Thoughts Induced by the Outrage
Perpctratcd upon Nashville tho
2Sth Of September.
Truly, this is government of guns
and one cannot help but be impressed
with the melancholy fact that States 'rc
constructed" and ''readmitted into the
Union on the Jacobin plan, are to be
just as much under the government OF
guns as the provinces which are notyet
reconstructed. Let the people Of the
provinces take warming and never con-
sent to the plans or promises ofa par
ty devoid of principle. The Conserva-
tives in this State, thinking they had
some rights and some privileges of
self. government left them, ventured to
act accordingly,--but they are met at
the start, not only with radical State
militia, composed Of negroes and
"mean whites,") but also with the ar
my Of the United States.
What q melancholy proof Of the ut
ter inability Of the Jacobin party to es-
tablish stable government, guaran-
teeng peace and protection to life and
property. The Nashville Banner, in
noticing the late municipal farce in that
city, after speaking Of the crime OF
turning a city, full Of property owners
and tax payers, over to the rude mer.
cies Of outside passions and desires,
partizan faction, strangers, military
leaders, non-rcsidcnts and swarms of
ignorant negroes, who are tacilc instru
ments Of wrong and injustice, says;
We have no redress. We have, we
fear, little or no recourse. We submit
the case to the di3passonate consider
alton ofall persons III the North who
love liberty and still cling to Rcpubli-
can ideas and Il Republican form of
government. We ask them If this be
not despotism, what is dcspotism; ii
this be not military dict;,tion, what is
military dictation; if this be not injus-
ticc to every notion Of personal and
property interest, whore will you find it
on earth to-day? We can conceive no
innovation more terrible than the an
uulling of the charter OF a corporation
and the overthrow ofthe only lnstru-
mcnt which renders the property Of a
community secure At this rate the
Governor Of u State, aided by Federal
troops, may take possession Of every
bank and every railroad within his
reach, cXpcl the stockholders, intro
ducc mode Of suffrage which admits
negroes only, elect such persons to fill
the offices as he desires, dispose of the
effects and SO end the institution and
the interests Of those who own it. At
this rate there is peace and stability no
where. No city is safe, no community
is free. The laws are nothing, the
courts are nothing, corporations are
nothing, whilst the only argument for
the seizure otproperty is the pretended
disloyalty Of the owners and the means
of doing so the troops Of the Union
under the stars and stripes that conceal
the iniquity and do not protect the .op-
pressed.

Important Decisions in the Uni
ted States Dist Court, Relative
to Purchases Based OH COnfed-
crate, Money.
Wehave just learned through Messrs.
Harvey & Scott, Attorneys of this
place, that the case, once before allu-
dod to in this paper) Of L. W. Dean VS..
r. d. Harvey, Administrator of W. ii.
Yonell, has been finally determined in
the United Sratcs District Court at At.
lanta unless the plaintiff carries it to
the United States Supreme Court.
Yonell, in 1864, purchased of Dean
his plantation in Floyd county, for
S2l eco in Confederate money. Dean
in possession, but since the
war entered into rent contract for the
place, with Harvey, the Administrator
of Ionell.
Afterward Dean filed bill in the Su-
pcrior Court of Floyd county, to set
aside the sale and to enjoin Harvey
from turning him out Of possession,
upon the ground that the consideration
of the purchase was Confederate mon
cy, and the sale therefore void. The
Superior Court of this county first
granted the injunction, but afterwards
it on motion of Harvey ~
Scott, the Administrators counsel.
In the meantime, Dean moved to AL
abama-lcaving his tenant in posses
sion-and dismlssing his case in the
Superior Court and commenced his suit
by Bill as before in the United States
District Coult for Northern Georgia,
praying Tor injunction, relief, etc. The
was refused sometime ago.
The case being argued on demurrer at
the present term, his honor, judge Frs
kin dismissed the Bill sustaining the
rights Of the purchase.
This case has excited great deal of
interest, and is perhaps the most i'm
portant one to the Southern people dc
cidcd since the close ofthc war.-Roms

/ TALK WITH THE ROSES.
By PEARL RIVERS.

Talk to me, roses,
My lovers away
Ny heart has been lonely
And sad all the day.
Talk to me, roses,
SO pretty and fair
No voice but the roses
With his can compare.
Talk to me, roses,
Nohp pdy is near
But the old gate, too feeble
And aged to hear.
Talk to me. roses,
The higlwayman bee,
With his treasures reposcs
A long way from thee.
Speak quick, or the katy-did-
lSllarrclsOllc tlllllx
Your voices will drown
BY the buzz other wing.
"Thc sweet pink will hear you"
o, no! she's asleep
In her sweet little night cap,
With ruilles so deep.
The larkspur, SO watchful,
Might listen to you,
But her sharp year is stopped
BY q bright drop of dew.
And the lilly mods low
On the violct's head,
And the birds and the butterflies
All are in bed!
Then talk to me. roses,
And tell me, pray,
Did you tlirt with Il sunbeam,
Or zephyr to-day?
Confess to me, roses
"IIush! nearer" you say
Then what were you doing
At sunset, l pray?
For / pecped from my window
Nn,, rn,n. Inn't Stort
And Il sunbeam was folded
Quite close to your heart,
And Il Zephyr was kissing
The blush on your cheek
And never, in Gliding,
A word did you speak!
"You were sending love kisses
BY them to the dew,
The lover that starlight
Had plightcd TO you"
Nay, roses, that answer
fear is not true,
You've been false to the dcwdrop
So faithful to you.
The bright little sunbeam,
Twas gay to behold,
And dazzlcd yourcyes
With his garments Of gold.
The Zephyr was rowing,
OF kisses in quest,
And he fluttcrcd the sunbeam
Quite out of your breast.
Fic. roses, like Beauty,
You're vain and untrue;
| will never grow wiser
By talking 10 YOU.

praise which belongs to his rival, and
attributes his reserve to- n lofty regard
for correct principles and to an unset
fish love for the people. The theolo-
gian spits fire and wormwood at hisad
versarics and comforts himself by the
persuasion that it is for the glory of
God. The professor of religion, in
face of the Bible declaration that the
laborer is worthy his hire, will grind
you down to a starvation price, and
take advantage Of an Interpretation of
human law which enriches him and
robs his fellow. The delicate young
lady who is ready to faint when you
give the genuine English pronuncia-
ton to the good old Saxon word leg,
would persuade herself to say limb, in
tending to convey the same meaning.
The panderer to the newly -enfranchis
ed would deny the authority ofthe Lat
in for niger, and say "colored man."
These are all unconscious hypocrites,
perhaps conscious ones. But are the
Beechers, Cheevcrs, and other preach
ers of the North, who arc so much eX-
erciscd about fancied wrongs to the
niggers Of the South, while poor whites
are starving under the very sound Of
their voices, and while said preachers
live upon the fat of the land--are they
not conscious hypocrites? Are not
those blood thirsty towards who prate
about the crime of rebellion while they
disregard the Constitution; who cry
out for punishment of traitors whose
treachery consists in holding views adj
verse to their views, and who acted up.
Oh an education consistent with such
so called treachery-are they not the
most internal hypocrites?
That is our point, and if We have
given it social as well as political ap'
we have no apology to make.
