TEMPERANCE SPEAKING.-During the past
week our citizens have favored with three Lee
lures by J. E. VINToN, upon the subject OF
Temperan ce, which surpassed any thing of the
kind we have heard. Mr.. VINroN is beyond
doubt one of the ablest champions of the cause
he has eSpoused in the Union. His efforts here
were received with applause, and he could have
had crowded houses, had he continued with us
for much greater length of time. AS deba-
ter, he possesses the power in an extraordinary
degree, of eondensing his arguments, and Of
applying his propositions by appropriate illus
triations.
Mr.. VINToN is native of New York, and is
known in many places as the NohaUk Dutch
man. He has been aboring faithfully and
efficiently in the Temperance cause for the last
eight or ten years, and during that time has
travelled over the greater part of the United
States. He goes from here to Knoxville, thence
to Chattanooga. We hope he will receive a
cordial greeting at every point he may go. We
hope to have the pleasure again of a hearing
from him in Loudon.

RAILROAD-IRON.

In the U. S. Senate Mr.. Bell of Tennessee
has presented memorial from the stockhol-
ders in the Tennessee and Alabama Railroad
asking, that the duty on Railroad iron may be
wholly repealed, or if not, that the collection
therefore be postponed until two years after the
completion of the roads. These memorialists
ask it on the ground of public utility, because
this country cannot furnish more than a quar-
ter part of the rails required for the next five
years from the want of the capital, experience,
and proper machinery; that the English can
turn out rails from s25 to $50 per ton less first
cost to the purchaser thar the American, ex-
elusive of freight insurance, and commission;
and because the importance ofthe Tennessee and
Alabama road, in connection with that of Gen.
trail Kentucky, for military, postal and CONNER
cial purposes, is conceded by all &c.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Cobb
submitted the following resolution:
ResOlced; That the committee of Ways and
Means be instructed to report back House bill
No. Is, with recommendation that it do pass,
which proposes to extend the time of payment
of the duties on railroad iron by paying six
per cent per annum.
On motion of Mr.. Robbins, the resolution
was laid on the table.

The LATE GENERAL ARMsTRoNG.--Gener-
al Robert Armstrong of the Washington I'm
ion, whose death we announced IN our tele-
graphic column on Saturday morning, was a
native of East Tennessee; his age was about 50
years. He moved at an early day to Nashville,
where he lived as Merchant and Postmaster
until 1916, when Mr.. Polk, the President elect,
gave him carte blanche to make choice OF any
post of honor or profit in the gift OF the new
Administration. As he had been his conhden-
tial counsellor while canvassing for Governor
of the State, aud his most efficient and iaitu-
entail friend in the hotly contested Presidep
tial campaign against Mr.. Clay, in 1874, tb{s
mark of gratitude was not undeserved, and the
result was the selection of the CounsulShip at
Liverpool, to which Gen. Armstrong was APP
pointed.
Few men enjoyed so long and constantly
and so nearly the confidence ofGen. jackson,
as this gentleman. His personal influence over
the old Hero was almost unbounded, and un-
like The mere parasites who followed his for
tunes for the advancement they promised, it
may be said, in Just praise of his memory, that
he never abused it to selfish or wicked ends
The intimacy was first of the camp, and subse'
quenty of the hearthstone. The respect entire
ly mutual. The political promotion to which
this enviable position at the Hermitage might
have raised General Armstrong, was uniformly
declined. The Postofice at Nashville was be-
slowed on him in 1922 and was excepted as
the means of support to large family. He
made an efficient officer, popular with all par
ties, and so generally and highly regarded BY
his Wing neighbors, that on the incoming OF
Gen. Harrison's administration in 1871, they
not only refused to petition for his removal, but
interposed an influence at Washington to. pre-
vent it.
General Armstrong earned his military IT,
ties, to the highest of which he was promoted
in the Florida war of 1886, by active feld-ser-
vice. He was volunteer Lieutenant in the
campaigns of 1895, and was severely wound
ed at the battle of Talladega, against the Creek
Indians, while gallantly defending field piece,
of which his company had charge. In private
life, he was kind neighbor and generous
friend; and although his party affinities owere.
warm and decided, they were uniformly held
subordinate to his social relations.

