Printing. Our facilities for this branch of
business is not surpassed in the State, and

A CLEAN OP SUNSHINE.
President Johnson has recently declared
that he will “oppose the centralization of
l<ower in Congress.” In this declaration
the country may take hope, for there is
nothing more clour than that the Radicals
hope to use their power in Congress to
subvert the principles of the Constitution
and to violate the rights of the returned
States. No more fatal error can be com
tied n a Government like ours, than to
tt-sume the right in Congress to control
the entire interests of the country. The
functions of that body are merely legisla
\o —legislation restricted within constitu
• ..ha! limits; and it has been with gloomy
forcMings that true patriots have wit
i.exsed the gradual development of a party
w 'ho-e aim seems to be to overstep consti
t itional limitations, and give to a bare Con
gressional majority executive, judicial and
legislative powers. Against such mon
strous pretensions we are glad to find the
President sternly arrayed. If there ever
•a as a time when the fate of those institu
tii'tis transmitted by our revolutionary
fathers depended upon the firmness and
patriotic ntegrity of one man , that time has
«..me, and that man is Andrew Johnson.
We have sometimes feared that he would
waver under the influence^' of a terrible
«- ;ts de pressuve, but every day something
transpires to add strength to our new-born
«onviction that President Johnson will
prove equal to the great duty before him,
and that he will yet preserve the Union
and the Constitution pure and unsullied,
i li' conviction is the gleam of sunshine
which throws light upon the path of our
country's future.
JThe two great powers of Europe—
France and England—‘are becoming won*
dcrfullj gracious to one another, if we may
judge by the fetes that have been recently
gotten np on the occasion of the visit of the
French Fleet to Portsmouth. There is
some meaning in this hob-nobbing and
.icking of glasses between the wily French
man and her Majesty. This sudden burst
of enthusiastic friendship forebodes no good
in some quarter. It; sometimes happens
that diplomats hatch infamous plots over
thvir Burgundy, and perhaps there may be
some little scheme lying hidden int hese os
entatious displays of international oourtesy.
From what we know of Louis Napoleon and
his antecedents, it is the part of safety to
keep an eye upon their movements, and
some of England’s statesmen will be none
the worse for tLe watching.

