+ WARNrNa TO THE INTEMPERATE.--
Charles Lamb tells his sad experience, as a
warning to young men, in the following
language: "The waters have gone over me-
But out of the black depths, could / be
heard, would cry out to all those who
have set a foot in the perilous flood. Gould
the youth, to whom the flavor of the first
cup is delicious look into my desolation
and be made to understand what n dreary
thing it il to see his destruction and have
no power to stop II; TO see all goodness
emptied out of him, ond yet not able to for
get time when he was otherwise; could
he see my fevered eye, feverish with last
nights drinking, and feverishly looking
for to-night's repetition of the folly; could
he but feel the body of the death out of
which cry hourly with feebler cutlery to
be delivered, II were enough To make him
dash the sparkling beverage to the earth,
in all the pride of its mantling tempta-
ton"

Too MUCH MARRYING.-Ther is alto
gether too much marrying, by form of law,
those who are at the most only third or
a half married in other ways. And there
is altogether too much urging and coaXing,
and aliuring young people into the most
important and sacred of all human rela-
lions before they are prepared for its re-
sponsibilities, or moved to assume its bur-
dens, and by those who ought to know bet
ter and act with more consideration. We
make too much of marrying and being
married, until it is thought by many peo-
pie, somewhat of disgrace for u woman
to pass through life alone; when, in fact,
the life of many single woman Is poetry,
romance, rapture even, in comparison with
that of many wife. SO there is vast
deal of marrying with very little of real
marrying; IA vast deal of discomfort, heart
ache, misery, hypocrisy and unmarrying
at the last. What we want is not a more
stringent divorce law, but Il better under
standing of the moral law, which forbids
the marrying of those not already one not
less marrying, but les marrying where
there is no real marrying And above.all,
let there be no melting or bribing those to
marry who are not drawn to each other,
and held inseparably together by qualities
of mind and soul.-Aaonymous

e. A. POLLARD ON THE SOUTHERN Coll
'oRED POPULATION.-Av very striking COM
pliment to Senator Revels' statement of
the Southern colored population during the
war is furnished by Mr.. Edward a. Pol
lard, in an article in LippincOH's Magazine
for April. Mr.. Pollard was one OF the most
thorough of rebels but he says of the freed
man, that he shows "a capacity for educa-
ton that has astonished none more than
his former masters; that he has given
proofs of good citizenship which are con-
stantly increasing; that his development
since emancipation is n standing surprise
to candid Observers among the Southern
whites, themselves; that his condition
since then has been on the whole, that of
progress, and in the face of difficulties that
would soon have tested and broken down
that progress had it been Fictitious or dis
honest; and that, so far from being sta
tionary barbarian or n hopeless retrograde,
the formerly despised black man promises
to become true follower of the highest
civilization, new object of interest TO the
world, and an exemplary citizen of the
South"

JUDICIAL CONVENTIONS.

The West Tennessee Republican,
Radical, is opposed to nominating con.
ventions for judicial officers. The Greene.
vile New Era and the Jonesboro Union
Flag, both Radical, announce the hold.
ing of convention in upper East Ten
ness, pursuant to call of the Republi.
can Executive Committee" "for the pur-
pose or nominating candidates for Chan.
cellor, Circuit Judge, and Attorney Gen
eral."
Where there is a prospect of success
the Radicals warmly espouse conventions
for the purpose of securing thorough or
ganization and unity of action on the part
of their political friends. But where they
have no hope of success they oppose par
tisan conventions, relying upon multi
tude of candidates to breed disorganizs-
ton, through which they hope in the flu
ture to become victorious. 1t was by
virtue of the disOrganization of the Radi-
cal party last year that they were defeat
ed and the masses of the white people of
this State enfranchised. If there had
been concord in the Radical nominating
convention, we would still have been dis
franchised. They were as greatly in the
majority then as we aEe now. We NAV
be as badly disrupted as they were. There
is but one way to maintain our majority:
that is by thorough organization.

