embraced so many distinct subjects

A Distinguished Visitor.—The dis

soldier, Joseph E. Johnston, arrived
here on tneSfrge from J acksonville bn
last Wednesday evening and left ph the

be in excellent-health and good spirits.
He has acccepted the Presidency of the
Selma and Tennessee.River R.R. and
was here on business connected With
the contemplated early completion of
the road from Blue Mountain to Dalton.
He thinks this connection a great pub
lic pecessity and that the stock- in the
road will he very valuable. We are
told that he favors the route through
Rome. Gen. Smith, former Chief En
gineer of the Army of Va. was in com
pany with him. The latter, is now

Destitution, ipr -East Tenn.—The
Nashville'Union ahd American of yes

Gen. Fisk informs us that he : has|
forwarded five thousand rations to the
destitute of East Tennessee, to be dis
tributed from Chattanooga to Bristol.
Cleveland, Knoxville, Greenville,
Jonesboro and Charter’s Station are
the points of distribution. An euerge-.

Religious Phase of Mr. Davis’ Char
acter. ,..
. There was no affection of deyout^no^s j
or asceticism in my patient; but eyety |
opportunity I had of seeing him coaii-!
Vinced me more deeply ot his .sincere
religious conviction. He was./fonduf
referring to passages of Scripture., com
paring text with text, dwelling on the
divine beauty of the imagery gnd the
wonderful adapttdion. 'of ,the whole to
every conceivable phass and stage of
'human life.. Nothing that any man’s
individual experience, however strange,
codid bring home to'him, but had been
previously foretold and described with
its proper lesson or promise of hope, in
the sacred Volume. It was the only
absolute prisdom reaching all* varieties
of exiscence, because -comprehending
the whole; and beside its inspired uni
versal knowledge all the learning of
humanity was: but foolishness. The
Psalms were his favorite* portion of tfie
Word, and had always been. Evidence
of their divine origin was inherent in
their text. Mply an intelligence that
held the lifeJnieads of the entire hu
man ; family could have thus pealed
forth into a single cry, every wish, joy,
fear, exultatipn, hope, passion and sor
row of the t human heart. There were
moments, while speakipg on peligious
subjects in whicii Mr. Davis impressed
me more than. aDy professor of Chris
tianity 1 had ever heard. . There was
.a vital earnestness in bis discourse; a
clear, almost passionate, grasp ,jn bis
faith; and the thought would frequent
ly recur that a belief capable of consol
ing such sorrows as his', possessed, and
thereby evidenced,. a reality,. a sub
stance, which-no sophistry of the infi
del could discredit. ,.
To this phase of the prisoner’s char
acter I have heretofore rather avoided
calling attention for several reasons,
prominent of which though an unwor
thy one. Was this: My knowledge that
many, if not a-majbrity, of my leaders
would approach the .character of Mr.
DaVis with a preconception of dislike
an4 distrust, and a consequent fear that
an earlier forcing on their attention of
this phase of his character, before their
opinion had beep modified by such
glimpses as are herein, giv^n, might on
ly challenge a base and false, imputa
tion of hypocrisy against one,, than
whom, in my judgment, no more de
vout exemplar of Christian faith, and
its value as a consolation, now lives,
whatever may have been his political
crimes or errors.—Prison Life of Jeff.

Information Wanted.—The following
we take from the Chattanooga Ameri
can Union. We hope .the information
will he circulated until it reaches the
friends of the unfortunate young man.
“Information j s wanted of Wm. Henry
Johes, formerly of Rome, Ga., who is
believed to have moved, with his .wife,
to Texas, about the ihiddie of Jahugrjr,
1866. . He has,a son. now at'the Crutoh-
field House, Chattanooga, prostrated
with disease, among strangers,^ though
not entirely .friendless. His nahae is
that of his father; (Wm. Henry. .Jones,

came separated from, bis father in Vir :

der,’and being sick and ..crippled,.was
unable to reach his former home until
the family had left,' as stated above;
for Texas. The poor unfortunate boy
reached this place a few daysago, and
and was taken in and cared for by the
kind hearted proprietors pf.the Crutch;
field House. ‘*We call on our newspa

