A New Military Hero.

Some of the readers of the WING
AND TRIBUNE have cause to re-
member one Galen E. Greene, who
has been until recently, for several
years, resident of this city. A
short time since, he pulled up stakes,
shook the dust of jackson from his
virtuous feet, and we find him few
days afterwards, revealing his hard
ships while here, to brother radi-
cal at Little Rock, Ark, where he is
understood TO have a State contract
of some sort. The Little Rock Re
publican, under the heading of
Tennessee Democracy, says:
1--WE enjoyed a social visit yester-
day from Colonel G.. Z. Greene, of
Madison county, Tennessee, late
commissioner of registration. The
colonel assures us that previous to
the states passing into the democrat
was a resident (JackSOn) had over
thirty gentlemen with their families
who had come from the north and
settled, bringing with them the
comforts of the civilized states, and
at the very lowest calculation, rep
resenting nearly one hundred thou
sand dollars of capital. Since the
state has become democratic, taxes
have gone up from forty to sixty
cents on the 800, and every one of
the northerners have moved away,
Col. Greene's being the last family
to leave the city"
This Colonel Greene is an adept
in lying, as well as in stealing. He
is no Colonel, and never was. He
held some position in the Federal
army during part of the war, but
was cashierd and dismissed the SER
vice dishonerably, for stealing mules
or some such offence. He brought
nothing with him to jackson, and if
he carried no more with him than
he brought, his carpet bag is light
indeed, and we must say that he is
a most clumsy theft, ifhe did not
succeed in saving anything from the
extensive stealings while here.
Our friend Col. J. 7. Irrelevant of
the Augusta, Ark, Weekly Bulletin
has very good idea of who "Col.
Greene is, and what he is. Here
is what he says about him:
If we were in the habit of betting
we would wager that this "Col.
Greene is a carpet Dagger of tho
first water from the north;
and that if he and his birds of
prey'' haye lef Jackson, that pleas
ans and growing town is decidedly
the gamer. We will also wager
that this carpet Dagger Col.
Greene" carried away more money
than he brought there; and we knot0
that Jackson has not stopped grow
ing because of his departure. When
the democrats get Arkansas in their
hands again, there viii be several
"Col Greens" in this :, ate who will
depart, to the great joy of those left
behind, and who, like "Col. Greene
of Madison county, Tennessee" will
carry with them much more plum
der than they brought with them.

The "ADVOCATE.II

On Monday next, We shall mail, to
our subscribers, the first number of
the new paper. We take pride in
presenting it as a Jackson enter
prise.
OUR OFFER TO FURNISH 1T FREE
OF CHARGE TO ALL NEW sUBscRI-
BERs, AND TO ALL OLD ONES RE
NEwING AND PAYING ONE YEAR
IL ADVANCE, has met with unpre-
cedented favor, although we could
not, until now, show the newspaper.
Some few improvements are to be
made in its mechanical execution
before the second issue, but we be-
lieve its present appearance will
commend it to every farmer in the
country.
We hope that our friends will
show it among their neighbors and
state the unusual inducements we
are offering.
This IS one Of the most important
enterprises ever started in Jackson,
and will do much to give to our
growing city an additional impor-
lance abroad, and bring in immigra-
ton.

RAILROAD NEWS.
NarrOw-Guage Railroad COnVen-
ton.

The holding of q convention of all
the narroW-gauge railroad compa-
MES in the United States, at St.
Louis on the third Wednesday in
June, is attracting the attention Of
railroad men throughout the cOun-
try. We understand that Messrs.
Minor Meriwether, W. ID. Picket,
Major Fred. De Euniack, eminent
civil engineers, will be present at
this convention. Major De Funiack
has seen most of the gauge
railroads in Europe, and his views
will command and deserve great
consideration. The facts that will
be elected will settle the question
whether railroads OF this descrip-
ton will answer the purposes of
roads of q wider gauge. IL will be
ascertained from actual experience
what these roads cost, the relative
eXpene Of operating them and
keeping them in repair and in good
condition will be Rscertained, and
what amount of freight they can
carry, whether they are as safe and
comfortable for the passengers As
other roads. These will be the
questions that will be discussed,
and the results of the actual build
ing and running Of these roads will
be laid before the public in an au-
thoritative shape. Another object
Of the convention will be to agree
upon a system of narrOw-gauge
roads for the South and West, where
we are unable to build roads of a
more costly character. This con-
vention, attended by the ablest civ
il engineers and practical railroad
builders will constitute an era in
the railroad history of the country.
Col. Z. Hullibut, a distinguished
railroad man of Georgia, who pub
lished an admirable pamphlet on the
subject Of narrow gauge railways,
says in a private letter: 81 think the
proposition of holding a narrow
gauge convention a good one and
will be present. Every effort should
be made to make it a success.

OUR POLICY.

