this he was, doubtless, mistaken. Cap.

may be an event OF vast interest to the

in the unsuccessful venture has been

For several years the whole strategy
OF Northern politicians. Republican and
Democratic. has been to keep the South
in hot water, for the purpose Of infu-
enoing the popular mind at the North.
And in the South the common run of
Democratic politicians have been stupid
enough, and the common run Of carpet
bag politicians have been unsorupulous
enough, to do the utmost for making that
strategy a complete sucocess in the par
tioular Of perpetual hot water, diversi-
fed with frequent boilings over and oc.
oasional steam explosions. Is it not

HE DFPRRRNCE.-The difference be-.
tween General Hampton's testimony and
that OF Generals Sherman and Howard
as to the burning OF Columbia, is such as
that Hampton's must be- believed in pre-
Terence to theirs. So long as Hampton
and his soldiers were in Columbia, it was
absolutely impossible that he could know
what they did. The same is true as to
Sherman and Howard and their soldiers.
It is absolutely impossible that either Of
these latter Generals can truthfully
swear that they know that Columbia was
not fred by their troops. But the case
was changed the moment that Hampton
and his soldiers left the town. Hampton
being behind them. There was then no
FIRE in Columbia. aud he can, therefore,
truthfully testify that he known that his
soldiers did not burn that place. On
the contrary, Sherman and Howard end
their troops remained in the place until
after it was burned; and 80 it is impossi.
BILE for either Sherman or Howard to
swear that their troops did not fire the
town. Their testimony is worthless, to
ssy the least. To say what ought to be
said Of it, it is very little short OF per.
jured testimony.

Son hath sent from the Father, even the
Spirit Of truth. We have assembled here
this day, o Lord, to perform sad and
mournful, yet pleasing, duty-to show
forth our love and remembrance for our
fallen comrades, brothers and friends,
who offered up their lives in cause
which is dear to every heart. They died
to maintain truth, justice, principle and
right. They offered up their lives cheer
fully, believing that they were maintain.
ing the cause Of Christian liberty in the
land; and now would we, who have been
spared, show forth our love for them,
and our belief in the principles they
fought and died for. by s.rewing their
graves with garlands and keeping their
memories ever fresh in our minds. For.
bid it, Lord, that we should ever forget
them, or over grow cold in our tokens OF
regard.
We beseeoh Thee. o, Thou who art the
God OF tho widow and of the fatherless,
to look down in mercy and bless the
widows and orphans of those who fell,
struggling for the cause Of liberty.
Thou alone knowest their sufferings,
their trials, their anguish Of heart. How
many there are. this day, suffering want
and privation, with no earthly protector,
no strong arm to lean upon, no loving
heart to rest in, but robbed OF their
protectors, their homes. and all that
makes life dear, they are, this day,
mourning with bleeding hearts. Lord,
take them lndor Thine especial care and
protection. Bless, in an especial manner,
the children who are fatherless; may
they be raised up to revere the memory
of their fathers and to stand up boldly
for the principles of truth and justice,
for which their ancaators sacrificed their
lives. Let them not be led off into
paths OF wickedness. nor bring disgrace
upon the names they bear by forgetting,
for q moment. that cause which is 90
dear to all our hearts; but may they

PEABODY AID.
But one school outside of Knoxville has
put itself in condition to ask aid from the
Peabody Fund. To obtain aid. the school
must be regular free school, with an en- :
rollment of one hundred pupils and an av-
erage attendance of eighty-five per cent.
lt must also be a ten-months graded
school, with a teacher for every fifty
pupils, and have fund for eX-
penses amounting to twice the sum
asked. For one hundred pupils three
hundred dollars are given. There are
several points in the county at which Di-
rectors should begin to make arrangements
Tor establishing these Peabody-aid schools.
Among others, / will mention Thorn
Grove, Concord, Heiskelrs Station. Pow

requirements can not be met the first wear.
perhaps they can the second: and if moi
the second, likely the third. The addi-
ton of two thousand one hundred dollars
to the school fund of the county outside
or Knoxville, would be worth irving for
especially when it is paid us simply for
doing ourselves the greatest possible good.

such schools be taught even without sim
