ABOUT OURsELF.

The Louisville Journal, in notice Of a
remark Of this paper in rebule Of such in
judicious and Incorporate newspapers as the
Richmond Examiner, falls into an error-a
Strange and unaccountable error in one in
near and daily communication with us.
We do not know that the term Original
secession sheet" as applied to us, is intended
10 cast odium or excite prejudice. 1t is
sometimes used by the journal with that
purpose. We beg to inform it, however,
that the UNION AND AMERICAN, while an
earnest and consistent advocate Of the rights
and liberties Of the Southern people before
and since the war, and under all eircum-
stances-in war as well as in peace-was
not an "origisal secession sheet"
Furthermore, Il is not "edited by the
gentlemen who conducted it during the
war" It's publication was suspended in
February, 1861, and was not resumed I'M
iii December, 1s65-much the greater por-
ton Of the period Of the war. lis edi-
torial stafr has been changed in some
respects; but while the paper has accepted,
in good faith, the results Of the war, and
recommended its patrons and the people
generally to acquiescence in these results,
and cordially support the Government it
has not changed its principles II has ever
been for the Constitution, fairly and justly
construed, and strictly enforced. II the
Journal means tosay that circumstances have
wrought no alteration or deviation in the
devotion to the great principles Of liberty,
which led us to defend and uphold the
Southern people so long as we had the pow
er to speak in their behalf, and that We are
now endeavoring to inculeate 4 strict ad-
herence TO the Constitution Of the United
States, as the safest and the only security for
the blessing Of free Government to al the
people Of the nation, it is correct; other
wise il is not We do not think the Jour
nal intended to misrepresent us but this
statement is due to the truth Of history.

SuVTI.TTIEs AND INCKVIILTHEs no
THE PRESIDENT.

Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and Chat
tanooga-the chief cities Of this State-b.lve
rendered invitations to the President r. visit
them on his return route % Washington.
The arrangements Of the trip prevent him
from accepting them. The invitations we're
offered from 'the fullness Of the hears,@ and
in due appreciation, as well of the distin-
guished station he occupies, as Of his title
to the gratitude Of the people for his firm
and heroic services to the cause of Consti-
tutiOnal liberty. Tho municipal authori
ties Of several Of the cities through which
he has passed, have refused him the cour-
tesies and inequalities due his rank as the
first officer of the Government, and, in some
Instances, their citizens have offered out
rageous insults to him under the promptings
of the malign spirit of radicalism. An i'm
partial mind would decide that the action Of
cities paying respect to the Chief Magistrate
of the nation was an evidence Of attachment
to the Government represented in his per-
son, and that contrary course was an ex-
hibition of disafection. But the times are
SO sadly disiointed that a show of respect to
the President is pronounced the highest
and most conclusive evidence Of disloyalty.
This spirit must be soon altered, or things
will have to get further wrong, before they
are set right again. Philadelphia, Cleve-
land, and Chicago have disgraced them
selves, but they have done valuable public
service if their conduct is sufficient to set
the public mind to thinking about the
means of preventing the mischief which it
imports 1t will have that effect, If all hui
man experience is not at fault. The people
of this country have a surfeit of strife They
will not permit a faction to perpetuate it,
and every evidence Of design TO do SO will
serve only to stimulate them to avert it.
The venomous speeches against the Presi-
dent at the Philadelphia Radical Conven-
ton, the hootings and ratings of Radical
cIacgueur8 at Cleveland, the studied insults
of Radical city corporations, are means con-
trolled by the genius of Conservatism to the
great end of bringing the country back to
the right track. Whoever interprets them
otherwise is mistaken.

NEW YORK Sept. S.-A Washington special SAYS
Gen. HOWARD is in receipt Of report from the
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Blu
reau of North Carolina, of September Sd, in
which, speaking Of the present status Of the col
Ored men ne states his intention, which has al
ready been partially successful, Ofbreaking up the
freedmens camps throughout the State, and con-
centrating the needy and deserving at a few CEN
trail points.
II is his opinion that after October LIST but few
duties viii devOlve upon officers and agents of the
Bureau in that State, the jurisdiction of officers
generally having been turned over to the civil
authorities. All complaints Of Outrages between
whites and blacks have during the past month
been referred to the State courts. and prOsecu-
lions have been enforced against offenders Of both
classes with equal zeal. He closes his report with
the assertion that Of the aggregate negro popu-
latiOn in the State of over 500 CO., not more than
g. 900 have failed to place themselves out of the
reach Of want for the coming year.

lie was great and good man. Out of
respect to his memory, business houses were
closed and business generally suspended.
His funeral took place this evening. 1t was
attended by the City Council, members Of
the legal profession, and a large concourse Of
citizens. General grief is manifested.
We presume this dispatch refers to Sena-
tor c. c. CLAY, Of Alabama, though the
author has so confused the description with
that Of his father, Ex-Gov. CLAY, that it is
impossible to decide positively. The young
er has been in delicate health for long
time, and the other one was quite old Our

Indians are committing deprcdatiOns within two
OF three miles of that time. At the time the gem
tleman bringing the intelligence left, some fifty
or sixty persons had been killed. and large
amount of property stolen and destroyed. He
also reports that the only tribes on the road be-
tween LeavenwoTth and Fort Laramie who are
supposed to be really friendly are the PaWnees
and band of the Cheyenees. In an engagement
which the troops at the latter place had with the
savages, the former were forced to beat hasty
retreat back to the garrison, losing some forty
men. On the Smoky Hill route they have stopped
the stages, and have given them seven days TO re-
move all their stock from the road.

vERnOxT-oOAIs IN NEW CASTLE.

The Radicals in this little BIT Of State,
says the New York Express, hidden away up
in the mountains where the news travels
slowly, have elected two Of the three mem.
bers Of Congress-not three, as heretofore.-
mo choice having been effected in one dis
trict,) and they have, as usual, carried the
Legislature, and they claim, by increased
majorities, over comparatively small vote
in 1866. The Radical Press is jubilant
thereon, and reioices over it. We expect
soon to hear Of their being happy over a

nROwNLOw ON NE emo SUFFRAGE.

On Thursday evening last Just before the
Philadelphia Black-and-Tan closed their
orgies, Gov. BRowNLow rose to make an ex-
PLANTATION. 1t was this:
thad been said that he (BRowNLow) was
afraid of the negro suffrage. He never held
doubtful position on any question, and he
had no hesitation in saying he was for negro
suffrage. He would rather be elected to an
office by loyal negroes than disloyal whites.
He would rather associate with loyal ne
groes in private life than with white rebels.
He would rather be buried in negro grave
yard than in rebel graveyard; and if he
had 70 60 to hell or Heaven after death, he
would rather go with loyal negroes than
white rebels"
The devil will please take notice, and pro-
vide for BRowNLow in the NEGRO quarters"
Of his dominions.
