Ilia acquaintance lirou^hottt tho county is protty gonral, and all who know him recognize im as a gentleman in every respect roll qualifiod to fill the office to which ie has been nominated, with credit to aimself and the satisfaction of the peoplo. His businoss talents #re of a high order, and his manners such ns will rendor him, if elccted, an obliging, accomodating and faithful public ^errant.

"FTia conduct had attracted attention, and at Indianapolis awaited hiin a commission as First Lieutenant of Artillery, and Col. Frybarger, anxious to avail himsolf of Lieutenant Nicholson's knowledge in preparing artillery companies for the .field, had him dotailod as Drill Mastor, and he was for *omo time on gaged at Indianapolis in* drilling the 18th, 22d and 24th batteries. Tho perfection in drill and discipline to whi.ch these batteries wore brought by Lioutonant Nicholson boforo being forwarded to tho field placed them almost oh an equality with votoran artillerists, and conduced much towards preparing them for that efficient service which they subsequently rondered the country. Lieut. Nicholson was then attaohed to the 22d Indiana bfcttery, and with it left Indianapolis in the summer of 1862, under orders to report for active duty at

Bowling Greon," Kentucky. Upon arriving thore the 22d battery was attached

to4he

Army of the Ohio, and imme

diately placed on active duty in tho field. It whs constantly in the field doing important service undor the command of that sterling old patriot, General Shaekieford, while in Kentucky, and thoso who are familiar •with tho kind of scrvice required in Kentucky during-tho rebellion, will •remember how laborious 'that- duty was—continually in pursuit, all over tho State, of guerrillas, partisan fighters and roving cavalry commands. During the summer of 1863 the 22d Indiana battery, under the direct command of Gen. Shaekieford, rondered important service in capturing the notorious John Morgan and a large number of his bprse-thievos. In the winter of 1863 the 22d battery was ordered to Knoxville, Te«nessce, and after a severe march across- the country arrived thero and joined the 23d army corps. Early in the spring of 1864,* •with that corps, it marched down to Binggold and connected with the Army of the Cumberland. Sherman,

•Captain Nicholson was a member of tho Montgomery Guards previous to the war, a military company organized by Capt. Lew Wallace—afterwards a Major General in the Union army-r-a company that arrived at considerable proficioncy in- discipline and drill, and upon Iho broaklng out of the rebellion gave almost all its members to tho service of tho country. Capt. Nicholson' .was one of those who tendorod their sorvices to the Government upon the first

of alarm being sounded.

"With the company organized here by Capt. Low "Wallaco, he was musterod into the service of the Unitod States in the Eleventh Infantry, and participated in all the marches, campaigns and battles of that regiment during tho throe months' servi Upon the expiration of that service, Capt. Nicholson onlisted as a private in tho Dth Indiana Battery. This battery, immediately after its organization, was sent to tho field. Ordered to Fort Donalson, too late to roaoh thore in time to participate in' that battle, it was halted for a time at Caro, and then forwarded

Shiloh, which place it

reached just before tho great battle fought at that place. In the battlo of Shiloh tho 9th battery acted a very conspicuous part-. Nicholson, for his soldierly conduct, was promoted to Sergeant of tho first gun at the beginning of the action, which position he held during the battle, and acquittod himself with great honor. After the battle of Shiloh, ho was sent honife on sick furlough. Soon regaining his health at homo, ho roportod for transportation at Indianapolis to bo "forwarded to his battery in the field.—

at the head of that army, advanced upoU the rcbfel army, wliich was formidably posted bohind breastworks upon iho

:cro»t

of Tuhnek^Iill.hilpre, gn

the 7th of May, 186-4, bogan one of the most memorable campaigns upon record, Tho onomy, strong, defiant and secure as they supposed, bohind the impenetrable defences reared upon the crest of the mountain ranges, nevertheless were driven from their mountain fastnesses by tho indomitable courago and resistless powor of Northern arms. Tunnel Hill was carriod by our gallant army. Tho enemy took refuge behind Kooky Face and Buzzard's Roost, but these they were compelled to abandon, and Dalton was in the possession of our- hrmy. The hard-fotight battlo Of Rcsacca ended ip the rebel army hastily rotreating across the Coosa river. Driven from ono point, tho enemy immediately occupied Othor works constantly being prepared in their roar by a corps? of colored laborers. No soonor would ono line of works bo occupiod by our troops, than directly in front was presented another (series of formidable earthworks, covered with bayonets and crowned with artillery.*

In this manner the enomy disputed every inch of ground. Every step taken in advanco from Tunnel Hill to A.tlania and from Atlanta south'sixty miles toXovejoy Station was taken by our gallant army undor tho most galling firo, and at every point in that advanco the enemy expected tho rosult of every contest to bo tho discomfituro of our forces.

