Insult to SnlGiel,s

VIM. a. Wallace has written letter
insulting the Boys in Blue, insinuatins
that the meeting in Philadelphia is only
to colonize soldiers there, for the purpose
of casting fraudulent votes. This Wal
lace was cheered by Copperheads in
Wilkes Barre at the County Convention.
He is Chairman of their State Committee,
aud used the cofee-clored fraudulent ma
turalization papers made in Luzcrne, With
the seal of the court stolen from PhiIbiu
and left Philbin to bear the blame. He,
is pretty fellow to talk to loyal men
about frauds. He paid to get witness
out of the way of the courts, and another
witness was murdered by his friends OF
his way from court
If the people had not determined to
leave the party, Wallace would not have,
been continued another year on the State.
Committee position, by the way, it is
notorious he is using for no other par
pose than, in case the Democrats carry
the Legislature, to beat Buckalew aud
elect himself U. S. Senator.

DIX.

st. Louis Republican tries to break the
force of General Dix's letter by saying
that General Dix has not acted with the
Democratic party proper since the war
began in 1861" That is perfectly true
From the moment the war began, Gen.
eral Dix has been on the side of his eoun-
try and of course he could not act with
the Democratic party. That party was
either actively aiding the rebellion in the
field, or giving it aid and comfort by its
political action at the North. 1t was op-
posing the Government-deuouuciug the
war as unjust and unconstitutional-re-
sisting the draft-assailing the public
credit, AMI in every conceivable way Grip
ping its eudeavors to suppress the rebel
lion. AS matter of course, General
Dix did not act with it,

Tax Payers bear in mind that the in
creased expenditure in the Land Office
for extra temporary clerks, about which
the Democratic papers howl, was recon.
mendcd by General Barr, Democratic
Surveyor General, and that under Gener-
al Campbell's energetic administration
the work for which they were authorized
has been nearly accomplished, and that
the Department will yield very large
revenue to the State for years to come
And the expense of administering it after
this year will be less because the extra
ordinary work will have been done by
General Campbell
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1868-10-08

The Opposition papers, knowing Gen.
Campbell's strength and that he has been
the most efficient Surveyor General the
State has had, for years, have undertaken
to break him down in the confidence oi
the people by the basest kind of misrep
resentation. We, therefore, ask that this
kind of electioneering be hurled back BY
the reelection of this tried public servant
by an increased majority.

The Mobile Register exhorts its dis
ciples to deal-with the Republicans after
this fashion "They arc dogs and should
be treated as dogs, dogs only tolerated
now because the power of the sword is in
the hands of our enemies in Congress, but
will not be tolerated one hour after the
people recover the liberty to do justice
upon their oppressors. 1t is the duty of
every Southern man to cut these vermin.

We met Gov. Curtin in town on Sat-
urday. He was just from the backwoods
of York county, Pa, where he saw pro-
cesson of Grant voters some three miles
in length. He says the Keystone State
will give such majority for the Repub-
licaus in October as will crush the hope
out of all opposition to Grant in Novem-
ber, who, he predicts, will then carry the
State by not less than $4,000. He does,
not regard the canvass as the work of poll
ticans, but of the people, who are deter-
mined to have Grant and peace Sua.

The Sabbath of Nature.
BY A. D. BURRELL.

Now o'er the mountain pile of green
Which Spring and Summer wrought between
The tinted tree-tops, here and there,
Presage that change, which, everywhere,
Ger mountain, valley, hill and plain,
Will soon o'ersprcad the scene again.
The green retires as suns return,
The nights that chill, the days that burn,
Whilst varying colors still unfold,
The yellow, purple and the gold,
The scarlet, crimson, orange, red,
Succeeding as the green has fled,
Till rain-bow-tinted, glowing bright,
The mountain stands, in heavens light,
A thing of beauty and of JOY,
Where death is working to destroy:
How like the christians closing day,
Efulgent with heavenly ray.
The magic picture, brightens still
Ger mountain, plain, and mead, and hill
Until the highest, fullest touch
OF grand magnifcence is such
That nature pauses, winds arc still,
The river noiseless and the rill,
The birds sit motlonless, nor dare
To part, with wing, the enchanted air:
No cricket's chirp no buzz of bees,
No trembling leaf among the trees,
Till nature stands in silence sweet
Her yearly praises to repeat
With softened voice that warns and thrills
Whilst Gratitude her part fulfills.
Their Indian Summer smoke-veiled noon,
The mellow air, the harvest moon,
The Sabbath of our changing year,
The quiet time when death is near =
Where is the heart not touched by these;
The mind that here no beauty sees?
Who will not, then, with me rejoice
While list'ning to that winning voice
Which speaks, with tenderest, kindest lays,
To bless us on these "softened days?',

