A Righteous Judge.

Nothing gives us greater pleasure than
to read and commend such excellent senti-
ments as those contained in the following
extract, and which are occasionally uttered
by leading men at the South They give
hope Of the coming Of brighter day, when
those who now prosecute the helpless, igno-
rant and poor, will enroll themselves among
their friends, and we shall have the specta-
Gle of a whole nation North and South,
acting justly and righteously toward the
despised and weak
The extract below is from II charge re-
Gently delivered to the Grand Jury of Hen
rico county (Richmond) Virginia, bv Judge
Christian, of the Circuit Court:
And now having instructed you to pre-
sent all otfenses committed by freedmen
within the jurisdiction of this court. |
should be recreant to my plainest duty and
the high responsibilities Of my position if
failed to remind you that it is also your
sworn duty to present all offenscs commit
tee against them You will remember,
gentlemen, that these people are now cloth
ed by our laws and constitution with certain
civil and personal rights which Won and /,
In administering the laws of the country.
are bound to recognize and respect. And
while we hold them amenabIc to our laws.
we must at the same time afford TO them
| the protection of the laws in all the rights
OF person and property which have been
| conferred upon them They have become
free without any agency of their own
During the long and bloody struggle
through which we passed, the remarkable
spectacle was exhibited, without a parallel
| III history, Of a sorvile race, i'll many sec
lions largely Outnumbering the dominant
race not only passive spectators Of the
mighty struggle, in which they were taught
| to believe their liberties were involved, but
IN many instances exhibiting singular fl
deity to the master, SO that the wife and
| the daughter, the mother and sister of the
Confederate soldier were often left to the
care and protection of the faithful slave
We must all admit that the horrors Of the
recent war, full of horror and crime as it
was, full of deeds of dark and damnable
atrocity and outrage upon humanity ard
civilization, would have increased a thou
sand fold if tho fires of Instruction had
been lighted up throughout our land, and
the brutal passions Of a servile race let loose
upon the weak and helpless But nowhere
did the docile and faithful slave lift his hand
against his master, but maintained passive
spectator to the end of the great struggle,
and only accepted freedom when it was
forced upon him. Having thus become free
without any agency of their own, but by
the inevitable logic Of events, they strongly
appeal to us, the dominant race, to us, their
former masters, for protection in all the
rights which their new condition has con
ferred upon them. Let us cheerfully and
heartily accord to them that protection in
all their civil and personal rights

General Thomas,

General Thomas Is every inch soldier
and a man. 1t was through him that the
tide Of victory set in for the Federal arms
in 1862 at Fishing CrGgk--.-IL5s at he 4zrined
the day at Chicamauga. He was the hero
at Nashville, too, when he sent Hood on his
never-rcturn trip southwark. He is a talk
cr too. Hear him. Referring to the late
arrest Of some rebels at Rome, Ga, by the
military, for hosting the rebel flag, he says
The sole cause of this and similar often
ses lies in the fact that certain citizens of
Rome, and portion Of the people of the
States lately in rebellion do not and have
not accepted the situation and that is. that
the late civil war was a rebellion, and history
will so record it. Those engaged in it are
and will be pronounced Rebels rebellion
implies treason, and treason is a crime and
a hcinous one too and deserving of punish
ment, and that traitors have not been pun
ishcd is owing to the magnanimity Of the
conquerors. With too many of the people
Of the South, the late civil war is called a
revolution, Rebels are called "COnfederates, "
loyalsts to the whole country are called
ID Yankees and traitors, and over the
whole great crime with its accursed record
of slaughtered heroes, patriots murdered
because of their true hearted love of coun-
try, widowed wives and orphaned children,
and prisoners Of war slain amid such hor-
rors as find no parallel in the history of the
world, they are trying to throw the gloss
Of responsibility and thrusting with con
tumeIy and derison from their society the
men, and women who would not Join hands
with them in the work of running their
country. Everywhere in the States lately
in rebellion treason is respectable and 10y
atty odious. This the people of the United
States, who ended the rebellion and saved
the country, will not permit and all attempts
to maintain this unnatural order of things
will be met by decided disapprovaI.'
AS, however, it is pretended by the
friends Of the citizens arrested, that they
were so innocent as not to know that it was
wrong for paroled prisoners and UNPUBLISHED
traitors to glory in their shame. and faunt
the symbol of their crime in the face of the
country, they will be released from confne-
ment with the understanding that no act
Of treason will be passed unnoticed when
detected, and may they and others. who
think like them, profit by the lesson they
have received

Mrs. Sarah Donelson, formerly resident

Suddenly five Indians made their appear

and was intercepted by two Of the Indians.
Throwing them from her, third caught

barred the door. The Indians rested one

down her fathers rifle and returned the fire
of the Indians through the apcrturcs or

to cock her gun, Mrs. DoneIson found that

herself so creditably.

Nomination of Governor Brownlow.

In every part of the State the loyal people are
expressing qualification that Gov. Brownlow has
been renominated.
From the loyal paper of Chattanooga, the RepuB-
Iican, we extract the following
The nomination of Gov Brownlow for re-eec-
ton meets, as we were confident it would the uni
yersal endorsement of the loyal press and people Of
Tennessee.
Nothing can be more fattering to the gallant old
war horse than the unanimity with which the dele
gates OF our entire party bestowed the nomination
tor the highest Office in the State upon him, unso-
Noted, unless 1t be the than popular storm OF
appreciation with which the people everywhere have
ratlned the action Of their representatives,.
1t was well known fact that Gov. BrownlOw
ala not desire the nomination for Governor. The
arduous duties of the position which he has so ably
hlled and his feeble health consequent upon his IN
renting devotion to the interests of our people,
made 1t desirable upon his part, that Hon Horace
Maynard, VIM. B. Stokes, or some other OF our
younger men, should have been selected as the
standard bearer of the party in the coming election
But the people could not afford to dispense with his
valuable services, and the patriotic veteran, much
against his inclination has accepted the nomination
for the office to which we will triumphantly elect
him in August.
The unanimity of his nomination is fitting re-
buke to the cOpperheaIs who have so bitterly ma
ligned him. and the result of the election Will teach
them the further fact thst in the estimation OF the
loyal men of Tennessee, he stands first IN the
hearts of his countrymen'
We regret to announce the fact that the Cover
nor Is now seriously ill-the result of his arduous
labors Tor weeks past in the executive office. his
feeble health will preclude the possibility of his
taking part in the approaching Gubernatorial CON
test but his friends must not be discouraged on this
account but should rather buckle on the armor OF
right and loyalty with renewed vigOr, and go into
the canvass with the determination to repay por-
ton of the debt of gratitude due to the patriotic in
valid from the loyal people of Tennessee
