One of the Ways of plundsring the Treasury.

The Union and American of Friday copies
an ill-natured hit at Gen. ZoL1ooFFER from
the Ohio Statesman, edited by Samuel Medary,
and remarks
Gen. ZolicofFer in his speech, gives the names of
several Office holders and Judges from these names
that the men in question foreigners. Among
these names is that Of Samuel Medary, of Ohio,
who was appointed Minister to one Of the South
American Governments, but did not accept Mr..
hedary is one of the most distinguished editors in
the country, and as Gen. ZolicOifer has been HIM
self an editor he should have known something of
the man. But no. He thinks Medary foreign
name, and classes him among the suspected Oh &C.
count of that name.
This paragraph does Gen. ZoLLIooFFER pal
pable injustice; and the Union and american
may find in the end that Nedary is already too
soek kn0Wn for his oaon fame. Gen. ZoLLIooF-
FER, in his speech, did not ''give the names of
several ofice-holders, and judge from these
names that the men in question were foreign
ers." He gave the names of Medary and other
ofice-holders as among those who were listed
in the Government Blue Book "toithout any
description of birth place, implying that they
sSere not born in the United States" The law
is explicit in requiring the birth place to be set
down, when known. If born in any State in
this Union, it would seem that the fact ought
TO have been know and where the birth
place is not given, as commanded by the law,
it is not an unreasonable inference that it is be-
cause it is unknown, and out of the United
States. In Nedary's case, neither Medary nor
our neighbor venture to deny that he is of for
eign birth. This Medary, who now, if we
mistake not, supports Chase, the late abolition
U. S. Senator, as candidate for Governor in
Ohio and who controls the masses of the for
eign vote in that State, is the same notorious
individual who, when appointed Minister to

Such a stain upon the highest diplomatic rank
of America is, We believe, without precedent

The Approaching State Fslrs.

We cannot too frequently remind our read
ers that the time for holding the State Fairs
in this city-the first State Fairs ever held in
Tennessee-is fast approaching. The time for
preparation is short, and every one who feels
an interest in these exhibitions should be active
henceforth. The Agricultural Fair will be
held at the Walnut Race Course, convenient
TO the city, under the jurisdiction of the Stale
Agricultural Bureau. The spacious theatre
will comfortably seat $4,000 persons. The
premium list amounts to $4,000, and is intend
ed to embrace every department of Agricultu-
raj, Mechanical and Manufacturing industry.
The State Fair of the Mechanics Institute
will be held at Odd Fellows Hail. Articles
intended for the exhibition should be shipped
10 the President NJ. NJ. MONOGRAM, care of W.
II. GORDON & Co., who viii receive and store
free oil charge.

Tho Legislature.

We observe that some of the anti-American pa
pers are setting up claims TO Mr.. Galloway, the
Representative from Henderson, one likely to act
with their party in the Legislature. If they new
d. J. Galloway as well as we do, they would never
Intimate he was likely TO join the Locofoco party.
Rest Tenn. Wing
In connection with the above we may re-
mark that the list of members elect to the
Legislature originally published by the Union
and american, and which has found its way
into some American papers, among others the
West Tennessee Wing, COPIED from the Mem
phis BuLJetia,) contains several fragrant errors,
which we hope our Jackson contemporary will
correct before republishing. Among the SEN
ators we notice that ALFRED P. HALL of Ben
ton, and R. P. CALDWELL of Gibson, are classed
as Wings. We take the liberty of informing
all concerned, that both these gentlemen are
ont and out Americans, and advocated the
principles of that party boldly and effectually
on the stump throughout the canvass. In the
House the list alluded to puts down CLOUD of
Claiborne as Democrat. He is Wing, and
always las been. Geo. Kinney, fioater from
Greene, &C., is claimed as Democrat. The
Rogerville Times, published in one of his coun-
ties says he is q member of the American par
~. CoLBURN of BlOunt, is claimed as Dem
ocrat. The most that can be said of him is
that he is in doubt here. We hear conflicting
reparts as to his position.

Our exchanges are filed with the heart-sick-
ening details of the plague at Norfolk, in the
severity of which. there seems to be no abate-
ment. A letter from that place, dated the 4th,
says:
e0ne day last week there were fifty eight deaths,
the next forty pine-and that is awful out of 700.
II the mortality was as great in Charleston in pro-
portion TO population il would be about 400 day
What do you think of that ? We are now putting
two bodies in one box-cofins not to be had. An
old man told me he had buried his last child in a
soap boz, as he.could not get coffin. One body
was lying in house eight days before it was buried.
store was smelling very badly and they broke 1t
open, and found dead body. You cannot walk
the streets without smelling the decomposng bodies
Persons have shut themselves up, and are taken
sick and die without any knowing it, until they
smell so bad as to cause the house to be broken
open. We have been burning tar in the hospital
yard. The negroes are not exempt from it here at
all We have over 80 cases-there are between
so and 90 cases in the house now. We lose from

now there is body lying in the yard all night 10

put there with the others. We have no lantern to
take out in the yard SO will be obliged to leave the
bodies there till morning. have just tied down
man, and they are tying down another. Inc
screams here are perfectly awful"
The work of charity progresses, and throughout
the land sympathisng feeling has been elected,
which evnces itself not in words but deeds. Were
we to recount all the truly benevolent acts that this
calamity has induced, our columns could not con-
tain the record but occasionally instance occurs
which imperahvely demands notice, and in that
category we must class the conduct OF Mr. LEVI
Rowe, Jr., of New Haven, as described in the sub
joined extract from letter dated from that city the
Sd inst, and received yesterday:
"New Haven has already raised thousand dol
lars in cash for the sufferers at Norfolk. One gen.
tleman, Levi Rowe, Jr. has given me one hundred
dollars in money besides four hundred tons of lce
now in Norfolk with the free of his ice-houses
there. This ice is well worth to him two thousand
dollars. May not New Haven be proud of such
noble fellow
In response to the request of the Norfolk CON-
mittee to obtain the use of Fort Monroe, as place
of refuge, tae President after consultation with the
Cabinet, caused an order to be issued to the CON-
mandant of the Gosport Navy Yard, giving him
directions to advance a months pay to the en-
ployees who wish to leave, and to close the yard if
at the same time directing commandments
OF other navy yards to employ the refugees
With regard to Fort Monroe, the President as
signed as a reason for not granting the request,
that there was no suitable place TO remove tue
troops and occupants, numbering 1900 in all, and
time would be required for preparation and removal

Speaker Of the House.

N. NJ. Brien, Esq, of DeKalb county, member
elect to the next legislature, is spoken of by
Of the Know nothing prints as a suitable person for
the Speakership of the House. Mr.. B. is an
anti-Know nothing Wing, and the object of the
Know-nothings we presume to be to place him in
the Speakers chair and thus secure his cooperation
with that party. We have no idea that they will
succeed in their game.-COIumbiG Herald.
The anti-American party are determined to
have Hon. NJ. M. Brien on their side, nolens 90
lens. Wehave heretofore corrected the state
ment, and placed Col. B. where he belongs
in the ranks of the American party, but anti
American editors persist in displacing him.
We cant imagine what their object is, but
whatever it is, if condition of success is the
cooperation of Col. B. 1--WE have no idea they
will succeed in their game"
