reference to "leap year." ELECTS the following
reply; should you deem it worthy Of your
coumns
At meeting of young men, recently held
for the purpose of considering the sugges-
tions of Miss -, the resolutions to follow
were unanimously adopted. The meeting
was the largest and most enthusiastic ever
C7ronicled in this vicinity. Many eloquent
addresses were delivered, and matrimony,
being the chief subject, was freely discussed.
The Importance of early marriages and if
necessary, marrying frequently, was urged
in words Of burning eoquence. All favored
"woman's rights, AMI agreed to see that
they received them. Thought it was their
time to propose and the gen,lemens to
dispose. Here are the resolutions:
RESOLVED, That we are aware of the MANY

important one to them) of all leap year.
RssolOed, That we do, most sincerely, re

ResOlued, That we shall consider it a breach
OF etiquette and an infringement upon the
nights OF the ladies, for any gentleman, du.

Of the above resolutions.
fesoHed, That We are, to all intents and
purposes, dead IN earnest, and Intend being
guided by what is herein set FORTH and shall

a high state OF perfume, and "done up in
ribbons, desiring "the exquisite felicity OF

John Chandler was unanimously chosen to
the chair and Fred. Bruce appointed Secre-

On motion of Eli Glass the chair appointed
a committee of five to draft and report reso-

ing. Upon the retirement of which, re-
marks were made by Bill Webb to the effect
that the pending election was one of much
Importance to white and colored men alike.
He should vote the Conservative ticket be-
cause he saw thereon the names of men
whom be knew to be honest, and having the
public welfare at heart. On the other hand
among the Radicals he could only discover
those who have already empted the public

not have better sense than vote for such man

man to vote at the coming election, and
vote the ticket Of Conservatism.
Webb was followed by Albert Thomas and
Bob Wardlow, who also gave excellent adj

Upon returning, the Committee on Reso-

adopted:
We, the Committee appointed to report a

THE SUPREME BENCH.
Resignation OF Judge ShaCkelfOrd-
His Probable SucCessOr-Ru Orcd
Retirement OF Judge Hawkins.

Judge Shackeford, of the Supreme Court,
yesterday sent his resignation TO the Secre-
mry of State, to take effect on Thursday
next. The reasons assigned for this course
are entirely of o private nature. In his
communication to Governor Brownlow, 1t is
stated by Judge Shackelford that the accu-
mutation of business on the dockets of the
Court has compelled him to be absent from
home ten months in the year, thus prevent
ing him from dscharging his duties towards
his young children, who have been lett with
out parents protecting care. His private
affairs have been almost entirely neglected,
SO absorbed has he been in the matters
brought before the Court. He trusts that in
the disorganized state of society growing out
of the late unhappy war, he has endeavored
to hold the scales of justice with an even
hand. To the bar of the State he tenders
his acknowledgements for their uniform kind
ness and the support which they have ever
given the Court, describing the i'll feeling
engendered by civil strife, and nobly rising
above all partisan prejudice. Through their
efforts, coupled with the efforts OF himself
and colleagues, something has really been
done to restore confidence to the public mind.
In behalf of his brother Judges and his sue
cessor, he bespeaks from the bar a continue
ance of the support heretofore extended
He regrets that his relations with those with
whom he has SO long sat upon the bench are
to be dissolved, and engages to cherish the
recolleciions of the past two years and half
as the most pleasant Of his life.
1t is very generally intimated in well in
formed circles, that Judge II. II. Harrison
will be Judge Shackelfords successor.
We also hear it limited that Judge Haw-
kins will assist to hold one more term of his
Court and then resign also but as no author
lied reasons are given, the matter does not
appear to have reached shape definite
enough to justify a more positive statement
ON our part.--Nashptlke Banner, 23d

The two men who deliberately
murdered worthy young man in
Ashland, during the last year, have
been sentenced to the Penitetiary for
murder in the second degree. One of
the murderers, whose name is Harris,
was a candidate before the loyal
league, for jailor of this county. The
wretches took no appeal, from which
we infer that they have assurances
that the Governor will pardon them,
as he is reported to have promised to
do wherever the victim is a rebel.

Gen. Sherman, in his speech to the
Army Of the Cumberland, short
time since, claims to have Withdrawn
one hundred thousand men from q
siege line fifteen miles in length, and
formed them into three columns,
without the loss of man, and al! this
in front of an army of fifty thousand
men. This may be true; but if we
have not forgotten the history of that
particular period, the General makes
two grave mistakes First, Hood had
only about thirty thousand men, and
having commenced his march towards
Tennessee, this boastcd movement
could not have been ia front Of him.
The General further stated, and no
doubt truly, that on march of sew.
eral hundred miles, not a man was
court martialled, This was simply
in accordance with the federal usage,
that no soldier was to be punished
for robbery, arson, or any other crime
committed against southern men, wo.
men and children. Nor would it
have been just to punish privates for
crimes of which the officers were
guilty on larger and more protita-
BE scale. But, leaving all this out
Of view, patriots and gentlemen will
not seek to restore union and harmo-
ny by celebrations of victories over
chivslric fellow citizens, aad boastful
speeches about individual exploits in
n war Of brute force against right and
constitutional liberty,

The news from Washington indi.

Gates, but too plainly, that the war,
conceived in iniquity and prosecuted
in hypocricy, has eliminated in the
overthrow Of the government and the
liberties of the people. Such was
thointcntion from the beginning; Sec
sional aggression was designed to
force the South to secedc that Sc =.
cession was to be the pretext for the
war, and the preservation of the Uni
on and Constitution the false war cry
to delude fools and to excite fanatics
to the fighting point, and the premed-
itated result was tho destruction of the
Republic. The President was him
self, an active party to this treason
against the government-iSnorant,
we hope, of its full scope, bat none
che less active in paving the way to
the final consummation. When, at
last, he saw the imminent danger,
instead of decisive blow at the con.
spirators when he would have been
sustained, suffered himself to be cir
cumventcd by such slow degrees, that
the public mind has become Injured to
usurpation and Indifferent to its re-
suits. 1t is doubtful, to-day, whether
the people of the North would risk o
dollar in the effort to restore the gov
eminent to its original landmarks.
They have hattered themselves that
Congressional usurpation was direct
ed solely against the despised South,
and have looked on so long in com
placent quiet that the idea of resist.
ance is repugnant to their habit of
acquiescenee, and possibly to their
pecuniary interests.
War democrats, what think you,
now, Of your boosted achievement,
the conquest Of the South? Your
murdered victims, who died for the
cause of freedom, sleep peacefully,
beneath despot. trodden soil, honor
alike, for their cause and their hero
ic virtues, whilst you live enslaved,
and dishonored by submission to the
traitors who enticed to your own and
your country's ruin. The sod pres.
ses lightly upon the glorious martyrs
to liberty, whilst the hand of oppres-
sion weighs heavily upon the living
conspirators against liberty, and the
murdcrcrs Of its brave defenders.
1t may be too early to speculate
upon the future, but to our mind it
is clear that there will be 10 Presi-
dental election this year, and to de-
feat the popular vote and retain its
majority, Congress will declare itself
perpetual body. Such were the
steps which preceded the bloody rev.
olution in France. But the North
ern people are not French, and will,
by tame submission. prevent the flow
of bio d which characterized that
revolution. If they will behave
themselves as quiet subjects, puri,
tanism will be content to strip them
Of rights and property and leave them
at liberty to obey and starve.
