Tne Meeting Tonight.

r,a Veto by President JOHNSON OF
A., Freedmen's Bureau bill marks the
commencement of return to the prih-
c;plss of constitutional government
from which we have 50 sadly departed
during the past four years. 1t is the
bold and glorious act of man devoted
70 constitutional liberty and determin-
al TO do his part to secure the rights
of the people He has openly dehed
the conspirators who have been plot
: ting against the nations life and has
risked upon the issue of the conflict
all that man holds dear With the
congress in the hands of his enemies,
with one half of the party that elected
him hostile to his course, with the dan
ger of impeachment and deposition
from his high Office hanging over him,
he has dared to do right and
has staked the reputation OF a
life time upon single act. Never before
has this nation with essed such heroism
in the Presidential Office, and never
before has a President of the United
States, in the face of so many obstacles
borne himself so nobly Let him bs
nobly sustained.
he has appealed to the people, whose
champion heis; he asks the people fol
their support in 7indica ting the prin
siples of constitutional liberty and de-
Tending popular rights. And his appeal
shall not be in vain. From every city
and town and hamlet IN the land lei
the declaration 90 forth that the Presi.
dent is right, that the sovereign people
stand by him and will hold up his hands

I of Liberty, by organizing all tho ne

by this body" What do you want
to control them for? What project
have YOU upon foot2 Are you get
them up and organizing them iol
reasonable purposes? Iii written
"Thou shalt have no other God be-
side me-" Why is it, then, that you
allow the negro TO reign supreme in
your affections? John, the Revela-
tor, says that when the book was to
be opened and tho seal looscd, he
was about to fall down and worship
an angel, but the angel said "sce thou
do it not; | am Of thy brethren;
worship Cod Why then worship
the negro? 1t may be that you hon
cstly believe that the negro was
made in the image of God. But
then you are commanded not to
worshipimages. Now Mr.. NJ, ifyou
are not too tightly bound to the or
ganization spoken of by the CORES
pondent to the N. Y. Tribune, |
would advise you, and all the ne
groos in Parker, to withdraw from
It Immediately. 1t will do you no
good and perhaps get youinto trou-
bic.
Mr.. Flake, | understand, took OK
ceptions to my course in the Con-
vention in relation to the delegates
taking their seats who had not OBJ
tained special pardon. | never
thought of corresponding with Mr..
Flake previous to my action. ! was
of the opinion that man should
not be punished before found guilty
by due process of law, where he
could be confronted by the witness
es against him, and where he could
be heard by himself or attorney, or
both. Capt. Flake contended that
my argument was unfounded be-
cause | was hard favored. What an
ideal 1t is said the origin Of every
great idea is drawn upon the brain,
if such is the case, venture the as
sertion that the Captain, by this
time, hasn't moro brains than an
Opossum. The Captain is so in the
habit Of gazing into bad face,
Gather and shave that it would be
as natural for him to crouch before
an honest countenance as it is for
the spaniel to crouch before the an
CRY mastif.
Now gentlemen let me hear from
you at your convenience, | shall re-
main at home few months, and