On this campaign tho battlos of Calhoon, Of Adairsvilloj of Kingston, of Cassville, of Allatoon Pass, of New Hope Church, of Dallas, of Ilightowor, of tost Mountain, of Big Shanta, of Kcnnnsaw Mountain, of Smyrna, of Wynan's Station, of Chattahooehio River, of Bull's Hond, of Peach-tree Creek, tho battles in front of Atlanta, tho si,ego of Atlanta, tho battlo of West Point, of Rough and Ready, of Jonesborough and of Lovojoy Station woro fought, all bringing lustro and victory to tho Fedoral arms. Atlanta fell into our possession, the iron circle wias broken, and tho fato of the Confederacy sealed.»

But:all this gain to our cause was only gained by tho severest hardships and suffering by our gallant army.— To effect this, onr bravo boys were ono hundrod and twenty days constantly under the galling firo of the enemy. They fought, slept, ato and marched with whizzing balls and hissing shells and thugging shot always ffllingtha'air and thinning their ranks. The sound of war and the smoke of battle never loft them. One hundred and twenty days driving the enemy one-hundred and sixty miles! or advancing steadily only at tho rate of one mile and a quarter per day. 4

During all this,long and arduous campaign, Lieutenant Nicholson was constantly with his -command, doing yeoman service in the causo of our country. Al*Kennosaw Mountain he was promoted to Captain of his battery, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Captain Dunning, a galljftnt officer, who was killed in that action whilo nobly commanding his bat

j\yhcn Genoral Hood flanked our army at Atlanta, Gen. Shorman, with tho main portion of his army, pursued him to Daltgn and"then down into tho Blue Mountains of Alabama. Deeming further porsuit useless, Gen. Sherman rested his army threo days at Galesville,, Alabama, and in the moantime matured his plans for the famous campaign that culminated in the fall of Savannah and tho surrender of Johnson. At tho timo of taking up his lino of march for Savannah, Sherman sent Gon. Thomas, with the gallant old 4th and the vigorous 23d corps, around to Pulaski, Tennessee, to resist the advanco of Hood's army to Nashville. Capt. Nicholson, having attracted tho notice of Gen. Cooper by his distinguished sorvices during tho Atlanta campaign, was taken from tho command of his battery and placed upon that General's staff as Chief of Artillery.

While Thomas' army fol! back on Nashville, at the'engagomonts which took' place at Columbia and Spring Hill and at the Waterloo defeat of Hood at Franklin, the artillery under Captain Nicholson was splendidly managed, and in tho battles in front of Nashville and in pursuit of Hood's army across the Tennessee, Captain Nicholson won tho highest commendations from his commanding Goneral.

After Hood, with his broken dispirited and ruined army, took refuge with its fragments in tho Blue Mountains of Alabama, tho 23d Army Corps took transports at Eastport and moved by the way of Pittsburg and Washington City to Newborn, North Carolina, and rejoined Sherman at Goldsburg. -The 22d battery, with tho 23d Army Corps, remained with Sherman, participating in all tho actions of that army until after.J.ohnsoo's surrender. Captain Nicholson was thon plaeed on duty at Kaleigh,North Carolina, where ho remained until ordered homo to be musterod out of tho service, the war

iii

being virtually over. It will bo seen from tho forogofng afepountthat Captain E. W. Nicholson entored the scrvice ad-jt privato, at tho beginning of tho rebellion, and that li© devoted all his bd8j£$norgies to th!o cause of his country during tho whole period of that terriblo_war.^ It will also "be 'scoiTiEM^Ii^sOTvl^^Si^f a vory high order, commanding promotion and distinction in tho army.

The Captain, in drill, discipline and military government, was cool, firm, couragoous ,but Always humane. AH who had the good forlunoto bo placod under his command aWard him tho highest praifso for his caro and consideration of them. His military rceord is of tho highest honor. His conduct in camp, in bivouac, bri the march, on the battle fioldj everywhere and under all circumstancos, doservos our greatest praise. His example teaches z\ patriotic lesson to those who aro to succeed us ,upon tho stage.of action.— He is indeed a fair illustration of the character of the bravost and best of American citizori-soldiors.

