TUESDAY XORKIHG, AP.RIL 29, 1856.
KNOW-NOTHING ELECTORS.
The know-ncthing'ConTastioa of the Fifth Con
gressional district, which recently met at Lebanon,
nominated Robset Hattox, Esq., ns their Elector.
Mr. H. is a Eprightly and efficient popular declaimer,
and is likelj to be tha next member to Congress
from that district, unless the peoplo should conclude
to elect a good National democrat, which they cer
tainly ought to do.
The know-nothing Convention for this district,
which recently met at CIark3ville, nominated Jas.
31. QcAfttra, Esq., as their Elector. Mr. Quarlis
is the Attorney General for that Judicial circuit,
which he will of course resign, as his presoat posi
tion.will not admit of his remaining in office con
sistent with the new platform of his party. He is
a good speaker and as clever a fellow as it is possi
ble for a man;to be, who has deserted his old party
end joined the know-nothings. This gentleman
also hopes to get to Congress, we understand, if
Gen. ZoLuoorFEit should be run for Qorernor or
otherwise displaced from his present position. But
Gen. Zoixicorrsn will hardly be willing to give up
u certainty for an uncertainty, or yield a good
thing to accommodate others.
The most amusing circumstance of this Conven
tion was tho selection of our old friend Ament as
one of its Vice-Presidents. We would liko to have
been thoro to have Been him sitting up by Hokk
bsrqkr, the President. We know his heart was
fulL We can see him now, with his cleanly shaved
(ace and his largo shirt collar bristling under his
ears, as he throws himself back upon his official
dignity, a model for a statue ! Yo Gods, how he
swells I
But wt aro not altogether satisfied with the posi
tion which they gave our friend. We see no rea
son why be should play second fiddler to Mr. Hoes
bikoer. When did Horneircib ever floor the
Governor? When did he ever paint a picture of
"Jacob's ladder" and cerry it around to amuse
the b'hoye with ? When did he ev er make a speech
to a State Convention that called down such continu
ed applauee that nothing was heard that the speak
er said? We are sorry he didn't refuse I but being
''intensely" American, and believing in the doc
trine that "office is neither to be sought or declin-
bd'' he accepted.
We insist that our friend is not appreciated. But
there is a chance yet in store for him a position
precisely suited to his merit. Fillmore may re
fuse to run with iioxojoK for the Presidency. In
that event, whatis Donel9oh to do ? We know of
no one more likely to accept than Amskt.
"ABDii andDoxELjost!" That's the ticket. Wo
can gee it on the transparencies now. We can
hear the little boys shouting it through the streets.
We can see it in poetry, after the new-fashioned
Hiawathan style. Blow it jingles! And then
there would be another biography for the Banner,
embodying all the Penitentiary correspondence, his
lecture upon the present system of prison labor,
ic, &c. What an age we live in! Who can tell
what a day or an hour may bring forth!
AN OPENING.
Our neighbors of the OazttU arc exceedingly
anxious to get up a controversy with some one on
the doctrines of the Catholic Church. Inasmuch
as the Uxiox aud Ameticah is a political and not
a sectarian journal, and as we shrewdly suspect
there is a good deal of the parson about the edi
tors of that paper, we cannot accept the glovo so
politely tendered.
We find, however, in glancing over the Banner
for 1862, that two members of that paper were al
most entirely occupied with a defence of the
