When the king of day
Withdraws his golden ray,
The fair evening sky
Delights my moistened eye.
Strange yearnings stir then my breast
For her, in yon realm of rest.
When from the eastern hight,
Bright gems Hume the night
With sparkling, trembling light
My soul swells then with bliss
As if, from the unknown land,
Bess'd mother to me would send,
With every star, a kiss.

THE FEDERAL COURT At KNOX
VILE.

The Federal Court is now in session at
Knoxville, Judge c. f. TRIGG presiding.
We have no information as to whether the
case of Messrs. Mccain, Kahn and Roddy
will be called for trial. Gen. J. G. Ramsey,
now resident of this city, is in attendance
upon the court to answer TO an Indictment
for crimes against the Government. Being
threatened with personal violence by one
Andrew Knott, his attorney brought the fact
to the attention Of the court. Judge Trigg
ordered an attachment to Issue to bring Knott
before the court. Knott avowed, in answer,
that he had no intention to commit any vio-
lence upon Gen. Ramsey while in posses
sion of the court; but frankly stated, in eff
feet, that his relations towards him were
such, that when the public tribunals were
through with the case, he would carry him
through case of individual settlement
Judge TRIGG was not satisfied that this de-
claration was strictly on peace basis, and
required Mr.. Knott to enter into bonds Of
$4,000 to keep the peace for the space Of
twelve months toward all the citizens Of the
United States, and particularly Gen. RAM
sew. In this connection the Judge stated
that revenge was no part of justice, and that
so far as his power extended, the law, ac-
cording to the Presidents proclamations,
should be enforced at all hazards. A noble
sentiment uttered by an upright Judge

JUDGE HENRY COOPER.

One of the best Judges in Tennessee isnow
holding the Circuit Court at Columbia The
Herald speaks justly of him as follows:
His Honor Henry Cooper has been hold
ing the Circuit Court at this place, during
the past three weeks. During that time he
has discharged an immense amount of bust
ness. We have been familiar, TO some eX-
tent, with the bench of Tennessee for the
past dozen wears or more, and we venture TO
assert that no more efficient or competent
man has graced the ermine, during that
time, in this State. Prompt, positive, clear
and decided in all of his decisions, he at
once commands the respect of the bar and
the Jury, while his courteous manner and
digniied department render all official in
terco6rse with him pleasant and agreeable.
We heard with regret short time ago, that
Judge {. had resigned, and we were pleased
when we learned that he had consented to
withdraw his resignation. We know that it
is at a pecuniary sacrifice that this position
Is held, and moreover, to a man Of Judge
Cooper's capacity and standing there is no
honor Of place in the position. Therefore,
we feel that we and all other law-abiding
citizens, owe debt Of gratitude to Judge
Cooper, for making the sacrifice in the in
terest of the country, that he is doing. There
was never greater need for the best ability
ofthe bar on the bench, and when such
ability is there, il should by all means be
induced TO remain.

..MR. DAVIS EARLY LOVE TROUBES."

A statement is going the rounds Of the
press. in which il is stated that Mr.. DAVIS,
while Lieutenant stationed on the Western
frontier. married the daughter of his then
Colonel, Ex-Prcsident TAYLOR, against the
consent Of her parents, and that he "rana-
way" with her for this purpose, from the
military post at which they were stationed.
4 gentleman at Frankfort Ky, furnishes
the Cincinnati Enquire, the following true
statement Of the facts:
In your very valuable paper Of yesterday,
the writer notices an article headed "Jeiler-
son Davis Early Love Troubles" which is
totally untrue, and he can not imagine
where Won have gotten your information.
Mr.. Davis marriage was not runaway
match and at the time Of his marriage his
wife was Of age, and married with the con-
sent Of her parents. They were married at
the residence of the eldest sister Of General
T. TAYLOR. living near Louisville, Ken
lucky, where Mr.. Davis had been for sew
eral months ON a visit, with the knowledge
and consent Of her parents, and the writer
was at the wedding.
81 hope this will put an end 10 the nu.
merous silly stories about General DAVIS

NAsHVEII.E AND CINCINNATI RAIL
ROAD.

The Tennessee Legislature, among the acts
of the last week of its session, revived the
charter of the Nashville and Cincinnati
Railroad Company, and pledged the faith
and credit of the State to the enterprise, at
the usual amount per mile fixed by the In
ternal Improvement Code Of 1882, viz
$4,000.
The following is the section Of the law Of
most importance:
n, Il enacted bvt ne General AggrlHLly al ths STATE
1f Tennessee That the charter OF the Nashville
and Cincinnati Railroad Company enacted by the
General Assembly at its session of lS'l-2. a. re
corded ia Chapter 1913 Of the acts 81 that session.
is hereby revived, with the privilege of building
said road 10 such distance as may be deemed ex-
pedient by said company on the south SIDE OF the
Cumberland river; and the said Nashville ana
Cincinnati Railroad Company and the tennessee
and Pacific Railroad Company are hereby author
lied and empowered 10 unite upon common
track. either single or double, as may Zoe deemed
cNpcdicnt by said companies. and 20 such as
lance eastward or northoastward of Nashville as
the said companies in their discretion may agree
upon. But IN the of any such union OF the
said roads upon common track as nefoln Rt2
MOI extended in full 10 each of the roads for the
distance they may run upon a common track, but
only To the amount Of threc-tourths thereof to
each road: and for such distance as the said roads
may be ran upon separate and.dl7unct tracks, the
said State aid shall be extended ia full as provided
by law.
The remaining sections extend the puvl-
leges and provisions Of the charter to the
county of Wilson and all other counties in
this State through which the road may pass.
In this connection wemay mention the fact
that a meeting Of the Commissioners Of the
Tennessee and Pacific Railroad Company
was held in this city on last Saturday. Jno
Kirkman, Esq, was called to the,chair and
Coils. Stone and Paramore made Secreta-
ries.
Mr.. Kirkman was subsequently made
President Of the Board, J. w. Paramore,
Secretary, and Joseph w. Allen, Treasurer.
Committees on bylaws and business were
appointed, and committee also TO report
names Of agents and solicitors of subscriP-
tons of stock.
The gentlemen who have engaged in
this enterprise seem to have taken the sub
iect in hand vigorously, and as the proposed
road contemplates the direct union by rail
of the four cities Of Memphis, jackson,
Nashville and Knoxville, we have no doubt
they will succeed in interesting a large num-
Der Of influential and energetic men along
the entire route The charter with the State
aid proyiso was granted at the recent session
of the Legislature.

WE met in the city yesterday planter
from the prairie region of North Mississippi,
who informed us that he was cultivating
about two-thirds of his usual cotton crop
before the war lie has planted about
twenty acres to the hand. From extensive
observation, he estimates that the cotton
crop Of the present season will he from one
million TO a million and quarter hales-it
will not fall below the one nor exceed the
other. The Jackson Clarion has an editorial
calculation, which places IT at about one
million and half We have seen no cstl-
mate made by experienced cotton planters,
that places the crop above the latter figure,
with facts 10 sustain it,

tAS every one is anxious TO know what
the party in power want done with Jefferson
Davis, we give the following as the senti-
ment Of the Cincinnati Commercial, paper
that tries to go between the extremes Of its
party:
There is no great eagerness for the hang
ing of Jefferson Davis The best public
opinion is that he ought to have been per-
mitted to run away, or killed on the spot
when captured, and that he should now be
set ashore upon the continent of Africa, and
allowed his freedom there upon condition
that he gives his parole never TO show his
face in America"
