A SIgnilcant Omission.

1t is noteworthy fact one, indeed, that may well
challenge the attention of the whole country-that
in the entire proceedings of the late Mongrel Con-
vention, the name of Abraham Lincoln does not
once occur. The address, prepared with 50 much
care, and read with so much dramatic emphasis, by
Mr. Raymond, purports to give historic sketch OF
the late civil war and Of the antecedent events con-
nected Herewith; and one would naturally look for
frequent mention of the name of the ilustrious
tyred President in tbs production, if anywhere
And yet even from Mis, in Difference. of course, to
the feelings of the rebel gentry who listened to its
reading the name of Mr.. Lincoln is studiously and
successfully excluded This is as if one should
write the history of the American Revolution with
the name Of George Washington omitted; or the
history of Pennsylvania without once introduc-
ing the name of William Penn or a narrative of
the bsttleo new Orleans without once naming An
drew Jackson But let it pass. However much
unreconstructed rebels, unrepentant Copperheads
and apostate Johnsonians may essay to pour con-
tempt on the name of Abraham Lincoln, he is in
delibly enshrined in the hearts of the loyal millions
of the country, and his illustrious name does not
need to be, in any wise, incorporated in their
proceedings. to secure to it glorious Immortality
Still the omission serves to show what manner of
spirit the Copperjohnsons are of

Montgomery Blair on the Honorable.
ness of Rebellion.

Mr.. Montgomery Blair has written letter to the
New York Evening Post, defending his friend and
correspondent Alexander II. Stephens, from some
remarks in that paper, in which he takes the bold
ground that the Southern rebels are entitled TO
sympathy and honor than the Southern loyalists.-
To this complexion all the supporters of the Presi
dents policy must come at last to be consstent but
it is rather novel to see the doctrines advocated
frankly To avoid doing Mr.. Blair an injustice, We
quote the salient passages Of his letter:
"When the war came, in spite of all appeals tc
sober minded patriots to stay its fury, when the
thunder of cannon had begun, what could the low
ers of peace in either section do but to submit to the
forces with which they were surrounded, in the
States to which they belonged? = 1t is hard
for noble mind to tear itself from home, kindred
friends and native SOIL and go into opposite ranks
to crush them all.
GAS the South grew weaker and began to staggel
under the heavy blows of the gigantic North, all
her brave spirits rallied to man in her support
Even the slaves were moved by the natural instinct
for when all the white meE, young and DID, had left
their homes, their women and children, to be pro
tected and fed by their superior strength they would
not deser. to our conquering army as 1t marcheo
through the shrinking South, but fed with the panic
stricken families, and gave them aid and comfort
In this, did not the blacks prove themselves loyal
himself recreant if, under such circumstances, he
had gone over to the invaders?
1.-The aspects TO which 1 thus allude show that
the spread and continuance of war puts now face
on that which at its inception was treason. The
war upon King Charles the First in its inception was
treason 1t ceased to be treason long before the
English commonwealth was established Our wal
for independence, when the first blood was shed at
Lexington, was held in England to be treason. II
ceased to be thought long before our republic was
recognized as nation. History is full of examples
showing the distinction between violence and wrong
proceeding from the heart of community, and that
without such warrant though springing from the
impulse of a multitude and the history of all ma
tons proves, also, that this singular alchemy by
which great wars convert great crimes into pardon
able offences and sometimes into blessings, is well
understood by the common mind of every other
people as well as by our own
And SO at last we have it avowed, by the Presi-
dent of the National johnson Club, that treason
not a crime, but duty, and should not be made
odous, but crowned with laurel.

LOOK OUT!-The Cholera has broken out in
Nashville. On Friday there were eight cases OF 1t,
seven of which proved fatal and all in cnelocality.
It is thought he disease was introduced from Louis
vile by passengers on the cars. There have been
various other in Nashville not reported TO the
Board of Health. The weather in Nashvillei is very
warm and sultry and we expect to see disease raging
in that city. There is why it should not be
brought to Knoxville. We hope our corporate au-
thores will at take for the safety of
the people. Let the whole place be thoroughly
cleansed and at ONCE. 1t is No use waiting till it
comes. No use locking the stable door after the
horse is taken out.

Major General Commanding

Not one word of these very important dispatches
have been heretofore published, but suppressed by
the President of the United States that the nfamy
of his friends the rebels of New Orleans might be
kept a secret from the American people. Will the
two johnson papers in Knoxville publish them p
We predict not. They will scarcely say, however,
that Gen. Sheridans positive statements not 10
be credited.
In commenting upon these documents, we give
below the opinion of the Baltimore American, one
of the fairest and most ably edited papers in the
country. The American says:
These documents prove that the whole affair was
a premeditated and unprovoked massacre ''by Mayor
Monroe and his police" Of unofending and unarmed
citizens aud they also prove that President john
son had hitherto suppressed those portions OF them
which maintained these facts and had only hereto
fore given to the public garbed extracts from them
made TO appear to sustain the President and ayor
Monroe.
The official copy of the dispatches from General
Baird also show that they had been garbed at Wash
ngtOn before they made public and that every
thing they contained condemnatory of Mayor Mon
roe and his police withheld in order to mislead the
public in the belief that the military authorities at
New Orleans sustained the Presidential interference
