BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.
There's many gem unpublished
And many a star unknown .s
Many a bright bud peTished,
T Neglected and alqpe-
When had word been spoken,
In a kindly, gentle tone.
The bud had bloomed unhroken,
The gem had graced throne.
Then O. scorn not the lowly,
Nor do them any wrong,
Lest thou crush an impulse holy,

Taxes.

All the colored votes cast for
Brownlow are just so many dollars
out of the pocket of the colored
man.
Brownlow's standing army will
cost millions Of dollars year.
Who pays this?
The colored people pay their
part of it. Under Brownlow's
law, every chair, every table,
every bed, every knife and fork
of the colored man may be taken
to pay taxes. AS in other debts,
he cannot keep back a part of
his property. What he owes for
taxes must be paid if it takes the
last rag that hides his nakedness.
Therefore, if he votes for Brown
low he votes to rob himself, for
Brownlow's tax gatherers will
not leave him a crust of bread

The Battle of Perryville

"Mack," writing from Selma,
Alabama, gives the following YER
sion of Bragg's strategy immediate
ly previous to the Battle of Perry
vile: =
General Hardee was recently
married to an accomplished lady
of this vicinity, and resides few
miles from here on a large plan
tation. He comes to town every
day to attend to business. To-
day l made the acquaintance of
scholarly and accomplished gen.
tleman who acted as his chief of
staff during most Of the war, and
is now associated with Col. Mckee,
formerly of the Louisville Courier,
in the publication of the Selma
Messenger. In the course of
long conversation about war and
battles, he told me something
about the battle of Perryville that
is worth recording. 1t will be
remembered that Hardee comman-
ded the Rebel forces in that bloody
and indecisive affair. Hardee
knew, twenty-four hours before
the battle, that McCook was
marching on the Perryville road
and that no Federal forces were
within supporting distance of him.
He determined to make a stand
at Perryville with his corps, and
in order to insure his success, he
sent to Bragg, .who was at Har-
rodsburg, for reinforcements, think
ing that officer would at once see
the propriety of taking advantage
of the division Of Buell's forces.
But Bragg, instead of reinforcing
Hardee, sent him the very singu-
lar reason for doing so, that as the
enemy (BuelD had divided his
forces he Bragg must do the
same. Hardee laughed and swore
when he got this message-so re-
at variance with the
Napoleonic ideas upon which he
thought the campaign ought to be
conducted-and the result was
the battle of Perryville, with a
Pyrrhic victory for the rebels.

The MESSAGE.

If you're going to my lov'd ones,
Tell them all I'm still the same;
Tell them not to stay the springing
OF the tender thoughts l claim!
Tell them that IN fancy's sunshine
Oft seem to see them all,
Aud that every line and feature,
Warm and life-like recall!
Tell them feeling springs from feeling,
Every thrill their bosoms felt
Ran to mine, my spirit kindPd,
Burn'd, and blush'd and seemd to melt.
Surely love hath much of blessing,
If it makes affections start;
And its dulcet noiseless whispers
Wake sweet echoes In the hearth
Tell my lov'd ones, when you meet them,
That the world is harsh and cold;
And I've found what they foretold me,
That its bliss is bought and sold.
Smiles are only vain responses,
Gifts are worthless in their aim;
Words are triAes, and their tinklings
Are but clearer sounds of shame.
Tell my lov'd ones common treasures
May by frequent use grow dim,
But the joy their friendship gives me
Shadeless meets the besom's brim.
Father, mother, brother, sister,
And the few l love beside;
Tell them that my spirit fingers,
When I'm pray'd for, by their side!

What it Costs.

