THE BACHELORS BRIDAL.

AN ORIGINAL PARODY ON ''rnE BURIAL OF SIR
JOHN MOORE"
Not laugh was heard or joyous note,
As friend to the bridal we hurled,
Not wit discharged his farewell shot
AT the bachelor just TO be married.
We married him quickly, to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning,
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps dim
light
To think he was no more Discerning.
TO think that bachelor, free and bright,
And shy of the girls as we found him,
Should hers by the altar, at the dead of night,
BE caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though we heartily ate of the cakes,
Then escorted him home from that scene Of
dread,
And thought how awfly he shakes.
We thought as we followed his lowly bed,
OF the be .ch, the birch, the willow,
How the shovel and bromstick would break
DER his head,
And the tears he would shed on his pillow.
Says he, 'hey will talk of their friend who
has gone,
And every old "Bach" will! upbraid me,
And nothing I'll reck if they'll let me sleep on,
Meath the coveret just as they've laid me-"
But half Of our heavy task was done,
Ere the clock tollcd the hour for the other,
And we left, with the hope that the fate he
had won,
Would never be won by another.
Slowly and sadly we marched down
From the top Of The uppcrmost story,
And we nev. II have heard from, or seen the
poor man,
When we left not abne IN his glcry.

THE FLAG RECEPTION ON THE 18th
.OF'JTLY.

'OC JULl.
The PENNSYLVANIA Central Railroad
Company, with its usual patriotism, has
offered the gratuilous use of Its cars for
the transportation, in July next, of the
gallant soldiers who, during the late
war, by actual detail, bore the colors of
their regiments, or acted as their guard,
while they were on the field OF battle -
Such of these brave men as may be able
are requested to assemble in Harrisburg
on the lst Of July, and transportation
thither will be afforded them upon ap
plication to the members of the Military
Committee representing the district in
which they reside. The members Of
tina Committee on Transportation should
secure correct lists OF all the surviving
color bearers and color-guards, and send
them to General NEGLEY, at Pittsburg,
on or before the 29th Of the present
month, so that 10 difficulty or delay
will be experienced in procuring the
tickets. General NEGLEY can be ad-
dressed at Pittsburg, or General TYN-
DALE at Philadelphia, in reference to
matters connected with this part OF the
proceeding, on the coming Fourth OF
July.
Every member of the committee ap-
pointed to act in concert with the Gov-
ernor evinces desire to make the recep-
tion Of the flags an occurrence worthy of
our glorious Commonwealth, and the
occasion bids fair to be one, the brilliancy
of which will surpass any other display
ever witnessed in Pennsylvania or in
the Union.

FAST DAY SER MON,
FROM THE LOYAL GEORGIAN
Preached April 5, 1866.
BY JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE,

The services were intro luced by sel>
lection from Scripture, especially from
the second chapter Of Daniel, contain.
ing the description of the image in Ne>
buchadnezzar's dream, with head OF
gold, arms of silver, thighs of brass. legs
oil iron and feet half iron and half clay,
which was destroyed by the stone cut
from the mountain without hands
Matt 81: 44-"Whosoever shall fall
on this stcne shall be broken but on
whomsoever it shall tall it shall grind
him to powder" ~
The stone here spoken of is the jus.
tice of God Those who ignorantly
oppose it, are like the man who falls on
a mill stone, and is necessarily injured.
Those who wiltully and knowingly re-
sist Justice are like him who should be
put between the stones, and be ground
10 atoms.
The image in this place reminds us Of
that saying Of the East, "rhe Mills Of
God grind slowly, but they grind very
fine." oHth
We have had numerous illustrations
of the truth Of these sayings in the last
few years. We have seen persons ig-
norantly and in good faith, opposing
themselves to the the judgement Of God;
honest conservatives-well.m ll.meaning, but
timid men, who feared reform lest it

sTHE GREAT PRIVILEGE OF PAR
LAMENT"

