A special to the New York News sajs i
that olc thing te certain, and that is the
President will appoint anew Secretary
of War, and a Secretary of the Interior,
and will do so at once. In the reconstruc
tion of the Cabinet tbe South will have ft
ieast one representative, and it is thought
that Mr. Ilarlin’s suceessor will be a gentle- !
uian from Georgia- General Dix will pro
bably be made Secretary of War, and Rev
erdy Johnson Attorney General, it being
understood that Governor Swann wiil »p. 1
point a Conservativa to sueoecd Mr. Johnson
in (he Senate.
Thaddeus Stevens and other Pennsylva
nians here have receidt-d intelligence front
all parts of that State to the effect that the
virtual defeat of the tariff by the Seoate win
enable the Democrats to < arry Pennsylvania
at the Fall elections. The fact is a most
important one.

Why We khmildtieiid Ikvlegsitrs to
The CouvMitifM.
Fuat.—The call is made by those wbo
are opposed to the Rudiods of the North
It is emmervaism vs. Radicalism. Tho
liads vo un lerstaml; in tostim *ny where
ol, when President Johnson gives his np
! provul to the (VSnventi' n, Denn son, n R<d
t ieal member of hts (Juliinet resigns, and bo-
I shies every Radical editor nnd politician
i opposes it. The Ntrw A ork N<w-s, the
j World, and other papers north of Masons
i H nd Dixon’s Uric, who huv*battled man
! fu’ly for the S uth, call upon us to come I
over and help t’iciii iu their efforts to put
down Radicalism.
Secondly,—Opposition to the C nvon
-1 lion must necessarily discourage President
John on, wbo lias nobly and bravely bat
! tied ngainst llad'etil sm, and at the sacrifice
■ of the favor of many, saved the South from
degradation nought to be lie ped upon her.
Ho approves tiie Convent! n because he bc
leivos that it may re-ult iu harmonizing nil
men, North anti South, or at least in unit
ing the conservative elements of tho
Country against lladica'isai. Ihe Rfuli
c-i!s must be put out of office, rr the South
, will be begga ed, an 1 tbe whole country*
ruined. Will we not help do this—help to
1 save the Country from tho d'sgraco of
Radical rule, especially when in so doing
we are saving ourselves ? Suppose tbe
| Radicals are triumphant in the next elec
tions -hold the power again in Congress
may we not judge from their past conduct
of what they v> ill be in the future ? \\ hat
have we of the South t) hope for from
‘.hem ? Their run-mad fanaticism will
show us no mercy. \Vbat they have al
ready done is but the beginning of miseries.
Fhnll we because of a fool sh pride, opiposc
the Convention, and thereby entiss the
President to turn away from us and our
friends North to give ns up as incorrigible ?
I Shall we refuse to help them, simply bc
| cause, from policy, tho rail is not worded
just as w*e wool! have it ? We think such
conduct a suicidal policy.
If our delegates, wheu they go to the
1 Convention, find that they are required to
concede more than their judgement and
consciences will nllow, let them come ho*ne. !
| Or if they are adm'ttbd to seats in the Con-.
| vention and find they have been decoyed
inti a trap, then, even, let them withdraw
i inn body.
| The proposition no donTg, is made in
1 n*ood faith Let ns send delegates, and

Wo notice the following card in the Nash
villc DspatchjOf the 18 th instant:
“A Carp from Mr. Williams, —Fp-ak-
cr’s Room, Jniy 17, 18GG.—To the house
of Representatives—Gentlemen : Yon have
me here in close confinement—not permitted J
even to go to my regular mca's, without a l

