MEMPHIS, Sept. 8, 1ST4.-HOn. ii. Cacey
Young, Ofthis city, was nominated yes
terday for Congress in this district, against
Barbour Lewis, Radical. Young will be
elected by five or six thousand majority.
There will be harmony in the convention
next Tuesday, which meets to nominate
legislative candidates. The Senatorial
Conventionwill not be permitted to dis
turb the deliberations Of the convention.
All the candidates will doubtless agree to
support any good and able man that the
Democratic members OF the Legislature
NAV select. This is the only way in
which we can secure harmony.
Gov. Brown is here on State business
and will remain a very short time. The
negro agitafOr, Ed Shaw, said 1.-THE Radical
Convention in this city yesterday that ''the
people Of the United States would never
rest, until John C. Brown was hung as
high as Haman.r Such speeches as this
produce the mOhs which occur in the
State, and the inStigatOrs Of them are the
real authors Of all the blood shed in the
land.
Rain is very much needed i'm West Ten
nessee, to enable the farmers to SOW grain
for winter pastures, which they are very
much disposed to DO.
The extreme drought and very short
crops will cause people to be verJ ecOnOmi-
cal and careful III saving what they have
male. A very dry year is generally sue
ceeded by abundant crops the next year.
The grain that will be planted this fall will
afford great relief not only this winter, but
next spring and summer.
There is entire harmony in the Demo
cratic party in West Tennessee, and If. POr-
ter should have any opposition, his majOri-
ty cannot be less than 10000. Let us get
a good Legislature, and all will be well.
Your county has set an example that should
be followed over the State i'm selecting first

MEMPHIS, Sept. 10.-Douglas JamisOn,
one of the negroes taken from the Jail at
Trenton by the mob, is here in Jail in
charge Of the marshal, who refuses 10 allow
him to communicate anything, but it is be-
lieyed that from discoveries made by him,
the arrests mentioned in the following
special to the Ardldnche from Humboldt
tonight were made. The dispatch SAYS:
Lieut.. WhitAall, with a squad of United
States soldiers from the barracks here, pro-
ceeded to Pickettsville last night under
instructions from Deputy United States
Marshal Tarbolt, and arrested five men for
completely in the Trenton affair. They
were brought here to-day and put under
guard at the barracks. Two of the parties
for whom warrants had been issued, came
in the city today and gave themselves up,
making seven now under arrest They will
be taken to Memphis u~der guard tonight.
Efforts were made TO take the same parties
under writ of habeas corpus, but the Cir
cult Judge claimed to have no jurisdiction.
Ii is said warrants are out for at least 100
men on suspicion, but this is only Tumor.
The grand jury is now in session at
Trenton. and from the number of persons
summoned before them, il is presumed
they are determined to ferret out the par
ties.
The AppeGrs Mckenzie special says the
names Of the parties arrested are joseph
Hale, two MorganS, c. Fly, Spencer e.
bridge and Ferd Hudson. The others are
not known. Ten of the negroes taken
from the Jail are said to have escaped. 1t
is thought here that the men arrested are
innocent.

OUR dispatches this morning men,
ton the arrest by the United States
authorities of five persons near Pick
ettsville, in Gibson county, charged
with being implicated in the Trenton
outrage. Two others, learning that
warrants were out for their arrest,
came in andgave themselves up. These
parties were to have been taken to
Memphis last night. 1t thus appears
that the Federal officials have deter
mined to proceed in the matter with
out regard to our State authorities, al
though the latter are using every pos
sible exertiOn to ferret out and bring
the guilty parties to trial.

A Terrible Hurricane at Sea-EearfuI
Experience OF the Willie de Paris.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The steamship
Vile de Paris, which arrived yesterday
from Brest, encountered a terrible hurri-
cane on the voyage, during which the cap
tain's large house on deck was washed over
board, and the place where ii had stood left
as though swept by a broom. The port
side of the bridge was ground TO pieces;
two immense iron daFitS were twisted
almost in two; the life boat was washed
overheard and hung from the stern.
The davitS beat against the side of
the ship until Officers Pleck and
Lefranc sprang into the sea and cut it
adrift. Solid leak ratings were torn in
two, and heavy brass and iron stanchions
twisted in all sorts Of shapes. A sailor
named Glafruy was washed overheard and
lost. Capt. Daur', who was standing on
the bridge was hurled by the waves against
the boat. vi, ch alone prevented him from
Going overheard. He was al first supposed
10 have been fatally injured, but is slowly
recovering. The second Captain, Lefranc,
had his left arm broken, and several of the
sailors were severely injured.
