O'.terwiie, s' oul l be qlaJ to accommodate jour fiiei;d. Send ns llu SCctiirn. It is doirable that our friends in every county in the State, should make arrangements to pend us Jul? and correct returns of the Presidential election, at the earliest possible moment. It is our intention to issue prir.ed slips containing the latest news and we promise to reciprocate the kindness of our friends. (rrSome pungent allusions to the Editor of the State Journal have re-ently appeared in the State Sentinel. It would have been as well, perhaps, had these alluHions not been made. Personal allusions are hardly justifiable except as a measure of retaliation, and even in that case are of doubtful utility. If there be truth in them, they are apt to provoke wrathful fWdinps rather than to prove incentues to the exercise of better ones. The Journal, for instance, has had its equanimity disturbed by the allueions in question, and a few days ago sulTered itself to speak thus : "Unless the 'SentineP wishes certain reminiscences revived, it would do well not to indulge in the abusive language found in its last columns. Thero are instances where even the infamous character possessed by n common libeller hould r.ot hu a shield behind which to perpetrate offences with impunity." The reminiscences spoken of, we suppose refer to the infamous assaults of a farmer editor of the Journal. We have only to say in regard to the present t'trtut, that the Journal is at liberty to revive them us smn as it thinks it expedient, and upon the responsibility of its editor. The villain who originally uttered the libels it is well known was utterly irresjKjnsibhi in uny shape, being as rotten physically, as lie was morally and pecuniarily. He was finally hooted from this comuiunity as a detestable and most loathsome leper, afr.r having outlived even the pity of his most compassionate friends. If tho Journal thinks it expedient to make such a being its exemplar, it is welcome t d so, and to all the advantages which are to b; gained by it, under the condition already stated. We do not wish to be understood as either inviting or defying the editor of the Journal to a personal warfare, in regard to our respective merits or de merits. We are too old to be guilty of the folly f such a Course, systematically pursued. We merely mean, that while we shall sp'ak as freely as we like cf the Jmmal itelf, we shall avoid as a matter of cii ice, and not because of any fear of retaliation, any personal controversy with the editor of that paper in propria persona:. Dk. R. P. Adams has satisfactorily entertained respectable, audiences in this city for several evenings past, by his lectures on electricity, as applied to telegraphing and to various scuntifiic and mechanical uses. The lectures are illustrated by a small specimen of Professor Morse's telegraph, and several other beautiful instruments, which are worth seeing. We believe the Dr. lectures again this evening at the Court House. Go nnd hear him. We would call attention to the advertisements of Mr. P. C. Teal, Forwarding and Commission Merchant at the Railroad Depot. He assures us he has every facility to transact business in his line with entire satisfaction to his customers. He pays particular attention tu the tale and forwarding of Wheat end Flour. Dr. Jarne? P.itchey, tho democratic elector for this district, expects to be present with Mr. Owen, and address the people at Nashville, Franklin, and Co-lumbui.

