Wine vs.. Water.

A Knoxville exchange Of Sunday last
has this good one:
1.-TWO young members of the Knoxville
bar, while on a recent visit TO the mountain
county town of Morgan county, had sad
accident befall them through which they
lost their horses. Water, it is known, is
scarce at Wsrtburg, and pure native wine,
distilled from the mountain grape, is plenty,
Owing to the scarcity of the former, or the
unusual quantity demanded by the young
barristers for their daily ablutioDs, their
seeds were given native wine with which to
quench their thirst. So it was, the horses
got on tight, or the riders in a moment Of
felicity loOSed them, for one morning it was
found they had disappeared. The EquO-
Malaria, or something else, keeps them out,
for one Of our friends rode in on lumber
wagon, ana the other is out in the noun
tains hunting his horse"

A Negro Attempts TO Assassinate d
COIored Preacher.

The Jackson Wing and Tribune, Nov. 2,
says: "On Saturday night last, While the
eolored Baptists we're assembled in their
Church in South Jackson for public wOr-
ship, some unknown person fired into the
Church at their pastor-one Webb. A
stampede was the result, and, as the con-
gregstiOn fed, another shot was fired, and
one Tom Hurt bit in The right arm. Later
in the night Parson Webb was fired on
again, and saw enough Of the would-be as
sassin to know that be was a cOLOred man.
1t seems that several members of the church
had fallen out some weeks before about
their church property and funds, and some
were "turned ont" for unchristian conduct.
This caused great bitterness, and it is sup
posed by the colored people that the would
be assassin of ParsOn Webb is one of those
turned out of the church. Parson Webb
is eolored man Of good character. The
oolored people are thoroughly aroused, and
if the would-be assassin don't look sharp
they viii catch him.

what the Horse DIsease has Done.

The dyspeptic scissors man Of the Gin
cinnsti Enquirer, not content with the
damage already inflicted upon the country
by the horse epidemic, gloOmily predicts
worse things in the future. He says:
"Reitch enstikeOf, the eminent pianist;
La de la Foufoe, the unsurpassed violinist,
and Screechowloni, the unrivaled prima-
donna, are all crowded out of the Cos
sip of the newspapers and the telegraph
by the great catastrophe among the
horses. As everything that sets the coun-
try apto q futter of excitement is seized
upon by the mOdistes, We need not be
surprised--in fact, we have every reason to
expect--to hear of the horse disease polo
nsise, the horse distemper bonnet, the
horse catarrh collar, and sweet thing In
skirts, the distemper pattern with eatarrh
trimming, cut bias and headed with a fut-
ing Of disease in box plaits--or words to
that effect.D

THE SOUTHERN ASYLUM.
A Novel suit and Recovery OF SO, OoO.

TIE Memphis appeal, Nov. /, has this:
"The Second Circuit Court-Judge Hal
seY presiding; Clspp, Vance q Anderson
for plaintiff; KOrtrecht 81 Scales for defend
ants-has been for several days overhaul
ing the old affairs of the Southern Asylum,
which, Immediately after the war, attracted
the attention of the whole South, and has
given their verdict to plaintiff, DIR. j. w.
Rogers, on note Of six thousand dollars,
with interest to date, drawn to his Or
der by Ii. d. L. Ste 1art, President of the
Southern Asylum, and others. The de-
Tense set up in plea want of considera-
ton, and wished to establish it on the
ground that lottery was unlawful, that the
plaintiff was unlaWfuly connected with
this company, and it was admitted on all
hands that if this could be established the
courts could not sustain the plaintiff. The
plaintiff, on the other hand, claimed and
proved, as the verdict shows, that he was
not one of this lottery company in Tennes-
Mississippi, where it was lawful,
and turned it over to them in
Mississippi; that the note was given for
lands he had sold the company, and that
he, being In no way connected with their
lottery scheme in Memphis, ~ director,
was not responsible for their illegal acts, or
Encouragement of their institution; all of
which was sustained by proof, Judge Hal
sey's charge, and by the verdict of the jury
constituting it.
"The counsel on both sides acquitted
themselves handsomely, displaying great
legal ability. The speeches of Messrs.
KOrtrecht, Clapp and Anderson will long
be remembered as learned forensic efforts
in Memphis"

Tom, old fellow, 1 grievo to see
That sleeve hanging loose at your side;
The arm you lost was worth to me
Every Yankee that ever died.
But you don't mind it at all,
You swear you've a a beautiful STUMP,
And laugh at the damnable ball;
Tom, know you we're always trump.
see the people in the street
Look at your sleeve with kindling eyes;
And know you, Tom, there's naught so sweet
As homage shown in mute surprise
Bravely your arm in battle strove,
Freely for freedoms sake you gave it;
1t has persisted, but a nations love
In proud remembrance will save it.
We laid him to rest in his cold narrow bed,
And 'grayed on the marble we placed DER
his head,
AS the proudest tribute our sad hearts could
pay
"He never disgraced the jacket of gray"

l have just read in the Memphis ArG-
lGnche, published on the third day of this
month, which was yesterday, Sunday, that
Emerson Etheridge made speech at Ex-
change place, Memphis, Saturday night, in
which lie took ground for johnson against
Cheatham. This cures me of the johnson
fever. Although am no politician, l re-
member how Etheridge raved against John
son here three years ago in the Senatorial
election. But l also remember when
Andrew johnson came to Nashville as Mil
itarysGoVernor; he was then accompanied
by two distinguished Tennessee politicians,
who acted as his political right and left
bowers, while he was the big card. These
two politicians, who came with Mr.. John
son, and ate, drank, slept and spoke with
him, were HorscG Maynard and Emerson
Etheridge. Thousands of other citizens of
Nashville viii remember their COM
ing and the terror it spread through our
community. Look back to the newspapers
of that day and you will see what they said
and what they did. Since then have been
a warm johnson man, but when see that
same old three making that same old fight
against "the traitors and treason" Of the
South, unwilling 10 forget and forgive, in
tend to vote for Frank Cheatham if he never
does open his mouth except to say yes or
no. lie will vote right at least. That is
more than Maynard has done, and more
than johnson will do where the Southern
people have interests at stake.

