Col. z. 1. Gelladay.

Immediately after the speech of EXPIRES
ident Johnson at the Exposition building
yesterday, loud calls were made upon Col.
E. L. Golladay, our representative in Con-
gress. He mounted the stand, and in a
few pertinent remarks, touched upon the
issues of the DAY, saying that he was willing
to do I'll in his power to re establish the
government upon the basis of the constitu-
ton. He thought that Greeley was the
Moses to deliver US from the hands of the
corrupt party in power. He referred to
the patriotism exhibited in the Liberal Re-
publican movement, and said that when
the Democracy folded their banner at Bal
timore and heartily co-operated with the
movement inaugursted at Cincinnati, he
considered it the Hottest measure of patri-
otisin ever witnessed on the face of the
earth. He invoked those present to move
together on the line of peace and reconcile
alton, and excused himself from making a
speech, because he had no opponent there.
His remarks were well received.

The Rev. T. G. Jones, ID, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, returned home
Friday afternoon from fortnight's trip to
Beersheba Springs.
M. M. Brien, Jr., Esq, returned yester-
day from somewhat protracted visit to
Ohio, evidently feeling somewhat better be-
cause of the respite thus afforded him from
work at law suits, and very much elated by
the hopeful signs he observed while absent
in favor of the election of Greeley and
Brown.
A private dispatch received here yester-
day states that Col John NJ. Fleming was
thrown from buggy at Tullahoma, and so
badly hurt that he was compelled to take
the train for home, instead of coming to
Nashville, as he had intended.

TOBACCO AND BsER $ gAaxPs.

The following from the Washington
Chronicle will afford some explanation Of
the tobacco and beer stamps:
The demand for tobacco stamps, particu-
larry for ten-pound packages, received daily
at the Internal Revenue Bureau, is UMPIRE
cedente5. A larger amount has bsen sent of
ia the last month than for the previous six
months; and, although two sets of hands are
constantly at work, both in the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing in the Treasury
Department, and in the establishment Of
the New York Company, where part Of
the work is done, the demand cannot be
met. Millions Of STAMPS are sent off as they
are completed, and kilograms are constant
liz received from collectors and dealers
''asking for more"
This unusual demand is owing to the
manufacturers having held back their stock
from market to take advantage OF the re-
duction of duty from thiTty-two to twenty
cents on the pound provided for in the re-
cent acs Of Congress.
There is also . largely increased demand
for beer stamps from the principal cities Of
manufacture. Among these San Francisco
holds prominent place, the TeutOnic bev-
erage having grown into such favor in the
Golden State that thousands of kegs, one
third of barrel each, are weekly made up
for transportation ioto the interior and
across the mountains by p2ck-mules. The
increase in the consumption of beer is gea-
eral, and is supposed to be owing TO the ex-
treme heat.

"NRVER FEAR; HOLD ON. I'LL
STAND NV YeU.o

The following from the September Atlantic J
rom the pen of Whittier. 1t refers to the well
lnown rescue of the crew OF an American yes
el, sinking in mid ocean, by Capt Leighton o
he English ship Three Bells. Unable to tax
hem off, in the night and the storm, he stage
~ them until morning, shouting to them iron
ime TO time through his trumpet "Never feaI
lold on, III stand by you"
THE THREE BELLS.
Beneath tha,lcw-h1ng night cloud
That raked her splintering mast
The good ship settled slowly,
The crnel leak gained last.
Over the awful ocean
Her signal guns pealed out,
Dear G5dl was that thy answer
From the horror round about?
A voice came down the wild wind,
ssHOl ship ahoyI'' its cry:
"Our stout Three Bells of Glasgow
Shall stand till daylight byl"
Hour after hour CT ept slowly,
Yet on the heaving swels
Tossed up and down the ship-ights,
The lights of the Three Bells!
And ship to ship made ignals;
Man answered back 20 man,
While oft, to cheer and hearten,
The Three Bells nearer ran;
And the captain from her taffrail
Sent down his hopeful cry,
TsTake heart Hold oni" he shouted,
"The Three Bells shall stand by
An night across the waters
The tossing lights shoEe clear;
All night from Keeling taffrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
of storm and darkness passed,
Just as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at last.
Sail on, Three Bells, forever,
In grateful memory sail;
Ring on, Three Bells of rescue,
Above the wave and galel
AS thine, in night and tempest,
hear the Masters cry,
And tossing through the darkness,
The lights of God draw nigh!

j. L. Weakley, Esq, Grand Master L. o.
o. F. of the State, made an official visit to
Chosen Friends Lodge of Shelbyville, on
Friday night last, and delivered an address
to the members, occupying upwards OF one
hour and a half in its delivery, in which be
reviewed the cardinal principles of the Or
der, and defined certain clauses in the d.
gest of the Grand Lodge of the United
States. The meeting was the largest ever
known in that place, and bis visit had
happy effect. On his way to this city yes
terday morning. he stopped at Wartrace,
and met the members of a lodge at that
place, his visit there also being in official
form, and by previous appointment. Ow-
ing to the early departure of the train,
however, he remained there only q shot
