FAYETTEVILLE. TENN:
Thursday Morning, October IL, 1858
The Truth Briefly Stated.

John w. Forney, the editor of a
new paper in Philadelphia, is writing
and making speeches against Presi-
ident Buchanan. And why? Be-
cluse as the South Side Democrat
truly observes: "He long and pite-
ously howled for Office beneath the
walls of the Executive mansion, and
only left when the last bone of Off
cial patronage had been bestowed
upon some one more honorable and
deserving.
Of Forney's course, The more re-
spectacle of the opposition press
speak in terms of unqualified con-
demnation. The Savannah Republi-
can, a bitter know nothing sheet, con-
tains the following:
FoRNEY AND THE President. The
Philadelphia Press failed to reach
us yesterday, but we copy a despatch
containing a synopsis of It's prom
ised revelations of the confdentia
intercourse between, the editor and
Mr. Buchanan. Ge these disclosures
what they may, and however true,
our condemnation Of the President is
completely merged in our contempt
for the infamous betrayer and scoun-
drel who would thus violate ahe
sanctity Of friendly confidence, and
expose to the world what wasintended
for his own ear alone. Forney rich
ly deserves the punishment which
the President desired TO see inflicted
upon the editor Of the Herald. No
man could reside In a southern COM
munity twenty-four hours after the
commission Of such acts Of baseness,
and if there is any sense Of gentle
manly decency and honesty left at
the north, Forney will yet get his
deserts.

CRINoLINE CRUsaDE.-The resolu-
tons Of the Miami Conference of
The Church Of the United Brethren
declaring The wearing of crinoline
incompatible with a true christian
profession, seems to be rigidly en-
forced by the authorities Of that
denomination. At camp meeting
of the q. B. Church recently held
near West Baltimore, Montgomery
county, o., Bishop Russell forbade any
one with hoops on to partake of the
sacrament, affirming that they would
not be welcome at the table of the
Lord. The warning was needed, the
rings, breastpins, artificials and hoops
came of-some Of the latter being
used to kindle fires.

The Discussion.

A contest of words and argu-
ments between Parson Brownlow and
Parson Pryne ole New York, has
elicted some curious facts, and among
them the following:
"The New England States had
never been particularly engaged in
slave-trade. No, stree. Their viz
tuous and puritanical efforts we're
directed to slave stealing. They
opened slave Depot in the virtuous
and liberty-loying city Of Boston,
near where the Franklin House now
stands. But they found that slave
labor didn't pay in the sterile soil Of
Yankee land, and they sold their
slaves TO the South The first ne
gro stealers were New England peo-
ple. Hartford, Providence, Bristol,
and other towns, whose extreme blue
laws fined man for kissing his wife
on Sunday. received large numbers
of slaves direct from the coast Of AZ
RIGA; while in Boston some two thou
sand were received on consignment,
directly stolen from the coast Of AZ
RIGA.
"Among the prominent Abolition
preachers was Rev. DR.. DIN. DR..
DIN came to Georgia from the North
in the character of a school teacher.
He came, and was. kindly received
by Bishop Andrews. He prospered,
and ultimately married an estlmable
Georgia lady who owned a goodly
number Of slaves. What does our

The Introduction Of Cotton into
The Mississippi Valley.

The Bton Rouge Advocate has a
letter dated Chapel Hill, Tenn, Au-
gust 10, written, as We learn from the
Advocate, by gentleman who was
formerly of Louisiana, and at one
time filed a high Office in her gov,
ernment, irom which We extract the
annexed interesting passage:
The person is yet living who SAW
the first Sack Of cotton seed brought
into the Mississippi valley. II was
introduced by Daniel Clark, father Of
Mrs. Gen. Gaines, who was anative Of
Ireland, a Spanish subject. and acting
us Consul for the United States at the
port Of New Orleans. It was impor-
ted expressly for lIr. Bringier, a
wealthy PLANTER on the right bank Of
the river, aiew miles below Donaldson
vile Mr. Bringior had also the
first cotton gin imported. The cot
ton seed was distributed to such plan
ters, up and down the coast, as de-
sired to try the experiment, and in
the fll of the year when it was pick.
ed, Mir 3. sent bis son. Louis Brin-
gier, the present venerable Sury eyor
of Louisiana, with barge
and gang Of negroes to collect it for
the purpose of being ginned. The
cotton vas raised aud ginned upon
shares, and when begged was sent to
Daniel Clark for expectation. Mr..
Bringier told me he bad gone up as
iar as Baton Rouge and Pointe Cou-
pee, gathering cotton to be ginned at
his fathers placebel Donaldsonyille.
This was in the latter part of the last
pad the beginning of the present GEN.
Jury.

