HiUVt I A U\,. I'O BCtl AIO. KB. i\3i Felon by t:UcfrU l!>. The usual prayer was said, the usu al thunks tendered and greetings giv en; the cord won adjusted on my neck, I jvas placed upon the trap, looked so the last time on familiar objects, the cup wuh adjusted over my face, I felt ft grout Lwitt arour.ri my heart, a fulness of the throat, h slight weakness of the muscles of my limbs, then an involun tary shrinking of the nerves .and a catching of breath as I felt myself full ing, then a tierce, fiery pain shot through my whole frame, my head seemed bursting, and my consciousness was gone. How loug I remained unconscious 1 do not know, but when sensibility re t irned it was entirely mental. Tin shock of my fall had evidently paralyz ed the nervous sensibilities and" des troyed the physical capacity of sense, but my mental powers were soon re sumed in a wonderful manner, for my earliest remembrance of anything win the combination of all the colors of the prism glowingrudiantly before my eyes. Os course I did uot see them with my eyes, but l seemed to see them thus, aa the}’ glowed, and waved, and blend ed, then separated, then reformed them selves in new combinations, and danc ed and laughed with a brilliancy far exceeding the rainbow’s painting or the prism’s power. This gorgeous scene began to fade away, and my next sensation was in! o a sea of light; not tire light of the sun. or such a light as is made by any chem ical combination, but light of dazzling, glowing, glorious whiteness, and pnii tv, of which my own mind seemed to be apart. I now began to observe my own condition; I knew that my whole t ody was grown cold and rigid, the only perceptible warmth being in my heart, and I wondered how long it would be before that too should be come cold like the balance, and I should certainly die. I oven speculated upon the pain I sboifld have to endure when that spot did grow cold—but I never knew. While I thus took note of th° physical condition, my mind, >vith gradually increased power, was fully occupied. Before me in review, and then gathered around me, were all the transactions—of good or evil—of life; there was nothing forgotten —nothing absent. I saw them all, knew and rec ognized them all. Even minute and insignificant circumstances, which at that time had made no impression on me, were now there, and I became ful ly aware of the fact that this sentiment being which, animated by the body, would not die, but li\e on, and on, and on eternally, and eternally surrounded by and in companionship, with all the transactions of physical life. Everlast ing life was as conclusively shown to me as if the spirit that had been dead a thousand years had spoken to me the fact. But how was Ito exist ? I knew X was not a part of any body; in fact I desired to entirely sever the connec tion with it, and impatiently waited uutil the warm spot of my heart should grow cold. Had I been at liberty to accept or reject au offer of return to vitality, I should have rejected it. In vain I applied all the brilliant powers of my’ purified mind to pierce the fu ture, even to comprehend the presuit. I recalled my early instructions, and sought for yawning gulfs and cryow&l i gates, but cn the one hand I found no devouring fiends, and on the other 1 saw no gleaming chariots; I heard no . songs of joy nor wailings of woe, nor found any other being than tuy own. I existed in my former Lfe, and, so far as I could discover, would continue to exist there forever. This was not de- ] nimble, but from it I saw ro way of j ♦.jcape. I have no idea of the time passed in this condition, but it must have been i ali the time required by medical judg ment to deprive me of life, for iu the m ; d-it of my speculations I became aware of the removal and handling of my body. I remembered 1 thought they were about to bury me, and, as 1 was not dead, I wished to protest against it. I loathed the idea of being incarcerated in the grave with my be dy or having further companionship with it. I did not know what was being done, but I felt myself in motion for a time, and thou the motion ceased; then thorn was a quick, sharp, rending pain, a fearful struggle of the whole physic al powers, a writhing, an anguish far worse than the anguish of death, and sensibility and senses slowly returned to me; once more my heart which had never grown col l, throbbed, my vital functions were partially reestablished, and again i became burdened with the cares, anxieties and sorrows of life. — To me it has beer one long sorrow, and, without joy or hope, I await the time when I shall once more bathe in that sea of light, once more gather around me the radiance of life everlasting. My resuscitation was the result of an application of electricity and the skill of a surgeon For a few days, until I had partially recovered my strength, I was concealed, and then fled the coun try.

I A few days ago he officiated iu Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr’s church, in this city. While he was preaching he was,: suddenly afflicted with blindness, and obliged to close the services before the i proper termination. Physicians were ; summoned, among whom were some of l the best oculists in New York, who ex amined his unusual and peculiar care. It was decided that his eyes were in a very critical condition, and that for ft month, at least, he must remain in a room, whers no ray of light can reach them.

