ANDYAsA A THORN. -Writhe and suuirm
as they may, the radicals cannot shake
off the awful conviction that ANDY is
coming back to Washington to punish
them. The dreadful monster, whom
they had fondly hoped had been slain
and buried out of sight. is to appear be-
fore them again, with flaming ewes and
gnashing teeth. No man in the broad
land do they hate as they do Andrew
johnson; and if they could have fore
seen the Dem ocratic coup II etat in Ten
nessee, thoy would have stopped Mt no
forcible means to have prevented fair
election. Cn any trumped-up pretext
the State could have been overrun with
bayonets, Senter would have been de-
posed, and negroes alone would have
been admitted to the registry But
Boutwell,, Butler, Logan, and the gang
of "bitter-enders, who run the govern
ment. failed to look far enough ahead
this time. So the detested Andy is com
ing back again to mortify them with his
triumphant ostentation, to hound them
to rage with taunts. to harass them by
exposures of their secret rascalities, to
bore them almost to death with his in
terminable speeches., to be very thorn
in their sides. and tear their quivering
flesh day by day. What a prospect for
the sinners!-NeU York Ne,cs.

A CoTToN FACTORY IN NASHVILLE. =
The Nashville (Tennessee) Banner says:
''The establishment of mammoth
cotton manufactury which has, during
the past three months, been agitating
the minds of the capitalists of our city,
dollar of the $780, 900 stock required
has been subscribed. The stockholders
represent some of the strongest moneyed
and energetic business men of Nashville.
The manufactory will be located on
eighteen acres of ground, including the
McGavock Spring, donated by the North
Ashville Land Company. It is little
singular that upon the very spot where,
IN l777, the pioneers first pitched their
tents. built their stockades to resist the
constant invasions of the Indians, clear
ed their first land and raised their first
crops, 80 gigantic and industrial con.
Germ as projected should be erected"

OBITUARY.

Died, on the Goth of July. 1863, MAUD
GlBBES, daughter Of David B. and Elmanda
L. Clayton, aged one year.
In this sad bereavement the brightest hopes
Of fond and devoted parents have been crush.
ed; the fond anticipations Of the future dis
PEELED by the dark. lowering, sombre cloud Of
death; the glowing prospects indulged in have
been bee diisspated by the gloomy night Of sorrow
grave OF darkness and gloom-enshrouds all
that was bright, beautiful and lovely.
=. Interest must ever bo awakened by the spor-
tive Kambols and sPrightly ways OF childhood;
infancy, excited admiration by her marked in.
telligence and vivacity. But that All wise BE.
ing who, in inscrutable wisdom and o'ertiow-
ing ing mercy sees fit to afllct, has called her to
angels, who delight in singing halleluIahs to
the King Of Hosts.
Resignation to Gods holy will, and feeling
that tho separation is but temporary one,
consoles the bereaved parents OF her who has
gone before, to be, perhaps, a watch and di-
rector DER their motives and Actions.
Innocent and guileless, sho has left this
DARK, transitory and feeting world, to inhabit
a;sp[ sphere better suited to her pure spirit, to
around the throne of q kind and indulgent
Father. Removed from scenes Of trial and
woe, and transferred to q clime more conpe =.
mai to her pure and unsullied spirit, She
will glorify her merciful and beneficent Hea
venly Father, and await reunion with those
o VINO loved her so fondly and dearly during her
brief sojourn on earth.
inc earthly fathers love prompts this feeble
tribute to the memory of his baby:
One short and happy year
She smiled OH Us below;
We hoped to keep her here
Till we were called to go;
Bnt God takes back the blessings lent,
Though we our weaker claims present.
Our selfish hearts had bound her
To hold her back from bliss;
Now glory beams around her
In brighter worlds than this
Farewell, till guardian angels come,
10 bear US to her happy home.
