The canvass for congress In this dis
trict is nearing to a close. Colonel
Young and Judge Lewis for two weeks
have been engaged in joint discussion.
We hear the most favorable accounts rs
to Colonel YouBg's success. As Judge
Lewis has no paper in this district to
represent his interest, we will do him
the justice to say he is making vigor-
Gus canvass, and has given entire salts
faction to his friends. He is no doubt
the sbiest champion of his party in this
district. and his defeat on the fifth Day
OF November will forever terminate the
existence Of the Radical party in West
Tenness see. The debate between Colonel
Young and Judge Lewis is represented
as dienified, and characterized by a
heightened courtesy. The press every
where are encouraging joint discussions,
and the avoidance of personalities.
This kind OF discussion no longer de
figures disputations between editors,
aud IN a few years the style Of ex-
changing epithets and slang
whsneing on the stump will be
considered disreputsble and democrat
izing. No better way to conduct q cam
paign has ever been devised than join
discussion, and we are gratified to know
that both Colonel Young and Judge
Lewis in their debates recognize the
prophecies Of the occasion, and that, in
spirit and temper, they acquit them
selves worthily. 1t is only by these dis
cussions that truth can be elected aud
the people enlightened. The especial
hindrance to truth and intellectual pro-
gress is the One-sidedness which prevails
ia consideration Of the topics Of the
times. Men are guided in their inqui-
ries by prejudice, and advantage is ia
ken Of this fact to present distorted
views. Fairness is one Of the Iarest OF
virtues. Prejudice often passes for zeal,
perversion Of ideas and facts for the adj
vocaey of 3 cause. II every advocate

the same Audience he would be put upon

Every officer OF that court-martial felt
the force OF the prisoners words. Before

quent pleader for husbands and
fathers wrongs; but they had been
trained by their great leader, Robert i.
Lee, to tread the path of duty, though
the lightning's flash scorched the
ground beneath their feet, and each in
his turn pronounced the verdict-guilty.
Fortunately for humanity, fortunately

Dor, when shot and shell were falling
like torrents from the mountain
cloud,n my attention was directed to
the fact that one of our batteries was
being silenced by the concentrated fire
of the enemy. When / reached the
battery every gun but one had been dis
mantled, and by it stood a solitary Con-
federate soldier, with the blood stream
ing from his side. As he recognized me
he elevated his voice above the roar Of
battle and said; General, / have one
shell left. Tell me, bave I saved the
honor of Mary and LucyT l raised

went crashing through the ranks of the
enemy, and the hero sank by his gun to
