The town of Tuilaboms during the war
was continually occupied by one of the
other of the opposing forces; Confederate
ard Federal earthworks appear here and
there around the place, and the immense
fort erected by Gen. Bragg, in the winter
OF 1863, looms up in massive and lonely
grandeur about one mile north of the
teWn.
The rayages of the fire king have been
fierce and incessant since the close of The
war. In fact the whole town, exeeptan
occasional store and some of the resi-
Aences, has been burned during the last
five years. A people possessed of less
spirit and resolution would have giYeniup
completely, but the citizens seem
1 TO know no such word as fail.
and are now hard at work restoring
to fertility their wasted fields, and re-
gaining day by day their lost prosperity.
From the ashes have arisen houses and
store houses of far more substantial
character than the former ones. The
blackened ehimneys no longer stand grim
and solitary on the landscapes, surrounded
by rank and profitless weeds, but on all
sides appear store houses, indicative of
lively and profitable trade, and substantial
residences glowing with the light of do
nestle peace and sacred hospitality.
Hospitality is Characteristic of the
citizens here, who GENEROUSLY welcome
the stranger to their houses, and use ev-
cry endeayor to make the sojourn, how
ever Short pass pleasantly. JTul-
lahoma and the surrounding conn
try is being gradually populated by
honest, hard working citizens from the
Northern and Western States 1t is evil
dent they have come to work AM build up
the country. We met several of them,
and were forcibly impressed with
their straight forward integrity and the
clearness of their views in regard to farm
ing or the business interests of the coun-
try. In this section these emigrants have
taken hold of the poorest and most sterile
soil, and by their superior farming skill,
have made it equal, and in some
cases, superior in productiveness, to lands
which, though richer in alluvial, are not
as well cultivated. 1t would be fortunate
if thousands of just such men would
make Tennessee their homes, for nothing
would rebound more to develop agricui-
tural interests. ~ -
In the course of time we expect much
from the gradual development of this
portion of our State. Everything looks
encouraging, and if the people viii only
use the proper energy, material success
and prosperity certainly await them

PARTY PREJUDICE.
The Digestion of Political Fossils
Disturbed
From the Trenton Tenn Gazette.

From the Trenton jTenn.) Gazette.
There still exists in this State, unfor-
! tunately, deep seated political prejudice,
which even the late war has failed 10
eradicate. The late struggle was not
party movement any more than the revo-
luton of '76, but Wings and Democrats
made common cause in contest which
they believed to involve not only the right
of self government, but constitutional
liberty itself. During our protracted
struggle old party lines were ignored and
party prejudices forgotten, and gave place
TO the common idea of political independ-
ence and the establishment of separate
government that should embody and per-
petuate a confederation, founded upon
the idea of the sovereignty of The
States in contradistinction to the
idea of Capitalization. Having failed in
our efforts to establish a separate govern
ment, it becomes the duty of all good cit
liens, while accepting the situation, to
consult the general good and to promote
the interest of the whole country, forget
ting old party prejudices. In Tennessee,
although it may be said there is no def
llbC IiSAl " VI SaiilAdGlOu CACSpt luC lNdulbdlI
still there is majority, opposed to the
Radical policy, of $4,000. Now what
name this large number who oppose the
Radical policy shall assume, is disturbing
the digestion of many political fossils and
evolving a great deal of chronic bile.
Among this class is the Editor of the
West Tennessee Wig, who is now can
wasting portion of West Tennessee and
inveighing against the organization of the
masses opposed to Capitalization and ne
gro equality under the name Democrat
What is there in this name so hideous
as to brighten the veteran editor of the
Wig? Men who are capable of rising
above blind prejudice will regard princi-
pies more than mere names and shadows.
As we have said above, while the
masses in Tennessee opposed to the Rad
ical policy have assumed no definite
name, still the great party in the Northern
States to which we must look for aid
against this enoroachment upon the Con-
stitution and the restoration of our an
cient liberties, is the Democratic party.
We may ignore this party in our local
State elections, but what are We 10 do
when we meet in general convention TO
nominate candidate for the Presidency

In the selection of candidates for po-

ter capacity, is the line of policy TO be
adopted If this commends itself TO our

viTed the shock of battles and the disinte-
grafton of revolutions, and now COM

Webster was great light In the old
Wing party, so long as he adhered
to the principles of the constitu-
ton, and although politically arrayed
against the Democrats, be freely conceded
that they were the only true national par
ty, and through them alone the perpetui-
ty of the Union and free government de-
pended. The Hon. Geo. D. Curtis, a
bosom friend of Daniel Webster, gives
the following account of the last words
that great man ever uttered on the sub
ject of politics. 1t viii be remembered
that Webster died just before the end of
the Pierce and Scott campaign:
calling me to his bedside by my
Christian name, he said: The Wing
candidate will not be elected. You love
your country and think its welfare in
volved in Wing success. This is not so;
let me warn you as you love your coun-
try, to give no countenance to a sectional
geographical party. The Wings, after
this election, viii break up, and upon the
ruins of our party sectional party will
arise. The stability of the Union will
hereafter depend upon the Democracy"

TULLAHONIA.
The Masonic CeIebratiOn-A Glance

etc.
To the Editors q tho Union and American:
Thursday was ST. Johns day and seems
to have been generally celebrated by the
Masons, both in Nashville and elsewhere.
At Tullahcma the Masonic Fraternity
the day with an installation
of the officers elect, of the Manchester
and Tullakoma Chapter and Council, and
also of Tullahoma Blue Lodge The
ceremonies were performed in the South
orn Methodist Church, and were very i'm
pressive The exercises were witnessed
by large number of the citizens of Tul-
lahOma, and also of Winchester and
Decherd. After the close of the installa-
ton ceremonies, Mr.. T. H. Canal,
of Nashville, delivered an address.
We do not remember ever listening to
such lofty genius in one so young, and
when we look amongst those of maturer
age and fully developed intellectual pow
crs, we find his superiors only in Has
KEEL or Davidson, or men of like renOwn.
His thorough familiarity with his subject
the grace and ease with which il was
haAdled, stamp him as an orator of the
MS OluSls
As an eloquent and mastery exposition
OF Masonic character,and duty, his Grafton
cannot be excelled. For more than an
hour the audience were held spellbound
by the pure logic, true manly thought,
deep pathos, and soul-inspiring eloquence
of the speaker, and the universal express
sion was of regret that he did not con-
tinue longer.
We regret our space does not permit

Tullahoma is an attractive place to the
visitor, situated sixty-nine miles from
Nashville on the Nashville and Chattanoo-
"a railroad, on the southern edge of the
first of the many plateaus which, rising
gradually, end at the base of the Cumbcr-
land Mountain range. 1t is justly cele-
brated as one of the healthiest places in
Tennessee. The climate is very salubri-
Gus; hence it became a saying among the
first settlers of tho place, ''that 1t was