[ The election news from Tennessee, 1 published this morning, conveys the gratifying intelligence that the Con ■ servative pai ty has carried the State by an over whel tuning majority. Thus one by one the Southern States arc fading into line under the glorious ban ner of Democracy. Radicalism has been killed in Tennessee and the thou sands of white men, heretofore disfran chised and outraged in all their right*, of person and property, will be reliev ed from the infamous tyranny of Rad ical misruK It is highly probable that Andrew Johnson will be sent to the United States Senate. President Grant, and his administration and the Radical party wdl find in the ex-President a powerful opponent, and the South, let us hope, an earnest and effective ad vocate. Differing widely and radically from Mr. Johnson iu the past, w’e be lieve that the people rs Tennessee will subserve not only their own interests bnt the entire interests of the whole South by sending him to the Senate. With all his faults—and lie has many of them to answer fox*— he hates the party in power with an undying, uncompromising hatred. Andrew Johnson is still a strong man and he will work unceasingly and effec tively, we believe, for the overthrow of that party which still wars upon the South. And in this he wll work good for the Southern people. It will lie an act of contrition and a partial repara tion for tho wrongs which he inflicted upon our section as well as for the many other grie vous acts of his past political life. - Chronicle A Sentinel. More Important Decisions— Another Heavy Mrolie tor Siellef. Our Supreme Court, in theirrulings delivered yesterday’, delivered one that will be found in another column, that carries relief a goo 1 many degrees to perfection. In the case of L. N. B. Battle versus James A. Shivers, from Warren Supe rior Court, the tremendous, and we are constrained to say, iniquitous dic tum is promulgated that the suspens ion of the Statute of Limitations dur ing the war did not apply to the lien of judgments, but that notwithstand ing the collection of judgments was absolutely stopped, the limitation of their lien continued, and they must be come dormant unless levied in the sev en years, prescribed for keeping judg ments alive. It boots us not to look into the law of the thing The political ruling of the court stands the supreme law of the land, and must be obeyed. Judge Warner, who dissent t, as he has done heretofore, from all the courts Radical decisions, rips to pieces the flimsy reas oning of Chief Justice Brown and Judge McCny, and exposes in his own unvarnished and .scathing way, the bad law and worse faith of the legal con clusions oi lib colleagues. We have to do, for practical purpos es now, only with the results of the de cision. All judgments seven years old, that have no entry on them to keep them alive,, are dormant, ami lose their =Jien, and must be sued like accounts, or no lea, or anything else unsued. They are simply subject matter and rights to sue. It is impossible so estimate the amount of debts that will thereby .be killed. It will ran almost, if not quite, to millions. Hundreds upon hundreds of claims, now nestling cosily’ and safe ly in coffers and pocket-books, and desks, and believed to be as sound as : gold, and as certain 01 recovery as the bond-holders deem their fat gold in terest, are as defunct as door nails, 1 Hundreds of robustious, executions, with broad acres of rich lands legally bound for their payment, have, by this decision, lost their clutch up 11 solven cy’, and now’ lie as flabby as worthless rags, and as lifeless as dead men’s bones. And in numberless cases the very State government, whose judicia ry thus administers the deadly blade to honest claims, forbade by its legis lative authority the collection of these claims, and is, therefore, responsible that they are to-day defunct. And when it is considered that in countless cases, men, innocently trust ing the integrity of solemn law—that law the beneficent creation of their own cherishing government for her children, have not levied, because they were merciful to debtors, worse than Punic faith of this matter i- patent. Little recked they that political phy lacteries, while they might invade the bench with polluting contagion, could j yet venture so far as to debauch, not | simply the integrity of law, but defile the very faith of the government to her confiding and helpless children. Bold as have been the innovations of Radicalism upon the soundest and most time-honored enlight ened jurisprudence, this seems to us; the most audacious aggression yet made upon our established system of law. From this forward, we shall consider nothing sure, however stably grounded in legal philosophy, and fortified by in disputable legal theory. We will notice but one more result of this decision, and then cease. While thousands of judgments will be destroyed that were deemed uncon ditionally solvent, thousands of youn ger judgments, that were regarded as worthless will gain new vitality from the removal of older conflicting liens. (Atlanta Constitution 4th. Rev. Rowland Hill, was reproved by 1 a Church member for his pride in rid ing in a carriage, and not, like Christ, being content with an ass.

Stephens, angry at a JudgeY bad ruling, left the court muttering wrath.

As late as last year it was mucL j as a Southern Methodist could do to preach in this county, and tho othej | churches were equally antagonistic, ir: | their differences of polities. It is an evidence of a better feeling, and though we think the union a long ways off, wt are glad to notice this change: The Quarterly Conference of th< Dandridge and Newmarket Circuit ol the Methodis Episcopal Church, through their Pastor, Rev. Albert G. Watkins and Secretary W T . M. McLean, presented the following resolution* which were unanimously paused and ordered to be published in the Knoxville Whig and Press and Her ald.: Resolved. That this Quarterly Con ference heartily endorse the proposi tion recently made by the Bishop ol the M .E. Church to the Bishops of the M F. Church South, having reference to the divisions and looking to a reunion of the two ecclesia tical bodies; sincerely hoping that an ami cable adjustment, honorable and sat isfactory to both Churches, may be speedi 1 y accoi> 1 plished. Resolved, That it is the unanimous voice of this Quarterly Conference, that we will take pleasure in extending to the M. E. Church South and their min isters, all the courtesies and amenities that are extended to other Christian denominations, even regreting the past differences and deprecating anything that may arise in the future contrary to a true Christian spirit.

