WHAT THEY SAY.

OUT COTI6SpOuuOASO SAiACO O0A 49," $500
has been SO YoIuminous that we are COM
PEELED to confine ourselves to the following
very short extracts from the number of
letters received:
A correspondent at Murfreesboro, Ruth-
erford county, says, Gan is well here now.
You can put Rutherford county down with
a good majority for Cheatham. have
never seen anything equal to the enthusi-
asm for the gallant old hero"
/ From Lebanon, Wilson county, we learn
the following: "When l wrote you last |
stated that l thought the vote in this coun-
ty would be very close between Cheatham
and Johnson. Since that time there has
been perfect revolution in the county, and
you can put the county down as good for
500 majority for Cheatham."
From Jackson, Madison county, we have
the following: ga few days since Mr. john
son had supporters in this county, but as
the election day draws near they are leav-
ing him by the dozens. do not now be-
lleve he will receive 400 votes in the couD-
ty. Put Madison down at 1900 majority
for Chestham."
A Springfield, Robertson county, CORE
spondelt says: "There are no johnson men
here now. l have never seen such change
as has taken place. Old Robertson will be
the banner county on Tuesday next, and
will roll up at least 1900 majority for old
Frank"
We have received the following from
Gibson county: ave are united on all the
regular candidates and will poll larger
majority for Chatham than any other
county in West Tennessee. Mark Gibson
county down at $500 majority and not a
vote less. Our Congressional race is
doubtful, though Caldwell will get the vote
in this county"
From Stewart county a friend writes:
"When Mr.. johnson represented the Dem.
ocratic party in 1855, this county gave him
about 1900 votes. He now promises to
break up the organization for which he
then Iabored, and we will give him about
so votes and Gen. Cheatham about
1900"
From Lincoln county. "Cheathsm's ma
jority here will be about 1900 over Mr..
johnson. In fact it is now very unusual
thing to find voter here who says that he
will vote for johnson"
From Rhea county a correspondent says:
81 wrote you some days since that Ar,
johnson would receive % votes in this
county, but am noH satisfied that he viii
not receive that number. We viii give
Gen. Cheatham a larger vote in Rhea than
any county in the State in propotion to
cur voting population"
From Lawrence county: "LaWrence
county is unit for the regular nominees.
We have no disorganizers here, and are
making a straighout fight with the Radicals.
How any Democrat can vote against the
regular candidates of the party in these
times that try mems souls, is mystery to
u.s."
From Brownsville, Sullivan county: "This
is the banner Democratic county Of East
Tennessee, and will give Gen. Cheatham
at least l, 900 over all opposition. We Dor
der on Virginia, and will show our ancient
mother that we are 10 straggleIs. If Mid
die and West Tennessee will stand up to
US, We will on Tuesday next kill off all 'n-
Dependents"
From Putnam county: "Mr. 10 lnson
made a charge on our solid column few
days since but was repulsed with the loss
of his voice without gaining q single vote.
The Democracy of Putnam is nearly solid
for Cheatham and all the other regular
candidates. When you receive the vote Of
this county you will find that am cor
rect
From Chattanooga, Hamilton county, 5
friend writes: "Tbe column is closing mp.
must confess that we have had some
stragglers up to within the list few days
but they have pretty nearly all rejoined
their commands and will move IN solid line
on the Radical works next Tuesday"
