We learn that at Columbia the county seat Of
Maury county, al attempt was made about ten
days since, to get up grand Union demon
stration, which terminated IN a most humilatlng
and disgraceful failure, Flaming posters were
handed around the streets and stuck up at pub
lie places, announcing that the loyal citi-
zens of Maury, would, on a certain day, present
General NEGLEY's brigade of Hessisn invaders
with ' Union flag. Accordingly, upon the
appointed occasion, the brigade assembled at the
court house to bear its blushing hOnors, when
but three citizens, of the whole population of
Maury, presented themselves as participants in
the infamous and reasonable procedure This
THO of traitors should be handed down 10 pos
terity, and we accordingly give their names
c. P. BYNUM, c. d. CRAWFORD, and JUNIUs
WILSON, all three of whom have long been re-
garded as men of doubtful loyalty
1t is stated that the Federal commander, NEG-
LEY, was so mortified at this demonstration Of
90 Union sentiment" that his whole speech in
reply to the presentation, consisted in protest
against the policy Of the movement as ou- cal
culated to divide and e1asperste the people, It
proved 8 complete fzzle in every respect,
and only served to attest the stern and uuwayer-
ing devotion Of the people to the Confederate
cause.
We are pleased to learn that the people of
Middle Tennessee-eYen those who were once
lukewaTm in support of the war-sre every day
becoming more bittefly opposed to the rule Of
ANDREW JOHNSON and his minions, by reason
Of their atrociOus outrages on the rights OF per

BIondin at LivsrpooI-Narro,, Escnpo.

The hero Of Niagara gave display of his re-
maTkable teats. at the Theater Royal Liverpool,
on the 10Th ultimo. The excitement of the
whole display eliminated in the last of the pro-
gramme-the artist carrying a man on his back
along the rope; and this excitement was still
further increased by the occurrence of sn acci-
dent, which was well nigh being attended with
very serious consequences. The high rope was
stretched from the middle of the gallery on the
back of the stage. In front of the gallery is an
iron railing, and upon this rope rested. Mr.
BlOndin had carried his assistant on his back on
sings from the stage to the gallery, and was
about to return, when, the moment they had
passed the railing in question, it gave way,
causing the rope suddenly to fall 70 about two
feet, and jerking the two men from it. They
fell backwards, but fortunately they slighted on
the arms of some of the gods" and thus es-
capped any harm. Had the yoyagers been but
yard or SO further along the rope over the pit.
they must inevitably have been dashed to the
hoOr. BlOndin displayed admirable presence of
mind. As though nothing at all had happened,
he picked himself and his burden up, and, not
withstanding the slackening Of the rope by the
accident, conveyed him in safety to the opposite
extremity, amidst the cheers of the audience
