Pomeroy's Abolition Resolutions.
1t is enough to make an honest citi-
zen blush with shame to know that the
Congress ofthe United States is con-
taminated with the presence Of mem.
Der who in the face and eyes of the Con-
stitution, the long established laws of the
land and. Of State rights generally,
would get up and offer such scandslous
resolutions as those which follow. lie
ignores every principle of honor and
honesty, and goes in for war OF sub)u-
CATION, and the total abolition Of slavery
by special edict ofthe President. Does
the traitor to his country imagine that
be is living in Russia? But he il accre-
dited good staunch Republican-one
Of the vigorous order-and as such has
no hesitancy in ignoring the very Con,
stitution which he pretends to be fight
ing for. The following specimen Of trea-
son was introduced into the Senate:
Be It enacted By the Senate and
House of Representa- tives of the United
of this act, there shall be no slavery or
involuntary servitude 10 suy of the States
of this Union that claim to have seced-
cd from the Government, and are in
open and armed resistance to the execu-
ton OF the laws and the provisions of
the Constitution Of the Urited States.
Sec. 2. Ind be 1t further enacted,
That, Immediately upon the passage of
this act, the President of the United
States shall cause his proclamation to
be issued, setting forth the immediate
and unconditional emancipation of all
persons held as slaves in any of the
aforesaid States, under the laws thereof
And also ordering all officers to give
protection to all such emancipated
slaves,and accept the services of all who
may tender them in behalf of the Gov
ernment, if in the judgment of such off
GERS such services shall be useful or
necessary to the prosecution Of this war.
The Richmond papers tell an amusing
story Of one of the "pet lambs" of the
New York Fire Zouaves, who was caught
and taken to Fairfax. Wren carried
before Beauregard, he manifested his
contempt for that chieftain by putting
his thumb to his nose and gyrating with
bis fingers. Being ordered under con-
finement, he turned about suddenly,
kicked Colonel who stood near, in the
stomach SO hard that he sat down,
knocked the Corporal who had HIM in
charge head over heels. and invited
Beanregard to "come on and get lam.
med" declaring that ''if be didn't have
muss led spile." Finding none OF
the surprised lookers-ou started to meet
him, he took to his heels down a lane.
Several shots were fred at him without
effect. At each successive discharge be |
would turn to make grimaces at his pur-
suers, or jump high in the air and yell,
as It struck. Suddenly . Lieutenant
with drawn sword sprang before him
from an adjacent building. "S-a-a-a-y,
what are you about, p'intin' that thing |
at me - exclaimed Zouave. "Don't yer |
know yer might cut my bran new wes-
kite? Being marched off to Jail and |
put in solitary cell, he sigosl'zed his
first evenings Judgment there by set
ting it on fire. The rebels seem to ad.
mire the cool audacity Of the chap, and
Beauregard laughed heartily at his
pranks.

The members of this Board and the community
generally have sustained great loss in the decesse
of our distinguished fellow citizen and late Vice
President of this Company, the Hon. Jas A. Whit
side who departed this life on the l2th of Novsm
Der, 1861, aged about SIS years, after long and
painful illness.
Mr.. Whiteside obtained a conspicuous position
among the distinguished men of the State many
years SINCE and by the influence which his talents
gave him, contributed largely in obtaining the char
ter Of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany at the Legislature eff 1886 g. of which he was
an active and influential member He subsequently
rendered efficient aid in getting subscriptions TO
build the road. He was elected Director OF this
company at the first cleo ion in Jsnasry I848 and
has lled that position continuously from this time
until his death In December, 1858, he was elected
Vice President, and since that tilce he has devoted
himself wholly to the interest and business of the
road with nntiring energy and sssiduity, which
has contributed In no small degree to the high posi-
ton it has now obtained among the railroads Of the
South ...- -r.r--
Mr. Whiteside's mind was of 8 clear and discrim,
mating character, and his talents were of a high
order, which united with ama5ility and suavity Of
manners won for him the respect aud regard of
every member of this Board, and of all who knew
him He was emPhshOAIly one of the leaders in
the cause of internal improvements N this State,
and her citizens owe to his memory a lasting debt
of gratitude and his loss will be severely felt by
the community generally, and this Board in partIc
ular We weull cast veil over the loss of his
family, which ia of too ssered a character TO be
intruded upon. Therefore, ..-..
Resolved unanimously, That this Board sincerely
regret that friend and fellow citizen, Jsmes A.
Whitesides, has been called from among us ia the
hight of his usefulness, and that we deeply sympa-
thze with his afflicted family in the irreparable
loss that they have sustained.
ResolUed, That this preamble and resolution be
spread on the minutes and published in all the pa