Catholic Church, written by AiicHBisHor Huchis.
The article is headed "The Catiiolic Chapter.
JH THE HlSTOET OF THE UhITED STATES,'' and
is highly laudatory of the patriotism of that
Church. Gen. Zolucoffeb published this ar
ticle with the following emphatic endorsement of
the patriotism of that Church. We suggest to
our neighbors to try Zollicoffer perhaps he
would disputo with them upon their grave theolog
ical propositions:
"We enter upon the publication to-day of an
exceedinnly fntermtinit and valuable historical
paper, from ONE OP THE BE8T INTEL
LECTS OF THE AGE. We mean the "Cath
olic Chapter in the History of the United States,"
by BISHOP HUGHES. It will be concluded
to-morrow.
"The detailed and comprehensive information
imparted, gives to this paper great value for the
general reader. Its spirit is unexceptionable,
breathing A HIGH AND PURE MORALITY,
in which PATRIOTISM and brotherly neighbor
ship are conspicuously inculcated. THE GE
NIUS OF OUR INSTITUTIONS IN RE
SPECT TO RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, is lumi
nously pictured to the mind. The incidents of
this "Catholic Chapter" are so HALLOWED
BY HISTORICAL RECOLLECTIONS
DEAR TO PROTESTANTS, that a perusal
of the paper must promote charity, allay unreason
able prejudices, and strengthen and widen that
euperstructure of toleration, WHOSE FOUN
DATION IS LAID IN THE CONSTITUTION,
und whose summit sustains as one of many
columns that mishty union of American States
and people, THE HARMONY AND PEACE
AND PROSPERITY OF WHICH ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO THE SPREAD OF LIB
ERTY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD."
SECOND CUOICK.
The Patriot of Saturday discloses the not very
astonishing fact that Messrs Nelsoh and Brieic,
were but the second choice for State electoral ticket,
of the Know Nothing Convention.
In a complimentary notice of Ex-Gov. Neil S.
Baoww, that paper says': "Though repeatedly urged
on him by the State Convention, he felt constrain
ed to decline tho post at the head of the electoral
ticket."
Hoaxed. The purported prcqgodinga of a lata
democratic meeting in Van Buren county, publish
ed in our paper, were fictitious: in brief, some
graceless scamp hoaxed us. A friend at Spencer
informs us of the fact, and asks us to send him the
manuscript, that the authors may be exposed.
There seems to be an epidemic disposition to
play off such tricks by the Know Nothing. We
have foiled many attempts recently. Bat proceed
ings of public mertings are published so entirely as
matters of course, that we hardly look at them,
and never read them until in type. To prevent
such things hereafter, we must ask our friends to
get some one with whose hand-writing we are
familiar to enclose such documents to us.
Demcoratio Victories. The majority of Judge
Gorsline, democrat, in the Fourth Judicial District
of Wisconsin, is likely to reach three thousand!
Manitowoc county gives Mr. Gorsline 1,541 votes,
to 45 for his know-nothing and black republican
antagonist!
In Elkhorn, the county seat of Walworth coun
ty, Wisconsin, which last fall gave Bashford near
1000 majority, every democratio candidate was
elected at the spring election.
j" The appearance of Mr. Dallas, the Amer
ican Minister, in the British House of Commons,
attracted some attention. The London coires
pondent of tho Glasgow DaUy News describes him
as " a remarkably mild looking old gentlemen cf
fine complexion, with white locks, looking very
liko onnntrr clergyman in the dissenting line."