The robellion suppressed, and hip servicos no longer required in tho field to uphold pur Government,' quietly laying aside tho ensignia of office and the emblems of rank, woakoned by tho toils, sufferings and hardships encountered in his' efforts tb preserve tp us and to coming generations tho blessings of a united Govornmont, Captain Nicholson roturned to tho more congenial pursuits of peaco. Not only at the close of tho war did ho find his health impaired,' but ho also found that his sorviuo to his country had boon to him a great pecuniary sacrifico. Tho soldior in the front is paid in tho plaudits of his countrymen for all ho risks and toils. It is only tho shark that follows the army to imposo on its necessities, Or tho contractor that swindles tho Goverhmotit in the hour ol her trial, who mako money. The soldier's pay hardly contributes to his necessities in tho field. The bravo, Courageous and faithful devotion of Captain Nicholson to the caueo of his country in tho hour of hor trial, the excollenco and virtues of his private life, unite with his raro business talents and energy to rendor it peculiarly appropriate that ho should bo triumphantly clectod to tho offico for which ho has boon nominated. His election will bo regardod by his lato comrades in arms as convincing proof of the sincerity of tho psofessions of lovo for the soldier so freely given by their friends at home when theso soldiers stood as invincible walls between them and danger Should ho bo clcctcd Clork of tho Court of Montgomery county at tho approaching election, tho interests of the peoplo will bo as closely guarded and as safe in his hands in that position, as your safety was when dopending upon such true and trusty soldiers in the times that tried men's souls. -,r

NOAH W. GRIMES, our candidate for Auditor, has been so long and so fuvorably known to tho .pooplo of Montgomery county, that it is scarcely necessary for us to speak of him in this article. Ho has boon long ongagod in business in our county, has had business transactions wi#h hundrods of the peoplo who aro now inviiod to cast tboir ballots for him, and wo vonturo tho assertion that none of them ever found him to be anything but an honest, fair-dealing and incorruptible man. He possesses fino business capacity, and is in overy way eminontly qualified to mako a first rato Auditor.

TAYLOR BUFFINGTON, our present excellent county commissioner, who has beon ro-nominatod for tho position, has so well dlschargod his duty during the timo ho has sorved, that no words of ours can add to his desorvod popularity. He has been over watchful of the the interests of jtho county, and aimed to do what he folt best for tho county as a whole, as ho was in duty bound to do. A public officor must look to tho good of tho public, and pursue a course that will subserve tho public interosi rather than tho mere interest of individuals or localities and if any complain of Taylor Bufiington's acts as one of the guardians of tho county's intor-. est, it is bocauso ho haa sought the good of the wholo and hot. a part— And this, instead of being urgod agaiust .him, with most peoplo who mean to do what is right, will be his highest recommendation Hejhas provod himself a competent and faithful officcr, and should by all means bo reelected, and, we doubt not, will bo.,,

It is estimated by' good authorities that the increased yield of this year's :crops over last year, will bo moro than equal to tho aggregato sum required by the Government in tho form of taxes. To that extent the value of Our exports will bo incroased.: Wo shall get that much more monoy in exchange for products, and this,addition will necessarily tend to financial oaso and

stability. ?v

Not long since, a youth [older in wit than years, after being catechized con corning the power of Nature, replied: "Ma, thore is one thing I think naturo can't do. She can't make Bill-Jones' mouth any bigger without setting his ears back.'' vi"'

^laln Facts for Tax-Payers. [t should bo borne in mind b^ every tax-payer of tho Nation thfitthe enormous burden of debt under which the country Is staggering^ was fixed upon it by a robollibn f^jstered and atrengthHjnod by the Denwcritic j&lrty.

It should bo borno fta mind that this debt was enormously increased by tho aid. and .comfort given to the rebellion wfiife in progress, by the'Dombcratic party, whore by tho rebels were enco,uj^agod-: to prolong the' ^ruggle against the Union armies, after all other reasonablo hope of success had been extinguished^, 4 ...

It should bo boriie ip mind that the debt df'tho Natiort \vas still-farther increased by-tha efforts oi the Democratic party to., cripple and destroy tho public credit, in tho midst of tho strugg'lb for national national existence-,'and that the national bonds were thereby forced to hoavy discount in contracting loans with which to carry on the war, and tho ,.na,tional currency was thus, largely' reduced bolow its truo value in go'ld:, thereby adding enormously to the cost of all material purchased for tho-use of tho Government.

