Bold Attack on a Railroad Train On Wedneada night, about 2 o'clock, »n the traiu <m tti I.oufcville and Nash ville Railroad wnu about five miles from Franklin, Kv., the engineer diseovt red that the road was hai ricaded. lie im mediately slackened speed, lint not until ti e engine, bagjragc ear, and express car was thrown from the track end up a«t. The pas-engers being amus'd, found the traiti surrounded by guerrillas, who fired 'Hie shot, a note of warning. wVVh passed through the car without injuring any one. The guerrillas then entered the sleep ing ear and ordered the passengers tog" forward to the next car. As they erns ed the platform eaeli one was compered to hand over his pocketho"k. One passen ger had five hundred dollars m the sale pocket of his coat, which was snatched from him. Another claims tfi hove lost fifteen hundred dollars. We regret exceedingly to learn that Iter. 11. C II oi nady, of tics c ly, was one of tho unforlunate ones Hus poeket book, containing about two hundred ad twenty-five dollars, was taken. The passengers in the other car, with one exception, were not ml.lied. The white transaction occupied cot more than five minutes, and bc'i.m the passengers fairly recovered from their astonishment the intruders were gone. Col. J. K. Slaughter, front whom wo got otir information, was one of the pas sengers. They got liir p- cketliook con taining only Home liftt-t-n and dials and a few notes. When the guerrillas had departed it was discovered that the H aiti was on lire, having caught from a stove in the ex press car. The pass, tiger Cars wre pushed hack out of danger, but the en gine, express ear and baggage car were burned. None of the express freight was saved, though most of the baggage was removed. Til.- safe of the Express Company even was burned. Before leaving Nashville on Tlnirsd iy. Col. S. leaned that one ol the guen illas had been arrested. There were only eight or ten of *n-m. They had their fares blackened. The man who was arrested had plenty of money ami had f tiled to wash his face clean.- Atlanta Era A Truthful Utterance. In a late speech at tile Cooper Inst - tutein New York, Ex-Guvi-rivr .Seymore said: We have more to fear from the South if it accepts the doctrine of subjugation than we ever had to fear from its armed rebellion; wean enslave men without enslaving • nrs Ives. W eeann t have a Government whose northern face s', ill smile devotion to the popular will, tied whose Southern aspect s!i II lr iwn e m tompt, defiance and h I'e to the people of eleven States. The South has c unr.n a tively lit le to fear from misg vrretnent. It is not wise or safe to trample upon those who, for years, with desp ru'c cmrage, held tlie.r ground against tie* millions * ' e field, and the thousands of millions of treasure w - spent in the contest—i c uihest wh eh filled our homes with rn urning. loaded us down with debt and taxation, and wrought great and lasting eh mg's in policy, the maxims, and si rue'are "four Govert ment. A wise sett etneut of (lend ing quest wms will do much to build up the prosperity of the South; an unwise policy will do more to break down the wealth and prosperity of the North. Sensible Talk The Louisville Democrat says nothing can be more shallow than the hope that any amendments of the Oorstitution can furnish any guarantees against rebel lions. A government that c uld execute itsell without human agency might be safe from rebellions.—ls the Radicals could invent one, they ought »o t ike out s patent for it. It it will protect fier ce sand property, there will he great demand i >r it in the world A government strong enough to pre vent rebellions at all times is too strong for the liberties of its citiz-ns. The chance for insurrections or r •hellion* is the price p lid tor troedom. Ihe on')'se curity for free governn ent is the Consent of the governed. When that is wanted, rebellions wdlcome, of necessity, and •!! paper guarantees are mere trash. The Radicals ought to know*, from personal experience, that Constitutional provi sions are restraint upon interested partizens. ” They know that what would otherwise be unconstitutional, may become laxvtnl bv becoming indispensable to a party object!—How, then, do they expect, l>y tbeir amendmends of the Constitution, to restrain men from reliellion? They may fix uu oatbs of allegiance to a govern mi nt Wlutt and ■ they avail ? All oaths of allegiance are eonditioiial. When a government b< C -ines ‘'destructive of th si e ids,' - it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. we have, pro e aimed, an geneiati ns ol men have acted on it in all countries and all sorts of governments W lien whole Communi ties feel that liny have good reasons to resist the government, :I 1 they want is the provocation and the opportunity. Wrf.\T Dots and Mean? —ln asking ties question the Hall;neae Transcript goes nto say that the South is a this mo ment in the most | rofuiiud quiet and rc fiose. There is not a rebel in arms; (here is not a t'niled Stales soldier nec essary to preserve order in any part of ihe southern States; there is absolutely not a ripple ie t to show where the great ship "! the I lonfederaey sunk, and sunk forever. Yet, at I'ndieal meet i gs, the proposition to march si. tigh'ering, btirn il eg and cohliseat ing columns into this peaceful and unit s sting South, i. receiv ed with uproarious applause. In the name of hamanity, justice and civiliZ'-tioii, what does all this iiu-un?