In view of the above democratic figures, the
Detroit Free Press puts the. following pertinent
question':
"Mr. Howard has gone to Kansas ; had not he
tetter remain there? When he was in this city,
two or three weeks ago, the black republicans held
a meeting at the City Hall, which undertook to
express 'the approval of. his constituents of his
course in Congress.' The law provides a more cer
tain way than partisan meetings of ascertaining the
public temper towards public servants. It pro
vides anneal elections, in which the whole people
participate. Such elections have just been held
throughout Mr. Howard's district, and the fore
going is the result. Had not he botter remain in
Kansas
CALIFORNIA POLITICS.
The following notice of the iato Democratic
State Convention in California is taken from the
Columbia (Cal) Qazette. Msj. Solomoh, whose
name is mentioned In the extract, is a Tennessean,
and was Major of the 3rd Tennessee regiment in
the Mexican war. Ho is now on a visit to his
friends in this State, after an absence cf six years

Maj. Solomon, who was selected bb from our

and a heavy vote thrown for him. It is acknowl
edged on all sides that our delegation is in all re
sptcts highly creditable to the party, and that in

The Convention was by far tbe.most important
ever neid by tne democracy. The utmost harmony

dowed by naturn and as a glorious inheritance trvm our

mocracy to orgunize every where for tne conflict, for it is
endent mat uie great national democratic party will niTe
Kncw-nothingUm proper in the South to contend against,
and know-noihingism and black republicanism combined
In the .North, ana all true democrats should be readr to
meet this double foe in the approaching canvass. There-
lore,
Hesclted, That we tut scribe to and cordially endorse the
Baltimoio platform of 1852, upon which Fiaoklin Pierce
waa elected by'auch an unprecedented majority : and also
the platlorm adopted at the Democratic State Contention
neid at Aasnmie upon tne Bin 01 January last. '
JtetolteJ, That we cordially endorse the administration
of President Pierce, and consider that he has prored him
aelt a worthy patriot and statesman, fully competent to
guide the helm of State, and administer the government
unbiassed by selfish motives, baring adhered to, and fully
carried out, the principles of the piaUorm upon which he
was elected, and it nominated by the Cincinnati Conven
tion, we pledge ourselves to use all honorable means ta se
cure bis le-election.
' JiuelcfJ, That we endorse the administration o! our
Chi f Executive of the State or Tennessee, Got. Andrew
Johnson, and without making any invidious distinctions
among the many worthy statesmen North and South, we
would recommend his name to the favorable considera
tion ot the Cincinnati Convention tor the Presidency or
Vice Presidency.
JlfeohtJ, That we approve of the action of the Smith-
ville Convention in selecting and securing the services of
teat able, patriotic and eniciem punuc servant, uol. . u.
Uardenhire, of White, under whose lead no tears need be
entertained about the 4th Congressional District.
Bmiced, That it is deemed important that each county
should hare at leastprie sub-Elector to canvass the county;
therefore, this convention is recommended to elect one tor
that purpose.
Upon motion, the election of sub-Elector was gone into
and Samosi. N. Vcsqik, Esq., being put in nomiration,
was unanimously elected as sub-Elector to canvass Coffee
county, in the Presidential campaign of 1855.
C. 0. Brewer then offered the following resolution:

CAMPBELL CODSTV.
At a meeting ot the democracy in Jacksboro, in Camp
bell county, on the 21st day of April, 1850, the following
proceedings were had :
On motion, Capt. Johx ltrm waa called to the Chair,
Col J. L. Daugherty, appointed Secretary. Whereupon
the following resolutions Mere offered and unanimously
adopted:
littotttd, That we feel confident in the snceeta of the
great principles of the democracy in the present canvass,
but would recommend a diligent and vigorous effort on the
part of all true friends tf the Union, against h&nv) pu-ty
so recently grown into existence by means of ttcrct con
claiu lua&rriiUoitht.
A'esolvfJ, That we believe upon the success of the demo
cratic party depends the destiny of the Union ; and that
a triumph of knoff-nothingiim vtould be but the triumph
of black republicanism, as evidenced in the recent strug
gle for Speaker of the House.
Jlesolred, That wa would suggest to the democracy of
the State the propriety of forming county and district asso
ciations, as a means tit' advancing the cose of our princi
ples, and diffusing information among the people in all
parts of the country; and of eliciting a more geuwi- and
united effort on the part of the friends of the Union, against
the giant erutadtof isms which now threaten the nation
wtth disaster and ruin.
Xaolttd, That we approve of the Convention to be held
at Clinton on the first Monday in May, for the purpose of
selecting an Elector for this district; and that the follow
ing gentlemen be appointed delegates to that Convention:
W I) Sharp, Esq, Col W U Smith, James Cooper, Esq,
U1I Kerns, Isaac Gross, Pieasant Henderson, W 11 Ma
lone, Esq, Col Samuel Kyan, Thos Weir, L W Cross, and
Thomas rt'Gray.
JCetotUd, That we would suggest to said convention and
to the democracy of the district, the name ef W. II. Ma
lone, Esq- of Jacksboro, as a suitable gentleman for the
position of Elector, and that our delegates be requested to
voi lor aim m saia cuavcuuua.
And, on motion, it was ordered that the Chairman and
Secretary be added to the list of delegates; and that a
copy of these proceedings be sent to the Usio-v axn Asiiki

It was further resolved that if the delegates, all of them,
failed to attend that Mtj. John Jarnigan, of Clinton, cast

Mobb DtuociUTio VioTOBiu. The election in
Fort Wayne, Indiana, took plsce on the 7th in

over the Know Nothings and Black Republicans
united, by an average msjori'y of nearly four ta

the recent municipal election in Evansville, Ind.,
Jons Hswsos, Democrat, for mayor, beat his
Know Nothing opponent by 123 In Iowa city,
which the Know Nothings carried last year by a

Accident. From the same paper we learn that
an accident occurred in,' the Hiwassce Copper
Mines a few days ago, which resulted in the death
of one man and severe injury to another. It ap
pears that they were working at a blast when it
exploded and blew up. One man died on the

mado such progress when discovered and burned
so rapidly that the inmates of the dwelling had
barely time to escape.
Maeble. Col. James H. Aemsteoxo has

nient both to the river and railroad.
Mail Robbee The boy Huants, (says the
Knoxvilie Register charged with robbing the
mail on the Harrison route, was on Thursday
discharged by the Court in consideration of his
youthfulness. J.J. Ables, of Rhea county, has
since been arrested, upon information given by
Hughes, on a charge of having instigated the boy
to perpetrate the crime. He was bound over till
the next term of the Court.

