The following letter, to friend In this
city, ia from Mr.. PaIke God win, known
90 long and so well as the editor of the
New York Evening Post. Tais letter,
IS will be seen, was written some time
before the meetings OF either the Repub-
Gcan on Democratic conventions:
s'tMAY 7, 1876.
"As for politics, would like to see
the Republicans nominate BristoW, but
my preferences are most decidedly for
Filden. / have known him all my life,
and l know him to be honest to the core
siugularly conscientious in all he does,
of grest disinterestedness, and, as a
statesman, head and shoulders before
any man now prominent. He is the
most profund, sound and clear in his 60,
liticsl economy OF any man l know
completely grounded in principles, sure
of his every step, extremely judicious,
and without conceits, prejudices or weak
nesses. II be were President at this
moment, in less than three months we
should see cur finances on their best
feet, taxation reduced half, and the
C Irreney in sure way to recovery, by
gentls6Id almost imperceptible means.
WndJ Is mOTeI we buOulu a60 tues OF
northern capital flowing into the south
to turn its rich, natural resources into
unexampled prosperity. Tllden inspires
all classes with confidence-saVing
the rogues. Abuse Of him does
rot affect him at all. He has
in fact, no personal resent
menta, which his enemies say is pro-
found policy, but which L know is the
make Of the man. He is so deely ab-
sorbed in his principles that he pays no
heed to personalities. You might assail
him for years, and at the end Of that
time, if you were worthy, he would be
the first to acknowledge it. When
consider the condition of the country,
and his peculiar aptitude to meet the
on all sides, he really seems
to me more Of Providential man than
we have hsd for long while. l do not
bslieve the Democratic rarity will be so
blind as to reject him. No Democratic
name can carry this State, which is all
except Tilden; and he would
carry it easy, because all the Independ-
ent Republicans would go for him.
Yours truly, PARKE GOODWIN"

The Knoxville Tribune OF the 18th,
says "Inssmuch SIS the 'OCOnner
Zoaaves' were the first in Tennessee, if
not in the United States, to signify their
reaiiness and desire to avenge the fate of
the brave Custer and his gallant men,
we doubt not they will be hOnOred with
the first acceptance from Tennessee-a
distinction richly deserved. We under
stand Major O'Conner is now in Wash-
ingUon and will see that justice is done
to his gallant namesakes." The "inas-
much" OF the above won't do, for the
Chickasaw Guards of this city, we be-
lieve, were the first company that offer
ed their services to the government. The
government cannot find better mill
tsry company in Tennessee. 1t is I'M.
necessary for the ChickasaW Guards to
send an agent to Washington for justice
or anything else.

NEW ORLEANS, July 2I.-Advices
from Shrevepcr. state that many plan
tations on the west side Of Old river are
overfowed. Fears are entertained that
all on that side will be submerged. The
heavy rise at Shreveport has alarmed
the planters along the river Immediately
below. The upper river at Fulton fell
thirteen inches. The impression at
Shreveport is that every plantation be-
tween Fulton and the head of the raft
