rsTABLISHED 184O.

WE have heretofore commented on
the slander-mills that have been put
in operation in the South for the pur-
pose Of grinding out falsehOods about
''outrages" and murders Of loyal citi-
zens. Barbour Lewis is running one
of these mills in this city, and the
negroes started one at Nashville on
Saturday last. In our dispatches Of
yesterday appeared the following:
NASHVILLE February 25-The Col
Ored State Convention adjourned to-
day after four days session. Reports
were adopted stating that nearly all
the cOlored schools have been sus-
pended outside of large cities, on ac-
count of Outr8ges committed on teach
ers; and, that the cOlOred children
must look to the Federal Government
for means Of education; and that the
wages Of labOrers are low, cOnse-
quently want and destitutiOn prevail.
Employers do not faithfully execute
their contracts; life is unsafe, cOlOred
men being put TO death for small Of
fensas and their families outraged with
impunity. Congress Is looked to for
protection.
1t is about time for these accusations
to be exposed and their authors held
I'D to public contempt. There is not
a more laW-abiding State in the Union
than Tennessee. Why did not this
living colOred convention specify the
outrages that have been committed on
the teachers Of negro children, and
the colored men who have been put to
death for small Offenses? 1t may be
true that employers have not faithfully
executed their contracts, because the
negroes have turned politicians, and
violated their contracts by hunting
and living in idIeness, and by stealing
from their employers. The effort to
hunt one Of these murders Of negroes
for small Ofenses or the Outrages com
mirted on negro schOOl-teachers is like
hunting down a win-O'-the-wisp in
the Mississippi swamps. Everybody
knows that nothing of the sort has
occurred in West Tennessee. We
hear Of these outrages in Middle Ten
nessee. but when we visit that wicked
region Of the State we are told they
occur in East Tennessee, and when
YOU get among the hills and noun
tains YOU are told Of the hOrrid cOndi-
ton Of affairs in West Tennessee. The
conviction Of the Cuba prisoners
shows that the people Of West Ten
nessee intend to punish outlaws, and
| if the negroes of West Tennessee will
show Us a single outrage upon negro
schOoI-teachers, or the cOlored man
who has been put to death for small
ofenses, we engage to bring the Of
Tenders to justice. Can the press of
Middle and West Tennessee make the
same pledge? If the negro conven-
ton at Nashville told falsehOOds, let
it be exposed. IT what they resolved
be true, let the State Of Tennessee, il
need be, detail her whole police force,
her militia, on the duty of arrestng
the outlaws; and if the eXigency re-
ouire it, let her exhaust the treas Ures
of the State to stimulate zeal in the
undertaking.

A TELEGRAM from Paris announces
this morning the terms Of peace.
They are such as will challenge be
lief They are exacting-in the pres

cruelty exacting, and must forever
stain the fame of Prussia. One wrong
does not make another right. 1t viii
therefore be vain for Germans to at
tempt to Justify the ineXorable Bis
marck by what the First Napoleon
performed in his day in Prussia.
Alssce and Metz are to become Prus-
sian territory; the French are to pay
an indemnity ofone thousand milliard
francs lequal to nine hundred and
ssrmtv-frs millions Of d0UarS); and
pesce will be proclaimed only when
fine uewlv-eIected National Assembly
rsti6es the terms. The telegraph
also informs US that Thiers,
Provisional President of France,
together with his fellOw-Peace Com
missioners, has accepted these terms
and Is now in Bordeaux. with a view
to urge them upon the National As
sembly. II accepted, it can only be
with the understanding that it is
for the sake of securing time to recu-
parate and to make such alliances
and preparations as will enable
France TO repudiate a debt
forced upon her In true robber-
ike style, and which, in view Of her
losses during the war, it will be found
wholly impossible for her to pay. The
Goths and Nandals are outdOne.
Prussia has paled their Intellectual

million dollars, besides hundreds Of
thousands Of valuable lives and two
thousand millions Of property de-
str5yld! France certainly pays the

Singing to Death.

The following affecting incident oc-
cure d in Lexington, Kentucky, while
the StrakOsch Company was in that
city. The story is told by an eye-wit-
ness: On Sunday last, as the vener-
able Chief Justice Robertson, stricken
by the hand of death, lay almost in
sensible to the world which he seemed
fast leaving forever, while the gigantic
brain, which, for so many years, has
thrObbed grandly to the inspirations
of his genius, barely futtered with
the consciousness OF life, he expressed
a desire to hear Miss Cary sing the
ballad of Old Folks at HOme,' as il
the strains of his favOrite melody
would have power to call back his
soul from the portals of the grave
which he was 50 fast nearing. The
wish was at once communicated to
Miss Cary, who willingly consented
to do anything in her power to arouse
the ebbing current Of life in one who,
as a statesman or jurist, has known
bat few rivals during the course of a
long and eVentful life. On reaching
the residence OF Judge Robertson, Miss
Cary was at once uShered into
the chamber where so much of in
tellect and learning was fast flick
ering out into the darkness
Of the unknown Hereafter, and
without accompaniment of any kind
raised her rich contraltO voice in the
touching words, way down upon the
SuWanee river but before she had
sung three lines, broke down in the
intensity of her emotion. Calming
herself, She again essayed the ballad,
and, while the venerable and stricken
man lay drinking her glorious melO-
dy, poured out her whole soul in the
simple utterances which gave so much
pleasure to one whose giant intellect
had in days agone, fascinated the
most talented of the land. When she
had ceased, Judge Robertson could
scarcely express his qualification by
signs, yet signitied desire that Miss
Cary should sing for him Home,
Sweet Home Twice did the gifted
artistic attempt to comply with the re-
quest, but her emotion was too great
and, choked with feeling, she was
compelled to leave the room. The
whole incident was one of the most
touching and affecting episodes that
ever marked the death-bed Of depart
ing greatness"

SOMEBODY has been pOnderiug the
almanac. and discovered the following
remarkable facts: 1871 is to have fifty
three Sundays, "but only tifty-tWO
weeks" Moreover, nowhere during
the year does Sunday come Ottener
than once in seven days, and the first
week Of the year begins with Sunday,
and $50 do all the other weeks" Lest
we should be In amaze at this, he eX-
plains matters by saying that the cal
endars for 1871 and 1872 show that the
last week in 1871 begins with
Sunday, and has a Sunday fol-
lowing it. Now, as 1t would
be against all precedent to have
two Sundays come in together, the
year 1872 considerably opens on Mon
day, and since Ii is leap year, Sundays
will occur once in seven days there
after, an arrangement which, this
strange man says, will place Sunday
at the end OF the week instead Of at
the beginning, and thus be complete
triumph for the Seventh Day Baptists.
1t seems that this complication of the
calendar is supposed to have been
planned by the Jews, who, on account
of their superior education, were IN
trusted with this revision" This is
what comes Of devoting One's giant
intellect to the study Of almanacs.
The Vicksburg Mems says; "We
learn that our distinguished fellOW-eit-
izen, Colonel Giles M. Hillyer, was
easier to-day, and that hopes are en-
tertained that he may survive some
days yet. This viii be gratifying In
! telligence to his numerous friends.
Their name is legion. Colonel HillyeT
! has always been q public spirited man,
1 full Of generous impulses, a distin-
: guished ornament Of the press of the
State in which he was almost 8 piO-
neer. and a citizen sans peUF ct sans
