Franklin Sewing Machine.

WYE again call the attention of the public
w to this superior low price Sewing Ma
chine. 1t works equal to any Of the higher
price Machines, and as little liable to get out
of o1acr. Very slight instruction and inge.
nuity are required to understand the few
parts of which it is composed, and their use,
and there is no excuse for getting out OF
order until the parts are fairly worn out
AS a consequence it always works at mo-
ment's notice, though 1t may have laid aside
for months, and never stops unaccountably
or otherwise. The thread is taken direct
from the speols without rewinding or other
preparation. After much wear and washing
the stitching is found to retain all the sound

much admired at first. For sale by

Abolish slavery.

In his recent message to the Legisls-
ture, Governor Cannon, of Delaware,
urges in forcibls language upon that
body the Proprieiy and necessity of
making the State free. After remarks
ing that slavery is the cause and soul
of the rebellion, ana that IT'S immediate
extinction and perpetual prohibition
are necessary to the preservation Of the
country" be shows that the system is
not now a source Of profit in Delaware;
that It's people have all The disadyanta-
ges of sUch a rude system Of labor
without any of its advantages, and that
If it could be Immediately abolished
the value Of property would be much
increased
We recommend the following obser-
Vations Of this Governor TO those Ten.
nessee working men, who still adhere
to or are willing to tolerate the slave
system They viii see that as q meas
ure Of selEdefence they ought to insist
on the extirpation of slavery:
"In community where slaves are
held as property, the white race is al
ways placed under great Disadvantages
Slave labor Is uncompensated, white
labor is compensated When the two
are brought into competition, white la
Dor is crowded out Besides, the result
of slave labor is 10 destroy the dignity
Of labor altogether so that while at
first the effect If 10 make free labor IN
profitable, unremunerative it now be
comes unworthy. If in addition to
this, capital absolutely owns its labor,
the avenues TO honest livelihood
forever closed to the white Thisis the
cause Of much poverty, ignorance and
crime To avoid such a result there is
but one course-that is, 70 make labor
honorable, 10 make intelligence gener-
al, and TO establish a government that
shall protect and advance the interests
and welfare Of the very humblest cit-
zen.
We hope that citizens of Tennessee
will read, and carefully weigh these re
marks of the Governor of Delaware.
They are as applicable to this State,
As to that. We have even more Of the
evils Of the system, demoralized as it
now is, with fewer Of It's advantages,
than the people Of Delaware.
ON the 22l of next month, the ques-
ton as to whether this shall be free
and prosperous commonwealth, or a
disorganized people, will be decided
Are you citizens Of Tennessee, prePRr-
ed to act, on that day, as your best in
terests demand We trust you are;
We trust at least 5000 Of you will vote
for Ratification on that day, and
thus forever rid the State of slavery,
and give to labor lie proper dignity, and
the labsging men their Just position in
society.

Sherman and his thieves and robbers

,aiIuais from whose lips 1 heard il
And it has been reiterated from the

Their will respect be paid to youth, beau.
ty or age. Booty or beauty" the orig
inal war cry with which South Carolina
was threatened, is % be re-echoed upon
her soil.
Unless our people have submitted
themselves to the Yankee taskmasters,

Let the march Of the enemy upon our

tree of liberty must be WRtered by the
blood of its martyrs, and the fair hand

Various speculations are INDUCED in
as 10 Sherman's proposed scheme for
the destruction of South Carolina. The
most popular idea here seems to be
that he viii continue to annoy us with
= considerable force along the line of
coast remaining in our possession be-
tween Savannah and Charleston, while
with heavy column he makes his way
up the Savannah river to Augusta, and
thence q Columbia and Charleston
Others suppose that he will cross at
Sisters Ferry and march for Branch
vile. and thence to Charleston or Co
lumbia, or both. That he intends to
operate in Carolina the present winter
there can be no doubt
The enemy's batteries nightly give
forth their thunders as our trains pass
Coosawhatchie, and their shells fall
thick and fast around the gallant iron
horse as he makes his rapid way; but
he heeds them not With this excep-
ton all remains quiet along our lines.
The army is being recognized and
put in thorough equipment for active
field service
Let our people look up. A brighter
day will yet dawn upon US, if they but
remain true to the cause

REORGANIZATION in tennessee.

Tennessee, says the Louisville Jour
nal, is about to reorganize her civil
government On the 22d Of next
month several propositions, agreed upon

ly assembled at Nashville, viii be pro
scented TO The people for ratification or
rejection The propositions embrace
the repeal of The military league ems
tered into 10y the rebel Governor Harris
and the Confederate States, the renew
al Of the State allegiance TO the Union,
and the emancipation of slavery. These
propositions, We doubt not, will be rat
fed by the loyal people of Tennessee.
Thousands, too, who identified their
feelings with the rebellion and even
contributed TO its Inauguration, seeing
the fatal results Of secession and the
importance of restoring civil authority
upon the ruins occssioned by war, will
vote in the affirmative A candidate
for Governor has been nominated, aud
IN various portions of the State candid
sites for the Legislature are before the
people, who will be elected on the ap-
