The Supreme Court of Tennessee.

The Supreme Court commenced its session IN this
city on Monday, the first since the fall Of 1861 The
court room has been re-tted, and presents better
appearance than it has done for years. and when the
new carpeting arrives it will be complete
The new Judges are Milligan, Shackleford and
Hawkins. They lawyers Of experience and
character, and witha Of uniinching loyalty to both
the State and General Governments. Thus far We
are pleased to have it in power to say that they
have made favorable impression, and promise to
have the cordial cooperation Of the bar
The first day was consumed in laying down the
rules and regulations of the Court, and the order Of
business and in the appointment of permanent
Clerk. Judge -Shackleford announced, on behalf o.
the Court, that for the present the former rule;
would govern the Court-the sessions would open al
o'clock and continue until one. Col. Patterson, O.
the 4th Tennessee infantry, was appointed Clerk
and entered into bonds
The business Of the first circuit was called as The
custom has been, on the second day of the Court
and most of the cases were laid over as the lawyer
were absent many of them having gone South. Al
amusing case was called from the county of Wash
ington, being a suit to esSLaue some negroes. Tha
case will of course be dismissed. We have made ar
engagements TO report the decisions weekly.

Northern Men Among Us.

The Union men of East Tennessee are pleased to
have Northern men-mechanics laborers and pro-
fessional men-come among them, and settle down
permanently, and they rejoice at their coming
preceded they are Union men, on the side of the Fed
eral Government. But for those of them who have
even served in the army, who settle in Tennessee
and take the side Of the rebels electoneer with them
to make friends, and above all to make money at a
sacrifice of principles all true Union men entertain
a contempt as profound and undying rs they do for
the meanest class Of rebels that ever stole OF
their horses or robbed Of their hen-roosts. And
if there be one class Of men in Tennessee to-day,
meaner than another, it is that class Of Northern
rebels, copperheads and adventures from the North
who are in sympathy with the rebels of the South
May God in his mercy put it into the heads of such
cattle to stay away from Tennessee, and especially
from East Tennessee. Let Union men watch them
and scrutinize their deeds and associations.

Future Operations of Lynch Law.

We can readily see that a state of things may
arise in East Tennessee that will be more destruc-
tive to peace and order than anything we have yet
had. We hope that such may not be the case
Lawyers are a class of men who feel bound, when
employed by their clients TO do for them all they
can. Most Of the lawyers of East Tennessee find 1t
necessary, in order to save many of their clients
from ruin, TO inauguTate a new doctrine, which,
however we have no idea the Courts will sustain.
They are taking the ground that the Confederate
Government wasa de fGctO Government-that when
certain rebel officers seized upon the property Of
loyal men, they obeying the orders Of their SUI
periors-that the injured man must so back upon
the commanding General-from him to the Secre-
tary of War-from him to JEFF. Davis-and, finally,
upon a jay bird-loosing his whole claim. The
same course, or worse, is threatened in regard to
suits for damages. The people, who have been
basely plundered and wickedly wronged, have
agreed to 60 into the courts of the country and rely
upon an honest jury of twelve loyal men give them
their rights 1.-THE rebellion, however shall belegaz-
ed by such erroneous decisions or verdcts welook for
a worse state of things than we have yet had. II
we know any people on this green earth, it Is the
loyal element in East Tennessee They will, to a
man. die before they will again submit to oppression
and wrong at the hands of rebels, those who are
in sympathy with them

Cincinnati and Louisville, Look Out

Business men tell US that when the two bridges
are complete in Upper East Tennessee-which will
be soon-goods can be shipped from New York and
Philadelphia to Knoxville via Richmond or
Lynchburg for one dollar less on the one hundred
pounds than our merchants are charged from Louis
VILE and Cincinnati, via Nashville. We do not
doubt the fact for our merchants have been paying
hro prices for all freghts the Nashville line since
the trade has been opened Louisville and Cincin-
natl may look out. And unless they manage TO
bring freights down to what they should be, their
run of trade from East Tennessee is over.
What Is said Of freights viii apply to passengers,
and with more force than the former. Passengers
can now 90 to Washington for several dollars less
from Knoxville by the Virginia route, than they
can by way Of Louisville and save thirtysix hours
in time, which, with business men, is an item. Nay,
it costs less from Dalton Ga this route, than by
way of Nashville, and the time is less by an odds of
twenty-four hours. These facts, of such great mo-
ment with the travelling public, will get out, and
this saving of time especially viii leak out.

Mr. Lincoln on the Negro.

