ELOQUENT ExTnAcr.-In speech delivered at
Menphis recently, Hon. L. C. Haynes, formerly
Confederate Senator of Tennessee, used the follow
Jug language in reference 10 the people of the
South andtheir traduecrs::
.T8e u,agnanir,ity and grace with which the
peopls have acquiesced in the issues decided against
then, by the verdict of the sword, only equaled
by thasrsuperhuman .bigh-mindedness and knight
ly chivalry, which, in the hourof battle not only
,exturted admiration from their stern foes, but
made them seem to forget they had ever heard the
name Of death. And it can scarcely now be ez-
pscted by enlightened men that the people Of the
South should suddenly transfer their affections
personally. to these whining, canting, graccless
Goddess ,Chsistless vipers in the human form who
cruel in the name of humanity, nefarieus in the
name of piety, cOwardly in the name of courage
varlike in the name of peace, and disurionists in
the nnmc of the Union, seek to prevent fraternity
mad concord, and to reduce vanquished people to
ssryituds, and to hasten them down into an
sh4ss osruin unequaled in this or any other age
or country; While we give our allegiance and
fidelity TO the Government Of the United Slates we
reserve our scorn ferthese buzzing insects Of the
hour, who, with the yenomous stings of malignant
asps, would goad US to todegradati0n and to death. y

The Festival of St. John the Baptist.
GENERAL OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

The Festival of ST. Johns Day, oath of June, is
always remembered by the fraternity of Free and
Accepted Masons, and in this country is usually
celebrated by suitsble demonstrations of venera-
tion and respect for this eminent patron of the
Order Throughout this and adjoining States we
have remarked the striking fact that this Observ-
ance is more general than for many years past, and
though the oath of June fell upon Sunday this
year, the irregularity of the celebration has not
lcsscned their number or diminished the interest
alwas felt on the occasion. Then, too, this section
of the United States is but slowly recovering its
former material prosperity, and while other socie-
tics and organizations may be deferred from re-
joicing together, that of Masonry sets aside oil
these minor considerations, and with the return of
peace albeit only in name, the annual festivals are
being resumed, and the votarics of the mystic tie
bend in lowly homage to the Supreme Architect for
His goodness and mercy that "endureth forever"

THE CELEBRATION IN ANDERSON.

The preparations forthe observance of ST. Johns
Day in this village were neither imposing OF eab-
crate in their design, but as the appointed time
approached, the joint Committee of Arrangements
ascertaned that there would be general assem-
bagc Of the fraternity throughout the District, and
accordingly set to work that the interest of the oc-
cason might be increased and enlarged. Having
made all needful preparations, the Committee were
gratifed at the large attendance of Masons and
others upon Saturday last, and the hour arrived
for the ceremonies to begin, there was abundant
evidence that the expectations of none were to be
lcssened for want of crowd. The streets and
public square were filed to repletion with citizens,
old and young, and considerable sprinkling of
freedmen, of all ages and both sexes.

that Of robbery. Hereupon, young Drifting
ham fired upon and killed his assailant. He
Immediately reported the fact to the military
authorities, and was released on the testimony
of the companion Of the man whom he bad
killed. He was subsequently, re-arrested,
tried by military court, and thrown into
the penitentiary, on the testimony Of the
identical negro who had previously been ex-
amined, and who, on the trial in dhief, found
it convenient to remember different state of
facts from those be had originally set forth.
Such is a brief history of the case, and we
most earnestly hope that the friends Of this
young gentleman will take immediate steps
to secure, at the hands of Mr. johnson, an
investigation into the merits Of this case, in
order that the unfortunate young victim of
the finding Of an unlawful tribunal may be
restored TO his liberty. ss

A case for Executive Ciemency.

The President has ordered the release of
all persons, except those charged with rape
or murder, who have been consigned to the
Virginia Penitentary by Military Courts We
hail their release from an imprisonment for
which there is no sanction known to Ameri-
can law with satisfaction. The time when
might is to be taken as the measure of right,
we trust is rapidly passing away; and the
"rule of action" contained in respectable
sheep-skin, promises to supersede that which
reposes in the scabbard or is found in General
orders, construed with large discretion by
local commanders I
Among the inmates of the Pententiary,
there is young gentleman, Mr., Brittenham,
who served in the Confederate Navy during
the war, whose case has peculiar claims upon
Executive clemency, although most unfortu-
nately he is excluded by the terms of the
Presidents order from the list of those set
free. Brittenham was imprisoned on the
charge of murder. s..r- ,rra,aArg ~
