RADICAL PERFORMANCE OF Duty
ONE OF JUDGE n. A. PATrERSON'S
TRICKS.
Of the Union and Amerienn.I

Correspondence Of the Union and Americana
MANCHESTER, September %, 1S66.-The
Circuit Court for this county, according to
law, should have been held on the first Mon
day in this month. A few days before. that
time letter was received from His Honor
Judge PATTERSON, announcing that, on ac-
count of his having to attend the Supreme
Court at Knoxville, he could not be here,
and would, therefore, postpone the term till
the second Monday. The Sheriff of the
county, in accordance with the instructions
of His Honor, had his jurors summoned,
his witnesses subpen@d and everything in
readiness to hare the Court at the time
specified in the letter referred to. The
second Monday came, but the Court did not;
and although the people here are getting on
quite comfortably and peacefully without
courts, still, as His Honor had promised to
be with them, it was somewhat of a disap-
pointment, but being easily satisfied, all
parties retired to await His Honors further
pleasure. In the meantime it leaks out,
that instead of being at Knoxville attending
to important matters before the Supreme
Court, Judge PATTERSON was some
hundreds of miles away-a delegate to a
certain mixed Convention at Philadelphia,
bUIilou VI L1dab
Tennessee from which he halls or the six
or eight loyal whites resident in this portion
of his moral vineyard, this deponent can
not, Of his own knowledge, aver. / only
use the word ''loyaP only in It's BRowNLoW
Specification. 1t also appears from subse-
quent investigation that the regular session
Of the Supreme Court at Knoxville did not
commence its sitting until the second Mon
day in the month, thus forcing the inference
that the Judge was rather ignorant on a
point Of material importance, or was guilty
of criminal subterfuge to cloak purpose
of which, it seems, he was ashamed. OF
course those who know Judge PATTERSON
in the past, through the columns of BRowN-
LOWS Whig would not for a moment be-
lieye him guilty of an intentional decep-
ton. At any rate the Court was not held,
and people oH tall, you know.

Appointments by the PresIdent-SaIe
of Revenue Cutters.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2f.-The President
to-day made the following appointments :
J. ANDERSON, of Maine, Auditor Of the
Treasury for the Postofice Department; JNO.
J. HUMPHREY, Of Tennessee, Agent for the
Indians Of the Cherokee Agency.
Chief Engineer MORTIMER KELLOG, of
the United State Navy, has been ordered to
superintend the construction Of the Govern
ment building at Bridgewater, Massachu-
sets.
Congress at the late session authorized the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell such Of the
revenue cutters as are not adapted TO the
service. The Government will accordingly,
soon dispose at public sale, six Of the steam
ers which were built in a manner more suit
able for war than for the civil service
Then there will be twelve remaining cutter
steamers, six Of which are on the lakes, and
nine sailing cutters.
The number of the latter is to be increased,
proposals for building which have been in
vited. Sailing vessels are TO be employed
only when they can render the requisite ser
vice, while their use will materially decrease
the expense of the service.
Recently delegation Of prominent busi-
ness men, most Of them cotton factors and
planters, visited Washington 10 endeayor to
obtain 4 modification Of the existing rules
and regulations under which cotton has
subjected. The Secretary Of the Treasury
to-day referred the subject 10 the Attorney
General, for his opinion in the premises.

80. roRnrsr,s I.ErrER.

A frank and noble letter from Gen. FOR-
REST, in reply to an invitation TO attend the
postponed ratification meeting in this city,
appears this morning. This gentleman, ian
able and chivalric soldier, has been much
maligned By those whose political creed he
concisely sums up in the two words, Ha-
tired and "Revenge;" but his daily walk
and conversation, since he laid down the
arms he so calamity bore, is meeting and
successfully refuting the ISLANDERS uttered
against him. He is yielding hearty and
sincere support 70 the Government to which
he surrendered in April 1865, and pledged
his honor as a soldier and his fealty as a
citizen, asthe legitimate authority Of the land.
The men now in convention at Pittsburg
who took good care to shun him when on
the war-path, are acting in character, when
they hoot and deride his cordial greeting to
the true soldiers Of the Union who lately
met At Cleveland. He, and his comrades Of
the Confederate army, can afford TO pass in
silence theJ ers of such men, confident that,
sooner or later, an enlightened public judg-
ment viii award impartial justice.

When the statement that II. G. NoRToN,
one Of the vagrant Southern loyalists who
are earning their bread and butter by max
ing crusade in the North against the Pres
ident and the Union, had become disguised
with his mission and had determined to ex-
pose The tergiyersations Of the anti-restora-
tionists with whom he was raiding, it was
straightway declared by ali good radical
prints in the east that NORTON was never a
good radical; that he had not the confidence
Of the knowing ones among the faithful in
the Radical church, and had "wrung himself
in" upon the sweet-scented BROwELow,
HAMILTON, YARMOUTH, etc. This denial
in behalf Of the so-called Radical NORTON
was accepted redily enough BY the public,
for il was well understood that the whole
gang Of itinerants were "shakyp set Of ad-
venturers; but now the Radical papers are
putting forth new denial, to the effect that
NoRr0S is true and the pretended dispatch
Of his, was forgery. Well, no matter; It
is Of little account to the country whether
these vagrant disunion 'loyahsts" lie or are
lied about. As soon as the bread and butter
with which their political friends are feeding
them fail, they win subside into obscurity.-
