Something to Smoke.

TIE Macon Telegraph says
there is a point in what follows
from the New York World, which
clustering Yankees would do well
if they would only put it in their
pipe and smoke it:
eve of the North discredit our
own valor when we disparage or
belittle that of the South. Our
endless muster rolls, our colossal
debt, our calling the negroes to our
aid, are satire upon our manhood,
unless the enemy who SO long with
stood us-an enemy so inferior in
numbers and every military re-
source-was endowed with great
qualities"

An Obituary.

We have seen in our time many
obituaries, but never before one
like the following from the La
Crosse Democrat:
Major General Curtis, of Iowa,
is dead. There is not much to say
of him except that he was q Re.
publican politician like Washburn,
greatly overrated as a statesman or
soldier, but a good man for that
party. As a business man he was
successful. He went into the war,
as he told a distinguished Senator,
now living, to make money enough
to pay a five thousand dollars mort.
gage on his farm, and his military
career was a splendid success, in
that respect. He was clear-head'
ed, firm in his opinions, and stra.
tegist who believed the best way to
conquer an enemy was to draw out
their cotton rather than their fire,
and to place his troops in advance
of the mules belonging to his enc
my, rather than behind them. He
has we trust gone to reap his re.
ward for his devotion to his prin.
ciples, with Brown, Lane, Lincoln,
and the other Republican martyrs
of the nineteenth century. His
initials we have forgotten or we
should give them here, but he was
General Curtis, from Iowa. Green
and quickly grow the sod over him
and all such.

FAYETTEVILLE. 81 1857
was Tennessee ever out
of the Union?

A correspondent of the Boston
Post, signing "Tennesseeap," states
the following facts as showing
that Tennessee was never out of
the Union, either in the estima-
ton of Congress or of those fierce
Radicals from this State who now
hold that the acts of secession on
the part of the Southern States
destroyed their Statehood:
The ordinance of secession was
adopted in Tennessee in June,
1861. The regular biennial cleo
ton took place in the August fol-
lowing. The contest that inter-
vened was fierce and bitter beyond
all that had ever preceded it. In
that contest Mr.. johnson took
the lions share. He became by
common consent, the leader of
the Unionists. Giving but little
rest to either mind or body, with
wonderful energy and sublime he
roism, he devoted himself to his
work, At the risk of his life he
went from point to point, raising
his voice everywhere in defense OF
the cause of the Union, and in
denunciation of its foes. The
most powerful philippe the writer
ever heard was hurled by Andrew
johnson at secession and It's au.
thors in a town garrisoned by a
regiment of Confederate troops.
and in the very face of the soldiery'
The result of the conAict-a
result due more to the eXertions
of Mr.. johnson than to those of
any other man--was the defeat
of all the candidates for the Con
federate Congress in the districts
Of Eastern Tennessee, and the
election of Messrs. Nelson, May.
nard, and Bridges to the United
States House of Representatives
On the day of the election Mr.
Maynard, who was in one of the
counties bordering on Kentucky,
escaped through the Confederate
lines, afterward went to Washing
ton, in the following December
took his seat in Congress, and
held it till the expiration of bis
term, March 4, 1868.
Mr.. johnson made his way to
Washington in safety, although
fired upon as he passed through
Cumberland Gap; entered the
Senate and remained there until
he resigned his seat to accept the
appointment of Military Cover
nor of Tennessee position press
ed upon him by MIR. Lincoln and
other leaders of the Republican
party.
Surely it is not difficult to see
that there ecas Occasion that he
should go outof the Senate" even
ssif Tennessee was not out OF the
Union"
Mr.. Nelson did not reach Wash
ington. He was arrested on the
way, taken as a prisoner to Rich
mond, and paroled. Mr.. Bridges
while trying to escape from the
State was also arrested. He was
taken back home, and remained
there until February, 1868. He
then succeeded in eluding Confed-
crate vigilance, crossed the noun
tains into Kentucky, went to
Washington, took his seat in the
House of Representatives a few
days before the expiration of the
Congress to which be had been
elected, and received pay and
mileage for the whole term.