It should'bo borno in mind by overy tax-payer of tho Nation, that tho Democratic party stands plodged to secure compensation to the slavehocling r'obols for ovcry slavo set freo by the Emancipation Proclamation, thus adding animmensp and unjust.burden to tho already onerous taxation under which tho country groans.

It should bo borno in mind, that all tlib Democratic members in the IIouso of tho fortieth Congress, have placed themselves upon their record by tho votes, in favor of the- monstrous proposition that thoN ational' government is liable," under tho BtconslrUttion laws, for every dollar of-the Sttcte debts of all tho States in rebellion.

It shou!d be borne in mind, by every tax-payer, that tho Democratic party, through its orators and' writers for tho pross, ia-committod to tho unhoardof proposition that tho Confederate war debt, contracted in tho iniquitous strugglo to overthrow tho National Govornmont, is justly chargeablc ngainst the Governmdnt,1 and that this party only waits tho success of its insidious attempts to regain power, to fasten this debt upon the people of tho United States.

It should bo borno in mind by every tax-payer, that the Democratic party has made porsistent and strenuous 0fforts to injuro both public and pri vato credit, and bring on,a financial crisis, such as will make it' impossible for tho Nation to meet is obligations promptly, thus carrying wido spread ruin throughout tho country, and roducing to beggary thousands of widows orphans and other worthy persons whoso littlo all is invostcd in government bonds, for tho redomtion of which tho faith of tho Nation is plodgod.,

It should bo borne in mind by overy tax-payer that the. Democratic party persistently opposes evovy effort made to lighten the public burden, by lovying duties upon foreign imports, thus requiring foreign capitalists and traders who havo tho bonefit of our markots to bear a small sharo of our burden in return./ and at tho samo timo protect our homo manufacturers from the deadly competition of tyeign capital is.ts who grow fat upon th0 proccods of pauper labor."'

It should bo borno in mind most espocially by woolgrowers and tax-pay-op?, ,that, tho Democratic party Jias always and most stronjiously* struggled to prevent foreign "woolgrowers from contributing anything to lighten tbo burden of taxation, and that every bemocrntic member of both Houses of Congress has mot overy attempt to protect th 0 great woolgro wing intorest of the country with tho most deadly hostility and that thoy havo thus, whilo prating of tho enormous profits mado by the manufacturers of New England, played directly into tho hands of thoso manufacturers, without oven the lamo excuse of saving to the consumor in the prico of tho product and all this thoy havo done whilo overy .Republican. member of Congress gavo voice and vote to the.passage of an act to protoct tho woolgrowers, and at tho samo timo protect (ho consumor by disconnecting tho wool tariff from all other tariffs, for the benefit of the manufacturers.

And.finally, it should bo borne in mind by every tax-payor, and ovory patriot who has iho good of tho country at heart, that tho speakers of tho .Democratic party openly avow that their hopo for tho success of that party lios only in financial disaster to the country, whether caused by f^yuro oi vsrops, or by the discrediting of tho national curroncy, by. proventing the

Nation from meeting its obligations, or howcvor resulting.

ASSASSINATION OF LOPEZ TIIE BETRAYER OF MAXJMILLIAK.—A lettor gives the following dotails of tho. assassi nation of Lopez, who botrayed Maximilian: "I arrived here to-day, and learned the startling nows of the assassination of tho traitor Lopez. The particulars of tho assassination are as follows, Lopez was standing at a hotel in Pub'la, where his wifo spumed him from hor presonco. .. Early pno morning a Mexican arrived, and familiarized himsolf with an ostlor in a livery stable adjoining the hotel. Gonoral Migrict Lopez was inquired for not being in the strangor was told that tho General would boat dinner. Beforo tho din-, nor hour Lopoz returned, and was pointed oit to tho strangor. who made special note ofliis man. When dinner was called Lopez and his assassin occupied'.'oppositescats at the table ilfter some minutes, during which tingic the stranger called for and drank'a glass of winej ho deliberately rose, drew a concoalod knifo and sprang upon Lopez, and stabbed him nine times. Tho stranger then took hid hat and as he started to leave, said: "This is tho way all traitors should bo paid." No one intorforred or

proven tod tho

assassin from leaving:'' Thus was tho blood of Maximilian, Miramon, Mejia, yesl and thousands of others avongod..

