Southern Cavaliers vs.. Northern Puntans.


The following article appeared in the
misunderstanding Green Nashville Cour-
ier turing its publication in the last ned
place. lis worth Republication just now:
"This has been called fratrcidAl war
BY some, .bysothers an irrepressibe con
ffict between freedom and slavery. We
respectfully take issue with the authors of
both these ideas. We are not the broth
ers of the Yankees, and the slavery ques-
ton is merely the pretext, not the cause Of
the war. The u lie irrepressible conflict
lies fundamentally in the hereditary hostil-
ity, the sacred luminosity, the eternal ant9g-
onism between the two races engaged.
The Norman cavalier cannot brook the
vulgar familiarity Of the Saxon Yankee,
while the latter IS continually devising some
plan TO bring down his arstocratic neigh
Dor, to his own d.tested level. Thus was
the contest waged in the old United
States. So long as Dickinson doughfaces
were to be bought and Cochrane cowards
to be frightened, so long was the Union
toIefable to Southern men; bat whom
owing to divisions in our ranks, the Yam
kee hirelinga placed one Of their owp
spawn over US, political connection became
unedurable, and separation necessary TO
preserve our self-fespect.
AS our Norman kinsmen in England,
always minority, have ruled their Saxon
countrymen in political vassalage up to
the present day, 50 have we, the slave OH
garchs, governed the Yankees till within
twelve month We framed the Consti-
tuition. for seventy years moulded the poll
cy Of the government, and placed our own
men, or northern men with Southern prin-
cipIes,' in power.
On the 9th of November, 1860, the Pu-
ritans emancipated themselves and are
now in violent Instruction against their
former owners. This insane holiday freak
will not last long however, for, dastards in
fight, aud incapable Of self-goyernment,
they viii inevitably again fall under the
control Of the superior race. A few more
Bull Run thtashings will bring them once
more under the yoke as docile as the most
loyal Of our Ethiopian 'chattels.' "

The following IS copied from the State
Journal Of June 10th.
A large proportion of this forenoon
was occupied on the tax bill. 1t was
taken from the general file, and the ques-
ton OF its indefinite postponemeut was
brought directly before the Senate. The
motion to postpone was most a IN advo-
Gated by Senators Hopkins, spooner,
Bartlett, and others, who pointed out the
utter ilnpossibiity of giving the bill prop
81 consideration, without greatly prolopg-
inc the session; and the only feature Of
tie bill that it was claimed 10 be impor-
TAM, was that relative to the taxation OF
railroads, and the oil al nct contemplate
the taking effect Of this provision till next
year. The Senators insisted that the
whole matter should be deferred 70 the
next session, when it could be taken up
and considered fully and intelligently.--
The motion to postpone was opposed by
Senators Bean, Pratt, Clark, and others,
on the ground that new tax law was de-
manded by the people. The speeches Of
Senators Spooner, Bartlett, and Hopkins,
were decidedly able, 4 conclusive, to our
mind, qgainst the propriety Of attempting
to pass such Il law at this session.
The bill was nmly indefinitely post
poned, by a vote of Is to Il; all the
Democratic Senators voting against the
motion, and ali the Republicans voting Tor
it, except Senators Bean and Jenkins
This afternoon. the vote BY which the
biI providing for the settlement q the
printing claim Of Messrs. Carpenter Y
liver was defeated on Saturday, was ~
considered, and the question being en- or
dering it 10 a third yeadin5, il was again
rejected.

II Cousnmptiyes.

Ossian e. Dodge, the vocalits, writing
of ST. Paul, Minnesota, speaks thus in high
terms Of the benefits OF It's cool, dry atmos-
phere, for conSumptves:
"rhe air in the vicinity Of st. Paul is
dry, pure and iuvigcrating; the scenery
wild, varied and beautiful; and the society
is made up from the best families from
New England, New York and Ohio.
Those who went from New England, and
have resided in St. Paul for the past two
years, invariably claim that as lovely as the
summers are universally acknowledged to
be, they can in no way he compared to the
clear bracing winter. 4 is then that ST.
Paul looms up comparab!y above all other
places in America. The tlermometersinks
10 within about ten degrees below zero,
and there remains with tut little variation
until spring; the air remaining meanwhile
perfectly dry and inyigorating, and offering
a most certain cure for almost all diseases
Of lungs. So soon do the residents and
visitors become accustomed to this dry cold
weather, that even less amount Of cloth-
ng is generally worn than is necessary in
the changeabIe climate Of New England,
New York, and the northern part Of Ohio,
where in some instances, il may he truly
said that the witlter winds are q SO search
ing quality that one often feels as il inn
mersed in cold turpeutlne."

re- Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, ID the
course Of his service at tie Plymouth
Church, Sunday night, made an eloquent
appeal for newspapers, spe king Of them
as one Of the most potent elements Of our
civilization. "There is, said he, "a COM
mon vulgar objection about newspapers
that they lie 50; they don't lie any more
than you do. Nan is naturally a lying
creature. Truth IS a gift from Heaven, and
very few Of US possess it before We get
there. The newspapers give both facts and
fulnors, and they would be blamed i they
did not do so. 1t is for the reader to Judge
Of these rumors. The last economy should
be IN regard to newspapers. II is better 70

Or garment, than to deprive the mind Of its

and formerly an earnest Union man, but
more recently an officer in the rebel ar, ~.
The meeting took place at the quarters Of
Major Cook Some Champagne was
opened and The discussion Of the state Of
country presently grew warm. The Ala
bama Colonel told the Ohio Colonel he
was liar. with the customary qualifying
epithet, and Ohio told him that if be We're
rot tho guest of Major Cook, be would
knock him down. Alabama begged Ohio
not to have any scruples Of that sort, and
repeated the epitlet. So at it they went.
Far play was shown, and Ohio soon made
good his word, knocking Alabama down,
and giving Linn severe betting when he
was down. Ohio's damage consisted chief
" in a badly torn shirt. Alabama re-
ceiyed pain Of black eyes and an en-
larged nose aud mouth. Jere Clemens
met the Ohio officer few days afterwards
and told him he had inquired into the par
ticuars Of the affray, and that his partner
Davis had been served exactly right
Davis afterwards acknowledged that he
had got no more than he deserved. This
little circumstances has contributed largely
to the popularity Of the Ohioan in Hunts
