The Opposition In Motion.

1t will be seen from the proceedings Of
meetings held in Davidson and Stewart coun-
ties. published in another place in to-day :
paper, that the Opposition to modern demo-
crazy in this State are beginning to stir in
good earnest. We learn. verbally that the
meeting ut Nashville was Il very spirited and
encouraging one.
Among their proceedings ii will be seen
that the conservative Opposition in Davidson
county pay a very high tribute to Mr.. b IL,
and express their preference OF him for the
Presidency in 1860 Exalted as is the testi-
mOnial rendered our distinguished Senator by
his neighbOrs, il will find hearty and cordial
Endorsement by the conservative and candid
people of Tennessee. That there should be
perfect unanimity Of opinion between him
and them as to every measure of policy upon
which he has been called on to act. is not to
be eXpectrd but in the purity of his patriot
ism. the enlightened foresight of his states
manship. and the incOrruptible integrity of
his purposes, his friends and supporters may
challenge the malice of his traducers. conf
dent that neither as regards one or the other
will the record OF his life sustain the shade
of cavil.
We note these movements of the Opposi-
tiOn in this State. with peculiar pleasure,
and trust that they will be followed in every
county, from Carter to Shelby. Let there be
full attendance Of rcsl representatives. Of
the People, at the March Convention. With
a hearty and cordial union of the opposers of
the party in power, brilliant triumph of the
Opposition in Tennessee at the next August
Elections, is hardly problematical.-Men.P

Little Children.

Whoever takes a little child into his love,
NAV have very roomy heart. but that child
will fill it all. The children that are in the
world keep us from growing old and cold;
they cling to our garments with their little
hands. and impede our progress to pctrifac
ton: they win us back with their pleading
eyes from cruel care they never cucumber
us at all. A poor old couple, with no one to
love them, is a most pittul picture; but a
hovel with small face to fill broken pane,
here and there. as the stranger goes by, is
robbed of its desOlations.
We have heard somewhere a sneering state
ment that poverty is prolific; for our part we
are glad of it. The poor Irish woman who
bad pig and a COW and hut full of child
rem, and not penny TO her name, took the
right view Of the matter. when she replied to
our wondering at her attachment for the little
Norahs and Patrcks: "Why, bless your honor,
Eve nothing else to love"
Indeed, we are northumberland to think
that we all of us do about as much good in
the world before we are seven years old as
we ever do, and certainly a great deal less
evil.
A little child is profitable possession. and
when we hear of anybody giving away"
one, we marvel how. as he cannot get along
with it, he can ever hope to prosper asshont
il. II Is very much like bird that should
dispense with wing. iarcving that it costs
more to carry it than it il worth.
Children are the most powerful allies hu-
mainly can enlist; We call them ''hoPea''
sometimes, with a laugh, hut we may give
them bett name, ami be too happy about
it to laugh; we may call them hope makers
for such indeed they are. We are so con
sIructed that we do not love those most who
help rs, bnt those whomwe help. An many
a prodigal who would have been in the corn
field this day, were il not so, has been well
coined home with feast of tat veal.
A house full ofchildren compOses as power
full "a group Of motives as ever moved heart
or hand, aud the secret of many gallant
truggle and triumph in the worlds battle
may be found throaed in its mothers lap al
home. or done up in little bundle of white
flannel. A nations hope before now has
been tonnd in a basket of bulrushes. Get
ready to be afraid of the man whom children
are afraid of. and he sure that he who hates
them is not himself worth having.
Blessings upon the little children, for OF
such as they are is the kingdom OF Heaven.

foreign letter-wIiter during a recent visit
to Tripolis cav lady regarded as the most
beautiful of her sex in all Syria, whom be
thus described:
: Through The kindness of our Vice-Consnl
and his excellent lady, We were favored with
an Intro duction to this beauty, who. with our
excellent missionaries and their ladies'
accepted an invitation to visit the big guns
of the American man-of-war. She seemed to
be about eigstee years of age, ladies ages
are always uncertain however) with round.
ripe cheek of delicate carnation, at FIRST
shaded by veil, whose snowy wbHeness
blushed back the carnation OF her cheek.
whose color in this part of the world is natu-
raj; placid, heavenly coantenance, brunette
complexion; eyes very black and as mild as
those of the gazelle. shaded with thick silken
lasbes, and at times of sparkling brightness;
her head covered with gold and jewels, a neck
ofsmo0fh and gracefnlcurve her stature rather
lowt hough her form was sill ht and symmetric-
al her arms. which were gracefully ornamented
with golden armiets, were those of Aurora,
and her smile, when she cast her Parthian
arrows, was more bewi;ching than that of
Hebe; and hand on whose tapering fingers
glittcr.d the jeweled tokens of love and
frlendshlp-the tOa ensemble was peculiarly
striking and native. She was crowned with
a wreath of orange flowers, which contrasted
beautifully with the jet black tresses of her
hair, floating behind in grossy braids Her
dress was of beautiful white satin, low neck.
whose rdrapery hints' you might admire
freely. tipped as they were, with gold fringe,
with short sleeves. Encrcliug and sustain
ing her round bnst,was appended a stomacher
of scarlet richly embroidered. Her dress,
with its deep and well arranged folds,
descended only littls below the knee, and
betrayed small. round ANGLE, and an instep
that seemed independent of her full
trowsers) bounding from her slight yellow
morocco shoe. Her necklace was of pearls;
her ear ornaments of cameo, delicately
wrought and set in gold. On the entry of
Mrs. j., the accomplished lady of one of the
missionaries of the place. she met her as a
sister, and kissed her. o, that had been a
missionary lady II should taste the sweet
ness of that kiss forever.

Maj. Hen. Mccullough aud the over
land Nail.

We had the pleasure of visit yesterday
from Maj Ben. Mccullough, of Texas, who
en- route for Washington City, from Sonora.
and who came through Arizona on the over
land mail coaches. Maj. Nee. states shat the
branch of the overland mail from this city to
Fort Smith is most shamriully managed. so
as to detain passengers at least twenty four
hours behind the mail. which is pressed for
ward on horseback, leaving the passengers
behind. There can be no doubt, from the
statement OF Maj McC., that the branch from
here to Fort Smith is a complete sham aud
imposition upon the people Of this section,
and that the iavoritism of Buttertieid x CO.
has been carried just far enough. We now
call upon the Postmaster-General to hold
Butteriield i Co. to \ strict compliance with
their contract or enforce upon them the
penalties which the law and contract en-
power him to do. We have relied upon their
promises long enough, and IL would be a
criminal connivance in this wrong longer to
indulge their imposition upon this section
