A "HURRAH" IN The WRONG
PLACE.-The Petersburg (Va.)
Index relates the following:
During his speech in front of
Jarrett's Hotel, on Thursday
night, Senator Wilson remarked
that six hundred and twenty-five
battles had been fought in the late
war. He pathetically added
that "three hundred and twenty,
five thousand Union soldiers had
lost their lives in crushing out the
rebellion"
"Hurrah for dat - cried a color

Letters from Fayetteville,

We clip the following letters
from the last Nashville Press and
Times:
FAYETTEVILLE, May 6, 1867.
Editor Press and Times:
In the issue of the Nashville
Union and Dispatch of May I'd,
1867, letter appears concerning
a Radical Union meeting held
here. 1t states that it was held
in a certain store. We would
quote the precise language, but
do not wish to sully your columns
with any vituperative, vulgar
and bigoted phrases, as we profess
to be of that great and good par
ty which proclaims against pro-
scribing any man or men on &C
count of race, color or religious
views, unless convicted of crime
against the laws of the land
The writer says that not one of
the colored men whose names ap-
peared in the proceedings of the
meeting acknowledges being pre-
sent. We the undersigned color
ed men would be pleased to know
by what authority he makes use
of such. an assertion. We were
present at the meeting, were ap-
pointed delegates, together with
Others, twenty-seven in all of col
ored, besides whites, to attend
the Sheibyville convention, and
did SO. We never denied our
presence at the meeting.

Since the new style of ladies'
dresses have come into vogue in
Paris, which are made rather short
in front and at the sides, and SO
tight in front as to show the con-
tour Of the stomach, it is said that
false stomachs, of India rubber,
are actually worn by thin women
We trust this fashion will not be
carried to any greater extremity.

Editor Press and Times:
In the Nashville Union and
Dispatch Of May I'd, 1867, | no
ticed a comment over the sigma
ture of Lincoln, upon the Union
meeting held at this place. The
writer states that it was "gotten
up with the usual Radical impu-
dence," and | who served as chair
man declared openly upon the
public street that | was not there.
Now, allow me to state plainly
and unequivocally, SO that there
may be no misunderstanding
about the matter, l was present
at the meeting, offered resolutions,
served as Chairman, and heartily
concurred in all the proceedings
of the meeting; likewise attended
the Convention at ShelbyvilIe,
and used all my influence for the
nomination, as | shall for the
election of James Mullins. The
statement of the correspondent
of the Union and Dispatch, that
| declared publicly on the street
that / was not there, namely, at
the meeting,) and knew nothing
of it" is a base and malicious
lie, and l desire the Union and
Dispatch to publish the name Of
the correspondent Lincoln, writing
under date of the 29th of April,
1867, from this place.
Yours respectfully,
Z. 2. REYNOLDS.

How the Interest Might
Have Been Met.

Had our rulers manifested that
regard for economy which the
condition of the people and the in
terest of the State imperatively
demanded, and which it was Grim
inal to disregard, there would have
been no difficulty in meeting the
July interest On the State debt.
The premium which the Radical
majority in the Legislature voted
themselves, we have heretofore
put down at $64, 900, but we are
now satisfied it will exceed that
amount. The Governors staff, a
worse than useless appendage, cost
the State to the 9th of April last,
$28,S66. The metropolitan po-
lice of Memphis and Chattanooga,
gotten up for political purposes
alone, cost the State to the time
of the stoppage of this sluice from
the Treasury, s79,272. This
does not include the expense in
Cured and to be incurred in the
effort to force this measure upon
the people of Nashville. Let US
see what this worse than useless
expenditure Of the money wrung
from the people by exorbitant
taxation amounts to.
Premium to members of the Legisla-
ture sG4, 600
Governors Staff 28, 500
Metropolitan Police 1922
Total sl72, 1888
The interest to be paid on the
State debt in July amounts to
something over $4,000. Here
then we have $4,000 more than
is required to pay the July inter-
est on the State debt expended
for purposes which have been of
no benefit whatever to the peo-
pie of the State. Then we are
to have a standing army of "loy-
al militia" in a time of profound
peace, to consume largely more
than will be required to pay the
January interest upon the State
debt. Is it not criminal that these
profigate expenditures should be
incurred at time when the peo-
pie are grooming under the bur-
dens Of national and State taxa
tion?-Union and Dispatch.

TIE PUBLIC DEBT.

