TAIL OF A KITE.


Practical men often stop, cast up their &C
counts, to ses if their enterprise pays. This
is eminently required Of eur citizens at the
present moment Shall we allow our State to
be the stamping ground of two hundred
thousand men, in hSstile arrayf This is oar
practical question. Remember whichever is
victor, Tennessee is the prey. We viii be
vanauished. Our commercial relations with
our sister States suspended, the avocations of
the artisan interrupted, the mechanical
branches Of industry paralyzed, the inpli-
ments of agriculture forged into weapons Of
war, the schools for our children abandoned
our courts "fugitiyes from justice" We will be
bankrupt at home and rediculed abroad
Even now the managers Of the secession kite,
the cotton aristocracy of the Gulf States,
hospitality of the border States. They do not
care to sffict their families with the anxieties
incident to the presence of licentious soldiery.
Hence 1t is greatly to their convenience TO
have our fair domain impoverished that their
sacred soil may go unscathed. But fellow
citizens, does this lihershty on our part pay 2
We know that Memphis is the key TO Tennes-
see, that the Mississippi viii never be allowed to
pass out of the control of the Union, and we
must submit to the necessity of having our
soil possessed by contending sr"ies, go io-r as
secession snail dispute the right of any foot of
land that fronts the river. Ysur own deci-
sion will practically cad in contest so far as
your own material interests are concerned.
| You must know, that the contest viii be q
long one, if you resiat. That so long as Jack
sons sentiments lives in the minds Of his
countrymen, so long an effort win be made to
preserve the Federal Union. Will Tennessee
ignore their sympathy with the hero-states-
man, desolate their own fair State, and earn
the contempt of future ages BY being the
cats paw of secession monkeys, the tail to q
cotton kite I

1 would recommend the following extract
from Heroditus, s1he Father of History" to
the good people who are anxious just now to
put the war into the hands of the negroes.
The Scythian warriors having been absent
from home long time on an expedition, their
woman intermarried with their slaves, and
the children By the new marriages, on arriving
at manhood, opposed the return of the old
Scythians to their country. Heroditus says: !:
MANY battles were fought and the Scyth-
ians gained no advantage, until at last one of
them addressed the remainder: w hat are we
doing, Scyshians7 We are fighting our slaves,
diminishing our own number when We fail,
and the number of those that belong to us
when they fall by our hands. Take nay ad-
yice--lay spear and sword aside, and lot each
man fetch his horsevhip, and go boldly up to
them. So long as they see US with arms In
our hands, hey imagine themselves our equals
in birth and bravery; but when they behold
us with no other weapon but the whip, they
will then feel that they are our slaves and nee
before as The Scythians followed this coun-
sci and the slaves were so astounded that tney
forgot to fight and Immediately ran away

CHAPTER II.

Now Jefferson, whose surname
should have been Brick, but that 1t was
not, seeing that it was Davis,
Saw the counsel that it was good.
And having seen it, and set his eyes
upon the egg which their wisdom had
hatched, and pronounced it good egg;
Chose him Of his chief men two,
whereof the like were not to be found
no, not in all the North, and in the
South was not their equal.
Whereof the first was Mason, the
like of whom was not known, not in the
land Of Huram Of old, nor among the
IIitti,es or the dwellers by the sea.
For he was like unto a turkcy-cock,
stuck mp, and Of fexcessive pride, spread
ing himself and s.rntting vchemently
from the rising of the sun even unto the
going down Of the same; ineffably
great in his own concclt. yelling in
vanity, puffed mp like bladder even
nigh unto bursting;
So that the little ones in the market
lace cried after him, "B:g Injin, Leap
big!"
And the other was little New for-
ker. even a renegade OF the North, one
who had back slidden f.om the ways
of his fathers, and that right ILL.,
Wherefore he was called Slde-ill
Howbeit some termed him Sly DEAL
from lis dealing both with cards and
with men.
But it came to pass that they called
him Slidell, forasuaaseh as that he was
one who naturally took the whole Glib
whether one gave him an inch or no.
Now they packed their trunks, and
took unto them ''poor EEStis, and
many others equally talented and i'm
portant.
Not forgetting their wives. neit..er
their man servents nor their main ser
vents. their wines nor their cigars.
Howbeit they took not wit. them
the bonds of the Confederacy, lest the
Paris shopkcepers should say Go to
it is naught;' =
But divers eagles and dimes. stolen
aforc,ime from Uncle Sam, took they.
Likewise bills Of exchange and circular
letters Of credit upon certain Of the
Jews
And SO they went down unto the
sea in khips-even in a steam ship
sailing unto the HAVANA, where she
was un,aded Of her burden.

