lnurderous course towards Union men, wo-

this long letter:

ture, and if they committed any mistake it
was in taking any such men prisoners!

District of Indiana, and late Secretary of the In

health. which however, for some months past ha.
not been very robust. On arriving at the Court
House, he went into his private room to rest few
minutes before opening the Court and while sitting
before the fire was seized with fit of coughing,
which, in some unexplained way ruptured blood
vessel and caused profSe and almost choking flow
of blood. He was alone at the time, but In few
minutes Postmaster Conner entered the room, and
discovering the condition of the Judge, notified
those who could best assist in the matter and had
him moved to the bed in the private office of Mr.
District Attorney Ham. Doctors jameson and
these experienced physicians directed to the
stopping of the flow of blood. They succeeded par

thrown up and the patient fearfully, if not fatally
reduced in strength and vital energy. After the
checking of the hemorrhage, the Judge remained

before dark it considered certain that he could
not live through the night and those unhappy fears
were realized only too soon. As his condition made
it impossible to move him. he died in the Court

Knoxville, Saturday, Jan. %, 1864.
The Streets of Knoxville.

IF the dead mules and horses, mud and
filth with which this town abounds. shall
continue to accumulate, we must have sick
ness to an alarming extent, if even we do
not have Il pestHence. The like never was
seen in any civilized country. Families, in
many cases, are more filthy than the brutes
that stroll about throwing their filth out
into the streets and on the side walks. The
negroes try how filthy and lazy they can be,
and the soldiers, or many of them, seem to
have lost all pride of character, contenting
themselves with I'll the filth about them!
Col RILEY, of the 104th Ohio, we are
pleased to learn, is now in command of this
post, and from his we'll known energy of
character, we hope to hear of his cO-opera-
ting with the Mayor and Aldermen to clean
up the whole town. The citizens expect it,
the interest of soldiers and citizens require
it, and the dictates Of humanity demand
that the town should be cleaned up and
cleaned thoroughly.

about to be published by Mc>srs. Tilton & Co. Bos-

author of "Neghbor lakewood and some of the
most popular contributions of the Atlantic This
story is of Rebel Despoti.m and Union Patriotism
in East Tennessee. The Boston correspondent of
the Springfield Republican" whose criticisms are,
perhaps, reliable as any we have, says:

matte skill and intense interest. few books of
of late wears are equal to it. Somehow or other we
cannot quite make up minds that tales of ad-

those which Cooper relates occurring during
the old French War the Revolution. But it
must be the nearness alone which weakens the en-
chantment. Some Of Trowbridge's descriptions of
border warfare quite equal to the best of Coo
pcr's. His genius is dramatic; and the reader is
carried swiftly, almost brcathlessly along Some of
his characters also exceedingly good. The

white Dcslow, the pro-slavery Unonist who be-
trays his fellows for slaverys sake; the old minis

author and Interesting locality of the story have
been numerous to delay the publication till

Death OF Archbishop Hughes.

