The Clarksville Female Academy.

We regret to learn that MrD. c.
Senter, of this place, has foundit nee
essary to 60 into bankruptcy. He is

Ms c. S. Hahn, of McClure's Tenn
pie of Music, Nashville, informs us

The candidates for Congress spent
last Friday in cur town, although
not the appointed time. They spoke
FIVE or ten minutes each to considera-
bic crowd on Main street in the after
noon, merely announcing themselves
as candidates and telling what they
expected to do on the 9th of August,
which is the time in their list of ap-T
pointments to speak here, when
large crowd is expected.
We understand that Judge Black
and his friends charge that FIVE or six
of Carthel's friends started the report
that Num- was a candidate for Judge.
The Dyersburg Gazette says Judge
Black went to Brownsville the other
day, and returned fully satisfied that
the Hen. Dave Num-, the most pro-
nounced radical in the district, is a
candidate for Judge" This looks
very mach like Judge Black started
the report in Dyer.
We learn thatone of,our distinguish
ed visitors got badly ditched here last
Friday night. While crossing an ug-
ly drain on a foot>plank, he fell into
mud and water foot or two deep,
thereby being compelled to forege the
pleasure of a geOd supper and elegant
entertainment at one of our most hos.
pisable mansions. We understand he
Caldwell for help before his final res
'c1e. The mud may cover his gar
ments, buthis honestreeOrd will never
be smirched.
Judge Black ana some Of his friends
say the nomination of Carthel and
the repert of the candidacy of Num-
is a'tenewspaper trick" This is not
so. The Haywood county Democrat
ic executive committee had large |
meeting, and correSpsnded with the !
chairmsn of other county committees |
befoseC Carthels name was agreed on.
Further, we are reliably informed that
Judge Black hinsslf ten days ago told
several gentlemen in Trenton and
Humboldt that he had seen Num-, and |
the he was satisfied that he (Nunn)
either'was or would be candidate. So
Judge Black started the report him>
self, and cannot blame the Democracy
for rallying for the strongest. man.
