JACKSON, MISS.


~. N."-We have received a letter from
this distinguished philosopher dated at Chat
tanooga on the 2nd instant informing MS
that he lectured the night previous at
Corinth, but with what results he does not
state. Appended to his letter is the follow
ing notice, which, we trust, will meet the
eye and move the heart of the party to
which it is addressed:

the press, to the person that took my satchel
in mistake-the other day, that if he will
retain it and address me note, at Jackson,

~ The Revenue act passed by the late
Radical legislature of Missouri, exempt:
church property and cemeteries, except those
belonging to the Roman Catholic church
from taxation. From the tenor of the de
bate thereon it is clear that the act was in
tentionally so worded as to leave CathOli,
church property subject to taxation.

If everybody there, exclusive of the grave

make just $500 folks; but there may b
more. How many are there friend Middle

THE SITUATION" IN TENNEssEE.-W
have made but slight reference, if any
to the condition of affairs in Tennessee, an
merely allude to it now as part of the cu1
rent political news of the season.
The Radicals in the Legislature insistn
upon pressing the Franchise BILL mea.
ure which would disfranchise every perso
in the State who had aided the Contederat
cause, the Conservative members of the lowe
House-twenty-one in number-resigneC
thereby leaving the House without a quorum
and necessitating suspension of all legisli
tive proceedings Elections have been hel
to fill the vacancies, and thus far appear t
have resulted generally in favor of the Coz
servatives the resigned members in son
cases having been reelected, and in othe
successors of the same political compleXic
chosen, though Radicals are understood
have been elected in some instances. II
feeling of the Radicals can be understood
the following, one of the resolutions pass'
by a meeting at Knoxville which was a
dressed by Gov. Brownlow:
p,,y5,ed, That all persons who voluntari
engaged IN, and aided and abetted the Ia
rebellion against the authority of the Unit

cial or Congressional officers; that those on
who have been found faithful to the nation
cause in the hour of peril shall occupy DO,
lions OF honor, trust and profit under our G
gained and re-established State Cover
ment; that we believe that unless the UniC
men of Tennessee disfranchise the rebels, Il
rebels will disfranChise them.
