The visit Of Queen Victoria to the Conti-
nent e1cites the greater interest from the fact
that she,has hitherto kept herself 30 tightly
shut up in her little island, never extending
her excursions farther than to Balmoral. She
has dropped in on Eugenie, who went down to
Cherbourg to offer her 8 welcome to France
and Paris, and Immediately pushed on to Swift
zerIand.: There is doubtless a hearty desire
for relief by change in all this, but We do not
think it difficult to detect under the thin dis
guise eof "a milling travel, her desire that Of q
devoted Iover-to visit the birthplace Of her
lost Albert, and to hnger in those localities
whers he was tutored and trained, and passed
his callow manhood. For this smitten Queen,
who fails to find consolation for her profound
sorrow in the devotion of her children, the
contemplation OF the early days Of her hus-
band, in the very localities 80 much loved by
him and on which he must have descanted in
her hearing 30 many times, will prove the bal
sam that is to assist il healing the hurts Of
hr.mind. She goes to Germany to study her
grief in q new light-to see Albert as she never
saw him before-to try to realize all that he
has pictured TO her Of his youth in the happy
past-to wrest new pleasure from the grasp
Of her old wretchedness.
The thickening rumors of an alliance OF
Austria with Prussia indicate the silent pro-
gress of revolution in the affairs Of the Cont
nent, which the newly mustered array oi
France can hardly be expected to withstand.
Austria has recently taken very decided steps
IN the line Of internal reforms, and in her union
with, Hungary on such liberal terms, this for
eign action Will but increase the common re-
spect for her independent spirit, and be re-
ceiyed as q substantial pledge OF her desire to
keep pace with the active movements OF the
age. She no doubt reasons that it will be bet
ter to enter into an alliance with Prussia and
North Germany, to which the South German
States are already gravitatipg, and thus prac-
tically complete the autonomy, than to reach
her hands out across the mountains or the
plains Of Italy to Napoleon, who earned no title
to her friendship during the serious troubles
that led to sadowa. To be sure, he coldly Of

Terrible Coal Oil Accident.

We have to record this morning another
terrible coal oil accident arising from the
careless use of that dangerous illuminat-
ing fluid, which resulted in the loss of
three lives. On last thursday night, Mrs.
Fans, wife of Colonel G. A. Fans, living
a quarter of mile from Talford's Station,
on the East Tennessee and Virginia Rail-
road,was sitting up waiting on a sick child.
We understand, that several times during
the night, when she arose to give the
child its medicine, she had poured oil on
some ember in the Fireplace, for the pur-
pose of making blaze and lighting up
the room. The result was that at last the
oil in the can took fire as she was STOPPING
down over it with the child in her arms.
The can exploded and the burning cons
tents were thrown over her and her child.
With frantic screams, Mrs. Fans rushed
into another room where her husband had
been sleeping. He, aroused by her cries,
wrapped blankets and quilts around her,
endeavoring to put out the flames, burning
himself severely, but, alas, too late to save
the mother or child. The former was ter
ribly burned about the head and upper
part of the body, and the latter was burn
ed from head to foot, expiring shortly aft
erwards. Mrs. Fans, while in the ago
MES of her tortures, gave birth to another
child and on Sunday morning, the mother
and both children were buried in the one
coffin. The friends and neighbors of Col.
Fans deeply sympathise with him in his
great affliction.--Press and Herald.

Ratification Meeting.

