AUG. 22, 1855. GOT. JOHXrOJTS RETURN TO THE CAIPTAL. Tho excitement of the late canvass and the importance attached to the brilliant victory achieved by The People were strongly exhibited in the enthusiasm of Gov.

Joiiksos's reception at the points along the line of his route to Nashville at which he wassbleto make even a few minutes' delay. Gov. Johkson left Greeneville last Thursday, and arrived ti Knoxvilie on Friday. "We happened to be at thatDlace on his arrival, on a shcrt excursion of rest from political care, and our return home wjs in company with the Governor. We therefore lad a favorable opportunity of witnessing the earnrcit enthusiasm of which we have spoken.

The late whlcswbo are now know-nothings, pronounce the whig party dead and the renegade democrats who have joined the same organization have as confidently pronounced the death of their old party. For the whig party we ehall not attempt to sprak. The late election, howevpr, has proved the Democratic Party to be still lathing. Any person who will travel through the State at this time will de- clare that the Party of the People looks very little like a a corpse. If, as we have been told, it has been dead, it has been roused to a glorious resur reclton.

It has all its pristine strength and vigor; its pulses beat healthily; and those who have been foolish enough to think it a corpse tan see, if tbey will look, that "JOn the cold cheek of death smiles and roses are blending, And beauty immortal ewal.es from the tomb. The democracy of Knoxvilie were ontin good force. They formed procession, and with trans parencies and torch lights marched through the city. Arrived at the City Hotel, they were ad. dressed by Col.

JorrN R. Kelsoh, the venerable whig Senator from Knox in the last Legislature. Col. Nelsoh spoke some time in his usual style of good sense and nervous eloquence. Referring to the length of time he had been a whig, he said he would not go with that party into the ranks of know-noihiDginn, but was willing and determined to help the democracy to put it down.

Gov. Johnson then spoke for more than an hour, renewing the main features of the canvass which had just closed, and warmly acknowledging the aid which the democrats had received from thousands of whigs in its recent severe but triumphant strng gle with the know-nothing party. Some attempt cd disturbances of the meeting to be regretted principally n3 injuriously affecting the character of Knoxvilie were yet not sufficient seriously to in terropt the speeches, and the jubilee passed off to the eutire satisfaction of the democrats and whig! of the city. Gov. John-sok left Kooxviile early on Saturday morning, and arrived at Dalton, in Georgia, at 10 o'clock.

In anticipation of his arrival, a large crowa of people had assembled. Gov. Johnson ad dressed this crowd at the court-house in speech two hours in length, and we have never, on any occasion, heard him speak to better advantage. His speech was almost exclusively devoted to know- nothingism, nnd he exposed and held up the odious and abhorrent features of the monster in a style of surpassing eloquence and power. Our Georgia friends were delighted, and expressed themselves as no longer surprised at the invincibility of the Tennessee champion.

Gov. Jonspos arrived at Cbattsnooga on Satur day evening, and remained over until Monday morning. On Saturday evening a large crowd as sembled in front of the Crutchfield House. This crowd was first addressed by the Hon. Barclay Maetin.

whoee capacity to tomahawk Sam was fully developed. Col. Maetin said that during the canvass be had refrained from making any speeches. because of the position he occupied as a public officer. But now that the battle had been fought and the victory won he claimed the right to rejoice with the r-Eor-LE on the great triumph which they had achieved.

He was proceeding to explain and expound the mystery of the modern iniquity, when he rvas interrupted by the hideous noises of a gang of know nothings, stationed in the vicinity. Col Martin bore with these fellows as long as forbearance could be considered a virtue, and then he proceeded to discuss them. He literally scalped them and finished his speech in quiet. Gov. Johnson spoke one hour and a half at Chattanooga, the audience paying profound attention.

As at other points, he devoted the whole of bis speech to kec w-nothingism. His election killed the monster, and it was his duty to bury it. On his route to Nashville, on Jlonday, there were gatherings of the people at most of the Tennessee stations, some of which were briefly addressed by the Governor. Arrived at Nashville, he W33 received at the depot by a ve ry large concourse of people. Gov.

Johnson spoke to this crowd for a few minutes, and was then escorfrd to his lodgings at the Nashvilie Inn. After supper, some two thousand persons assembled in front of the Inn, and called for the Governor. He spoke about an hour, the know-nothings attempting by all sorts of noises to interrupt him and prevent him from being heard. This game is now so regularly jilayed. that it may be one of the things which the revised ritual swears the members to do.

