"RErURNED FROM THE WAR."-Under this
heading the Morning Call notices the return
of Senator Broderick to San Francisco, and
says:
lie started from this city some four weeks
since, amid the derisions of his political enc
mics They loudly secuted the idea of Brod
eriek making speech--he was incapable
both by nature and education to do any such
thing. In order to show their contempt for
his ability, they offered to pit pot t-house
orator against him. How their tune has
changed In less than four weeks he has
won the unieigned admiration of friends aud
the fercest hatred OF opponents. He has set
them all on their defense He has shown a
capacity for aggressive oratory such as but
few men possess. He has given proof that
he is possessed ofa clear and foreibe diction
a Spartan laconism, and an eXcoriating invec
tive. His language is unostentatious, but its
syntax is perfect; his ideas are homely, but
their directness is striking

What will they do now 2

The Administration organs have all been
loudly and vehemently declaring, for some
weeks past, that the doctrine of the Cass let
ters was right, and that the fact of a mans
being naturalized citizen of the United
States would not protect him against i'm
pressment into military service, were he to
return to his native country. 1t seems that
Mr. Buchanan after having the Administra-
ton organs all over the country commit
themselves fully TO the Cass doctrine, is about
to back down from the position which his
Secretary has assumed, as he backed down
from what he had authorized Gov. Walker to
do in Kansas Our meaning will be explain
ed by the subjoined brief dispatch from St
Louis
"Our Government has officially demanded
of Prussia the release of an American natur-
allied citizen compelled to perform military
service The President takes the ground that
naturalization sewers all allegiance or respon
sibility to the mother Government"
True the above needs explanation, and can.
not properly be judged of until we receive
fuller information. But, we venture to say,
that, without waiting for explanation, quail
fication or anything else, the Lecompton press
will now proclaim that Mr.. Buchanan is
right. "You bet-'our noble President is
right every timel" What becomes of Mr..
Cass, then, is the natural inquiry. The re-
ply is from every Lecompton bondsman in
the country, "never mind Cass,-Old Buck.
our man how" Well, but Mr.. Cass, as Sec
retary of State, would not have spoken with
out some concert with Mr.. Buchanan. "Y
we know, but thea the old man aint obliged
TO stick TO it, you see"
No matter how, but in some shape or otheI
these Administration sheets are going to sus-
tain the President. They thought they wer,
sustaining him, when they sustained Cass
but if they find that they have been mista-
ken they will take it all back, sponge owe
the board and begin anew. Their creed is t.
sustain the administration, ard they will sus
tain it or bust. We think they will bust

| SUNDAY SPORTS IN ACCOMPLISHMENTS
AMONG THE "FANCY."- Our fast sister at the mouth
of Wolf has added another feather to her cap, Of
which we lave this account in the Memphis Evening
Ledger of the 23d:
The admirers of the "manly art of ssf-defenss''
were considerably agitated yesterday by the an
nouncement that ring fight was to take place in
the afternoon between two muscle-men named Peter
Murray, of New Orleans, and Mat Hogan, Of New
York, on the fair grounds, about mile and half
from the city. About three hundred persons re-
paired to the scene anxious TO witness the 'smilI "
which, though conducted strictly on the principles
governing theP. R, was INDUCED in by the cons
batants solely to ascertain which was the better
man, no stakes having been laid
We did not witness this pugilstio encounter, but
learn from those present that 'they fought like
brave men long and well" if such quotation can
with any aptitude be applied to those brutalized
Gs to engage in such a disgraceful and unmsnly
exhibition Of the physical powers with which they
have been endowed. The fight lasted an hour aud
quarter, when the friends Of Murray threw up the
sponge In token of defeat. At the fourth round
Hogan disabled his wrist, but Notwithstanding
when slime" was called at the beginning of the
fifth, he was at his place. Had it not been for this
accident, his friends claim that the result would
have been much sooner determined
Is there not something in this revolving spectacle
to alarm the friends of Law, order and morality?
Have not our officers been derilect in their duty?
Surely If this matter were made public that a
crowd of three four hundred persons could bs
advertised Of the fact then those, whose duty it is
to preserve the peace and good order or the com
munity, could also have learned that fight was
somewhere the tspis, and at least made an effort
to suppress it. The ring fighting is a remnant of
barbaIism at best, but Sunday evening "mill -
in a civilized community, within the sound Of the
"churoh- going bell, is worse than heahenish and
would make B9otian, or participant in be Oym-
pic games OF Greece blush for his country.

