Hon. Horace kaynard...YOuIlg Mems
Christian Association.

A large and appreeiative audience assembled "a
the Second Presbyterion Church on last Monday
evening, 10 listen 10 the lecture delivered by the
Hon. Horace Maynard (who is fily styled the So
crates Of East Tennessee before the Young Mems
Christian Association.
The address was unique With solid information,
and adorned with chaste and beautiful figures. He
presented life portrature of the Great Author of
Christianity
The vast audience nj times we're held enraptured,
as the speaker presented in splendid contrast, on
one side the magnitude of the Roman Empire the
grandeur of her Institutions and the power of her
rulers the other side The littleness of Christian
itys beginnings-the babe Of Bethlehem, the reject
ed wanderer, the arraigned rebel the scourged and
spit upon the Nazarene, the crucifed. Represent
ed Christ as standing slone-the embodiment Of no
age-the anticipation of none But even as the
babe of the manger-the carpenters son-omnipo-
tence ever sumbered within. As teacher, though
he lived two thousand years ago, he is ten thousand
years ahead BE lifts the veil of moral darkness,
that the hand of sin had hung upon the horizon of
mans past and future, flooding the mountains with
the light and glory of his own blessed system.
While Lord Veruam sent men TO nature for natural
knowledge Socrates babe man look to God for moral
knowledge speaker represented the Great Author
of Christianity coming and dispensing the cloud,
and darkness which were around about nature and
God, marshaling into harmony the wandering stars
that strangely crossed each others paths in the
skies Of truth, opening path beyond the grave, and
lifting the curtain from before the face of the eternal
future.
AT the close OF the address the audience and As
sociation retired, much pleased and bettered and
more appropriate tribute of praise could not have
been paid the speaker than that uttered by stranger
as he passed out Of the house: "The address was
good. l gathered truth from it a child gathers
flowers
The Young Mems Christian Association is I'M
doubtedly success. Already a large membership,
reading room, the nucleus of library, and
hearty welcome to every young man that desires to
unite with them. More anon. J. F. s.

Fair Warning.

Those few reckless men in different counties,
claiming to be Union men, and banding together to
whip inOfensive persons and rob private families
for gain, are subject to indictments by the Grand
Juries of their counties, and ought by all MEANS TO
be presented and punished to the extent of the law
They are worse class Of men than any they are
pretending to correct. They professional there's
aetuated by no prompting of patriotism sense of
wrongs done to them If this class of men calculate
on any protection from the Executive of the State
or any countenanee whatever in the event of their
conviction by jury of the county they are greatly
mistaken, and would do well to reflect before they
proceed further. The Executive will distinguish
between who are resenting injuries done to them
and their families and bands of robbers who seek to
live without work. The laws of the State provide
for the punishment Of these bad characters and the
laws mast and shall be enforced and the officers Of
the law will be protected.

Talking SQUARE Out.

At Union meeting in Rolla, Missouri, Com
mitee Of nine appointed to prepare resolutions
for the adoption of the meeting, and reported the
following, which were unanimously adopted;
ResoLred, That in our opinion it is the duty Of
every good citizen to see that no robbers or bush
whsckers remain in the country and go unpublished
and that all persons who have heretofore harbOred,
or do now harbor bushwhackers or robbers ought to
be brought to speedy justice.
Res0lred, That civil law ought to be enforced, and
that if we find after due trial that bushwhackers and
robbers cannot be brought to justice by civil process
then all good men ought to rise up and exterminate
them.
ResoLced, That we believe further that it would
be better for both the paroed rebels and the country
that they do not return to South Missouri.
ResoEued, That we have full confidence in the mil
itary experience of Col Babcock, and are fully sat-
isied from the statements submitted by him to this
meeting that the acts of killing charged against him
and his men, have been clearly established by him
as acts of military necessity, and not those of muir
der.

Trial Of Jeff, Davis.

The newspapers speak Of the intention Of the
President to order the trial of Davis by civil tr-
bunal, and of having the trial come of at Knox
vile Nothing could be more appropriate as the
first bill Of indictment against him in civil court
was found here, eighteen months ago. Here, too,
and at Chattanooga, Davis made his reasonable
speeches at pc breaking out of the rebellion. The
question comes up, if tried here, what viii be the
result? We answer, that depends upon 'Cho tries
him. Union men can't be found to try him who
have not formed or expressed the opinion that he
ought to hang. Rebels would, therefore, have to
serve as jurors and they would return verdict of
NOT GUILTY, no matter what the proof.

belt TO Gov. Harris.

The following highly interesting letter WAS dis
covered among the archives Fisher the gambling
Cashier, made his escape with 500 OOOin gold. The
Bank of Tennessee, take it all together, great
financial institution and the people will like TO learn
how those patriotic Southern gentlemen, King Har-
ris and King Fisher conducted it. Wegive the let
ter spelIatim:
CHATTANOOGA Tenn, Nov 80, 1862.
DEAR GOyERNoR-DEAR SIR;
According TO promise have had free and frank
conversation with Mr.. Fisher, the result of which
was the following explanation. He said that he had
always been in the habit Of playing occasionally with
gentlemen as O matter of amusement, never betting
but few dollars. That at MurfresborO' he was en-
vited to Col McNairy's room and c0nnle1sSsd play
ing as usual but soon found out that the party was
disposed to bet higher than he was accustomed TO
bet, and after L0Osg good deal less than half the
amount represented to you, he quit, and they had
nothing to do with the assets of the Bank. l went
on to show him the improperly of the least appear
ance of loOseness in the management OF the Bank
under the existing circumstances, whereupon he said
he would refrain hereafter from any thing OF the
SORT and that he was very much obliged to you and
myself for calling his attention to the subject.
His explanation as TO the Tennessee Bank notes
put in circulation is as follows He says that Gen
Forrest had represented TO him that his mother was
so situated that she could not Confederate money
and requested him TO furnish some Tennessee money
for her use that Mr.. Rye, Cashier Of the branch q
Columbia had deposited some Tennessee bank note
to their credit this being all the Tennessee money
at his disposal; that he took the amount after put
ting other money in its place; that upon eIamlna
ton, it was signed by Rye as cashier, and not D.
! Mr.. Dunnington as president. 1t had been regu
arly registered for circulation, and delivered to tn
branch for circulation, and was not signed by hin
at all All Of which upon that point is fully salts
factory. I am pretty well satisfied that there
nothing wrong. I will try and get committee o.
| the last day of December and have thorough eS
animation, if possible. will Just say, by way {
conclusion that have reason to believe that the a
4 sets of the bank are as yet all safe.