THE SENTIMENT OF THOSE WHO
FOUGHT THE BATTUES OF THE
UNION.
In one of his speeches while Provis- .
ional Governor of Tennessee, Andrew
Johnson said:
It is very easy to talk about Lincolnites. Ii
hare shown yon who they are. Qo through their ;
regiments and your inquiries will be answered so
as to set at rest all doubt. I bare frequently asked
them if the war was being directed to the institu
tion of slarery. Their reply has always been,
“We’re got more niggers at home than we want;
d—n the niggers. When we hare established the
rightful power of the Government, we mean to re
turn to our homes and our avocations.”
Almost every Confederate soldier who
came in contact with the Western Federal
soldiers can testify that the sentiment
above accredited to them largely predom
inated ; that in conversations frequently
entered into across the lines, they time and
again assured our soldiers that they were
not “ fighting for the negro ” —that they
had as much of him at home as they need
ed. They wanted the Southern States
back in the Union, as they were before
the war, with all their constitutional rights;
and one of these soldiers told the writer
of this that if the Southern people would
“ cease fighting and return to the .Union
the Federal soldiers of the West, who had
done the hardest fighting against us,
would, in their turn, fight for us if our full
rights as co-equals iu the Government were
not acknowledged.” We believe he was
sincere. We believe further, that if the
question of Southern restoration to the
Union on equal terms with other States,
and to the enjoyment of equal political
privileges, depended upon those Western
soldiers who did the fighting of the war, it
would soon be settled to the satisfaction of
both parties. The men who are so ram
pant for severe measures towards the
South, now that the war is over, are not
the men who fought against us while war
existed. Brave men are willing to trust
us; cowards, consulting their fears, profess
to doubt our sincerity, and would have us
further oppressed and humiliated. Pres
ident Johnson will be sustained in his re
construction policy by nine-tenths of the
vetoran soldiers of the W est.
SPEAKING OUT IN MEETING.
The following, from the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, is a clear case of speaking
out in meeting. The Journal remained
quiet as long as there was a “military ne
cessity,” but now that the truths ,of history
are to be vindicated, and justice dealt out
to the whites, the editors cannot remain si
lent under the imputation that the Federal
Government has, for the last three years,
“taken refuge against white traitors behind
two hundred thousand Hack bayonets!”
The Journal ventilates the Fort Wagner
affair elegantly. Here is its vindication of
the honor of the white soldier of the Fed
eral army, for which we think they ought
to be grateful:
Talcing Refuge Behind the Negro. —The
Tribune says this “was not a white man’s
government during the last three years,
when it found refuge against white traitors
behind two hundred thousand black bayo
nets.”
It is possible that the readers of the Tri
bune may be imposed on by such twaddle
as this; but to the sensible and intelligent
community at large it is sheer nonsense.—
Nor is that all. It is insulting to the peo
ple of all parties in this great country.—
Four-fifths of the people, Republicans as
well as Democrats, opposed the employ
ment of negro soldiers. The only men who
“found refuge” behind the armed negro
were the ultra abolitionists, and they took
refuge, not from the rebels at the South,
but from the draft at the North. *
Massachusetts hunted the nation through
to find negroes to fill up her quota and
save her citizens from fulfilling the Gov
ernor’s promise to throng the roads with
volunteers. Two weeks ago there was a
negro regiment discharged in Boston.
W e came on in the train that afternoon to
New Fork, and we are able to state on
our personal observation that a very large
part of the men composing the regiment
came on to this city and State to find
their homes. This was the only kind of
taking refuge behind the negro that we or
the people of this country know anything
about.
This has long ceased to be a question of
politics, and is now a question of history,
and the Tribune might afford to sacrifice
old political notions to an honest desire for
the truth of history. The simple, unvar
nished truth is, that the negro soldiers
have been of no manner of use to us in
this war. Where ten thousand of them
have been used to fulfill a purpose, one
thousand or one hundred white soldiers
would have been of more value by far.
We have conversed with scores of re
turned officers and soldiers, men of no po
litical aspirations, who have seen the negro
regiments under all conditions, and their
testimony is unanimous that the colorec
troops were nowhere worth their salt.
This is the uniform statement of every
soldier whom we have seen, who* is not a
political candidate for some office. It is
the notorious verdict of all the most emi
nent officers of the army.
Asa matter of fact, the stories which
were published for political effect about the
bravery of these troops are known to be
fabrications. We have before this alluded
to the celebrated advance of the negroes at
Fort Wagner, which was represented in
such brilliant colors, the poor fellows fall
ing by hundreds on the parapet and under
the works of the fort. The fact is now
well known that they did not advance
within some hundred yards of the fort, and
their conduct was simply ludicrous under
the first fire they received. This is but a
specimen of the “historical verities” which
political writers manufacture in times of
excitement. It is not to be doubted that
the organization of negro regiments has
cost the nation many millions of dollars,
which were thrown away to gratify an ar
dent partisanship, or to save those who ad
vocated it from the draft, and resulted in
no adequate return whatever.
The implication of the Tribune is, that
white men were not forthcoming for the
war. This every reader knows to be un
true, . There was never any such refusal
of white men to volunteer, as is implied in
this accusation, unless in Massachusetts,
and we do not believe there was any ne
cessity for resorting to negro troops there.
The draft would have brought white men
enough even there. Instead, therefore, of
taking refuge behind the negro, the truth
is, that negro troops were forced on the
country by these men who now have the
impertinence to taunt white men with tak
ing refuge behind them.
Meeting in Davidson County, Tenn.
In response to a published call, a large
number of the citizens of Davidson county,
Tenn., convened in Nashville on last Satur
day. From the proceedings we quote the
following:
Judge John S. Brien moved that a com
mittee be appointed to draft and present to
the meeting a series of resolutions. The
motion having prevailed, the Chair ap
pointed che following gentlemen on the
committee: John Brien, E. H. East, P.
W. Maxey, J. B. Johnson, J. M. Lea, W.
Slockwell, and John Leigh Smith, Esqs.
The Committee then retired from the
Thalia Hall rooms, and in about an hour
returned with the following resolutions:
“Whereas, Peace has been restored to
our beloved country; and whereas the
ravages of war, for the past four years,
have disturbed, to a great extent, the so
cial, political and industrial relations of her
people; and whereas, we, as a community,
are all alike interested in good governmt nt,
and in a restoration of all our social, civil
and political rights and relations; there
fore be it
- “Resolved, That the flag of the Union is
our flag, and we pledge ourselves to pro
tect and defend the same, when and where
ever assailed.
“Resolved, That we practice ourselves,
and recommend to others, the duty of
meeting all our fellow citizens, socially and
politically, as brothers of one great nation
ality, and that we will co-operate with them
in all laudable ways, for the promotion of
our common interest, State and National.
“ Resolved , That we accept the extinction
of slavery as an accomplished fact, and that
we will co-operate with all good men ev
erywhere, to make the new relation of the
white and black race as pleasant and pro
fitable to both as possible.
“ Resolved, That the broad, bold and pru
dent statesmanship of Andrew Johnson,
as indicated in his past career, upon State
and national theatres, give high assurances
to his countrymen everywhere that the
government of the country will be con
ducted upon principles of enlarged patriot
ism, wisdom and justice. That we hearts
ly approve his policy in the administration
of the Government, so far as it has been
developed, because of its large and liberal
patriotic Americanism. We will, in good
faith, support his administration in its ef
forts to reunite the whole people as oofff
nation North and South.
“Resolved, '.As the opinion of this meetuS
the people may with safety, be trusted wifl
the government of themselves, and iwF
sooner this can be done, the better it will
be for the peace and welfare of society at
large.
“That we appreciate that sentiments of
nationality which seeks to restore the
Union on a constitutional basis, and recog
nizes the Southern people as brethren wor
thy to be trusted in their local legislation;
and with all such we pledge our hearty
co-operation.
“ Resolved, That the national credit is es
sential to national happiness, strength and
prosperity, and should be carefully guard
ed and protected.
“ Resolved, That we believe, that if the
present policy of President Johnson is met
in the spirit in which it should be, by the
people, that the entire country will be re
united in one common brotherhood, and
peace and prosperity reign throughout the
Union.
“ Resolved, That it is our duty to obey
in good faith, the laws of the land, State
and National, andjto co-operate with every
effort made to restore peace, law and or
der.”
Before the reading of the resolutions,
the chairman expressed the hope that the
gentlemen present would pay the strictest
attention to them and weigh them well, in
a manner suited to their importance.

