I'roui the proceeding* of tho lute Con- Tention of the Republieaos of Tennessee to uouiiuate a candidate for Governor, have a pretty accurate exposition of the character of the party which rules that State. The mass of the honesty and patri otism of the State,are disfranchised, and ruled by llrownlovr's crew; and from all ac- ,-Duals, an intelligent and noble people were never before oppressed, robbed and insulted by so graceless a set of vagabonds, ignoramuses and blackguards. 1 heir con* dition is truly pitiable. We subjoin the following comments from the Ne.v York Herald, upon the proceed ings of the Tenuessee Radicals : These reports demonstrate that the con vocation was among the most disgraceful of any kind that ever assembled in the State. Its proceedings were marked by profane and vulgar declarations that would have caused those who uttered them to be thrown from the windows of a congregation of horse thieves and cuthroats. It is abso lutely humiliating to the whole American people that any political organization in a State in the Union should so outrageously conduct itsolfin its representative capacity ill a public hall. No term of opprobrium is too strong to apply to blackguards who befoul their party and their country as these Tennessee rad cals have just done.— Hut what is the cause of all this political de moralization ? It can safely be user bed to the polluted political career of such in- tulerantiadical leaders ns Faison Brown- low, trho, >■ itb one foot in Satan’s domin ion and the other in the United States Sen ate. scarcely knows which way to turn for spiritual or political salvation. He seems to have endeavored to make the reigu of Satan as complete in Tennes see as possible, in order that the contrast might not be great hereafter. Tennessee must repudiate such men altogether or live in constant terror of political and social ku kluxes until she does. Of course the radical convention burst up in a row without effecting a nomination—the contest being between Scoter, the successor of Brownlow, and Stokes, a radical member of Con gress. Andy Joliusou did not come in anywhere. Indeed, he seems to be no- wliere in Tennessee just at- this time; but it will be among the wisest acts of his life it he manages so steer clear of every such shameless gang of bummers as that which baa just disgraced by their presence the capital of the State. The radical party in Tennessee, thus being hopelessly spilt, why do not the ccueervatives rally uDce more and endeavor to right the ship of State ? We learn that Mr. Griffith has bought out the interests of Wadsworth and Ford in the brick wumhouse ia process of eon- struetion at corner of Howard and Court streets, and will complete the game as sole proprietor. taxes. lhe fax Receiver wi 1 be at Floyd Springson -Monday,31st inst., Texas Val ley Tuesday, June 1, Rome, Wednesday, call the attention of the cruft l-Masonic) to the followiug, copied from the -Monroe Advertiser in to-day’s"issue.

To TIIE COURIER BY S.NOOK8 FROM Hades. Alarming Explosion of Gas. Cincinnati has experienced a new and alarming sensation. The city gasometer exploded at noou yesterday, its immense iron holder, one huudred and thirty feet in diameter and having a capacity of half a million of cubio feet of gas, being torn to pieces and scattered in all diretions. One man lost his life, a companion being fatally injured, a number of others having, as if in miraculous preservation, just descended from the point of danger. The neighbor ing buildings were scorched and shaken.— This is a warning not only to gas fitters, but the builders of gasomett rs. Explosions of the subtle agent are becoming very fre quent. Where are the inspectors. B©_We do not suppose there, ever was. an article so universally popular and com mended as a fam.ly medicine, as Darby's Prophylactic Fluid. We have never heard any one say a word against it, but all speak in favor. *. —- — Cuba. The now* from Cuba which,we publish this morning is interesting. A party of fillibnsters, probably from the United States seven hundred strong, effected a landing on the hay of Nipe and were subsequently at tacked by the Spaniards, who, after cap turing their cannon and flag, at the point of the bayonot, spiked the former and retired, no doubt, as our ynnkee friends used to say, “in good order.” This attacking force appear-' to have numbered but one hundred and twenty, and they report but four of their number killed, while the loss of the fillibusters was very heavy. Thus the story iuns, and it should bo borne in mind that it comes rom Havana, and is the government version of the af fair. That one hundred and twenty Span iards should attack six times their number of American* well armed, with their bat teries in position and all fortified, is a tale trance - for the marines, and we wait the rebel side of it before forming any opinion. The bay of Nipe (pronounced Nee-pi) is on the northeast coast of Cuba, south east of Naranjo, easy of entrance, and said to be capacious enough to hold all the fleets of Europe,-—Sav. Rep. Tile Cotton Crop. We continue to receive from all sections most discouraging accounts of the cotton crop. The continued cold nights and the recent cold winds, which have prevailed throughout the entire eastern and middle sections of the State have caused the plant to die, and in many localities the crop has been plowed up and replanted in corn. There can be no longer the slightest doubt that the crop is at least twenty to twenty-five days later than usual, and that stand is generally very deficient. If the season Bhould bceopic mprp fayorahfe at an early day, a fair crop may he made, bit this is quite uncertain.

He bikes three Jewish papers, two. in English -and one in Germanj and.every week they contain ar ticles against Christianity, very determined, and not.onfreqoently bitter and violent.— The Jews.are very active and,, growing - in wealth and influence. There are ten' regu larly employed Jlabbis in New York City, and nearly as many synagogues. Cincin- naii is not.behind New. York in this re spect, and there are four or fiye in Boston. Some of their synagogues iii New York and Cincinnati are amongst the most cost ly and splendid religious edifices in. the United States. . . , ,<i ... They have schools of the highest order, are projecting an American. Jewish Uni versity, and have already one or two theo logical seminaries. Three matters of im portance, we are told, are just now occupy ing the attention of the dews at large. One is the revocation of.the decree, of 149.5, by which Jews were banished from Spain; the second is the establishment of an agricultu ral colony in Palestine; the third is a pro posal to hold a universal synod in Germa ny next summer.
