WE quoted, recently, some remarks
alleged by the Kingston East Tennes-
see) Independent to have been made at
that place by Capt. G. Marchbanks,
the Democratic candidate for Senator
from the Fifth Senatorial District, in
which hewas represented as having 'op-
posed the funding act, ridiculed the
Assessment law and condemned the
public printing as Il stupendous SWIM
die" At the time Of calling attention
to the matter, we expressed the eonvic-
ton that Mr.. Marchbanks had not used
such language, and that the Iladepea-
dent reporter could not have understood
him right. Mr.. Marchbanks now writes
us, fully setting forth what he did say
on theoccasion in question. His letter
which is printed in another column,
shows how manfully be is battling for
the triumph of the Democratic cause
in the approaching election, and
breathes a patriotic spirit, which is,
of itself, assurance of success.

The Mark Lane Express says: With less
rain az a colder temperature, the weather
here and on the continent has been favor
able for potatoes, sowing, and all kinds Of
held work. In France the potatoes are
abundant and free from disease. The ten
dency Of the wheat market here Is rather
upward. In some cases there has been an
advance of a shilling. The mar
kets of France and Belgium have
slowly followed those Of Great Brit
ain. The sales in England during the
week show a diminution Of 10000 quarters
which makes evident the reluctance Of
growers to accept the present rates.
Freights in hungary are declining though
they are yet too high TO admit Of the ship
ment Of wheat 70 England. Southern
Russia is beginning, however, to ship, des-
pairing of doing better for some time to
come, and supplies are rapidly increasing.
II is thought that cold weather will soon
interfere with shipments from America by
closing rivers and canals, when some inn
proyement in prices is expected.