interest freedmen) or determining the
right, title or petition whatever, except
property owned or claimed by the Gov

We also find the following in the Koine
Courier. As the ladies, Government offi
cials, and others, are interested in the point
once at issue, but now determined by Maj.
Gen. Steedman, the military commandant
of Georgia, it will doubtless attract the
attention of all concerned:
DUE AND TIMELY NOTICE.
A letter came to this postoffice for a
young lady, addressed to the care of her
father. The young lady had not taken
the “oath of allegianco,” and still refused
to do, but her father had, and demanded
the letter, on the ground that it Was ad
dressed to his care. The Postmaster de
clined delivering it on the grounds that it
would have been an evasion of the orders,
and would not have been justifiable in
doing so, under all the existing circum
stances. The point was made and re
ferred to the General for his decision.
The following is his reply :
• Headq’us Dep’t of Georgia-, )

Respectfully returned to the Postmaster
at Rome, Ga., through military channels;
the letter will not be delivered until the
orders of the military commander of the

with the laws of the country, will prepare
themselves 1 to leave the country.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Intelli
gencer says:
Upon a recont visit to Athens, Georgia,
my attention was directed to the State Uni
versity, located at that interesting point,
and upon inquiry in regard to its condition
and prospects, I was informed that its en
dowments had been to a groat extent ex
hausted' by the destruction of the capital of
the State Bank as the result of the war, in
which Institution the funds bad been invest
ed by Act of the Legislature. It has oc
curred to me that it might not bo inappro
priate to call the attention of the members
of the approaching State Convention to the
subject of placing the support of this Insti
tution beyond contingency by introducing a
guarantee into the organic law of the State,
as upon this security I have reason to be
lieve that sufficient funds could be obtained
(without any actual advance upon the part
of the State) to put the Institution into
operation and sustain it for several years,
until the financial condition of the State
could better allow the actual appropriation
of the money. Asa citizen of the State,
(and in no way connected with the Institu
tion alluded to) deeply interested in its fu
ture, I would desire to urge upon those who
are to lead in the reorganization of its gov
ernment, and in relaying the foundations
for what I believe to boa prospect for a
greater degree of prosperity than has been
ever known heretofore, the great importance
of looking prominently to the encourage
ment of every possible educational advan
tage, 4nd among these none occurs to me
as likely to be more fruitful of good results
than those connected with the interests of
the State University.
Fortubately the buildings, apparatus, and
magnificent Library of the Institution have
passed through the desolations of the war
uninjured, and with its able Faculty (at the
head of which stand that most accomplished
scholar, eloquent Divine and polished gen
tleman, Rev. A. A. Lipscomb, D. D.,) un
broken and ready to enter upon the dis
charge of their duties, nothing remains, in
my judgment, to insure it a career of un
paralelled prosperity but the fostering care
of the State Government.