The Wing AND TRIBUNE desires
to be actuated in its treatment to
its fellow citizens, whether of the
North or South, by broad, catholic
and liberal spirit. 1t proscribes no
class, and is conducted on the old
republican idea of our fathers
''that the citizen of one State is en-
titled to all the privileges and i'm
munities of any other" In no 9TH
err way can fraternal concord be re-
stored, or the hates of the war OBJ
liberated.
We recognize a man from the
North, without regard to political
antecedents, as a legitimate part and
parcel of the community. A COM
mon flag waves over US all, and no
man beneath its folds should be dis
turbed, molested, or made afraid in
the pursuit of his business. The
WHIG AND TRIBUNE IS edited,
owned and run by men, all of whom
went South, and remained there
during the entire war They did
not skulk behind the lines, or seek
refuge beyond the Ohio, and, after
the fight was over sneak home and
pirate about Southern honor, chival-
ry and all that sort of buncombe;
the stale merchandise of towards
in times of peace.
But we ask no one to take our pa
per, because we were in rebellion.
That is an obsolete issue, and has
had its day. And further, if we
choose, either as an Office, or any
member decides so to do, to form a
purely business alliance with a
northern man, we shall certainly
not consult our venerable and testy
neighbor, who, however, surely
would not object, in view OF his
own surroundings, to such a con-
junction.
The cry of radicalism has no ter
r0rs for us. We know whence it
originates, and we spit upon the
foul calumny. We know that the
people are with us in our labors to
defeat Grant; to perpetuate true
democracy; to save the constitution,
and to arrest our progress as ma
ton towards the rocks of consolida-
ton. Our subscription list shows
whether we have or have not struck
the popular cord. 1t is our best
vindicator, and we appeal to it in
refutation of the baseless charges of
our political foes.
Again, we undertake to say that
the South wants Northern capital
and muscle, and these things must be
invited here, and fostered and en-
couraged. 1t is idle for the South
TO attempt to shut the door in the
face of Northern immigration. Such
a course would be most suicidal; on
this point our course is clear. We
ask the North to come and help us
build up our waste places, and we
promise all our aid in so laudable
work

The TIDE in the fortunes Of Clay
ton has turned, and the ebb viii be
as swift as the food which carried
him into the position OF Senator
from the State the voting power Of
which he so cunningly manipulated
and so unscrupulOusly used. The
action of the house committee on
elections Yesterday, in declaring
Dowles entitled to the seat now
occupied in that body by Edwards,

of developments that viii compel
CIayton's ignominious expulsion
from the senate. He has nothing
more to hope for in. Arkasas. The
day is past when he and his friends

their own purposes, and SIX months
from to-day there viii not be an

of the Kansas Jayhawker who for
three years owned that State as
completely as though be had title
deeds to every rood Of land within
its limits. -ADDedL.

FRANCE.

The following; which we copy
from a late number of the Louis
Vile Courier-JOUrnGl, contains food
for thought. Louis Napoleon was
the best ciCd ruler France ever had
not excepting his uncle-and his
return to the throne of that unhap-
Ply, country, at this time, would
perhaps, under the circumstances,
be the best possible thing that could
happen:
The incident mentioned in our
dispatches of yesterday, as having
occurred in Wednesdays session of
the French Assembly, was most sig
nificant. The proposition to confis-
cate the family property ofNapoleon
was received with shouts OF deri-
sion, and the motion received but
twenty out of all the votes in the
Assembly. 1t would not be sur
prising if the prophecy of the exile
of Chislehurst should prove true.
With the General-in-Chief of the
army an lmperialist; the idle labor
ers and mechanics of Paris longing
for the return of the Emperor and
occupation; the Assembly divided
within itself, and the President
holding in Office by the unstable and
tenure of necessity, the close of the
year may see the throne of Napoleon
re-established in France.

New Jersey.

Governor Parker, OF New Jersey,
in presenting his second Inaugural
Message to the Legislature, gives
utterance TO these noble words:
To give Leace to the South and
prosperity TO the whole country, the
christian spirit of charity must be
invoked. Magnanimity and forgive
ness shoHld take the place OF hate
and vengeance. Love and good will
can accomplish more than prOscrip-
ton. Remove ali political disabili-
ties, and with universal amnesty.
Let men OF character and capacity,
interested in the welfare Of the peo-
Die among whom they live, be eligi-
Ole TO Office, and harmony will soon
be restored, good government be
established, the issues growing out
of the war buried in oblivion-and
the country, free from the clogs that
impede advancement, be invigorated
with new courage and strength TO
run the race Of national progress.

Louisville Hotel.

The business season is approach
ing and this time-honored institu-
ton is getting ready for the usual
food of visitors. This is one of the
best kept Hotels in the United
States, and no one ever calls with
out returning a second time. NJ.
Kean, as a hotel prince, has no SUI
perier, and his treatment to all has
made him very popular. Mr.. Judge,
his partner, is a thorough gentle
man, always at his post, studious in
his attentions to his guests, and
alive to all the wants of the travel
ing public. The location of the ho-
tel, and the fact that it is the place
where everybody goes to see every
body in Louisville, together with
its generally universal attractions,
has made it one of the most popu-
lar. Hotels in the L. S., esp ecially
men visiting the city. We hope our
readers will stop at this house as
usual.

General EVER. Last words.

The Memphis Appeal of Friday
saws with a great deal of truth and
force, that General Ewells last
words attest his devotion to his
country, and his tombstone will
show that, however ardent his at
lection for the South, it was finally
measured, when the clamor of arms
was silenced, by an undying patriot
ism that compassed 4 continent
Though the North may not give ere
dence to the assertions of the living,
the iniunctions of the dying soldier
to those whom he most loved will
surely constitute irrefragable evil
derce of the honest sincerity and
civic worth of leaders of the South.

tions, in whose behalf propositions
of amnesty are now considered in

NTardi-Cras in Memphis.

a meeting was held in Memphis
last Monday evening for the pur-
pose of inaugurating the ceremo-
MES for the celebration of Mardi-
Gras in that city, on the 18th of the
present month. From the names
mentioned in the proceedings, it is
but fair to infer that the celebration
which has already been determin-
cd upon-will be one of the most
interesting ones ever held any
where. A goodly number of the
citizens of Jackson and vicinity, we
learn, are preparing to go to New
Orleans to witness the pageant
which is there yearly enacted. Why
not go to Memphis, which is nearer,
less expensive, and more in harmo-
ny with the fitness of things.

As was anticipated, the Senate to-

of the bill prohibits the admission
of State which has not the pOpula-

ing stricken from the bill.
