PERsoNAL-Thc "uifkindest cut of ALL"
at the Opera last night, was that
made by the inimitable comedian, Davies,
at one of our local railroads. We fear he
has never travelled "muchly." If he had,
he would be convinced that the aforesaid
road is one of the .Jdstest sort. The gentle
manly and efficient superintendent of the
same being present, the alluson was re-
garded as decidedly personal. We trust no
serious or fatal consequences will follow.
We think the best way to heal the breach,
will be to exchange passes.

A Story of the Rebellion,

Last Friday night the colored girl
named Mamie, who has long fingered
and languished, at the house ofMr. Nor
timer Hubert, in this town, departed to
anothher world. There is a touching
story connected with the life-history Of
this girl, exemplyfying the truth of that
scripture which says, "Cast thy bread
upon the waters, and it shall return to
thee after many days" Mamie lived
with her mother, near Jackson Missis-
sippi. Both were slaves, and as black
rs the pots of kedar." When Grant
marched his forces In the direction of
their home, to complete his lines of cir
cumvallation about Vicksburg, the rcb-
els retreated with precipitation. The
columns passed the cabin Of the slave
women. First the men were all clad
in homespun and gray, but soon there
was a strange mingling of bright blue
among the other uniforms. These men
were unarmed, footsore and wound
ed. They were Yankee prisoners
being driven along after the advance, as
80 many sheep. All day long, the fly
ing battalions of the rebel host, swarmcd
past the door, Infantry, Cavalry, Artil-
lery. But there was no kindling of
pride in the hearts Of these slaves, who
watched the army Of oppression rushing
past. The poor prisoners drew forth
from them many a homcIy but honest
ejaculation, many prayer for pity.
At sunset the last wretched looking
straggIer had been driven on by the reb.
rear guard, and the old quiet has settled
down among the resinous pines. Nan
ME goes forth to peer around, and pick
up what has been Abandoned. Near the
roadside in Shiny ditch, she discovered
to her horror, couple ofsoldiers, in the
beloved blue uniform, daubed with
blood and mud, and look ghastly as
that of death upon their pale parted
lips. Overcoming the natural African
fear of death within her, she approached
and found them 10th inanimate, but liv-

Remarkable History Of q Torpedo
Boat.


Gen. Maury's report OF the defense Of
Mobile narrates the eventful history Of .
torpedo boat as follows:
It was built of Boiler iron, was about
IS feet long, and was manned by a crew
of nine men, eight of whom worked the
propeller by hand. The ninth steered
the boat and managed her movements
below the surface Of the water. She
could be submerged at pleasure to any
desired depth, or could be propelled up
on the surface. In smooth, still water
her movements were exactly controlled,
and her speed about four knots. It was
intended that she should approach any
vessel lying at anchor, under her keel,
and drag a floating torpedo, which would
explode on striking the bottom or side OF
the ship attacked.
She could remain submerged more
than half an hour without
to the crew.
Soon after her arrival at Charleston
Lieut.. Payne, of the Confederate navy,
with eight others, volunteered to attack
the Federal fleet with her. While pre-
pairing for the expedition, the swell Of a
passing steamer caused the boat to sink
suddenly, and all hands except Lieut..
Payne who at that moment was stand
ing in the open hatchway, perished.-
She was soon raised and again made
ready for service. Lieut.. Payne again
volunteered to command her. While
lying near Fort Sumter she was capsized
and again sunk in deep water, drowning
all her hands except her commander and
two others.
Being again raised and prepared fol
action, Mr.. Huntley, one of the con-
structors, made an experimental cruise

