Injustice to Federal Soldiers.

Whatever candid Secessonists may think OF the
cause for which Federal soldiers fought and Union
men commended, they cannot but express condemns
ton Of the manner in which they treated by the
Southern people, and even in two-thirds of the
State Of Tennessee. 1t is well ascertained fact
tina. nearly ell Federal soldiers and avowed Union
men who are brought 10 trial before rebel jurors in
Middle and West Tennessee, are convicted of all
they are charged with, and even more and senten-
ced to the State Prison for the longest term known
10 the law. 1t is only necessary 10 prove that e
man, white or black, has been in the Union army,
or that be gave aid and comfort to the Federal
army, TO secure his conviction. 1t is not Saying
much for rebel jurors when we make these grave
charges, but the facts nevertheless that wayand
regularly demonstrated in most of the counties
Of Middle and West Tennessee
We have in the penitentary something less than
400 convcts and st least Is per centof the number
there because they hare been Esioa men, and are
negroes. The injustice is So great and SO palpable
that the Governor is having the whole matter in
vestigsted, with view to their discharge from con-
inamant

H0n0rs to the Memory Of Horse
Thief

Some precious specimens of loyalty are exhibited
in Kentucky. For example the Cynthiana News,
paper head and ears in love with the Constitution,
and most devotedly attached to the administration
of Andrew johnson and the Phiiadelphia Conven-
ton, said:
Last Tuesday was the nth of July -Four years
ago, that day, General j. II. Morgan captured Gym
thians and relieved the people Of the military sa-
traps who had been lording it over them. Let the
memory of Morgan live green in the hearts of Ken
tuckians
The first Tuesday in September will be the fourth
day of the month. Two years ago, that day." in
Fest Tennessee, General j. H. Morgan was shot and
killed by Andrew Campbell private soldier in the
18th East Tennessee Cavalry, and this Eden of
Southern loyalty was relieved of the brutality Of
the greatest horsethief who hiss ever figured in the
tide of time" Morgan headed force of 1900
men and six pieces of artillery. The force which
killed him and routed his command numbered loo
men, and consisted of the 18th and 9th East Ten.
nessee Cavalry, and battalion of the gallant 10th
Michigan, with t,Co pieces of artillery. "Let the
memory" of the patriot soldier who rid our State
of the great horsethief live green in the hearts
of loyal men everywhere

Andy Past and Present, or has He Be-
deemed His Pledges J

We propose to take up only three Of his many
pledges and see if they redeemed
"were President Of the United States wouldar-
rest you traitors try you traitors, and If con-
victed, hang you as traitors"
He has arrested some of them, but released all
but JEFF Davis He has tried none, and of course
hung none for treason.
"Treason must be rendered odious, and traitors
punished and impoverished"
Rewarding treason by giving traitors the offices
in preference to Union men, does not render treason
odous, but respectable. Is he impoverishing them
by giving them from 5000 to sloo 900 per year. the
proceeds of Offices
Query-Is this good way to impoverish per-
SOM guess nobody would object to being impov-
erished in that way.

1t does look like he meant the opposite Of what
he said in each and every one OF these celebrated
declarations. When he says "tresson must be made

The Sinking Shin,

REYNOLDS member Of the House, and proprie-
Tor Of the New York Times stated in d speech in
Washington that when he signed the call for the
johnson meeting in Philadelphia, il August, he I'M
dsrstood il was 10 DO U1soT; meeting, but that he
had been deceived, it was TO be a Democratic
Rebel concern, and that his paper would no longer
support it. Gov. Coz, OF Ohio, who for time ia
vored my policy turns from it in disgust Every
where Union are deserving the tory-rebel
ern standard Of johnson by thousands and the vote
against him in both branches Of Congress is grow
ing stronger every day. The revolution is going on
in the States among the real people. Here in Ten
nessee be is loosng ground every day. The people
are fleeing from johnson as rats do from burning
barn They quit nay policy" as they would a
sinking ship. The man has now got no party. A
few creatures pretend to be his friends who hold Of
Zee under hin. The rebels Of the South pardoned
By him are professedly bis friends but at heart they
have no respect for him. He pretended friendship
70 the Irish Fenians and then deceived them, and
that large element is against him. The negroes
have been deceived by him, and they have not only
lost confidence in him, but have all turned their
backs upon him. He is literally used up and left
without any party, except the remnant Of the old
Disunion Breckenridge party, he advocated in 1850,
and up &c the day of Lincoln's first election.

