POWELL Va. FOWELL.-fOWoll, OF Ken
lucky, is the worst secessionist in the Sen
favor Of human slavery and also the free
dom Of speech and the press! He defended
q system which denies all freedom Of
speech. and annihilates all kinds of liberty
except that to do wrong, and which inten-
tionally degrades and imbrutes human
nature. In the heighth Of his defamation,
he exclaimed: "Before God, shall advise
to the degradation of having free speech, .
free press, and free ballot taken from them,
to strike the usurpers to the ground!'
Senator Harlan, Of Iowa, interrupted
him in the midst Of his bewailing the loss
OF free speech, and quietly read from the
record Of the first session Of the Thirty
sixth Congress that, upon his proposition
to allow freedom Of speech and Of the press
on the question Of slavery and all other
subjects-a right expressly guaranteed by
the Constitution-Mr. Powell voted nay.
To this crushing citation the slave-monger
suffered and stammered out some miser-
able gibberish about the necessity of cho-
king free speech in slave States. lest the co.s
ored people might grow restive and dis
contented with their degraded condition.
Harlan called his attention to the absurd
ity and wickedness Of continuing an insti-
tuition which is too dangerous to dis
cuss, and the. existence Of which
requires the suppression Of free speech,
free press and free ballot. Powell, in at
tempting to meet this point, suffered and
stammered, and twisted and sQuirmed
worse than before. As cotemporary re-
marks: "Mr. Powelrs speech was only an
expiring gasp Of the hydra in whose folds
our liberties have been suff0cated for thir-
ty years." But we all owe Mr.. Harlan the
heartiest thanks for hts neat extinguisher.

TnE RArN.-We have been visited with glorious
rain. 1t has "showered down upon the hills and
plain with copiousness that should satisfy the
most anxious wisher. The parched earth with its
opening surface has drank from the fal ing rain till
its thirst has been fully quenched. and every par
tice fully saturated No more cloud after cloud Of
dust darkens the air. Terra rma has d0nned a
new appearance, and is fast completing her robe OF
green. Farmers are delighted at the favorable
prospect of volunteer and the rapid speering up Of
grass on which TO shbsiSt the poor and starving
stock. Grain land is now prepared for the plow in
good season-aud miners with an abundance of
water to cultivate the >uce. Both interests, far
ming and mining, are benefited beyond calculation
An immense body Of water has fallen the several
days of the storm much probably in the same
period that daring the last great fFeShet Feath
er river rose rapidly till in many places its banks
were overiown, and the ferry boats prevented
from crossing. 1t soon receded-but little damage
done. The heavy gales of wind played "pranks
twisted off flag poles, upset sign boards and
tested the strength of old awnings ana board fen
ces. The rain was welcomed by all.

CHEROKEE FLAT.-The miners in this extensive
and rich mining section, who have for the past two
years remained almost idle for the want Of rain.
are now reaping rich reward. In many Instances
capital TO the amount OF from thirty 10 afty thou
sand dollars has been invested in runningi tunnels
and patting in condition for working the different
claims, and have yielded little or nothing until
within the last ten days. The rains have
changed the monetonous scene. Some twelve by
draalic claims are now being worked, using from
one to six hundred inches Of wster-and the owEers
receiving from two TO six hundred dollars per day
to the claim. Cherokee district Is rich in gold.
Should the rains cease at present there win be saf-
fcieut water for two weeks TO come, 10 supply the
miners in this district.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETY ORG ANIzED AT LEONARD :
MuL.-A Temperance society was organized at
Leonards Mill, in this county, on Monday last,
with 10 members. by the Rev. B. W. Taylor. On
Thursday night they had a public installation of
the officers elect, and initiated FIVE new members.
Rev Taylor writes as follows This organization
has strengthened. and think, viii conSummate
another very important enterprise, which has been
long talked of ia this community. From the health
fulness Of the location and the amount of excellent
land that can be brought into cultivation, the large
amount of excellent lumber that can be had at any
time at low figures, the number OF children now in
the district, and many other considerations have
eliminated in the enterprise Of an Academy to be
located in the vicinity of Le0nard's mill. com
mittee appointed by the Lodge met the Trustees Of
the School, and determined to build a good house
and open a school, under competent board of In
struc.ors. the first Monday in March next. This
will afford good opportunity for those who wish a
cottage heme in the mountains during the sickly
season, to school their chldrea.'

THE FAKRELLY HOMICIDE CASE AGAIN.-t i
WITH the greatest reluctance that we refer to this
unfortunate and disagreeable case again. 1t has
always been our course to publish nothing about
any criminal case that would prejadice the public
mind ard prevent fair and impartial trial. This
was our course when the Gassaways were arrested
last summer, and look at the beneficial result :;
-Four of these men were tried in this county, and
good and impartial jury easily obtained in each
case Had we acted otherwise, the case would have
had to been sent to some other, at an expense Of
several thousand dollars to this county This was
the course We pursued when the killing Of Farrely
took place. But some of the friends of Farrelly
(perhans to make political capital out of the mat
teri thought best to pursue different course. The
day after the killing. and when there was great
conflict of opinion to who did the killing, some
person in this town wrote letter to the Marysyie
Express, stating positively that Mr. Givens was the
person who killed Mr.. Farrelly. A Corcners Jury
a majority of whom were the political opponents
of Givens and friends of Farrelly in session
for nine days, and failed to fasten guilt on any one
After this, Mr. GiYens had an examination before
the County Judge, ". s. Stafford, when nothing was
left undone to fasten guilt on Mr.. Giyens, and he
was again honorably acquitted. But TINS docs not
satisfy the bloodthrstness Of certain parties in this
town. In the MarYsyille Express of the 30th ult.
appears what purports TO lie the evidence
taken at said examination, while in fact the party
who published the same, selected such part as suit
ed their purpose and left out half of the most
material part of the evidence. The evidence of
over ten of the most respectable citizens of this
county is entirely left Now ask the authors
OF this act to say if this is fair No Grand Jury has
been in session in this county since the killing OF
Mr. Farrclly and we have the authority Of District
Attorney Rosenbaum for saying that ii is his intcn
tion to submit the matter TO the first Grand Jury
in session. Is it then fair for them to attempt to
forestall public opinion in such serious matters:
The first communication to the Express was doubt
less written for political purposes and considering
that it was on the of important election and
knowing what means the '.Democlacy vii resoit
to, to gain few votes, may excuse it oa that
ground. But what can he the object of the last
pubcation-uness il be to create further difficulty
we are at a loss to understand
