A BosN CoPPERHEAD IN KENTUCKY. =
The HopkinsvilIe Ky Constitution, Of April
Doth says:
son respectable authority we state that a
lady residing at Fairview, in this county,
gave birth, some six weeks ago, to child
that was a most singular compound Of man
and reptile. The lower portions ofthe child
are natural in their formation. and partske OF
The characteristics of the genus homo, but the
body and the head are similar to the body
and head Of the rattlesnake. The mother,
every time she j, compelled to give nourish
ment 10 the child. IS thrown into commissions.
The singular formation of this creature Ii
thus accounted for; Some time during preg'
nancy, rettlesnake attacked and greatly
frightened the mother of this creature, bnl
fortunately, however. did not iujure her. Al
the dateof writing the child is sill alive. LIS

A TuaKrsn NrRo.-A letter from Constan.

q A TuRKrsH NERo.-A letter from Constan-
tinople says that while his empire is crumbs
ling about his ears the sultan takes things re-
markably easy. He rises in the morning
about 10 o'clock, and sends fortwo of his
favorites IN the Palace, who entertain him
while ard go with him to visit his horses in
his private theatre, which he has transformed
into stable. After this he goes to bis new
meusgerie, where he is having a sort of
Crystal Palace built for an ayisry, at a cost
of quarter of million of dollars. Thence
he generally goes to "a kiosk near by, where
he amuses himself by shooting al mark
with q ride, pistol. or bow. He comes back
in the afternoon, dines, smokes, and soon
after d ,tk retires 10 the harem. Il is seldom
that he hears anything about political affairs,
and wlen be does he usually gets intp a
towering passion-so says q gentleman who
is constantly at the Palace.

The New York Times says of the late ele

The New York Times says of the late cleo
ton in that State:
"The election returns show clearly enough
that the Democrats made no effort to carry
the Constitutional Convention. They were
more than willing that it should be in the
hands Of the Republican party. No party
ever yet made itself any stronger by taking
the responsibility of a new Constitution upon
it's shoulders, no matter how good ii may be !;
but it is quite possible that one may be made
SO certain to encounter public hostility as to
strengthen the pnlty which takes ground
against il at the polls. This chance the Dem
ocrats have reserved for themselves; while
the Republicans, as the party which makes
it, are committed in advance to the support
Of any Constitution which may be framed.
In party point of view the Democrats have
clearly the strongest position.

airs as "DiGie," The Land we Love" "Con-

speeches will be delivered under the inspir-

praise of the hOnored chiefof the late Con-
federacy, and the heroes who fought its bat

nor, and wEo openly and boldly advocated
the eniranchiSement of every rebel in the
State.
White has his speech written out, and is
getting able to deliver II from memory, in
stead Of reading II from the book, as he set
out in doing. His speech was, as I under
stand, prepared by one John Baxter Of Knox
vile, whom White went to consult immedi-
ately after his nomination. In speaking Of
the school fund and an exchange Of the gold
returned by the rebels, for U. S. seven thirty
bonds, he reiterates the Baxter lie as uttered
at Cleveland Tenn, some time ago, in saying
that there were six hundred thousand dollars
in gold, instead Of four hundred and seventy
two. In this, as well as many other things
White lies with a recklessness not common
with men Of his station. He has no regard
for truth whatever, has discarded it entirely
from bis vocabulary, his speech consisting
principally in assertion without the shadow
Of evidence to prove them, though in this re-
spect he is the full associate of Emerson
Etheridge, John Baxter and others of the
conservative party.
The people of this county also held a con-
vention to-day to nominate a candidate on
the Radical ticket to represent the county in
the next General Assembly of the State,
which resulted in the unanimous selection
Of DR.. John B.. White who will carry the
county by three hundred majority, on the
first Thursday in August. Our victory is
sure and certain and let US make it as large
as possible. "JUsrlCE."

In another column we publish an eScoria.

State Committee from the pen of the Old
Thunderer. A bitter personal warfare hos
been going on between these parties for some
time, but we have published nothing hither-

know that Gov. Brownlow has the best Of the
fight and iS still maintaining his ground be-

Any thing that Baxter may say against
Gov. Brownlow has no weight with US for
having lived in East Tennessee for over a
quarter Of a century and being activity en-
gagged in public life all the time we know
him ourselves and from the concurrent testi-
mony Of the best citizens of the county to be
a man Of i~ncorruptible integrity, honesty
and truth. 3axter's unprovOked crusade
against him is to defeat him for Governor
and all the Copperhead and rebel papers in
the State are giving publicity to his sour
rilous and defamatory articles. Being a
warm supporter of Gov. Brownlow, we feel
d~uty-bound to publish bis refuta-

Senator P. P, G. Nelson,

This gentleman has just returned from the
Capital after a stay of six weeks or more.
He was one Of the committee on the i'm
parchment case of Judge Thos. N. Frazier.
He informs us that he is a candidate for re-
election, and will begin the canvass at an
early day. Mr.. Nelson was a Lleuten ant in
the army, rendered good service to his coun-
try, and has a military record without a
stain or blemish. His course as a legislator
meets the entire appreciation of his %constit-
uency and they will no doubt return him to
the Legislature. He voted straightout for all
the radical measures that cam before that
body the Franchise, School, and Military
bills. He is one Of those undaunted patriots
to whom the loyal people OF the State Of
Tennessee are indebted for their dcliyeIance
from rebel thralldOm and oppression. He.
las the interests Of the people at heart, and
will labor for their advancement, let .he re-
suits be as they may. We could say many
things in commentator of Mr.. Nelson, and
in support of bis claims but as he will soon
render an account of his stewardship to the
people, aud lay before them his policy as to
the future, we shall refrain.
We are sure of his triumph over every OPP
position and no one is more deserving Of
public favors than be.

The Militia" Breaking out In a
New Place.

Information from Bristol, on the line OF
Virginia and Tennessee, states that a perfect
reign of terror exists there in consequence
of the depreciation of a company of Brown
lows militia, who invaded the town. This
company numbers about one hundred, two
thirds Of whom are negroes. They are repre-
scented as brutal and lawless, and have Great
ed the greatest CONSERVATION among the in
habitants.
We copy the above from that delectq5lt
sheet the Standard Of Truth alias Nashvi lille
Gazette. 1t is a wilful, wicked and infamous
lie from beginning to end, and a SANDER up
on the company of Tennessee State
Guards stationed at Bristol. There is no
reign of terror there, and quiet and law
abiding citizens of all parties apprebend no
violence from the troops. They demean
themselves properly towards all and have
won the respect of all the best portion Of
the community. Not one single act of la,o-
]le5Snes8 and brutality has beeL committed,
lying kilograms from secret enemies to the
contrary notwitb standlng. Men who partic-
ipated in the rebe llion bear testimony to the
fact that a more quiet and better behaved
company Of soldiers can be found nowhere.
They are differed by men who have the best
interest of the country at heart and will
severely punish all offenders against law and
peace under their control.
