PROSPECTIVE RUN.-A great II on
the Postoflice may be looked for to-
morrow when the stage arrives. We
would not care to occupy the shoes OF
Postmaster Ramsey, and his efficient
deputy, Bob Cavanaugh, about that
time. However, they are both ''light-
ming strikers" in postal matters, and
are capable of distributing a few thou
sand letters and papers as quick as any
other two men in the country. They
are, in fact, used to heavy jobs in their
line. The PoStoifice in Eureka does
more business than any office iE the
State, except, alone, that at Virginia
City.

HURRY GURDIES.-The RcrctHle of
recent date has this item: a band of
hurdles arrived here night before last
from the hurdy's paradise, Eureka,
and were corraled till this morning.
Early this morning the herder got
them together, and started on the drive
for Belmont. They came very near
being stampeded, as they are rather
wild and got scared by some of the
boys, but it is thought they will be got
through without any of them strayiny
or escaping. We congratulate our
neighbors of Belmont on this desirable
acquisition to their population, the like
of which is denied us by u hard-hearted
and tyrannical City Council.

SHERIDAN AS A pEAcE.MAKER.

General Sheridan is the man selected
TO harmonizs affairs in Louisiana. He

A late writer OF celebrity, in one OF his
works on education. most happily illus
trates the difference between youth that
has received this moral culture, and one
who unhappily has not been under the
influence of moral training; That we
may be convinced Of this truth, let us
frat enter into family where the pa.
rents are already advanced in years,
and the children without morality.
Poor father miserable mother what
sorrow does the bad education of your
children not cause you'll One repulses
you, another despises you; this one
loads you with reproaches, that one
cruelty maltreats you. Your days are
too heightened for them; yeu disgust
them, and they take care to let you
know Il. II you are rich, their eyes
and hearts are devouring your wealth,
that they may abuse it; if poor, they
will leave you in your wretchedness,
preferring to spend their earnings in
frivolous amusements or vicious pleas
ures. After your eyes are closed to
this world viii they think of you or
your soul2 Alas no Sigh will rise to
God from their hearts for you; they
have neither faith. charity nor piety.
But mark the difference in the condact

ANDREW JoHNsOH's DEMOCRACY

As we have already stated, since the
State of Tennessee bias had the shackles
Of disfranchisement taken from the
nscks Of her white men; add since that
marty which, under the name Of Demo

johnson has labored for its disruption.
When the party nominated Cheatham,
by its conversion, to oppose that bitter
aud malignant eisil rights Radical, Hor-
ace Maynard, Johnson fought with pll
the energy and ability be possesses for
It's defeat, and he succeeded. When the
same party nominated James u. Porter

AUDREY JoHNsoN's FRIENDS.

Our Nashville correspondent, Goth,
in his news letter from the capital,
which appeared in the LEDGER of Satur-
day, stated that the eight Republican
members of the Legislature, under the
lead Of Henry Gibson, were united in
support of Andrew Johnson for United
States Senator. The ten Radical Inde-
pendents on the Etheridge ticket in this
county, embracing the Pictorial candi-
dates for Senator and Representative,
who ran for election in November before
this people. unhesitatingly announced
that they we're for Andrew johnson for
this high position. His openly avowed
leading friend at Nashville, Mr.. Jesse
Clements, voted for the Radical candi-
dates for the Legislature from Davidson
county without scratch or criticism, be-
cause he knew they were for the great
renegade from all parties for the United
States Senate. These are Johnson's
sworn friends at this time in Tennessee,
and very strangely SO it is, when the
Radicals elsewhere, having trusted him
once within their party fold, recollect too
strongly the manner in which he repaid
their confidence, would not do SO again
for any consideration; and side by side
with Henry R. Gibson's Radical squad,
It is claimed that the Democratic Repre-.
ssntatives from Shelby are to take their
stand and fight for Andrew johnson, in
virtue Of the cigar-box instruction.
Here is a world to live in, indeed

MAJOR JOSEPH D. WADE.

In recent number of the Nashville
Union and American we find the name
of the gentleman which heads this para.
graph most favorably mentioned in con-
nection with the Speakership of our
State Senate. Major Wade is in every
way qualified for the position and none
can discharge its duties with more ability
and fidelity. A fine lawyer, a cultivated
gentleman. a good soldier and a true
gentleman, his selection would be
most creditable one.

indeed the truth. In point of selfish
aims, an entire disregard of all interests

him its confidence and trust, Andrew

Young Men, Refrain from Learning
Music.

DR.. Granville, whose autobiography

He gives the following advice to young
persons Of similar gifts:
at is my fixed and well considered
opinion that, 10 young man engaged in
serious pursuits, the prodigious waste Of
hours Of the night, and not unfrequently
even OF the day, which music is certain
to entail, is perhaps it's least evil, more
particularly TO one who has TO practice
learned profession. But there are other
and even more serious disadvantages to
be deprecated under the circumstances
which will occur to the minds OF most
men Of the world, dangerous alike to
both soul and body. la the course Of
sixty years on inter-social life have not
known a single individual remarkable
for musical talents ss an amateur

invitations at evening parties, receiy
ing all the pettiDg and charming &C.
cuets of the fair sex, who proved good
for anything else afterward. On my first
setting in London as a haltpay naval
surgeon, in the early part Of this CEN

the fact that, at the brilliant soirees of
