DR.. BacoS's ADDRESS.

DR.. Bacon commenced with an allusion TO
the views Of the famous DR.. Sam Hopkins
OF early DAYS, on the Millennium. The old
Pastor of Newport predicted that in the
good time coming, not only would there be
no war, no oppression. no waste from intem-
perance and vice; bat that the progress Of
knowledge and skill would add intellectually
to the productiveness of Industry. Hus-
bandry and the Mechanic arts would be
greatly advanced; the lost arts would be re.
covered and new ones added the valley
would be filed and the hills made low for
the ease of travellers. He arrived at these
conclusions from no induction of obvious
facts. We can hardly realize how slow had
been the application Of knowledge to practical

/ Mr.. HoughtOn made a few remarks regard
iug the work which they had been respee-
lively requested 20 undertake, and on mo-
tion Of Mr.. ByingIoa, Committee was or
dered to be appointed to aid Prof. Benedict
in that work. Prot. Buckhem, Rev. f. II.
Byington and Rev. J b. Perry, were ap-
pointed such committee.
Prof. Buckham brought before the meet
ing, the subject Of some plan Of giving more
rrcmineree TO the celebration Of the Alum

/ ton was not an amendment of tie Constitu-
I zion. In accordance with general request,
tie Constitution WAS y,ad for the InloIma-
tion OF those present. There appeared to be
some things lacking 10 the Constitution. and

"A conscientious M. C.

Congressman Hubbard, of West Vir-
ginia, has sent to the conscience fund of the
Treasury the extra 1850 which Congress
voted itself, saying that he voted for the
increased pay because he could not other
wise vote the bounty to soldiers.
The indianapolis Herald says that
Mr.. NIBLACK and other Democratic
Congressman from this State, voted
the extra $500 pay to themselves, as
they could not otherwise vote the
bounty to the soldiers. Has any body
heard of Messrs. NIBLACK, KERR &
Co. refusing the money they received,
as has Congressman HUBBARD of
West Virginia? We reckon not.
Does any body suppose that Mr.. NIB
LACK, a leading Director in the Sinis-
sippi Insurance Company, will refund?
We guess not. Why, his schooling
as Director in that Company, which
seems to have reduced the obtaining
of money from the people to science,

Soldiers bounty.

We publish on the second page a
late circular from the Adjutant Gene
raj Of Indiana on the subject Of the
bounty lately granted by Congress,
and other items on the subject which
should be read by soldiers and agents.
By the way, we have been asked by
soldiers how much it would cost to
procure their bounty, and the fear
has been expressed that it is likely to
take large portion of it to pay the
claim agents. This should not, and
we trust will not be the case. We be-
ieve there are agents in this city and
in the other counties, who will pro-
cure the allowance at a reasonable
rate. The regulations of the Depart
ment are necessarily, somewhat COM
plicated, and it may be necessary to
have the assistance of professional
men. But we advise the soldiers not
to submit to extortion. IF claim
agents are unreasonable, go to those
who are not. IF they cannot be
found, we think way may be con-
trived whereby the bounty can be
procured at a fair percentage.

Simply Infamous.

! Hon. d. p. WILSON, Speaker of the
Colorado House of Representatives,
was recently in Indianapolis. While
there he made statements with regard
to the Presidents veto of the bill ad-
hitting Colorado as state which, if
true, brands the President with a
meanness and infamy that we never
himagined, as little confidence as we
have had in, him. Mr.. NILSSON says
the President at first manifested great
anxiety that Colorado should be ad-
mitted, and told its Senators, DIR.
EVANS and Mr.. CHAFFEE, that he
was only restrained from incorporat-
ing a recommendation in his last an
nual message for their admission for
fear, as he confidently stated to those
gentlemen, that it would injure them
with the id Radicals. He thought
at that time that they were I" all right. 2
subsequently, Congress having ascer-
tanned that they were all right y
from the Congressional stand point, a
bill was passed for their admission.
The President suspecting from the
unanimity of feeling in their favor
among the Radicals - that all
was not right, sent for the wait
ing Senators and tolG them if they
would sign paper indorsing my
policy he would at once sign
the bill. They refused. and straight
way Mr.. JOHNSON sent in his veto
message. So it seems that the draw
back of an insuficiency of popu-
lation, on which the veto message was
predicated, was not discovered or con-
sidered as an objection by Mr.. JOHN
SON until he learned that the admis-
sion of Colorado would increase the
Union strength in the National Con-
gress. ttre gqu Sos
We venture that the records of the
country may be searched in vain for
such an example of baseness on the
part of the Chief Executive as mani
tested above. 1t seems impossible
that a man so honored should prove
so utterly unworthy of his position.
/ It is the strongest evidence possible
that the office can never elevate the
man, but that the man may greatly
degrade the Office.

honor and profit, and we know of no
body more worthy than our country

We shall never forget that Lincoln

Memphis and the Mechanics.

The Memphis Post, the only really
loyal paper published in that city,
mentions the great scarcity OF me-
ehanics there, and states that agents
have been sent North to procure
Skilled laborers in the different
trades to supply the pressing want.
The Post gives some very good reasons
why Northern mechanics should come
to Memphis; the high prices of labor
and the certainty of steady employ
ment, healthiness Of the climate, and
reasonabIeness of living. But there
is one point upon which Northern
mechanics and Northern men of all
classes want more light and informa-
ton. They have heard something of
the lawlessness and mob spirit
of that city, but as these may
be dangerous chiefly to the ainevi-
table African and the school
marms, they are not much alarmed
about that. But they have also read
the publications of the rebel press of
Memphis, denouncing Northern men
in that city and holding them up
! to the scorn and persecution of
the native Southrons, and de-
nouncing all who give them patronage
or support And they have many of
them read the speech lately delivered
in public meeting with so much ap-
plause, by Judge DUNLAP, declaiming
against the Radicals from the North
amongst them, who were not of them,
but belonging to another con,try; and
they remember how the Judge pro-
posed toaget rid of them by with
drawai Of patronage and business, and
driving them away by starvation.
The misfortune is that hundreds of
thousands of the intelligent mechan-
les Of the North and West are afiict-
ed with the rabies so fright
full to the chivalrous Southron,
known as Radicalism, and it would
make very little difference to
them how high wages were, how
cheap was living, how healthy it was,
if the Judges policy of business star
walton was to be applied. Wages
would be indeed low if they obtained
no employment, living would truly be
high if they had not the means to buy
food, and the locality would be very
unhealthy if the mechanics from the
North were to be denounced and driv-
en- from society, simply for opinions
sake.
The Post is engaged in the good
work Of attempting to convince the.
people of Memphis of their felly in
this matter, and how clearly it is con-
trary to their interests and the prin-
ciples of free Government. And
until they follow its advise, they need
not expect to be overburdened with
Northern mechanics