Rum FROM CHINESE SUGAR CANE-The Muir
freesbOrO' NeWs of the 25th says: 1--WE examined,
last week, spirit distilled by Mr.. John Thompson,
from the Chinese. Sugar Cane. 1t appeared TO be
pure spirit, of great strength and not unpleasant
to the taste. The process of making was, to press
the juice from the cane, place it in tubs with lit
tie yeast and distill it when fermented sufficiently
Mr.. Thompson, with very imperfect machinery,
made fifty gallons of rum from the cane that grew
on one acre of ground. This too, was his first at
tempt at making spirit from the juice Of this
cane"

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The Memphis AUalGneEs
of the 2Sd says: "The weather for the past week
has been very warm, with violent storms Of wind
and rain. As far as we can learn, the corn and
cotton crops are in excellent condition and grow
ing finely. The cotton is somewhat backward, on
account of the late spring. but stands are excellent
which, with the present fine growing season will
add materially to the prospects of large crop at
harvest. From the wheat crop we hear complaints
of blight and rust and the opinion is that this crop
is bound to be rather short"

NASHVILLE, May 25, 1859.
Messrs. EDITOEs:~ I see In the UNION AND AEERI-
CAN Of this date meager report Of she speaking
atthe Market House on Monday night, on the sub
ect of the proposed tax for the benefit Of the Nash
vile and Northwestern Railroad Company. The most
important remarks made IN opposition to an in
crease, Of the already oppressive taxes have been
omitted; perhaps they were not heard. specially
aud particularly requested that if any one intended
to report the speaking to any Of the papers for pub
location, they would be certain to report the fact,
that in several instances some Of our citizens
driven Of Of their property by the excessive taxes,
thst the Corporation OF Nashville had given, and
perhaps would give this year twelve per cent for
money, not to pay debts, but the interest debts
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. Stevenson and Mr..
Megs were hesseching the people to tax themselves
still more; bring down the screws little tighter,
until they raised hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
more in three years, than the Corporation is now
under Obligations to raise; and that, too, fer the
purpose Of taking stock in Corporation, Of the
directors Of which has offered to sell his stock for
FIVE cents in the dollar. These remarks might have
had tendency to expose the rOttenness Of the

Respectfully, I. D. MOsELEY.
n. B. was told yesterday by one of high author
ity that five cents to the dollar in this Railroad
concern is too much, that the stock was net worth

COL NETHERLANDS HAWKINS COUNTY Con-
TRACTOR Section 9, Of the Instructions " of the
Post Office Department, accompanying all proposals
for carrying the mails, is as follows:
80 Payments will be made by collections from,
or drafts on, postmasiers or otherwise, after the
expiration of each quarter-ssy in February, May,
August, and November"
This section is part of all contracts for carrying
the mails. Payment for the quarter ending March
81 1859, was due during the following quarter, by
the terms of the advertisement under which the
tract was made, and as We have stated before spas
not due in April The letter which the Banner
prints, as we have before shown, was printed cir
cusr sent to all contractors, as we'll to those to
whom money would be due for service already per
formed as to those TO whom it was then due
Having, in preceding paragraph, taken for
granted an acquaintance by the Banner with these
well-knOwn facts, did not go into this explsns-
ton. We now make ii for the benefit Of that paper
The letter from the Department was as follows:
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT, FINANCE OFFICE,
April 10, 1859.
The annexed statement will afford a satisfactory
expanstiO why you cannot now be paid, according
to contract, for mail services, THE QUARTER
ENDIsG 3lsr MARCH, 1859.
Should yeu wish to assign your pay, please inform
me, and you will be furnished with the proper evil
dence Of the amount due, with form Of assign
ment,) 80 as it is certified 10 the Postmaster
General by the Auditor, according to law.
Very respectfully, your Ob't servant,
A. n ZEVELY,
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
The Banner asserts, the authority of this letter.
that "the money was due" at the time it was writ
ten
On the contrary, We assert again, that, by the
terms of the advertisement and the contract, the
money vas not due st the date of the circular and
that its object was to givs the contractor form Of
assignment, should be wish to use it, by which,
when the amount due should be asoertained and GER
titled, he could raise the money on it.
The reader will perceive that this is a very diff
ferent matter from Mr.. NETHERLAHD's representa-
ton of it. That gentlemaa said:
A mail contractor of his town (he ssys) chad
been sued for eight doIlsrs the stay had expired;
he bethought him of forty dollars due him from the
Post Office Department He sent t. Washington for
the money lie received lettr from the Third
Assistant Post Master General telling him that the
Department had no money and could not pay, but,
is be wished to transfer his claim, the Department
would send him the proper form"
The reader will see that the letter from the P o.
Department fails TO sustain Mr. NETHERLAED's state
meut The money was not due. The money was
not sent for,
