Question.

Mr. EDITOR Ills It better to go to church
or stay at home, that's the question Is it
better for one who loves God aud the gov
ernment of his fathers-who labors and
prays for the glory Of the one and the main.
tenanoe Of the other-whO earnestly desires
TO act the part Of neigbbOr, and bring
blessings and only blessings, upon his fell
low citizens Is II better for such an one to
stay at home and read his Bible, or go to
church and hear a disloyal preacher
Is 1t more Conducive to the development
of the Christian graces for one to remain
where he can at least preserve self respect,
or 60 TO church where his own brethren ut.
terly ignore him, or recognize but to treat
him with contempt?
Such a question has been asked me by
one who once was glad when twas said "let
us 60 into the house of the Lord" 1 sub
nit it to you, and shall look with interest for
your response,

There seems to be a misapprehension
on the part Of the public relative to the
object and results Of Gen. NEaLEY's re-
cent expedition 10 Chattanooga. It's OBJ
ject, we understand, was simply TO make
a demonstration in force on that point for
the sake Of the effect which it was rea-
sonably supposed it would have on that
portion Of the rebel army stationed at
Cumberland Gap. He whipped and
routed ADAMS in Sweeden's Cove, and
taking position on this side of the river,
opposite Chattanooga, he made them ske-
daddie out Of the city in true Southern
style. They burnt the railroad bridges
as they fed to prevent a pursuit never
intended to be made. The Federals did
not cross the river into the city, but re-
turned to Huntsville.
4 About eighty pestilent Rebel citizens of
that section were arrested, as has been
before stated, and are now at ShelbyEille,
we believe. SO, il will be seen, that East
Tennessee has not been liberated, and it
is little less than cruel mockery on the
part Of our more Northern cotemp araries
) to so publish it,
IL has been reported also, that many of
the citizens Of Chattanooga m anifested
their loyalty on the appearance of the
Union troops, and that they were seized
and placed in close confinement by the
Rebels. We saw the gentleman who is
said to have made this report and we are
fully convinced, from a conversation with
him, that he was misunderstood He,
truthful, patriotic and upright citizen, as
we know him to be, has been in e. Tennes-
see all the time, and in conversation he has
mentioned many rebel barbarities which
occurred months ago; and he is misun-
dersiood as asserting that they have oc-
Cured since Gen. NEGLEY's expedition.
We think it highly probable that no re-
cent arrests have been made in Chatta-
nooga Nevertheless, there was one gall
liant young patriot who was murdered in
Hamilton county, eleven miles from
Chattanooga, who imprudently proclaim
ed his unionism. Other cruelties were
perpetrated by the rebels as soon as the
Federal forces disappeared.
We hope our military authorities will
not again think it necessary to go into
East tennessee anti they are prepared
to remain. When the Federal army en-
ters East Tennessee it should go TO re-
lieve that gallant people, and not to ag.
gravate their sufierings.
A temporary occupancy Of East Ten
nessee territory is the most disastrous
circumstance that could happen. Chat
tanooga could be held as easily as il
could be taken, and we hope TO hear Of
no mOAe expeditions that brings in their
trail prosecutions and death to q people
that have never faltered under the most
tryiP circumstances.

STABILITY NOT TYRANNY.-Tt is wrong TO
suppose that any arbitrary element must ne
cessarily enter into the formation Of any gov
eminent, to ensure its permanency, or quie-
tude A government may be strong as it
is called and yet have such sanctions and safe
guards thrown around the great constitutional
principles which protect life, liberty, and pro-
perty, that no ruler dare violate them. AL
though no admirer of the English Government
We may cite to illustrate our meaning. The
Queen herself aided by all her csbinet, and
with the universal support ofthe whole peerage;
dare not infringe the legal and constitutional
right of the meanest subj ct. An attempt
would so surely disrupt the government that it
is taken for granted to be impossible. Moth
ing but law as administered by the Courts has
any power over life or property, and these
laws are framed for all.
Indeed stability of government and unifor-
nifty of policy, are the surest safeuuords
against the arhitrariness Of individual MIND.
Freedom from all personal restraint is the vor,-
soil out of which springs the individual tvrant
who oversha9ows and withers all others as the
noisome and rank growing tree darkens the
ground beneath, and makes it barren When
there is a power TO arrest and prune such
growth, so that all may grow together, the face
of the earth becomes covered with yerdure

MURDER.-0ur readers will remember that
when the Federal feet under Com Farragut
arrived before New Orleans, and pending ne
gotiations for the surrender of the city, par
Gel ofFederals landed from the fleet, and raised
the q. S. flag upon the mint. The act was
premature and unWarranted. New Orleans was
still Confederate city. 1t had neither been
captured nor had it then surrendered. The
Federal flag had no claims there. Feeling thus,
a number of the citizens headed by young
man named MumfoTl removed the flag from
the mint. Afterwards when the city surren-
dered the Federal flag was properly raised over
the different public buildings.
Since Buffers arrival and occupation Of th e
city young Mumford, for this act, has been
arrested, tried for treason by military com
mission, condemned and executed.
We have entire confidence that, our autho-
rites will take the proper course in reference
to this matter, but belligerents are certainly
not amenable to the penalties of treason, for
opposing the enemy in all proper modes. If
any Confederate citizen may be arrested and
tried fo1 treason against the Federal govern
ment, all rules of civilized warfare must be
dispensed with.

DEATH OF GEN. HEMPsTEAD.-With deep
sorrow, which will be shared by many who
read this paragraph, we announce the death of
Gen. Sam'l II. Hampstead. He died in Little
Rock ON Wednesday evening, the 18th nit.
He was one of our earliest acquaintance in
this State of our adoption, and has been well
known to US since then, at the bar and i'll the
social circle. He was uniformly courteous
and obliging IN social life, and in his profess
sional habits, Many younger members of the
bar will gratefully remember valuable assis-
lance rendered by him, in kindly aid of their
inexperience.
He was man of strong intellect, studious
habits and indefatigable industry. He was a
noted man in Arkansas, and although his Of
fee duties and studious habits precluded him
from mingling fully and at all times with the
masses of the people, his influence has been
extensively felt in directing the policy, and
moulding the jurisprudence of our State.
He was a specimen of the class OF noble
Southern patriots of Northern birth. Only q
few short weeks have elapsed. since he offered
up the blood of a son upon the altar of liberty,
He was the father of young Carl Hampstead
whose death we announced after the bloody
days of Shiloh.
Arkansas can now i'll spare men like Samuel
II. Hampstead.
