Indians by dispensing
with gun carriages and fastening the can.
non upon backs of mules. So he explain
ed his views to the commandant,. and il
was determined to try the experiment.
"A small howltzer was selected and strapped
upon an ambulance mule, with the muzzle
pointing towards the tail. When they
had secured the gun, and loaded it with
ball-cartridgs, they led that calm and
steadfast mule out to bluff and set up a
target In the middle of the river to prac-
tice at. The rear of the mule was turned
toward the target, and he was backed gent
ly up to the edge of the bluff.
The officers stood around in a semicircle,
while the major went up and inserted a
tlme-fuse IN the touch hole of the howitzer.
When the fuse was ready the major lit it
and retired. In a minute or two the
hitherto unruffled mule heard the fixing
back there on his neck, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around to
ascertain what was going on, and as be
did so Ills body turned and the howitzer
began to sweep around the horizon. The
mule at last became excited, and his Gu
rIoslty grew more and more intense, ard
IN second or two he was standing with
his four legs in bunch making six reyolu-
tions minute and the howitzcr under
stand, threatening sudden death to every
man within half mile. The command
ant was observed to climb suddenly up a
tree; the heutenants were seen sliding
over the bluff into the river, as if they
didn't care at all about the high price of
uniforms; the adjutant made good time
towards the fort; the sergeant began to
throw of breast-works with his bayonet,
and the major rolled over the ground and
groaned. In two or three minutes there
was a puff of smoke, dull thud, and the
mule-oh where was he? A solitary
jackess might have been turning success
sive back-someraults over the bluff, only
to rest at anchor, finally with his howitzer
at the bottom of the river; while the ball
went off towards the fort, hit the chimney
in tue majors quarters, ratified the adobe
bricks down into the parlor, and frighten-
ed the majors wife into convulsions. They
do not allude to it now, and no re.
port of the results of the experiment was
ever sent to the war Department.-Mdr
