THE PEACE PROCLAMATION IN WEST
TENNESSEE.

The people of Fayette county, in public
assembly at Lagrange, on Saturday last,
adopted the subjoined resolutions in relation
to the Peace proclamation, and the general
administration policy of the President:
WHEREAS, The President of the United
States, by proclamation issued at Washing
ton CITY. on the ID of April, 1866, declares
that civil war is at an end and that the Re
public is at peace; and whereas, this is
consummation which has been long and de-
voutlv wished for by thousands and thou
sands of true American patriotic hearts IN
our desolate land, but which event has hlth-
erto been prevented by the power of a dom
inant faction in Congress; therefore, we, the
citizens of Lagrange and its vicinity, feel
shat it is our solemn duty and high privi-
leye to assemble in mass and TO give ex-
preston to our feelings on this great occa-
sion; we wish TO add our note 10 the anthem
of praise which is 10 swell and roll over this
broad land till every ear shall hear and every
heart vibrate To the joyful strain. The fol-
lowing resolutions are submitted as the
unanimous expression Of the sentiments OF
this community:
Rcsolred. LIST. That the proclamation of
President johnson is but the echo of the am
gel song to the shepherds of Gallile," gln-
nv TO God in the highest peace on earth
and good will TO man.
ID. That we will cherish its spirit in our
hearts. and manifest il in our lives.
Sd. That whatever. may have been our
past views of the nature of our political sys-
TEN. that we hereafter adopt as our motto
| the sentiments of one of our wisest states
men and truest patriots, mo North, no
South, no East, no West" and that we sub
scribe to the doctrine 'the Union is one and
| indissoluble."
4th. That we now voluntarily and public
| ly avow and renew our attachment and de
| votion 10 the Federal Constitution, and our
| LOYALTY to the Government of the Union,
| and our solemn determination to slaintain
| and defend il.
9th. That we recognise Andrew johnson
as the instrument in the hands OF God, OF
| our temporal salvation, our deliyeranee from
| the condition Of conquered province and
! our introduction again into the brotherhood
! of equal States, whose citizens are American
| freemen. His proclamation is like "the
! rainbow on the skirts Of the storm that
is past, and the harbinger Of eternal sun
shine"
9th. That we express to Andrew johnson,
President of the United States, our graft
tude for this noble act, which has removed
the incubus that has paralysed all our efforts,
that has lifted the cloud from our political
sky, and will yet make our Southern landt
Eden of the world.
eth. That we assure him that he was not
mistaken in the frank and generous conf
dence that he reposed in US, and that we will
continue to give him our cordial support in
his efforts 10 defend and enforce the covenant
Of the Constitution, and finally that we will
raise our ardent prayers 10 Heaven for wis
dom to guide and strength to support him in
his future course.

kissing NDGRo.-At one Of the sta
tions on the Southside railroad, Va, few
days since, revolving spectacle took place
in the presence Of the passengers A school
marm," who is 'teaching the young idea
how TO shoot" in one Of the neighboring
counties, met there a negro sister, which so
rejoiced her that she ineontinently rushed to
her embrace and exchanged hearty kiss.
The passengers stared with surprise, and
seemed puzzled to decide which Of the two
drew the sweetest honey. The sight was an
unusual one in that good old Commonwealth,
and very naturally made the school woman,
the balance Of the route, an object of con-
tempt on the PIrt Of those who were travel
ing with her.

