If your party is defeated, you will
pet drunk with the other side to
show that you are a clever fellow
and not {riven to “souring over de
feat anti you will be careful to de
clare that you hope the best man
wins, and that it is all in the party,
and that no power in the world can
prevent you trom supporting the
whole ticket, let who will be on it.
Say this as often as yon can—at least
every time you lake a “drink/’ and
if you can < rink as often or oltener
than any voter at the “primaries,”
and still walk home unsupported,
vowing To the stars your tealty to
the ticket, your fortune, with a little
tact ami prudence, made. You
have budded for a true patriot.
You will now make jud cunts haste
to see each man who is elected by
the “primaries” to the nominating
convention. You will invite, i pos
sible, each delegate to your private
room, and be patriotic with each.
That is, you will order the “drinks/ -
anti continue to talk aud order the
“drinks” until you have felt your
man thoroughly and put him to bed
—drunk. Then you will have your
head shainpooned. take some suste
nance, and away to fresh conquests.
Very much may be done in this way
when all seems lost. 1 won my first
nomination in this way, when tlie
“primaries were dead against, me.
Just as the convention is about to
assemble you will proceed, as at the
“primaries,” to “treat” everybody,
not forgetting the outsiders. For,
if you fire their hearts in your favor,
their shouts at the announcement of
your nama in the convention has a
line effect. I have known much
good to be done by this patriotic
shout of the people. It means that
you area clever follow, and that the
people, whose instincts are always
right, are fond ol you.
After this convention has adjourn
ed, if your side lias won, you will im
mediately invite all parties, to
“drink,” and tflnid the chinking of
umr must also be published 40 days.

<>ne or two campaigns like till
will finish your apprenticeship to
patriotism, but now, as you "ill be
gin to be noticed as a promising man
agreater degree of pi u Jenee is advis
able.
All through your apprentiecslrp
you will have observed to tell no lie.
The time to lie comes later in li!e.
The people will not swallow a lie from
a young man, knowing it to be such.
You may be a fool or a drunkard,
you may be a gambler, and horse
racer, and and also ke c p a tig iting
dog; but you must not. lie until you
are old enough and have earned suf
ficient fame to make the fc stick. A
useless fie is worse than a strict truth,
and to espouse either will ruin a pa
ired. Let your humble followers tcli
your-lies lbr you, and leave abstract
truths to pilosophers, preachers.wo
men. and editors. Let It be the rule
of your life to attempt no good thing
until you are sure it. will win, and
then, my son, study to be loudest
and most enthusiastic in your advo
cacy. Always wait tor the public
voice. The majesty of l lie public is
your sovereign, and it is the duty ol
a courteous and gallant knight to
flatter his liege. This is true chival
ry.
You wiil have no opinion to ex
press bn religious matters, and ex
cept in a rhetorical way, you will
avoid all mention of the public mor
als until the populace rise against
son c overbearing evil; then my son.
be prepared to take the lead with a.
fire a id fury of righteous indignation
which shad win golden opinions from
all sorts of people.
Be carif tl to give something in a
pleasant, ostentatious manner, to
all charitable institutions and peti
tions. I advise you to mar y. And
let your wife be one who may win to
\our side, or at least lend you the
ears of a large and influent al class
f church-going peoj le; but you must
b very careful, until lat in life, t
be in no way committed to any mat
ters of belief. To be a believer i-
gnod in a follower, but your leader
never believes.

With those who know so well the
tenderness in which the friends of such
men hold their honored memories, it