We considered, yesterday, the Parliamen-
tary rules, both in the United States Con
gress and the Tennessee Legislature, con-
corning the compulsory attendance Of absent
members-provingc ouclusively that in the
absence Of law" the late action OF the
BRowNLow oIigarchy had acted, in the ar
rest Of members, in violation Of the Constltu-
ton and without authority of law. By this
standard, the Legislature, ofcouTse, is placed
in the attitude Of usurpation. In this argu-
ment we anticipated the attorneys Of the
Legislature, Messrs. WIsENER, HARRISON
and NOAH. In one statement, however,
those gentlemen come in direct conflict with
our statement, in which they say:
The House has been authorized by law to com
Del the attendance Of absent members, for the pro
vision Of the Constitution in relation thereIO III
article 2 section II, Is formally enacted into law
as will be BY reference 70 section l4o, chapIel
2 article Of the Code Of Tennessee.
On the contrary, We stated that there ma
been no claw" enacted authorizing the late
proceedings arresting absent members. IL
settle the question these gentlemen refer tc
section TAG, chapter 2, article J, of tbs Cod'
Of the State.
Now, the truth is that there is nothing il
that section that was not in the Constitution
twenty years before. Ii is a mere recital, a
the beginning Of Title in the Code, Of tb'
constitutional provisions applicable to tn
laws which were to follow. This is all
the Claw" contained in section l46, chapte
2, article l." Whether it was formally en-
acted" or not is Of no consequence, since NJ
statutary enactment can possibly give great
er force TO the Constitution, nor detrac
from its provisions. Any enactment Of tn
provisions Of the Constitution by the Legi:
ture can neither add to nor take away fror
it: and the reference is without force or e
feet. 1t is simply ridiculous. We use di
ferent words from what would probably b
used by an honest Court, but we are sure "
best express the true opinion OF every fan
minded Judicial officer of the State

rHE CHoLERA IN NEW YORK.

From the n. Y. Tribune, 3D.
A decided increase in the number Of chol-
era cases has been reported in the past few
DAYS: bat the proportion Of deaths by cholera
10 the entire mortality of the week is COM
parativelv small. Dysentery has thus far
been a more terrible scourge, and has killed
its hundreds where cholera has slain its tens.
But this fact. while il should teach that the
evils We despise are often greater than those
we fear. indicates how vast the ravages OF
cholera may become unless II Is controlled
by disiniectants.
The Board of Health are acting upon the
recommendation of the best hygienic author
tiles i'm the world in their efforts 20 control
peculiar poison that maniiests itself in the
disease known a. cholera; and they urge
he people to rely only upon continual and
thorough cleansing and disinteetion as the
best means Of protection. All putrescent
and fermeuting matter, and particularly all
recepiacles for chOleraic discharges, are
treated by powerful antiseptics and disin-
fectants. Sulphatc Of iron Is regarded as
the most important; picnic acid and prepa-
rations Of coal tar, with constant cleanliness
and ventilation, are also recommended as
necessary means Of protection. Every filthy
place about every house should be the sub
iect Of unremiiting care, and Ties chemical
agents should be freely used a. long a. dan
Ger continues. Acting upon THIS principle,
they disinfect every house in which cholera
occurs. and they earnestly request al citi-
Eens TO adopt the same measures upon their
own premises. While the Board are 81
tending 70 the oyercrowded and filthy cial-
rheal districts Of the Fourth, Sixth, Twelfth
and Seventeenth Wards and doing their
work among the poor and ignorant they
rely upon the wealthy 10 attend IN the same
manner 10 their stores and dwellings, and 20
destroy al putrid gases thai may arise about
premises under their oentrol.

PROM EAST TENNESSEE.

Captain WALKER, who was sent some
time since TO the upper counties Of East
Tennessee by General FISK, to inquire into
and report upon the wants and necessities of
the destitute and those who required govern
ment aid, reports that the present issuanc e
of rations is the last demand that will be
made. He says that the wheat crop is about
two-thirds Of the general yield; the corn
crop, if not injured by the dry weather,
would exceed that Of any former year by at
least one-third. At present there is con-
siderable drouth prevailing. The freedmen
are represented as working admirably, and
in no instance have the civil authorities
failed to respect their rights as guaranteed
by the laws Of the country. They seem to
be generally satisfied and striving to meet
the new responsibilities that they have in
Cured by the results Of the late revolution.
The iIl-feeling engendered by the war be-
tween the two political elements existing in
the country is fast dying out. He says that
he found the people all disposed to be con-
tent with the "new order Of things" in all
the counties he visited, With the exception Of
thesextreme eastern portion of Sullivan,
about Bristol.
We are inclined to the opinion that Capt
WALKER has been influenced by other
means than by observation in censuring the
people of that portion Of East Tennessee
The bad conduct of an outlaw does not re-
feet the spirit of the people and their feel
ings towards the government. There is al
ways a class of individuals in every commu-
nifty ready to misrepresent the true state Of
affairs, and we must confess that we cannot
think otherwise than that false reports have

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
FO EIGN N f w S.
The War Still in Progress.
PRUssIANS CONTINUE VICTORIOUS.

