tains Of deb. we can never get over
the destruction of business and scat
tering of society; the murders, rob-
berries, and thousands of untold crimes
that are daily and nightly committed,
as the results of the teachings of Alb
raham Lincoln and his pimps, do you
blame us for denouncing him as
fend, fit only to reign with his Satan
ic co-laborer in hell? reu.a a
Do you blame US when we say that
God was just in sending John Wilkes
Booth on that dark Good Friday night
three years ago, the darkest and
gloomiest in American history, to
strike the traitor down, and iberate
the white freemen of America from
the yoke Of despot?
God is just.
He struck the tyrapt Lincoln from
existence at an hour when the count
~ could no longer bear the burden
OF him, and God in His wisdom, can
not let the tree people OF America,
whom He has SO protected and pros
pered, long remain chatting under the
rule of any despot. a @
This history of the past has many
warnings for the future. .
Treason treason y we hear you
cry, but if such things be treason, we
confess it, and beseech you to make
good use of it. #A
This day-April ffteenth-is the
anniversary of the emancipation of
the white men of America from the
CALLING chains Of Jacobin tyranny, and,
as such, will not long hence be cele-
brated. On each recurrence of this
day it will be the glorious privilege
of the liberated freemen of America
to lift their voices, and with one ac-
cord thank God there is no Abraham
Lincoln president now LA Crosse
Democrat.

"WHo MADE ALL THAT PIT is
related that when Napoleon Bona
parte was returning to France from
the expedition to Egypt, a group of
French officers one evening entered in-
to discussion concerning the exist
ence of God. They were on the deck
Of a vessel that bore them over the
Mediterranean Sea. Thoroughly i'm

tic spirit of the times, they were unan-
imous in the denial of this truth 1t
was at length proposed to ask the
opinion of Napoleon on the subject,
who was standing alone wrapt in
thought. On hearing the question
'I8 there a God ?" He raised bis head
and pointing to the starry armament,
simply responded: "Gentlemen, who

Wine Drinking in Spain.

You may buy as good a bottle of
wine for thirty cents in Spain as you
would have to pay three or four dol
lars for in New York. And if YOU
will not give thirty cents for it, you
can have as much as you want for lit
tie or nothing. Until the railroads
were built and transportation made
easy and cheap, it was common, when
the new vintage came in, to empty the
casks that held what was left over of
former years. And a church was
pointed out to me that was built of
mortar made of wine instead of water
there being a scarcity Of water in the
vicinity but plenty OF wine that was
to be thrown away. Sherry wine,
which is the sack of Shakespeare and
Ben Johnson is the leading wine OF
Spain, and is made now and here just
as wine was made iii the times of Heis-
Cd and Isaiah; for in such climes as
this the people keep on doing things
as their ancestors or others did in the
same place thousands OF years ago
They drink wine as freely as the Eng
lish drink beer, and as the Americans
drink rum aud water But they do
not get drunk as our people do, and
they are not so stupid as the beer
drinkers of England are. They are
stupid of course, and the exhiliration
is carried to excess sometimes. 1t is
not true to say there is no drunken
ness iG wine growing countries, but
the best informed men, who had the
most abundant opportunities of learn
ing the facts in the case, assurd me
| that intemperance is not common
that it is very rare among the work
ing people oi Spain. This is not to be
used as all argument in favor OF wine
raising and wine drinking in America
1t would be better indeed for the
health OF drinking men to drink pure
wine than bad whiskey, or the vile
compounds that are sold IN our count
ry. But if wine were as cheap in the
United States as in Spain, there woulo
be just as much intemperance In the
United States as now. The climate
and the strife of such country as
ours furnish cause for the use of stim
ulating drinks that do not exist In 1t
ally or Spain; and philanthropistS
who discuss and legislate on the sub
ject of intemperanee without regare
to the physical circumstances of a peo
pie, are in the same case with the
traveller who reckoned his bill with
out his host. 1t is well to multiply
and fortify wholesome laws to RESTRAIN
men from evil indulgence, and it il
our duty to ply all possible mora
agency to reform and save our fellow
men, but our duty does not end will
legislating and preaching. There arr
social burdens to be raised from tht
poor by the voluntary action of th'
rich, and by the application of TIL
gospel principle of brotherhood, ,whicl
will so ameliorate the condition of th
: lowly that they will not be tempted a
} now by the pressure OF weariness,car
? and woe, to fly to the intoxicating Gu
! for help to bear their load, or to fol
r get that it is On them. But this d
| gression is getting dry, if it is o
drinking.-Letter from DR.. Prime.