it is with the assurance of discharging
a solemn duty and of registering a sim

The True St jry of Grieral Jahi H
Morgan’s Heat a -Hucarto M.sae >•
rescalations Correct ed-
A newspaper article entitled ‘ Gen
eral (Mid c) Gillem,” now traveling
through the Northern papers, and on
§und :y last c pied into the Herald,
while very severe upon Gillem, gives a
version ol t ie death of the gill intGen.
Morgan, not in accordance with the
true facts.
A gentleman, long the loved and
trusted comrade of Gen. Morgan, and
who was in th is city yesterd iy,* made
ifter the death (f his commander i
thorough investigation of every inci
dent connected therewith, and is natu
rally anxious not only for the vindica-
cation of history, hut as an act of siui
pie justice to a dead officer whose deeds
have been more misrepresented uy the
N irtheru press than those of any other
prominent actor in the late war, that
the facts of the .ase should be properly
understood.
'J he version, as related in the news-
p iper article referred to, contains many
false and glaring inaccuracies.
Gen. Morg n was not killed in the
dty time, but at night; not "at a house
where he bad stopped to get dinner,”
but at one in the little town, of Green
ville. Tennessee. The men who - killed
him were not a ‘-squad af ” Lut
a -party of over one hundred of the
Thirteenth Tennessee Regiment, the
advance guard of Gillem s entire com
mand. * llie hoys” came with no pur-
p se "to scare Morgan.” Gen. Morgan
was not easily seared, as he thoroughly
illustrated by the many success..s he had
fairly won over better troops than those
he was opposed to on the final and fatal
occasion.
They came—furnished with positive
i iformation of his situation, knowing
exactly where he was to be found, and
that he wis attended with a slender es
cort—to kill him. He quitted the
house when the shots fired up >n the
small guard of five or six men notified
him that the enemy were upon him,
and entered a small vineyard which is
j-ist behind it. He was neither run
ning away nor trying to “crawl” through
a fence when he was shot. On the con
trary, despairing of making his way suc
cessfully through the Federal force
which surr unded hint, he was seeking
to conceal himself until such of his own
forces as were encamped nearest the
town c ‘uld come tnr his rescue. He was
unfortunately disc >vered aud immedi
ately killed. Whether he surrendered
or n t we have never known.
It h s been p s".lively asserted by men
who claim o have witnessed h.s death,
that he had surrendered; th it Cam;-
bell, the man who was promoted for the
act, exclaimed with an oath. “Th t s

equally sj with others, was surprised:
A PROCLAM TION.
Whereas, undar the pretence that
Win. P. Kellogg, the Kxecutiveof Lou
sian t, and the officers ass iciated with
him in the State ad uinistrati »n. were
duly elected, certain turbulent and dis
orderly pars ins h tve c iinbiiud together
with force and arms to resist the laws
and constituted auth irities of said State
aud whereas it has been duly certified
by the Inferior and Supreme Courts o:
sad State,that said officers are entitled
to hold their offices respectively, and
execute and d.ach irga the functions
thereof, aud whereas Congress, at its
late session, upon a due considerate not
the subject, tacitly recognized the said
Hxecutive and his associates then and
now iu office, by Refusing to take any
action with respect thereto; and where
as it is provided in the Constitution of
the United States, that the United
States sh til protect every State in the
Union on application of the Legislature,
or of the Uxecutive when the Legisla
ture cannot be convened, against- do
mestic violence; and
Whereas it is provided in the laws of
the United States that iu all cases ol
ins.aroeci7.Hl in <iny State, or of obstruc
tion to the laws thereof, it^sliull be law
ful for the President of the United
States, on application of the Legisla
ture of each State, or of the Executive,
when the Legislature cannot be con
vened. to call forth the militia of any
of these States, and to employ such
part of the land and naval forces as shall
be judged necessary for the purpose ol
suppressing such insurrection, or caus
ing the laws to*be duly executed; and
whereas the Legislature of the said
State is now in sessiou and cannot be
convened in time to meet the present
emergency, and the Executive of said
State, under section four of article sev
enty-eight of the Constitution of the
United States, and the laws passed iu
pursuance there if. has made application
to me for such pirtof the miliary force
of the United States as may be neces
sary and adequate to protect said State,
and the citizens thereof against domes
tic violence, and to enforce the due exe
cute n of the laws; and whereas it is
required that whenever it may be neces
sary. iu the judgment of the President,
to use the military f rce for the pur
p se aforesaid, he shall forthwith, by
proclamation, c imniand such insurgents
