He was contradicted on the spot as to one of his statements, but did not reply. _Prominent Radicals at Washington declare that there is no possible hope ::or the success of that party in Tennessee at the approaching elec? tion. Conservatives claim the State by 40,000 or 60,000 majority. j ? Prentice says that one murder in i:he South creates more excitement among Northern people than ten murders in the North, and assigns as a reason that one murder here is more uncommon than ten in the North. ? The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel regrets to learn, through private sources, that Hen. A. H. Stephens does not recover rapidly. The second Tolume of his great work continues to receive daily attention to the extent of his strength, but progress is necessarily slow, in consequence of his physical weakness. ? Mississippi is practicing the same tactics as Virginia. The Democracy are going into volun? tary eclipse, and will support Gen. Dent, Presi? dent Grant's bro her-in-law, a Republican, and claim that they will elect him by thirty-five or forty thousand majority. ? A man who has worked for years in the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a machinist, has learned, in leisure hours, to speak, read and write Hebrew, French, German and Italian, and obtained a thorough knowledge of geology and botany.

Philadelphia is to have a bigger musical jubi? lee than Boston has had.

The official returns in Virginia show that the vote for Walker will fall twenty-six thousand short of the white registration, and that for Wells eighteen thousand short of the colored registra? tion. The objectionable clauses in the Constitu? tion were defeated by forty thousand. There ap pears to have been an entirely new deal in pol tics, as only six members of the elected Legislatur?, hare been there before. ? Every one should prepare well for a turnip ctep, says the Walhalla Courier, and seed as largely as possible. The effects of scarcity of breadstuff's may be greatly abated by a good crop of this vege. table, which is probably the quickest and most profitable of all the root crops, and requires less labor in its cultivation. Apart from its value as a. table vegetable, it may be made to subserve the purpose of corn in the fattening of hogs and win? tering milch cows. ? The New Orleans Times, comparing the North ?nd South, says, that there never was a more aus? picious opportunity for the South to better her condition. The North is worn down and over-run, corrupt and enervated. The South is pure and hardy?her wonderful resources are developing? tbe attention of the world is directed to her pow? ers. It will take but a short time to shear the North of her strength, and grow the South into superb vitality. ? A Northern exchange says .? "There are ru? mors of a serious break in the Republican party. It is reported that Senators Sprague, Ross, Fowler, Henderson, and perhaps one or two others, will hereafter refuse to act with the Republican majori? ty in the Senate, while Chief Justice Cha3e is now said to be in full sympathy with the Democrats. The only member of Lincoln's original Cabinet who now acts with the Republicans is Simon Came? ron, who was turned out of it for corruption." ? A Washington telegram to the New York Times says : "The business and commercial reports ' from the South are of the most encouraging char acter. A gentleman who has travelled over nearly aU of the Southern States says that the people generally have not only recovered from the effects of the war and the general depression of a year ago, caused by political complications, but that they are now on a fair road to riches, and that the entire section of country will shortly be as flour? ishing as it was before the war."