Our Supreme Court on Tuesday, delivered another of their rulings that have a special importance for our peo ple, in connection with the times.— Large amounts of money, are concern ed and the heaviest interests of that large class of legal characters known as fiduciary, as guardians, administra tors, executors, etc. The case was Killes Brown, against Win. Wright, from DeKalb. The Court decided that a prudent guardian, who before January, 1863, loaned money of his wards on negro security, is not liable, because of negro emancipation, whereby the money was lost. And that a guardian who took confederate money, in good faith for debts due liis wards, when prudent men were generally tailing such mon ey, is protected: and if he loaned the funds, so received before the Ist days of January, 1863, on good security, and they were lost, by the results of the war, he is not liable. Hundreds of guardians, executors, trustees. Ac., took Confederate money, which was lost, who have been stud, or threatened with suit, who willuow be relieved.—At, Const. 30th. CBITUABIT.

It was just 10 years last Wednesday since this sen tence was fulfilled. Now we find tbis convicted criminal offered the position of United States Minister for Liberia. I ThL is a curious illustration of the changes wrought by time. To which the Plain Dealer adds: About ten years ago Daniel E. Sick les committed a cowardly murder in the streets of Washington. Now 7 he repre sents the United States at the Court of Spain. Less than ten years ago Governor Joe Brown, of Georgia, was the leader of the secession movement, and after i wards the originator, builder and man | ftger of the Andersonville prisoner’s | pen, in which so many thousands of Union Soldiers perished. Now 7 Brown ! in the leader of the Radical party in j Georgia. Considerably less than ten years ago General Longstreet was at the head of a rebel arroy, dealing death to om Union Soldiers. Now he is appointed by Grant to a lucrative position in the i city of New Orleans. Ten years ago Benjamin Butler, at I the Chariest >n Convention voted 53 i times for Jeff. Davis as a candidate for ! President, and, at that time, was a poor man. Now he is at the head and j ; —the very quintessence of Radicalism J ; —and worth his millions of dollars. Ten years ago Ulyses S. Grant was a ! i penniless pensioner on the bounty of j j the Dent, family. Now he is the Pres- ! : ident of the United States, and the ; entire Dent family are pensioners on j 1 the Government. | Ten years ago the National debt was ; i about GO millions of dollars; now it is j i nearly three thousand millions. Ten years ago not a National fas j i gatherer was to ba seen or heard of in ; this broad land; now they are as nu- j i morons as lice on a cabbage. These are certainly “curious illustra | tions of the great changes wrought by j Time.'' Terrible Itctiibuflon. The Chronicle & Sentinel has relia ble information of a terrible tragedy that occurred recently in one of the mountain counties of this State. Two neighbors designated as R. and L., both formerly wealthy, lived near each other and were on terms of inti macy. R, Who is a comparatively young man, Las recently married a beautiful lady. L. was about 55 years of age, his wife near the samo age, and they have a daughter who is an inti mate friend of Mrs. R., 25 years old. — Mr. It. having been called from home for a few days, his wife sent for Miss L. to come and spend the night with her, as she would be entirely alone, the servant’s bouses being nearly a. half a mile away. The father of Miss L. re fused to let her go, and she so inform ed Mr?. R. about nine o’clock. Mrs. It. not knowing what else to do, fast ened up the house, and taking a very large and fierce yard dog into her room for protection, retired. About mid-night she was awakened by the fierce growling of her faithful protector, and hearing someone in the other room, she demanded who was there. She was ordered to open the door, an! in spite cf her entreaties and threats, the door was forced open by the ruffian. Quick as thought the fu rious dog seized the intruder by the neck, and soon had him in deadly con flict. Mrs. R. darted from the room and made all possible haste to the res idence of Mr. L. She soon awoke the family, and, Mr, L, not being at homo, his wife and daughter, together with some of the servants, accompanied her back home. Tho scene there presented was one of horn r and astonishment, beyond all power of description. We can imagine the feeling of Mrs. L. and her daugh ter, as they beheld tho husband and father pale in death, and the dog still growling at his throat. Intense excitement was produced in the neighborhood, on the following day when the facts became known, but the general feeling was one of thankfulness that Providence had provided speedy and suitable punishment for the fiend ish criminal.
