was brought before Justice Cassetty yester-
day afternoon on charge of striking James

For the busy hum of life is over and
about the place. The shadows come and
go over the sod as the soft summer winds
stir the leaves above. At the foot of the
grave is the semblance in marble of the
lower end of couch. At the head, that of
the upper end. On the inside of this is a
scroll partly opened, on which his name is
written. Other inscription or monument
there is none, and never was design
more beautiful put over hero. Labor in
life, rest after labor, coming glory on the
earth and above the earth, are all set forth
in the few lines carved on that marble. No
mausoleum with its glowing inscription
with which coming ages will adorn the
spot, can so touch the heart of the pilgrim
who shall come from distant lands to honor
departed genius, as the simple device above
him now, that bears the name of Jackson.
The living and the dead, one in labor the
other in rest, one in hope the other in
glory.
1 must not leave Lexington till l visit
one whose sad lot it is to have neither The
rest or the labor, but only the long anguish
of patience. These were three brothers in
the family; one of them was our State
Attorney, the other Congressional speaker
both of national reputation. This one, DR..
Bocock, the most talented, It was said Of all,
was among our most gifted and eloquent
ministers. While preparing one day for the
pupils, when crowds were wont to be
swept away by the grandeur of his thoughts,
he was struck with paralysis. He had be-
fore been warned Of danger and advised to
stop preaching, but be said he was not free
to leave his masters service. | see him,
"Ah me. How changed from that Hector. "
An image of life in death and death in life,
speeches., helpless, shattered, just able to
crawl into the sunlight by the assistance of
his noble wife whose life is devoted to him.
He greets me with tears. He murmurs-I
can hardly catch the words-s'the King and
his beauty" Again he murmurs, 'fae
trouble is nearly over" These two phrases
are all he utters now. But never, when
hundreds sat spell bound under his elo-
quence, did he give such living commenda-
ton of the gospel he preached. Before this
letter has been sent away, l rejoice to be
able 10 add that the trouble is over, for
be has gone to see the King in his beauty.

A Beautiful Night.

Last evening the moon shone forth with
unusual splendor, the sky was beautifully
clear, and more than the usual number of
young people awaited themselves Of the
favorable opportunity for meeting "by
moonlight alone" One of the young
Nashville admirers of the fair was out
walking with young lady of more than
ordinary attractions in retired street, and
unfortunately thinking no one was near,
was overheard by representative of the
UNION AND AMERICAN to deliver himself
of the following with a somewhat theatrical
air:
The moon and this beautiful night love,
With the stars, the sweet bright stars above,
And with you, my angel, in the dim twilight
love to walk. Oh / love the night.

To the Editor of the Union and American
At cut and dried convention at our
Courthouse the first Monday in this month,
it was resolved that the choice of our peo-
pie for Congress for the State at large was
B. F. Cheatham, and that our delegates cast
the vote of the county for him.
Andy johnson is our choice. We want
statesmen now; we need them; our country
demands them. Our liberties require that
we put such men in office that understand
the machinery of government. In a word,
we want our very best men. We all love
Chatham as General, citizen and neigh
Dor; but for Congress for the State at large
we want johnson. VoX PoPULI.

this, again, he has only to wait till the boat
reaches him, which it is sure to do at last.
We made the journey at night and can
not practice this pastime. But the sur
roundings are calculated to inspire the
thoughtless with awe. The wide waters,
which are at least six yards across, their
depth, which in some places is known to
be ever forty inches; the high wind which
dashed the waves into frenzy, making them
break when fully half inch high against