Ohio Election. On Wednesd ay last, ns anticipated, tbo whig lies by telegraph, rl out the result ef ihe Ohio election, came pouring in thiol, and fast. By evening tho whigs Ind heard from 1 1 counties, in which they had an alleged pain if (l)U voir ov r lU lW umj'jrity. On Thursdny fvenini the Jotirtml jub!i?h 1 retunn from '.'0 counties nnd claims a whi gain iC 2, l-VJ. On Friday morning it published a df;-atch fioru iJaj--ton, in which these vhi lies d.vindlcd down to the paltry elaim of only tV0 whisj pain in 'M rouuties ! ! ! Lying despatches from Pennsylvania follow closely nfter those? from O!io, and we have no doubt the result will bo ti c same. The fact is, whiery is in itself nothing but false-bo-id and deception, and can only exist by the aid of low nri;ht lyinr. The latest returns from Ohio look much better for the Democracy thin we had anticipated. The Dayton despatch admits the prohibit; l;s of two whig Conpressmen, of the Taylor str'pe, we upjHse.; nnd it is well known that lord, the whig candidate for governor, refused to commit himself in favor of Tayhr. We Khali publish authentic returns as cmoii as wo pet then.. It would te vors than folly to occujy space with the Telegraphic whig lies which we have n doubt are intentionally fabricated for the encouragement of Taylor whiggery. Let the Democrats take care not to be deceived by such falsehoods, and see, if they can, that honest u bigs arc not. OrThe State Journal is hereafter to be published diiihj instead of tri-weekly. We hope the experiment will be profitable to the pockets of the publishers ; but we can't see how the whips can stand such an infliction. A tri-weekly dose was hard to swallow ; the daily one therefore, perhaps wisely, has been ensmal'eJ. Some amendment, however, is pro inised, which we hp will not be forgotten by the Editors. They say In pivinp the news of the day, we shall do all in our power to arrive at the truth, and shall never knowingly mislead our readers to effect any purpose whatever." If this promise be lived up to in any degree, it will b? highly creditable to thJ character of the Journal for veracity. The reform is certainly needed, for we do not at this moment remember an instance, in the case of political news, when false intelligence was at all likely to be of advantage to the whig party, in which the truth his been tjld by the Journal. Our own August election is an instance of its want of fairness and honesty : the more recent elections in (Jeorgia and Florida, are still later instances of the same sort. Even in this very number of the Journal, thus promising amendment, an attempt is made to continue the faNc impressions a? to Georgia, by asserting that "the popular vote is so close that each party claims it." The Journal knows better, nnd

ought not so soon to have forgotten its prumiso "nc 1111 itii vcr knowtt.gly t mislead its readers. I crlnps wc are too severe in this criticism ; but we disclaim any ill-natured feeling, for it is undoubtedly hard, if we may believe their own confessions, for an old sinner to eradicate bad habits all at once. We will not he captious, but will endeavor to aid our neighbor in his good resolutions, by kindly chiding him when he, perhapä unconsciously, backslides. Gtx. Tavi.oi:'s Pketekkme fok Tnoops fko.m Slave-holding States. In IS 10, there were sixteen volunteer regiments encamped on the Rio Grande. The following repiments were from Slave .'Id Indiana, 1st, JJ, and 3d Ohio S. With this equal reprer ntatiidi in troops, the Free States had a right to expect pomething near un equal representation in the battle of Monterey, but he said "no more liId eifHcers from north of Mason and Dixon's line," and was determined that it should be so. In moving up the troops from Camp LMknap to Camargo, Gen. Taylor took all the eight regiments from the Slaveholdinsr States, and only the 1st and 2d Ohio regimerits from the Free States ; but shortly afterw ards one of the Illinois regiments was ordered to Camargo. In moving forward to Monterey, Gen. Taylor took with him the Mississippi Riflemen, Raltimore Battalion, Louisville Legion, nnd 1st Tennessee, four regiments from Slave-holding States, besides the Texan Rangers, and only tme, the 1st Ohio, from a Free State. Facts like these, simple though undeniable, truly indicate the strong prejudices which General Taylor lias always manifested against the Free States i nd their citizens. Yet Ihe Doughface uhigs, hound like, crouch humbly at the foot which kicks them. Verily, they are as degraded as the Mexicans themselves. As nttempts have been made to destroy confidence in 'IVlegraph reports, it is but proper to gay, that tho telegraph and its agents are no more responsible tor thern than is the coach that carries the mail, for what the newspapers contain." iSlale Journal. Isn't that a beautiful specimen of logic What j does it mean! Apparently this: the Telegraph is j e.,.,,..t;i,.i i it; I.., ! iili'.ioiinu, u'..tiuot. 1 i.uiiiri.-i lunc 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 llil, , uui . . . , ,- I,, ii. It ought not to be discredited, because they only who use it are blameworthy, i"t the inanimate wires. 1 The Telegraph, in other words , doe s not tell lirs of its own vo.itiou, but i made to do so involuntarily, erg", it is entitled to belief, though it lies! This is a very profound paradox, to say ihe least. We tdiall not be surprised to see our neighbor ne.xt attempting to pplit a hair betwixt the South and eow'-west side! The Cheat Whiu Dhmonstuatiow The whigs have been exerting themselves to the utmost of their power, to get up a State Mas Meeting ut tliis place on the 1-lth, but it proved a perfect fizzle, so far as numbers and enthusiasm are concerned. There was certainly not over three hundred people, large and email, old and young, whigs und democrats, on the ground at any one time during the day. As we went to prcs yesterday evening Caleb R. Thrnith was hold forth in the State Houe yard toabou a hundred wearied listeners. It's useless to preach Tuylorism here it will not go down. Qr A friend at Lafayette write us as follows: All right in Ibis region, and you may rely upon it, Cass and Untier will get a much larger majority in the 8ih district, than Polk and D. got in IS 11. Say f00 more, certain." Another, writing from Jasper county, says Democracy is on the advance here ; Van RurcnUm is on the decline, and as for Taylor, he can't tdiinc." Ovsteks. Wo partook, by invitation, of a dish of fre.ih Oysters at the Citv Saloon on hist Saturday evening the first of the season. Wo can say to all lovers of hell fish, that the proprietors of the Saloon are decidedly some, in getting up an Oyster supper.Call and try for yourselves, und if you doi.'t find every thing right jui send us word. The Oysters will speak to epicures for themselves. Free Soil lianner. 0. K. Wc were tn, and can assure those fond of this luxury that the City Saloon is the place to get it. Uns. Wilms Hall.

