General Simon Cameron on President
Johnson.

A Radical meeting was held at Harrisburg, Pa,
on Wednesday last, at which General Cameron pre-
sided
"General Cameron, on taking the chair, brieay
alluded to the situation of public affairs contrasting
It as 1t existed now with what it vas year ago.
year ago, We were told by the mSi whom terrible
accident made President that traitors must and
would be punished. To-day that same man is plot
ting not merely to tighten the penalties of treason,
but actually to such recognition for traitors
as would give them precedence and power in the
Government which they did not possess before they
conspred for its overthrow. These facts could no
longer be concealed. Andrew Johnson's faithless-
ness to the policy and the party which made him
Vice President had become portion of the common
shame Of treason. 1t useless 10 deny it any
longer while those who sought its justification would
be compelled to share its odiam. General Cameron
then casually alluded to what had been and yet was
expected from the Governmental dealing with trail
tors. The people who saved the Government ex-
pected the odium of treason to rest forever the
orgnators of the late rebellion. If hundred lead
ing rebels had been seized at the end Of the wsr-f
JEFF. Davis and his Immediate associates had been
tried, convicted and hanged, the troubles would
have been over and the work of rehabilitation I'm
ished"

sTARTLING ACCOUNT OF AFFAIRS IN NEW ORLEANS
Washington dispatch to the Cincin natl Ga
zette says
"a number OF promising Unonists, just arrived
here from New Orleans, give startling accounts OF
the state of affairs in that city. Two instances will
show that the condition of society in Louisiana
and the results of the Inauguration of my policy
1.-TWO men, one of them Northern Unionist and
the other rebel, happened to get into political
discussion. Upon separating the rebel told the
Union man that he would kill him the next time
they met. In short time after in company with
his brother, this ruf3an met the Union man in q
saloon, when ne Immediately fired at him across
the table, and the two sho: and stabbed their vic
tim until there were seventeen bullet and knife
holes in his corpse. A Coroner's jury brought in
verdict of killed in self-defense.
THE murdered Dr. A. p Doste not long since
received notice that one of his friends, Union
man, living up the river had been shot and was
not expected to live DR.. Dostie went to see him,
but he died soon after his arrival. No notice was
taken of this murder.
IA gentleman who formerly served on Gen But
ler's staff, who has lately returned from New Or
leans says that not in six of the murderers of
Union men or freedmen are ever arrested
1T is stated by officers from the Southwest, that
there are only 1900 troops in the Department of
Louisans.
CoLD-BLooDED MASSACRE.
"Gen. Sheridan telegraphs to Gen. Grant to-day
that the riot in New Orleans was not the spontsne-
Gus outbreak Of an ordinary mob but the execution
of pre-arranged plan of the rebels to slaughter
the leading Union men Of the State; and that there
is evidence that this plot was concocted weeks ago.
THE Ass ociated Press dispatches from New Or
leans are glsringly false, and dictated by the
rebel State officials themselves.
"Gen. Sheridan expresses the opinion that the
riot is but the commencement Of the scheme to rid
Louisiana of Union men,"

last week, the death of Thomas a. Smiley, ESQ, an
old and much respected citizen of this city he
died, after protrscted Illness on Thursday the I'd
inst1 at the age Of sixtytwo years He was born at
Springfield, Vermont, the son of clergyman
Early in life he commenced a course of study for
the medical profession and had already made great
progress, when permanent loss Of health inter-
rupted and he abandoned his studies and Tor lime
engaged successfully in mercantile pursuits But
the continued pressure of illheath compelled fur
Their change The milder climate OF the South at
tracted him. And having gained some knowledge
of the then newly discovered Daguerrean art he
avsiled himself of it 10 furnish him, at once, with
occupation and with support. The result was that
most of his life was spent in the States of Virginia
North Carolina and Tennessee-the last twenty
years in Knoxville. He become proficient in the
art thus casually adopted keeping up with its ad-
vancement, and following it with an artists inter-
est and not unproatably, as long a. bis health per-
mitted
A member of the Presbyterian Church, he led
life OF consistent piety; was unwavering patriot
gentle husband and father; an excellent neighbor,
and has gone to the grave regretted by all who knew
him.

FRUIT.-Not long since an article appear
ed in the Wing on the unfavorable prospect
of fruit at tho North and East, and the IA
vorablc prospect in Tennessee. 1t being of
much Importance to the people of this Sec
ton, we mention it again, as it will be a
source Of revenue if attended TO in season,
as the larger portion Of the fruit was killed
North in the bud by the severity of the
winter, and what was left was much in
jured by the late spring, and the severe
frost the 18th of May, and wet weather in
June.
Now, if the people OF Tennessee will turn
their attention to drying fruit-which is in
abundance-they viii find ready market
for every pound they can dry, and at good
prices. See the advertisement of the APP
pie and Peach parers in another column.
They are recommended as the best machine
in the market, and claim to pare IL apples
in one minute, and pare, core and slice
in minute, ready for drying.

TIE Atlanta LstslIigepccr Of August 18th, con-
aims leader on the subject of Political and Re-
ligious Persecution in which the Governor of Ten
aessee is held up man, a" who in his vindictive
nature, has seized upon Churches, prosecuted the
ministers thereof, and in many ways violated the
fundamental principles of the Constitution"
We quote these remarks for the information OF
our home folks, and ask them to point out single
church in the State seized by the Governor. Church
es and whole congregations have gone over to the
old Northern Methodist organization. Perhaps they
blame the Governor for this. Preachers who sung
Dixie, made political speeches, and prosecuted
Union men, have fed the country and dare not re-
turn again. Perhaps they charge this upon the
Governor.

BrOWnlOW and johnson.

For many years before the war, Brownlow and
johnson were fierce and bitter enemies. There is
scarcely an abusive adjective in the language which
these men have not hurled At each other But at
the outbreak of the they both united in a stern
resistance to the rebellion and OF course were both
cordially hated by the secession leaders. Since the
accession of johnson to the Presidency, they have
again become enemies, and have lately been en-
gagged in desperate game of political strategy
johnson determined that the Constitutional Amend
ment should not pass the Tennessee Legislature and
Browniow determined that it should. The Presi-
dent descended to every species political intrigue
and Tnesse to prevent quorum of the Legislature
from assembling, and succeeded until the Governor
arrested the recusant members and enforced their
attendance and thus secured the quorum which
passed the amendment and Tennessee is once more
IN the Union. We never had any special admira-
ton for Brownlow man, but the victory he has
thus secured for the Union is of inestimabe mpor-
lance. We presume the triumph of Brownlow will
not make the feelings Of johnson toward him any
more cordial.
We should think the President would begin to be
somewhat discouraged at the i'll success of his po-
lltical strategy. The game seems to be blocked at
every point.-ALto" (N!) Telegraph.