A Japanese Visitor. —We mentioned some days
ago the arrival in this countryjof Kisabro, a young
Japanese of highly respectable rank, who has
wandered alone to this distant pa r t of the world.
He brought letters of introduction to Wetmore,
Cryder & Cos., and has, under their care, already
visited some of the more interesting manufacto
ries of our country. He is a man of quick intel
ligence, appreciates all that he sees, and makes
careful notes of the information he is obtaining
with reference to making use of it in Japan. He
will remain in the couutry some weeks longer, and
will probably visit some of the large armories and
manufactories, and proceed to the national capital
before his departure. It is remarkable that he
and his coiyitrymen seem to have a full acquaint
ance with the name and exalted character of
Washington. He desires to see the tomb of the
great patriot, and will do so. It is unnecessery
to bespeak for this young man the kind attentions
of such Americans as he may meet. They will
readily accord it everywhere. He has assumed a
great risk in thus visiting us, and the result on
his return may be very serious. He hopes, how
ever, to escape the penalty usually imposed on
any Japanese who ventures to travel abroad, and
expects to carry with him information which will
be of great value to his countrymen. He is a
fine specimen of the Japanese gentleman, and a
conversation with him may well lead an American
to doubt whether the civilization of Japan is not
very nearly on a par with our own. —New York

Variety.
Time was when the title of a romance
meant something. If you could not fore
shadow the contents of a book by its
name, you could at least perceive its pro
priety after perusal. But now-a-days it
seems to be of little consequence to have
any connection between the title-page of a
story and the succeeding letter-press. This
is to some extent true in relation to “ Our
Mutual Friend,” and is wholly correct as
applied to two recent novels, “On Guard,”
and “Carrie’s Confession-” The “confes
sion” in the latter is an incident so com
pletely subordinate and unimportant, that
no one reader in five would note its occur-
rence.
The London Times speaks of the good

During the war, a woman went to a

“ Dear me,” said the woman, “ have they
got to fighting by candle-light ?”

A friend of his—said President Lincoln
—passing along a village street, was pain
fully bitten by an ugly dog. A single blow
of a heavy stick, skillfully aimed, killed the
animal instantly, but the enraged pedestri
an still continued to pummel the whelp, till
little vestige of the canine form remained.
At length he was accosted with, “What
arc yon about ? That dog has been dead
these ten minutes.” “I know it/' was the
reply, “but I want to give the beast a real
izing sense that there is a punishment after
death.”
Thackeray, when speaking about fame,
would frequently tell the following anec
dote : When at dinner, in St. Louis, one
day, he heard one waiter say to another,
“Doyou know who that is ?” “No,” was
the answer. “That is the celebrated Mr.
Thackeray.” “What’s he done ?” “Bless
ed if I know,” was the reply.
“Well,” said a soft-hearted, blundering
Jonathan the other day, “Suke has gin me
the sack, by gravy ! I’ve lost her.” “Lost
her—how ?” inquired his sympathizing
friend. “I laid the soft soap on her so
thick, that the critter got so proud she
wouldn’t speak to me.”
“Why, Bridget,” said a lady who
wished to rally her servant girl, lor the
amusement of company, upon the fantas
tic ornamenting of a huge pie, “ did you
do this? You are quite an artist. Pray,
how did you do it?” “ Indade, ma’m, it
was meself that did it,” replied Bridget.
“Isn’t it pretty? I did it with your old false
teeth, mum.”
Miss Augusta St. Clair, “a petite young
lady, scarcely twenty,” has been lecturing

Gems from Brownlow,
We clip the following from a recent
number of his Knoxville Whig:
Northern Men Among Us. —The Union
men of East Tennessee are pleased to have
Northern men—mechanics, laborers and
professional men—come among them, and
settle down permanently, and they rejoice
at their coming —-provided they are Union
men, on the side of the Federal Govern
ment. But for those of them who have
even served in the army, who settle in Ten
nessee and take the side of the rebels,
electioneer with them to make friends, and
above all to make money , at a sacrifice of
principles, all true Union men entertain a
contempt as profound and undying as they
do for the meanest class of rebels that ever
stole one of their horses or robbed one of
their hen-roosts. And if there be one
class of men in Tennessee to-day, meaner
than another, it is that class of Northern
rebels, copperheads and adventurers from
the North, who are in sympathy with the
rebels of the South. May God in his mer
cy put it into the heads of such cattle to
stay away from Tennessee, and especially
from East Tennessee. Let Union men
watch them, and scrutinize their deeds and
associations.
Don't Feel Safe Here !—There are a few
persons here, and in other localities, in
sympathy with rebels, who came from a
distance, and from other States, and are
horrified at seeing or hearing of the fights
that occur between rebels and Union men.
They say they don’t feel safe in the coun
try. Well, let them leave—they came with
out any special invitation, and if their views
arc not in harmony with the loyal men of
the country, the sooner they leave the bet
ter. If they are here to uphold rebels and
denounce Union men, we agree with them
that they are not safe. And every day
they act in this way, they are rendering
themselves more insecure. The real peo
ple of East Tennessee want none but loyal
men on guard.

sum stolen from the banks at St. Albans,
Vermont, by the-rebel raiders—amounting
to some seventy thousand dollars in gold
and bank notes—the act may be regarded
as bonds given by Canada as a guarantee
for future good behavior. There will be
no danger of rebel raids from the Canadian
border if the bill of expenses has to be
footed by the Canadian people.
