vINDrCATIoN OF the TRUTH.

My attention was attracted by an article
under the heading "One of General Fisk s
Staff on Joe Williams" which appeared
in the yesterdays issue Of the Press and
Times. The Major in Philadelphia, who
signed the letter to the Press and Times,
seems to be very much mistaken. He says
"On his way there his great love of noto-
riety showed itself by his wearing a uniform
with sword, sash and belt, which he had no
right to wear; he not even belonging to the
army"
An in the conclusion of his letter
"This conduct, with other circumstances,
rendered his further connection with Major
Stearns' headquarters obnoxious, and he
was dismissed from the service"
Will the Major please tell me how
man can be dismissed from the service"
to which he "not even belonged" The
truth is, Joe. Williams enlisted in company
A of the 18th United States colored in
fantry, on or about the 18th day of Septem-
Der, 1863 was in command Of the regi-
ment at that time, and Williams was speci-
ally recommended to me by the late Major
Stearns. Furthermore, he had eecom-
mendations from Senator Pomeroy, Simon
Cameron, Secretary of War in 1861, Com
modore Foote and Mr.. Usher, Secretary Of
the Interior. On account of these recon-
mendations ] appointed him Sergeant Ma
jor of the regiment. He was honorably
mustered out of the service with his COM
peny and regiment on the 10th of January,
1866. THEo. TRAUERNIcHT,

OPPOSED no WEST VIRGINIA

The editor Of the Press and Times,
while editor Of the Nashville Union in
1862, was so decided in his opposition to
secession that he opposed the formation
of West Virginia into a State. In the
U,sion of December2l, 1862, he said:
"The bill for the admission OF West Vir-
ginia, as a State, into the Union, has passed
the House Of Representatives. We regard
this movement az singularly unwise and
inexpedient in the present rebellious atti-
tude Of the larger portion Of the old State
of Virginia. In time Of peace we would
favor the division of Western Virginia
from the Eastern portion of the State, as a
measure Of geographical propriety, but now
there are many powerful, and TO our minds
irresistible reasons why no such separation
should be made. 4 We do not
wish 10 see the secession of one section OF
a State from another, any more than We
wish to see the secession of one section Of
our country from the other; nor do We
like the disunion of a State much better
than disunion of States"
He saw practical secession in this
movement and opposed it, yet he subse-
quenty applauded it because the require
ments of party demanded it Here is
another evidence of his great proficiency
as political acrobat

WILMINGTON, DEL, June Goth, 1867. =
Our party, consisting of Isaac Litton, w.
Bryce Thompson, Isaac Paul, Joseph Carols
and James L. Sloan, from Nashville, and
J. V. Powell, of Memphis, delegates to the
National Division of the Sons Of Temper
ance, arrived safely at their destination.
Leaving Nashville on the night of the 18th,
we had pleasant and prosperous trip, on
rail and steamer, TO Philadelphia, where
we arrived late in the afternoon of Tuesday,
18th. Shortly afterwards we went through
the ceremonies of the grand reception"
Though it rained in torrents il was really
grand" The talent and enthusiasm ofIthe
Temperance world-botll of which are great
and powerfal--were present. The enter
tainment was magnificent, the speeches
most cordial and eloquent, and all went
brilliantly and satisfactorily. 1t didn't re-
quire whisky to get the spirits up, and we
had all the gaiety and wit and enthusiasm
of the occasion, without the risk of going
beyond decency, or waking with head
ache in the morning.
We left Philadelphia, after receiving
every attention and courtesy that could be
thought OF, on Wednesday at twelve, and
were present at the opening Of the National
Division at p. NJ. at this place. At night
we had festival at which we were charmed
with the youth and beauty Of Delaware.
Everything is delightful. TIE session
promises 20 be one Of great pleasure to the
delegates, and of interest and profit to the
great temperance brotherhood. / think we
shall adjourn not before Tuesday, 18th

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June %, 1867
MeRsrs. John G. Gaut. of Davidson county,
and others, Central Executive Committee
Gentlemen: Nothing could have sur
prised me more than the nomination with
which you and my fellow citizens of Da-
wilson county honored me on Saturday last
That we may mutually understand each
other, beg to state my understanding of
the main question now at issue to be the
restoration of yourselves and the citizens
of our Stale in general TO all the rights,
privileges and responsibilities of American
citizenship. That you and they were
clothed with these the very moment your
Representatives were admitted on the floor
of Congress, no one can gainsay or doubt
That you have been illegally stripped of
these by few angry, implacable men, is
also too clear 10 merit discussion. That
these men have passed an act for raising
and arming q sort of standing army, con-
trary to the laws of cur land, Is also indis-
putable. That the object of that army in
time Of perfect peace is TO rule by physical
force at The ballot boa, WILL BE SEEN.
In opposition to these great local wrongs
/ have felt it duty to raise my voice. /
do it as a member of Loyal League as
an American citizen asking neither favor
nor affection" from any one; leaving the
past with all its responsibilities to God, the
laws of the land, and integrity OF its
people.
These are my views Of the questions in
volved in this canvass, and it is on "this
line" alone that / can honorably and con-
scientiously enter the campaign.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM DRIVER.

