SOLDIERS RELIEF SoGGETY.-We had the
pleasure on Friday evening, of listening to
the Rev. j. W. Knott, Of the Memphis Con.
ference, who is agent for the Soldiers Relief
Society. After giving q statement Of what
the society had done, and giving his plans
for the turtherance aud improvement of the
Soldiers Home near Memphis, he took up
subscription for the same. We regrat to
learn that he received only the small sum of
thirteen dollars. We saw one person give
five dollars and know there were olherQ pres
ent who were able to give aa much or more.
But we suppose our people think that .char.
ity begins at home, and if we are not watch
full it will STAY at home.
Mr.. Knott appuiEted two young ladies to
act as his agents or assistants in collecting
mouet for his phlanthropic ohjnc. The
yoing ladies' referred to are Miss Emily
iSuccd and Miss t. la Booth, Of this place
We hope they may be more successful in
their commission than was the Rev Mr.
Knott. We are sorry that he could not re.
main longer and Lecture in other churches.

1t is beautiful custom Of the In

hiding their faces from the sun,
weep over them at early dawn and

Throughout the length and breadth
of our land to-day, the graves of our
heroic dead are strewn with flowers,
in memory of tho devoted patriotism
which led them to the field, and laid
them (battling for freedom and
home) in their last resting places.
The widowrin her robes of grief.
the maid betrothed, desolate in the
death of her lover, and the mother,
bowed with the sorrow of a broken
heart, its tendrils all bruised and
bleeding-this day do honor to the
dead who died for them and us
Many u tear will fall upon those
graves, and many weary heart will
ill with an unutterable grief, as it
"Yeanns for the touch of vanished hand,

The following graceful letter has been
written by Queen Victoria to Mr.. Pea
body:
WISDsoR CASTLE, March %, 1866.
The Queen hears that Mr.. Peabody in.
tends shortly to return to America, and
she would be sorry that be should leave
England without being assured by herself
how deeply she appreciates the noble act
Of more than princely munihcence by
which be has sought to relieve the wants
Of the poorer classes of Der subjects resid-
ing in London. il is an act. as the
Queen believes. wholly without parallel,
and which will carry its best reward in
the consciousness of having contributed
so largely TO the assistance Of those who
can little help themselves. The Queen
would not, however. have been satisfied
without giving Mr.. Peabody some public
mark of her sense Of his munificence. and
she you'd gladly have conferred upon
him either a Baronetey. OF the Grand
Cross OF the Order Of the Bath, but that
she understood Mr.. Peabody to feel him
self debarred from accepting such distinc.
tons. Il only remains. therefore. for be
Queen to give Mr.. Peabody this assurance
her personal feelings, which she would
further wish TO mark by asking him to &C
cept miniature portrait Of bersek, which
she will desire TO have painted for him.
and which. when finished. can either be
sent to him 10 America, or given to him
on the return which. she rtj0ices to hear,
he medi,aies to the country which owes
him 50 much.

PLANETS DESTROYED. The belief that
this world is ultimately to be destroyed by
fire, is supported by the discovery that
such fate has befallen far larger planets
than ours. French astronomers assert
that no fewer than fifteen hundred fixed
stars have vanished from the armament
within the last three hundred years.
Tycho Brsha gives an interesting account
of brilliant star of tie largest size,
which, on account Of its singular radiance
had become the special object Of his daily
observation for several months. during
which, the star gradually became paler
until its final disappearance. La Place
states that one Of the vanished fixed stars
of the northern hemisphere afforded in
dubitable evidence of having been con.
sumed by fire. AT first, the star was OF
a dazzling white, next of a glowing red
apd yellow lustre, and finally il became
pale and ash colored. The burning Of
The star lasted sixteen months, when this

The NEGRO PARADISE AT WASHING
ToN'-The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury thus
notices the negro paradise vt Washington
City
The negroes living around the city are
fast degenerating into brutes. They have
lost all shame and decency, and if it were
not for the police, there would be exhibi'
lions in public places which would
shock our very senses. Our Superin-
tendent Of Police invited Senator Morrell,
the other dag, to visit the negro quarters
about the city. The Senator found at
least FIVE thousand negroes living in shan
ties amid pollution and filth and if the
cholera sets in at this point it will be epe~
demic in less than forty eight hours after
fair start. II the Northern people could
only witness these negroes, they would
not wonder at the citizens of Washington
opposing them as equals. They may be
good enough for Thad. Stevens. Blu! they
are not fit 10 associate with clean and gen.
teel dogs. They are worse than dead
ducks.

TROUBLE IN EAST TENNESSEE Through
a private letter we learn that all persons
in Jonesboro, whose sympa'hies were
known to be with the South, during the
late war, have been notified to leave
within ten days after the reception of the
notice. A reign Of terror is said to exist
in that legality. Several have let, while
others are determined to stand their
ground and abide the issue Compare
tive quiet has been restored in that coun-
ty. Washington, and hopes were enter
tanned that tie SCENES OF las autumn aad
winter you'd never be re enacted. But
The late speeches, delivered in that place,
have aroused the same hatred and mob
spirit, that has deprived the county of
some of its best and mos, influential cili.
2ens.
