' Candidate* for the LegMufiircIt
is most undesirable in an intelligent and enlightened
community like* that of Kershaw District,
that the friends of candidates for the suffrages of the
' people should make efforts to advance their election
by the detraction of their opponents The favour of
? ihSvpublic should rather be enlisted by an exhibition
\ ' of the virtue, ability and tried integrity of the candi
dates, and their devotion to the pnblic interest instead
of recklessly and unjustly attempting to injure their
< character, and thos enabling their friends to climb
over tbeir damaged reputations. Detraction is a disreputable
weapon, aad apt to' react upon those who
use it We are all imperfect beings, and if the effort
was made, there is nd doubt that the friends of each
candidate could persuade themselves that all the opposing
candidates were sadly defective. It would be
a much more worthy endeavour, and more consonant
with the character of the dandidate, now before the
people, to show, not who is the most disreputable, but
> whom most desorviDg of support and meriting most'
public confluence.
The friends of Major DeSaussu#e tike pleasure, in .
appealing to Lite record of his life. All his antecedents
claim the appreciation of the good and virtnous?liia
t:ied public integrity?his amiable and kind character
" and his unimpeachable private worth desires support
. and defies detraction?the conviction must be univer
sal ia the district that no one would more conscientiously
and diligently attend to the public interest, and
this appeal is-made-that bis're-election might give?
public approbation. JUSTICE.
A Startling .Disclosure of a Rebel
Pirate Scheme.?A .New London (Connec'
tiefct) correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser
says :
The greatest-excitement has prevailed during
the past week in the steam boat offices of
* the lines from Boston to New York, consequent
upon the revealing to Collector Barney
of a plot to destroy all the steam boats run*
nine on the Sound. It was said that the
Electric Spark, recently captured by tbe Tallahassee,
and now her consort, has been hovering
about our coast, and was to do the work.
11 is asserted as a fact that the Tallahassee,
about three weeks since, went into Newport
harbor, steamed around the Constitution tbeu
lying there, and steamed out' again unchallenged.
Four gunboats have been sent into
? the Sound to look after the affair.
The World has the following graphic paragraph,
the pictorial vigor and truth of which
puts the Tribune into a terrible state of nerves:
Only say negro, and there is a clas?of this
community npon whom the word has the effect
of ctitnip upon the feline specifes. They wrig
I gle, they smirk, they roll over, they mew, they
pprr, they fondle, they stick out their claws,
curve their backs, and twist and gyrate in every
conceivable form of delight. Accordiog to
them, this great American people, thiB great
constitutional property, are 'of.no account in
comparison with the possible elevation of a
race which haa been slave since the beginning
of creation. !

"Blowing . up the Tunnel."?Some
weeks ago a statement appeared in.the Telegraphy
foundod upon tbe report of a "Courier"
in regard to the blowing up of the Tunnel
beyond Dalton. ' This statement was extensively
copied by the press, and for days thereafter
the* public rested confidently under tbe
imnression that the Tunnel aforesaid had been
I "I?? rr ^
effectually destroyed. Alf this, however, was I
* delusion. The Tuniel was never blown up.

The Fbkn'ch ik Matajiohas.?According < to the '
Houston Telegraph, the French occupied Matarooras ^
on-the 2d iustant. The capture of that city and Mon- I
tcrey gives them possession of the Northern States of | '
Mexico, aud leaves no ground lor the Juarista party to j '
occupy. At last reports Cortina bad fled, Juarez had ; f

erased in that part of the new Empire.

ent of the Columbus Enquirer that about seven hun- 1
dred of the prisoners (out or seventeen hundred) at Atlanta
had taken the oath, and bad gone into the sor- vice

1st Georgia Cavalry. In this organization nearly *
every Stato in the Confederacy is lepresented. The

teries from Arkansas, twelve; Barry's battery, coin- I 1

Reverses in the fidefj the slaughter of her \

every, family within her borders the loss of '
property, the desolation of whole districts, the
fury of a war unparalleled in dimensions and
ferocity, have produced in ber no change or '

' Athens is the county seat of Limestone
county, Alabama, one hundred and fifty-four
miles north by east from Tuscaloosa, one hun- j
dred and nicety-six north of Montgomery nod
about twenty northwest from Huntsville. !
Limestone county borders on the Tennessee
line, and is therefore in the rear of Sherman's
army. Athens is. considered by Sherman
a most important position, ^aud hence the \
strong garrison stationed there. The Central (
Southern railroad, f hich unites Nashville with t
the Memphis and Charleston railroad, pusses*
through the place, and its occupation by our |
forces therefore severs one of Sherman's line ]
of communication. ' ' . - ]

(He Army Presidential Election at
the Ilorlli*
Vermont and Maine, in their recent dictions,
lavc.gone against the Democracy, by increased
Republican majorities. But it docs not follow
hat all the States to Conic, will go the same
vay as in 1863 ; for the issne is no longer be-'
rvecn a Union war party and a Jeff Davis peace
larty. Gen. McClellan's letter, defining bis portion
as a Presidential candidate, brings back
;he masses of the Democratic party to the. solid
Union platform upon which they carried all the
jrcat central States, from New York to Illinois
nclusive, in 1862. Excepting the irrepressible
digger, Lincoln and McClellan.stand upon the
same platform?the Union at all hazards, and
10 peace short of the complete triumph of Unon.
The real issue ir therefore, between the
opacity of Lincoln and the capacity pf M rClcl
Ian for the tremendous responsibilities of the
next Presidency ; and upon this question of capacity
there can be little donbt as to which is
Lbe superior man, Lincoln or McClellan.
We grant that the pioneer State election of.
Maine has generally foreshadowed the Presidential
result from the year 1828, whenvGen.
Jackson was first elected to the White House.
Ia jhc present national contest Gen. McOlel
Ian and bis platform, as the Democratic candidate,
have not cohie before the people in realty
until after the Maino State election. Tlie first
positive test, infallibly.developing his strength
or weakness is yet to be made; and.it will be
made in the Pennsylvania October election.
In thi* connection it must be remembered that,
notwithstanding the fact thai the local September
Maine election of 1850, by a very heavy
majority went in favor of Fremont, the Pennsylvania
October election, in going the other
way, although by the slender majority of two
thousand votes ogt of half a million, decided
the Presidential November election jn favor of
Buchanan by common constntr So now, if
Gen. McCleilan, in restoring the Democracy to
their Union platform of 18132, can restore to.
them anything approaching the majority by
which in that.year they carried Pennsylvania
in October, they.may (excepting Ohio) reasonably
hope to carry along with Pennsylvania all
the other centra! States in November, in addition
to the States of Dele ware, Kentucky and
Missouri -enough to elect McClellnn. In any
jvent, the result of the Presidential November
flection will "be made plain in the result of t}ic
Pennsylvania October election.?N. Y. Herild.
