A Yankee, who is living In North
Carlina, deDounces, in the columns
of the Raleigh Standard, the act OF
the authorities there In preventing
the negroes from bearing banners on
the LIST inst, when they celebrated
the emancipation. The reason given
Tor the prohibition was that the APP
.peerance OF flags in the negro pro-
cession might cause disturbance.--
The Yankee is not disposed to admit
the right of anybody to hinder Amer
ican citizens from carrying the Stars
and Stripes, and his observations take
n pretty wide scope, as for example:
The State has voted The act OF se-
cession nullity, hence they have
voted that the rebel flag was an ille-
gal one. Negroes labored and fought
TO conquer it--negroes were made to
labor to support it. Ii they wish to
glorify over its fall, how far may they
do so without offending the people
who have voted 1t to have been ille.

nearly home, how far may rejoice
over its fall without offending the
people of North Carolina2

the Yankees present, who are here
not to consulate, but to be conciliated.
We accept a man for what we find
him to be, and not an atom, more or

in keeping out Of our hearts a hate
for u people who have made spch a
bloody and expensive effort to dena-
uonalize US on the soil where we had
been proud once to call ourselves
Americans. Now, we wish to know,
after all our wounds, our expended
treasure, and death Of our dearest
relatives, how far we may be permit
ted to rejoice over victory without
being mobbed by loyal Carolinians." !"
This idea that it is the Yankees
who are TO be conciliated is one that
has not often been expounded to the
people of any rebel State. We COM

Why \ CAT WASHES AFTER EATING
Perbably our young readers have
noticed that cats wash their faces af-
ter eating, instead Of before, as peo-
pie do. Now, We will tell you the
cause of this. When the first cat
was made, she went out into the fields
hunting for birds, and one day she
caught II swallow, and brought it
home. You've got dirty face said
the swallow, you should wash it be.
fore you eats and the cat was foolish
enough tonrop the bird so that she
could wash her face, and away went
the swallow. The cat was vexed at
the manner in which she had been
outwittcd, and exclaimed, 'henceforth
I will eat first and wash afterwards
and the VOW is faithfully kept by all
cats.

a fayorite temperance lecturer
down South used TO relate the follow
ing anecdcte TO illustrate the inhunce
OF bad example in the formation oil
habits, ruinous in their effect:
Adam, and Mary his wife, were
very good members of the church
good sort Of folks any way, quite in
dustrious and thriving in the world.
Whenever the minister called to
make Mary visit, which was often,
she contrived TO have a glass of good
toddy made, and the Minister never
refused TO imbibe.
After Il while Adam got to follow
ing the example ofthe minister to such
an extent that he became drunkard
drank up everything he had and all
he could get. Mary and Adam became
very poor in consequence OF his fol
lowing the minister example so close
ly, but the good minister continued
still to get his glass OF toddy. One
day he called in and told Mary he was
going away for a week-should return
ON Friday-and handed her book
containing the catechism. and told
her when he returned he should cx-
pect her to answer the questions.
Mary said yes, and laid away the book
carefully. But Mary, like many 9th
crs, forgot it until the very Friday
that the good minister was to return.
What shall dop" said she, the
minister is TO be here to-day, and |

81 can tell you" said Adam, "givo
me quarter, and let me go over
TO Smiths and get some rum, and
you can answer him with a glass OF
toddy." -a9f .a
Mary took the advice, gave Adam
a quarter and jug, and oil he started
After getting his jug lillcd, and on his
way back, Adam concluded TO taste
the rum. One taste followed another
until he tumb!ed over pile ofroclSs
and broke the jug and lost all the rum.
Adam managed to stagger home.
Soon as he got into the house
Mary asked very anxiously about
the rum.
Poor Adam managed TO stammer
out that he stumbled over pile oi
rocks and spilled the rum. rs.H .a
Mary was in llX-Adam drunk
the minister coming-the rum gone
and the questions unlcarned. But
here comes the minister IT won't
do for the man Of God to see Adam
drunk so she, for the want of a better
place TO ht,le him, put him under
the bed. BY time that he was fairly
under, in came the minister After
sitting a few moments he asked Mary
if she coGld answer the question,
''How did Adam fall?
Mary turned her head first one way
and then the other, and finally STAN
mercd out; "IIe fell over Il pile OF
rocks.n
1t was now the minister's turn To
look blank, hut he ventured another
question; Nv here did he hide himself
after the fall7"
Mary looked at the minister, ther
at the bed, but finally she spoke on
with-."Under the bed, siri There
Adam, you may come out; he knows
all about it,"
The good minister retired--no
even waiting for his glass Of toddy.

A Diflrreucc.

John Brown made an unlawful at
tempt to destroy slavery, which re.
suited in the killing of a dozen men.
He was arrested, tried and hung.
Jefferson Davis made an unlawful
attempt to pcrpetuate slavery, which
resulted in the death Of million men.
lie il in durance vile, but from pres
ent indications, stands hundred
chances of being the next President,
to one Of being hung. From all Of
which we gather, that it is treason
worthy of death to take up arms
against slavery, and no treason to
take up arms for its perpctuation.-
If Jefferson Davis is not hung, the
execution of John Brown was cold
blooded, unjustiliable murder Toie-
do B ade.

It is a fact that those fnanciers who
want credit, and are known to be reliable,
get it where money is and is to be had,
viz: in the Northern cities.
The people, conquered and sutdued,
have gone to work. If the merchants of
Tennessee cannot help them, then in Gods
name, why do they not get out of the way
and let capitalists come in who can help
them.
Cincinnati, Louisville, New York and
other cities are absorbing the trade of the
South, and why? Because they have the
capital. Much of that capital would come
to Tennessee, if our merchants would en-
courage it to come. Or, if it would not
come, our merchants, If unable themselves

The above are truthes, told plainly, can

The people of this country have suffered

small-minded commercial men, who are
endeavoring to perpetuate system of OPP
preston, which, however justifable during
war, owing to the uncertainty of its for

And wished full oft to see
The one who in that long ago,
Had been so dear to me.
He came again: he clasped my hand,
As tenderly as Of yore;
His touch caused not my heart to throb,
It thrilled my pulse no more.
He went, and with smiling lip,
saw him then depart.
The world is wide, and we henceforth
Win tread its path apart.
