You have, | suppose, seen the sug-
gestion ofthe name Of Colonel G. NJ.
McGhee as a candidate for Governor.
One thing your correspondent can
e~herfully say Of this gentleman, that
be is an honored son Of Knoxville and
regarded as one Of the great railroad
men Of the times. Modest almost TO
a fault, he never obtrudes himself
upon auy one, or seeks public posi-.
tions in any quarter. Genial and UNI
assuming, kind hearted and generous,
and true to those that are true 10
themselves, he has always had hosts Of
admiring friends. HIS vast wealth
has not had the effect Of making him
naughty, supercilious and overbear-
ing. The poor, toiliDg man receives
as much consideration at his hands az
the rich man. He is literally mo 70.

were not observed at the time, but

q different selection of a candidate for
the high position Of Governor. She
certainly could not designate for the
position atruer or more patriotic son
who would be truer to her honor, and
who would add higher dignity to the
Office. A gentleman of the old school,
dignifed in his learning, polished in
his manners, and social and respectful
in his relations with his fellows, he
would bring no discredit upon the fair
name of Tennessee.

The food wave that passed through
the crevasses in Bolivar, Washington
and Coahoma Counties has overhowed
all the Yazoo, Tallahatchie, Sunhower
and Deer Creek sections, with some
very few exceptions. On the Talla-
hatchie and Deer Greek there is a rib
bon Of land ina few localities still
out. This is exceedingly valuable as
a means OF saving stock. On the upper
Sunhower the food struck like a tidal
wave. and the people are exceedingly
hopeful that the higher lands will be
out again within three or four weeks.
Aud this is the only hopeful feature
of the food. 1t is now only the mid
die of March. and cotton may be
planted up to the 1st or 18th of May
With profit, and corn a few weeks la.
ter. Where the labor can be kept to-
gether and the stock saved, it is quite
probable some sort of a crop will be
raised.
Gov. Lowry is in the city devoting
his personal attention to the ~necessi-
ties Of the citizens in the Valley. He
received a telegram from Secretary Of
War Lincoln yesterday saying that he
had, at the urgent request Of Senator
George, ordered 100, 600 more rations
for Mississippi. The Governor is de.
yising the best means to fairly distri.
butte the rations to both man and
beast, and at the same time not de-
moralize the laborers. The packets
in the Yazoo, Tallahatchie, Sunhower
and Deer Creek are the best means of
reaching the districts, and honest,
just men will be selected in every
neighborhood to carry out the pur-
poses Of the Government.

Outside Of politics and theology
there is no subject that so quickly
emits indignant howls at being touch
ed as that which miscalls itself tenn
perance. To the men who manage and
approve the temperance movement as
at present conducted a single word of
criticism or doubt is as irritating as q
red shirt dangled before the eyes of an
unreasonable bull, and suggestions Of
practical work for the benefit of the
men who would stop drinking If any
one would help them are resented as
Indignantly as If they we're invitations
to drink. A refreshing exception to
this rule is the superintendent of an
i%nebriate's refuge at Boston, who, in
talking with a reporter a few days ago,
pointed out the blunders Of the
temperance movement in very much
the same language that outsiders have
used. Among the causes to which the
gentleman attributed the generally adj
mitted decline Of interest in the cause
are lack Of work by the great society
known as the Sons Of Temperance,
the intrusion Of politics, the assump-
ton Of religious societies, aud, above
all, the lack Of any general, intelligent,
persistent effort TO 80 improve the
condition of the drinking man, that
he will be able TO resist temptation.
In other words, a practical temper
ance worker secs the movement under
exactly the same light as the practical
outsider, and admits that though ii
may not have too much sentiment
behind tit is sadly deficient in heart
! and pocket.
