A UNIQUE CAMPAIGN.

| L It IdTiHeT CduOludte TOT THO govern
orship oil Mississippi. the Hon. Charlie
Scott. one of the representative cotton
planters of the South. is now engaged
i'll q unique and unusual canvass of his
state. in the interest,of his candidacy.
He has gone back to the old time Dem
ocratic custom i'll vogue in the days of
Thomas Jefferson and is making horse
back canvass of considerable part of
mississippi. during which lie will ride
his horse, Electioneer, from the Tennes-
see line to the Gulf of Mexico, passing
through, parts OF twenty-six counties.
The Journey will be made alone and is
outlined so as to enable this distinguish
Ell gentleman to meet the people. and
especially the farmers who live some dis
tance from the railroads. Mr.. Scott is
said to have been the Youngest Conted-
crate soldier in FORESTS command, and
to see the old trooper, who once follow
ed tile Wizard oil the Saddle, once more
on horseback for Gays at a time, will
vividly recall the historic past. BY the
| way, ii MIR. Scott is elected governor ot
Mississippi. that state can boast Of hav-
ing the only governor III the United
States who once served in the -onied-
crate army. MIR. Scott left Grand June
ton, Tenn. on Ang. 80 and rode to
Ashland, the county seat OF Penton
county. He is now i'll some of the coun-
ties south of that place, and it
will require some tve weeks: perhaps,
for tho journey.-Commercinl. Appeal.
We can with all consciousness say
that with Charles Scott as governor OF.
Mississippi we would have a Chief Ex;-'
ecutiye whose one object would be for
the welfare of the entire state. Mr..
Scott is not working for any future
promotions and therefore will not have
to feed any set Of political trick tefs in
order 10 be boosted into some other
Office. 1t would not surprise us to see

Hon. Chas. Scott, unqustionablv the
leading candidate for governor. passed
through our town Monday morning on
his famous horseback trip through the
part of the state. He 0nly reiuained
here a short time Monday morning. and
regretted that he did not have time 10
meet all our people, but was hastenuig

He had beer, ten tfavs coming fIx'in the
TcnnesseesIin }and'expects to be two or
three more weeks getting to tho Cult.
ESitiing erect in his sadelle-he locked
every incl, the noble old General back in
Sos and recalled to the minds OF all the
old soldiers DAYS past and gone.
His novel mode of campaigning for
the purpose OF minsling with the farm
ing class of people that he may be better
able to study their needs aud wants, is
meeting with mucl, success along the
line. Being one of the largest farm ers
of the state. agriculture is highly inter
esting to him, and when he goes IN as
Governor of this great state. he Will
naturally be the farmers FRIEND and
helper, besides he will he the only Con-
iederatc soldier governor in the union at
this time and very probably the last one
the New South will ever have. The
horseback trip is one of the biggest hits
ever made by n candidate, as 1t meets
the approval OF the real voters OF the
state from their general expressions
