The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1866-11-09

The New York San, under the head of
Impeachment next" thus traces the de-
mands OF the Radicals:
At first they only required the preserva-
ton of the Union; then they demanded
freedom for the slaves; then they wanted
certain guarantees for the protection of
the freedmen, and so on, until they reached
the present point, when they require the
South to coufer the suffrage privilege upon
the freedmen.
1t Is somewhat doubtful what position
they will next assume, but We shall not be
greatly surprised to end them following the
leadership of Wendell Phillips, in demand
ing the impeachment of President Johnson.
Phillips is the real leader Of the Radical
party, although he is usually few months
in advance of the main body. He was the
first to cry out for emancipation; be was
/ the first to demand suffrage for the freed
men, and now he is the 6rst to declare in
favor of impeachiDg the President.
Does any one suppose that the Radicals
would be content, even If the constitutional
amendment were adopted by every Southern
State? Is ii supposed by any one that they
would then be willing to accord representa-
ton to the Southern States? No; the party
is necessarily aggressive. It must go on
from one degree Of Radicalism to another
until it is stopped in It's course, and then
! its end will come.
The conservative people Of the country

it before great mischief be done, they have

With this desl conception of the charao-

ladies necesssily aim only at the acquisi-
tion of corfesI Ionding qualifications. They
aim at sentim ntality and romance, instead
of substantial common sense and permanent
useful iuformstion. The result is, an exu-
berance of satisfaction during the halcyon
days of courtship, and the eacchar1ne hours
of the honeymoon; but when the angel of
a wife snksldes, in short time, into the
iBcsI blssaanesgie partner. and the 'love
8soai degeuerates into the satiated

'remofse. of melancholy, of mutual reof1uf-

Who has not seen instances of Just such
calamity? Whose experience is not fraught
with some such scenes of anguish? And
yet how slight an element of hope would
alter the picture-how small knowledge
of the business relations of life-how little
an acquaintance of those homely arts which
enable the feeblest by their industry, spirit,
taste, or remunerative enterprise, to COM
plelely change the view, cheer up the de-
spondent, add silver lining to the cloud
of grief, and produce vision of comfort, il
not of independence.

The Lynchburg T5rginian. Of the 18th

returned COufsderate:''
The latest. and perhaps the last to come
returned Confederate was in this city Satur-
day, direct from she late enemy's prisons.
His experience since the surrender has
been both eventful aud tragic.
Soon after the termination Of the war he
was. with other prisoners, at Jonhson's
Island. liberated, but was not furnished
with transportation. Being without money,
he was at loss how to get home, which is
in Augusta county in this State, near Staun-
ton. He. however, made his way into In-
diana, afoot, and in passing through town
of that State, went into hotel, thinAiBg he
might meet with some one who would give
him aasistanse.

talking about the war, and among other
things, said that he had taken an oath to
kill every one of Ashby's men he ever met
with.
Without stopping to weigh the coDss-
quences our returned hero spoke up, on the
impulse of the moment, and said he was
one of Ashby's men.
The officer at. once drew a pistol aud
fred on him three times, each ball taking
effect; but not in vital points.
The Confederate, like a wounded lion,
rushed upon him, wrenched the weapon
from his grasp and shot the officer dead
with remaining ball. He was then ar
rested and thrown into prison, where he
suffered long months of confinement. and it
was only very recently that he was brought
to trial, which resulted in his ual aequit-
tai. He then started again for home, and
reached here SATURDAY. morning by the
Tennessee train. He stopped at the Nor
veil House, where he was recognized by
gentlemen who knew him and Youch for
his respectability. He also had with him
copy of the records in the trial properly
authenticated, corroborating his statements.
He was furnished with assistance aud start
ed for his home Sunday morning.
This last retured Confederate's name is
Simpson, and he was a member of Ashby's
command, while that knightly chieftain rode
his wondroUs rounds, and was the first 70
