TIE MILToNIAN TABLEAUx.-This exhi-
bition drew another good house at Deering
Hall last evening. 1t really improves on ac-
quaintance, and the more one sees it the bet
ter it appears. They are paintings that will
bear examination; and although the various
scenes embrace the terrible, the sublime, and
the beautiful, yet the artist has succeeded in
producing representations of them which, like
good tragedy, pleases while it wounds" 1t
is decidedly one of the best panoramas ever
unfolded in our city. There will be an exhi-
bition this afternoon at two o'clock, and an
other this evening, at Deering Hall. cd
We advise every one to see this beautiful
exhibition. They will find it an entirely diff
ferent thing from the hosts of dioramas which
are hawked about the country for exhibition,
and which are mere humbuss. There is no
humbug about this, as any Of the clergymen
who were present last evening, will tell you.

A LUGUBRroUs GOVERNOR.

Gov. Bullock, of Massachusetts, has set
apart Thursday, April 9th, as day of fast
ing, humiliation and prayer for the people
r ~
tional trials, and IN contemplation Of those
Ichich remain" Gov. B., being a shining
light and gubernatorial ornament of that
party which alone seems to desire any further
national trials" we take the liberty of sug-
costing sack cloth and ashes, for sins already
committed, as a part of the performances,
and that their prayers shall invoke wisdom
to discern the error of their course, and
charity to turn them from evil thinking, and
desire to Cypress their fellow-countrymen
If bymlraculous interposition such change
should come over the spirit Of Gov. Bull
locks people, there would be fewer days OF
actual humiliation for this nation, and less
occasion for such pharisaical parades as
that be proposes.

SOME delicately-organized and fastidious
people were very fearful that the President
in his speech of the Odd of February, had
committed a gross violation Of Presidential
propriety, and sagely shrugged their Shout
ders and shook their heads. Something
was wrong. 1t was out of all character for
the President to deliver himself after such a
fashion. Even good men who thought the
Observation-Disclosures needed castigation, ex-
pressed fear of bad results.
For the reliefo all such we are glad to
announce that since that cate there has
been a wholesome amendment in Congress
sional manners when speaking of the Presi-
dent, and that various and sundry constitu-
tional amendments have died the death,
while other Radical projects have withered
beneath that uneourtly but emphatic de-
nunciation. The country may congratulate
itself that no harm has been done thus FAR,
and thank fortune that it has in the chair
Of state one who has the courage to speak
plainly, and who, when the necessity arises
is not deferred from doing so by any lack-a-
daisical notions of mere propriety.

DIR REPRESENTATIVES,.


We are pleased to learn, as we do from all
quarters of the county, that our suggestions
last week with regard to the reelection of
DIR. Ordway and Mr.. Bledsoe, meets with
almost universal endorsement. The masses
of the people entertain profound admira-
ton for their manly conduct, and are graft
fed that they are to have the opportunity of
giving them a unanimous approval at the
ballot-box. 1t will be seen by reference to
the proceedings of meeting held here last
Monday, that they have been unanimously
re-nominated by the people of the county.
They will accept of course. And now it
becomes the duty of every lever of eonstitu-
tional liberty in Tennessee-eyery man who
has the privilege of the elective franchise
yet in his hands, to quit everything else on
the 31st inst, and rally to the rescue of their
birthright-their right to self-government--
their right to be freemen, and not vassals to

THE OTHER HrRrsY.


