The Water Supply.

New Orleans is Southern city-a city of
the far South, and one of the greatest rivers
of the world flows along her front. 1t would
seem that these two facts ought to be patent
to our community, and yet that community
appears to be totally ignorant OF them In
some of their most important relations.
Great Southern cities generally are and al
ways ought to be much addicted to water.
sRome built her aqueducts, which stand to
bay one of the wonders and triumphs
of engineering skill, while her public baths
were on a scale in extent and splendor I'M
surpassed by any of her other great achiev
ments. Constantinople has nothing to ex.
cite the envy of the world in matters of art
but her baths. In fact, the whole race of
Mahommcdans have invested the bath, so
important in their climate, with the sacred
character of religious rite.
The immense value of frequent additions
as q question of health i'll Southern ATTITUDES
is scarcely dreamed of by the mighty Anglo
Saxon race. 1t is true that the standard of
taste is, for many things, very different in
northern and southern ATTITUDES 1t is
true that in the Northern regions of the
British Isles, as among the Esquimaux
of this continent, whale oil would be
q highly palatable and desirable article
of diet, that moralists substitute ice
for fire in their pictures of future punish
ment, and that men look with grim dis
pleasure on water as q declared enemy. 1t
is true, also, that your genuine John Bull
cannot conceive how anything in the all
above OF in the earth below or in the waters
thereof can be better anywhere than in
Middlesex what suits in England ought to

IRISH SERVANT GIRLs.-We are very glad
to see our article on Irish servant girls
copied into the Boston Pilot, even though
it is credited to Charleston contemporary.
However, as some of the facts stated lose
their point unless connected with New Or
leans, where they occurred, we allude to
the matter merely to state that fact, and
not to complain of what is, evidently, an I'M
Intentional miscredit.

ENGLISH PROTESTANT PRELArEs.-The
London Exchange thus hits off the prepos-
ferrous pretensions of the English Protestant
hierarchy:
Certain members of the Anglican Church
and of the ritualistic press are very fond of
advocating n union between the Greek and
the English Churches. We wonder what
the bishops of the former denomination
ascetic cclibates-wOuld say if they could
see some of the dashing carriages with
mitres on the parcels, which are to be met
in every fashionable place of resort Mt the
present season, and filled with the ultra
fashionably dressed female members of some
Anglican prclate's family! During the
Derby week, when q mum Der of Frenchmen
of good standing We're in London, the face
of utter amaZement which some of them mt
on when shown an English bishops turn
out in the park, or an English bishops wife
and daughters at the OPERA was caution to
behold. But their surprise at Anglican
Episcopal life would be as nothineSconil
pared to what the 0ricntials would think
of it if they could only be shown the amos
tOlic-like establishments of the Right Rev.
Fathers in God who sit in the House of
Peers. And yet to read the Anglican papers
it might be supposed that the bishops in
this land were, as Mr.. Sothern would saw,
"ike any other" bishops A corporate re-
union between the English and Greek
Churches is about as likely as between the
former and the Catholic Church, and we all
know how probable, or how possible that is.

GRocERrEs-We would call the attention of
our readers to the advertisement of Mr.. Cannon
in another column, announcing his removal to
the corner of st. Andrew and Magnolia Streets
Kellers Row. His stock is large, the goods are
fresh and what is of prime Importance, he will
sell at rates challenging competition.

The Picnic.

The Pic-Nic.
If the weather should not be too unfavor-
able, the great St. Joseph's picnic will,
certainly, present one of its programmes to
the public to-day in practical performance.
In anticipation of success this time, prep
arations for transportation are made on a
much larger scale than heretofore. Last
Sunday, the weather was so bad that the
regular exercises of the day were post
poned; yet so great was the crowd that
two schooners were found insufficient to
accommodate visitors coming and going
Consequently, Mr.. McGuinn has increased
his feet to four vessels, so as to leave each
end of the route regularly every half hour,
commencing at one o'clock p. NJ, precisely.
After all, the bad weather which seemed
to be SO disastrous, may be the cause of a
greater eventual success than would have
been obtained on the days originally pro-
posed. The unsuccessful attempts made
on those two days were rehearsals for o
more perfect performance than could have
been had without some previous experience
and practice. Not only is the packet system
assumed far grander proportions. In the
preliminary skirmish of last Sunday, several
respectable gentlemen, whom we could
name, were removed in an abrupt manner
from their dignified perpendicular; in fact,
to use technical Language, their pins were
knocked from under them. These gentle
men are, singularly enough, under the i'm
hat
can't be done again. Hence their ardor for
another chance.
The booths, too, of the ladies, are, if pos
sible, more scientifically managed than at
first. Even in the art of infusing soda
water and syrup, OF of getting up cham
payne punches, practice will render more
nimble the fairest of fingers.
There is but one item of the programme
which we fear will he damaged by expe-
renee, and that is the slow mule race. From
our own visual experience on the 4th inst,
10 man could reasonably hope to introduce
slower mule than the brown one that was
on that occasion. Many different
Jockeys tried their skill and prowess on
lin. One after another they would mount,
With compressed lips and corrugated brows,
Indicative of determination to get him
nto a run, or perish in the attempt. Whip
ing and squirting, scolding and encourag-
ng, clucking and whistling-everythin
allied to hurry him beyond a certain sub
,issive, melancholy 'lope," which he evil
emily supposed to be faster than a walk.
lfter careful scrutiny into the phenome
on, we concluded the secret of his superior
lowness to be, that he has learned to make
horter jumps and pause longer between
hem than any other known mule. Wen
isk our stamps on him.
We predict great success for the enter
rise this afternoon, if the clements are not
90 hostile. Especially do we predict that
very visitor will he well repaid for the
rouble of going. The absence of all row
lyism on the one hand, and of all exclu-
siveness and pretension on the other, the
harmony, the innocent hilarity, the home
like independence of every body, will rem
der the spirit of enjoyment SO contagious
that the most cynical could not escape 1t.