We recollect no democratic meeting at night, since the adoption of the Philadelphia platform, which has not been insulted and interrupted by the know-nothings. These interruptions are so systematic, and the style of the noise3 generally an imitation of the braying of jackasses ia so unij form, as to lead to the belief that the sort of noise to be made, as well as the interruption itself, is laid down in the new edition of the bluo book. The Governor's speech was, however, heard through-out by all who wanted to hear, and a more severe Manning than know-nothingism received wa3 never witnessed. Col. Mahhn, John K.

Howaed, and R. G. Patne, "being loudly called on, each addressed the crowd in briefasd eloquent speeches. TVe have time for no report of their remarks, and must close by saying that the route of Governor Johnson to Nashville, and his reception here, exhibited a vitality and energy of the Partt or the People which proves our institutions safe, and which shows that John Nelson, in his speech at Knoxvilie, did not say too much when he thanked Gjd that know-nothingism, the creature of the night, had been emasculated by the people in open day light. It is last 103iDg even the ability to Iray.

TEXAS ELECTION. A letterfrom Galveston, dated August 10th, says: "Our election for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Congress and Legislature, came off on the 16th instant. The counties, ten or twelve in number.so far as heard from, embrace some of the know-nothing strorgholds, including the present and late res-idence of Sam Houston, where he has long been allpower-ful. The returns prove that Sam is down at home the vote about balanced in his own county, (Washington,) and he carries bis late county, (Walker) by barely 40 votes. Bell, Democrat, is undoubtedly re-elected to Congress, by a large vote.

Wc think Pease, Democrat, is re-elected Governor." Another letter, a day later, say: Partial returns from ten or twelve count hp, embracing some know-no hing strongholds, indie ite the election of the entire Democratic State ticket, by a large majority." WAsnncoTov. August 10. 1855 Messrs. Editors Union and American: Having I explained to you in a private note the reason of mv silence for some time past, I now resume. Thn nfiws hv the America.

Cunard steamer at milfW fi vn davs later and of greai interest The allied forces have not as yet waited ngnt imu c- bastopol as they hsva been menacing to do lor some time past, but had resumed the bombardment, and accoiding to one giving out, were about to make the grand assault by land and sea. According to another version, called the latest, they were about to raise the siege, and make some grand exposition elsewhere. This last remove I do not believe. I think tbey mean to try their foitunc once more in an attempt to storm. We are net sufficiently post ed here as to the particular circumstances of each party, to be enabled to give a very probable opinion on the result; reasoning on general facts, I should say the probabilities are against success.

But the allies are in a situation that requires them to strke some important blow in order that their arms may retain something of the prestige gained at the Alma. I think, therefore, the demonstrations before Sebastopol are sericu3 and not intended to cause any movement upon another point, so as to take the Russians by surprise. If the report from Germany be well founded, which must be of an unfavorable character to the allies if true, they have to act before Sebastopol with all possible promptitude. That news is under the head of "the latest, that a communication has been received irom Germany by the Western Powers of startling in terest." It is also stated that private advices lrom Lombardy via Tenico indicate that important events are nearly ripe there, and that exciting news may be shortly expected from that quarter. And if we consider that the events of lSi8 have sown the seeds that must grow up in no long time into a crop of iuaurrections against the existing Governments of Europe, the intelligence does by no means seem improbable.

The French and English Governments already heavily loaded with debt are still going into it deeper and yet deeper. The new French loan of seven hundred and fifty millions of francs or about one hundred and thirty millions of dollars has been taken. Three thousand millions were offered. The Queen has sent a message to Parliament asking additional provision for the war, which resulted in the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposing to issue seven millions sterling of exchequer bills, (Treasury notes) Rumors were in circulation that Spain would send a contingent to the Crimea, but it was considered doubtful. It was also reported that in consideration of this contingent, she would ask for a territorial guaiantee, including Cuba.

I remark that if Spain proves to be a conting ent as reported, the allies will hare to bear the chief expense. Doubtless, in ten days more we may look for developments of yet greater importance. Ion, of the Sun, under date of August 14th, savs of this contest It is more than a tear. It is the first phase of an historical epoch. The war, terrible as it is, has been just commenced." This is in substance, but with less of detail, what I have myself said several months ago.

SrLPicica. PUBLIC MEETING. At a meeting of a portion of the Democracy of Dickson county, Tennessee, held atNoERis' Yellow Creek, August 11, 1855, for the purpose of making arrangements for a free Barbecue and Mass Meeting of the Democracy of Dickson and the adjoining counties, to celebrate the late glorious triumphant re-election of ANDREW JOHNSON as chief Executive of Tennessee, at which, Maj. Wm. S.