Col. Wiluam WiLSoir, of Huntsvil'c, has re

Tuscumbia, has received an appointment on the
same route. Salary $800..
Wheat. The Athens Post savs: As far as wc
have had an opportunity of observing, the grow
ing wheat looks very well; and we think the'ap
prehension that it had been seriously injured by
the severe winter was premature.
Tho same paper gives a table showing the num
ber of bushels of wheat shipped over the Hast
Tennessee and Georgia Railroad of the last year's
haviest, up to the last of February.. The total foots
up at four hundred and twenty-four thousand five
hundred and sixteen bushels. A portion of this
was sold at $1 50 per bushel, while none waa sold
at less that 81 amounting to more than half a
million of dollars in the aggregate. In addition
to the wheat shipped, it is estimated that between
one and two hundred thousand bushels have been
manufactured' into flour and exported. In 1850
one hundred thousand bushels, in grain and flour,
would have covered the amount exported from the
same counties. The increase in this single item
will serve to show what effect the railroad is hav
ing upon the agricultural interest of that section.

AGRICULTURAL OROANIZATION.
Ageicultubal. By the annexed official report,
it will be seen that the East Tennessee Agricul
tural Society, has united permanently with the
County Societies of East Tennessee in holding
the "Eastern Division Fair," and further that the
annual Fair has been permanently located at
Knoxvilie. We think, and there is no selfishness
in the thought, that the selection is the best that
could have been made. A more accessible point,
and at the same time, one affording better facili
ties for holding lhe Fairs, making preparation for
the accommodation of stock, &c, could not have
been found. The amalgamation of the Fairs, one
of which was already located at this place, will
have the effect of giving additional importance and
adding greater interest to the annual exhibitions,
inasmuch it will enable the Commissioners to ex-
tend and enlarge the Premium List, and prepare
better accommodations than they have heretofore
been able to provide. Uur people, of all nvocn
tions, should bear the Fair in mind, during the
summer, and prepare for a grand demonstration
next fall. We nave been requested to call tne at
tontion of our brethren of the press, in East Ten
nessee, to the proceedings found below:
ageicultubal meetihg.
In pursuance to previous notice, a number of
the delegates of the County Agricultural Societies
of East Tennessee, the Commissioners of the
EaBt Tennessee Agricultural Society, and the
Commissioners of the Eastern Division Fair, met
at the Agricultural omce in Knoxvilie, on Mon
day, April 21st, 1856, for the purpose of taking
into consiuernuon ine propriety 01 locating the
Ea3t Tennessee Division Fair and for other pur
poses.
W. G. Swan, Esq., in behalf of the East Ten
nessee oociety, proposed a union of the two organ
izations, which was agreed to by the delegates of
me county societies present, ana, thereupon, by
vote of the meeting, the amalgamation was effect
ed in accordance with the provisions of the
amended Agricultural act.
On motion of Dr. R. H. Hodsden, it was re
solved that the annual Fair of the societies thus
amalgamated, be held at or near Knoxvilie upon
such grounds as may hereafter be purchased for
that purpose.
CoL John Williams having tendered his resig
nation as President of the Fair, which was ac
cepted,Dr. R. H. Hodsden, of Sevier, was unani
mously elected to supply the vacancy. Col. Wil
liams was then elected Treasurer of the organi
zation, with power to receive and disburse the
funds of the same, upon tho order of the Commis
sioners. On motion, the President appointed Jno. Wil
liams, G.M. Hazen, and Maj. vVill. Swan, a com
mittee to purchase suitable Fair grounds.
On motion, it was ordered that the 1,000 ap
propriated by the 6th section of the amended act,
for the purchase of "movable fixtures" be us:d, in
accordance with said act, for the purchase of per
manent fixtures for tho Fair grounds.
It was further ordered that a roport of the pro
ceedings of this meetin? officially signed, be pub
lished in the Knoxvilie Register, with a request
that the papers of East Tennessee give publicity
to the same.
On motion, the meetincr adionrned. subiect to