A Democratic ratification meeting,
probably the largest ever held in Louisiana
took place at New Orleans Saturday
night. Lafayette Square, and the streets
in the vicinity, were densely packed.
There were three hundred Vice Presidents,
from the most substantial and respectable
citizens. Resolutions indorsing the nomi-
nations and platform of the New York
Convention, and pledging the cordial sup
port of the Louisiana Democracy; declar-
ing slavery dead beyond the power of any
man to resuscitate it.; condemning the
present Constitution of the State, and ex-
pressing alarm at the course of the Legis-
lature now in session returning thanks
to President johnson, ETC., were adopted /;
also expressing feelings of kindness toward
the colored people of the State, and citing
the recent election in Mississippi as an in
starce of what can be done by proper
course toward the negro population. A
resolution was also adopted in common
dation of the course pursued by United
States officers and soldiers toward the cit
liens during the late administration of the
military authorities. A prominent feature
on the stand at the meeting was number
of Catholic clergymen, two colored Rep
.resentatives, and the colored Democratic
Club. A large number of negroes were
in the procession. The most perfect or
der was maintained. Not single distur-
bance was heard Of, n ..ls 4 ts j3

The New York press, as we'll as sundry
letter writer's, implicate Tennessee rail-
road men and members of the Financial
Board. Others charge it upon New York
parties, bondholders and stock spectators.
What | propose is this: that you appoint
a Joint Select Committee of your best
and ablest men, with full powers to send
for persons and papers, so as to sift this
matter to the bottom, and ferret out the
guilty parties, whoever they may be ; and,
if found guilty, you should proceed to sue
them for damages in the name of the State
Such summary and exemplary treatment
of so fragrant offenders may serve to pro-
tect the State from like disaster in the
future, and to maintain the standard val
ne Of her bonds.

Your attention is also called to the still
partial confusion, Indebtedness, and crowd
ed condition of the Peuitentiary. A full
settlement with the lessees is desirable, if,
indeed, it is not absolutely necessary. L
do not advise the erection of additional
buildings at this time, at Nashville; but
| suggest, as l have done on former occa-
sions, the commencement of Branch
Penitentiary in the Eastern Division Of
the State. The Penitentiary at Nashville
ought to be self-sustaining but instead of
this, large appropriations Of money are an
nually required. The whole matter is
with you, and to you | submit it without
entering into detail.
COLONEL A. E. BOONE,
Whom you designated by special enact
ment to settle with, provide for and pay
off the officers and soldiers of the late
State Militia, has performed the work as
signed him, and is ready for settlement
with such Committee as you may desig-
nate.
have been appealed to by prominent
men Of both political parties, to urge up
on you the propriety ofremoving political
disa bilities formerly imposed upon large
class of rebels. The conduct of that class
of people has been, and it still is, such
that do not feel justified iR-naking that
recommendation. They have military
organization in this State, whose avowed
object Is, to trample the laws under foot
and force the party in power to enfranchise
themselves and their sympathizers.
cannot stultify myself by yielding to this
request, accompanied with threats of vio-
lence. If members of the General Assem-
bly, are alarmed for their personal safety,
and feel disposed to sue for peace upon
the terms proposed by an armed mob,
they will, of course, take different view
of the subject. Any recommendation of
this kind, if made at all, should be at
regular and not called session of your
body. And whether such recommendation
and corresponding action thereupon shall
be deemed wise at your adjourned meet
ing in November next, can then be more
safely determined by strictly observing the
conduct Of these unreconstructed Kuklux
rebels and their sympathiziug supporters,
between this time and that.
Trusting that your session may be brief
and useful, and may the hand of a kind
Providence guide your families in your
absence. w. G.. BROWNLOW.

Some of our Radical papers have been
laboring to make it appear that the DEM
ocratic ticket had no strength, and that
the Radicals expected quite an easy time
during the campaign against this ticket.
That game has already run it's brief race.
A New York dispatch of the 18th inst. to
the Cincinnati Commercial says:
The Republican papers caution the OPP
ponents Of, the Democratic against too
much confidence. The Tribune says all
Republicans must work earnestly and
faithfully, as the election of Seymour is
far from impossible. The Commercial
Advertiser gives similar caution, and says
Seymour is undoubtedly the most popular
man in the Democratic party, and will poll
an enormous vote. Eternal vigilance will
be necessary to elect Grant.
