General Grant.

General Grant speaks openly In favor of
the Reconstruction bill. lie remarked to a
friend, a day or two since, that 81 his gem
erals at the South were radical in their opin-
ions, though, when sent down there, they
we're eminently conservative. General Seho-
field is a specimen. lie was picked out as a
man after the Presidents own heart. but a
month in Virginia made him over Into a
thorough Congress Radical. II Is the best
school on the continent for fogyism and |
have heard ii suggested that even Robert c..
Winthrop and George Lunt il assigned to
c~ommAads'in Texas and Va, would within siI
months go over TO Steven and Sumner. ]
have heard Of the wife Of a Union general,
who went South not many months ago, with
the reputation Of " rebel sypathizer and Sc
cessionist," who is now almost violent in her
radicalism /! To her astonishment, she found
that her mild hammered husband was insult
ed at every street.corher, and she too was
sneered at and cold-shouldetcd, simply be-
cause she was the wife Of a Union general !
That was all. The dragons Of Southern
society did not stop to inquire respecting
her sentiments for 1t was enough that she
vas the wife Of a man who had been engage
ed in the war against the rebellion. Thus
the stupidity Of the Southern people inIpres

DONATION TO JEFF.

The Legislature Of Mississippi, has mad
an appropriation Of twenty thousand dollars
for the defense Of the iIlustrious president
Of the non est ooafederacy. 1t is to be SUP.
posed that the treasury Of the State 10 over

of the SuperduOas greenbacks. And as JET
is reduced 20 the miserable fare OF oysters

perfectly proper that some provision should
be made to keep the old man Of Republication
and infamy from starving. Besides q few
sympathizing friends throughout the North,
have furnished him with a few thousand 70

Just now, the cry Of starvation is coming
up from the devastated and impoverished re-
giOns Of the South. Our hearts are daily
panied with accounts of misery, want and
desolatiOn, that prevail in that section OF
our country. The North is called upon to
contribute money and provisions, and SOcie-
ties are being formed TO alleviate the suffer-
ings and distress o: starving rebels, and yet.
the arch ieRd who brought these horrors on
this deluded people is fed upon the richest
beunties of the land, and money is taken TO
contribute TO his overlooking comfort that
should be appropriated for the airport Of those

with a vengeance. Mississippi has lhousaudI
of poor, penuiless, hOuselesS and furnishing
people within her borders but her humane
Legislature, overlooking the terrible cOndi-
ton Of affairs At home, is draining her e.
nances to minister to him who liSeS ia ease
and splendour, and the refuse of whose table
would be received With infinite gratitude BY
many a deluded wretch Of the rebellion.
The people Of the North will be
poorly encouraged by this act, to extend fur
Their charities to the people who manifest
such an anxiety for the chief Of rebels. This
act is an intended insult to the government,
and is absolute and positive proof that the
AtrociOus spirit of rebellion is yet unsubdu-
ed, naughty and defiant.

We have heard some complNEtof partiesT
not having the fear Of the law, nor Of God,
before their eyes, who have been interrupt
ing the public Worship Of the Southern di-
vision Of the Methodist denomination ia this
and adjacent Communities. Upon general
principles we oppose any proceeding which
sayors Of mob OF Lynch law but touching
the troubles above alluded to, we must con-
Sessthst while the Southern branch Of Meth
| odism may have a cleaF legal right TO hold
meetings 10 this section Of the country, yet,
under many circumstances, which we forbear
to elaborate, we think they manifest as much
bad taste az Christian zeal in their persist
ency to exercise that right where il is so OBJ
n~oGious to a large majority Of the Methodist
denomination. There are other and larger
fields, whore they can End abundant Occa-
sion 10 operate, and where they would DO far
more welcome than in loyal East Tennessee.
While "by-gones IhOuid DO by-gones," yet
many OF our people cannot with facility for
get the most ultra aud Vindictiys spirit ex-
hibitsd by the Methodist preachers during
the late war toward those who were loyal to
the government OF the United States, showing
much more earnestness in the cause Of bed-
son than 10 the cause Of Christ. We would
therefore candidly suggest that they conRue
their ministrAtions to such congregations OF
communities, in East Tennessee, OF else
where, who will not only welcome them in
Christian aud political sympathy, but will
insure protection from violence and insult,
The following is from the Conservative pa.
per Of Kingston, East Tennessee.
PREAt ,So. "A person representing the
Southern Methodist Episcopal Church, whose
lugubriuus cognomeh we were unable TO re"
member, preached in the RittsnhOuse Acade,
my on Sunday last. 1t seems the Church
organization here is connected with the
Episcopal Church, North, and refuse to re-
cognize this individual With the hard name,
as a proper servant Of the Most High, conse-
qusntly he IS not allowed the use Of the
Church here. We don't see the necessity of
maintaining separate Church organizations in
this wise, unless il be to keep alive the spir-
it Of animoSity existing between the two sec
tioaS. But maybe We don't know anything
about il.

Rev. NJ. q. TAYLOR

probable the Senate will confirm the nomina-

man that he enjoys the smiles Of Executive
favor for, by no means possible, could he
secure another opportunity to misrepresent
this people. They have nominated him as a
suitable candidate for the most unoStSnta-

enthusiastically, if he ever again asks their
suffrages.
This is a huge slice Of bread and butter