ANOTHER IBISHMAN SPEAKS
OUT.
Pungent Views of an Old and Lead
ing Irish Catholic.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
was very glad to see Mr.. O'Sulliyan's
card in your paper of Sunday, and only
wish it could have been published at an
earlier date. believe / understand Ten
nessee politics to some extent and the cir
cumstances under which Mr.. johnson made
that famous race against the Know Moth
ings. They were thick as hops here in
Nashville, the very fellows who are now
believing for johnson. The fact is Mr..
johnson wanted TO be Governor, inst as
bad as he now wants to be Congressman,
and he took the platform that the Democ-
racy in convention assembled gave him.
Who were the men that made that plat
form? E. G. Eastman, John Z. Howard,
W. A. Quarles, f. q. Huntington and M.
D. Cardwell. Well, Eastman died lust
before the war, true Democrat to the
last. John K. Howard died ,valianlly fighting
under the conquered banner" While W.
A. Quarles, F. g. Dannington and NJ. d.
Cardwel are to day for the Democracy and
Cheatham. As you well say, all those men
called "precipitators" and secessionists,"
were Democrats, who fought for the rights
of the Irish and the Germans, and
made the sunny South a solid barrier against
the Northern bigotry and fanatieism Of that
dag. Mr.. johnson took the platform of
liberty Of conscience, made for him by
those "precipitators," Wm. a. Quarles, F.
G. Dunnington and NJ. D. Cardwell, and
he appealed to the generous people of Ten
nessee, who are very different from the
Nashville nabobs who were then riding
"Uncle Sam" And to tell the truth, john
son stole all his thunder in that campaign
from Henry A. Wise, of Virginia. Wise
was the man that afterwards hanged the
law-breaker, John Brown, at Harper's
Ferry, and "precipltated" the war, sup
pose, by enforcing the laws and Constitu-
ton of the United States. If any one man
is to have the credit of crushing Know
Nothingism, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, is
the man, and Mr.. johnson knows it. Wise
gave the keynote that was taken up
throughout the country by Democratic
speakers. From January to May, 1855, he
traversed over 8, 0CO miles of Virginia in al
directions, making fifty set speeches, though
suffering most Of the time from habitual
illoess. The result Of his herculean efforts
was a majority of 10000, which gave the
first staggering blow to Know Nothingism
and hurled it back Northward whence it
came. THOMAS FARRELL.

Only one Fault.

She is lovely creature, over whose gold
en- head some seventeen summers, and
about the same number of winters have
sweetly glided. Born and raised in this
city, she counts her friends by the score.
Her parents are wealthy, and no expense
has been spared iD her education, and being
naturally gifted girl she has developed into
one of the brightest ornaments of Nashville
society. She always dresses in exquisite
taste, and when she appears in full toilette
with her wealth of golden tresses falling
over her taper shoulders, forming beau
tiful setting for her lovely fes-
lures and bright, sparkling eyes, she
is picture indeed. as might De supposed
this paragon of accomplishments and fair
type of female loveliness has no lack Of ad-
mrers among her gentlemen scquaintances,
any one Of whom considers himself highly
honored when accorded the privilege Of her
company to church, or TO places of social
entertainment, although the individual so
favored fully realizes the fact that nc there
b. excites the envy and dislike Of his less
fortunate associates, but yet any spirited
young man would consider this but slight
drawback 50 long as he was the happy re-
cpient Of the smiles and favor of Miss
- -, and she never lacks Tor an escort
whenshe needs the services Of one. Among
her lady acquailtances, she is esteem.c;I1 a
fayorite, for, while she reigns queen, she
wears ner honOrs so m0destly, and with
such charming grace, that it is impossible
for any one 70 dislike or envy her her many
advantages and the high social position she
occupies. But this handsome and charming
young lady-lhis embodiment of female
loyeiness and accomplishments, has one
slight fault-a mere trifs, to be sure, but
YET fault. In one particular her educa-
ton has been slightly neglected--she will,
when at thu table, persist in wiping her
nose with her napkin.

The Trenton NeacS, Oct. 80, says: There
are a good many conflicting reports about
the killing of a negro last Saturday night
about seven miles from this place. The
most plausible one is. that the negro had in
suited a sister of Wagster's and that last Sat
urd&y night Wagster rode up to where
the negro'S quarters were, and told him
that the dogs had freed coon down in the
bottom, and asked him to 90 with him to
cut the tree down. The negro got up be-
hind him on the horse, and they rode off
into the bottom. Since that time Wagster
hss not been heard of, aud last Monday the
negro was found dead in the bottom, hav-
ing been shot through thu breast with
pistol at close range, as bis clothes were
sirged aud blackened by powder.

Last Sunday two gentlemen of College

the war, attended church and became so
deeply interested in the remarks Of the
minister that they have resolved to atone
for their past dereliotiOns by becoming
regular church goers. The friends of these
gentlemen are not only surprised but very
much gratifed by their conduct Sunday,
which, it is hoped, willresult in much good.
