Proposition for u Convention to Set
Aside che State Government.

AT public meeting of citizens of William
son county, held ON the 28th nit, Mr.. Edwin
Paschal offered the following resolution,
which was adopted;
Whereas, the constitution Of Tennessee Sc
cures to the people the right, al all times, ito
alter, refosm, or abolish the government in
such manner as they may think proper" and
whereas, in the Judgement of this meeting a
conjuncture has arisen which imperatively de-
mands the exercise of this right on the part
of the people of this State; and whereas, the
military control Of our affairs still retained
by the Federal COVE nment keeps in suspen-
sion the rights which would belong to tn
people, upon It's withdrawal therefore be it
Resolved, That we consider it desirable
and expedient, that the delegates from
this State TO the National Union Con-
vention to assemble at Philadelphia on the
l4th Of Augu st, shall apply to the Presidep;
of the United States, and endeavor TO obtain
bis consent as Commander in chief of the
army, to holding of State Constitutional
Convention by the people of Tennessee,
upon the terms accorded by him to the PEG
pie of the other Southern States with
view to set aside the present State organiz-
alton, and thereby TO bring this State into
efficient cooperation with the Executiy Q
policy for restoring the Union.

If such thoughts came, and others-of a
pleasant cottage, and Of one who had dearly
loved her, ana whose strong arm had kept
want and trouble from her and her babes,
but who could never come back-if these
thoughts did come, replningly, there came
also another; and the widows hands were
clasped, and her head bowed low in deep con-
triton as heard her say, "Father forgive
me, for thou dost all things we'll, and / will
trust thee" Just then the door opened soft
ly, and some one entered. Was it an angel
Her dress was of spotless white, and she
moved with noiseless step. She went to
the bed where the sleeping child lay, and COW
cred it with soft warm blankets. Then pres
emily fire sparkled and blazed there, such
as the little old CRATE had never known be-
fore. Then huge loaf was upon the table,
and fresh milk for the babe. Then she passed
gently before the mother, and drawing the
unfinished slipper from her hand, placed
there purse Of gold, and said, in voice
like music Bless thy God, who is the
God Of the fatherless and the widow" and
she was gone only, as she went out, |
heard her say, ''better than diamomds-better
than diamonds p What coul she mean ?
/ looked at the mother. With clasped hands,
and streaming eyes she blessed her God, who
had sent an angel to comfort her. So | went
too; and / went to a bright room, where
there were music, and dancing, and sweet
flowers and I saw young, happy, happy,
faces and beautiful women richly dressed, and
sparkling with jewels but none that knew,
until one passed me whose dress was of sim
pie white, with only rosebud on her bosom,
and whose voice was like the sweet sound of a
silver lutte. No ngledslippers glittered up
on her foot; but she moved as one that tread
eth upon the air, and the divine beauty Of
holiness had so glorifed her face, thatI felt,
as | gazed upon her, that she was indeed an
angel of God.

INSANE NEGROES AT THE SOUTH. The new

says the sudden transition from slavery to
freedom, together with the immense amount
of suffering incident thereto, has filed to

A dispatch was received to-day at the Freed

phrey, of Mississippi, in answer to an inqui-
ry whether he could accommodate any more
insane colored people, that all the asylums
were full, but that the State would take i'm
mediate steps to increase the facilities for
providing for as many as possible of that un-
fortunate class.

SAD AND BEAUTIFUL-Ex-G Vance.
OF North Carolina, in recent address before
the literary societies of the North Carolina
University, spoke as follows:
" No moments of victory are for us, no ma
tional jubilee can we celebrate, no songs of
triumph can our maidens sing, or garlands
of glory weave; there is no welcoming Of re-
turning conquerors, nor erecting of triumphal
arches for US, to console us for our great suf-
fering. We are all alone with our great de-
feat and that heavy sorrow which, "never
fitting, still is sitting, still is sitting in our
household" and all that we have left for
our comfort is the sad yet tender light which
plays around the memory of those who died
to make it otherwise"

Virginia.

