Looking Ahead.

Since Grants election, some OF the Dem
ocrats are finding a multitude Of virtues in
him, and are deriving multiplex comfort
! from the same. He is o Conservative; he
! is almost as much of a Democrat as Mr..
| Seymour; he has nothing of the Radical in
his makeup. These alleged facts are the
source Of their comfort, and from this state
Of comfort they arc elusive of good advice
to the incoming Chief Magistrate. If he
will only do as they in their wisdom direct,
all viii be well What an onportunitv he
has for being nobly magnanimous How
can he lot slip the chance for the immortal
10y that can be won by the simple and easy
process of choosing his Cabinet from among
the Blairs, the Bramlettes, the Garrett Da-
vises, and other such excellent Democrats,
with n mild Republican hayoring Of Fessen-
dens and Hendersons? In other words,
and in plain English, having got out of the
Republican party all that they can give
him, why not turn his back on them and
win the admiration of rebels and Democrats
by giving them the offices and letting them
shape the policy of his administration p
Mr. Johnson did this why not Gen. Grant
Well really, we suppose that the main rea-
son why not, lies in the fact that General
Grant is not Andrew Johnson A horse
doesn't wallow in the miro for the appar-
emily insignificant fact that he is not hog.
just here it is not out of the way to say
that although Gen. Grant remains as close
mouthed as is his habit, it has nevertheless
come to be understood that he favors a con-
stitutional amendment which will empower
and require Congress to regulate suffrage
in the States, and to make it uniform and
impartial throughout the whole broad
Union. The necessary preliminary action
in Congress can be had as soon as the ses-
sion opens in December; the amendment
can be laid before the State Legislatures as
soon as they come together in January and
the requisite action on the part of a sufficient
number of them can be completed early
enough for Congress to pass the regulating
law in the spring before adjourning. Let
these things be done, and we shall have
uniform and impartial suffrage in Kentucky
and Delaware, as well as in Tennessee and
Wisconsin, and that too, in season for the
elections next fall That gained, the heav-
lest toll and struggle Of the party of justice
and generous progress viii be over. Speed
the day.

GENTLEMEN; Permit me to ask you what you
intend doing with the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION Exists there less necessity for the or
ganization in city to-day than last spring. when
many of you under the impulses of a newly begot-
ten ZEAL banded yourselves together for spiritual
Improvement as well as for the advancement Of tho
Redeemers kingdom "a. ..-rE
The very name by which the Association is chris
tened implies that each member Of the body is pro-
tossed disciple of Jesus FOLLOWERS Of Christ is your
work of reformation complete2 Have all your IS
sociates abandoned the cup which indbriates ana
fOrsaken the haunts of the gambler Are there no
more souls to be reclaimed from the dens Of inqui-
ty, or prohigste spirits to be redeemed frorn the
thraldom of sin Has the Sabbath of our beloved
city ceased TO be profaned Has theswearer hushed
his vile oaths, and every brothel closed its gaping
doors to its ruined, demented victims? Have the
noble youths committed by trusting parents 10
your University bsen introduced into the hallowed
precincts Of your Association? Is every man with
in your circle Of observation walking erect in the
moral principles which should govern his manhood
If such be not the true record of facts, how dare
you shut your asylum-your house of refuge--or
abete your efforts in this great refornatory movo-
ment of the age7 Has your Divine Leader re-
leased you from the obligations you felt it duty
to assume last SPRING Have you become discour-
aged because your effort has been unpopular with
wit and beauty? Shall it expire because the love
Of its boasted deyotees has wsxed cold and inert or
because the organization makes constant drafts up
on your purse? ont apon such patt,.y cTcnsesl
Ye young men Of Knoxville Of the different
Churches, can We not, and viii ye not, sink party
strifes and animositos, and rally in one solid phi
lanx to the work of eleyating the standard Of NOR
ais in this community? OH ,ciH you permit
wicked mon who have koonly watched (and not
without FACILITATING fears) your noble efforts to wag
their heads in dersion at your pale-faeed courage,
and mockingly chant your funeral dirgs around
their festal board r-t N
Let me beseeeh you TO take up your cross again,
and go forward undismayed Pander not to the
caprice Of worldly taste, but mako your sanctuary
Bethel, a sacred spot, where tho lark Of Cod can
abide in safety Let not your Association descend
to mere intellectual pursuits--to the frivolous
amusements of petty lyceum, or the introduction
of any element foreign to tho Legitimate work of tbs
bOdyi and Their shall you realize the presence OF
Emanuel in your midst, and cloud heavy with
mercy shall hang over your tabernacle 10 water
and fertilize all your labors. Truly yours,

which, though freely used, failed in changing the
glorious result.
The sun Eo4o in unclouded brilliancy and Nature
seemed to smile on the day suspicious of crown
ing victory. The chivalry 'smiled" aso-several
times. They smiled frequently, and some were seen
to have ticklers" which probably accounts for it.
The "boys in blue laughed.
At some points the result was for time doubt
full. The enemy made incredible efforts to carry
Indiana, whose people being only ignorant BOOSTERS
it was deemed easily done. Morgan's guerrillas
from "Confederate Y Roads bore down in fierce
array, but made no impression on our serried ranks
With them it was as with Lochie:
" Welcome proud Cumberlsnd's steed 10 the shock,
Like fosm on the crest Of the surf-beaten rock"
The adherents Of tho "lost cause battled with the
same desperate valor they displayed while uphold
ing the Conquered Banner.
