disadvantages and hindrances, both as
to funds and laborers. Two or three
ministers belonging to the Southern
Presbyteries have declared their in

great work of teaching and evangel9

3 The committee reports public opin-
ion IN the South as being against their
work, and states that direction was
given to all Superintendent to plant
and conduct their Churches and
schools as far as possible with view
to their successful operation after the
military power shall have given place
to the civil authority; hence to avoid
such alliance with the military as
might give reasonable cause of obiec-
ton on the part of the legal owners of
the soil. Our missionaries almost
invariably have labored without SYM
pathy or encouragement, and In many |
cases female teachers have been COM
PEELED to find homes in the cabins of
the colored people In most parts of
the South whoever attempts to teach |
this people will be cut off, for the |
present, from friendly association with
the white race. We are happy to re-
port, however, decided improvement
in this respect Through the opera
ton of variety of causes, the schools /
for the freedmen are becoming popu
lar in many parts of the country. In
some places the people have deter
mined to labor for no planter who
will not sustain schools for their
children. The Committee also refer
to the. difficulties of placing the mis-
sions under the control of Southern
and finally recommend that
the Presbyterian effects and funds
should be husbanded and used MAIN
" for these two purposes, viz: For
erecting houses of worship. and for

Convention OF johnson Soldiers and
Sailors,

A Convention of small number of Soldiers and
Sailors of the Union Army, has just been held at
Cleveland Ohio and done t0hat Il ,oas called to do,
endorsed Andrew johnson. There were some good
men and good soldiers in the Convention, who were
actus.ed by patriotic motives, but will find they
have erred in Judgment. The controlling spirits of
the Convention are notorious Copperheads.
The permanent President was Gordon Granger,
who was selected by the President to be Provision
al Governor of this State, after the deposition Of
Gov Brownlow, which johnson had determined
upon when our members were admitted to seats in
Congress.
Gen. Custer was witness, several months since,
before the reconstruction committee of Congress he
said under oath after having just returned from
commanding in Texas that the spirit of disloyalty
was rampant, and Union men were not secure in
the South In word his whole testimony was a
powerful argument against the Presi dents "Policy'
and in favor of Congress.
Mr.. johnson promoted the General from Cap
taincy TO Lieutenant Colonel in the regular army
Then the General turns up in johnson Cow cntions
at Philadelphia and Cleveland.
On the 10th of next month, an immense Conven-
ton Of Soldiers and Sailors favorable to Congress
aud opposed TO Johnson will be held in Pttsbu re-,
Pennsylvania. This Convention will truly repre-
sent the sentiments of nearly all the Soldie and
Sailors of the REGULAR and ValyptesSs ASpieS of
the United States. Very few of them endorse An
drew johnson.

Andrew Johnson on Conservatism and
the Constitution.

IL 1855 in the United States Senate Andrew
Johnson tGliGs "the Moses of the colored race ~
now President Of the United States, made speech
in which he bitterly denounced Conservatism. The
speech be found in the Congressional Globe FIST
session, 35th Congress. Many johnson men in
Knoxville have this Globe. Andrew said:
CONSERVATISM! II Is THE ARGUMENT OF DEs-
FoTs AND TYRANTs, ONE THAT ENTAILS AN EXIST
ING INSTITUTION IN lis PRESENT FORM, WHETHER II
BE RIGHT OR WRONG"
No Radical ever denounced Conservatism more
strongly than the President has. We admit the
speech proves he has changed, for he is roo Con-
servative but it shows what Andrew agas.
Andrew more bitterly denounced that class Of
men who ITO use his own language pirate about
the Constitution than he has those who have prated
about Conservatism. In speech at Nashville, in
1854 which was intended to further his claims for
the nomination for Vice President, Andrew John
son said:
WHENEVER YOU FIND A MAN ANY
WHERE PRATING ABOUT THE CONSTI-
TUITION OF THE UNITED STATES, SPOT
HIM; HE'S \ TRAITOR"
In this speech Andrew went further than we do.
We don't believe all men are traitors who pirate
About the Constitution Unquestionably all trail
tors pirate about II, and many so-cuLLed Union men
who do SO are and have all the time been traitors.
The cry of the Constitution is the theme of the
Johnson orators It is all they talk about, and in
their public meetings they should pass resolution
denouncing johnson as slanderer until he rstracts
this declaration or they should declaring that
he is consistent and true to the professions on which
the loyal people elected him.

A Boy Struck Blind for Blasphemy.

The vengeance of the Almighty was visited on u
boy named Richards, on Sunday week, says an
English paper, in the most awful and sudden man
ner. 1t appearpd that the lad who is thirteen years
Of age, and the son of parents in the most humble
circumstances, playing in the street with four
or five other lads about his own sge at "cat and
dog Richards and his companions had been
playing for some time, when dispute arose be-
tween them as to the "notches" Tor jumps Rich
ards had scored. He declared that he had made
more than twenty and his opponents protested that
he had not scored so many.
High words and bad language were freely used on
both side. Each boy accused the other of false
hood, and at length Richards, failing to convince
his companions of the truthfulness of his statement
few into violent rage and emphatica1ly shouted,
MAY God strike me blind if l haven't made more
than twenty" He had scarcely uttered the adju-
ration before he let the dog" drop out Of his hands
