NUMBER ga.
Character Of southern Lurnl,r.

That internal. hell -blistered villain. VIM.
g. Brownlow. made his appearance in East
Tennessee upon the adjournment of the Ex.
esutive session of the United States Senate.
OF which hs and several other notorious
scoundrels are leading members The con.
sequence was that 4 new reign Of persecu-
ton, despotism, outrage and bloodshed, was
at once instituted. A telegram from Nash
vllle asserts that some of tho members Of
the Southern Methodist church have lately
been assaulted aud tortured by Brownlow's
loyal ku klux, for the oifense of preaching
thriat and him eraci6ed after being ordered
to desist At q place about six miles from
the city Of Nashville, in Middle Tennessee.
on the 9Th Of April, at night time, the Rev
Jacob Smith, quiet aud unassumiue minis
ter OF the gospel was assaulted BY an armed
mob of Brownlowites He was taken from
the brothers house where be was stopping,
to the woods, and there stripped to the shirt,
aud tied to a tree 10 his nakedness with
strong cords, and numerically beaten. This
occurrence took place near the spot, where, q
short tune since, Rev. Mr. Neal, another
Southern Methodist preacher, was shamefully
beaten and maltreated. The persecution Of
the preaching christians by the loyalists in
Tennessee equals almost the persecution of
the early martyrs
This Is but one account of system of
outrages SO damuable in their character. that
we're the world not craEed, the influence of
Its christian sympatbies would be exerted to
their abolition by any and every means. But
as It Is m this country at present, so long as
the leaders can steal from the peoples trea-
sury and have tho means to feed their corrupt
partizans, we're the blood hounds of the world
set upon the helpless women and babes of
the South. no hand would be reached to stay
the slaughter, so long as the system Of op.
presto" Of the South pays a dividend in
the North
But the character of Southern "loyalty,"
so called, can best be ascertained by referring
to the details of the deeds committed in its
name. The barbarism Of the dark deys, Of
the psgans of Central India, or of the canni.
balls of tic South Sea Islands, is not more
revolving than the major number of the deeds
OF blood and rapine which characterize the
triumph and rule Of what is known as "loy.
atty 10 the tramplcd South.
When it is considered that the white vile
lsins, who are the rulers and dispense q sort
of crude '.iustice" based upon the unYritten
character OF the negroes-those mostly who
were uuruly, brutal, and unciVilized in slavery
times-Wc see upon what slender thread the
life and property of Southern christian
hangs And yet to keep this power up in
the South, Congress has done everything in
its reach, the army and navy is at its back.
and the North npplauds, and cries Amen!
But a coward by nature, a villain at heart,
and devil by education only will applaud
such dOings AS ye sow, ye shall reap; and
we say to the hypOcrirical and pharisaical
North that the harvest of sorrows which they
will some day reap in reward for the seed
they have soVn, will till every homo with a
ghost and every heart with SORROWS and
meanings WdtchmGn.

A REAL UERo.-Two weeks ago on board
an English steamer little ragged boy, aged
nine years, was discovered on the fourth day
Of the outward voyage from Liverpool to
New York, aud carried before the first mate,
whose duty it is to deal with such cases.
When questioned as to the object Of his be
ing slowed away, and who brought him on
board, the boy, who had a beautiful sunny
face aud eyes that locked like the very mir
rors Of ruth. replied that his stepfather did
it, because he could not afford to keep him,
nor to pay his passage out to Halifax, where
he lad AN aunt that was well of, and to
whose house he was going. The mate did
not believe the story, in spite of the winning
face aud truthful accents Of the boy. He

firm cunvictinn that tho boy had hoon hrnu eht

same result. lie did not know sailor on
board aud his father alone had secreted him
aud given him the food which he ate.
At last the mate, wearried by the boys

little anxious to inculplte the sailors, seized
him one day by the c-llar aud dragging him
to the fore, told him that unless he confessed
the truth in ten minutes from that time he
would hang him on the yard arm. lie then
made him sit down under it on the deck. AL

eyes bright through the tears that sutfused
them. When eight minutes had He'd, the
mate told him he had but two minutes to live
aud advised him to speak the truth and save
his life but he replied, with the utmost
simplicity and sincerity, by asking the mate

The mate said nothing, but nodded hi:

THE MUSICAL FIsH.-'One day as was
returning to Talluhasse, from hunting ex'
cursion, in Florida says recent traveller,
we were rowing along by the shore, about
sunset, when suddenly a strange, grave, aud
prolonged sound struck my ear. At first l
thought it must be drone, or fly of extraor
dinary magnitude but seeing nothing L
questioned my guide as to what itcould be.
'Oh, masss,' he replied, dat is de f,h what
sings. Some call it siren, or mermaid hsh,
and others musico' A little way on We
heard a greater chorus of these strange
voices, reminding me family of the music OF
church organs. stopped the canoe, the
better to study this strange phenomenon
when, at my request, NV sable oarsman
threw a net into the water, and soon laid at
the bottom of the boat about score of little
fishes, each about ten inches long, resem.

YOU can never get out again. l tried to
laugh my black friend out of his notion, but
in vain. 10 spite Of what he said, however,

found, as 1 expected, that | was none the
worse for the experiment. The musician hsh
is white, with few blue spots near the belly
IL is about sunset when these fish begin to
sing, aud they continue their music during

droning of an organ, just as it reaches youI
