RELEASE OF A PRISONER.
The Secretary of State in a MOralizing
Need.

Need.
Now and then touch Of sentiment will,
in spite of red tape and stiited Journalism,
soften the dry record Of official life. Yes
terday fond mother-one of the widowed
matrons of Obion-who had long sorroWed
over the incarceration of her first born, in
the States prison, ard had often sued for his
pardon at the Governors table, stood with
glad heart, in the front room of the Capitol,
and By her side stood also the long lost SOD,
now restored to honorable attire, aud burn
ing with Impotence to go forth and enjoy
the full benefits of Executive clemency. A
mere youthful irdiscretion-the inadvertent
appropriation of few dollars worth of a
neighbours property-had been the superin
ducing cause of the young mans lapse of
freedom. In the absence Of the Governor,
our gentle hammered and always benevolent
Secretary of State, touched by a natural
sympathy with any of Obion's people when
ever found scattered or dispersed, improved
the opportunity, TO bestow a timely moral
lecture. "George," said he, " the Governor
has released you, and now permits you to
return to your home, with your good moth
er whose heart has been made to bleed for
your error and your suffering, and who now
looks hopefully into the future to see you
become an honest and industrious man,
kind to her and just to your IeiphbOrs.
You have been permitted to take of your
stripes which were the badge of your in
fanny, and the State now again gives you
the opportunity to tecome good citizen.
Remember, as you go into the world the
teach ngs of that Good Book, which tells
you to honor your father and mother, and
which commands "Thou shalt not steal. !"
When l go back to Obion want to hear
that you turned your back upon all your old
associates, and are erdesvoring by your
good conduct to make your neighbors FORGET
that you we're ever here. You have my
prayers, George, and bear in mind as you
go, that

First CoIored Rap,fst Church.

The laying of the cornerstone of the
First Colored Baptist Church, on Spruce
street yesterday, by the Grand Lodge (coi-
ored) Free and Accepted Masons of Ten
nessee, was witnessed by an immense con-
course of colored people. 1t was estimated
that there were between four and FIVE thou
sand on the grounds. A large number of
representatives from various towns in the
State, also from Memphis, Chattanooga and
Knoxville, took part in the ceremonies,
which were opened by singing an appropri-
ate hymn and prayer by Rev. Randall Ven-
able, of Edgefield.
Then followed the; solemn cel emony of
laying the cornerstone, which was con-
Quoted according to the form Of the order.
An address was then delivered by Rev. W.
r. Reeves, If. D., which was listened to
with attention by the large audience.
More singing followed, after which the
procession of Masons, with band at their
head. marched through several of the most
prominent thoroughfares in the city, thence
to their hall, on Cedar street, where they
dispersed. We have seldom sean such an
immense crowd OF colored people at one
ga herring before. The best of order pre-
vailed throughout the exercises.
TDis church when finished will be occu-
pied by the congregation of the First Col
ored Baptist Church, of which Rev. n. G..
Merry is Pastor. They now hold their
meetings in church on Pearl street, which
we understand is not rear large enough to
hold the congregation.
