PORTER'S PISTOL PRACTICE
ELUCIDATED.
country.

From a special to the Tribune of
yesterday, we are pleased to learn
that Gov. Porter, or his friends for
him, feel the necessity of some ex-
planation of his conduct in attempt
jag to draw pistol on Col. Thomas
at Shelbyville. We should regret
very much to believe that the people
of Tennessee would look with any
degree of allowance on q man who
fills the high office of Governor and
aspires to reelection, who would
make such a disgraceful public ex-
hibitiOn of himself as to draw a pis-
toll with which to enforce his argu-
ments. We shall rejoice to know
that the Governor has been misrepre-
ated, and will embrace the very ear
Vt opportunity to set him right when
khink we cane truthfully, for his
lace is to a certain extent the
disgrace of the State. We sincerely
trust that some better explanation
will be given than that foreshadowed
by an editorial paragraph in yester-
days Tribune, which says:
1.-The charge that Gov. Porter is travelling
armed through the State in this canvass is
not true. We learn from a source altos
gether reliable that Gov. Porter was in
formed at Shelbyville, the other day, before
the difficulty occurred between himself and
Mr.. Thomas, that the latter gentleman had
expressed his intention to denounce him at
that appointment, despite any trouble
which such denunciation might provoke.
In view of this fact, Gov. Porter was furn-
ished by friends with the weapon of defense
in regard to which so much has been said.
The Governor expected to be assaulted
from what he had heard, and the attempt
was made"
This is entirely too thin. 1t will
require something more than this to
justify the undignifed and highly
improper demonstrations with which
our Governor has been credited on
the occasion referred to.

The American Cyclopadia.

Within the last ten years the progress OF
discovery in ev ry department of knowl-
edge has made a new work of reference an
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar mo-
ment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last vol
ume of the old work appeared, has happily
been ended, and new course of CONNER
cial and industrial activity has been com
menced. Large accessions to our

The great political revolutions of the last
decade, with the natural result of the lapse
of time, have brought into public view 8
multitude of new men, whose names are in
every ones mouth, and of whose lives
every one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and import
ant sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only in the newspa-

tits surprising how few books have
been written on the diseases incident
to old age. We know of no work that
| would be more generally read by the
| medico-legal world, or in fact by all
classes, than a "Treatise on the medi-
cal management of old age" written
in plain style and free from all tech
nicalities, nor do we know of any
medicine that is more happily adapted
to the alleviating of the pains and
aches of the aged than DR.. TUFTS Liv>
er Pills. While they act promptly
they do not wrench the system or
shock the most enfeebled constitution.
In cases of govt, rheumatism, kidney
disease, torpid bowels, indigestion,
loss of appetite, their healing proper
ties are truly wonderful. Their effect
on the nervous system is prompt,

freshing sleep and vigor to the whole
system. The old and young will be
alike benefited by the use of this
truly estimable medicine.

weakness which l experienced at the

way for seven years, and then placed my
self in the hands of eminent physicians.
They treated me with mercury and many
other strong remedies, but | grew worse
instead of better.
In the spring of 1857, there appeared
upon my back and side two large absces-
ses, and at this time was also suffering
from very bad fistula; my whole sys-
tenn became utterly prostrated, when
was advised to try the PERUVIAN SYRUP.

perlcnced great relief. / have taken
three bottles of it and every trace Of my
former complaints have left me. My sys-
tenn has regained its strength, my appe-

truly say that / was never able to dc
more work, and with greater ease to my
self, than at this time. Yours respect