NOTHING BUT AN TNSECT.-A French
naturalist spert several years in ex-
amining the structure of single in
sect, and left the work unfinished. In
the body of an insect about an inch
in length, another naturalist enumer-
ated 306 plates composing the struct-
ure of the outer envelope; 494 mus
cles for putting them in motion; %
pairs of nerves, and As pairs of
breathing organs. The number of
lenses in the eye of common fly is
six or seven thousand of the dragon
fly, twelve thousand of the butterfly,
seventeen thousand. On a single
wing of a butterfly have been found
100000 scales. The house fy's wing
has power of 600 strokes in a sec
ond, which can propel it 35 feet, while
the speed of a race horse is but so
feet a second. So thin are the wings
of many insects, that $4,000 placed
over each other would only be a
quarter of an inch thick, and yet, thin
as they are, each is double.

A Yankee having told an English
man that he shot on one occasion nine
hundred and ninety-nine snipe, his in
terlocutor asked MIN why he didn't
make it a thousand at once.
"No," said he, mot likely I'm ago
ing to tell lie for one snipe."
Whereupon the Englishman rather
"riIed" and determined not to be out
done, began to tell long story of a
man having swan from Liverpool to
Boston.
"Did you see him?" asked the
Yankee.
"Why, of course l did; l was com

a mile out of Boston harbor."

Gone Away.
BY MARY CLEMMER AMEs.

Gone away
Slow he perished, day by day;
Slow, with cruel touch, decay t
Wore that precious life away.
How we loved him, how we wept,
While the death-film dark ming crept
Der those dear eyes, till they slept.
Gone away! ....
Low we bowed upon his clay,
Kissed his forehead, tried to say,
Wherefore wentest thou away,
Leaving us amid the night,
Lonely rising toward the light,
Lonely seeking for the right"
Gone away
Then low voice seemed to say
"Call me never if you may;
Happier I than you who stay.
Never to be LETT to moan,
Toiing with lifS,s {Wf9 W9rk rAk,%g9E aI9ns 81, uor
Gone away!
Woe the present could not hide
In the future we deserted;
"This is spared thee, love-" we cried;
sit is we'll that thou hast died.
No, we will rot call the back,
To see thy SOULS fine tension slack,
Strained upon life's cruel rack.
Gone away
How we need thy fond eyes ray
To light again our clouded way,
Only God can tell to-day.
Weeping so above your clay,
This, and only this, we say:
Happier thou than we who stay.

The Weight Of a Tear.

A pair of scales before him
A rich man sat and weighed
A piece of gold-a widows all,
And unto her he said:
"Your coin is not the proper weight,
SO take it back again,
Or sell it me for half its worth
1t lacks single grain"
With fearful eye the widow said:
go, weigh it, sir, once more;
l pray you be not so exact,
Nor drive me from your door"
"Why, see yourself, its under weight;
Your tears are no avail"
The second time he tries it,
1t just bears down the scale.
Bat little guessed that rich man,
Who held his gold so dear,
That the extra weight that bore it down
Had been the widows tear.