NITRo-G l. Y CERlNE,-ACcldents
from the explosions Of this oil are
becoming numerous. The first one
occurred last winter in New York,
A second happened recently in Cal
iiornia, killing some seventeen pcr-
sons and destroying property to the
value of 100000; and another at
Aspinwall, by which fifty or sixty
lives were lost and large amount
of property destroyed,
What is nitro -glycorino2 Galig-
nani's Messenger gives the following
answer to this question; "Glyce.
rine is the sweet principle Of oil,
and is extensively used for purposes
of the toilet; but it has now received
an application of rather an uneX-
pected nature. In 1Si7, q pupil of
NJ. Pelouze's, NJ. Sobrero. discovered
that glycerine when treated with
nitric acid, was converted into n
highly explosive substance, which
he called itro-glycerine. 1t is oily,
heavier than water, soluble in alco'
hol and heir, and acts so power
fully on tho nervous system that q
single drop placed on top of the
tongue, will cause n violent head
ache, which will last for several
hours.
"This liquid seems to have been
almost forgotten by the chemists,
and it is only now that Mr.. Nablc, a
Swedish engineer has succeeded in
applying it to. n very important
branch of his art-namely, blasting.
From a paper addressed by him to
the academy Of sciences, we learn
that the chief advantages which this
substance, composed Of ono part of
glycerine and three parts Of nitric
acid, possesses, is that it requires n
much smaller hole or chamber than
gunpowder does, the strength of the
latter being scarcely one-tenth Of
the former. Hence, tho miners
work, which, according to the hard
ness of the rock, represents some
five to twenty times the power of
the gunpowder used, is so short that
the cost of blasting is often reduced
to fifty per cent
"The. process is very easy. If the
chamber Of the minc presents fis-
sures, it must be lined with clay to
make it water tight; this done, the
nitro -glycerine is poured. in, the
water after it, which being the light
er liquid remained at the top. A
slow match, with we'll charged
percussion cap at one end, is then
introduced into the nitro-glycerine.
The mine may then be sprung by
lighting the match, there being no
need of tamping. On the Tth Of
Jane last, three experiments were
made with this new compound in
the open part of the tin mines Of
Altenburg, in Saxony. In one OF
these chamber of thirty-four Mile
metres in diameter was made per-
pendicularly in q dolomitic rock,
sixty feet in length, and at dis
tance of fourteen feet from its ex-
tremity which was vertical. At q
depth Of eight feet vault filled
with clay was found, in consequence
of which the bottom of the whole
was tamped, having a depth Of sew
en- feet, One litre and half OF
nitro -glycerine was then poured in ;
it occupied five feet; match and q
stopper were then applied, as stated,
and the mine sprung. The effect
was so enormous as to make fs-
sure fifty feet in length, and anoth-
er twenty feet. ."-Shreveport South

A GRAND INVENTION.-We have
witnessed the performance Of one of
the blessings of the age, at the store
of Simpson, Branard Do Co. tits one
of Mendenhall's self-acting Hand
Looms. AS we cannot give a better
description of its many advantages
to our people, who have been worn
out, and their means exhausted in
the late war, we copy the following
from the st. Louis Dispatch:
"Whilst we are down upon all
humbugs, and impositions upon the
public in the shape of new inven-
tions that prove to be worse than
old ways and fashion for doing the
same thing it is an actual pleasure
to notice anything that has real mer-
it-something that will prove a pub
lie blessing whereveritis introduced.
Of this character is Mendenhall's
patent self-acting Hand Loom, sim
pie in construction, durable in-struc-
ture, easy of operation, and perfect
ilrits results. The simple turning
of crank, which may be done by a
child twelve years old, gives all the
force and motion required, and pro-
duces all the results of first-class
power loom. Every kind of textile
fabric, from fine linen or cotton. to
heavy rag carpeting, may be woven
on this loom in very superior style,
and with rapidity of execution that
would astonish some of the hard
working hand weavers of the coun-
try who manage tolbang out four or
five yards day. Any farmer who
wants loom at all, needs only to
see this to purchase one. If there
was ever time when such ma
chine as this was needed in this
country, that time is now. We have
just come out from the most stupen-
dous, expensive and exhaustive wal
of modern times. Every man in
the country who would maintain
independence or even decent com
petence, and at the same time bear
his portion of the public burden
must put away luxury and slight the
lamps of industry and economy
/ A well to do farmer, with this loon
in his house and a flock Of sheep in
his field, may laugh atthe high tar
ifs on fine muslin and broadcloths
and make it earn enough to feed al
well as elothe his family"

JUDGE OLDHAM's FORTHCOMING
BooK.-A correspondent of the New
York Herald, writing from Cordova,
Mexico, and describing the promi-
nent x-Confederates near that place
says:
Judge Oldham, formerly Chief
Justice of Texas, has turned photo
grapher, and is in, business IN thls
city. The Judge has also turned
author, and is engaged upon the last
sheets of a work entitled, "a Hlsto-
nv of n Journey from Richmond to
the Rio Grande, from March 30, to
June .26. 1865; or the Last Days Of
the Confederate States" This book
will cause a .eommotion as soon as
published, and will doubtless in
volve its author in some half dozen
fights. The Judge institutes an IN
a1iry into the causes that led to the
overthrow of the Confederacy, ana
traces them to the incompeteneey
and willfulness Of Davis, and the
corruption which, ifnot eonnived at,
was suffered to exist unrebuked IN
ali DeDortISents of Government. lle
is unsparing in bis expose, which bis
nositi6n as a member of the Conied-
crate Senate gave him ample oppor-
tupities Of making. He lashes Ger.
tain Cabinet Ministers and general
1 officers severely, and does not spare
President Johnson or Federal com.
manders. The book viii proy'

