that home.
"Kennst du das land wo die citronen blum !"
Or. as Byron chan Eed, KNOW ye the
land where the cypress and myrtle
Goethe had the sentiment; Byron the
imitation. All our grand emotions are
deep-inspirstions are from the Ger
man. Yes, we all sigh for the land OF
lowers-the sunny, the generous, the
chivalric South the home of brave men,
modest and beautiful women.
There are many Tennesseesns in the
North. You will fnd them mostly in
New York; and when wanted, call for
them, and they will fly 10 the aid Of their
fellows, il needs be, to assist in ridding
Tennessee Of that, Radical crustacea,
whose carapsx needs puncturing to let
ont some OF the venom that they are
shining the South with. The revolution
| in Spain is but sequence of the troubles
in this country. The United States has
set the peaceful world bad example,
and we may see its fruits IN general
European war, unless the Western pow
ers form coalition against the States,
using the Chinese or the Nicaragua ques-
tions-the latter good bone of conten-
tion-as pretext to open the ball. The
concessions of the latter, in the matter OF
transit to the United States for an in.
considerable sum, has awakened the
ire and jealousy of France and England.
And it is quite possible they NAV urge
claims not acceptable to the United
States, and, perchance attempt the en-
forcemeut of them; and if so, the Amer
can Eagle can get his beak and talons
well smeared with the blood of Saxon
and Gaul. The scent is most grateful to
nv olfactories, as it is borne upon the
breeze.

have peace" is the cry of the nation, but
war m ay come of it. However these chat
ter-boxes of the Radical party. who are
crying LET us have peace" are very
much like the illustration, because
haIf-a dozen grasshoppers under fern,
make the field ring with their importunate
clink, while thousands of. great cattle re-
posing beneath the shadows of the British
oak. chew the cud and are silent. Pray
do not imagine that those who make the
noise are the only inhabitants of the
field. that of course they are many in
number. or that, after all, they are other
than the little shriveled, meagre, hop
ming. though loud and trou olesome in
scots of the hour" Such are the
noisy scallawags of the South, who are
melting the negro to acts of rape, murder
and robbing, to crafty their hate OF a
Southern gentleman; but let each OF those
rascals remember that the weapons they
are using for the destruction of the South
will be found to act as an Australian
boomerang in the hands of novice ;
giving death to the thrower rather than
injury to the victim. They cry peace,
and are breeding war; prate OF morality
with their bands in the Southern mans
nocket. A Radical is a Simon, that
crafty, perjured Greek, who, after re-
ceiying naught but kindness at the hands
Of the people, deluied the TrojaHs to
take into their city Grecian horse, tul !!
of armed men, who, issuing forth, sacked
and burnt the city. The South has well
coined the perjured villains to her
hearths and firesides, and they are re-
Maid in the coin Of Sinon-ingratitude,
treachery. and universal sscking of the
South. That is the proper term-the