The revenue of this government at the
rate it is now being received, is $250,O00,>
600 per year The annual expenditures
are $350,000,000. Here is a cleer deficit
of $l00,000,000 per year The two bill
lion and half Of the public debt is being
increased one hundred millions a year,
nearly a third of million of dollars
every day, Notwithstanding, there is a
project on foot promising to pay it, prin>
cipal and interest, in forty years, and in
gold; and 50 pledging the government to
do it, that any change in the plan can be
denounced as reputation.
The project involves increased taxa
tion--the taxation of labor for the benefit
Of the non-laboring bond-holder, but it
does not contemplate the payment of the
public debt within that time, for its origi-
majors know it to be impossible. Nay,
more, they do not desire that it shall be
paid They openly proclaim that the
public debt is public blessing. This is
false, but by a specious array of figures
they assume to show it to be true. 1t is
indeed private blessing to a single class,
who would have it perpetual 1t makes
mintdrops for them. For this reason
they oppose all measu res looking to its
liquidation They are very Jealous of
the public credit, and roll their eyes in
holy horror at the thought of repudia-
ton. They do not care, however, to see
the debt abolished by any process. They
would keep it as something sacred. They
are the chief creditors, and know that
they have a solvent and punctual debtor,
for the people of this nation have no pur-
pose Of reputation. But the people
want to pay on fair and just terms and
want the laws so framed that every man
shall pay in proportion to his means, and
they mean to have it so, too.

never before attempted in this country,
features certainly of the most novel de-
scription. One act will represent what
they call two stages, and while a grand
ballet is going on on the regular stage, ans
other portion of the drama will be present

carried out on the most extensive scale,
and the ballet will be the great feature of
the performance. A number of the greats

rope have been secured, and the great sem
sation will be broughtout in January. The
title Of the new piece has not yet been di d.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTUREs-T
RIGHT VIEW.

The Lexington Miss Advertiser pro-
poses tbs establishment of spinning and
carding icctory in that place at cost of
$500. 1t holds it to be great folly to wait
until 1000 or 100000 can be got to COM
mence with, and adds
"A factory costing the insignificant
amount we have named) can card all the
wool in the county, make Bowells and
domestics TO supply three times our popu-
lation, and with a gin attached could gin
all the gleanings of the great stople at a
figure that would Immediately supersede
horse power. We have in our community
a gentleman of recognized genius, Of an
inventive turn Of mind, well posted in
mechanics and machinery, who, for a mod
crate compensation, could be induced to
take charge Of the business Of such factory
and conduct il TO the grandest results pos,
sible TO be attained"
To which the New Orleans Peayuns
adds:
"When our Hazlehurst friends year or
two ago were trying to start factory and
stopped short because the sum OF 100000
could not be raised, we told them TO have
a dog power factory If they could get no
other. Indeed, every 5000 acres Of culti-
waited land should have IL one gin and cot
ton factory combined, and il would be all
the better il the farmers daughters should
do the weaving at home on the improved
looms Of the day. Small plantations and
small factories must 60 together"
Why may not Tennessee profit by these
hints 49, o.

THE CHASE MOVEMENT.

The Radical members Of the Georgia
Reconstruction Convention met in caucus
at Atlanta on the evening of the 10th inst,
and nominated Chief Justice Chase to
the Presidency in 1868, without dis
senting voice. At another caucus, held
the evening following, the question was
brought up for reconsideration All the
members were in attendance, and the
same resolutions were adopted-there
being only FIVE dissenting votes There
is little doubt that Chief Justice Chase is
the choice of the Radicals in the other
Southern States with equal unanimity
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette writes
The principal topic of conversation
here at this time is the attitude in which
recent events have placed Gen. Grant. His
private letter to the President expostu-
lating against the removal of Stanton, has
created quite an excitement. The cons
tents of this letter were well known TO the
parties who we're instrumental in unearth>
ing il, and it is therefore supposed that its
publication was sought with malicious
motives. No real friend of the General
certainly could desire such a disclosure.
Independently of the impotence and igno-
rance exhibited by the writer, the style,
grammar and photography of the original
are absolutely appalling. Even as cor
rected for publication, there is not single
sentence of grammatical English from the
beginning to the end of it. Besides all
this, it defends the whole conduct of man
whom Congress itself has abandoned to
the merited fate of a discounted petty
tyrant, who has not, at this moment, friend
on earth, Grant excepted. Surprise is also
expressed that Wilson, Chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, should have
exposed the Endorsement of Grant upon
the vindictive and lying report OF Holt in
the Lusk case. Altogether, these exposures
have ruined Grants prospects for the
Presidency, and it is supposed in well~
informed circles that tie friends of Chase
will, in short time, be in the ascendant,
if they are not 80 already"
