TELEGRAPHIC CONGRATULATIONS EPISCO-
PAL CoNVENTION-MALICE OF \ COPPER
HEAD BISHOP-A CHURCH EXPELLED FOR
HAVING \ LOYAL PASTOR.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA
The National Telegraph Union adjourned sine
die Yesterday afternoon. Before adjourning, they
passed resolutions discountenancing the employ
ment of female telegraphic operators, and also de-
claring that any member who entered Commercial
College for the purpose of teaching the art OF tee-
graphing should be expelled.
The act of the Protestant Episcopal Diocesan
Convention now in session here, in expelling Grace
Church. Galesburg, from the Diocese, is exciting
much comment. The whole thing Is regarded as a
hgh-handed outrage, instigated and carried through
by the unchristian malevolence of Bishop White
house. This prelate is copperhead of the snakiest
kind. You will recollect that Rev. DR.. Cracroft,
he enforced the duty of the people to stand by the
Government in its efforts to put down the rebellion
This excited the burning hate Of the Bishop, and
he has labored day and night to expel the parish
from the diocese. Unfortunately he found ready
tools to accomplish his purpose by forcing through
snap Judgment before half Of the delegates had ar
rived. The end is not yet. The question will come

Killing and Fighting.

Since our last paper went to press, Thomas u.
Wilson, of Scott county, Va, was murdered and
robbed on Cumberland street, in this city. Mr. Will
son had Just been mustered out of the 9th Tennessee
Cavalry, and paid $500. He was murdered some
time during the night. No clue to the murderer
As he was intoxicated during the afternoon, and a
dissipated man, it is supposed he was drunk when
killed.
Baxter Whitson, of Jefferson county, was cudgeled
on Thursday in the store of J. W. Patterson & Co..
on Gay street We did not learn the cause of the
difficulty
William Vestal, citizen of Knoxville was drunk,
and swearing he had fought three years against the
id Yankees and was ready to fight that much
longer in the same cause A loyal citizen who heard
this brought the grafton to close by knocking
Vestal down with a rock.
On Friday night Pleasant Williams (colored) WAS
knocked down and roughly handled by cOlored
soldier at party. The soldier and Mr.. Williams
were paying attention to the same lady. The SOL
diers only excuse for the assault and battery was
that no id citizen niger should be in his way"
We invite the attention of the public TO the ad-
vertscment in our paper Of the firm of j. II. Fes-
sender y Co. This store is opposite the Lamar
House. on the corner of Gay and Cumberland streets
They keep on hand an extensive and varied assort-
ment of dry goods, hats, boots and shoes, queens
ware, hardware tnware, groceries, confectionaries,
and other articles too numerous to mention.
From morning until night this store is literally
crowded with customers, and for the reason that
they sell goods on reasonable terms, and Of good
quality The members of the firm are loyal emf
grants from the North, who have settled here per-
manortly One of them, H. l.. Barnes was formerly
Provost Marshal Of Knoxville, and served during
the war with honor as Major Of the lst Ohio Heavy
Artillery. The Major has given evidence Of his
purpose to settle permanently in East Tennessee by
selecting East Tennessee lady as his partner in
life We desire to see all truly loyal men from the
North encouraged to settle among us.
