4 Lieutenant killed BIZ one of His Men.

About o'clock Saturday night last Lieutenant
Joseph G. Davidson, of the BOOns Hill Minute Men,
First Tennessee Regiment was shot and almost I'M
mediatsly killed on the Fair Grounds, near this
CITY, by member of his company named John Z.
Tayior. From what we learn. Taylor had Just
reached the encampment in an intoxicated conol'
ton, and was making great deal of noise, when
Iieut Davidson went to his hunk and told him to
keen quiet or he would have him placed under
guard, TAYLOR then made use of some defiant lam
9uape and threatened to shoot the Lieutenant when
the latter started towards Taylor and when he had
arrived within few feet of him, Taylor levelled
sinelebarreled pistol at him and fired, the ball from
which took effect IN the left breast, and passing
through the heart, caused death in a few seconds.
The affair created great deal of excitement IN the
cann and it was with the utmost difficulty that the
yolnteers could be restrained from at once taklng
the life of TAYLOR. He, however, was saved from
Immediate slaughter but has, this suffered the
death nenalty-as the Colonel of the Regiment VINO
left with his command Gunday morning, declared
that he should not be permitted to live twenty
four hours Lieutenant Davidson was very
worthy Young man, about twenty-five years
Of RAGE. and his untimely death IS much de
nlored by a large number of friends which he had
made since his arrival in Virginia, as well as host
of friends which he left in his native State-LyHch

Monsieur DEBow, the reviewer, is one Of
the chief authorities of the Secessionists IN
craftsmanship and political economy. He
scouts the vulgar idea of democracy, as any
man properly conscious of the dignity Of an
aristocratic prefix to his name might be ex-
pected to do. He sees far deeper into the
philosophy of Secession, too, than those
superficial thinkers who attribute the whole
difficulty to the negro. He says:
e 1t is gross mistake to suppose that AT
clifton alone is the cause of dissension be-
tween North and South. The Cavaliers,
Jacobites, and Huguenots, who settled the
South naturally hate, contemn and despise
the Puritans who settled the North. The
former are master races--the latter slave
race, defendants of the Saxon serfs. The
former are Mediterranean races, descen dants
of the Romans; for Cavaliers and Jacobites
are of Norman descent, and the NOrmans
were of Roman descent and so were the
| Huguenots. The Saxons'and Angles, the
ancestors of the Yankees, came from the
cold and marshy regions Of the North, where
man is little more than a cold-blooded, am
phibious biped.'
"Cold bIooded, amphibous biped' is good.
Our Cottonian sage is great naturalist as
well as political philosopher. The repre-

he would describe, by contrast, as hot
blooded, pachydermatous quadruped" per
haps with auricular elongations, if he looks
in mirror for his type.
But we come now to the grand political
distinction between these two hostile and
very unequal races-a distinction which,
| according to Monsieur DeBow, underlies
the whole secession movement. AristOcra-
cy, and an irrepressible longing for a more
perfect oligarchic government, are at the
bottom of it all. He proceeds
awe are the most aristocratic people In the
world. Pride of caste, and color, and priv
ilege makes every white man an aristocrat
in feeling. Aristocracy is the only safe
guard of liberty, the only power watchful
and strong enough to exclude monarchical
despotism. At the North, the progress and
tendency of opinion is to pure democracy,
less government, anarchy and agrarianism
Their hatred of the South will accelerate
this noxious current of opinion, and anarchy
will soon wind up in military despotism.-
There will be as many little military des-
! pots as there are now States for no usurpel
will WELD means sufficient to conquer OF
fuse into one several States. 1t will be 6
| great improvement in Northern affairs, anC
| the sooner it comes about the better"
The profundlty of the above is, of course
! apparent to every reader. We hope oul
great Southern philosopher will favor u!
| with some more of his sagacious and origl-
nal observations.

WazIF PhosrHgf.-fhe farmers Of I'LL.
nois have every reason to be satisfied with
the appearance of the wheat crop at this
time. We have reliable information from
more than twenty counties of Southern IL
linois, giving assurances that during the
past ten years, the wheat fields in March
have never appeared SO promising as now.
The growth is admirably we'll set, covers
the ground well, is healthy and strong, en-
couraging large expectations of full gran
aries at the close of the season.
The amount sown last fall was unusually
large, and 1851 bids fair to be as distin-
guished in Illinois for the afluent wheat
harvest as was 1860 for the plethoric corn
crop in Central and Northern Illinois.-St

THE ARCTIC PANoRAMA.-The New Alba
ny Ledger, in speaking of this work of art,
says it I" is full of merit and artistic excel
lence The shipping round New York, the
beautiful and serene moonlight views, and
the storm at sea, are portrayed with aston
ishing truthfulness, saying nothing of the
grandeur of the Arctic regions. Mr.. Thomas
Hickey, one of the famous explorers, will be
present at each exhibition in full Arctic cos
tune" The exhibition combines all the
excellencies of Panorama, Panoptican and
Diorama, and will afford an exhibition su-
perior, we doubt not, to anything of the
kind ever displayed in our city. Mr.. Wood,
the agent, informs US that other engage
ments will prevent his remaining in our
city longer than three nights. So our peo-
pie can make their arrangements accord
ingly, for a great majority of them will de-
sire to see it.

