mp In the Senate to-day to carry out the
provisions of section second of the anti
slavery amendment. IL will meet with

Committee will not pass The radicals
made movement toward avoiding a vote
on y motion TO reconstruct it,.

ize the army. Grant. Sherman. Thomas

was sent for by the committee and that
Thomas was also. Thomas gave his cvi-
dcnco to-day. lie stated that the only
way to preserve the peace in Tennessee is
to admit her representatives. If represrn-
tiItion is denied, peace can not be expected.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT--On last Saturday
evening, an accident occurred to the pas
senger train on the Columbus and Nenia
Railroad, going east, at the Glade Run
Switch, between London and West Jefler-
son, about twenty miles west Of Columbus.
The train was running slowly at the time,
as a freight train was expected to be met
rive. a billet of wood supposed to have
fallen from wagon that had passed at the
road crossing there, was lying on the track,
and was caught by the pilot. 1t was moved
some distance to the frog of the switch,
which it filled up, and threw the engine,
the tender and three ears Off the track.
The engineer, fireman and brakcsnan
were riding on the engine at the time.
The fireman, John knsler whose residence
is unknown, was thrown of, and his lifeless
body was found under two trucks of the
engine. The engineer was cut and slightly
bruised, and the brakesman received some
scratches, but no serious wound. The
damage done TO the engine and cars was
not great and will be easily repaired. The
remains Of the deceased were properly
taken care Of and inquiries are being made
for his relatives, who are supposed to re-
side in the State of New York.

gSy-DR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS
are constantly becoming more aud more
popular. They are acknowledged TO have
no rival in the cure Of such diseases as
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Fever of all
kinds, Jaundice, COstiveness, Pain In the
Stomach, Side, Head, Back, aud Bowels,
Bilious Complaints, Loss of Appetite, Sick
Headache, Scrofula, Scald Head, Rheuma-
tism, Collie, Pleurisy, Pimples and Sores ON
the Skin, Palpitation of the Heart, Lowness
of Spirits, Pain or Weakness of the Breast
Diseases of Spine and Ksdneys, Sore Eyes,
Diarrhea or DysGntery, Cold, etc.
Most of the above-named diseases may be
prevented by taking DIR. Morris VEGE-
TABLE LIVER Pills In season, or when the
liver becomes first derangcd which carry
OIL through the bowles and the sccretiOns
of the skin and kidneys, those poisonous
humors that clog the stomach, bowels, and
skin, and become accumulated in the blood.
There has been as great progress in sci
ence, and especially in that of medicine,
within the past few years, as there has in
the arts. To such perfection have they
brought this science, that the medicinal
DroDerties are condensed aud concentrated
into the resins or salts of the plant which
they extract fromit, and leave the inert or
woody matter. The old mode of extracting
these medicinal properties--by boiling for
Il long time In wator-is found, in most
eases, to render the medicinal qualities
wholly Inert, or even dccOmpOsing them.
DIR. Morris VEGETABLE LIVER Pills are
composed of chemical vegetable extracts,
mostly from plants growing in our own
country some of these plants have direct
action on the liver, others upon the skin,
others on the kidneys, and others upon the
bowels and lungs. IL is by a peculiar
chemical combination of all these eNtr,icts
that these Pills are made, possessing the
most extraordinary efficacy for curing the
abOVe-named diseases.

LIFE lNsURANCE.-.It is known TO many
in this community, that number Of our
former citizens who have been called away
for the support of their bereaved families
by ellecting, while in health, an insurance
upon their lives. The benefits of this ar
rangement can only be estimated by those
who enjoyed them mt a time and under cir
cumstances when they were most needed.
Every right minded man, while in health,
and possessing the ability to labor, regards
it as among his first duties 10 make provi-
sion for the support of his wife and chill
dren, Some labor to make that provision
secure by means of real estate, or bonds, or
stocks all of which require par outlays.
Those who are not so fortunate as to make
such large accumulations of capital resort
to life Insurance. This latter mode requires
but a small outlay annually, and which can
be Rlved with a little economy from the
yearly earnings of the head of the family.
There are tens of thousands of families
that are yearly left in straitcned circum-
stances on the death Of their natural pro-
Portable, would the fathers eXpend in secur-
ing life Insurance Solicy the money
they daily squander for cigars, tobacco,
whisky and beer. But in securing such
policy the purchaser, above all things,
wants 60 be satisfied of the security anil
periadheRcy of the company In which he in
sures. Such is the "/Etna Life Insurance
Company of Hartford, Connecticut. The
purchaser of policy m this company-one
Of the oldest and most reliable in the
co untry-may rest contented that it will
not break down before his death, and that,
after his deceasc his family win be sure TO
get the amount Of his insurance.
The local agent for this city is John II,
Stoppleman, Esq, and the special agent,
w, II. Gillespie, ESD, either of whom will
give all requisite information in regard to
taking out policies of insurance.

An Independent Mind.

Is treasure; it is the capital of char
acter. No man that has it can be poor,
though he wants gold. Without it the
rich apd great and learned, are pitiable OBJ
jects. Many man has made shipweck,
because he had no independent helm, and
SO drifted with the current. A lack of
independence cannot be compensated by
ability. Great genius, swayed by foreign
influences, is often as unreliable as the
leaf in a whirlwind's grasp. The rock of
character to which it should be anchored,
is wanting. We might mention the
names ofmen whose lack of Independence
of character, has lost them to themselves
and the world. A convivial party, or a
political caucus, set them adrift from
their mosrings, if indeed they had any.
A bottle of champagne was their Delphic
oracle. Their principles were like cloth
in the hands of tailor, cut to fit other
backs, They were moral ciphers, that
could be hung on the arm of diggets, and
give them value, without having any of
their own Their sentence might be,
unstable as water, thou shalt not ex.
eel"
The Independent man is be who has
principles of his own, and sense enough
to apply them in practice, Ifhe is thrown
among strangers, he carries his individ,
uality with him. He Is not enc thing ~
the poles and another at the tropics. He
pursues a straight forward course. He
does not lose himself, nor destroy all pro-
gress by zigzag movements. He has .
definite aim and object, from which he
cannot be drawn aside by the truant fam
cies of others, but moves on like . pohle
steamer, against wind and tide, impelled
by power within himself The truly
independent man has principles--not vo-
LATHE but fixed as the work of ages
They are such as he dare avow-- such as
will stand the test of time--such as he
will carry with him through life. Be
meath the surface of things he has diseov-
cred the Interchangeable. Duty 90 him il
word of permanent meaning. Right Is
his defnation of expedient, for he knows
that nothing else is, or can be expedient.