Fentress waj called to the chair, and D. B. Street was appointed Secretary On motion of J. W. Shelton, Dr W.

A. Moodt, in a brief and pertinent speech, explained the object of the meet ing, happily and forcibly alluding to the character of the canvass, through which we have just passed, and dealing some heavy bio vs on SiMU-E-L: from which it appears, that the aforesaid Sam died on the 2d instant Whereupon, the chairman ap pointed Dr. W. A. Moodt, J.

W. Shelton, H. Rogers and A. Jones, a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of this meeting, in relation to the late canvass in Tennessee, who presented the following, which were unanimously adopted Resolved, That the Democracy of Tennessee, have at all times, raised a bold and uncompromising opposition to all political error, come from what source it may but in the late canvass, they deserve all praise for the promptness and energy wiihjvhich tbey vanquished King Samuel, alias knowptbirg- lsm. Resolved, That the thanks of the Democracy of Tennessee, and of the Nation, are due his Excel lency, Awdbew Johnson, for his bold and able ex-posure of the hydra-headed monster, know-noth icgism, which seeks to palsy the will of the people, and subject it to the dictation of a self-constituted, secret, oath-bound, anti-republican council, that is irresponsible to the people, at variance with the spirit and genius of our republican institutions, and of dangerous tendency.

Resolved, That the thanks of the Democracy of Tennessee, are due the editors of the Union and American, and the democratic press of the State, and the many distinguished Democrats, and Old Silver-grey Whig3, who took the stump, and did able service in producing the glorious result, which has crowned us with success. Resolved, Tbat we feel sorry, that any portion of the Democracy deserted their ancient and time- honored flag, and went cfi to serve strange (and we would advise them to return to their first love); but we feel proud, that a respectable portion of the old line Whigs joined us, 6nd assisted in driving Sam back to his den in the North. Resolved, That the thanks of the Democracy are due to the Ladies, who are always first in every enterprise for the good of the country, many of whom wielded much influence, in producing the late Democratic victory in Tennessee. Resolved, That we have a GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY AND FREE BARBECUE, at the mouth of Bear Creek, on Yellow Creek, on the 20th day of September next, for the purpose of celebrating the late victory in Tennessee; at which all parties are invited to attend, and also the Ladies are especially invited.

Lex DEMOCRATIC MEETING IX CAMPBELL COUNTY. On hearing of the election of Gov.

3nd pursuant to a short previous notice, a large and respectable portion of the democracy of county met in Jacksboro' on SUurday the llthiof August, 1855, who, about three o'clock- in the evening, formed a procession, headed by some ex cellent music, and after marching through tho town, occasionally as they marched firing off some well charged guns and muskets prepared for the occasion, they convened at the Courthouse, when, on motion, Capt. John Ryan was called to the Chair, and Dr. G. M. Kerns appointed Secretary.

Whereupon the Chairman appointed Col. Samuel Ryan, S. D. Queener, and W. H.

Malone, a Committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting, who, after retiring a short time, the following resolutions were read by W. H. Malone on the part of the Committee: Resolved, That we hail, with pleasure and glad ness, the recent triumphant and glorious victory in Tennessee by the re-election ot the Honorable Andrew to the office of Governor. Resolved, That we consider the recent brilliant victory as a triumph of the long-tried principles of the democratic party over the intolerant and proscriptive policy of the whig party, now known as know-nothingism. Resolved, That we look upon the present dark lantern organization of know-notbingism as a mere pretext of the old whig party to effect, if possible, the overthrow of the demccratis party, and as a scramble for the "loave3 and fishes" without re gard to merit or qualification.

Rtsolvcd, That we consider any secret oath bound organization as nurepablicm and dangerous, and contrary to the very genius and spirit of our free republican government. Resolved, That we heartily declare our united adherence to the principles of the democratic party as taught by Jefferson, Madison and and as carried out by Franklin our honest able and distinguished Chief Executive of the ns tion aud as acquiesced in and sanctioned by the millions of the free-thinking and free-acting citizens of the Republic; that these principles ft'one will in sure the stability of the government and promote its advancement to prosperity, to eminence and to political glory. Resolved, That we protest against the intolerant fanatical and proscriptive policy of this new faagh parly; that the same is wrong aud unconstituticn a', and calculated to subvert the very existence and perpetuation of a free republican form of sovern- ment. Resolved, That we will use our best efforts, by all honorable and fair means, to premote the, triumph of our principles thu3 avowed, and the speedy downfall of this midnight fraternity whose princi pies and objects are so odious to freemen and dangerous to liberty. Resolved, That the democratic party, slyl lives with all the vigor, efficiency and fcoiiysr.cy of bygone days; that the cry that "the democratic party is dead" is absurd and false, ami we regard it as coming from the whig hwia-nothing partjf.