The Tennessee Franchise Law.
The suffrage law recently enacted by
the Tennessee Legislature, after long
and determined contest in which the
radicals were wholly victorious, disfnn-
chisss all citisens who voluntarily bore
arms in the rebellion against the Union;
all who voluntarily accepted civil or
military offices under the rebel govern
ment, or under any rebel State govern
nlent, and who voluntarily supported or
aided any authority or pretended authO-
nty in hostility to the United Ststss.---
These prohibitions arc complete in their
application except rs to six specified
classes, who can vote notwithstanding
the prohibitions, These classes are:
!. First Class. All who voted In No
venabcr, 1894, os at tl.c slcction for ratifi-
cation on the oai Of February, 1866, or at
the March election, 1865. This class enl-
braces at least 5000. .....e ........
Second Class. All persons who have
been honorably discharged from the
Federal army. This class will number
25,OO0 more.
Third Class. All loyal persons in East
Tennessee, living within the rebel lines
at the time Of the November election,
1864, or of the February and March cleo
tons In 1865, and conld not vote for that
reason. This class numbers not less
than 10000. ... .,s
Fourth Class. Loyal men In West
Tennessee not allowed to vote by the
rebels. This class will number, say
5000. +.--..... ......,
Fifth Glass. Non-combattants and

Sixth Class. All appointecs Of Gov.
Johnson aud Gov. Brownlow, say 1000.
1t il estimated that under this law co.
coo of the III, 900 heretofore voters of the
State will now he entitled to vote.
ANDREW JOHNSON The question is
continually asked, "How came Andy
johnson to backslide from the Republi-
can party?" The answer Is easy; he
was never converted. He never Mt heart
believed in its principles. He never
hated slavery. He never desired It's
eradication. He never looked upon Il
rs a hateful, odious, anti-democratic in
stitution. He never was Jcfitrsonian
Democrat. He was always prosla very
Southern Democrat. When In early
life he scratched together few hundred
dollars, he went straight away and
bought "niggor," and when he got Il
little more money he bought another
nigger, and continued to invest his
spare funds In more slaves. Hc boasts
now that he never sold slave. The
reason Is he never had a. many Us he
wanted. He opposed the issuing of the
Emancipation Proclamation, and sue
cessfully employed his influence with
President Lincoln to have Tennessee
excepted from its operation. But John
son hated the rebel leaders, who, in
turn, despised him. He also believed
that slavery was safer In the Union than
out Of it, aud hence had double motive
for adhering to the Union and opposing
the rebels. But he preserved no anti
slavery substratum to his character.

We are informed that soldiers in this vicinity
are daily receiving circulars from foreign bounty
or claim agents, assuring them that the bill equal
izng bcunties has become law, but this j. untrue.
Ii has passed the lower House but not the Senate
/: will, however, we think. without fail. as there
are but few Coppcrheads in either House, become
law before the adjournment Of Congress, un-
less Johnson vetoes it as he may if the Copper
heads obtain sufficient influence over him 10 induce
him TO do 60.
The object Of those foreign claim agents who
are thus dcceiving and lying to the soldiers, is to
obtain possession of their discharges, by asserting
that the bill has become a law. Our advice to all
soldiers is to keep their discharges until the bill
passes the Senate. and then employ local attorneys
in whom they have confidence, to attend to their
business. When the bill passes VIC will announce
the fact as soon after possible.

vention takes no notice Of these things. and we
must say, if the omission intentional, il shows
that the wretches who opposed every effort of the

ing to sense Of their terrible guilt. What have
they to do with the glory and honors achieved by
men whom they persistently declared were waging
q wicked warfare against people whom they
likened to the Revolutionary Fathersl Perhaps
they re member the insu lting epithets which they
hurled at the backs Of our advancing hosts, and
that they refused 10 give "anOther man or another
dollar" carry the war. Coppcrhead "cheek''
is hard enough for almost any thing. but We will
have TO wait until the coniederates Of Mlligan and
Bowlcs have departed the political stage before
ths. party will recognize the debt OF gratitude
which country owes to the soldiers
! The last resolution is indirect admission that
they expect 10 be defeated this fall. ln the at.
tempt they make to play the brag and bluff game
they overdo the thing and thus make manif, st to
all experienced politicians, especially those who
Il
have made Coppcrhead tactics study, that they
are already shaking in their boots and expect to be
beaten, unless they by such means in fuse con-
fidence into their confused and distracted ranks
If they expect to frightened the Republican hosts
by such shallow articles they will find themselves
mistaken and ambushei when too late even to fall
back in good order. There is not one of them
that will bet getting hundred majority, unles:
for the effect Of the thing. and then with the Ger
tainty of losing. Perhaps, if they are again al
lowed to stuff the ballot boxes in the ont townships
they may succeed in making this "the banner

they will find that game effectualy blocked. 1,