Brutal Treatment Of a Deserter.

A Texas correspondent Of the Lou
lsyille journal gives the following par
ticuiars Of the brutal treatment Of a
man, named Harrington, a deserter
from camp Colorado, who had been
re-captured. He was a native of
Louisville:
"Youug Harrington was enlisted
for the Second Cavalry. bat deserted,
and was brought back 20 Fort Smith
The citizen who brought him back
must have been more Of a fiend than
human. He travelled day and night
and until ten o'clock the next day
without giving him amoutbfnl to eat.
Capt. N. G. Evans, of this regi-
ment, was at the Fort at the time,
and Harrington was put in bis comra-
my, and that day he had to walk II
miles, hand cuffed and dragging a
ball and chain, before he got anything
to eat. The second days march from
Fort Smith, was over a road called
the 'sNarrows,' the toughest that wag-
ons ever Travelled, suppose. The
wagons, in going over it. would
bounce and side off from rocks four
feet at a time. On the morning OF
the second day TIE Captain ordered
Harrington to ba tied by the hands
close up 10 the rail-gate Of the wag-
on. At that time his wrist and flu
gers we're so swollen that he could
not bend them.
"The sentry who was pat over him
says that for more than one hnndrcd
times the bali which was attached tc
him by a chain and placed in The
,ieeG box. would, when the wagon came
oat Of a hole or slid Off rock, jerk
his feet from under him, and all hi.
weight would come on bis wrists, ant
his breast strike the feed box. The
sentry, who saw that The man was al
most dead, took the responsibility tC
let him get in the wagon out Of thc
sun and dust, and gave him water Il
drink. He began TO enliven and fee
sbaftpr when tha Sarra4nt of the
gnard came up and raised HI, ait
made the sentry tie the poor fellow
up again. lie did not go more thar
three miles, before the sergeant, see.
ing that the man was almost dead, or
fdered him to be cut down: but before
he REACHED the ground, he breathe,
his last.
"Harlington'S breast was beat al
most TO jslIy, and lis back, from
his chin down, was as black as coulC
be. He told them in the morning
! that if he had to walk that day, tie,
/ to the wagon, be would be dead maj
before night. He begged and prayed
them to shoot him, and put him on
Of bis misery"
If the above is correct, the name
of Capt. n, G. Evans should not on
iIy be stricken fIom the rolls of The
army, but he should be "tarred anC
feathersd,' and rode upon a rail, on
of every town he might dare show
his face in. Saeh a "Se7oy" scoun

A Hated Party.

| In a certain class Of newspapers
| of the day, we frequently meet with
the following expressions: Modern
democracy" Bogus democracy
''Sham democracy" johnson democ-
racy,' and in the papers opposed to
the party at the North: ''Pro.slavery
democracy" The design Of those
who append these qualifying terms
to the word, democracy, is to excite
prejudice against party that con-
tends for equal rights to all, special
privileges to none. They would
make the people believe that their
opposition is not to democracy as it
once was, but to democracy as it now
is; that they are opposed to the par
ty as it now exists, and not to what
its principles once were.
The people however will bear in
mind that these enemies of demec-
cratic principles never found any
sort of democracy yet that suited
them, and we reckon they never will.
The men who oppose Buchanan OPP
posed jackson, and had they lived
in the days Of Jefferson and Madi-
son, they would have opposed them.
Their talk about sham democracy is
itself a sham. They were not dem
ocrats when no such terms as mod
efn, sham, ant bogus, had been ap-
piled to it. 1l.e
