The Union and Americans Defence Of A. v. Brow

The Union and Americans Defence Of A. v. Brown.
In the course of labored article to defend
Gov. Brown from the merited rebuke which
his course has provoked, the Union and Aner-
lean says that the second "wrong" perpetra-
ted against that immaculate politician "is this
"unfOunded allegation of the True Wing that
abe had INDUCED in this abusive language
"against large and respectable portion of
"the people of Tennessee'-a deliberate state
"ment made without one shadow of founda
"tion in truth to support it,"
The Union calls statement endorsed fully
and unquahfedly by the certificates of eight as
respectable gentlemen as these are in Wilson
county, an uniOunded allegation "-"a de
lberate statement, made without one shadow
of foundation in truth to support it," This
can amount 10 nothing less than reflection
upon the characters of these gentlemen. We
will give their names and their certificate
Here il is
We, the Undersigned, were present at the Court
House in Lebanon, on the 2lst of July, when Elk
Gov. Blown addressed a meeting of old line Wings
and Democrats, and do hereby certify that the
statements, of the Herald Of the 26th ut in refer
ence to what Gov. Brown said, true to the best
of our rocoections: -

Novel Census Returns.

The man who takes the census in Ad
ans county, ILL.,, is publishing his returns
in the Quincy Herald. In addition tc
the usual information he gathers and pub
fishes some unsual facts. In his returns
of Columbus township appears the follow
ing Mrs. Maoman Thomas is the old
est lady in the township; she is eighty
seven years old. The old men are scarce
in that township but three men over sew
enty ears old. There are fifteen live wild
ows in the township, and some seven
California widows. l would like to see
the township that could turn out bet
ter looking set of widows than Colum-
bus. I should think Columbus is the
place for widowers to get their money
back. There are some girls there too
Miss Maria Wilkes weighs $50 pounds
and Miss Raugh weighs 225 pounds
There are three old ladies that weigh
$50 pounds each.

Crushing out RepublicanisnI.- The fol-
lowing extract contained in the orders of
the Pope of Rome to Archbishop Hughes
of New York, who has just returned from
pilgrimage to the Holy Father, whittier
he went to report the progress of Catho-
licism in America. The command is
"CRUsH OUT REPUBLICANIsM." Read
it, Americans! The Pope says:
"If our church is to live it must be in
America. Governments and States are
totteriDg here. Every thing is uncertain.
Another year and a revolution may have
swept away. My good Archbishop, I
look to you for the future. SPREAD Ro-
MANIsM IN AMERICA, CRUSH OUT REPUB-
LIcAIsM The church may before o
month fee to your shores"
Yes, "Lord john" crush out Rcpublf-
canism and if you should find any dficul-
ty in obeying the injunction of the "tbe
most holy father" apply to any Of the old
school politicions, and they will help you
out for few Catholic votes. And where
is the man who will shut his eyes to dis
evidence to the Pope's designs in this
country, and say there is no danger! Let
him be scorned and detested by every
lover of our free institutions, and go forth
branded as either knave or fool.

A Baby Elephant.

One of the female elephants belonging to
BARNUM's travelling Menagerie has re-
Gently given birth to an infant, thus dis
proving the assertions of Button and Gold
smith that these animals never gestate
while in the state of captivity. The New
York Sunday Times says the one in ques-
ton is perfectly formed, and differs from
its parent only in size, but that difference
is so amazing thas it becomes ludicrous,
and when one sees the "baby" walking tc
and fro u'aeler its mother, the impulse can.
not be restrained to laugh at the oddity
of the comparison. The bulky mothers
care of her "baby" is described as ex-
tremely human-like and affeetionate. L
any apple, for instance, is given to the lat
ter, the mother takes it in her trunk, ex
amines it closely, and then, as if satisfied
ofits harmlessness, returns it to her infant
to eat

Scenes in Norfolk.

The scenes at Norfolk, the pestilence
beleaguered city are appalling. A CO.
temporary has the following in its CORES
pondence:
"The hearses not being sufficient to car
ry out the cofins for interment, recourse
is had to cars and wagons, and in several
instances We have seen the dismal shells
of mortality protruding far out from the
front of the cart, while the driver sitting
beside it with perfect noncbalaaace crack
ing his whip, and putting away at an a.
abominate cheroot! "How use doth breed
habit in man."
The negroes hold divine service in
their different churches every day, and
incsesant praying and singing may be
heard from morning till night.
The whole week seems one continued
Sunday, and ones brain is crazed by the
upsetting of the regular routine of form
er every day life. We seem to be in a
different world, with nothing to do but to
walk about with ones hands in ones
pockets, and see burials! burials!
A remarkable circumstance connected
with the epidemic is, that not bird is to
be seen within the city, nor since the fe-
yer became general. Whether this is ow-
ing to the density of the atmosphere that
keeps them away, or from what other
cause we are not able to say, not being
philosophers or ornithologists enough to
solve the phenomenon.
The cows, in despite of the city ordi-
nance, wander about the city seemingly
in search of lost mates, making the welk-
in echo with their melancholy lowing ;
while gangs of half famished dogs take
possession of the streets after nightfall,
and render "night hideous" by their in
cessant yelping and bowling. Truly the
very acme of distress has fallen upon i'll
fated Norfolk
One of the horrible incidents that some
times characterizes visitations such as
that which has fallen upon this city was
revealed this morning. A corpse that
had lain unburied for eight days was dis
covered surrounded by the sick and dy-
ing. 1t may seem very strange that such
an event could happen, but it is not an