John Hughes was the son of farmer,
born in the North of Ireland in the year
1898, and came to this country in 1871
He first learned the art of gardening, devot-
ing his leisure hours to study, and entered
the Theological Seminary at Emmetsburg,
Nd, where he remained several years as a
teacher He was admitted to the priest
| hood at Philadelphia in 1925. In 1880, he
commenced his celebrated discussion with
the Rev. John Breckenridge, on the ques-
ton whether the Protestant religion is the
religion of Christ The Cincinnati Com
mercial says, in 1897 he was appointed CO.
adiutor to Bishop Dubois, of New York,
who was then in feeble health; and on the
death of the latter, in 1888, was made ad-
ministrator of the diocese. He did not sue
coed to the full dignity of bishop until $40,
but during the intervening period exercised
all the prerogatives Of the office. His first
step, in which he triumphed over serious
opposition, was to remove the tenure OF
church property from the hands of lay
trustees. By this means, the heavy debts
on he churches of his diocese were cOnSOl-
idated and eventually paid off, and the pow
er and influence of the bishopric were great
" enhanced. In 1889, the Bishop visited
Europe and collected large sum of money.
Soon after, he founded st. Johns College,
FOrdham, and became involved in the con-
trOversy on the common School question
which has been agitated between Catholics
and PrOteStants ever since. In 1915 he
again visited Europe for the purpose of
bringing over Jesuts, Sisters of Mercy, and
Brothers Of tie Christian Schools. In 1916
he was offered by President Polk, but de-
clined, a special mission to Mexico. In
1850 New York was raised to the dignity
Of an Archiepiscopal See, and Archbishop
Hughes went to Rome to receive the insig-
MIA Of his office from the hands of the Pope
In 1854, the first provincial council of New
York was held and attended by seven suf-
fragan bishops Not long after its close the
Archbishop went to Rome to be present at
the definition of the doctrine Of the Immac-
ulate Conception On his return, a cOntro-
versy arose between him and Erastus Brooks
Of the New York Express growing out of
a bill, which eventually passed the New
York Legislature, vesting the title Of all
church property in trustees. 1t was stated
by Mr.. Brooks, in the course Of the discus
sion, that the Archbishop owned property
in the city of New York to the amount of
$4,000 600. The letters on both sides were
collected by the Archbishop and published
ia volume Beside the ..bovenamed con-
troversics. the well known exchange of let
tiers between the Archbishop and the late
DIR. Murray, of Elizabeth, New Jersey
g. kirwan }, will be remembered by our
readers. The Archbishop was also the au-
thor of number of lectures and pamphlets,
which have been published. His latest APP
pearanee in public-apart from his official
duties-was during the draft riots in New
York in July last, when he addressed the
mob in a concliatory speech.

CIRCULAR No. IS.


CIRCULAR No IS
Under the Presidents Proclamation q way for re-
organizing the State Government is suggested which
it behoovcs all those who have at heart the inter
ests of themselves of the State, and of Republican
institutions accept. The experience of the last
two wears and half has been sufficient to convince
the people of the States in rebellion against the
Federal Government of the fallacy of the doctrines
taught by their corrupt and unprincipled leaders
Their rights have been well nigh destroyed by de-
signing men. who cared more for the advancement
of their ends than they did for the liberties of
the people; and the people of East Tennessee from
having been the freeSt and most Independent of
all the nations Of the earth reduced to q state
of the most abeCt servitude. Their constitutional
rights were ignored and their natural rights tram
pied upon. They resisted while resistance could
avail, and after they disarmed and rem
dered helpless, they still refused to bend the
knee to the oppressor. Tyranny could not subduc
them--dsath itself found them faithful 10 the Gov
eminent of their and their fathers choice. Oftheir
devotion ofreedom all lovers Of constitutional liber
ty will bear willing witness; for the answering
tenacity with which they chung to the flag ~
their country, history presents no equal They have
indeed made to themselves name which will be
as imperishabe their mountains, and of which
they and their childrens children may, and should
be justly proud.
Having such history. your future acts should
be well weighed, that no shade be cast upon the
past for be assured that ages hence, the sacrifices
of East TenneS aeans and their heroic devotion to
freedom will be the theme of many song, and her
sons of this generation will be referred as most
worthy of emulation.
The night which has for So long time made our
beloved East Tennessee a land of mourning and of
sadness Is passing away-the day dawns-and if
our people wise they will in little while be in
full POSSESSION of their ancient righs and liberties
For the purpose of paving the way for that de-
srable end, the people of the several counties in
East Tennessee over which my jurisdiction extends
invited and urged to meet together at such time
and place they may deem best, in order to take
counsel together the best means for re-organ-
ling under the Presidents Proclamation the State
Government. Let the day of meeting be early
as possible. Let candidates who loyal and
worthy be nominated for the county offices, and
may that spirit prevail which will be in keeping
with the former history of East Tennessee. The
people should remember that they the source of
all power and. in their deliberations, it is hoped
they will act in such manner as will rebound not
only to their own, but to the welfare of future gen.
erations.