Southwest, to make a notice of the
matter, in the hope that it wd be the

Slate Roofing. , t
We call the attention of. builders 'to
the advertisemen t of Col. Seaborn J ones,
of Polk county, who is prepared to. fin-
nish slate in, any quantity for roofing.
We believe-that no sensible man will
hesitate to admit that the slate makes
the very best fire and water proof roof
that caa be made, .The beauty of'the
thiDgis, that it will last a thousand
years; and where insurance is wanted
it is, bpyond a doubt, the'most econom
ical. We, have taken the trouble 'to
.make the following Calculation:
For example,'take a-house 100
’feet by 30, would. require 36 . -; r
squares alaie, at 50 per $877 50
Or 35 squares shingles at $4 00
per square 140 00
Difference in favor of shingle - -
roof.
Suppose you insure the
Louse valued at $10 000, it
would cost on shingle roof

Insurance on bnilding with
slate roof,-valued at $10 000,
On $30,000 worth of goods
would be
700 00
240 00
320 00
Difference in favor of slate roof
per annum 380 00
Whieh would more than pay for itself,
in two years.
In ten years the saving would be,
$3,800—enough to put o‘n four elate;
roofs entire. • . ;
If the party says Be will take the:
risk, then he had bette'r make the risk
as small as possible. ' ,

Ah Eye Opener.
A Boston editor having had his eye
opened by Moore's history of slavery in
Massachusetts, mildly suggests the pro
priety of a little modesty, in the future
on the part of those-who have so long
held forth in the holier-than-thou vein.
He says
,. jt certainly.is not pleasant to admit
that ip Massachusetts, in its earliestept
tlement, slavery was recognized by law,
and. strengthened and made .permanent
by various, enactments.. , Mr, Moore
snqw? that .the, old,• Puritans npt only
bought ana 60ld. cargoes,: of., Africans,
but dealt in the same„ way .with .their
Indian captives, and, even,,in a limited
degree, with white, who were,, nprtiber-
ed among the dissenters and ^qretics of
the times, or, who could not pay .their
debts, . It is mortifying again, tq. re

From Washington—A New Feature!
Washigton, June 27.—Yesterday, for
the first time during the session, the
members of the‘ House, from the Middle,
and Western States . co-operate a’gainst
the New £nglnnd;inter?8t, The latter
were defeated in their efforts to secufS
the Northern Pacifiic Railroad route,

the Union Pacific Company, to change
their route so as to go by Denver City,
Colorado.
’ Washington, Juno 27.—Senate—Mr.

Alexandria to the State of Virginia.

telegraph lines, and to secure to (he!
Government the use of the same for

was cailed np, and some discussion en
sued. ;•
Mr. Brown made some remarks, al
luding to the recent report of the Post:
Master General on the subject of tele
graphing; and said that in this report
the Post Master General had shown
himself utterly incompetent for the po
sition. He holds that bis report was
made, in a great 'part, of communica
tions from persons interested in the
great monopoly that now controls the
telegraphing of this country. He, the
Post Master General, had reflected
80 00 kmere discredit,op himself in this con
nection than perhaps., had...transpired;
with regard to any other officer-of thej
Government. . :
Men of his position heretofore had :
strived to advance the publio’ interest,
but he had stood in the way of a need
ed reforih. Mr. Sherman regretted
that Mr.. Brbwn should have made such
a personal attack updn Mr. Dennison,
when he (Sherman) knew him to have
the public interests at heart, and to be
as desirous as anybody of . advancing
them,
The House passed a bill for.the pre
vention of smuggling. Mr. Morrell, of i
Vermont, from the'Corrrmittee.of.JfVays'
and Means, reported th§,Senate amend-;
ment to the tax bill. ; The House con
curred in nearly all of them, but dis
agreed to the Senate’s amendments of
tax of two, instead of five cents a
pound .,on ; cotton. This, wjth other
amendments, were adjusted by a com
mittee of conference. The President
authorized the issue of a pardon to
A. T. Bledsoe, who in the early part of
the rebellion occupied the position of
Assistant Secretary ef war in the late
Confederate Government. The pardon
of Mr. Bledsoe was recently recom
mended by Hon. A. H. Browning.
