1 We select the following "home thrust. from speech upon the India n question, delivered by Hon. R. C. Mccormick in the House of Representatives, July lth. The sentimental ity and hypocracy which have built up so great fabric of wrongs at the Indians door must have suffered severe shock from the scrap of history so artfully brought to bear upon the question;
 Mir. Speaker, our pioneers are peculiarly unfortunate in this Indian matter They are not only subjected to attacks of the Sa7ages ot the WeAt. but they are lectured by the wlse' acres of the East Much of the trouble under ihs latter head com es from New England ana from men who never SAW an Indian Tn hls ne' sIVe lan. Now, when the New England peo- pie had actual difficulties with Indians, and knew somethi ng of the matter, they were far more severe in their policy shan We ot the West have ever been.
 Have you any doubts upon this point If SO 1t will be easy to remove them. Cotton question. Listen, then, to bis account of how the Pequots were brought to terms. The most exaggerated version of the Piegan matter did AOb pfOSduL uhli dO udlu a CdDo Sa ShlS SAiAAN N Pequot business, and yet the PequotS troubled the Puritans comparatively little. He says that in 1884 they killed eight of the settlers in 1885 they kiliedsseverAl sailors ship"recked on Long Island in 1886 they murdered the masters of a vessel at Block Island, and some few more were captured and tortured. He then brings his climax thus
 Unto all which there was annexed the slaughter of nine mon, with the taking of two maids by this horrid enemy"
 This is his summing up of all the viIlainicE committed by this Pequot tribe, and yet he says the provocation was considered so great
 sThat he infant colonies of New England, finding themselves necessitated unto the crushing of serpents, while they were yet in the cradle, unanimously resolved that with the assistance of heaven, they would root this nest of ssrpsnLs out | of the world.''

THAT DISCUSSION.

On the l2th of August the great discussio1 . between Dr. Newman of the Methodist Met ropolitan church in Washington and Orson Prstt the great Mormon tbeologician, on the question "Does the Bible Sanction Polygamy, T was commenced in the New Tabernacle at Salt Lake The arguments of Dr. Newman, owing io part to the side of the question on which be vas placed, were by far the more forcibls and convincing throughout; but more especially on the third and lsst day did his powerful reasoning and rare eloquencs strike dismsy throughout the Saintly multitude which, for the frst time saw clearly the loathsome = ness of the great theoeratical institution. Pratt was vsnquisned and the Saints" ackuow- ledge his defeat The Desert News, a Mormon journal, proclaims the issue without reserve, and recommends that tho cleansing process commence forthwith and that Mormonism be regarded as mistake of the past which ii were better to cancel at once that the enormitY may not descend to history ip c more sggra- vsted form.

Effect Of Music on Sheep.

Hayden relates the following aneodote with
regard to the power Of music:
"1n my early youth ] went with some other
young people equally devoid of care, one day
during the extreme heat of summer, to seek for
GOODNESS and fresh air on one of the lofty noun
tains which surround the Lago Masgiore, in
Lombardy. Having reached by daybreak the
middle OF the ascent we stopped to contemplate
the Berromean Isles, which were displayed un-
der our feet, in the middle of the lake, when we
were surprised by a large flock af sheep, which
were leaving their fold to 20 to pasture. One of
our party, who was no bad performer ON the
flute, and who always carried his instrument
along with him, took it out of his pocket.
'''I am going said he, TO turn Corydon; let
us see whether Virsl's sheep will recognize their
pastor
'Hc began to play. The sheep and goats,
which were following one another toward the
mountain, with their heads hanging down. raised
Them at the first sound of the flute, and all with
a general and hasty movement, turned to the
side from whence the agreeable sounds proceed
ed, Gradually they iiockcd around the m musician,
and listened with motionless attention lie
ceased playing; still the sheep did not stir. The
shepherd with his staff obliged those nearest him
to move on. They obeyed; bat no sooner did
the tutist oegan to play again then his auditors
again returned to him The shepherd, out Of pa.
thence, pelted them with clods Of earth but not
one would move. The hutist played with ad-
ditonal skill; the shepherd fell into passion,
whistled, scoldea, aud pclted the amateurs with
stones Such as were hit by them began to
march, but the others still refused to stir AT
last the shepherd was obliged TO entroat Orpheus
to stop his magic sounds. The sheep then moved
on but continued to stop at distance, az often
| az our friend resumed the agreeable instrument,
The tune he played was nothing more than the
lavori'e air Of the opera at that time performing
al Milan. As music was our continual employ;

horticultural Fair.

The Third Annual Exhibition of the
Tennessee Horticultural Society will COM
mence tomorrow and continue through
Thursday and Friday. 1t is almost super
fious for us to say to those who have wit
messed the former exhibitions, that they
are among the most interesting gatherings
and fruitful of as much high-souled enjoy
ment as any that take place in the city or
the State. At the same time they produce
a generous and refined emulation to excel
in the delightful avocation of horticulture
and Horticulture, adding thus to the material
advancement of our fields and orchards and
vineyards. Extraordinary preparations have
been made by the society to have the pre-
sent exhibitiona complete and gratifying
success, and we feel sure that they will not
be disappointed in their efforts. The
society is in flourishing condition, there
having recently been large accession of
members, and if they are but seconded by
our people, as they should be, it will be-
come q permanent fixture and institu-
ton of the city of which we all
may feel Justly proud. Let the people all
attend the exhibition The expense is a
mere trifle, and yet the aggregate viii be
| to the society of immense value. For the
sAnnh expense luOuHreu oacn PefSou attenu-
ing gets double in value received, besides
helping to promote an interesting labor in
our midst. We stepped into Masonic Hall
yesterday evening, and it is being put in
excellent trim and preparation for the oc-
casion. The display of fruits, vegetables,
grapes, ETC., in profusion and endless
variety, will surpass any former exhibition,
while flowers will be abundantly on hand.
1t is desirable that those who may have
articles to exhibit should bring them to the
hall as early as possible tomorrow morn
