cncc encourages us In this recklessness, for
We have entered on war without counting the
cost, 10 our very great loss and, what some

close Of the century, nud that War, when It
comes, will have to be fought IS the Federals
In America fought, more with money than

TElE BALLOT BEFORE LAND.
Mr.. Thaddcus Stevens in bis speech on tue

Mr.. ThAddcuB Stevens tn his speech On tue
Reconstruction policy of the Committee Of

.41ic beltescd that thit Congress would not ap-
grown ~ man IN ine laie rebel sistes wss provided
with homestead on tie Land where he h1t been
held as flayu Forty acres OF land and nut
would be Of more value TO him thsn the rteht
to vote"
We are in favor OF giving homesleads to
whites and blacks on the same terms, but we
despisc the policy Of assuming to be generous
toward those to whom we dare not be Just,
The staicmcnt that land and hut would he
worth more 10 the freedmen than the ballot
Is exactly on par with the old shareholders,
statement that plenty to eat, drink aud wear,
WIS worth more to the slave than his liberty
Men utter such cercsious trash to defend
themselves against the charge Of being
theorists, md to make their notions appear
practical. Would forty acres Of such wild
land as the United States retains in the South,
and hut, be worth more 10 Thaddeus
Stevens or to his constituents than vote
What would his land and hut be worth to
him after his nclEhburs had driven lin of his
land md burned his hut, rs they drove OF the
negroes and burned their huts at Memphis
And how can they be prevented from depri-
wing the negroes oi land aud hut, Of home,
church and school, OF family ,ireligion nad civ
ilization, unless through the ballot the col
orcd man is placed In possession OF all those
safeguards Of freedom which white men In
all ages have found necessary for themselves,

From the SholbyvilIe Union. l5th.l
AT the present term of the Chancery Court
at this place, the case Of the State Of Ten
nessee VS.. r. n. WALLACE and his securities,
as Cashier Of the Bank OF Tennessee at Shell
byville, for the year 1861, upon an amended
bill, seeking TO hold them liable for con-
verting bills bonds, notes and other assets
Of the bank into Confederate money, came
before Chancellor STEELE, upon demurrer
as TO the relief sought by the bill against the
securities Of DR., WALLACE. The Chancel-
lor held that the securities we're not respon-
sible for acts done by their principal when
engaged in the rebellion, the acts charged in
the bill 20 be in aid Of the rebellion.
That individual, in times OF rebel
lion are only responsible for their own
acts, that, as TO these securities, there was no
averment in the bin that they were disloyal,
or participated in the acts complained Of,
and that il was the duty Of the Government,
and not Of citizens, 10 suppress the rebellion;
and that citizens, such as these securities,
were not liable without their participation.
This decision was acquiescod in BY the able
counsel for the State, who Immediately dis
missed the amended bill against DIR. WAL
LACE and his said securities. We under
stand that the securities Of DR.. WALLACE as
Cashier, and Mr.. WM. G0sEING, Of Shelby
vile, Messrs. WV. B. WALLACE, r. 5. HoI-
lISs and John HERFORn, Of Nashville, all
Of whom are exoneraied by this decision.

1.-THE ACCIDENT AT JOHNSTOWN,
PENNSYLVANIA - SYMPATHY OF
THE PRESIDENT WITH THE sUF-
FFRERS


FERERS
The telegraph announced on Saturday
the occurrence Of a frightful accident at
Johnstown, Pennsy sylvania, while the train on
which were the President and his party, had
stopped for a few moments. The following
are further particulars of the calamity:
This being manufacturing town, thou
sands Of operatives turned out to see the dis
tinguished visitors. Numbers were stand
ing on a platform across gully about thirty
feet deep, when suddenly the entire eonstruc-
ton gave way, and at least two hundred
people were precipitated with a fearful
crash into the valley below.
The breaking of the bridge, combined
with the terrific cries of the sufferers, made
a startling sound Thousands Immediately
rushed to the spot and rendered every pos
sible assistance. The Presidential train,
which was about to start, was Immediately
backed TO the scene of the accident
Members Of the party joined in efforts to
rescue the victims Men, women and chill
dren were mingled in confused mass be-
meath piles and ralers of the bridge. In
few minutes the scene lately so joyful was
changed to one Of fearful and tragic woe.
Many were strong enough TO creep by them
selves from the ruins, and with the excep-
iion Of bruises and strains were slightly in
jured. Aner awhile however, the more Sc
riously injured were rescued, and then the
horrible tale commenced to unfold itself
Women were drawn out dreadfully cut, and
young men and boys were lying on the grass
in numbers apparently deprived Of life.
Men with ears served from their heads were
assisted from thespOt, while Others with long,
deep gashes across the head, were carried up
the hillside. Some, apparently dead, were
supposed 20 be only stunned; but a few
minutes served to tell the mournful truth.
The struggles Of those still inextricably
thrown beneath the heavy timbers We're
hcart-rendiag.
After the first shock, not a sound was utter
ed by the injured. Pain and fright seemed
to have totally deprived them Of the power
os utterance. Some little girls, with stream
ing hair, we're crying for their parents, and
trepidation was painted on the faces Of the
bystanders that the next body drawn forth
lileless might be that of some relative.
From factories and mills people were
rushing down to the scene, and every face on
the train and on the ground was pallid with
alright At the solicitation of the Super
intendent, as a matter of precaution for the
safety Of the special train, party was left
az every station on the road 10 this place
The President received dispatches from Col.
OBRIESE specially detailed, announcing
the results Of the catastrophe. Down TO
the latest accounts thirteen are known to
have been killed, aud ninety-two wounded,
some seriously. The President sent $500
for the relief OF the victims and their fami-
