Double Barrel Race.

Nashville, March 9.-The senatorial
fight is growing warm. Judge SnoJ-
grass gave out a sarcastic interview to-
night on Gov. McMillin's action in run
ming for governor and also being Il
receptive candidate for senator. Judge
Snodgrass pokes fun at McMillin, and
concludes as follows: "The candidates
for governor who have thus been showed
aside to wait while he makes his double
barreled race-for little men can only
make single race-may be somewhat
disappointed. If they are patriots they
will bow to the will of the people who
know they have champion and repre-
sentative so superior to them that they
have no cause to complain when it is
demanded of them to subside until the
poney races are in order, and when the
double entries of single horses have
gone out of fashion in Tennessee poll
tics.
''Let the single barrelled gentlemen
of small calibre, who wish to run for
governor, learn not to explode at tins
juncture or on improper occasions, but
contain their small charges until a
propitious time, when one of them shall
find a class in which he can run. The
most unwise thing in modern pugilism,
as we'll as in modern politics, is for a
feather-weIght champion to enter the
list against him who not only fights as
heavy weight, come whence he may,
but takes two at time on the cheap
wager of the governor of Tennessee
and a place in the senate. May the
Lord help the bantams in Tennessee.
The Judge says the situation is prom
ising so far as he is concerned.

along the liue of the railroad except
those abl Strawberry Plains, the
destruction OF those above that point
being delegated to David Fry, another
loyal "tincolnite, as they were des-
ignatel in those duys Young and Fry
were given full power to use their own
judgment and to accomplish the re-
suit sought according to their own plans

sociates and assistants.
Z "Young, IN connection with William
Cross, a neighbor, secured contract
to furnish beef to the Confederate
troops stationed at Knoxville, and it
was while engaged i'll filling this con-
tract that he was able to ascertain the
of guards stationed at each of
the bridges doomed to destruction, and
to find and employ men to do the work.
The men who Young engaged in the
perilous work were all tried and true
men aud entered upon the work with
a patriotic zeal that promised success
from the first. Each of the men select
ed was authorized to select his own
helpers and force. The disposition of
the enterprise as finally agreed upon
was as follows:
"W, G. Pickens and associates were
to burn the bridge at Strawberry Plains
John Rhea, the bridge at Loudon; Free
morton Young and William Gate were
assigned to destroy the bridge at Char

'The largest force stationed by the
Confederates at any point along the
river was at the bridge, and those hav-
ing the matter in charge decided not
to engage in combat with the guar DIS,
but to take their ladder and conbusti-
bles up the riyer in boat, approach
the middle pier and fire it in the center.
In this they failed, because they could
not reach the woodwork with their lad
der.
"No serious trouble occurred with
any of the guards except at Strawberry
Plains. Pickens had to fight his way
to the bridge and was severely wound
ed and almost cut to pieces before he
succeeded in accomplishing his pur-
pose. The bridge however, was burn
ed and Pickens recovered.
"There was but one guard on duty
at the north end of the bridge across
the Hiwassee at the time it was APP
preached and fired. My father and
William Cate going on the ground we're
saluted by the guard as friends. and he
explained that bis comrades had gone
for some distance in the country. I'm

the guard under arrest and disarmed

Carmack on McMillln.

Nashville, March "a special from
Washington to the Banner today says:
Mr.. Carmack was asked what he
thought of Gov. McMillin's announce
ment in his Pulaski speech.
81 have not yet seen full report of
the governors speech" replied Mr..
Carmack, "but from such reports as I
have seen it seems that he practically
declares himself candidate for both
offices. When I was boy and played
marbles, whenever a fellow tried to
knock two marbles out of the ring at
one shot we used to 'yense his dubs'
and make him put one of them back.
That's what I'm going to do to the
governor - I'm going to 'yense his
dubs."
Mr.. Carmack said that some of his
friends had advised him to hold on to
his place in congress until the Bena-
torial race was settled, but that he had
announced from the very first that he
would not be candidate for and would
not accept nomination for congress-
~ have staked everything on this
race" he said, 'and if | fail there is no
official feather bed between me and the
ground. All / ask is that all the candi-
dates be given full, fair chance to test
their strength before the people and
that there shall no snap judgment be
taken by hastily-called primaries or
conventions.
Mr.. Carmack appeared in very good
humor over the situation and spoke in
pleasant terms of his competitors.
