| have been ordered to East Tennessee
to procure Government supplies for the
army at Vicksburg, and will take great
pleasure in forwarding any provisions or
clothing that may be contributed to East
Tennesseeans in Mississippi, free Of

The poor old morning Abolition newspaper
Of this city gravely advises that the Times

violenco--not so much on the score that the
supremacy OF the law should prevail, as
on the score that the supremacy Of the
law should prevail as on the score that IL
trusts the Government will take the place Of
the mob and do the violence of the mob
As 10 what its trust in that regard may be,
we know nothing and care less but this we
do know, that nothing for many months has
restrained it, from stimulating mob violence
against the Times, Jut The knoioledge that
not many hours Would pass after the perpe-
tration Of such mob violence, iohen not one

A new feature in the application of gas to
domestic purposes is said to be on the point
of introduction here Fire-aies OF gold and
brilants already sparkle upon the graceful
white feathers and fresh sreen leaves that
adorn the brows Of some Of onr youthful
queens Clusters Of diminutive gas-lights are
now to spring from the elaborate iresses Of
beautiful matrons; the Jets will issue from
burners measuring a twentieth of an inch per
hour, within transparent shades exquisitely
cut, not larger than Il cherry The tubing
is to be of solid gold, connected with res
ervoir of the same valuable metal, which isto
lie concealed in the meshes of luxuriant hair
behind the head. The pressure will be ap-
piled to the golden tank, which is supported
/ BY an elaborate baesroomb the top of which
forms row Of little flashlights. Before en-
tering the bali room, the husband will turn

BADLY Cheated.

Never was more fragrant misuse made of
an army, than that by the Republicans when
they called upon the officers in command,
selected by themselves, and holding their po
sitons at the beck and nod of the emancipa-
ton President, to make politics for them.
This attempt to convert the army into an
electioneering machine, through the officers
has walked up the prvates, who are telling
quite another story. Those who went into the
ranks US Republicans have turned Democrats,
and the country papers are filled with letters
from ''the boys, both sorrowful and startling.
They tell the story from the ranks, and it
should make the Republicans quake Had
they any sense worth respecting, they would
stop army politics as soon as possible-pay
the soldier his dues-attend to their families
ut homeland Yesoipe that though they are
mere prioates yet they are men Of American
hearts and family affections. These letters
are absolutely startling - Crisis
