On the Sunday when the news ar.
rived of the fall of Sumter, a gentle.
man of our acquaintance, in whom
we place perfect confidence, took the
cars at Washington to GO to Rich
mond. Upon the train were A. ii
Stuart, William Ballard Preston and
another member of the committee
which the Virginia Legislature had
sent up to Washington to confer with
the Government, or more properly
speaking, to see what manner of man
the new President was, and to spy
out the land. At one of the stations
beyond Alexandria. quite O crowd
had collected, and eager demands
were made for the news as the train
came In. Mr.. Stuart and Mr.. Preston
stepped upon the platform of the cal
to answer the inquiries. Our inform
ant noticed one well dressed gentle
man, who seemed to be the spokes
man and chief person of the crowd
He was fourishing up and down the
platform with more or less conse
quence, and as the train stopped, cried
out. Whats the news ?"
Sumter has fallen" was the reply
I'll raise an army and march on
Washington" exclaimed the excited
individual, swinging his cain and
walking uneasily about. "Ill com.
mence tomorrow morning. he re.
peated, land raise an army and take
Washington. Hadn't l better do it,
Mr.. Preston Z"
1t was some time before Preston
answered-so long that our friend
thought he would make no reply
when he said, slowly and oracuIarly,
"True courage waits on delibera
tion." . No. FL
"Was there any bloodshed ." ask.
ed the excited man. ..s......s.
mo" f... w.. 10
Wasn't there 2" looking down
and speaking as if surprised. As the
train moved off he was heard to re.
peat, II shall raise an army and
march Oh Washington" 80. Il
When the train was under way our
friend asked, "Who is that enthusiasts
tic MANI" .-
THAT is Col. Lee" said Mr.. Pres
ton. r
And that is the man who has since
been commander of the rebel force,
and who is represented as having
very reluctantly, and only after days
of prayer, drawn his sword against tho
Government that educated and pro-
noted him. Aud it must be remem.
bered that this occurrence took place
before Virginia had passed it's bogus
ordinance Of secession, aud five days
before Lees resignation. Lee did
raise force Of about three thousand
men and marched them to Harper's
Ferry to procure arms. The inten-
tion was to march into Maryland,
which it was supposed would rise at
once and 60 out Of the Union, carry
ing with it the national capital, which
the rebels would at once occupy, and
proclaim themselves the Government
of the United States. 1t is evident
that they did not intend to go off and
put themselves in the attitude of reb-
els, but that their plan was to take
the capital and Government machine
ry, and then let the North "rebel if
it didn't like the arrangement.-Hart,
ford Press.

great advantage in having this kind
of teeth-they never ache.

Crisis in Tennessee,

The recently RECONSTRUCTED State
Of Tennessee is just now passing
through a political crisis-really the
first since the Inauguration Of the
new order of things, and it serves as
a test, the result of which the coun.
try at large will watch with interest.
The occasion of the present political
excitement in that State, is the pend
ing canvass for members of congress,
which is being prosecuted with great
spirit in the several districts. Some
of the candidates and their supporters,
of the secesh style, are denouncing
the new elective franchise law, which
prohibits any participation in the rebel.
lion from voting. The law is q sore
thorn in the sides of the secessionists
who expected to come back to Ten.
nessee and resume political power.
Per contra, Governor Brownlow has
issued proclamation declaring that
the franchise act is the supreme law
of the State. He denounces all who
resist its execution as rebels, and d.
reefs the arrest of all persons who,
under pretense of being candidates
for Congress, are advising the people
to nullify the Constitution. and are
stirring UP sedition. Brownlow is an
energetic man, aud if the rebels BAT
flo him, they will be exceedingly
lucky. President Johnson has sen,
word to Governor Brownlow to en-
force the Laws, and call for military
aid, if necessary. .# 80
The scotchcd rebels Of Tennessee
might as well give up this contest frs
as last, for they will be badly beaten
in the end. The traitors in the reb
ell States must take the hindmos,
seats in the political synagogues un'
til they have fully repented of thei
folly and wickcdness. Meanwhile, the
more loyal among them must be thei
rulers, as they are their betters.
