Brown spoke far llie Union, and George Muncy was elo quent as to the past and hopeful as to the tut lire, Kx Governor Brown proposed the perpe tnity of the Union, and was heartily sus. tained. ’ ' Col. Sam Tate, of Memphis, took an active part in the proceedings. He proposed ns a toast, “The Industrial Interests’of Tcunes- s«w.” making one of his Characteristic and tmtlifhl speeches, which was received with unanimous approbation. The utmost harmony nnd good feeling pre vailed throughout the occasion, and the dis tinguished guests of the evening, one and all, expressed themselves much gratified at the demonstration and tbe ttate of Reeling pre vailing. . •* ’' ' ¥ , V The beauty and chivalry of Middle Ten nessee were "in attendance, and beard with satisfaction the expressions of gratification of the dist ngulshed party. Party and poli tics were laid ankle and sections were for gotten, to the general satisfaction of all. Ex-Gev. > till S. Brown appealed for the South in appropriate terms, and was eloquent, ns usual, in her behalf. He was decidedly for the Union, he said, and hoped for recon struction. General George Muncy, a hand pom* nnd gifted orator, most heartily am) eloquently supported him ; he spoke of tbe gallant st uagle of the South as a Southern man, anil is such pledged himself to the per petuation if the United States Government. Michael Burns, President of the Nashville and Chnt .nnooga Railroad, and Col. More land' closed the occasion with appropriate ireraarks. The affair was in the high est. degree gratifying and satisfactory We nre by no means averse to a thorough inspection of the true state of things at the Sonth by these people; we only wish they could bell ild ten times more than they are likely to see; for we feel confident that good would result They can only. gain glimpses of the cour.try and acquire tbe merest morsels of information in their hurried trips on rail road and steamboat; yet there are some things they can learn, such as the condition of the railroads, the number, appearance, dress, color nnd conversation of the passengers; tlia fr< quency and length ol the trtina; the amount and kipds of freight These are circurostan ces which will fall under their immediate observation, and nre no bad indexes of the social and financial condition ot the country The general aspect of tho cities; the stocks of goods in the shops; tbe evidences of dilapi dation and decay; or of improvement in pri vate nnd public edifices, will also be instruc tive.’ But beyond what can thus be hastily- gathered by the eye, the trip will put them in possession of but little trustworthy know! edge. We hope that they will be hospitably en tertained, and be allowed to acquire a correct opinion of men, matters and things at the South. Let them learn that, in the truest sense, the Southerners are the friends of the Ireedmen, of tbe laws, and of the Constitution; that they art patriots and men of honor; that they arc guided by principle rather than ex pedicncy; taat they are not factious nor con tumacious, but merely standing np for im mutable right and justice. Let them learn that the prosperity of the Union demands tbe reconstruction of the South; and, above all, try to convince them of the depth of that fol ly which afnets to believe that tho South cannot be t outed in taking part in the pc iitica! goverament of the country.

