eft would this day have been no better of
than had II never. been given. As il ia we
have 9 comfortable hons and many nice, dear
children who are being well trained and ed
ucated and will become useful members of
society," We say God speed our noble sddres.
With the presentation of these facts, this
question should come up very forcibly to ey-
cry citizen Of this State: Shall we, after 20
much has been done, abandon the enterprise,
or shall we, by our kind words and liberal
aid, enable the ladies to maintain this noble
charity and make the Orphans Hone mon
ument TO the State, and the proadest monu-
lnent we could erect to the memory of her
fallen Braves. 49, ~

bronze or monumental marble, but in the

The lady managers desire TO return their
most heartfelt thanks TO every contributor to
the Christmas Festival, and to make special
acknowledgment Of the very valuable do
nations received last week. From the La
dies Society Of Brownsville, Tenn, s279
a box Of valuable clothing aud bed clothing,
from Mr.. John Burks, Of Louisville ky.,
Crutcefeld 4 Gamblers, committee, valued at
$500; also from Mr.. Watson NJ. Cook, of
Nashville, Tenn, two boxes of boots shoes
and hats, valued at $l0s. These items were
kindly furnished us, so we feel at liberty to
speak OF them.
We would add also, that the ladies desire
the Auxiliary Societies TO send on all chill
dren, Immediately, who may desire to avail
themselves of the advantages offered to them
in this Institution.
And, in conclusion, would say, we think
the Institution grand iuccess beyond any
doubt and hope the heretofore liberal hands
Will not now be stayed, but continue to min
lister to the wants Of the helpless grateful
Orphans, and your rewards shall be not g
few. More anon.

Our Warehcasemen are now send
ing out circulars, showing the sdvan-
tages to the planter, afforded by this
place as a tobacco market. Clarks-
vile tobacco is known and apprecia-
ted wherever the weed is ased, and
the inference of the buyer is that
Clarksville is the place to buy It, and
hence we shall always find enough
capital concentrated here to pay for
the entire crop, if offered here. The
last season foreign governments were
literally represented here and so far
from not having competition enough
prices were sustained throughout the
season, and every hogshead offered,
was competed for and forced to bring
a price equivalent to its merits.
1t is the opinion of some farmers
that higher prices can be obtained
in Louisville and New York but ex-
perience has demonstrated that the
difference in prices will not more than
cover the additional charges incident
to shipment to those points, indeed it
/ is well known that tobacco was re-
peatedly bought in Louisville, and
resold here at profit. Another ad-
vantage in selling here, is that the
farmer can see his tobacco inspected
and sold and receive his money with
out the delay consequent upon dis
tani shipment and the risk of damage
on the way and of foul play in the
sale.
The stories told by N. Y. drum
mers are pure fictions designed to
mislead the unwary, and to divert
the tobacco trade from its legitimate
course. The Spectator who buys
here, to sell in New York, bases his
operations not upon the superiority of
the latter as a market, but upon his
knowledge of the European markets
where certain kinds of tobacco will
command the highest prices. This
is an incidental advantage to the
Spectator, from which the producer
derives but little profit. This is the
best market for the farmer in the
United States.

We invite the attention Of the
reader to Gen. Grants private letter
to the President, on the removal of
Stanton and Sheridan. All doubt as
to his Radicalism is dispelled by the
light furnished by that letter. The
defender of such men, can be nothing
but Radical, and betrays his own
unworthiness by endorsing their des-
potic and criminal acts, 1t is true that
in defending Sheridan, he is defend
ing himself, for it was by his orders
that Sheridan played the ruthless dep
redator in the Valley of Virginia; but
in upholding Stanton Grant paints
bis own character, thereby showing
his unGtness for the high position in
connection with Wli,h his name Is