Eay~The Now York Tribune, though gen
EVAHSVglLE. INoa


E-gy-The New York Tribune, though gen
orally lard to head, we fear has got tangled
in regard to its Charleston Correspondent.
A western paper having mentioned the fact
that the Tribunes correspondent gave de-
tailed account of President Daviss visit to
Charleston when that worthy hadn't been
there at all, the Tribune replied that this
was not so; that it had published no such
account whatever, either detailed or gen
eral, long or short, suppOsitious or positive,
of any arr val of Mr.. jeff. Davis at Charles
ton" The Cincinnati Gazette rather up
sets this disclaimer by publishing the fol-
lowing extract from the New York Tribune
of Jan. 23d, as found in the letter of its
Charleston correspondent:
jefferson Davis, who arrived here this
morning, came to enforce this idea and q
modified policy He was Immediately
called upon by Gov. Pickens, several of his
counselors, and a number of the more dis
tinguished actors in the drama OF rebellion.
He urged the Importance Of cultlFatlng a
good understa landing with Major Anderson,
aud insisted that there ought to be no col
lision by an attack on Fort Sumter, @c-' &C
We confess to considerable curiosity to
see how the Tribune will extricate itself
from this dilemma. Seriously, if the New
York Press wilfully palm of, such letters as
bring from bona fde correspondents, where
they have no such correspondents, what de-
pendence can the people place in anything
they read in those papers. 1t is no wonder
the public mind is harrassed and vexed
when such stuff is put upon them as genu-
iue and unauthorized news.

The Power OF HEARTY LAUGHTER. The
following incident came to us thoroughly
authenticated, although we are not at lib
erty to publish any names
A short time since two individuals in the
city Of New Haven were lying in one bed
room very sick, one with brain fever. and
the other an aggravated case of mumps
They were so low that watchers were need
ed every night, and it was thought doubtful
if the one sick of fever would recover. A
gentleman was engaged to watch one night
his duty being to wake the nurse whenever
It became necessary to take medicine In
the course of the night both watcher and
nurse fell asleep. The man with the mumps
lay watching the clock, and saw it was
time to give the fever patient his potion.
He was unable to speak aloud or to move
any portion of his body except his arms,
but Selling pillow he managed to strike
the watcher in the face with it. Thus sud-
denly awakened, the watcher sprane from
his seat, falling to the floor and awakening
both the nurse and fever patient The in
cident struck both the sick men as very lu-
dicrousr and they laughed most heartily at
1t for fifteen or twenty minutes When the
doctor came in the morning he found his
patients vastly improved saidIhe had never
known so sudden turn for the better-and
they are now both out and we'll Who saws
laughter is not the best medicine 2

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WASHINGTON CRY, March 23d. 1861.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 23d, 1861.
EDTToRs JOURNAL 1t is currently re-
ported on the streets to-day that England
and France will acknowledge the independ-
ence of the Southern Confederacy. If this
is done, we are either forced to make the
same acknowledgement or fight. My own
opinion is that war will be proclaimed in
less than thirty days. Every incident looks
that way.
Our city, or rather the city of Washing
ton, is filled with strangers, and they say
that many of them are after Office. Some
twenty-five or thirty prominent Indiana
politicians are stopping at the Clarendon
Hotel, on the avenue opposite the National
Hotel. This is new house, and by far the
all our Indiana friends to call and eat and
sleep with mine host D. p Norris. They
will find him very clever gentleman, and
his house is all, aud even more, thaD have
said of it. Col. Lane, q. s. Senator, and
several Republican members of Congress are
sleeping here. W.M.F.

pE7gHA distinguished politician Of the north
came on to Montgomery last week with of
iers for the whole of the fifteen million loan
at par, the bid being made by English cap
itaiists. We learn that Mr.. Memminger de-
clued the negotiation, preferring to give edo
nestle capitalists the refusal of the bids
Since this offer was made, we have been
told that New Orleans takes ten millions,
and a Georgia house five, all at par. Indeed,
at eight per cent, with the hypOthecation
of the export duties on our cotton, the Con-
federated States would not find the least
difficulty in receiving offers for one hun
dred millions in 90 days.-AtJanta Contede-
racy.
We were under the impression that the
celebrated loan had long since been taken
at per cent. premium. So that is a mis-
take is it? Home capitalists are to have
the refusal Of the bids Good We always
did have a high appreciation of a govern
ment that encouraged home interests. We
trust the domestic capitalists will in like
manner show their appreciation of this act
of kindness on the part Of Mr. Memminger
by planking down the " dough" forthwith.