for the detestiblo purpose of deceiving aud hood-mnking the honest and unsuspecting into this new cjmpuct of conspiracy and leligious intolerance! Resohid, That the thank3 and gratitude of the democracy of the nation are due to th Honorable Andrew Johnson for his bold, talented, and independent defense of our principles in thoroc-nt cr.n-vass for Governor; that without dipargement to the claims of many other worthy heroes of our party, we consider Gov. Jliisson the suitable and proper champion to carry ocr bar.nr.r on to victory in the contest for President in 185G. When, on motion, these resolutions were unanimously adopted by loud' Ijuf.zjs and and Malone, being called for, appeared on the stand, and for half an ho'ir "poured grape into the know nothing ranks," illustrating their plans and workings by an occasional anecdote to the no little amusement and satisfaction of the crowd, and closed amid many loud cheers for the mountain districts of Campbell, for Gov. and the National Democracy. And, on motion, it was Ordered, Tbat these proceedings bo sent to the Union and Ameeican and the Kkcxville Standard with the request for their publication.

The crowd then retired from the Court-house, and until some time after night the hills were made to echo by the booming of guns and musketry. in the meantime had gone back to his hole." Jons Rtan, Chairman. G. M. Kerns, Secretary.

From tho Brownsville Flag of the 4th we extract the following: The insurgents under Gen. Viduarri, have met and defeated Gens. Cruz and Guitian, of the government trooas. The fight took placa at Saltillo, on tho 22 and 23d ulL The official account of the conflict, from Gen. Viduarri, we have before us It does not give the number of troops engaged on either side, but states thnt the fight commenced by an attack on the p'aza at half-past 8 o'clock on the morning of the 22d, which lasted all that day, most of the niht and all the morning of the 23d, which resulted in taking twot artillery, and patting to flight the entire division of the regular forces, who were pursued by the insurgents, with the hope of capturing some $00,000 which the defeated generals bore with them in their retreat.

The engagfrnont is said to have been obstinate aDd bloody. The loss on tho side of the insurgents is jriven at one hundred "dlled and wounded. Gen. Vuiaurri hss published a proclamation to his followers, which is also before ns, dated at Saltillo, on the 21th in whic'i he reminds them of all their victoties; points to the comparative ease with which they have taken the naturally strong towns of Saltillo and Mcn'erey, though guarded by the flower of the army ol their oppressor. He tells them that the God of battles is with them, and they have only to persevere to secure their lost liberties.

The greatest enthusiasm is evident among the Liberators, and everything pronrses success. Garza, Cap-istran and Sayas are still in the vicinity of Mata-morns with a force variously estimated at from six to twelve hundred men. It is not probab'e, however, that Mataraoras will be attacked before tie expiration of some weeks yet, as we are informed by good authority that the entire insurgent army will unite for that purpose, and it will necessarily consume some week3 in accomplishing that end. In the meantime Gen. Woll we are told, is making preparation for their reception.

He has commenced clearing away the woods and shanties around the city, and otherwise preparing to receive his enemies. LARKS VILLE TOBACCO MARKET. Clacks ville, Angust 16, 1855. Sales by W. S.

An interesting fact is mentioned in this It was very dry last and ram enough did not (all to "freshen the lands that had been overflowed.

In consequence of this, the rice came up so slowly in the spring, that it was found nec-cessary to flood the lands and relieve them of the "selts.1 Thi3 "freshening" process was resorted to at a subsequent period, and with gratifying success on both occasions. The conclusion arrived from these experiments is, that if the water had been lot on the lands in winter, they might have been entirely relieved of the salt deposit left by the September storm, and thus prepared for the following crop. Planters will commence harvesting in about two weeks. We have seen one who expects to begin sometime next week, on Savannah river. The prospect of the Saa Island Cotton crop is also flattering though hardily so good as that of the rice crop.

In some localities the cotton has suffered and is still suffering from drought. There has been but little rain in this prortion of tho State, and along the sea board to the South, for some weeks.