ST. PETERS PARocIIAL ScHooL.-The
indomitablc zeal of Reverend Cornelius
Moynihan succeeded, Il few months ago, i'll
inaugurating q parochial school on quite an
extensive scale in connection with his

zeal can do in the cause of education and
religion, even when money is very scarce,
will have an opportunity to do so by at
tending the examinations of this school on
Thursday and Friday.

DECLARATION OF THE ARCHBIsHOPs OF
THE UNITED SrArEs.-We publish in an
other column the announcement of four
Archbishops of the United States on the sub
iect of the formation of battalion for the
Pontifical army. OF the seven Archbishops
Of the United States, four have signed this
document A fifth, our own Most Rev.
Archbishop 0din, unable to be present at the
North, has given his adhesion to the docu
ment. The two other Archbishops, those of
San Francisco and Oregon City, unable to be
consulted on account of the distance, will,
without any doubt, coincide with their Most
Reverend colleagues.
This decision Of the most Reverend Pre-
lates is sufficiently cogent. There are OBJ
stacles in the way of the formation of a bat
TALON for the Pontitical army almost insur-
mountable at present, and hence, they dis
approve of all action having that end in
view. This is not to be understood as dis
approving of individual effort to augment
the Pontiiical army. The venerable prelates
remark that pecuniary aid above all is what
will most ctfcctually prove useful to the
Holy See. 1t was this thought which deter
mined Us to open some months ago, and
which we still continue, subscription list
for the Pontitical army.

Managers had taken no pains to conceal
their party spirit and party hate, which had
hurried through preparations for this pro-
ceeding. He read some declarations on the
subject made by the Managers in the pres
ent trial. He called attention to the words
of one Of the Managers. who spoke Of Sen
.tors as headsmen standing on = gallows
with their swords ready. they having tried
the culprit on the night of February 81,
assertions which he characterized as insult
ing to the Court and cruel and unwarranta-
BILE. He then read from the debates on the
formation of the Constitution to show that
the power to impeach and the trial of the
President was granted with hesitation to 1.-THE
Senate, and only because of the reliance
placed on their observance of judicial
oath. Evarts then dwelt on the tremendous
power and meaning OF those little words
truth, oath, justice and dutv-and appealed
to Senators to brace themselves by all their
integrity, truly and justly to observe their
oa,hs, and perform their solemn duty.

and to make it at once debasing, con
temptibls and brutal. While the yonne
men of the North could, with perfec'
Justice to themselves and their future,
engage in field labor, the Democratic
institution of slavery inhibited them
from like employment at the South by
the degradation which it fastened upon
all labor which might be divided with
the slaves. Yet we make this allusion
in no party spirit, not at all ; but on
the contrary, to illustrate a possible
argument that may be employed as a
pratest against encouraging such a
system Of labor as might carry with it
a slur upon the responsibility of the
laboriug mans position in Nevada. But
this argument, if argument it may
be STYLED, answers itself. The readiness
of those who complain of an invasion
Of their province by the employment of
Chinese laborers, to contest the labor
field with them proves that the degrad-
ing influences of slavery have not yet
attached themselves to Chinese labor.
If they did, the moment that Cinnamon
took the ak up, every white man would
drop it.
1t would be source Of annoyance
and chagrin to as, if somebody, with
more hardihood than Judgment, more
money than brains and more pluck than
discretion should set up an opposition
paper to the APPEAL, and by reduction
of prices of subscri ption and advert
sing, should bring about further
financial crisis in our poor affairs. But
aight-.j jacket, We should not think of
questioning his right to do so. And
while we may deplore the existence of
such circumstances as would put
Chinese laborers into our mines and
timber districts, we cannot ind It IN our
heart to question the righ, Of Cinnamon

Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1868-07-01

A Knoxville (Tenn.) correspondent of the Gin
einnau Gazette Gays the house of Colonel Arm

OF the siege Of Knoxville It was occupied BY rebel
sharpshooters, and only escaped being battered
down because Burnside had but few cannon balls or
shells Nevertheless, one of the latter. a twenty
FOUNDER, crashed through the walls, and several
smaller ones marked it in different places The
side next Fort Sanders is dented and fecked, and
spotted with hundreds Of bullet msrks Several
musket balls may be partially embedded IN the
window slls and frames. In the parlor stands
large piano, exactly where it stood during the fight
Two balls came through the windows aud lodged 10
the wood of the instrument, where they are yet Wis
ible The toEas of the piano ara still as beautiful
as though the casing did not contain those grim evil
dences Of day when no music was heard save that
awful kind which accompanies, upon the field Of
battle the messengers Of death. In the tower there
is more frightful trace Of the fray.
The tower is perhaps six feet square, with three
long and very narrow windows. Among the enc
ny's sharpshooters, when they held the house, was
young South Carolinian who, with several others,
occupied the tower. Psepng from one of the win
dows bullet which must have come three-q uarters
of a mile, crashed into his brain, and passed entire
ly through his head. The blood poured out in two
ssnguinsry streams as his comrades dragged him
below; and from the spot where he fell TO the very
bottom Of the stairs, the two streams now running
parallel, now monentarily coinciding, and, anon,
crossing each other, are still distinctly visible. The
round hole in the glass through which tie bullet
penetrated is also seen. With great good taste Col
Armstrong has preserved, SO far sc possible, the
traces Of the conflict about his house. It is true
several vigorous efforts have been made to wash
away the blood, but it had been too thoroughly
soaked into the wood before Colonel Armstrong;
