Boston, Oct. 23-r. m.
Knight, who was held lo hail on Sat
urday, was-again arrested to-day, with
another Georgian, named Hughes, by
the sheriff, charged with couspireing to
kidnap. They gave bonds in a lh«>u-
saud dollars and were discharged. A
crowd assembled around the SherifFi
office witli violent intentions. Knigli

which was burst open as the horses
were slatted at full speed.

We welcome to our table this new
daily. It is published by R. J.'Yancey
& Sons, and edited by R. J. Yancey,
Esq., formerly editor of the Memphis
Enquirer. The title of the Southerner
indicates its position on the great ques-
of the day, and the South, we
doubt not, will find iu it one of its ablest
defenders. We copy the following ex
tract from the Salutatory Address of
the editor:—Nashville Union.
YVe have acted with the YVhig party
since its formation—not approving
of all the acts of all the members of the
■party, hut adhering to the fundamental
principles upon-which it was originally
founded. To these principles as . we
have uiulerstooil them, we still cling
with the loudness of an iufaut to its
mother’s breast—they are our only po
litical aliment. But when the great
men of the party propose to surrender
what they acknowledged to be the con
stitutional rights on a point of expedi
ency, we cannot follow, nor do we be
lieve that the people will submit.—
There is- in tbe~4ireasi of. our free citi-
zeus an indomitable will, an mate :
of right, and their will is that tbe consti
tution shall fem>UD as they sanction it
and their known rights they will main
tain.

The speech of Governor Brown
various times interrupted by loud
plause-—most especially when speaking
of resistance. He concluded by giving
us the advice of Cromwell—adapting it
to this occasion—lhat while we should
all pray for the success of.the Union in
ils original purity, to keep our powder dry.
" . Quitman, was also loudly called
for,and responded in a noble strain to lilt

were rapturously received. The