Judge Drlen, smartlng unuer MS
failure to get the nomination for a
judgship made speech in Nashville,
one night last week, in which he free
ly ventilated the rascality of yankee
Radicals and declared himself in ia
vor of universal suffrage. Judge
Brien belongs to the party of native
Radicals, who see, with feelings of
CONSERVATION, that the noathern in
terlopers are monopolizing the hon.
ors and profits of the "ring," and
hence the split, which promises rich
Developments and, perhaps, a change
for the better, in the political situa-
ton. The Judge ought not to have
been surprised at the unfavorable
turn of affairs against him and his
party He is forgetful of two facts
which fully explain the mystery. In
the first place, no people are disposed
to repose confidence in men who
have proven themselves unworthy of
it by the betrayal of their friends and
neighbors. The negroes know that
every native Radical is the betrayer
of his race and his native land, and
the yankees urge this fact as a reason
why such traitors should not be trus
ted. The feeling of distrust is deep
ly rooted, and the consequent repu-
diation Of native Radicals, is a just re
tribution for their treason as we'll as
for their active co.opration with ad.
venturers who came from the North
to reap the harvest of plumber which
the natives had sown for their own
gamers.
In the second place, the negroes
are not free; they belong to the yam.
KEGS and are by them employed t.
| perform whatever acts may injure the
white men of the South without any
reference to political Professions
To be southern white man is al
that is needed to arouse negro hos
tility. The yankee Radical hates anC
distrusts him as southern born and
therefore, q traitor to his race and t.
his native land and, second, he is on,
too many in the division of the spoil
for the possession of which he, tn,
yankee, left home and friends and
perhaps, a snug berth in a northern
Pcnetentiary.
These multiform considerations, i
duly weighed, ought to have convinc
ed Judge Brien long ago, that he AM
his native Radical friends had no
thing more to hope from negroes ant
yankees than the rebels themselve
who are more respected for their man
ly honesty and consistency, by tn
black and tans, than any Radical ct,
the manor born," and to race an,
home untrue.

Upon the reverse side Of the card was the

IN the mute eloquence of that last sad in
yitation, coupled with and so soon succeed
ing. the marriage announcement, there is a
pathos beyond the power of words to con-
vey the full measure of the grief which must
have dictated it. In all our experience We
have never known or read of 10 poignantly
distressing family aflliction. At a season
when all the world is wont TO rejoice over a
Savior's birth, and on an occasion Of all
others. when death could have been least ex ,
pected, two households are plunged in
mourning, fair young bride is widowed al
most at the altar, and the bridegroom of her
young hearts choice, bouy ant with hope and
happiness, is rudely snatched from ihe scenes
of earth, ere yet the fall fruitiou OF their

aud we may well exclaim
-"Ah what an unkind hour

The circumstances attending the prospec-
tive marriage and It's rude interruption by
this unexpected death, are peculiarly touch
| ing. These two young persons, long afii-
anced and steadfastiy devoted TO each other,
had deferred their wedding, by reason Of the
Illness Of the deceased, who had been suffer
ing from an affection Of the throat which
was supposed TO be an attack of acute bron-
chitis. During his illness he was nursed and
tended by his fdaees, with all the tenderness
aud self-sacrihcing devotion of a sister. A
welded wife could not have been more con-
slant or unremitting in ministering by the
couch OF a beloved husband. BY and-by the
sufferer grew stronger, and better--the bloom
OF health rekindled in his cheek, and the
bright eye sparkied with It's wonted hopeful
lustre. His medical advisers approving, tina

In the Houss Of Representatives, on Friday,
Mr. Brooks, Of New York, said:
We intend to undo what has been done by
this Congress, and we shall, sooner Or later,
have the power within the walls Of tho House
to undo it all. These proceedings in Chic and
New Jersey are but the beginning Of the revo-
luton which has already made its app pearance
elsewhere; and the precedents and prerogatives
and powers which the majority in thl, House
is now assuming in the most revolutionary
manner we intend 10 make use of to undo all
these revolutionary and violent oceedings.
So the honorable gentleman from Massachu-
setts might as well make up his mlne now to
see the beginning Of this great reactlonary
movement. We do not intend to deprive the
negroes of the South of their liberty. We intend
to allow them fve-ffths representation, not
q three-ffths one, which the negroes In the
North are having. But we do not intend to al
low, 30 far as we can help it, the people OF the
North to be brought into negro co-partner-
ship in government on the floor OF tins House,
or to be ruled by the black majorities, by rot
ten borough negro constituencies in the South.
We do not intend to be ruled by any such gov
ernment as that, and all the processes OF legis-
lation by which that has been reach5d, or ls
to be reached. Through State Legislatures,
as in Ohio; through State action, o., in New
Jersey; through $4,000 popular majority IN m my
own state, TO De 1ncreaSeu ueA1 year w AVo.voo.
If this House goes on with those proceedings
we intend to undo them all. repeat, that
everything which has been done is to be IN
done. The voice of the people is no longer to
be heard in whispers, but in the loud roar Of
the whirlwind, coming from all parts of the
county; and it will sooner or later 1nseat
large majority of those who now constitute the
majority on this floor, putting in their places
the Democracy of the country. If the statistics
of elections are examined even now, it will be
found that large majority Of members on
this side of the House hold their seats here
and vote here on these bills who no longer re-
present their constituents, but are ncting il
utter defiance of the people who sent them
