EEH Our readers will remember how tri-
umphant the editor Of the Jefersonian was
in his contest, with our Senior, for the palm
of superior ugliness. The same .Ieferso,aan
editor is now-the Mr. FAX of whom the
Senior Of the Louisville Journal speaks-in
his late, issue claims to have found a man
uglier than himself Our readers will re-
member that it was a holly contested strug-
gle, between AJAX" and our Senior, as to
who was the ugiiest, for period longer than
the rebellion, until mere chance decided
it undisputably in favor Of "FAx." AS some
of our readers may not know of this con-
test or remember the accident, that decided
the rivalry in FAx's favor we here state it,.
Fax had gone out in the country to see his
wife, who was then at her mothers farm.
A stranger to him, coming here to see him
on some business, was directed to him at his
country residence. Going at once thither,
he passed by sn orchard on the place, in
which FAX happend to DO, at the time Of his
riding by, gathering apples. He rode on,
dismounted, went in, and found no one at
rome but FANs wife. His enquiry as to
where he was, was answered by shes out
on the farm, somewhere" and he was sent
for. Beginning a conversation with the
lady, in the interim, and bethinking him
of nothing better to begin talk, he said,
~ see you find it necessary to keep scare
crow in yoar orchard, 7 suppose, to frighten
of the birds?" Seeing that she looked
puzzled he said. 'Corne, madam, to the
window, can see the object am speaking
of now" being seated by the window at the
time, she at once looked out and exclaimed,
LA me, why that's my hasbandp The
story goes that he replied, hardly knowing
what be said, an go out and see him." and
mounting his horse, did not stop until he
reached town. After this our Senior could
not with any plausibilty, keep up his rival
claims to superior 'scarecrowness" We
all remember how insufferably proud FAX
became of his hideodsness after this surren
der Of SO formidable an opponent. And
hence we were amazed that he should fore.
swear his cherished ambition, and desire Il
be thought better looking than any othel
person. Surely the Senior Of the Journa
must possess a horror of feathers that has
not entered into the heart Of man to con
ceive, to induce FAX to give up the only
brilliant palm he ever won-that of tran
scending all known human attachments
or even possibilities, Of horrifc physiognomy
We remember hearing Fax say once that h
would yield his championship Of ugliness t.
no one but the father of deformity himself
He has either been recreant to this high re
solve, or else thinks the Senior of th,
Journal Is the devil himself. Which is II

We have received Z Communication from
the First Lieutenant Of company A. nth
colored regiment, stationed at Clarksville,
Tenn, In reference 10 statement that ap-
peared In the Journal Of the 18th ult. This
officer manifests such an unffiendly spirit
towards the citizens Of Clarksville that we
cannot publish his letter. We will say,
however, that the gentleman who wrote the
letter of the l2th furnished us with his name
and added: 1.-THE outrage which this COM
munication describes was much worse than
90 short an account could properly depict"
He also referred US TO . respectable gentle.
man Of this city, who would testify to the
perfect reliability Of the writer, aud we pub
lished the letter, believing that we were
doing an act Of justice TO the citizens of
Clarksville.
The above extract, from the Louisville
Journal refers to letter II published few
days ago, In regard to the arrest Of Police
man woodrum, by the negro soldiers. We
omitted any mention of this affair, because
we understood remonstrance about II had
been forwarded to General Thomas. Besides
we did not wish to add to the excitement
of the community, by words Of indignant
protest unavailing as they would have like
ly been, for any other purpose. Besides,
we gracefully acknowledge tive feel at
liberty to protest against most anything else,
except 1.-THE military" We have been Sc
verely admonished that we can discuss every
thing else, but that the soldier, especially If
he is ''shadowed by :he FURNISHED livery of
Africas sun" Is "touch me not" Inas-
much, however, as this affair has been pub
lished, we win say that the letter to the
Journal, Of which the Lieutenant complains,
agrees In Its statements with all we have
heard told by those who were Witnesses
The writer forgot to add one thing perhaps,
that though the arrest was made, without
orders yet It was directly afterwards, sane
toned by the Lieutenant who met his men
with their prisoner. We also understand,
that the two, who demonstrated with this
officer, met with the reception described
In the letter, ''only more 60" II they do
so state it no one in this community, will
for moment doubt the truth Of the state
ment. So far Is we have been informed,
the outrage as described in the letter differs
from the general accounts of the same in
giving very feeble picture, Of an affair
that made some Of our people weep bitter
tears of humiliation and abasement
tears as the Lion Of the fable might have
shed, when the ass insulted his dying ago.
mics with kick. All of this community can
appreciate the spirit that prompted the in
dignant expressions in the letter of which
the officer complains, and yet we do not ex-
pect ITO kick against the pricks," or to pro-
test, except in words only, against any ar
bitrary and oppressive use of military rule.
We submit to all such acts in that faith in
God, that bids us be assured the North will,
at last cease to govern us, as conquered
people, and come to trlst US as brothers,
upon whose affection they can RELY, and not
as slaves, against whose dagger, they must
ever watch.
