connection must, therefore. do it no harm,
but great deal of good. Let us see how
it will work. The East-Tennessee ana
Virginia Road is one hundred and nineteen
miles nearer to Washington City. from At
lanta, than the Wilmington and Manchester
Road. That road is in speedy and for
ward state TO completion. The Danviiie

cat it, irretrievabiy gone. 1t is idle to talk
about patriotism, State pride, and all that
sort of thing, when necessity stares US in the
face. How is it proposed to restore to the
State the lost travel, and thereby replenish
the treasury of the State1 It is said that

than to see their neighbor, who was origin
ally entitled to it, but who was unjustly

We propose to build the Danville Road
by the time the East-Tennessee Road is

FATHER MATHEW.

Father Mathew, the Apostle Of Temper
ance, died at Cork on the 9th of December.
Theoblad Mathew was born at Thomas
town, Ireland, October 10, 1890. He was
left an orphan at an early age, adopted by
an aunt. and educated in Kilkinny Acade-
my and at Maynooth. He was ordained to
the priesthood at Dublin. Adopting the
principle of total abstinence, he commenc-
ed series of meetings, and soon awaken
ed the enthusiasm Of the Irish nature to his
assistance.
He travelled from town to town through
the island. His progress was one trium-
phal march. He administered the pledge
to thousands at time at Nenagh to twen-
ty thousand in one day ; at Galway a hun
dred thousand per day between Galway
sand. From Ireland he went to England,
where the people were infected with a cor
responding enthusiasm. Thence he came
| to the United States. from which he return
ed in the autumn of 1851. His labors and
| triumphs here will long be remembered
Through all this Herculean labor he was
constantly in state of personal poverty.
When he began his work his brother was
the proprietor of a large distillery. He
supported Theobald until his wonderful
success had ruined the distillery, and re-
duced the owner to bankruptcy. To meet
the wants of the public benefactor the Brit
ish government settled an annuity of ssO0
upon him, which sum was just sufficient to
pay the premium upon an insurance policy
held by his creditors as security for their
claims. Since his return to Ireland, the
weight of years and the exertions of long
labor have compelled his partial withdraw
al from public life.

ROGUES FALLING OUT.

an unholy war has broken out among the
Holy Allies of the New York Free Soil
press. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the
'.Independent,' his quondam organ. are be-
rating each otherin a most unsanctihed man
ner. 1t seems that Beecher, whilst not &C
lively employed in enlisting recruits and
buying rifles for Kansas. has composed and
published a most devout and peaceable
hymn book, which he pulled prodigiously
with his own pious hands, in the columns
of the 'Independent." Recently, another
musical clergyman, of New England, a
pendent" also produced hymn book, which
was highly commended in one of the reli-
gious journals of the day. The amiable
Beecher at once fell afoul of this rival pro-
duction, criticised it in the most savage
manner, tomahawked and scalped the au-
thor after the most approved style of Beech
er warfare, and wound up by declaring that
his competitor had absolutely Pufed has oacn
hmm book! Upon this, the ''Independent''
at once revealed the agency of Beecher
in praising his own holy melodies. The
consequence has been general, and most
unmusical and unclerical scuffle all round,
in which pacific hymns have given place to
the most combative prose. and the sweet
singing to sounds resembling rather the
sacred psalmody of a bagfull of Infatuated
grimalkins than the billing and cooling OF
black republican choristers.-- Richmond

INSANITY DODGE.

We once heard one of the most exper1nc-
ed and successful legal gentleman IN TINS
oounty-and, by the way. at present. an
ex-senator, and keen politician-glve MS
opinion of mankind at large. He SAID that
thirty years of daily professional practice
had brought him in contact with all classes
of minds, and had given him an opportunity
to carefully examine and study the woriu'
mentally, just as it existed and ne nao ar
rived at the conclusion, very much 10 ms
regret, as he had clients by the Thousand
whom he desired to entertain respect 1or'
that nine-tenths of the human race were
made I'D of knaves and fools, though out
wardly appearing to profess good sense ana
a regard for correct principles. Ut course
this opinion was whispered only. and no
man save keen, sharp-nosed lawyer, ana
possessed of the characteristic impudence
and recklessness of one of the most success
full of the tribe, would have even whispered
such an idea.
The insanity dodge" which the counsel
for Huntington openly announced to the
community, convinces US that the legal gen
tleman above alluded to, is not the only one
who estimates mankind thus. The world
at large must be composed of knaves and
fools to listen for a moment to such plea.
1t is an insult to the commonest kind OF
common sense, and it strikes US that jury
of twelve men who would be obliged to sit
an hour. and allow limb of the law to cool
" persuade them to so stultify themselves
as to be Influenced by such plea, deserve
incarceration for life in an insane asylum.
We understand the character of this plea.
1t is not to be supposed that the counsel
will say it is insanity of the madhouse char
acter, but that which has method in it,
sbrewdness in it; such as all departures
from moral rectitude for specific object,
well planned. and successfully carried out,
always demonstrate in short, that this in
sanity is a talent for rascality, well devel-
oped, and, like all real talent, accomplishes
its purpose. If this kind of nonsense goes
down with any jury. we shall at once sub
scribe to the doctrine that all mankind are
what the counsel for Huntington set them
down to be, either fools or knaves.-Day

-D;norces In Sslena, Massachusetts.
The following divorces have been grant
ID at the late session of the Supreme Court
n Salem: VIM. Small from Irene NJ. Small

There is not city in New England
which makes greater pretentions to moral
tonen than this same city of Salem. A
theatre was started there some twenty-five
years ago, but public opinion frowned it
down. Circuses cannot easily get licenses
.bare. Amusements. of almost any char
scter, are looked upon as very questiona-
BILE indulgences. Churches are outwardly
supported, and an apparent interest taken
in the labors of the clergy, yet lawless
Young men congregate the street corners
and utter fearful oaths and obscene Ian

session of her courts rolls up heap OF in
fanny like the above. Five cases OF adulte-
ry from the class of society supposed to be
as free, at least, from immortality as any
other-the middle class. Abolitionism
lourishes in this city of Salem, to great
extent; this place and Boston may be said
to be the hot bed of it. If such develop
ments as the above and the late school girl
affair at Boston. appear on the surface for
the world to gaze upon, how much corrup-
ton must these Abolition holes have hidden
which the world can't see! New England
is fast exposing her real character one way
and another. Is it wonder that the South
questions the sincerity of the Aboiitionists
of New England, and brands them hypo-
critics, in the face of such startling pictures
of degraded society, as those above alluded
to, present? 1t will not be long ere this
progressive people," whose morals the
world have heard so much Of, will stand in
their hideous deformity, a spectacle OF

nickel and copper, and the size is little

considerably thicker. One side is en-
