Treason AYoWed.

The Evansville Courier of Friday last
contains the following paragraph, which
means great deal, and 10 worthy the
attention of the Union men of this part
of the State: - n i1
Bin MAGNAEIMoUsl-We appeal to the
Democracy of the Nation, The Adminaa-
trGti0R party, to be magnanimous to a
fallen foe. Although outrages, heaped
mountain high, have been committed
against the persons, property, and liher-
ty of the people, still we beg them to
treat the fallen foe with compassion and
magnanimity. We hope they will not
insist on having that Julian gallows a
mile long" filled with the dangling
bodies OF men who were ready to build il
week or two ago for those who are now
the victorsl Be magnanimons to these
deluded Disunionists-be magnanimousl
The Julian gallows mile long re-
fera to speech made by Major Robin
son in the Union County Convention.
His remark was, that he would like to
see gallowa mile long, on which
should hang such traitors as JEFF. Davis,
his Cabinet, Gen. Lee, and others who
were instrumental in starving our brave
boys to death On Belle Isle, at Ander-
sonville, Salisbury, and other points.
So it seems, according to the Courier,
that these men are the victors.
Not only 50, but salthough outrages
heaped mountain high have been com
mittedagainst the persons, property, and
liberty Of the people, " il begs jeff Davis
y Co.-with the confident familiarity of
an old friend--now that whey are the
victors, to be magnanimousl
The magnanimity of these traitors,
whom the Courier Endorses so cordially,
Was manifested in the starvation sof
10000 noble Union soldiers. That, no
doubt, 10 the magnanimity the Courier
desires exercised towards all the Union
men who sustained the Government in
its struggle with rebellion. II .-f4ftts ~

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says a strange appearance
has been seen by many of the most in
telligent citizens of Kentucky, in the
vicinity Of Frankfort and Lexington,
which they believe can be no other than
the devil himself.

appearance, of the devil in aoroprta per

cure it, and, therefore, each feeling fAe
more interest in il. Il
These was great satisfaction and lot
visible on the faces of gil the delegates
when it was announced that the CON-
mittee on Resolutions hal presented
unanimous report 1t was well known
that every shade Of opinion in the Com
vention was represented on the Com
.mittee, and, it was correctly concluded,
that IL the Comnittee could harmonize
on a report, the Convention could read
lily accept and adopt it.
But few, however, were prepared for
the outburst of enthusiasm that greeted
the reading Of the report. The storm
Of cheers that went up from all parts of
the numerous crowd was positively cleo
trifying. Judge Kilgore and Captain.
Moreau endeavored in vain TO amend
the report by substitute resolutions more
emphatically endorsing the President.
With all their ability, these gentlemen
were as impotent as feathers in @ whirl-
wind. Capt. Wilson tried to get in q
verbal amendment with equally poor
success. The resolutions were adopted
with but three or four dissenting voices
in the entire assemblage OF four thou.
sand people. When the result was an
nounced, the vast crowd rose to its feet,
and cheer after cheer went up, like the
sound of many waters, shaking the old
tabernacle in every joint and timber
Gloriously satisfied with their days
work, The Convention adjourned sine die,
and the delegates dispersed to congrat-
ulase themselves on their magnificent
success.
There was another peculiar feature
that we had almost forgotten. Candi-
dates for the. different offices were hardly
thought Of, much less talked about.
There was no electioneering whatever.
Strangers would not have realized that
nominating candidates was one of the
duties Of the Convention, mp to the very
moment of the announcement that the
next thing IN order waa the nomination
Of candidates for. the various State Off
ces to be filled Ut the next election.
Principle was everything, and men COM
paratively nothing with the Union Con-
vention.of February I'D, 1866.
An attempt was made 70 get up lit
tie secession, but the gentleman himself,
no doubt, felt ashamed of it immediate
ly after it was made and proved such o
farcical failure. A second attempt was
made in the evening to organize an in-
dignation meeting, but everybody was
too well pleased with the proceedings of
the Convention to be entertained by a
side-show with such small pretensions.
Iq conclusion, we say that if the same
spirit animates the Union patty through
out the State that characterised the de-
liberations Of the State Convention, q
glorious triumph awaits the party in the
fall elections. ss~a

The account taken from one of the Lynchburg
papers, stating the lease Of Mr. Goodwin S land
on Tye River in Nelson county to d Baltimore
company for the purpose Of working the Kaolin
is an error. That be made lease may be true,
bat as the writer was informed by respectable
citizen of that county, it was to an adventurer
as is now believed by his neighbors The >ame
Individual who pretended to have made the
lease, fingered several days in the neighborhood
Of Greenfield, and created the impression there
that he was an impostor Or monomaniac To
any one who may have travelled from Rockfsh
Gap via Greenfield, Jonesboro and thence by
the old road known as the Waugh's Ferry road
through the caneb!akes IN the upper end OF
Amherst to James River, and seen the acres Of
Kaolin earth on his entire route, he would feel
extreme surpri at Mr. Goodwin OF any enc
leasing 10 acres for $4,000 for such manufac-
ture. It appears to be nearly as abundant as
red clay, 1t has been said that the manufa;-
tuners Of ware near to Waynesboro had some of
the earth from Mr.. Goodwin brought over and
tested, and it was found whittier than that u ed,
but wanted consistence AND two short to work
by Itself. but the two kinds mixed was an i'm
provement. lis unfortunate such exaggerated
statements as that referred to should find their
way into the papers, as they do injury and pre-
vent sales or leases OF property in neighbor-
hood for mineral purpose, because Of the I'M
reasonable expectations of parties who may have
such property to dispose of. On the farms of
Messrs Campbell and Whitehead just west of
Mr.. Goodwin, there appears to be Kaoln e.

Nothing can be more painful to the feelings of

nor manly to desert now, country which they
would have died to defend. With many, the

TFOr the Spectator. !

Mr.. EDITOR you allow me space enough
to remind the farmers of the county that the
meeting which assembled in Churchville on the
18th February, adjourned to meet again on
Thursday, the 29th of the present month, at the
same place. This meeting the farmers Of the
county are earnestly requested to attend as
questions of importance to theirspeciai interests
will be considered :Tes
Owing to the excessive inclemency ofthe day,
the meeting of the 18th ult. was not large, but
it was highly interesting and cheering in the
spirit which animated those present; and was
important not only as the first meeting of farm
ers for many years to consider their peculiar in
terests, but also in It's recommendations.
There never was a time in the history of our
State when combined and associated efforts were
more essential to the interests of agriculture
than the present. Our political ard domestic
Institutions have been turned topsy-turvy, but
amid all the oyertuning and uphpaving the
farmer is still left the bottom rail- in the civil
structure his burdens undiminished while his
means of meeting them are lessened! Let us
therefore meet on the 29th, and see if we cannot
devise something to advance our special inte-
rests or ct least to relieve Us OF some CT the
weights (which so easily beset' us
With the hope therefore that no farmer will
do himself and his interests the injustice of with
holding his presence from the contemplated
meeting, ] will occupy no more of your space

John Maupin, who has had his name in the

arrested short time since in Albemare county,

giving the civil officers of the law another chance
to exercise their detective powers in bringing
the scamp to justice The Chrenlcle says their
'jail is a perfect farce" Wat Coles, (colored)