In recent speech in New Jersey, Mr..
Henry Clay Dean, Of Iowa, pays the follow
ing glowing and beautiful tribute to Virgin
la, the mother of States, statesmen and he
roes:
q dare speak one kind word for the OPP
pressed in the very teeth Of the oppressor.
Since Adam took possession of Eden, no
part Of his heritage has given to man such
an hundred years of history as that of Vir-
ginia, beginning with the public life of
George Washington, and ending with the
surrender Of the armies Of General Robert
E. Lee. The great orator, Patrick Henry,
whose spirit lighted up the first great revo-
luton, and whose mild, sweet voice called
armies up the valley and down from the
from the mountains to defend New York,
New Jersey and Massachusetts, from the in
vader's hoof, was Vrginian; George
Washington, who led these armies, was a
Virginian; Thomas Jefferson, whose great
soul encompassed the world and lifted its
light upon a bcnighted age to teach it liber
ty, was Virginian; James Madison, who
environed our rights by fame of living
fire which the most illustrious periods in the
past and present century preserved unharm-
ed all that was sacred in life and precious in
hope-the Constitution of the United States
was Virginian John Marshall, whose
luminous mind, guided by immutable justice,
gave being to a most profound and compre-
hensive judiciary, the bulwark of American
institutions, the marvel of mankind, was a
Virginian; Henry Clay, whose commanding
majesty of soul drew after him whithersoev-
er he went one full half of the whole moral
and intellectual powers of America, who did
obeisance in his name, was Virginian the
Lees, Richard Henry, Arthur Francis Light
foot, Light Horse Harry, and his illustrious
son, Robert E. Lee, were Virginians; Thorn
as Jonathan jackson, the great military ge-
MUS of the Western Hemisphere, was Vir-
ginian The courts and legislatures and
forums, and pulpits Of every State in the
Union, and every Government on the Con-
tinent, have been adorned by sVirginians-
Their blood shed in noble defence Of liberty,
has fattened every valley, and their bones
have bleached on every mountain from Bun
ker Hill to the City Of Mexico. With such
history and such race of freemen, Henry
Wilson, Horace Greedy and Charles Sumner
would disfranchise this illustrious people, anG

AN INcIDENT.-A "reb," who had long
languished on the sweets of forced idleness.
consequent upon his occupation having ter

about him for something to be, to do, or to

The sequel.

Our readers have all heard the story of
soaping the clergyman's tin horn at camp
meeting, so that when he went to call the
congregation together, he blew the "soft
soap" over his brother clergymen, and how
he exclaimed:
Brethren, I have served the Lord thirty
years, and in this time never uttered pro-
fame word, but I'll be darned if 1 can't whip
the man that soaped that horn"
Our readers, we say have heard all this,
but have, perhaps, never heard the sequel,
as given to us by gentleman present.
Some two days after, tall, swarthy, VII
lainous-looking desperate strolled on the
ground and leaned against tree, listening
to an eloquent exhortation to repent, which
was being made by the preacher. After
awhile he became interested, finally affected,
and then taking seat ON the anxious bench,
commenced grooming in the " very bitterness
of his sorrow" The clergyman walked
down and attempted to console him. No
consolation was too great sinner, he
said. No, he was too wicked-there was no
mercy for him. sia
Why, what crime have you committed?'
said the preacher, Z" have you stolen %
CO., worse than that" r .I.,..
"What, have you, by violence, robbed fe-
male innocence of it's virtue? ?"
"Worse than that, sir Oh worse than
that p aa
Murder" gasped the Mortified minis
ter.
" Worse than that!' groaned the smitten
sinner '.'
The excited minister commenced "peel-
ing off" his outer garments. .aa

The STACKING OF Mr.. DAVIS Our
readers will recollect the statement made that
DR.. Craven's Prison Life of Jefferson Da-
Wis., was published without Mr.. Davis con-
sent, and that many Of its contents did not
meet his approval. Recently, Mr.. Davis,
feeling that DR.. Craven has done him great
injustice in his description Of the memorable
Stacking scene, gave to friend the follow
ing account:
His account is to the effect that when the
file of soldiers entered his room, and the SER
geant had stated in a few direct words the
business upon which they had come, he (Da-
vis) quietly and briefly said that he must re-
sent it to the extent Of his power as an in
suit to me and our people" With the
view only of entering this forcible protest
and not with an intent of engaging in child
ish struggle with the soldiers he struck at
the. man nearest him when the soldiers
brought their arms promptly to the position
of g charge bayonets" Sergeant 49,, how
ever, instantly ordered shoulder arms, !"
and had the prisoner seized and placed upon
the bed. When there, Davis struggled for
a moment, and then submitted without re-
mark to what he knew he could not avoid.
The sergeant, who was the only +" officer"
present, Mr.. Davis says, performed his du-
ty just as soldier would do, made no ex-
cuses for it, and did not plead orders. In
short, all the details Of this scene in the Cra-
ven book, including the exclamation by Da-
Wis, ''Oh, the shame! oh, the shame Y up
on which the changes have been rung 50 in
cessantly by the newspapers, are, upon the
authority of the prisoner himself, merely fig
ments of the Doctors Imagination.