THE BROWNLOW-STOKE CORES
PONDENCE

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Journal furnished that paper
a series Of dispatches which he said had
"passed over the wires between Parson
Brownlow and Gen. Stokes" relative to
the vote Of Senator Fowler onthe articles
of impeachment These dispatches were
printed in the Louisville Journal Of the
30th and in the Nashville papers Of the
Both ult, and certainly must have fallen
under the Governors observation by the
morning Of the ID inst, and in ample
time to have received attention in his
paper of the 3D. To the surprise of a
great many, not even a reference was
made to this correspondence On the 10th
inst the Governor republishes these disc
patches and says 1.-THE Geographic oper"
ator in Knoxville will testify that not one
of the above dispatches was ever sent
of or received" Marked the phraseOl-
ogy. 1t is simply denied that these
particular dispatches were sent off or rec
ceiVed, but not that dispatches touching
the vote of Senator Fowler had passed
between him and Stokes. And this is
done after taking week to consider the
matter One of the dispatches purporb-
ing to come from Governor BrownlOw,
compromised Judge of the Supreme
Court of this State, yet the Governor was
in no hurry to relieve him of the odium
which such an attempt at buying a Sena-
tor cast upon him. The Washington
correspondent of the Louisville Journal
says under date of the 10Th instant:
"BroWnlow denies his Geographic cor
with Stokes. He does 80
because he knows that his dispatches fell
into the hands of Ben. Butler, who took
care 10 destroy them"
1t must be confessed that the Governs
Ors denial is exceedingly awkward 1t
is not the full and explicit denial that the
public had a right to expect if no corress
pondence Of the character described had
passed between Brownlow and Stokes.

REVERDY JOHNSON.

The appointment of this eminent states
man and jurist as Minister to England,
and his prompt confirmation by the Sens
ate without the customary reference to
the Committee on Foreign Relations, is
but a just tribute to his high character
and distinguished services In the act
the President has honored his adminis-
trationi and the Senate has shown that It
rs not wholly abandoned to partyism.
The nation whose representative he is
become, and the one to whom he is ao-
credited, may alike be congratulated, that
one of such rare capacity, varied and
profound knowledge Of the science of
law in al its branches and pure
and exalted fame, should be
called to iIl 50 responsible a post. Mr..
Johnson is in the 72d year of his age,
twenty-five years of which have been in
in the public service. He entered the
Senate in lS45, and with the exception of
brief intervals of q year or two, during
one Of which be was the Attorney Gem
eral Of Gen Taylor's Cabinet, he has
represented his native State, Maryland,
in that body His rank there, even when
it contained giants instead of pigmies,
was among the first; and though now
past the Psalmists three score and ten,
his faculties are vigorous and his diploS
matte service, whatever exigency may
arise, win, doubtless, enhance his rcpu-
tatinn

ADDITIONAL DELEGATES TO NEW
YORK---AN OMISSION by THE
cONVFNTTON

To the Editors Of the Union and Dispatch.
SHELBYvuLE, TENN, June ~, 1865 It
appears to be conceded that Tennessee is en-
titled to an extra member in Congress to
represent the State at large.
If this be true, did not our convention of
the 9th inst. fail to appoint delegates
enough 10 the National Convention at New
York 1t appears 80 to me. If we are
entitled to two delegates for each Congress
man, sm sure that we should appoint two
more. But it may be asked, now that our
convention has adjourned, who il to make
the appointment l answer this by saying
let the State Central Committee make the
selection. / apprehend that under the cir
cumstances said committee would have full
power in the premises.
/ therefore suggest that the committee
al once take the matter under considera-
ton chat thus the appointment be made at
once. And further suggest that Gen.
inc. G. Brown Of Giles, be one Of the APP
pointees. In his hands the interests Of our
people will be entirely safe. His selection
would give entire satisfaction TO every shade
of opinion among those who are deter
mined TO do every thing in their power
to overthrow radicalism, while his own zeal
In the cause would render him a most
useful member Of the convention. As to
the other delegate 10 be selected / have no
suggestion TO make, except 10 say, that he
should be chosen from the ranks of our
GqmaR frieRds. ! pray you TO publish
this suggestion. ~
