THE "new departure" Of the Ohio dsr-
kies, denying that they "belong" to the
r sdicL party, and arraigning their political
brethren on charge Of false pretences in
regard 10 q certain plank of the Philadelphia
platform, is meeting many responsive echoes
among the class addressed. The Maryville
Republican, published by an East Tennes-
seean of color, copying from Fred Doug
lass Neoo Era, the Harrisburg (Pa.) Nation
al Progress, and the New Jersey Republi-
can, remarks: s- r
"From the foregoing extracts, i. appears
that our new departure q few years ago,
which called forth the condefnnati n of
these same colcred newspapers, is sustained
and endorsed. The only difference is that
we came out about five years sooner than
these journals. viii the little oDe-horse
politicians who denouncs US as Rebels

can newspapers with having sold out?

LAND VALUES I'm MIDDLE AND
WEST TENNESSEE

The reader will find an instructive a, tiele
in this paper, copied from the Memphis Ap-
peal, comparing from official returns The
value of farms in four counties in Middle
Tennessee and their products with the
same in four counties in West Tennessee.
1t will be seen that while tie Western
counties raise more value of crops hs $780,
$50 8 year than is grown in the middle
coun les, their farms are not worth half as
much per acre. The writer explains very
satisfactorily WY tbs is so. The western
farmer raises a great deal Of cotton and
sells most Of it to meet annual expenses on
tue plant Stior, and therefore his net in
come is really very sm'll, while his
land is losing in fertility and value.
In Middle Tennessee the farmer raises more
clever, timothy, herd, grass and blue grass,
corn, wheat, mules and horses, and lives far
more within bis own resources; and while
he sells less farm produce in a year, he
makes twice as much money, and by clover,
grass, stock, manure and less blowing, be
improves bis landed estate. Henc, i'm
proved lands worth S13,312,97l in four
counties in West Tennessee are worth $780,
100. 72S in MEdle Tennessee. The problem
is. not how much cotton. wheat or corn one
can grow or sell from 1U0 or 1000 acres Of
land, but how much clear profit one can re-
slize and improve the property from one ten
years to the next2

FROM the tone of the Atlanta papers it
would seem that the personal affair" be-
tween Gov. Smith and Hon. Herschel v.
johnson, supposed to have been 'tamicably
adjusted" month ago, has broken out
afresh. Gov. Smith, through the Atlanta
Herald, says, in effect that matters have
come to head; that henceforth the oontro-
versy will be withdrawn from the arena of
the newspapers; that he will in good time
disprove the last allegations of Mr.. John-
con. Aud upon this the Herald (the edi-
tors Of which are upon intimate terms with
Gov. Smith, significantly remarks that
man like Hon. Herschel V. johnson must
be GnS1oered. As it now stands, we should
not be surprised If the affair would culmi-
nate in something more serious than the
spilling of ink.

language in the Memphis Register

We ind the relieving plain and sensible
language in the Memphis Register
hFte quid r,ncs are already agitating the
| question as TO who is to, be the next Gov
error elect of Tennessee, and in this con-
neetion the plans suggested for beating the
Radicals are various. Tous there appears
but one, way to defeat them, and it is the
onl way, not only In Tennessee, but ia alb
the States, Letthe Democratic party meet
in convention, nominate good men for
ofac,, unfuri the CID banner to the breeze,
and make a square fight on principle.
Avoid fusions aud coalitions, bargains and
intrigues, and let every man rally under
that banner who desires the defeat of Rad
icslisrn and the downfall of the doctrine of
consolidation. The Democracy has clear
majority in Tennessee of forty thousand
votes, and it will be objectionable folly for
us to listen to fusion and other propositions
which can but demoraliza both the rank
and file Of our frees. The new departure,
fusion and coalition ideas in politics, are
tricks of the enemy, to weaken our line. If
there ever was atimc when the opponents
of Radicalis1a in Tennessee should march
to the polls, sho ldef to shoulder, in solid
phslsr <, and deposit their ballots, 1t is in
the next State elections. Listen not to the
proposition of charging the name of the
party; it is one Of the tricks Of the enemy to
divide US. When 1t is known thatt cor
test for. the supremacy is between the
Radical party on the one hand and
the Democratic party on the other, there
is no dou t bat every trus conservative
voter in the State will east his ballot with
US. The people of this State can't afford 10
let the Radical party obtain the supremacy
even for one term, for they can bankrupt
the State and put such man as Maynard
in the Senate of the United States, or elect
Parson Brownlow.f 1t Is no time to chafe
and dispute about party names. We find
but two party organizations in the 5 ate
the Democratic and The Rsdical--aad it
will, in our opinion, be unwise to change
or modify names. A good general never
undertakes TO maneuver his army in the
face OF the enemy's broadsdes; but, on
the contrary, gives the order to forward
first, and hen charge in solid
line in the next fi2ht, or be
routed as we were ia the Cheathsm-J John
SON Maynard fight. Let the Radicals and
their allies call us by what mama they may
choose-Bourbon, fogy, or what not
while we are conscious of standing upon q
platform of principles which are in keeping
with the doctrines and spirit of the consti-
tuition which cur fyrefathers made, We can
afford TO look either to the right nor the
left In our onward march to victory. II to
be Bourbon means to be in opposition to
consolidation and corruption, to the inter
ferencs by tbe Federal government in the
internal affairs Of the States, as in Louis
iaua, to tiis-Mobilier and back .pay-salary
we can glory in acknowledging the correct
ness Of the sppellatioD."