Editor: As tdcriion returns will noon b pouring iu from all rpiaitrrs ol tlm country, I dtrtn it my duty to sny in advnm e, that, the Tclcrnph will not lie in anywia responsible. No telegrapher or other olIiTr ol any telejjrnph company is allowed to furnish news. They only transmit what i- brought to th in and paid for.

KIERSTED, Ttltgrophtr. It will be rcri from the above official notice, that what we have hertof re said of news by telegraph

is altogether trno. No reliance whatever can be - - " safely put upon it. This official ncknu -lodgment how ever was not needed to substantiate that fact, for the telegraph is daily furnishing instances in proof. The objert of the ' 'JYJegra pher " is, we presume, merely to relieve himself from the odium which, in the nb ense of the disclaimer, might bo wrongfully attached to him for the abominable and wholesale lies, with which the agents of whigpery almost monopolize the wires.

'I have on firmer occasions alluded to the depredations and outrages roinmithd by troops of this column. With every disposition to pren-nt their occurrence, atld the employment of every means iu my power to that rnd, the undisciplined character of a largo portion of the force has led to the commission of many jetty depredations nud occasional nets of violence? towards the Mexicans. With scarce? t an eject lion, and with none, in the latter class of offences, thrse have bem confined to volunteer troops." den. TitijJors letUr to the Adjutant General, third May 2..' 1017. See War Correspondence, Doc. No. GO. p. 1133. Had a loeofoco written a similar paragraph, it would have been trumpeted from Dan to Bershebi, and the whole whig pre-s would have been out upon him; but as it comes from Gen. Taylor, n t a word is said against it, and it is even urged by whips that volunteers ought to vote for the very man who represents them to be guilty of all the acts of violence, and the ptty depredations 44 with scarcely an exception. We despite the distinctions too frequently made between regulars and volunteers bv Gen. Taylor and other regular otTicers; but their unfair course j lias in a great measure compelled tho volunteers to ' agitate the matter in eclf-dcfmce. It is not to be ex-1 pected that men who entered the service at the call of . their country in time of war, can submit to all the taunt8 and insults of those regular oificers, who have