One Of the acutest thinkers Of this country
IA citizen of the Northern States Professor
BRowSsoN) said a year or two since, that
though the doctrine of State secession ils
taught by CALHOUN could not, in his opin-
ion, be maintained, yet he had acknowledge
Of any argument that had then been made in
disproof Of it, that did not involve heresies
against the Constitution as fragrant as seces-
sion itself This philosophical remark has
been receiving verifcation ever since the
commencement of the late war, and the con-
dition Of the nation to-day completely justi-
fes its wisdom. The party, which, calling
to It's aid the sentiment Of attachment to the
unity of the Government, welded the power
Of the Government in preventing the pro-
posed secession of certain members of the
Union, and which, by common admission,
has succeeded in extinguishing the doctrine
of absolute State Sovereignty, finds itself
unable to administer the Government wisely,
Justly and satisfactorily under theories
founded on theextreme converse Of secession
that is consolidation. And this is the true
reason Of the present conflict between Presi-
dent JOHNSON and the leaders Of that party.
The tenets Of that party are in direct contra
vention of the principles of the Constitution,
and no manplaced in the position of ANDREW
JOHNSON who has a sincere attachment
for that instrument and the Government
formed under it, and due regard for his
official oath to support, protect and defend
it, can lend aid or countenance to the Radi-
cal policy now dominant in both Houses of
Congress. The essence of that policy is to
absorb the powers of the Government in the
Federal head--to denude the component
States of the Federal Union of their charac-
terlssies US states III Grie t.,.o o>nsO IS .l-~
word--to claim the right for purely gov
ernmental uses, and objects, to levy without
Limitation upon the energies and resources
of the people-to aggrandize the Govern
nnent at the expense of the reserved rights
Of the States and the people-in word to
assimilate this Republic of limited powers
to governments whose powers are absolute
over every concern of life, general or pri-
vate. The whole tendency of things is in
this direction. The President of the United
States sees it and has set his face against it.
He knows that it is as impossible to admin
lister this Government upon the doctrine of
consolidation as it would be to preserve its
unity under that Of State secession. Charged
with higher and graver responsibilities than
any single individual in the Government, he
has boldly taken his stand against the adyo-
Gates Of this theory, and the people may
rest assured that he will not forfeit his word
when he pledged himself to preserve their
institutions against the assaults Of these

NJ Il
The Chicago Tines says that the tremen-
dous agitation in Canada al the present mo-
ment is one-half political, one-quarter imi-
tation Of Great Britain, and the remainder
real. The anti-annexationists and pro-con-
federationists of the provinces are using the
expiration of the reciprocity treaty and the
Fenian excitement to fire the Canadian
heart against this country, and to weld their
projects for a confederation. To secure this,
the politicians and newspapers that favor the
union of the British provinces are leaving
no stone unturned. The Fenian movement
in the States is exaggerated tremendously,
and the volunteers are called out, and every
body is led to believe that the very exist
ence of the Canadas is threatened by the
United States.
1t would be doing injustice to the faithful
snobbery of our Canadian neighbors five
omitted to state that the present hustle Is
considerably an imitation Of Great Britain
Canada didnot think itselfgreatly in danger

THREE MEN MURDERED.

ing:
On the 10th of February, Charles Heard,
Josiah Foster, and Mr.. Basham, citizens
of Crawford county,. Arkansas, were MUIR
dered about six miles from Johnson's Sta
ton, in Choctaw Nation.
1t appears from what could he ascertained,
that Heard and Basham were killed while
asleep, their skulls being split open with an
axe, in the tent, as they were found lying on
their beds. @
Foster it appears was awakened and at
tempted to make his escape, when he was
knocked down ane killed. The tent was
set fire to and burned down over the bodies
of Heard and Basham.
They had considerable money with them
on their way to Texas, and had two negroes
with them 1t is supposed they were the
perpetrators. They were seen the next day
not far from the place with Mr.. Heard's
buggy, making their way towards Texas.

SOUTHERN men ought TO be guarded in

regard such measure as misfortune. The
state of the country, resulting from a pro-

necessarily such as to require military

Of these fictions is easily detected. Immi-

THE National IntelLtgeHcer makes timely
suggestion to the people of the North, in
view Of the one-sided testimony that the
Jacobin Central Directory" is furnishing
the country in regard to the condition of the
Southern States, and the temper Of their peo-
pie. Its that every one who has an acquain-
lance at the South, shall solicit through pri-
waite correspondence, facts on which to form
opinions of his own. Just and fair-minded
men from the Northern States, who have
visited the South since the close of the war.
cannot be deceived by the bulletins of that
cabal, but there are many there who, having
no other source of information, may receive
their partisan statements as truth, and be
misled into doing great injustice. The
Southern people invite scrutiny when it is
pursued with an honest purpose. They are
as frank in the desire for peace, and in their
compliance with its conditions and require
ments, as they were prompt in accepting
the gage of combat. The STEVENS COM
mittee are merely fostering the interests of a
party. The people are only solicitous for
the good of the country. Let there be a
thorough knowledge of facts, and an inter
change of greetings between the masses, and