denee. as well as from its genera
( character, and be valuable assist

DEATH or EX GOVERNOR ALLEN
The brig Calliope, at Galveston,
from Vera Cruz, brings the melan-
choly intelligence of the death of
ox-Gov. Henry W. Allen from
wounds received in the Confederate
army.
The lamented deceased was re-
spected planter in Louisiana when
the Confederate war broke out. and
Immediately entered the army as
Colonel of the 4th Regiment ofvol-
untccrs, and rising to the rank of
Brigadier General, proved himself
brave man and gallant officer
Subsequently disabled by severe
wound, he was, on the expiration OF
Governor More's term, elected Gov
ernor of Louisiana, and held that
high office when the war closed
He was then at Shreveport, where,
learning that he was among the OK
cepted from amnesty, he crossed
Texas and Northern Mexico by way
of Monterey, to the city, and enga-
ged in the publication Of the MeXl-
can Times newspaper, in which he
was very suocessful Recently his
old wound broke out afresh, and he
would have sought medical advice
in Paris but he was unable to mako
the journey.
Gov Allen was a man Of enthusi-
astic temperament and generous
spirit, and possessed mind well
cultivated and stored with polite
learning. His death, so far away
from home and friends, is a sad one,
but his memory will ever be cher
ished by the people of Louisiana,
whom he served devotedly. His
administration Of the highest office
in her gist was able, earnest and
faithful. We presume that his re-
mains will be brought home for bu-
rial in the land and under the guar
dianship of the people he loved SO
well.-N. 0. PicdyaHe.

College on Lookout MOuntain--.EG-
tablsh0d by the Mupitioenee OF q
Single Individual, for the Educa'
toni Of the White Children OF tho
South.
We arc indebted to the New York
Observer for the following interest
ing and important intelligence:
"a wealthy Christian gentleman,
Of this city who is we'll known as
among tho foremost in every good
enterprise, Christopher II. Robert,
ESQ, tho founder of Robert College,
at Constontinople, which he endowed
with his own funds, has, for somo
months been in East Tennessee for
the purpose Of establishing a col
logo for the education of the white
children of the South. He has pur-
chased the whole of Lookout Noun
tain, the scenc Of one Of the most
hotly contested and important bat
ties in the late war, n splendid site
for such an institution, affording
splendid view of the Valley of the
Tennessee. He has also purchased
some four or five hundred acres on
Missionary Ridge, together with the
Government building, erected at an
expense of $l50,000, and either or
both sites will be occupied as may
seem most desirable. The buildings
already here will accommodate four
or five hundred pupils, and arrange
ments have been made for opening
the institution on the 10th Of May
next. 1t will be under the care of
Rev. Edward Williams, a graduate
Of Yale College and Of Princeton
Theological Seminary, who is q
scholar and clergyman Of expert
ence. Mr.. Robert having retired
from active business with an ample
fortue, is dcvoting himself quietly
but efficiently to the work Of doing
good, not only with his money, but
by personal effort. He is one Of
those good and wise men who choose
to be executors of their own estates
and thus secure the appreciation Of
the funds in the way that will ac-
conplish most for the ends that he
has in view
A nobler or more magnificent
charity could not well have been
conceived, and should, as doubtless
it will, hand down the name OF
Christopher Roberto an immortal
ity far more to be desired than that
of tho "Great Captains" who con-
tended for the military possession
of "Lookout," and whose laurels
were won by the slaughter of their
fellow man. "Futuro generations
will rise up and call him blessed =

WHAT THE SOUTH HAS LOST
Matthew f. Maury, ex-director OF
the National Observatory at Wash
ington, and present colonizer in
Mexico, has written a letter to the
London Morning Herald, in which
he gives the following estimate. Of
the losses Of the South, caused by
the war:
oI estimate the amount of the pc
cuniary losses incurred by the peo-
pie of the Southern Confederacy, in
their late attempt at independence,
to be not less than $1,000, 100000
(seven thousand millions of dollars)
namely:
By emancipation, $4,000, 100000
Expenses of the war, 2,0OO,O 900, 700

annum, equal to, six
percent interest on 1,OO0,OOO,0 200
Total, s7,0O0,000,00C
"Thisloss falls upon less than eight
millions of whites, who have, more
over, in addition, to contribute large
ly toward the support of the foui
millions of blacks who have sudden
ly been turned loose among them