The ser vice commenced at elevec o’clock at Christ Church, and long before Ate liout named the church was filled tn repletion. The altar and the whole interior of the church was tastefully draped in mourning. The Georgia Historical Society, of which the Bishop was President, wearing tliur badge and tho in signiu ot mourning, were in attendance in large nuntliers. After the service in the chure-h, the procession vaa formed, preceded by several ol the ministers of tbe Episcopal Church. The funeral was the largest that has pro bably ever been seen in til’s city, and during its passage to the cetni-tofj the people throng ed tbe sidewalks and stool in mournful si lence. The negroes, in the midst of their holiday enjoyments, ceasid their sports and f> li into the line in imnime numbers, follow ing thnt man, who in life they loved, and whose memory they reveled, to his last re-6t itig place. Thousands of people trended their way to the cemetery, where the last sad ritis were performed, nf vliii h a pleasing in cident was the beautiful chant by a number of young gentlemen. Thus were the last honors rendered to one wl^ise loss to tiic church, to the country and syc^ety, can never be supplied, nnd whose me-npij will remain dear to all who came witbid the sphere of his acquaintance.—Sap. Jeter and Herald, 27th. General A. BuFouD.—Vye find the fol lowing in tho Kentucky Gazette of the 19th inst: ' »”'!"• I This distinguished soldier lias received bis pardon front the President, and is restored, thereby, to all the rights, privileges, and im munitics of citizenship which be enjoyed be fore engag ng in the mili ary service of the Southern Confederacy. Gmeral Buford saw probably as much hare! service as any soldier during the war, ami w&t as much distin guished for hard fighting at any other. Hav ing once embarked in the “lost cause,” be gave himself heart and soul to it, and where heavy b>ows were to be a ruck, he was sure to be Ifindi .Much of General Forrest’s fame as a tighter is prebaliy due to the coun sel and support afforded by Gen. Buford who acted as his subordinate during several years;'at least such sccmr to be the impres sion of most of the soldiers front that depart meat, witli whom we heve conversed. We congratulate the General on his restoration to complete citizenship, although it did not need Andrew Johnson’s pardon or recom mendation or indorsemeat to entitle him to a district previously ascertained by law, and by a jury front that bailiwick. Now, any law which professes to change that in any respect, looks to me so much like aD attempt to commit judicial murder that I have al ways been afraid to attempt it. I am afraid that traitors in the South, if tried tinder the existing Constitution and laws, will not one of them be convicted. I should never at tempt to try them for treason. I would try them as belligerents, under the law of nations and tbe laws of war. Mr. Lawrence, oi Ohio—We have no rea son to expect of the Administration any such trial. Mr. Stevens—I am stating what I would do if I were the Administration. {Laugh ter.] Now. although I would not discourage trials for treason, I mention thjs to show that I am convinced that none of these traitors can ever be convicted ef treason under our present Constitution and laws; and yet J would rather let every man of them go unpun ished forever than to make, a law now by which they could be punished. I think our Government would be endangered iu its fu ture existence, in its sense of justice, in its character before the world, by conduct ol that kind, more than it would by enduring the evil. I think the British government sul- fered more front its murder of Bussell, al though it was done by means of a court con demning him, than it would have done had he been suffered to escape. It was by just such judicial contrivances as this that that judicial murder was effected, and by which the British government suffered more than it would have done by the escape of forty trai tors. I tliinfc : our Government had better he careful how it tampers with the crime of the remedy. It had better treat them as guilty partly ot a political offense and partly of of fenses malum in re, tlmn now to attempt to pass law-?, because, otherwise, the malefactors might escape.

I know that a gentleman in this city has made public statement which be desired to have considered as equal to the decrees of James and Charles, of England, overruling the law. But it is of uo more importance! than so much waste pnper. The question of peace or war is yet to be decided by this party. I say there is no peace. This nation is still in a belligerent condition; aud the conquered belligerents are within tlie power of the con queror, to be d< alt with ns captives, not as criminals. Therefore, sir, I can see no neces sity for a measure of this sort. But, if there was a necessity, I should certainly object to any alteration of the law as it now exists in regard to treason, which would enable tho Government to convict, where it is confessed that a conviction could not be obtained Under the law as it stood at the time of the commission of the offense. I should be very glad to see coit- dign punishment inflicted upon many of these men, but not capital punishment. I never realized the sufficiency ofthe atonement made by the execution of the miserable Wirz— a Dutchman, I believe, with a hump-back, who was obeying the orders of his superiors, aud who, in ordinary times, when men were tried according to law, would never have been convicted, because his Government was an swerable, not he. I do not believe that the starvation of thousands of Union prisoners is to be atoned for by the execution of one of the keepers. A Dublin letter to the Sunday News says the government officials are frequently sold by stories thnt Stephens had landed at different points on the coast, keeping troops and gunboats constantly on the move. Troops are continually arriving from England, and suspected Irish regiments are transported to England and the colonies. Despite the ex ertions of the authorities, midnight meetings for drill are held all over Ireland, and the people evidently are awaiting Stephens’ arri val to rise, in spite of the great odds against them.
