NEW REGIsTRATIoN.

Developments within the past week
indicate that an attempt is now being
made, or will be made, to have new
registration of voters in this State SO
far as this county is concerned, it would
seem that no complaint of facility of
voting can be charged against the late
Clerk Of the Court He has been very
soundly abused for his strictness in
granting permits to vote The intention
of the movement is very clear, and in
admirable harmony with the general
course of the Brownlow party. In the
event of the defeat of the new franchise
bill, there will remain no hope Of Radical
ascendency, except that which would
come from new and stricter registration
Of voters. AS things now stand, the
ruling party in the State will be swep:
from Office when the next elections come
OF. There is. no doubt Of it; and we
shall probably have an overhauling of
voters certificates. This state of affairs
or = state Of affairs growing ont of the
attempt Of an insignificant minority to
trample down the majority Of our people,
will furnish the immortal Obstruction
Committee an additional reason for keep
ing the coppers on the eyes of the State
of Tennessee.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Richmond (va.) Times says: =.
Mr.. Seward has had the honor of calls
from many of the Republicans, to learn
whether the Secretary Of State was in
downright earnest in his support of the
Presidents policy, and especially
whether he commends the speech Of the
22d February These gentlemen of an
inquiring mind have uniformly come
from the Secretary's presence with flea
in their several ears. Mr. Seward was
very emphatic, making emphasis more
emphatic by adopting the style Of phrase
ology used by our army in Flanders" "
He told bis anxious ihquirers that he was
as much responsible for the Presidents
policy as Mr. johnson himself, for he Aad
advised it; and as for the language used
by the President in the 22d OF February
speech, he could see no objection to it,
other than the lack of strength when
allusion was made TO the Radicals And
the Secretary here went off in illustration
Of what he would have said about the
rule-or-ruin set had he have had the say.
Mr. Johnson's estimate of Stevens i CO.
was mild, compared with that which Mr.,
Seward has formed OF them.

THE SEA ISLANDS.


The Philadelphia Press, of the 9Th
inst, says, adviees have been received
st the Freedmen's Bureau from Georgia,
in which the condition CT the freed peo-
pie occupying the Sea Islands is reported.
On ST. Caiharine's Island we're six humid
red freedmen, two hundred Of whom were
former slaves Of tho owner Of the I,land,
ell in destitute condition. Since May,
1865, the Island has been under the con
troll Of a Mr.. CANPBELL,a colored preacher
from New York, who has under him some
ten or fifteen colored agents Of the most
crafty character, who cut the wood of
the Island and sell it, employ freedmen
and pay them in liquor at the most ex.
orbitant prices. Mr. CAMPBELL, the agent,
has distributed all the land on the Island,
a large portion Of which has fallen into
the possession Of himself his sons, and
immediate friends. The assistant CON.
missioner applied himself 10 remedy
these evils, and has at length done so to
the satisfaction Of all parties concerned.

EXPLOSION OF THE YERRY-BoAT COW
INGT0N No. 2.
Probable Loss Of Mfe-ferrible Conhagra-
uon-soenes Of Excitement in the City.

At quarter past twelve o'clock
this morning the city was astounded
by the noise of heavy explosion,
repeated several times as if a mag
azine Of powder had been suddenly igni-
ted and vent of The noise proceeded
from the direction of the river, and was
Immediately followed By the lurid light
Of n ccnfagration. Large crowds or
people, late as the hour WAS. poured to
the landisg, where the canse Of the mys-
terry was plainly discernible.
Lying across the river at her dock,
where she had just arrived, was the ferry
boat Coyington No. 2 When we arrived
at the river she was mass Of flames,
lighting mp the dark expanse Of the water
Of the Ohio, and throwing a brilliant ray
upon the lower portion of the streets Of
the city. The remark Of all Who beheld
the terrible spectacle was that it was
indeed Providential that the accident had
happened while she Was at he1 landing,
giving her passengers an opportunity to
get of, instead Of happening IN the
middle Of the stream, where the cates-
trophe would certainly have bern at
tended with frightful loss Of life
At the date Of this writing il is not
known that any lives were lost, but fears
are expressed that some persons cen
nected with the boat may have been
involved in the ruin.

A Triumph OF Science.

The liquid of the blood is coloress,
and its red appearance is due to the
presence of innumerable little bodies
floating in it, which are so small that
three millions of them are contained in
a drop which may be suspended on the
point of needle. These corpsucles are
sacs filled with compound substance,
and in has been ascertained what both
the films of the sacs andits contents are
composed Of Each one of these little
bodies has its own life. They are formed,
and grow, and die; and it is calculated
that nearly twenty millions perish at
every pulsation of the heart.

Is SOUTH CAROLINA LoYALl

The President is reported to have said
on recent occasion, thai he regarded
South Carolina as more loyal at this
time than at any period during the last
thirty years The history of South Car
DINA is well known to the President, as
it is indeed to all intelligent men, In
. 1928, that State became dissatisfied with
the protective tariff and in 1882 the
feeling eliminated in the notification
imbroglio CALHOUN, HAYNE and
McDUFFE, became champions of the
doctrine that a State could lawfully. Sc
cede from the Union, and that the Gene
raj Government was bound 10 acquiesce.
This theory was cherished by the people
as remedy against assumptions Of State
powers on the part of the Goyernmens
but to be resorted TO only in cases of
palpable infraction of the reserved rights
of the State 1t was claimed TO be the
only doctrine that could perpetuate the
Union. Once admit that the States are
the judges of their reserved rights, and 1
that they can retire from the Union in 4
case of oppression, the General Govern
ment would confne its powers TO those,
aud only those delegated to i; in the
Federal Constitution
And South Carolina did think, on sew
eral occasions, that the time had arrived
when she could and might retire from the
Union, but deemed it inexpedient to do
so without the cooperation Of the other !
Southern States IF adherence, therefore,
TO an intention to secede, at the proper
time and for the proper reasons, consti- {
tuted disloyalty. then the President is |
right in his declaration, fer the State was J
disloyal for thirty years II, on the other !
hand, a conviction, no matter by what
circumstance produced, is now enter
tanned by her, that she possesses neither
the right nor the power 10 secede, and

siituies loyalty, Is she not loyal-more :

asst thirty years? We Go not suppose ="

Moreover, South Carolina, whether out