Our model Governor informs
lis, through his organ, the Knox
vile Wing, that six companies of
his militia have been mustered
into service, and are drawing pay
from the State. He also says he
intends to take the responsibility
of putting the rest of the compa-
MES in the field. He says these
six companies, SO far cost ten
thousand dollars. Now, it is a
very simple problem by the Rule
of Three: If six companies, for
one month, cost ten thousand dol
lars, what will eighty companies
eight regiments) cost for six
months? He thinks Congress will
appropriate "the few thousand
dollars necessary to feed and clothe
the militia during the few months
they are in service!' We hardly
think the majority in Congress
take such deep interest in the
election of William G.. as to pay
his bill, and if they did their
constituents do not.-Chat. Union.

Grating graves of Union soldiers,
who denied all through the war,

Drowning and Supersti-
tiOn.

A couple of weeks ago, in Knox
county, Iowa, a young lady fell
into Yellow river, when Mr.. Zerbe,
who lived near, jumped in to save
her. She clasped him so as to
disable him from swimming, and
both were drowned. The New
Albany Ledger tells the following
story as to the effort made to re-
cover Mr.. Zerbe's body, that of
the lady being readily found
cit was suggested that if one Of
his own shirts was thrown into the
stream above the place of drown
ing, and allowed to float down I'M
interrupted over the place where he
last went down, it would sink at
the spot where he was then lying.
As an experiment, this was imme-
diately tried, and the shirt was
watched with much curiosity and
deep intensity by all on the banks
of the river, and carefully follow
ed by young Swartzell in small
boat; when, after floating some
six or eight rods, it suddenly dis
appeared from sight. The Crap
pling hooks were Immediately
used, and the body drawn up, pre-
cisely at the place where the shirt
disappeared. With many others
we are somewhat incredulous In
relation to such matters, but when
anything is so clearly demonstra-
ted as in this instance, we are led
to more firmly believe the old
seriptural quotation, that all things
are possible with God"

The Brooklyn Eagle animadverts
upon Brownlow's proclamation, in
which he said:
"Wherever violent speeches
are made, infaming the bad pas
sions of bad men, 1 deem 1t my
duty to station troops, and shall do
so, let the consequences be what
they may. And although the
greatest imaginable freedom of the
press and speech should be allowed
to men of all parties, and the con-
duct of public men and their meas
ures should be criticised without
reserve, / do not conceive it to be
the duty of the State Guards to
stand quietly by and hear any
man excite the mob spirit by de-
nouncing the Federal and State
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to the
Courts-and setting aside of their
decisions by force ormob violence"
And makes the following COM
ment:
'In other words, Brownlow is
at once a candidate and a Cover
nor. Brownlow, the candidate,
may be criticised in the ''freest
MANNER" but Brownlow, the Gov
ernor, will at once interfere,
through his cohorts. "My son"

How SUGAR is MADE WHITE
The way in which sugar is made
perfectly white, it is said, was
found out in curious way. A
hen that had gone through mud
puddle went with her muddy feet
into q sugar house. 1t was observ-
ed by some one that wherever the
tracks were, the sugar was Will
tened. This led to some expert
ments. The result was that wet
clay came to be used in refining
sugar. 1t is used in this way :
''The sugar is put into earthen
jars, shaped as you see the sugar
loaves are. The large ends
are upward. The smaller ends
have hole in them. The jar is
filled with sugar, the clay put
over the top, and kept wet. The
moisture goes down through the
sugar, and drops from q hole in
the small end of the jar. This
makes the sugar perfectly white"

The Importance ola Vote.

The Importance of every mans
voting in contest against the
Radicals, is forcibly illustrated
by the result in Connecticut
One Democratic candidate for the
Senate was defeated by four votes,
and this gives the Radicals one
majority in that body, and twelve
more votes would have given the
Democrats a majority in both
houses. We hear, occasionally, of
men in this section, who are dis
posed not to vote at all, because
they are disguised with the sit
uation; but we hope they will
think and act differently when
they refectupon the value Of every
vote, and that it is by votes alone,
that the situation can be peaceably
changed for the better. Remem-
Der Connecticut, and every man
to the polls!