New York, July 25.-Since the sailing
of the Scotia nothing has transpired con-
corning the negotiations between NAPOLEON
and the contending powers.
Several French papers have received gov
eminent warnings for publishing false war
news.
A sanguinary conflict took place on the
l4th, between the Prussians and Federals,
near Archefenburg. The former were en-
tirely successful, the town was full Of flames
and the Federals were retreating.
The Prussians were marching on Frank
fort. which town had been evacuated by the
Federal troops
The Diet had been removed to Augusten-
burg, where the foreign representatives were
expected to assemble.
The head-guns of the Prussian army, I'M
der the King, have been advanced to Bruni-
gan, which place was reported TO be in pos
session Of the Prussians.
CALpTSA had occupied Padua and vi
cepsea. towns on the line Of railroad 70 Vi
emma. Austrians in Venetia, except those
in Venice, thus far had no railway commu-
nication with Vienna, 30 that unless CAL
DINA be dislodged. tine Austrians cannot rem
der aid in the pending battle with the Prus-
SLAMS. The Times Of the 10Th says, what
ever forces the Austrian Government may
have succeeded in gathering around Vienna,
il is still doubtful whether ii will itself be
equal to the task Of withstaRding the Prus-
SLAMS who, according to all calculations
should assemble before Vienna tomorrow or
the day after.
If anything was needed TO render the Aus
trian people hopeless, it was the tidings Of
the irreparable disaster at Aschetfendberg,
which must have reached Vienna by adepu-
tation from the Vienna municipality, en-
eountering the Emperor's pleasure in regard
70 the defenoes Of Vienna
The Emperor at once removed the Peo-
pies apprehensions by aPswering that Vi

added that he would limit operations 70 the

VIRGINIA ON THE PHILADELPHIA
CONVENTION.

The three Executive Committees of the
BELL. BRECKINRIDGE and DOUGLAS parties
of 1860. met in Richmond a few days ago
to secure representation in the Philadelphia
Convention in August. In doing so they
gave expression to the following sentiment
WHEREAS, The President Of the United
States and his friends and supporters IN the
North, have manifested a desire to restore
the union of the States, according to the
principles of the Constitution; to appease
the implacable feeling between the Northern
and Southern States, which the Radical lie
publican party are now encouraging, and to
promote the happiness of the people by a
recurrence in the administration Of public
affairs TO the Constitution, as the controlling
and fundamental law Of the land;
Resolved, That this meeting, composed OF
portions Of the said committees, in the name
and on behalf of the people Of Virginia,
whose opinions and feelings they feel sure
that they represent, do declare that they
heartily sympathize with the law-abiding
citizens ofthe Northern States, in the OBJ
iects Of the proposed Convention, assuring
them of their anxious disposition to coop
crate with them in restoring real peace, IN
bringing back the Government, in practice,
TO its settled principles and usages under the
Constitution, and assuring to all the bless
ings of equal, free and republican govern
ment.

TTITE PRESIDENT ON THE ADMISSION
OF TENNESSEE.

The message Of the President approving
the resolution Of Congress admitting the
Representatives Of Tennessee TO their seats,
from which they have been uuustly ex-
cluded for the past eight months, will be
read with interest throughout the South. 1t
contains an epitome Of the principles which
must govern in a restoration Of the Union,
which must strike the country with great
force. Il shows that, but for the revolution
ary course Of Congress, the issues now pend
ing would have no existence, and the
Southern States would, sometime since, have
occupied their places in the Union, march
ING side by side with their lately alienated
sisters in the career Of political and social
unity and prosperity.
Ii will be seen that ANDREW JOHNSON

and unconditional recognition ofthe rights
of all the States in the Union, and the exer

ellis and government Of the country. H'
meets overwhelmingly the action OF Con
grcss thwarting this consummation, and adj
ministers a mild but powerful rebuke TO th'
Jaeobins who have thus far prevented TIM
most desirable end.