P. WtU.UNfS,
Member from Carter county.
The same paprr contains an account of'
the arguments of counsel before Judge
Frazier, who had issued a writ of habras enr
pus at the instance of the couusel of Mr
Williams, commanding the officer) in whose
custody he was, to bring him into oourt.—
This writ was disobeyed by the officer, when j
the pris'ncr’s oounscl, Judge Gant, asked,
of hi* H j_>or that an attachment he issued
to bring both petitioner and rcspondiirt be
fore the Court. TTnnn this demand argu
meat was heard by the Court on both sides,;
but no detiuon at the time of its adjourn-!
ment.
The tyranj exhibited by Brownlow’s F.-'g
islature in this case is without paiallel in
American history, or in any other save j
where the record tells of the reign of tyran's
and a downtaodden people. The end of this
must soon come. Publio opinion must soon 1
correct this maladministration of govern
ment in Tennessee. The intelligence, vir
tue, and patriotism of her people must pre
vail against these who u.snrp a power not
bestowed upon them by the Constitution of
thetState. •
For the Dawson
How (o Estimate Wowing Cotton.
I It mar be of interest ta those of your reader* on
g.igcd ii] cottou raising, and, perchance, beneficial!
to some, to peruse tbe following plan for estimat- j
ing the probable amount of cottou to be gathered,
; from their respective fields. I give a basis upon
which we may make calculation approximating to
correctness:
Say 130 bolls of cotton wiil make a pound on an I
average. There is nearly or about 14,660 square ,
fret in an acre. Ten bolls to the foot would make
145,600 bolls to the acre—tLLs at 130 bolls to the ;
pound would make 1,120 pounds per acre. jj am
not sure that 1 am correct as lo the square feet )!
To make the calculation easy, we will sar the rows 1
are three feet apart—then lor ev»ry foot nongthe 1
row there are ten bolls, or thirty to the yatd— .
then every 70 yards would have 2100 boll's. 70 j
roirs 70 yards long would have 147,000 bolls,
which divide by 130, and we have 1130 pounds
per acre. But make a little more allowance for
the avenge bolls, and to make the calculation s iH
more e„sv and sure, wa will allow that the ten
bolls to tlie running toot, or 31 to the yard, will
only make 1000 lbs. per acre, whblt would
he allow.ng about 141 bolls to the pound, a very
. safe calculation, and we cm count soy numbrr o'"
hundred pounds per acre with v r? little trouble,
ten balls to the fro’, 1000—9 bolts to the foe
»Ou lbs per acre, and so on dowu to one boll to
the foot, loti pounds per acre. J. J. P
P. S The 1 1560 should be multiplied by 3 to
make square feet

Washington, D C., July 11, ldbti.)
Sir :—Excuse mo for expressing surprise
tl at you ask me whether I approve of the!
call of a proposed National Unioin (Jonvon
tiou at Poitadelpl.il.
After more than five years of disloaationj
by civnl war, 1 regard a restcrati. nos the i
unity of the country as its most immediate
as well as its most vital interc-t. That res-|
(oration will bo complete when loyal men
arc admitted as repr-sentativos of the loyal
people of the eleven States so lemg unrepre
sented in Congeess. Nothing but Ibis can
complete it. Nothing more remains to be
done, and nothing more Is necessary, Every
day’s delay is attended by unl'tiplying nnd
increasing inconveniences, embarrassments,
i and and ugers at home and abroad. Congress
possesses the power exclusively; Coogresv
after a sessi nos seven months, sti'l omits
to exercise that power. “What can be done
to induce Congress to act 7 This is tho
question of theday. Whatever is done must
he iu accordance with the Constitution and
laws. It is in perfect aecorda&ce with the
('onstifuti n and laws that the people of tho
Uii ed Ft. tear hill asst mhle, by delegate?, in
. convention, and that when soass mbled they
shall address Congofs by te pett u’ petition
and remonstrance, and that the people In
several States, distrie's, and territories, shall
1 approve, sanction and unite in such rospre*-
ful representations to Cangreus. No one
party could do Ibis rfh-ctunlly, or even seems
willing to do it alone; no local or popular
organization could do it effectually. It is
the interest of all parties alike; of all the
tbe States, and of all sections—a national
interest; tbe interest of tbe whole people.
The Oonvertion, indeed may not succeed
in inducing Cjngrcss to act, but if they fail
the attempt can make matters no worse. It
wi‘l be a lawful and patriotic attempt made
in the riffbt direction, an effort to be remem
bered with pride and satisfaction whetbir it
succeed or fail. The original union of the
States was brought about by movements of
tbe same ehiraeter. The citizen who ob
jects to the Convention is bound to prop~.se
a better plan of proceeding to rffect the de
sired end. No other phn is offered, or even
thought of. Those who should oppose it
would seem to me to manifest atbestunaon
corn, if not opposition to all reconstruction,
restoration, and reconciliation between the
alienated masses of tbe American people.—
To admit that tbe Convention will fail, would
bo te admit luat the people of the U F. are'
deficient in either the wisdom or the virtue
necersiry to contii uo the cxis'cnec of the
Republic. I believe no such thing. A great
p 1 tieal writer says tbst government is a,
secular religion, and that the people of
every country are divi led iu‘o two classes
each maintaining a distinct political faith
The one class always fear the very worst that
tan possibly happen, and the other hopes
under every circumstance tbe very best tba‘
can in any cv nt happen.
Without excepting this thing as absolutely
true, T think all men do grn n rnlly act from
a motive to guard against public danger, or
else from a positive desire to do good. Rath
classes may therefore favor the present at
tempt to restore tbe unity ot the nation.
I am sir, your obedient servant,