CHAPTER VII.

Now it had come to pass years before
and was on record,
That Mason, having been asked to
visit Boston,
Replied, "verily, verify, I say unto
you that Will not set foot therein
again save as an ambassador to that
iand.,''
Now these things were remembered
against him, and printed in all the papers,
even in the Boston papers printed they
them.
And they bare him into prison, with
Slidell and poor Eustis was he bore Of
hemi-
And they seemed extremely wamble-
cropt aid chopfallen their feathers
shonc not, even their sickle feathers
droopsd down in the dust, and their
combs where white.
And they seemed as unciean men
caught in their unrighteousness, who.
had been sold uncommonly cheap, with
nary buyer.
And they took from them the gold
which they had stolen afore-time
from Uncle Sam, even the bills upor
the Hebrews did they yield up. How
belt, they received receipt for them.
And they asked much, GLOW shall
we feed, and may we have servantsy'
and wished to live pleasantly; yet,
when at Richmord, S.idcll had reviled
the Yankee prisoners sorely, and coun.
seied harsh treatment.
Then went they into the jug, and
were allotted each man his bunk in the
prison house.
And the word weht forth to hang alt
pirates and robbers on the sea, even as
it had been spoken stern!y by old Abe
of Washington.
Saying, string them up in short order.
And il they Of Secessia hang the
brave Corcoran and his friends,
Then, as the Lord liveth, Slidcll and
Mason shall pull hemp; even on the
gallows shall they hang like thieves and
mmderers-the land hath sworn il.

INFANT SLAVERY IN ENGLAND
"Slayes cannot breathe in England"
saws Cowpcr, but we all know he was
Qf unsomd mind. Truly, there are
slaves in England, who have scarcely
time to breathe. Children Of the ages
at which even little helots in this country
are roofing in the dust and making dirt
pies, are Systematically worked in Eng
lish pin factories, potelies, lace factories,
and various other manufactures, from
dawn till dark. Thousands Of little
creatures from three to six years Of age,
are made to slave for the food that
barely sustains them, the rags that
scantily cover them, in all tie great
manufacturing towns. We derive this
information from The state nents of COM
missioncrs employed by the British
government to inquire into the abuse,
and it is fair to presume that their tes,i-
mony is veracious. These investiga-
tons have furnished some striking in
stances Of the style in which infancy is
sometimes turned to account III merry,
prosperous England. For example, they
found an infant under two years of age,
shaving regularly in the lace weaving
business from six in the morning until
ak in the evening, While the mother
with her two older children, of the re-
spe, tive ages Of six and eight, labored
sixteen hours day. These miserable
creatures were not compelled thus to
toll. Oh! no. They were free-free
20 starve. The wolf was at the door
that was all; and to keep him partially
at bay, they wove the thread Of their sad
lives into the dainty woof with shnttles
that never rested. The commissioners
found multitudes Of children, engaged
in employments to which the ten hour
law did not apply, who worked from six
in the morning until ten at night. They
had no time to play-scarcely TO eat
thei. meals, which, however, were not
so ample to detain them long.
And vet ssslavcs cannot breathe ~
England" If such slaves Were here,
they would undoubtedly breathe more
free and deeper"

CHAPTER vi.

Nowit came to pass, at the end OF
the first day, that they saw the Trent in
the Bermudas, even in the channel.
Then the brave Captain sent on board
Lieutenant Fai,fax, which in the Morse
tongue is Harfager or Fair Haired
since it runneth on the ocean.
And he mounting the ship, cried
aloud, "Wherc are they -
Then the :snglishman replied, II know
not whom ye seel.--lo, they are not
here's
Then he, seeing Mason little apart,
cried, "Lo. here he is.''
And Mason, hearing this, turned to
the color of ashes; his knees smote to
gether; the became even as a boiled
turkey-cock; there was no soul left in
him.
Yes, even his collar wilted, and the
stock of his heart went down ninety five
per cent.
HoWbeit he said. with olldell, 1--WE
will not 60 save we be forced"
.Thcn,' replied Fairfax, Il shall take
you by force.'
SO they held council together, and
resolved to so.
But their wives and little ones they
sent on to Europe, and gave instructions
to poor Eustis.
Bidding him to 60 in when it should
rain, and be sure and put up his um-
brella, if he had one.
Likewise to bear certain documents
promptly and speedily 10 the kings and
princes;
Which Wilkes hearing, he speedily
smashed, taking poor Eastis with the
papers.
This was tho end Of the Council OF
Trent. It was not that great council
Of the name, but very small one, and
which came to nothing-small potatoes,
and q few in hill. Selah