THE NEW CHURCH

Laying of The COrAer Stone Of the
North Nashville Methodist EpiscO-
nal Church, SOuth-BeautifuI and
Imposing Ceremonies
The following report was accidentally
crowded from our issue of yesterday morn
ing
Yesterday afternoon the corner stone Of
the new North Nashville Methodist
Church, South, on High street, was laid,
and the attending ceremonies were highly
interesting, as well as beautiful and i'm
posing, and were witnessed by about five
hundred persons. The ceremony of laying
the stone was conducted by the officers Of
the Phoenix Lodge of Masons, which was
present with the Germania Lodge. The
Masons formed at their hall on Church
street in preparing for the march to the
church, then moved down to Cherry street,
and thence to Jefferson, up which they
marched to High street. On arriving at
the church, they filed through a magni6-
cent triumphal arch Of flowers, and made
ready for the ceremonies. The music Of
the occasion was furnished by the Odd
Fellows band.
A curious variety of articles were de-
posted in the corner stone. Some very
ancient silver coins, two envelopes contain
ing relics of the South, a copy of the New
Testament, a copy of the Nashville Chris
tian Advocate, copy of the Sunday School
Visitor a catalogue of the Methodist Pub.
fishing House, a copy of each of three of
the Nashville daily papers, a copy of the
proceedings Of the Grand Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons, and fine parch-
ment scroll bearing the names of the Ma
sons present, with the name Of the Pastor,
DIR. Sawrie, and the date of the laying of
the stone in both the Christian and Ma
sonic year, comprised the list
After this, came the ceremony of the
pouring ont of corn, oil and wine, from
silver goblets, which was followed by the
orations, delivered by DIR. McFerrin and
DIR. Summers. The OratiOns were re-
sponded to by a liberal contribution on the
part of those present, toward the building
Of the church.
The clergymen present were Bishop Nc
| Tyeire, DR.. Summers, DIR. MCFerrin, Rev.
Jno. F. Hughes, DIR. Sawrie, DIR. Young,
and Rev. w. T. Helms, Rector of Trinity
| Church.
The new church building is 70 be fine
brick structure, S0x37, and will supply
a want long felt in North Nashville. Rev.
DIR. w. d. F. Sawrie is to be pastor, and
the church organization now numbers
from three hundred to FIVE hundred per
Sons, two hundred and twenty-five ofwhom
have been added within the past eighteen
months The prospects of this church are
highly hattering, and we trust it may soon
be prepared to exercise more etiectually
the great and good influence it possesses.

THE Great RAILROAD CASE.

a Partial Decision by JrnIge Trigg.
In the Federal Court yesterday, a par
tial decision was rendered by Judge Trigg
. in the Nashville and Northwestern rail-
! road Injunction case. He held,
First, That the acceptance Of the eondi-
tions OF the act of the 9TH of December,
giving the aid 10 the Nashville and North
western railroad by the Board of Directors,
was probably not binding upon the stock
holders, but as il was averred in the bill
that this aid had been accepted he would
take it as true.
( Second, Admitting the power of the
Governor TO appoint Directors, and that
! the appointment of the last fifteen Stale
! Directors was fully authorized, and that
the Governor had power to remove the
| first set of Directors that the action OF the
| new set of Directors, in connection with
one of the stockholders and directors, by
which they undertook TO GUST the officers
| of the Board, was a nullity; that the pro-
vision in the law of the 25th of February,
authorizing the election of new officers
at any time, was as proposed
fundamental change in the charter,
which could not be made except by the
consent of the company; and therefore all
the proceedings of this reorganization,
without the consent of the company, were
void and of no force.
Third, That the Receiver was a Receiver
under the law, and amenable to the courts J;
that he was as much the agent of the COM
pany as Of the State, and that any party
interested might make him account in the
courts for violation of law, and that the
bonds authorized to be issued by the act OF
the 9TH of December were to be issued to
the company.
But the Judge said that there we're two
questions which he was not satisfied about,
and upon these he desired further argu-
ment:
First, If the State and the stockholders
were equally interested in the acts of the
Receiver, was not the State a necessary
party and if 80, did this court have juris-
tion
Second, If the charter was adopted by
the Legislatures of both States-Tennessee
and Kentucky-was not the company citi-
zen of Kentucky, and did not this Gust the
court of jurisdiction.
These questions are to be recognized.
The Judge said this was most unfortu-
nate controversy, and he announced his
views now as far as he had come to a con-
clusion, hoping the parties would settle the
questions among themselves, without fur
Their action by the court, as the conflict
might be ruinous to the interests of the
company.