At the lower end this corridor was

doors Of their chambers stood oppo-

black gown of an antiquated brocade,
which she must have ransacked from
some great-grandmother's wardrobe,
standing on some dim upper passage
of Castle Shaughnessy. She had
folds Of crimped white muslin at hcl

The Richmond Examiner issues the follow
ing order to President johnson in relation to
Mr.. Davis. It makes ones blood boil to see
the arrogant and impudent style in which
this reasonable sheet addresses the Presi-
dent OF the United States:
"When the Indictment Clements of Virginia
offered his atrocious resolution of thanks to I'm
derwood, the packer ofjuries, for his persecution
of Jefferson Davis, riiff1an from Mississippi
named Sidney (who claimed to have fought by
Mr.. Davis's side in the Mexican wary spoke in
jefferson Davis should be hanged scittout Judge
or Jury For this vile and cruel sentiment he
was dzxldudei by the convention and the Phila-
delphia audience Could anything more strongly
indicate the character of that assembly? Its inef
fable meanness defes wOrds-the language can
not fifty characterize it.
To show his detestation of the Radicals and
their diabolical wishes and impulses, Andrew
johnson must liberate Mr.. Davis on bail, or on
his own rccognizance, or absolutely-at once If
Mr.. johnson is an implacable foe of Jefferson
Davis, we desire to know it. The enemies of the
ilustrious prisoner are our enemies and we shall
resent improper treatment in his case as much as
in our own. If Mr.. johnson is not one Of those
who thirst for the blood of the ex-President of
the late Confederacy it is time for him to declare
of Congress never was good one, and it is now
entirely out of date. The fear transporting the
Radicals by an act of clemency towards Mr.. Davis
is all nonsense, when the President has even
sought their enmity in various unnecessary ways
They hate him now to their utmost capacity, and
nothing that he can do can add to their ill-will
towards him.
That will be miserable policy indeed which
shall result in making its protector hated and de-
nounced on all sides. The President is in danger
OF achieving that undesirable consummation
We warn him that If he forgets the solitary tenant
of Fortress Monroe, the people of the South, and
the people of humane impulses everywhere, con-
tinually remember him. We are growing impa-
tient of protracted, lingering confinement that
has no excuse-none. Mr.. Davis is buried alive
scitaout Judge or jury and it is hard to see that
it would be much worse to hang him, in like
manner, according to the wish of Sidney of Mis-
sissipp It is certainly just as illegal aud tyran
meal; and ii Mr.. johnson can reconcile it with
his duty or his conscience, we shall reluctantly
and sorrowf9lly, yet firmly, turn from one 50 lost
will yet do right in the case Of Mr.. Davis"

THE STRIFE OF THREE CITIES.
From the New York Daily News

/ A long mooted question in musical circles
has recently been permanently settled to the
great satisfaction of lovers of justice general
ly, and especially to the delight of Southern
ers, who have watched the long struggle with
intense interest. Boston, New York and
Baltimore have been the contending parties
in this prolonged dispute, which was boldly
inaugurated by Messrs. VIM. Knabe & Co.,
OF Baltimore, to determine whether the
"hub," the metropolis of the Monumental
City could turn out the best American piano.
The great commercial town of Maryland can
claim to lead. And this decision has not re-
suited from any one stated trial, but from a
series OF thorough comparative tests in New
York, Chicago and other important business
centres OF the country. In every instance
parties opposed to the Knabe piano have
been fairly beaten before an honest commit
tee, or have refused utterly to meet the issue
and backed down in the face of imminent
defeat. This must settle the issue as fully as
If national convention had decided it, and
in the future the South can boast of manu-
featuring the best piano of the country
Knabe d Co. have been making these superb
Instruments for thirty years, and their fame
is nothing new but other piano concerns
have sprung into existence meanwhile, claim
ing to beat the old house at its own trade,
and contest with them was inevitable-
Hence the various trials as above.
People will have their prejudices in favor
OF one or another maker, and must be hu-
mored in them; but an article so long trie,l
as this-one that has SO often proved supe-
rior and freely accorded this palm by the
best judges of Europe and America, has GER
tainly more than ordinary claims upon q
purchasers attention Substantial, durable,
handsome to look at, delightful to listen to,
keeping in tune longer than any other
known, having delicate touch and giving
such quality and purity of tone as only
"Knabe" can, we cannot but commend the
universal verdict in their favor The great
Southern house is again being extended to
meet the wants of its immense and constant
ly increasing business, and this triumphant
success, overlapping quarter of century,
