How A MAN FEEt.s WHEN HES DRUNK.
II well remember TO this day how
! felt the first time | got elegantly
drunk. The street seemed to be very
steep, and lifted my legs at every
step as if ! was getting up stairs.
Several cart wheels were making
evolutions in my brain, and at one
time fancied that my head was
large carving and turning establish.
ment. the lathes Of which was keep
ing in motion with my own feet. |
could not conceive what was the rea-
son that the town had turned into
such an enormous hill, and, what
made it worse, was, it seemed al! the
while to be growing higher. aud
threatened to pitch over upon me.
Stop, stop. thought /, and I'll head
this old hill yet, or, at least, it shan't
head me. So ! turned round to 40
down, and get to the bottou;, bit
hang me if the town didn't turn round
with me, heading me all the time, and
presenting bluff in front of me.
Well, sure enough, the ground flew
up and struck me on the forehead,
and as soon as the stars cleared away,
] commenced climbing with my hands
and knees. The next thing | saw
was a big brick house coming full
split round the corner! and believe
it ran over me, for ] don't remember
any more. ST TTghn.

Soss or TbMrERAscE--THe Speuhing.
Thursday last, was day Of exit
ing interest in Knoxville A great
crowd was in the city. The friends
Of the Temperance cause were
here, from several counties, and a
new impetus was given to a cause,
which we scruple not to say has al
ready been productive Of much and
lasting good. The occasion was that
Of meeting Of the Grand Division
Of the Sons Of Temperance, Of the
State Of Tennessee. The procession
formed at an early hour and proceed
ed by the Knoxville Brass Band,
marched to the Methodist Church,
where, for upwards of two hours, d
crowded house Of ladies and gentle
men, listened with intense interest, to
DR. PHILIP $. WniTE, native of
Kentucky, the renowned advocate Of
the Temperance cause, who now is
extensively known, as an able, per-
suasive. and most effective speaker.
We have listened to temperance ora
tors for more than twenty years, in
different States, and we have no hesi-
fancy in saying that he is the most
efficient speaker we have ever heard.
The matter of his addresses, and the
arrangement, are only equalled by the
inimitable style in which they are
delivered. The exact resemblance
of Mr.. White, to James Watson Weeb,
a man for whom we have great con-
tempt constituted our only objection
to him, but his superior efforts, and
the goodness of the cause in which
he was engaged, made us forget
Webb before he had proceeded far.
Mr.. White has certainly devoted
much of his time and talent to the
study of human nature, and we take
it that he has been an apt scholar.
He looks into the heart Of mamie
analyses his motives and desires--he
probes his aimperfections and weak
ness--and he shows up with skill.
frail andimperfect humanity as shows
itself among the masses. Such genius.
lofty principles, disinterested action
wide, practical views, and Intellectual
developernents as Mr.. White displays,
are certainly the lot Of few men.
Mr.. White spoke again at night,

Startling News, if true!

Il Southern Republic IN alliance 1Cith
NericO. - The Washington correspon-
dent, "Intependent,' of the Philadelphia
North American, makes, in that paper of
Tuesday, the following revelation as TO
an attempted act of treason. by one Of
those patriotic gentlemen las yet unknown
of the South-disunion school. who are
striving so hard 10 ruin themselves and
render the name of freedom ridiculous.
As the North American says: "It only
needs the idea of an alliance with Mexico
to complete the absurdity and iniquitY Of
the whole scheme of a Southern Repub-
lie. The disumonlsts are only fit 10 be
McXicans," The following is the cor
respondents narrative:
.'Wh hat | am about 10 relate is capable
of official veriicauon, if the proper means
are taken. | learn, upon the most direct
and undoubted authority, that gentleman,
represented TO occupy position OF high
influence and character i'll the South, visi>
ted Mexico in A pril last, 1cOgIait0, and
submitted complete plan for the GT@afli-
cation OF Southern confederacy, of which
that city was proposed as the capital, as a
means of inducing the cooperation Of
Mexico. The project was submitted to
the Mexican Cabinet by Mr.. Lacunza,
the minister of Foreign Affairs, and was
urged by him at a meeting which immc-
diatcly followed, when a discussion of
great interest and excitement occurred.
The proposition was declined, and the
emissary started for California. Mr..
Doyle, the British Minister, was cognizant
of all the proceedings, and was consulted
throughout.
IL am restrained, by proper and prudent
considerations affecting others, from eX-
posing the manner and influences by
hich the scheme was rejected in the
Mexican cabinet; but if brought to light,
they would reflect the highest honor on
the parties concerned. The day may
come when full publication may be at
tended with less danger. | have felt II
due TO the country that this infamous pur
pose should be understood, in order that
the designs of reckless dcmagogues, who
are now preaching disunion, should be
properly appreciated, and visited with that
storm of execration which such treason
deserves. | have some reason TO believe
that the late President of the United
States was apprized of this movement,
and had exercised his usual sagaclty in
counteracting any unfortunate consequen-
ces."
