cursion, and shan's be back for q few daqs
and that reminds me that have promised t.,
dine tonight with Frank Taylor, Joe Seibv
and the rest of Che follows, so you won't
need to get much for dinner-I shanit Be
here. Andnow just look heref If you aren't
just the strangest woman I ever saw As
well as you know me, and as much as I've
said, if you havn't given me a handkerchief
with faded border You never will learn
to do things right, I'm sure. Give me an
other-quickl I'm IN hurryF
Poor Ethel What was it that caught her
eye as she turned over the articles in the
bureau in her search for more presentablc
handkerchief What was It that lifted her
thoughts for a moment from the trouble and
weariness of her domestic life TO the bright
realms Of sentiment and peaceful bliss in
which long years before she had reYelled ?
Not much. Only little ivory easket, within
which, upon its bed Of satin, still lay the
faded rosebud She looked at It with fearful
eyes and swelling heart, but the crying Of
the baby and the fretful tones of William
put sentiment to fight, and she went back to
the trial of unappreeiated, unloved wife

SENTEN0ED.-Judge Campbell, of Miss,
while holding court at Kosciusko, last week,
had brought before him for trial Samuel W
Winters, white, accused of killing Sam, a
freedman. The witnesses in the case were
all negroes; the charge manslaughter Win
ters was sentenced to twelve months impris-
onment ia the county Jail Judge Campbell,
who is a true and tried southerner, in deliv-
ering his Opinion, said
81 am mercifully inclined towards you,
too, in view Of the grade Of your intellect,
your training, and passionate and impulsive
nature, to say nothing Of your interesting
wife and innocent helpless children, for
whose sake I wish I could feel warranted in
discharging you with the edmonton " to 90
and sin no more But 1pg sentence must
signify the reprobation the law has for crime
Il must guard my judgment against being
carried away by the sympathies of an i'm
pressible heart. Human life, whether Of
the white or black, must be guarded against
the ebullitiOns of passion; an example must
ce set; society must be protected, and the
law yindieated and although you stand con-
victed Of killing a negro, you must be pun
lshed In the same manner as If convicted of
killing white man for the law makes no
distinction IN this respect, and l am but an
administrator Of the law.
Every principle Of justice and humanity,
every consideration of honor and manEness,
alike with motives of policy, combines to re-
quire even handed justice in vindication of
the unfortunate negro against the brutal out
RACES Of the lawless white man. The courts
of the country are solemnly bound to pro-
tect all alike in the enjoyment of life and
liberty, and this can be done only by faith
ful and fearless execution of the law; and
deeply panied as 1 am by the call of duty in
this case, and conscious as am of the diff
ferent views that are entertained by many
who are very dear to me, as friends-I must
obey the dictates of my judgment, and Sc
cure the appreciation of my own conscience.
am convinced, from the evidence in your
ease, that you killed the negro Sam in the
heat of violent passion, suddenly excited,
and that the act, though paIliated by this
circumstance, was unjustifable and unwar-
ranted"

them warmly The State owes debt of
gratitude to the old man which she can never

JUST LIKE HN--Wm. @. BTownlOw, So
called Governor of this State, lately made
speech in Boston. Of course it was for po-
litical effect, and full of misrepresentation.
We make the following extracts:
"The present conspiracy is to overthrow
the State Government; but l have made ar
rangements with a northern Governor who
lives nearer to US than you do, for as many
as 10000 stand Of arms Good p and when
they call a convention to set aside the State
Government, [ viii convene my legislature
my bogus legislature, laughter in ex-
traordinary session, and with our arms, and
our boys in blue, (for we have 80 600 loyal
Federal men IN Tennessee who served in the
army,) the only possible way that they can
route US is to call on Johnson for an army,
under some Copperhead General But Will
depend upon the loyal North to come to our
rescue. Applause and cries Of "good ]
l have received a private letter from a
man of high standing in Tennessee, Judge,
since l left home, advising me not to return
to Tennessee at all He is a friend, and
writes me IN good faith that 1 am IN great
danger of assassination or of being hung.
Well, gentlemen, put the question to yon.
VIII l stay away or return? Many voices,
Go back. Luther was going to certain

not to 90, stay away" said he would

is my reply. viii go, and viii 90 at the
head of the loyal militia of Tennessee. Zap

/ ter imprisoning me three months and ten
/ days in the dead of winter; but God being
/ my helper, they shall never run me off again.
/ ] will swing from lamp-post under the
shadow of the Capitol of Tennessee before
i viii move an inch. Tremendous applause.
1 Our success in Tennessee depends upon one
thing alone, and that is, gentlemen, the re
suit of the elections at the North this fall
! If you carry all these Northern States, as
believe and feel you viii, we VIII silence theil
! batteries, we VIII humble them, and make
them know their places.
We do not believe one word of the cocl
and bull story for which a certain Judg
stands responsible. No one in this State
unless it is the re0erend gentleman himself
is foolish enough to entertain the idea 0
Brownlow's being assassinated, and that IN
dividual, if the truth was IN him, woul
frankly admit that what he said In Bozto
was for the purpose Of creating sympathy /

No longer aIly Excuse for being gagjtkOut Mail
Having recently returned from the South,
I am well aware Of the great inconvenience
to which the Southern people are subjected
on account Of lack Of mail facilities This
is, to very great extent, owing to the oath
with which contractors are required to com
ply, there being but few men at the South
who can take it. Having conferred with the
proper authorities (and obtained their ap