Lynch6wg V1giuian.-By some means, we
failed to announce at the time, the change in
the proprietorship of this excellent journal
Maj. Shields has withdrawn from it, and it is
now under the control of Messrs. Mcdonald

The Generals Of the British Army.-A wri.
ter in late number of the London Times
gives some interesting facts respecting the
senior officers of the British army. He says
that nine-tenths of the Maior-Generals are up
wards of go years of age. Of the 259 full CO.
lOnels, l59 are upwards of 80 years of age, a
period of life at which an officer in the French
army, unless specially exempted, is placed on
the retired list; and the remaining lO3 full colo
nels are between Al and 60. The writer states
the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon were
As years of age when they finished their militia,

gest major-general in the British army at pres

and there are only two full colonels who have

Statue Of Washington.-It is well known
that the last Congress made appropriation for
an equestrian statue of Washington, in bronze,
to be executed by Clark Mills.
This gentleman has entered into preliminary
arrangements f0r the great work; having cree
ted extensive buildings on his grounds, several
miles from this city, towards Bladensburg.
From what we have learned on this subject.
interesting to all who revere the name of the
Father of his Country, the statue will be of I'M
mense proportions, tie head of the orse to be
light feet in length, or four times larger than in
the natural subject. and the nose of Washington
fifteen inches in length. These points will af-
ford some idea of the contemplated size of the
statue. The design now is to elevate it to a
hight of seventy feet, that it may be seen miles
distant from every direction.
It will be remembered by the readers Of his
tory. that after a midnight march, the Ameri-
can army approached Princeton and there en-
paged the British in one of the hottest conflicts
of the revolution. At first the latter; with fixed
bayonets, compelled the former to retreat, with
considerable loss. Washington, with the body
of the army then came on, and renewed the at
tack with great spirit, which finally resulted in
victory to the American forces. The horse OF
Washington had rushed impetuously too near
the lines of the British hosts, ahd there halted,
exposing its illustrious rider to the leaden hail
of the enemy.
The artist has chosen, for the exercise of
skill. this incident of the battle, as affording an
opportunity to represent the warhorse, his neck
"ciothed with thunder" "the glory of his nos
trils terrible" who "paweth in the valley, and
reioiceth in his strength, and goeth on to meet
the armed men," with, in contrast, the calm,
self possessed, determined chief unmoved amid
the surrounding danger Contrast is as impor-
tant in sculpture as light and shade are in
painting Washington Sentinel.

4 From the Liyernool Timas

The american Legation--Plain Dress
Some stir has been caused in diplomatic circles
by the absence of the American Ambassador
from the opening..of Parliament on Tuesday
The Times Numbered in its account oftba cor.
erony thus:
"Only one exception to official uniform was
observable, and the gentleman in question. who
appeared in evening dress and seemed unpleas.
antly conscious of his singularity, was at once
set down as the American Minister"
The mistake on the part of the leading morn.
ing paper was too good thing to be passed
over, and the Globe accordingly lost no time
in supplying the real facts.
Neither the Minister nor any member of
the Legation" says the evening Ministerial
organ,, "was present, information having been
sent by the master OF ceremonies that members
OF the Diplomatic orps must appear in court
dress, which cannot be worn by the American
Legation without dsregarding Instructions
The Daily News is highly indignant at this
alleged insult put upon the American people
and Government and our democratic eotempo.
rary speaks out in this style:
"There can be very little dout that deliber.
ate insult has been offered to the great nation
"ASA "HiSh vi OH OIhCio; IL UcCOuleS us 10 enter
tain the best relations We will leave ont Of
consideration the magnitude of trade with A.
merica, the community of language, the COM
mon stock-we will only point to the possible
position in which England may be placed. in
the course ofthe war into which it seems we
are entering. We hope, however, that a cause
for ill-feeling will not arise between the two
great Anglo-Saxon nations on subject which
is fitted to be debated only between couple of
Chamberlains of defunct Principaities of the
ancient Germanic, confederation"
The most circumstantial account of this silly
business appears in the columns of the Morn
ing Advertiser:
SIR Buchanan, we understand, wrote two
letters for cards of admission to his suite and
others. No answer was vounchsafed to these,
save printed form, stating that court dress
conld not be dispensed with, and two tickets.
one for lady, who does not even exist
ain this manner Governor Seymour, U. S.
Ambassador to the Court of Russia, who is
now on his way to St. Petersburg, was proven
ted from being present, although he applied to
his Minister to get him licked of admission.
He will probably be very differently entertain
ed by the Emperor of all the French and the
Car of Russia, both of whom will "condeScend"
to dispense with Court livery"
