John RelI and his Pursuers.

The whitening speech delivered by Col. BELL,
in this city on Saturday and Tuesday nights,
has lad the effect to create considerable com
motion among those who have made it their
business to seek his overthrow. In its issue
of yesterday, the Union and american is again
on his track, displaying as much or more hos
tility towards that gentleman than usual 1t
Is not matter of any establishment to US, that
this should be the case. II is universally con-
ceded by all parties with whom we have con-
versed in reference to that speech, that it was
the most powerful and severe exposure of the
sham Democracy, that has been made in Ten
nessee in many years, if ever. He stood proud
ly and majestically, in the midst of gathered
multitude Of his fellow citizens; and, as was
said of one of his now deceased compeers,
referring sarcasms, scattering sophisns, and
hnging defiance into the faces of the hunters,
who fooked and swarmed around the lion
they had aroused" They must indeed feel
the stings of the terrible cbastisement, and it
is no great wonder that they should squirm
and wrthe. While it may afford some small
mitigation of their miseriee; it cannot affect
the standing and character ot Col. BELL.

IS A Bill for the Beneht of Mechanics. y
The Union and american has, on several
occasions, made Mr.. Hatton's vote in the last
Legislature upon bill for the benefit of me-
chanies, matter of grave complaint. Taking
the exposition of the subject as made by that
journal, we have regarded it as so excessively
peurile as to need 10 comment from any quar-
ter to consign it to contempt. There is not
an intelligent mechanic in the State, whose
mind is unbiased by partyPrejudice, who can
not and does not understand the object of the
Union and american in introducing this sub
iect into the canvass. They must have noted,
too, the significant fact that, whilst protesting to
give the action of the House on the bill, it has
studicusly avoided to give the yeas and nays
by which it was killed. Our purpose in allu-
ding to this sui ject is to show In whose com
pany Mr.. Hatton voted, &c.
The reader will find by reference to the
journal of the House, session 1866, page 295,
that this bin was taken up on the 9th of No
vember, 1855, and amended. Subsequently
Mr.. Upton moved to amend the title so that
it would read-"BjU to PreUent poor men from
cunning land and creating lawyers tees' From
this proposition we learn in what light the bill
was regarded. 1t was believed by some that
it would operate injuriously upon the inter-
ests OF "poor men," and produce harvest of
fees for lawyers, by others, that the law was
unnecessary. Welearn, upon reference to tie
files of the Nashville Union and american, that
the member from Maury, Mr.. Huntington, a
lawyer, made a speech in favor Of the bill.
This speech appears to have been 0ery e1Sc-
tiUe one, for at the close of the debate, Mr..
Cavitt, a democrat, moved to strike out the
enactng clause Of the bill, and thus kill it, and
the motion carried-yeas 80; nays 10. Ofthe
90 yeas, thirty0ere democrats, Here are their

Is the Moon Inhabited ? Recent DiscOv.
cry by The Astronomer HanseI.

cry by the Astronomer EEansei.
1t has long been known that the moon revolVes
on its axis in the same time in which it revolves
round the earth and that it coust quently always
presents nearly the same side towards the earth g,
while the other side is never seen from our globe.
No bodies OF water nor clouds can be seen on the
moon by the aid of the most powerful telescope,
nor is the apparent direction Of stars close to its
edge changed by reiractiOn, as would be the case
if an atmosphere enveIoped the Moon. Hence it
has been inferred by Wnew,ll, the reputed author
of a late work entitled 'Oi Plurality of Worlds, :"
that the moon has no atmosphere water, and
consequently, no inhabitants.
This inference is shown to be inconclusive by a
recent discovery of the astronomer Hansel, whose
study OF the moons motion, continued for many
years, has established the TACT that the of
gravity of the moon, instead Of being like that of
earth, the Of figure is beyond that centre,
and farther from the side to the earth than it
is from the other side by seventy-iour nil S. The
nearer side of the moon, therefore, is vast, expan-
ded prOtuberauce or mountain, seventy-iOur mil e.
high and any fluid, whether air or water, would
flow dOwnwards from the nearer to the farther side
OF the moon, where, for aught we know, Intelligent
living beings may exist. The nearer side Of the
moon cannot be inhabited, at least by beings to
whose existence air aud water essential, as Is
the with all terrestrial animals.
The late celebrated mathematician, Gauss, pro-
posed a means Of settling the question, whether
the moon is inhabited that q huge monument
should be erected the steppes OF Siberia, as sig
nal to the inhabitants Of the moon, in the hope that
they might be induced TO erect similar signal to
apprise of their existence. The discovery OF
Hansel shows that such experiment could be at
tended with success, nasmuch as the inhabi-
tants OF tue moon, if there are any, being on the
farther side, could never see monument on the
earth.
1t may not be uninteresting to add that it has
been discovered, within few years, by means Of
long continued hourly observations with the ba-
rometer, that the moon exerts appreciate iuhu
ence on the pressure of the atmosphere; and also
by means OF long-cOntinued magnetic observations,
magnetic needle.

OId bedford Awake.

We suhjoin an extract from letter of re-
liable friend who writes US from Shebyville,
dated 22l inst. Our friends H. that county
are fully awake, and we heartily commend
their example to all the other counties of the
State:
"Those who will vote for BOB HATToN will vote
for him because they love the man, his admirable
history his known abilities and his glorious prnci
pies. In the good province of supporting such a
man and such a cause, old Bedford will not be in
the background. The Americans aud Wings of
this county understand the tactics of the opposi-
lion, and are determined to meet them at every
point.
We had discussion on last Saturday between
the candidates for Floater, which passed of with
much satisfaction to the friends of Col Ivie. We
saw persons here from different sections of Bed
ford, aud we have the most encouraging news, not
only as to the race for Governor but also to the
certain success Of both Cooper and Ivie Old Bed
ford will come up right and it is the general opn-
ion that we shall give all three of our candidates,
Hatton, Cooper aud Ivie, handsome increase on
Fillmore's majority"
