ANOTHER MAsToDoN Discovery.

ANOTHER MAsToDoN DISCOVERY
Large specimens Of the bones of the mas
todou have recently been discovered at
Cahoes, on the Mohawk, near Troy, N. Y.
1t appears that during the process of IN
excavation some weeks since, on the site
of mill to be newly erected, mummoth
jaw bone was found about one hundred
feet from the banks of the Mohawk river,
embedded at q distance of sixty.fve feet
below the surface Of the earth. More
recently the remains of a complete skele.
tou of huge mastodon were discovered
eighteen feet further down in the same
excavation, and the attendant naturalists
of Yale and Union Colleges and the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute of this
city, are fully confirmed in the opinion
that the frame can be made quite perfect.
The jaw of the mastadon is four feet niue
inches in length from the mouth to the
Uranium, to which portion of the back
bone and jaw arc still connected. The
two tusks each measure eight feet in
length. and their position is we'll marked
on the upper jaw. The hip bones are
FIVE feet long and weighs one hundred
pounds, while the shoulder blades meas
ure ten feet nine inches, and weigh abont
Fifty pounds each.
The measurements show that the ani.

in height, and have been . little upwards

SENATOR WILSON ON SOUTHERN
DESTITUTION.

DA<oAAA I AAONs
On the 10th inst. Senator Wilson de-
livered a speech in New Orleans, from
which we extract as follows:
"Since entered Virginia, my ears have
been panied and my heart made sick over
the tales of loss, of suffering, and of sor-
row in this, your land. Our people, in the
plenitude of their power, surrounded, as
they are, with material prosperity, stronger
and more powerful than ever before, have
no full comprehension of the exhaustion of
these ten States lately in rebellion and as
! hear the sad stories, as | witness what
do, feel that no man with a generous
heart in his bosom can desire any more
punishment for this portion ofour country
Applause Yes, the war has taken away
from these States at least two-thirds of their
property. 1t has borne heavily upon your
families. l was told by the Governor of
Alabama, day or two ago, that that State
put 1876, 900 men into the Confederate army,
thai 10000 of them are in their graves /;
that 10000 more we're manned and
wounded; that there were 10000 soldiers
widows and orphans in the State; and that
the charity of the government, aye, and the
charity OF the men of the country, was IN
voked to aid these suffering widows and
children. l do not want your blood, your
liberties, your lands, and any thing that is
yours. Applause. / want only this
that you shall turn your backs upon the
lost past, which you can not recall; let it
go forever; turn your faces to the future,
and unite with rs in lifting up your States,
developing their resources, healing the
wounds of war, and making your fields
bloom again. Applause, And what |
express as my own feeling as the convic-
tions Of my Judgment, and sentiments of
my heart, and the dictates ofmy conscience,
l believe TO be the sentiments and feelings
OF the people of Massachusetts, and of the

COLONEL BAXTER'S CLEVELAND
SPEECH.

This mastery effort is attracting general
attention and admiration. The National
Iatelligsaeer republishes it almost entire, and
accompanies it with the following editorial
remarks
at is A calm, unprecedented, and states
manlike review of the course Of the arch
traitsr Brownlow. The exposition is COM
plete. We have omitted from the speech
an the local matters alluded TO-, and pub
lished only that portion which will show to
the people of the country what an unmiti-
gated dissembler and enemy OF republican
institutions is this creature who is lording
il over the whole State Of Tennessee. The
usurpations initiated and the outrages per-
mitted by his authority will strike with
horror every reader in the North. 1t is
inconceiyable that any being in human
shape could conceive 20 much iRfamy as
has been exposed in this speech, made
publicly in Tennessee, in regard To
the action Of the Reverend Governor
Brownlow. From these facts, calm
Nv and in 4 dignihed manner presented
bv fellow -townsman Of BroWnlow, one is
led 10 believe that all the violent denun-
Citations of him were not only well deserved,
but we're not half severe enough 10 describe
the horrible deformities of government
administered By a man apparently devoid
Of either moral principle or human feel
ing.
Let all who desire to know the condition
of affairs in the border States under such
auspices read these extracts from the speech
of Colonel Baxter. IL they have hearts 10
mourn over their tyrant-trodden country
men, they cannot help shedding bitter tears
over the condition Of Tennessee under

A CARD To THE PEOPLE OF
STEWART COUNTY.

INDIAN MOUND, Tenn, May 20, 1866
As there has been no nominating cOnven-
ton held in this county, | have thought
proper to announce myself az a candidate
for Representative in the lower House Of
the General Assembly.
Regarding the political canvass now
pending in Tennessee as the most i'm
portant in the history Of the State, and
feeling that the contest is between the
friends and enemies of republican liberty,
| espouse the side of freedom against the
despotism sought to be fixed upon the
people by Brownlow. look with feelings
Of Indignation upon the reckless extraya-
gance that pervades every department of
the State government, and threatens to
load the people with intolerable burdens
of taxation, if it does not ultimately engulf
the State in financial ruin. / heartily
endorse the resolutions of the Conservative
party in Tennessee, adopted at Nashville
in convention, on the 10th of April last.
And ] am further in favor of an elective
judiciary, from the lowest to the highest
offices in that department Of the State gov
eminent.
am in favor of an immediate repeal Of
the law authorizing militia army of 5000
men, in time Of profound peace, at a cost to
the people Of six or eight millions of dol
lars per annum. l am for the political de-
capitation of Brownlow's shoulder-strapped
staff, and breaking up what is called his
military family" In short, am in favor
of a thorough change in the State admins
tration, as indispensable to the liberty and
prosperity of the people.
With these views | shall enter upon the
canvass determined, with the aid of a
patriotic people, to defeat the Radical can
didate whoever he may be.
In conclusion | will say that am now
and have ever been a firm and unhinching
Union man. l served in the Union army,
| and was discharged on the Both of October
1865, at New Orleans, and am now ready
to sacrifice my business and give my time
to rescue the country from the dangers and
actual evils of Radical rule Calling upon
every man in the country who endorses
these principles, to give me Ihis support L

Brownlow and his INSCRIPTIONS minions
This once great State has been made an
experiment to see how far despotism and
robbery might be carried. The speech of
Col. Baxter shows what steps have been
taken by the heartless despots who have
managed its affairs to perpetuate power in
their own hands, and to exclude from any
participation in the affairs of their State a
majority of the voting population"

spects to you, and knowing you to be frank
upon ali subjects of public character,
now, in the spirit of true kindness, and due
respect, ask you if Conservative men can,
or will be permitted to canvass the various
districts of Tennessee, in an orderly man
ner, without beisg overawed or intimidat-

Very respectfully,

p. HoLTsINGER: IN reply to your favor Of
the 9th inst, respectfully refer you to my
circular of the Sth inst, and to the plat
form of the Republican Union party,
adopted the 22d of February. You will
there learn that the largest liberty in de
bate, with the right to discuss public men
and measures, is claimed for speakers of all
parties. And however severe the speakers
may be, no State Guards will be allowed to
interrupt them, or will be upheld in doing
so. The State Guards will protect colored
men in their right to vote, and Clerks and
Judges of elections in carrying out the pro-
visions of the franchise law. And if bad
men, from disloyal motives, shall venture
to deliver incendiary speeches, and advise
the overthrow of the State government by
mob violence, | should think the State
Guards and loyal citizens greatly at fault
to tolerate such men.
As the Executive of the State, have no
authority to prevent " Conservative men F"
from canvassing the State, and if | had, /
have no such disposition.
