ANOTHER SENSATION IN STORE FOR
PARIs-It is confidently asserted that
the 5000 troops from China will make
their triumphal entry into Paris with as
much parade and circumstance as the
heroes of Solferino. Already is the pop
ulation eagerly looking out for the oilici-
al nomination of the date Of the cere-
mony. So far from our generation being
destined to teach wisdom to posterity, it
would seem as if even tho wise experience
of our ancestors were destined to turn to
folly in our hands, and to be bequeathed
to our children in the shape ofvanity and
puerility Of the military kind.

APatriOtIc Young Lady.

The fair maiden who penned the following letter
has revived "reminiscences of the most patriotic
women Of the world. Like JOAN D. ARC, she has
not rushed into the field, in person, nor, like
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, has she abandoned the lux
uries and refinements Of home, to pass her days in
soldiers hospitals and nurse the wounded and sick
volunteer, and soothc his dying moments. She
proposes, however, TO give her Time talents and
education during the next twelyemOnth to the
service of the soldier, by apprOprIating the pro-
ceeds Of her labors, as a teacher, to the sick and
wounded volunteers of our State. Her parents are
wealthy and she is inspired alone by patriotism in
thus devoting herself to an exhausting occupation
Beneath that gentle bosom their beat the great
heart-throbs that make heroes and that teach ma
tions to be great independent and free.
For obvious reasons, we withhold her name. Her
services have been accepted:

Mr. PERRY H. OLIVER, the owner of blind TON'
whose wonderful powers as pianist have excited
the admiration Of the Southern people, proposes to
give concerts in all the principal towns of the South
the whole proceeds Of which he will apply for the
equipment of volunteers who join the Southern
army. He thinks he can equip from $50 to 200
men each week in this way, provided halls are fur
nished him free of charge, and the taxes upon his
concerts are RENTED, which will, of course, be
done. Mr.. OLIVER desires to commence his con-
eerts in Nashville We can endorse him man
of honor and integrity who will do whatever he en-
cages to do. His heart is warmly enlisted in the
Southern cause. He is q native Georgian and it is
his purpose to join the forces do anything which
will be most useful to the cause So patriotic
proposition ought to be at responded to by the
people, the City Councils and the proprietors of
Hall in the proper spirit. Win not the lessees CT
Masonic Temple tender him the use Of their Con-
cert Hall, and will not the City Council invite him
to commence his noble work in this city. Mr..
OLIVER is now in RUssellvile, Kentucky.

The Vote on the Permanent constitution.

The Vote on the Permanent Constitution.
We cannot too earnestly and frequently warn the
people to be on their guard against secret system
of voting against the Permanent Constitution, the
object of which is to cast off the connection Of
Tennessee with the Southern Confederacy. If by
this system of stimulating votes, the great majority
of the people, who we know are in favor of this
permanent connection with the South, should be
defeated, by confidence NTH result Tennessee
viii at once be threwn upon her own resources to
sustain the war, and will finally be thrown back
into the hateful Government of LINCOLN. This is
the true object of those who opposed to the
ratification Of the permanent Constitution.
They will compass earth to effect their
nefarious end. They have no objec-
lions to the Constitution itself They know
that it is the same in substance with the old Con-
stitution as construed by States Rights men, and
they cannot even make decent argument against
it. Let the people then bear it in mind that the sole
object of the conspirators against it is to refasten
the State to the car of LINCOLN, which they have
repudiated and cast off by majority of over Co.,
0OO and let them not neglect to cast their votes and
get all their neighbors to vote "for the Permanent
Constitution" and to mark that he who votes
against it, wishes to return to the Ramp Govern
ment, just cast of.
By the actsubEitting the ordinance of ratification
to the people, the lst of August, the volunteers,
whether in or out of the State, entitled to vote
commanders of camps and military posts will be
guided by the following sections of the act:
SEC s. Be Il further enacted, That all persons enti-
tied 70 vote for Governor and Members of the Cen
eraI Assembly shall be qualified to vote in said
election and that all volunteers in actual service,
and officers of me army may vote in any county IN
the State where the service may require them to be
at that time provided that in their proper counties
they would be entitled TO vote.
SEC. 6. Be Il further enacted, That all volunteers
in actual service, out of the limits Of the State on
the day of the election, but who, if in their proper
counties would be entitled to vote, shall be entitled
to vote in said election and to provide them the
means of voting it is made the duty Of the captains
of the companies to which they may belong, on the
day of the election to open and hold the election for
them. They shall vote by ballot and the result
shall be returned in writing to the Secretary Of
State and constitute part of the vote of the State
but before opening said election, each Captain shall
be sworn by the Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel OF
of his regiment to act mpartally and to receive no

Wanted u Husband.

The good people of Worksop have had
plenty of food for gossip during the past few
days, which originated as follows:
On Saturday last an advertisement ap-
peared in Manchester paper, stating that a
lady was desirous of corresponding with a
gentleman with view of matrimony, &c e.,
address B., Postoffice, Worksop. Various
were the surmises as to who this fair adVer-
tiser could be, who had lived so long in a
state of single bessedness that the thought
of being an old maid became intolerable, and
had induced her to make this bold stroke, so
as to end her wretched state. Our bachelors,
matrimonially inclined, also felt q pang OF
regret to think there was one, doubtless fair,
agreeable and accomplished, who was Lam
gushing to enter upon a more congenial
life, and would, perhaps, be soon snatched
from their midst and borne away to adorn
some bold strangers home. 1t has, no wever,
been aseertained that the fair advertiser was
quite a stranger in this town, and had ar
rived few days previously to the advertise
ments appearing. She took expensive lodg-
ings, and, although she was apparently in
the full possession of all her faculties, yet
che conducted herself in a very mysterious
manner, and during the teW days she was at
her lodgings she received several queerly ad-
dressed communications, &c. The landlady,
not at all liking such mysterious ways, gave
the lady notice to quit, and she accordingly
left, but where she has gone is not known
1t is presumed that the lady had left direc.
tions at the postofice that any letters ad.
dressed in the manner described in the ad.
Vertisement should be sent to her lodgings
and accordingly on Tuesday afternoon the
postman called at the house with no less
than twenty-three letters in reply to the ad-
vertisement. The lady having departed, and
left no instructions as to where the letters
should be sent, they were taken back to the
postoffice, and will In due course, if moi
claimed, be forwarded to the dead letter
office, and will no doubt cause some amuse-
ment to those whose duty it is to open them.
The lady stated she was governess out oi
place, was well-dressed, ladylike in appear
ance and about thirty years of age.-Not-

TAKING THE 0ATH.-Something unique
in the matter of "taking the oath" came to
my ears the other day. 1t may not be more
authentic than the story of the spy related
above; yet, as it possesses, like the spy
story, merit Independent Of authenticity,
I'll cen give it to you. Immediately after
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, there
were ESQ the story runs) some fifteen or
twenty men in and near Franklin, Indiana,
who were Southern in their feelings-did not
keep pace with the general public indig-
nation. They were regarded as men Of
doubtful loyalty, and their neighbOrs, hav-
ing gathered in strong force, armed to in
force the demand, required them to take the
oath of allegiance. There was no room for
lodging, and they swore to support the Con-
stitution. Time rolled on. Fremont was
removed form his high command, and some
of the very patriots who had thus admins
tered the oath to the Southern sympathiz-
ers" grew obstreperous. They declared
they would seize their guns, repair to Wash.
ington, and depose Old Abe. "Now's our
time" said the semi-secesh; and, suiting
the action to the word, they armed them.
selves with shotguns and rifles, and, hav-
ing surrounded a number of excited FIRE.
