officer IVES ordered On duty from orc station to

item, "Porter, Sd This IVES struck out By tina
War Office. The officer wrote back stating thai
the porter named had conveyed his baggage fcc1e
one station to the other. and that he would other
wise have had to take q cab, which would Lave

fcial reply, stating that under these circum-
stances Els claim would be allowed. but that he

tha temptation which seized him. answered to
the effect that, although he could not discover

aerertheless, do as he was told, aud wished to
know whether he should use the term cabbage
when be meant :'cab.". The response was 8
severe reprimard from the War Office. The

these Texas beasts we're created for is one OF the
unsolved problems. There is an immeuslty OF

female gives no milk to speak Of, and neither
male nor female is predisposed to- accumulate

he has aided in breaking tho crust Of
prejudice, and setting the people free
from its dominion. Whatever may
have been the effect upon existing or
ganizations-howcyer great and destruc-
tive may have been the crash, 20 the
schemes Of sectional politicians-so
much the better for the people at large
Political power was drifting in dan
gerous course. The public mind needed
to be again aroused and the currents of
thought directed in safer channels, A
fresher and more healthy national spirit
needed to be infused into the politics Of
the times, and the designs OF ambitious
leaders to be met and exposed. He
has endeavored to do his duty, and the
unsought expressions Of gratitude he
has already received from the hands Of
the people, he says is full Of compensa-
ton for all the severe labors of his can
vass. A little shaking up, he thinks,
has done the people much good, and he
looks forward to the future with much
hone and confidence. The despotism OF
old party power in Tennessee is broken
effectually, and the leaders who once led
the people to ruin will not be able now to
carry out their second experiment. Even
the vote of the 9TH can never be repeated.
All the power and arts of invention Of
the old secession leaders were exhausted