tsence upon a time we were informed
that The Knoxville correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial was ''the present
editor of the Knoxville C7tronicte," and
the other day when the latter paper spoke
/ OF Gov. Senter as Democratic Cover
nor, y we reminded il of what its editor
had said of Senter in his correspondence
10 The former paper, to wit: referring
70 the fact that the Radical County Judi
cisi Convention at Knoxville on tine 9Th
Of April 1863, adopted a resolution ia
yoring Senter for Governor, he said s'Phis
was unexpected, for everything has been
going Stokes-ward for the last three
months, but it may be that tidal wave
for 6enter win set in and swallow up the
author of the Duncan letter." ssThe pres !
ent editor of the Cysroaiclen denies that
he ever wrote the letter from which we
quoted, and says he would like for US to
produce it. Of course we cannot, for the
letter was not entrusted to our keeping.
| We have only the extracts we made from
the letter, which were printed in the
UNION AND AMERICAN of April II, 1862.
The above Is one of the extracts we then
made from the Knoxville correspondence
of the Cincinnati Commercial, and the
other extract from the same letter we
give as follows, with the introduction we
:hen gave it: -
,"The Knoxville correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercials predicting that
we shall have tred-hot times' in Tennessee.
He appears to have been sounding the
Radicals of that section touching the
course they will pursue in the. event the
Supreme Court of the United States de-
clares our franchise law unconstitutional,
and he gives the result as follows: 81
/" There is fair reason to presume that
the law viii go overheard, and then we
will have red-hot times here in Tennessee,
more lively thaa comfortable. If such
be the result, the Legislature will probs-
bly, be hastily convened in extra session,
and with clear understanding OF the
melancholy shortness of time, and the
, slender tenure by which they hold Office,
they will enact another law, different in
letter, but alike in spirit, by which they
will hope to still retain the disfranchis-
ed classes in subsection. do not say
that they will certainly attempt such a
J bold course in the face of an adverse de-
cision, but then the only way we have of
judging the future is by the past and the
Legislature of Tennessee, when measured
by that square and compass, viii not fall
far below the mark. The result of such
a state of affairs will be tolerably large
sized row, for every man now disfran-
chised viii see in the decision of the Su-
} preme Court that he has right to vote,
despite the old laws and the new set up
to bar him from the polls"
'The present editor of the Chronicle"
does not deny that he was correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial at the
time alluded to. The question then is,
had the Commercial two correspond
ents at Knoxville who were laundering
their anathemas at the Radicals of East

It appears that mushroom growth Of so-cailed

ury empty. Will be at home as soon as
it can be made on foot. Money gone to
defray the expenses of the reconstruction
reputation committees. Rebel animus
as bitter as in 1861. V. F. GossETT.
We learn upon inquiry at the capito
that Sheriff Gossett brought to the Peni.
Tertiary recently, from Knox county,
eight convicted felons, six men and two
women, all in chains. That, to bring his
prisoners safely, he brought with him
seven guards. That was, with himself,
one for each of the prisoners. He OBJ
tanned from the Comptroller warrants on
the Treasury for the perdiem and mileage
of himself and his seven guards from
Knoxville to Nashville, and back. One
of his guards, for whose re-
turn mileage he obtained a
warrant, came to Nashville seeking en-
ployment; he has not returned and does
not expect to return to Knoxville. We
are further informed that while here
Sheriff Gossett borrowed one hundred
dollars from an ez-Confederate officer
which we suppose satisfied him that 'the
Rebel animus is as bitter as in 1861"
Our General Assembly would do well
to devote itself to little legislation cal
culated to prevent such enormous bills of
cost being made against the State for
unnecessary guards in conveying prisoners
to the Penitentiary.

House of Representatives during the re-
cent exhibition of blackguardism between
Farnsworth and Butler. "Aud what is
worse in it, he says, ''was that the con-
te8tants in this personal row poured out
their abuse of each other in the presence
of, and not only with permission, but to
the evident delight of the House, with
perfect impunity." If two Southern
Representatives had been thus guilty,
would not the Radical press of the North
have groaned with criticisms upon this re-
turn of plantation manners n