In the great canvass between Stephen A. Doug
las and Abraham Lincoln, i'll Illinois, when the
Senatorship was the prize Douglas made the issue
against Lincoln of negro suffrage Their speeches
we're published in book form, and in the speech of
Mr.. Lincoln delivered at Springfield, his own home,
be used this language:
Judge Douglas has said to you that he has not
been able to get from me answer TO the question
whether l in favor Of negro citizenship. So far
as know, the Judge has never asked me that ques-
ton before. He shall hare occasion TO eUer ask II
again. for tell him frankly that an not IN taror Of
negro citizenship.
Ny opinion is that the States have the power to
make negro citizen under the Constitution OF the
United States if they choose. The bred Scott de-
eision decides That they have not that power. Il the
State Of Illinois had ttat pOtgsr Shod be opposed
to the exercise Of IT,
When the war commenced, Mr.. Lincoln did not
contemplate the emancipation of the slaves, but
step by step the measure was forced upon him and
the country. And as to tie suffrage question, he
held that the regulating of the question Of suagt
belonged to the States exclusively.

Action Of a Christian Church.

We have before us the late proceedings oi the
Boon's Creek Christian Church, in Washington
county. The conclusion of the proceedings speaks
for itself:
Many of us have been forced to leave all that is
near and dear to US in this world-our lands, our
houses our wives and our little ones, and seek re-
fuge beyond the rugged Cumberland Mountains, TO
save ourselves from prison and death. Many, yea!
very many of our Christian mothers have had their
sons torn from their bosonE, it were and forced
to serve against their will in the army wear away
their lives in some prison. Our property has been
taken from us, and many OF our families nave been
left to drag out miserable existence or to escape
for life through the Federal lines TO save themselves
from ruin, rapine and starvation.
We portion of the aggrieved, feel that II Is due
to ourselves well to posterlty, that we ask
all those who have aided or abetted in any way
either directly or indirectly, to bring about this
wicked cause that they come forward to the church
and make such reasonable Acknowledgements as the
nature of the case may require
Having now returned from our exile, many Of US,
we do not come in a spirit of revenge malice or an
ger but as humble members of the body OF Christ
to ask the request above stated II this Is conceded
we feel bound to forgive yea, happy to forgive all
such, and receive them again into sweet fellowship,
to battle together for common cause.-The saliva

/ If we have offended any Of the brethren without
cause we are ready TO ask them forgiveness as we'll

| For the purpose above mentioned we suggest the
| propriety of drafting the names of the members
| anew upon the church record; as many Of the
members have either gone of from the church, or
( have been guilty of offences sufficient to exclude
/ them from the body.
On motion the report of the committee was
adopted.
| Elder Basket made some remarks relative to the
objects of the meeting and to the report of the COM
mittee, which were objected to in part.
On motion all members Of the church willing TO
unite upon the long cherished doctrine Of the Bible
alone and also willing to comply with arrangements
made by the committee, came forward in the pres
ence of the church and enrolled themselves as an
evidence of sincere desire to be forgiven accord
ing to the teachings and spirit of the same.
! On motion, all the members whose names were
! not enrolled upon the new church record and who
are willing to comply with the report of the com
mittee by making proper Acknowledgements at the
next regular meeting, or previous thereto, unleSs
reasonable defence can be made for Withholding the
names, will not be considered members of the Chris
tan Church at Boons Greek, and their names viii
be kept from the record until proper acknowledg
ments are made.
The meeting then adjourned.

WHAT shonId the MethOdIsts Do .

In other Vords the question is the true policy OF
lova Methodists in the South and what is the duty
of the Northern Methodists toward them We have
thousands Of true Union men in the South who can
never be gathered into the folds of Southern Meth
odism. ave wiH not go into that organiza-
ten, and they are awaiting, with anxious prayers
and tears, the coming among them Of the "old
Church." from which, in 1874, they separated SO re-
uctantly 1t is the solemn and religious duty of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to send the gospel the
sacrament and all Church privileges to these noble
| patriots and devoted Methodists Not only SO, but
there are thousands of colored Mehodist made free
by the war who will be treated with Indifference by
the Southern Church, on account of their claiming
their freedom, and going after the "ola Church -
The Lord, in his providence, has cast these people
upon the care of the old organization, and they must
be fed and nurtured with the bread of life, or the
Church must be frowned upon by the Head of the
Church. This is not ALL great emigration sets in
towards these Southern States. Methodists in the
Northwest and from the Northern lakes, are seek
ing homes on the banks of our streams which flow
into the Gulf of Mexico. Many brave soldiers who
fought to put down the rebellion settling down
here for life. Many of them are Methodists, and
others were raised in the faith These are the chill
} dren of the Church, and she cannot and dare moi
} neglect them. The "old Church must occupy the
territory and preach the gospel in all those late re-
voted States, without any regard to the operations
of the "Church South" and for the reason that the
said Church went into the rebellion, and has for
feited all claims TO an observance Of the old "plaI
of separation" The Bishops, Editors, Book Agents
