= L. H. E.l

The Jefferson Journal, in its rst number, issued
this morning, has the follov ring notice of a
gross outrage by ear-driver:
As we were coming up tow yestereay morning
in the city railroad car No. a. (star and when
near the Magazine market, the driver suddenly,
and without any apparent c ause, hurled billet Of
wood about two feet in Il ,ngth at young man
who was in the act of leav ing the car 1t struck
him on the abdomen md leg, and it was with
great difficulty that he as enabled to limp as far
as the sidewalk, where le had to sit down. The
| driver then whipped up his mule and got away as
| fast as possible 1t see ms he thought the young
| man had not paid his are but we saw him pay
it ourselves. Suppose !, even that he did not pay
his fare, is that JUS reason why he should be
treated in that mann err? If the young man wishes
legal redress, he procure two witnesses to this
outrageous treatm .ent by calling at this office.
Such things do no happen with our cardTiveTs IN
Jefferson City; Il leY are always polite and gentle-
manly.

Insure Your Stock.

We invite attention to the advertisement
Of the Tennessee Live Stock Insurance Co,
of which our worthy young friend, R. w.
BILEs, is agent for Giles county. Major
GLOVER, the travelling agent-who comes
well endorsed by the Union and american
as a reliable and trustworthy gentleman
assures us that the company is fully able
and determined to fulfill their obligations
in good faith
In these times of thieving it seems to US
that it would be we'll for our citizens to in
sure their stock. We invite attention to
the following paragraph from the Union and
american:
zone of the most timely enterprises Of
the day is the Tennessee Live Stock Insu-
rance Company. The design and plan Of
this Company is fully set forth in their
advertisement in our columns. The insu-
rance against the larceny of live stock has
been great desideratum in this country
since the war closed, and would have sa we'd
our farmers in the aggregate many thous-
ands of dollars. But there is another fea-
ture that is especially noticeable. 1t is the
system which it inaugurates of pursuing
and catching horse-thieves. In this respect
it becomes a general public benefactor. 1t
exerts a power and subserves purpose,
which the ordinary processes of the law and
its agents have failed to exert. It comes in
aid of the law in the protection of the citi-
zen in his property. Its very existence will
deter thieves and prevent many man from
losing his stock which might otherwise be
stolen. 1t should be supported and sus
tanned by all who feel any interest in the
moral and pecuniary interests of the coun-
try. 1t will commend itself at once to the
favor of our people, we feel sure; aud it is
entitled TO their confidence since it is home
institution, its officers and stockholders be-
ing citizens of Tennessee.

''Dear President: 1t is all right and all

Another dispatch from Mr.. Seward, to
an officer of the Government, under same
date, says:
"All right. The work is done. The
country is safe. The Administration is
established. Its enemies are nowhere.
Look for me on Monday, unless you hear
that I come sooner. VIM. H. SEWARD"

The Peace Proclamation.

Washington correspondents say that the
President no longer makes State secret of
the fact that he will in a very short time is
sue an official proclamation declaring the
late civil war ended When he does this
he viii have accomplished the last and the
highest act which the Executive department
of the Government can perform toward the
restoration of peace.
He cannot compel Congress to admit
Rep resentatives from the Southern States
but his proclamation will subordinate mil
itary to civil authority, and place all the
States composing the Union upon footing
of equality in that respect.
The privilege Of the writ of ha5eas corpus
will then be within the reach Of the hum
blest citizen of the South, and our State
governments will become supreme within
the limits of the States for the protection OF
whose citizens they were organized.
Martial law, which now reigns supreme
in eleven States, will then only be potent for
the control and punishment of those who
are connected with the army, in the manner
defined by the Articles of War.

Spring--Gardening

Now, that the cold, frosty winter has
passed away, and gorgeous springtime is
here, housekeepers commence gardening
vigorously Who can afford to be without
asparagus, lettuce, radishes, beets squash
es, melons, cucumbers, parsnips, carrots,
tomatoes, potatoes, CORA, and so forth?
Then there are the beauteous flowers
emblems of virtue and purity! A home is
no more complete without them than a
library without books. Girls, would you
win the heart of that young man? Adorn
your home with flowers Make it lovely,
and it will be evidence to linn of your own
loneliness.
Wife, would you retain the love of your
husband? Strew his path with flowers.
Would you reclaim that dissipated lord?
cultivate in him love for flowers, and ap-
proach him with that spirit of gentleness
and goodness which flowers generate; learn
how to love the pure and the beautiful. and
he will love his cups less. Do we magni-
fly the magic influence of flowers? No, it
were impossible to magnify the beauties and
uses of those humarizing messengers.
Then let your home be surrounded with
these embIems of love and heaven. Go to
gardening; plant your seeds, set out your
shrubs and go to work.

But when the negro is on a rampage, and

Another Speech by the President.

announcer speech by Gne president.
On Thursday, 1st inst, a committee from
the mass meeting recently held in Balti-
more, waited upon the President and con-
graduated him on the recent endorsement of
his policy by the country. The President
said in reply that he could not make any
speech. 81 will simply say" continued
the President, "that my policy, to which
you have alluded as before the county,
was not announced as the result of impulse,
nor was it thrown out for any ad capitapadana
purposes. 1t was announced as the result
of conviction, Of mature consideration, as a
necessary consequence of the principles
upon which this Government rests. That
policy, which I honestly regard as be-
ing best for the country, will continue be-
fore the people, without the slightest devil
alton, and without being swerVed from on
my part. I do not say this in a spirit of
menace or threat to anybody, but simply to
give assurance that there will be no aban-
donment and no shrinking from that policy;
because it is believed that the very exist
ence and perpetuity of the Government de-
pend on the maintenance of the principles
which have thus been enunciated.
now stand precisely on the same ground
[ stood on in the Senate on the 9th g. 18th
of December, 1860 I know that it has
been said, and no doubt by many design
eddy said, that here is a President who was
elected by party, and who on coming into
power, abandoned that party--that he
ha ylerized his Administration

from the discharge OF my duty. Butifyou
and I, with others, have been employed for
four years in resisting a separation and dis
solution of the Union, and now have reach
a point when resistance has ceased, if we
can be instrumental in conciliating and in
bringing back all the people to an honest,
loyal and thorough support of the Govern
ment, it seems to me we are doing good
deed and accomplishing the work we I'M
dertook''
If the radicals, who are so industriously
engaged in traducing the President, can
find any crums of comfort in the above ex-
tract, they are welcome to them. It gives
the lie most emphatcally to the slanderous
insinuation that the President was drunk on
the 22d of February, and that he would re-
greet his sayings that day after he got sober.
