Sayings of a PardOned Rebel.

The Memphis Avalanche, a reconstructed journal,
whose editor has been pardoned by the President
the 18th of May, $751; treated the reading world 10
the following:
Andrew johnson, we see, is still making speeches
in East Tennessee. He travels from one appoint
ent to another amid the kicks and curses of an out
ragged people. There is an end to forbearance. We
hope the true men Of East Tennessee will put stop
to this bad mans treason by tearing his slanderous
tongue from his foul mouth.
The above extract reads just like all the notices
in the rebel papers of Tennessee at the time But
they like the Avalanche, are now all loud in their
praise of the Presidents Southern policy We call
the matter up to show the power of grace upon the
human heart. Since poroned the rebel sinners even
"love their enemies" and pray for them that dis
pitefully use them r- "
If pardon by man can do this much, what would
forgiveness from COP bring about? 1t would set
these rebel editors to holding prayer meetings

The Convention.

The Convention on the 22d promises TO
be rare affair. The Banner of Yesterday
says:
In u few woeks-on the 22d of February
"a mass convention is called to assemble in
this city. Let it be fully attended Let the
most distinguished and leading rebels, like
the most distinguished and leading Union
men, be selected from every part of the
State. Let the assemblage be representa-:
tive-giving expression to the character and
virtue OF the people-coming fresh from the
body OF the masses. Come, gentlemen, come.
Come.from every nook and corner. Come
from the crevices and coves.
The Union, on the other hand, says:
We observe that a number of newspaper
writer's, in the interests of the opposition
to President Johnsons restoration policy,
are seeking to create the impression, bo.h
here and abroad, that the meeting Is to be
COpperhead, qHSSt disloyal affair. If such
was intended to be the character of the
meeting, we could have nothing whatever
to do with it, We think no better of Cop
perheadism now than we did whilst it was
engaged in an attempt to strike down the
National cause through Lincoln and John
son.
By the bye, the Columbia Herald pats
the Union on the back thus:
The Union continues to direrge from the
tcicked rays Of its sometime allies. Recon-
mends the meeting of the 22d of February
pitches into the Head Boss of the
Negro Bureau, and intimates pretty strong
" that the home Radicals are neither
so good nor so wise as they should be.

ton, who conducted the same paper when il was the
official organ OF Isham G. Harris. Dunningtor
still regards Harris as great good man, and has
shed some very big tears lately over his banished
leader and hero
The Nashville Gazette is edited, am told, by tho
hoary old reb, Pascal, who was sent to the penten
tiary by General Thomas, and afterward released
for the reason as the hero of Chickamauga expires
sed it. that he was "too old to be in prison and toe
ID poor to pay fine" The Federal cause
however owes a debt even to Pascal for he had al
least one son, as have been credibly informed, in
the Federal army-a private in the 18th U. S. c. L
Give the devil his duel
John Miller Mckee, real clever gentleman,
am told, was associated with Huntington as condue-
tor of the Union and American, which fre6 up fol-
Harris while he ran the State off the Union track
and smashed things up generally.
1t is very natural that all these gentlemen of the
press should admire the reconstruction policy attri
bued to President Johnson and that the very sight
of Gov. Brownlow's name or copy of the Cincin-
natl Gazette should throw them into spasms He
role, patriotic, noble countrymen! all loyal men
should fall on their Bonded knees and humbly beg
your pardon for wishing to keep you knocking at
the door of the Union Church until the boots wear

glass tubes II is taken from an article
Son the fracture of polished glass surfaces,
copied from the London Merchants Maya
zine The article says
'It is u fact known to the philosophical
instrument makers, that if metal wire
be drawn through glass tube, few hours
afterwards the tube will burst into frag-
ments. The annealed glass tubes used for
the water gauges of steam boilers are some
times destroyed in this way, after the act
of forcing piece of cotton waste through
them with wire, for the purpose of clean

piece of soft wood is employed The late
Andrew Ross informed me that on one
occasion, late in the evening, he lightly
pushed a piece of cotton wool through a
number of barometer tubes with piece of
cane, for the purpose of clearing out any
particles of dust The next morning he
found most of the tubes broken up into
small fragments, the hard siliceOus coating
of the cane proving as destructive as he had
previously known wire to be.
In these times, when glass lamp chimneys
are in so wide use it is OF no little impor
lance that this fact should be made known.
Thousands of persons who have been in
the habit of using wires, table forks, and
variety of metallic articles in the washing
of these chimneys will, in the above stated
fact, find the reason of their chimneys so
often swapping to pieces on the lamp. Our
lady. says to us when we state this fact to
her; There now, ] see Our servant al

The agent of the Associated Press at this point is
gentleman of intelligence and veracity, and 1 am
sure he had no desire to withhold or misrepresent
the truth He telegraphed, no doubt, what at the
time seemed and perhaps even yet seems to him
fair and correct. Whether it really is so or not
SHALL after stating few facts leave your readers to
Judge.
Here is the call as it appeared the morning after
the telegram in question was sent from this city:
To tie People Of Tennessee:
Recent events render desirable a mass convention
of that portion of the people of Tennessee who are
favorable to its speedy and complete restoration to
its proper position of equality and influence in the
nation.
The war has closed, and with it all occasion for
distinctions between citizens. Let US, then, cell
citrate the anniversary of the birthday of the father
of his country, Thursday, February 22d, 1866, by
the assenlblage at the capital of the State of the
masses of the people to devise measures to secure
this desirable result. This may be secured by
hearty and unquestionable Endorsement of the res
toration policy of the present patriotic Executive of
the nation, his Excellency, Andrew johnson, Ten
nessees most distinguished son. Let every county
