CONFEDERATION DAY.
Our Dead are not Forgotten.

On Sunday evening last the ladies Of Pu-
laski were seem to come out from their
homes in squads Of two and four. and six
and dozen, and in company with their
husbands, and fathers, and brothers and
beaux, bearing baskets Of flowers. directing
their footsteps toward the cemetery, where
lie buried the fallen braves of the dead
Confederacy. At the cemetery they NOV
ed back and forth, without ostentation and
without ceremony. silently twining gar
lands and evergreens for the graves of our
dead. Not with peans of praises to glory
not with laurels to deck the conqueror's
brow-nor yet with banners to faunt above
a victor's head--bat with flowers. pale
flowers. emblems Of purity and truth. to
honor in silence and ia tears, the dust of
our brave and true.
"Methinlzs now from Heaven, our braves look down
A fair sisters here Irvine immortelles-
ABOVE they are weaving moro beautiful crown
For their brows when they pass Heavens portals"
There are but few ConfederaIes buried
here, and all of them are stangers except
four. -Four as knightly souls as ever weld

Confederacy had in her service, lie bu-

The Tornado.

In the last CITIZEN we mentioned the
fact that this place was visited on Wedaes-
day. 6;h inst, by a hail storm followed by
heavy wind and rain, but at that time we
had no idea of its extent. It was not con-
fined to this vicinity or to any particular
course or track. We first hear of it in West
Tennessee, traversing several counties,
scattering death and destruction in it's
course.
It's force and fury was felt to an alarming
extent in the northern portion of this coun-
ty. On Big Greek. Jas. E. Alternately, Esq,
is the greatest sufferer. Col Wnkinson's
gin aud fences were carried of, and many
others suffered more or less in the loss of
fencing and valuable timber The storm
crossed the N. &. D. r. R, at Reynolds
station, destroying everything in its i'm
mediate track. Thence ranging Up Rich
land creek, it carried away roofs and fen
ces and uprooted trees, but fortunately no
lives were lost that we know of. We mr.
derstand that S. B. Marsh Esq. near Cor
nersville, was badly damaged in the loss of
fences, timber and out-houses, and that in
the vicinity of Cornersville the destruction
| to every one who happened to be in lis
wake was fearful On the Marchbanks
farm the young cotton was literally uproot-
ed so tEst it will have to be replanted.
Peuusville. in Limestone county, Ala,
near the line of this county, was swept a.
way, not single house ped the fury of
the tornado except the church.
All the fruit trees were destroyed. A
Mr.. Pittmans sleght-of-hand performer. re-
ceived several internal injuries from being
crushed by falling house, while Miss
Dungy had one Of her thighs horribly mash
ed by similar catastrophe. Those who
sustained the greatest loss Of property were,
Jas. B. Reed, Dr.. Pettus Reeves, NJ. H.
Brown and Rev. R. H. Wilson. The top
of A. G. Westmoreland's stone house was
torn of and the goods left exposed to a
drenohing rain which succeeded the tenn
pest.
In Lincoln County, near Junction, Win
chester and Alabama Railroad, the storm
was more severely felt than any that ever
visited that region. The hail destroyed
nearly all the fruit, aud greatly dana ged
the corn and cotton crops by beating them
to the ground. A good many young stock
were killed.
But the devastating effects ofthe tornado
were perhaps more keenly felt in the north
part of Williamson county than any where
else. Five persons were killed and many
others wounded. Mr. Chumbly aud child
living on the Franklin pike. were killed
! and his wife and three children dangerous
" hurt Their house was blown to atoms.
The details of the woeful havoc committed
were terrifying.

GASES BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Supreme Court
room is crowded to-day with eminent lawyers,
as it is expected that the McArdle Mississippi
case will come up. 1t involves the constitu-
tioaalty of the reconstruction law.
Judge Black will appear for the petitioner
and argue that the laws are unconstitutional,
and Senator Trumbull, who is in Court, is
probably to appear for Gen. Grant, arguing
that the acts under which the case occurred,
are constitutional.
involves the question as to whether the South
ern States which are excluded from represen-
tation in Congress are States of the Union,
and whether they have standing in this U. S.
Supreme Court
The case grows ont of the indemnity bonds
Of the United States TO Texas, amounting to
several millions of dollars.
THESE bonds remained in the possession OF
the State until some time during the late war;
when the Coniederates Government of Texas
sold them to White, Chiles & Co, of Ken-
lucky. and to other parties in New York and
elsewhere.
In the early part of 1867 Mr.. A. T. Merrick
of this city, as counsel for the State of Texas,
made application for an injunction to prevent
the negotiation of the bonds thus sold.
The Injunction was granted, and now the
purchasers come into court, and, through theil
counsel, ask dissolution OF the injunction OF

Union, and has no standing in the Supreme
