The Pope is pushing on the Notifications
of Rome with all possible expedition, and
he has lately been receiving heavy arina-
ments of siege guns from Toulon His holi-
ness Is fairly concvined that Europe is on
the eve Of q great war, and few days since
he took occasion TO deplore the blocdshed
that would attend IL. At the same time, he
haIiaves the result will be beneficial to the
Papacy and tile temporal power. If 1t would
be allowable TO doubt the accuracy OF the
Popes judgement, we should diHcredit ms
opinion that the Papaey would be benefited
by the next war. We suppose that France
viii DO party to the war and we suppose
that If hard pressed the Emperor viii with
draw his Army Of OccupatIor from Rome
and we suppose that the Garibaldian Party
Of Action and the Italion Party would be
likely to dispute tho Popes opinion on
Mount Mario and the Aventine.

More Rebel Lies Coming Home TO
R0Ogt.

We have been requested 10 give a true account
Of an alleged outrage upon Rev. Mr.. Gray, rebel
Methodist preacher, at Walnut Grove, in Campbell
county. A garbled statement Of the AFFAIR was pub
lished in the Press aid Herald and In the Press and
MESSENGER, Of July 30ta. IL was published over
The s,s,nnt1re Of an aEx-Federal Soldier" aud
nrobablv rittea or at least dictated, by the rebsl
PREACHER hinselY and It represented crowd as cob
iected with arms 10 drive him away, and that be
nut his hand into his pocket if feeling for arms
and they eed and left him master of the Held.
We have the following account of the affair, writ
ten by George irwin, and endorsed by Nj Morton,
both citizens there and known to US as truthful re-
liable men
In answer to an article published in the Knox
vile Press aid Messenger Of July 3oth, facts should
always be admitted. Mr.. Gray published an APP
pointment of two months standing. During THIS
time he was informed thst the good people did not
wish 10 hear him preach at Walnut Grove, out he
came to his appointment Some citizens were there:
On the arrival of Mr. Gray, said citizens informed
him that they did not wish 10 hear him preach, on
account of his dsloyalty. In reply, Mr.. Gray said
be would go away. he retired invoking GODS
blessings on those gentlemen, and they, in answer
said, ayou, too, NJ. Gray
This is a correct statement. No harsh or often
sive language was used-ro arms were seen or pre-.
sented. An old, grsy-heaied man held in his hand
a small sourwood cane, upon which be supported
himself An was neace and quiet. We head no
renort of arms about the church during that day
In short all those charges of shameful charac-
ter are false and unfounded. The "Ex-Federal Sol
der" has assaied the character Of better men than
himself. In fact he has deyiated from truth. Per-
hsps his informant is yet laboring under that en-
baTrassment which seized him at Walnut Grove
where The staff of the aged man assumed tie APP
nesranoe of a nnusket-wbere be mistook gentlemen
for tends in human shape, and where he mis.ook
loyal men for tends and mobs.

EDITORS PosT The word sent South by the lead
ers of the Democratic party in sae North that Ku-

At Brownsville, on last Monday, a negro man
was whipped by squad of the unsubdued. His
name is Austin. he was beaten over the head with
pistols and shot at and then his clothes were taken
of, and he was cruelty whipped. An officer of the
law assisted to take Of his breeches.
Between Moulton and Decatur, Alabams, on last
Saturday night, messenger Of tho Southern Ex-
press Company, named Jennings, was riding in 8
carriage with friend, when they were seized by
Kuklux, taken into the woods and threatened with
hanging and whipping. Their protsstations in
duced the Kuklux to let them 90, after robbing
them Of their arms and threatening vengeance If
they made any fuss about It.
The Rev. Mr.. Hughes, Of Columbia, Tennessee,
arrived here yesterday. He reports that on Mon
day night the Kuklux at Columbia took colored
man from the cara. and, after brutal abuse, killed
him. Mr.. Hughes being afraid Of his life, left Co

HORSE SHoEINe.-A new system of shoeing
horses is recommended in the recently published
report of the Juries of the French Exhibition. It's
inventor, NJ. Charlier, contends that the present
style Of shoe destroys the horses foot and subst-
tutes for it an iron band, fitted into rectangular
groove scooped from the outer circle Of the horses
foot This band is fastened with seven rectangular
nails, driven into oval holes The sole of the foot
and the frog are thus allowed 10 touch the ground,
the horse never slips and gets diseases Of the
foot. The new shoe has been aried by n Languet,
a large jobmaster in Paris, and has reduced lame
ness in his stables two-thirds. The Omnibus Com
pany have also shod 1900 horses, and speak Of the
Improvement in high terms.

In recent speech, Wade Hampton, Of South
Carolina, said;
The old Government was honored at homs and
respected abroad; taxation was light and plenty
blessed the land"
If this we're so, then yvhy did Hampton wuge
furious, bloody and protracted war to destroy the
old Government? Those whom he and his asso-
cates now tradace gave half million of lives and
five thousand millions of money to preserve that
Government. These Southern gentlemen should
know that the people of the North estimate at its
real value their present solictude for tho honor of
"the old Government" The advice tkey are SO
lavishly rendering in the pending campaign is not
relished by loyal men of either party. If they
really desire the election of Seymour, prudence, if
not modesty, would bow them to the rear. They
don't look well in front.

Double.Faeed Democracy.

The party supporting General Grant for the Pres
idency has claimed for the colored people 80
cial equality or promised to give it to them. All
they have asked for the negro was equal political
rights.
President johnson, while Military Governor of
Tennessee said in all bis speeches Call an
AbolitiOnist or whatever you rebels and traitors
like. ask that the eolored man sball have fair
start and an equal chance in TIE race Of life"
Horace Maynard beautifully and expressively ut
tered the same sentiment when he said: Let our
lGtos and our 'sstitttions speak not of ,0e men, not
of red men, not of black men, not of Of any
pEsrio,s; but IKE the IapOs of God-the Ten Com
ntGndnsentS and the Lords Praysr-Iet them speak
Of the People"
Gen. w. T. Sherman said If you admit the
negro to this struggle for any purpose he has right
to stay in for all, and when the fight is over the
hand that drops the musket cannot be denied the
ballot"
An equal chance for all is the creed of the Repub
lcans, and then social and other differences will
regulate themselves. This the Democrats cannot
understand. 1t is step in reasoning beyond the
Nasty Democratic intellect, and accordingly we
find the Democracy South in their efforts TO get the
colored vote absolutely promising them not only
social equality but social superiority The appended
copy of hand bill lately posted at Helena, Arkan-
sas, affords happy illustration of this fact:

Helena, August 10, 1868.
Democracy is double-faced and double-tongued-
one thing North and another thing South.
The black race are I'D niggers in Ohio or
East Tennessee where there are few of Them but in
the South where they are numerous they are our
colored friends" our colored brethren" Will the
duped and deceived white men of the country take
notice of this ? The Republican or Radical creed
is one and the same verywhere-Human Freedom
and Equal Rights to all.
