This distinguished military hero is announced, in the last Nashville papers, a candidate for the office of Governor of Tennessee. If the people of that state are willing to award the boon of gratitude to a tried, able and faithful soldier; to a chieftain whose life is untarnished by any signal vice; to a politician who never dreamed of treason or dismemberment of the Union; and to a man whose mind is strong, active and vigorous, they will confer on him the office which his friends have caused him to seek. It is to such unsuspicious characters the debt of gratitude should be paid for deeds of valor.