The account Of the conduct of Judge
Hurst at Purdy on the 18th inst, from
the Memphis Aralaaehe which we print
this morning is a disgrace to the civil
zation and christianity Of our country.
The character which Hurst established
during the war, was well known to Brown
low as being the most cruel and blood.
thirsty, and his yulgarity ON this occasion
fully justifes that reputation. 1t is one
Of the most disgusting exhibitions Of
Radicalism yet presented to the public.

wouldavoid contact with the most loath-
some objects Of moral and political le-

THE ACRoRAT AMI THE NEGROES.

THE ACROBAT AND THE NEGROES.
The editor of the Press and Times
processes to be the peculiar friend of the
negro, and he has had a peculiar way
of showing this friendship While he
was editor Of the Nashville Union, ex
tending through 1862 and 1868, he had
nothing favorable to say Of the race On
the contrary, he appealed to the people
Of Tennessee to save their slaves from
the wreck Of civil war, showing them
how the President had left the way open
for them to do this, in excepting Tennes-
see from the operations Of the emancipa-
ton proclamation. He was so much OPP
posed to free negroes that his paper adj
vOcated the forcible colonization of this
class in Liberia, and the apprenticing of
them to the citizens of that Republic a
sufficient length Of time to reimburse the
government the expense of their trans
portation to that country. But this was
not all He sought occasion to show his
contempt fer the negro In the Nashville
Union of August 10, 1862, he saik
at will never do in the world to have
black officers in the army, because in hot
weather the black officers would always
out-Tdnk the white ones, and would con-
stantly be in bad Odor with the rest Of the
army. There would be nothing but Tuning
on one side and pertaining on the other, and
the army would soon stink in the nostrils
of the nation"
In the same issue of his paper lie
quoted the remark of traveller about the
blacks Of Hayti, Take gold ring with
any alloy of copper in it, and they will
instantly detect the presence of the baser
metal by the sense of smelling" and
added
"Darkies IN this latitude, on the con-
trary, have singularly' indicate way of
smelling in hot weather"
BE subsequently denounced the negro
as ignorant and degraded and barbarous,
and but few grades removed from the
brute. This cannot be the language of a
friend of the race The man who seeks
to bring them into contempt and ridicule
cannot be their friend And he had moth
ing good to say of them until it became
evident that they were to be power in
the land. As late as July 30, 1862, he
lent the use of his columns to assist in
slaye-catching, by advertising reward
of $50 for runaway slave
In the Nashville Union of May 6, 1852,
he said of VIM. Lloyd Garrison
'This Garrison il a dirty dog. He is
one of the most faEatical of the Abolition
gang. He possessed all the elements had
he lived in Nashville to make a Seees-
sionist."
These are simply the outcroppings Of
the sentiment toward negroes which gov
erned his conduct of the Nashville Union
during the first year of its existence. He
was pro-slavery, was opposed to frees
negroes, and denounced Abolitionists' as
Secessionists. The extracts we have
given viii show the degree of respect he
entertained for the negro race. Perhaps
he viii attempt to plead "the baby act
upon these extracts as he did in regard
to his forced colonization and apprentice
scheme. That is his only hope Of escaIe
from these damning exposures.

Presidensial Party Visits a state
school snip, etc.
BosroN, June 22.-As the Presidential
train passed the armory salute was fired
from that establishment.
At Palmer, Worcester, and all places on
the route, crowds gathered around the
stale car and cheered the President, who
shook hands with many Of the citizens.
The train arrived at Longwood, near
Boston, at FIVE o'clock, and the party were
received by a military escort and delega-
tons of the city authorities. Salntes were
fred, and the thousands of persons assem-
bled cheered repeatedly.
The party we're conducted to carriages,
and driven through Brooklyn and Roxbury,
amid the cheers of the residents. Three
regiments of infantry, battalion OF caval-
| ~, and a full company Of United States
marines, were in line, waiting 20 receive
| the President. The streets and windows
were densely crowded with spectators and
| there was waving of handkerchiels from
windows and welcomes, and occasional
cheering, as the President passed up Wash
ington street.
At the line dividing Roxbury from BOs-
| ton, the President was met by Mayor Mar
| cross, seated In a bareuche drawn by six
horses. The Mayor extended to the Presi-
| dent cordial welcome in behalf Of the
| municipal authorities, for which honor the
latter returned thanks, and accepted the
Inequalities so generously rendered. The
| President was then invited to take a seat
with the Mayor, which be did, while the
band played "Hail ia the Chief" Many

in column, and the procession moved up

and Arlington.
BosToN, June 2S.-The party this MORN

school ship, having been conveyed thither
/ from the wharf in tug.
Several special trains will arrive to-
| night and tomorrow morning, with lodges
and delegations of the brotherhood. A
beautiful and imposing demonstration is
anticipated.
Other gentlemen and number of ladies
reached the vessel in similar way. The
boys were ranged at their decks in the
lower cabin. The President was escorted
to his room, in company with Postmaster
General Randall, Representative Hooker,
| Gen. Banks, ex-GoY. Andrews, Judge DIN,
of the Supreme Court of the District Of

| Ex-Governor Banks, one of the founders
of the reforming institution of this school