GENERAL GRANT'S lettor to Mr. STANTON announcing his assignment to the dutips of Acting Secretary of War, is a hamlsome compliment to tho fidelity and patriotism of tho retiring Secretary in the discharge of the responsibilities of tho office he had so long filled and wo take it as an indication that tho line of policy ho has pursuod meets tho approval of Gonoal Grant, and that the administration of the War Department will not bo essentially modified by the- suspension of, Mr. Stanton.

Domocra'tic newspapers aro busy cyphering the enormous taxation now, in comparison with what it was beforo tho war. That is right. It saves us radicals a deal of troublo. We want those figuros: Pilo thorn up, the highor tho hotter for us. All this immenso taxation was mado noccssary to maintain tho Union against treason. Either tho taxation is .right or tho treason was. Wo sustain tho just taxation. If tho domocracy want to sustajn tho unjust troason let them say it right out like men, and quit their claim ofstanding by the war for.the Union.

EXTRACT OF A LETTEtt ^Providence, Ala., May 13, 18^6.

Dr. John Bull:

The Union Pacific

Rail Road Co.

THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS As an Investment.,

The rapid progress of tho Unlop Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming,, with its western connections, an unbroken line across the continent, attracts attention to theivaluo of the First Mortgage Bonds which the (Company now offer to tho public. Tho first question asked by prudent investors is, "Are theso bonds sccurp?'.' Noxt, "Are they a profitable investment?" To roply in brief: 1st. Tho early completion of tho whole great lino to the Pacific is as certain as any fnture business event can be. Tho Government grant of over twenty million aores of land and fifty million dollars in its-own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth of the work is already done, nnd the track continues to be be lahl at the rate of two miles a day. 2d. Tho Union Pacific Railroad bonds aro issued upon what promises to bo tho most profitable lines of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific and having no competition, it can maintain remunerative rates. 3d. 425 miles of this road are finished,, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars,&c., and two trvins are running daily each way. Tho materials for the remaining 92 miles to {the^castern baso of the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and it is undsr contract to bo done in September. 4th* The net earnings of tho sections already finished aro tcveral timet greater than the gold interest upon tho First Mortgage bonds upon such sections, and if not another milo of the road was built, tho part already completed would not only pay interest^ and expensos, but be profitable to the Company. £th.-The. Union-Pacific Railroad .bonds can be issued only as the road progresses, arid therefore can never be in the- market unlcgs they represent a

Icnn fide

property.

6th. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the U. S. Government,, and fo.r,.^toh it MilLf&n^tc{ioiyi lien as its security. -This ambumt upon the first 517hnilcs west from Ofiiaha -jB- only^ifijltOdper nfffe. 7th. The fact that the- U. S. Government considers a-Mco&d lien upon the road a good investment, ^and that sorne of the -vhrewd.est railroad builders of the country have already^paid in fivo million dollars upon the stock fWhich'is .to them a third lien), may well inspire eonfidenoe In a first

8th. Although it is not claimed-that there can bo any better securities than Government, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such property ns this the very best socurity in tho world, ap3 who sell their Governments tofo invest in these bonds—thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for tho prosent at 90 cents on the dollar and accurcd intorest, they aro tho cheapost security in the market, being more than 15 por cent. ICJS than U. S. Stocks.

IQth. At tho current rato of premium on gold, thoy pay

Over iVInc per Cent. Interest. The daily subscriptions are alroaily large, and they will continue to bo received in New York by tho

Only ten years havo olapsod :*incc the discoverer (who spent a decado in studying experiments, and perfecting it) first introduced it to tbo public, and it is already recognized by the most

eroinont

pbysicians in all part*

of tho country, to be the most surprising and effective romcdy for ccrtain diseases of which they havo knowledge.

All other Compounds or Syrups of this root have hitherto Tailed to command tho sanction- of Faculty, because on being tested, they have been found to contain noxous ingredients, which nutralize the good

effect

of the Sarsaparilla, and

oftentimes injuro tho health of tho patient. It is not so with Hurley's preparation. This is the puro and genuine extract of tho root, and will, on trial, be found to efTect a scertain and porfect cure of the following complaints and diseases:

Affections of the Bones, Habitual Costivencss, Debility, Diseases of the Kulneys, Dyspepsia, Erysipilas, Female Irregularities, Fistula, all Skin Dseases, Liver Complaint, Jnditjestion, Piles, Pulmonary Diseases, Syphilus, Scrofula or Kinfs Ecll.