and much of the grading 'done.
The indefatigable President, Samuel Tate, will
run it. through this year, if it is possible for man
to accomplish it. His means are ample.
The remaining link to perfect this central line
is the East Tenn. & Va. Railroad, leading from
this point to the junction with your road at Va.
&.Tenn. line. The length is about 130 miles,
some 25 of which is in use, and the grading and
bridging on the remainder well advanced. Tho
progress on thi3 work has been rather slow, yet
their means have been used with great economy.
Our legislature has aided them with great lib
eraliiy; their means are now abundant; and I have
great confidence in their making extra exertions
to complete their road atn early day. I cannot,
however, give you an approximate idea of the
time.
I know you aro boking forward to a heavy
travel when Tennessee shall have comp'eted her
part of this great line of Railroad, but let me ad
monish vou in time that, as yet, ycu have hardly
formed any correct estimate of the immense mul
titude you have to provide for daily Tne whole
travelling world South and West of us, even 10
the Gull of Mexico and tho shoiesof the Atlan
tic, will be poured in on you without intermission.
Respectfully and truly yours,

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER CROSSED BV THE IRON
HORSE.
Davenport, Iowa, April 22 9, A. M.
When Gusar with his legions crossed the Rubi
con, which divides Cisalpine Gaul from Italy, be
was well aware of the greatness of the work ho
was engaged in; and although many attempted to
d.ssuade him from such an undertaking, yet noth
ing daunted he landed his army on the plains of
, . - 1 1 . 1 .3 1 i.j.j 1 - 1 1.1.
Italy, astonuuea me worm uy u ueoua uiu icii.
mankind an instance of bravery and enterprise
worthy of record.
We, too, however, have crossed the "Rubicon"
tha great "Father of Waters" which lor centu
ries has rolled on into tho bosom of the mighty
ocean without a pier to mar its progress. To-day
has the mighty deed been accomplished at which
the world ha3 so often smiled in derision. Yes,
the Mississippi is practically no more. It is span
ned by the mighty artery of commerce and enter
prisethe railroad. Science has stretched its arm
across the ever-flowing Mississippi and along its
finely-knit muscles has the "irou horse" bouuded
with a heavy snort as it scents from afar the slug
glish waters ot the Missouri. The' mission of C:e
sar of old was to conquer; so is that of C3ar of
the nineteenth century: but the litter is ono of
peace and plenty. The ''war horse" of civilization
may have fiery nostrils, but it has also an olive
branch, the seeds from which it scatters as it flies.
That such an event should have occurred with
out an assemblage of spectators from all quarters
ot the globe to witness it, is only another instance
of the mighty progress which has been made with
in the last titty years in the science of bridge build
ing. As we approached Rock Island, there were
rumors afloat that we would cross to Iowa on the
new bridge. "Cross the Mississippi on a bridge 1"
cried an intelligent looking gentleman. "On, a
bridge?" simpered a feminine voice from a young
lady to her parents, bound for Council Bluffi;"why,
Pa,"I thought the Mississippi was a great river
larger than the Hudson?"
ao silently had this work progressed, that while
half the world has been asleep, genius has been
spanning the mightest river on the globe, and con
necting two as magnificent sections of territory as
the sun ever shone on.
Swiftly we sped along" the iron track Rock Is
land appeared in sight the whistle sounded, and
the conductor cried out, "Passengers for Iowa keep
their seals." There was a pause a hush as it
wore, preparatory to the fierceness of a tornado.
The cars moved on the bridge was reached
"We're on the bridge see the mighty Missis iippi
rolling on beneath" and all eyes were fastened on
the' mighty parapets of the magnificent bridge,
over which we glided in solemn silence. A few
minutes nnd the suspended breath was let loose.
"We're over!" wasthecry, "we have crossed the
Mississippi m a railroad car.
The National Intelligencer rejoices over the
lite action of the old line whigs of Kentucky, eulo
gizes the whig party, and urges its resuscitation,
saying :
"We repeat, then, that we heartily approve ths
spirit and object of the movement commenced by
the whigs of Kentucky, and indulge the hope that
it will meet with a response from all who cherish
kindred sentiments. Meanwhile, for ourselves, we
can only say to the 'old line whiga' whom it may be
our honor to address, that it still seems expedieat
to us that the whig party should preserve its dis
tinct organization, and, as we have heretofore had
occesion to suggest, abide its proper time tor mak
ing the weight of its influence felt in that decision
which dutv and patriotism shall call upon it to take
in the present conjuncture of political events."
