LONDON SooETY. December

From among many very readable

Rooms" "The Piccadilly Papers"
and "Thumbnail Studies in the Lon

the public prefer "Putnam's," which
they have recently revived.

"by misfortune and contrary to his
will"
We had occasion, lately, to direct
attention to the grant of patent to
one of our citizens, for an improved
method of smelling Iron. Again we
find another for an improvement in
the "fine arts" DR.. Reynolds, of
this city, as will be seen by an adver-
tisement elsewhere, has received q
patent for an important improvement
in the construction of artificial teeth.
This speaks well for the ability of
scientific, practical men of our COM
munity, and we rejoice to see its
existing talent drawn out by force of
circumstances, or in any way. We
have seen specimens of the inven-
ton Immediately referred to, and
from the familiarity we possess in
such matters. as to ourselves and
family connections. do not hesitate
to pronounce this improvement an
entire success, calculated, as it is, to
obviate the annoyance experienced
by those unfortunate enough to have
had trial of the present mode of sup
plying lost teeth. The well estab-
lished professional reputation of DR..
Reynolds entities whatever he may
vouch for to the confidence OF
his professional brethren abroad, as
it certainly will command that of
practitioners of our own and neigh
boring States. 1t is always cheering
to us to record improvement and
progress. Go on-who comes next?
SERIOUS DIFFICULTY AT Fort
MoTTE.-We learn that difficulty
occurred Thursday morning, between
Mr.. Diedrich Hane and freedman,
in which the latter was shot and So
verely wounded. There was consi-
derable excitement among the freed
men in the neighborhood, and the
military commander was telegraphed
to, who sent company down to
preserve the peace. When they
arrived, they found that the disturb
ance had been quieted, and that Mr..
Hane had been arrested by o civil
officer and conveyed to Orangeburg
Jail, TO await the result of the wounds
of tho freedman. The company re-
turned last night, with the exception
of On officer and ten men, who
were left to quell any further dis
turbanoe that might arise.

The Rector Of the Church Of the
Blessed Virgin hss gone to Rome, where,
he says, be can alone fad thai true re
Iigion, and undefilod, which he has in
vain sought to eBgraft upon the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in Memphis. Like
s true man, the moment he found his
convictions were in opposition to shat
which be vas expected by the Church Of
his ordination to preach, be recants pub
Ecly and boldly, turns his back upon
vhathe deems is error and his face to the
Eternal City. This is what We looked
FOR when we read Cur reverend friends
first letters from Europe, in which be
euloglzed the Catholic faith, ritual and
practice, as only q devotee OF the
ancient Mother Church can. Ia Europe,
standing almost Immediately IN pres
ence Of Rome herself, Mr.. ROGERS, for
the first time confronted the
Catholic Church rs a national church,
around which clusters the intellect, the
culture aud the Intelligence Of great ma
lions. The germ Of his Catholicity was
quickened by the spectacle, expanded
amid conflicts and doubts Of mind, and
the demands Of the creed Of Anglican
ism, and eventually eliminated io the
Church Of he Blessed Virgin where, as
Priest, he hss struggled out Of Protestant
ism and into what IS most cOBgenisl to
his mind snd his heart. As we once be-
fore remarked Of him, he has leaned to
Rome foE fully twenty years. His re-
cautation mus. moi, then, be considered
as the result of any pressure from his late
brethren Of the Episcopal communion or
as 8 means Of shl. king responsibilities
to his late Bishop. l. IS simply the result
Of 8 train Of thought, every connecting
link Of which is as clearly trScssble as
those from cause to effect. He is, then,
to be congratulated fol- his consistency
rather than be reflected upon for leaving
g faith that was no longer speaking COM
fort or hope 10 him, and from which he
could not draw the holy -sustenance that
is the life OF every religious eongrega-
ton, through its pastor. The friends OF
Mr. ROGERS mus continue TO regard
him a. e friend, in no way changed, save
that he has transferred his allegiance to
Rome, where he expects to G1d "the
center of his Masters Kingdom"

nrrcraTION.

| Governor 6ROWNLOw, in his Message,
which We publish This morning, dWells
with emphasis upon the subieet of i'm
migration, and urges some suggestions
that viii, if adopted, in our opinion,
enable Tennessee to realize her proper
ticn Of the large number of immigrants
daily reaching the Atlantic seapcrts
from Europe. He recommends-snd we
hope the recommendation will meet
with 4 hearty response from The Legisls-
ture-thsta State Immigrant Society be
formed, to be composed OF responsible
citizens, and to be subsidized by the
Legislature by an annual appropriation.
This would enable such a society to enl-
pIoy competent sgenis at all the impoT-
tant sesports, and make use Of the null
tiplied means Of information as to cur
soil, products and c~limate-suoh ss is
ususIy given, and by which immigrants
are attracted to other States.
To this, the Governor should sid
the suggestion that = competent
gentleman (such as can be named by
aBy OF our contemporaries of Nashyille),
under the direction Of 8 Committee Of
the Legislature, be employed to prepare
e brief and concise pamphlet descriptive
Of our State, its mineral wealth, pT0duc-
tiveness and productions, cur climate
and cur water power, together with q
true and faithful character OF u people,
the number Of u churches, school hou-
sss, and cur prospective increase. SGch 3
pamphlet, translated into the German,
Dutch, Danish, Swedish, French, Itsl-
ian and Spanish languages, distributed
throughout the respective domain OF
these countries, would inform their peo-
pie end induce the immigration to en-
courage which Gov. BR0wNAow will
find every good man in the State ready
10 ierd a helping hand.
Bot this Society must not be & partisan
one, nor be g mere machine for party
purposes, nor be organized for the purpose
OF encouraging idle and vagrsnt office
holders. It should be as liberal in its
composition as the purposes for
which it is to be called into existence
are broad and comprehensive. Only the
true interests OF the State should be con-
suited. No man should be permitted a
share in its workings whose intelligence
and character does not it him for the
peculiar labor of caring for and assigning
immigrants, and looking after their vel
fare, at least until they are able TO care
for themselves. We hope that in this
spirit and with this purpose, such a So
ciety will be Immediately chartered and
organized, so That by next spring the
agents OF Tennessee may be found every
where in Europe where il is possible to
induce emigration to our State.

Is IT A sTRAM1

A special Washington dispatch to the
New Orleans Times, q few days ago,
eontsiced the significant information
that Gen. GRANT had qusrreled with
Illinois, AsHBURNE, the leader Of the
ultra wing, and for so many years the
oonscienee-keepe of the President elect.
II this be true, g greater earnest OF
GRANTS conservative disposition could
scarcely be given. Coupled with his
letter OF acceptance, his general silence
upon poiltiesl matters, and his refusal to
avail himself Of shy OF the thousand
chances to speak that have been afforded
him by the people before and since the
election, this quarrel with his reputed
guardian may possibly be taken as a
straw indicating that The wind blows to-