It is ever thus ambition, tyranny, and
treason, work out tb ir pr- u i purposes in
secret. Conspiracy is bora iu secrecy.
With these remembrance t and consider
ations before us, vre have never heard ought
bat, bate ot sgc-rct political c_ n laves. Ileneo
it is with a fixed feeling, ofsoriow we have
heard of the nightly assembling of the ma
jority of Congre-s in the Capitol, with closed
and guarded doors, under the injunction of
profound secrecy.
This is the inauguration of anew era
in our history, and ir is one to which the
attention of tbe American people sipouM be
called. It must be remembered these are
meetings of persons without authority, about
whose movements the public are no way con
cerned, but it is the dominant party of both
Houses of Congress; It is the Senate and
the House in secret conclave; it is tho leg
’slative power of forty uji.li ms of pe >ple
in concealed deliberation
What does it mean ? If it is legitimate
business they are after, why is not that busi
ness transacted with open do rs, in tbe
light of day, and under the eyes of tbe
American people ? It bolts ns it was
something they wore ashamed of, or feared
to have known. Have tley so lost omfi
denes in tho icfelligeuce ol the people, they
far m trust that people with a knowledge of
public affairs? Do they four that their
power is giving away and that the ground
is crumbling beneath tbem, and same secret
scheme must be concocted to aircst the dis
astrous turn events aro liking ? Or do
their purposes go beyond ttiis-; do they used
itatc anew violation of tbe Constitution to
secure their bold on power? Dt they
forge a mysterious thunderbolt to burl at
tbo breast of the noble patriot iu the Exec
utive chair, who has stood as unyielding as
cDatiny iu oppo-ition to there wicked and
insensate purposes •
Arc they preparing tLemsalzes for one

imd proseriptii cs, or impeaehmenis ? Their
attitude is calculat, and to alarm the puH c

At.THOcr.tt a year has nearly rolled around since
' the Snath of our friend and broi her—John. J. Simp
son, vet we feel it an iinpera ive du v t) rescue
; hi* roam try from oblivion, that, iiis children may
know incoming years the appreciation in which he
was held by tbe church amd"country.
Ho was a nob'e sresimru of a man and chrisfao
' gca leman—cxatnp'ifying all the virtues} and
g aces pett lining to a consistent pious life. For
mmy year* he vris Stetvird audClis* Leader in
the Methodist Oh a roll, as will ns Sabbath School
. Superintendent, till afHiction laid his paralysing
' hand apian him and robbed liiin of health and
1 strength, amt disqualified him for the discharge of
those holv du ies which he discharged so eflicieil
ly and lov*d,io well. Even when trouble longer
to work for the Church or labor for tbe promotion
-of thw it -de; ueFs King torn, his heart was with
theciuoe. He would send greetings ot love to
I tbe brethren, with his pn vers for the success of
: the Church aud cause ot (tod.
Never io any community was a man more lov
-led or respected than was John. J. -Simpson, by
the one in which he lived, and never was a loss
I rais e deeply deplored by Oaurch and citizens getl
i etally. Long did he labor most zenlouslv for the
rwo»p*rity of Salem Church, and npou lira death
: bed his theme was of 1 fta prosperity. ‘
’ lie has left an in’eres'ing wife and four lit'le
orphan boys, a daughter by his jivst uranuga,
i M.ieri, brothers. anil an aged mother—may they
live so as to rejoin him in the better land, where
