Glorious News From Henderson

We learn that at meeting of por-
tion Of the citizens of Henderson county
on Tuesday of this week at Lexington,
strong resolutions in favor of county
subscription of $4,000 to the Memphis
and Knoxville and Henderson Station
and Paris roads were adopted. The meet
ing was participated in by the lcanding
AID influential citizens Of the county.
We will give the resolutions next week.
The Henderson Station and Paris road
will be valuable auxiliary to tho Mem.

Some time ago w G. Brownlow took
the editor of the Southern Home to task
for having said something about the
death of Genl Candy which did not suit
his refined loyal taste. Hill comes back
at the old fumigator in strong language,
Of which the following is a sample:
The whole life of this miserable crea-
ture has been a sham and lie. A min>
lister Of the pure gospel Of Christ, he has
belched forth nothing but falsehoOd, bias
phcmy and obscenity For a quarter Of
century, the self elected champion Of
human bondage, he has been travelling
IN sympathy with the hell bound parr
ty OF Abolitionists. The first to suggest
Southern Confederacy, he has been the
fiercest prosecutor of Confederates. Brag
ging Of the terrible things he would do in
war, he skunk into n boom proof on the
strong side at the first whistle of balls
Preaching, writing and lecturing for
twenty five years that the negro was 4
brute, fit only for bondage, he owes his
Senatorial honors to negro influence.
PratIng all his life about honesty, be vot'
ed for the back salary steal and took his
share of the stolen money
Recreant to every trust, Gaithless to ev-
cry Obligation, and false to every profess
sion, the foul monster II his long career
Of wickedness has been true only to filth,
to falsehOod. to Islander, to blasphcmy, to
blackening character, to blackguardis.n,
and TO W G Brownlow.

An Item For Boy and Han.

We have probably all of us met with
instances in which q word hecdlessly
spoken against the reputation of female
has been magDifed by malicious minds
until the cloud has been dark enough to
overshadow her whole existence. To
those who are accustomed, not necessari-
ly from bad motives, but from thought
Iessness, to speak lightly of ladies, we
recommend these hints as worthy Of con.
sideration:
Never use a lady's name in improper
places, at an improper time, or in mixed
company. Never make assertions about
her that you think untrue, or illusions
that you think she herself would blush to
hear
When you meet with men who do not
scruple to make use of a woman name
in u wreckless or unpTincipled manner,
shun them They are the very worst
members IF the community men lot to
every sense OF honor, the best feelings Of
humanity. Many a good and worthy wo>
mans character has been forever ruined
and her heart broken by iie manufac>
tured bv some villain and repeated where
lC SHOn'Q not nave beehr ana IN tAe pres
euce of those whose little judgment could
not deter them from circulating the foul
report
a SANDER is soon Propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatOry to q woman's
character will fly on tine wind, and mag
Nifty as it circuiatcs, until its monstrous
weight brushes the poor, delenseless vic
tim. Respect the name of woman; your
mother and sisters are women, and as you
would have their fair names uutarnishe
end their lives unembitterei by the Sian
derer's tongue, heed the ills your words
may bring upon the mother, the sister or
the wife of some fellow creature.

To Be Hung.

In 1871 a young white man named
Early J. Eson shot and killed Edward
Lyles while he was walking with lady
south Of Memphis and near Horn Lake.
Jealousy was the cause. For this crime,
which had no shadow of paliating cir
cumstances about it, Eson was tried in
Memphis, found guilty. He appealed to
the Supreme Court, but that tribunal
could not do otherwise than sustain the
verdict of the jury below, and now the
unfortunate man larguishes in Jail at
Memphis under sentence Of death. BE

Fearful Tragedy.

From what it deems reliable authority
the Someryille Falcon learns that most
heart rending affair occurred near Bell
mont in Fayette county recently. A man
named Crittenden, a new conner in the
county, and his wife lef: their home on
the farm Of Richard Reeves, TO be gone
few hours. During their ebsence the
eldest son took down luaded pistol from
the mantle, but it was snatched from him
by his next younger brother who ran out
of the house with it in his hasd. The
other children followed and halted in the
yard in a single group. At this juncture
the boy with the pistol appeared at one
corner of the house and cried "Iook
| out, IN going to shoot" and at the same
time fired, the ball killing his oldest
brother, slightly wounding another in the
arm and his sister in the nose The feel
ings Of those parents on their return can
be better imagined than described The