Col. AShby Again,

Tne Atlanta papers ststea that Ashby left here on
horse back after he was baled cut and that he had
passed through the mountain on horse back to avoid
the vengeance of the Brownlowites
After we had learned more about she outrages
committed by this man. we we're sstonished that he
should have dared to show himself in this, or any
other county Of East Tennessee. He turns out to
have been one Of the very worst men in the rebel
army. Cruelty robbery and murder were amuse-
nens in the psrpetration Of which he took hellish
delight The very devil Of rebellion was N him,
and he acted him out in ali the malice Of the most
internal Glass Of rebels.

Vallandigham on Secession.

q. L. Vallandigham, at the Cooper's Institute on
the 10th of November 1850, used the following Ian
guage:
"If any one more OF the States OF this Union
should at any time secede for reasons the sucency
of which, before God and the great tribunal of his
tory they (the seeded States) alone may Judge
much as l would deplore it l NEVER WOULD
as representative in Congress of the United States
OF America vote one dollar Of money whereby one
drop of American blood should be shed in a civil
war to maintain this Union"
This man is leader ef the Johnson Democratic
party in Ohio, and will figure largely at the Phila-
delphia conclave. He will be more than acceptable
to the Tennessee Copperheads, who, with this Ohio
traitor are alike Jealous for the Policy of john
son

In letter recently received by q person in this
place from Connecticut and which is dated July
18th, an account is given of the remarkable effects
of lightning in town of that State short time
previous. The description Of the occurrence Is 50
interesting as to justify its publication The writer
states: "Last Sunday week, during thunder
storm the lightning struck FIVE times at Forestville,
part of Bristol Mr.. Charles Writings house
was struck twice. The first time ne was killed in
stantly His Only child little boy four years old,
ran to his mother saying: ave are not hurt, moth
err" and got into her lap for protection. By the
second stroke of the lightning he too was killed. and
his mother injured that but slight hopes are en-
ter.ained of her recovery. The house was badly
torn to pieces and set fire. but the neghbors ex-
tinguished the flames. Mr.. Whiting was found sit
ting in his chair, dead, with his arms folded"

Important Decision OF Chancellor
Steele-LiabilIty OF the Directors Of
the Bank OF Tennessee for Losses In
Removal or Deposits I'm 1S61-Oyer
100000 Saved TO the State.

A decision has just been made by Chancellor
Steele at Shelbyvile, in the case of the State of
Tennessee vs. the Directors of the State Bank which
will excite profound interest throughout the State
and which, if affirmed, it doubtless will be, will
have most salutary influence upon the value of
the notes of the State Bank. The Directors have
property sufficient to make good the losses, which
exceed million of dollars. The letter before US,
dated Shelbyville, July IL, 1885, says:
<'On yesterday Chance llor Steele made decision
in the of the State of Tennessee against the D
rectors of the State Bank, members of the Legisla
ture of 1862 and others who aided in removing
the assets of the Bank in this place. Various pleas
in abatement were made by the defendants-to the
jurisdiction of the Court-to the authority of Mr..
Maynard as Attorney General of the State etc.
all of which the Chancellor decided against the de-
PENDANTS. They then demurred to the bill upon
various grounds, such that they not respon-
sible to the State-that they acted in good faith
that the people of the State had gone for secession
and that the members of the Legislature were not
responsible for heir official acts pecuniarily.
1.-THE Chancellor annulled the demurrer, holding
that all directors and others, whether directors
OF, including members of the Legislature, who
rried off the assets aided, counseled advised
to it, responsible to the State for all losses
tanned thereby.
This settles the question of law so far as the
Chancery Court is concerned. The defendant have
to answer and there is no doubt that several per-
sons besides the directors will be held responsible
and that decree ,0U be obtained for lcbatsrcr lcas
lost By the remorGL of The assets"
We are informed that Hon. VIM. II. Wisener of
Shebyvile, appeared in behalf of the State and
conducted his case with signal ability. The dec-
sion of Chancellor Steele is spoken Of as one of
great ability and it treats of matter in which
many of citizens as we'll the State are deep
ly interested, we hope that the copy of it will be
furnished for publication. The Supreme Court will
no doubt sustain the decision and thus at least one
million of dollars more will be saved to the State
by the energy and resolution of Governor Brown
lows administration. The swindlers' organs of
course will raise furious cutlery it. but it will
not avail The State Government has got the plum
erers of the people in its clutches, and they must
disgorge the last cent which they lost the State
er Harris rotten administration.
