CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG. This home
raised star of the American stage and the
recipient OF unlimited plaudits abroad.
is performing in Louisville, Ky. The
Ledger, referring to her performance,
speaks as follows:
''The drst scene in which Miss Kellogg
appeared took the house by storm, and
as the play advanced, and the artless
simplicity, unexpected dramatic taste,
charming sweetness OF voice and man
ner-the evident attention to the nicer
points Of the charaoter-the true concep-
tion and impersonation of the role,
whinh were more aud more apparent at
every shift Of scene and circumstances,
told that the actress was not only beau
tiful American girl of superior vocal
puwers, but cultivated and thorough
art:s!e ns we'll. Comparisons are odious,
and we will otiustitute them, but We will
say that Miss Kellogg has demonstrated
that we need no longer rely upon the
old world to supply the American stage
with first class talent. She is pnrely
lima, raised in New York, aud wholly
educated at homo. She not only learned
her music, but her Trench, Italian and
German in America. When she FIRST
visited Europe, it was to appear as IN
occidental gem, as surprising 10 our cou-
sins over there as gratifying to our
pride. She never took lesson but in
America. She learned hor frat notes in
munic from tho oh colored 'mammn
who hummed the lullaby in her infant
ears, in tho old Palmetto State. When
scarcely able 20 sit erect upon the car
pet, she began to copy the music of her
nurse. In her cradle. she commenced
but study ard practice of the art OF
music and cultivate the gifts of nature.
She worked ceaselessly onward till. almost
unawsres, she burst upon the world. the
peer of any living woman. The secret
OF her success is arork. There are to-
day hundreds of as fine voices, and as
pure native talent in America, as ever
appeared before the foot.lights, if only
their possessors knew it. This they can
never know without patient, thorough
labor, such as Miss Kellogg perform ed :.
We are proud of her, and regard her as
q pioneer in American musical art.
Others will follow her with equal success.
There is no reason why We should not
supply our own stage with our own
artists, and ses the old world on fire
with the brilliance of American Opera.
we now take occasion to suggest to Miss
Kellogg in fact, to insist, That she at
once set about gathering the mnterial,
and next season come to rs again with
an American support, md give us the
initial American Opera-not that We do
not appreciate foreign talent, but that
we arc convinced OF the existence of an
abundance OF native genius, and want it
brought out. We have 10000, 900 peo-
pie, and ss yet but one Kellogg. There
are others about US, and We want to see
them developed.

The NEW PosrAaE LAw.-On the soth

The NEW POSTAGE LAw.-On the 30th
OF next June, the present postal law ex-
pires and the new one adopted by the
last Congress cbmes into force. This re.
quires postage paid on everything sent
through the mails, including newspaper
exchanges, or newsp pers in the County
or parish in whioh they are printed. This
must canee some new arrangements
about exchanges. 1t is impossible for
daily papers to pay postage to any extent
on sheir exchange list sent out from their
ofh,c, and it will result in severe prun-
dug OF all superauous papers. Therea are
several duly journals from centres OF iu.
telligence that must exchange with each
other, while there are others which, al
though desirable, are not Sc useful;
~hile there remain large list which are
rarely used. We believe that the next
Congress will be forced, by public OPT
nion. to modify this portion OF the new
postal laws. The local County papers
are 10 mean power in the land, aud this
compulsory postage law is unjust to them
and unfnir to the interests of their sub.
ecribers. II tho whole postage bill of
the United States press was paid by the
department. it would not approach the
tithe of the steal Of the Congressman of
their back pay, and they are precious
set to ipaugurate tax on the free oir-
culasion Of the newspapers OF the ooun-
try.

1t appears, however, that tho Attorney

Gov. Kellogg has addressed him sharp

Truth INDICATED. .-Tomb-s are
proverbially unreliable. and it must be
confessed that eulogies of the dead are
too often erratic. This fact finds illus
tration in the resolutions adopted by the
Republicans of this city, yesterday, con-
corning tho late General Candy. These
resolutions declare that the deceased,
while commanding the Virginia District,
administered his Office faithfully to the
rights of the Government, without
abrldglng any mans private right. This
encomium is in contradiction Of thet rue
history OF General Candy in Virginia.
Nearly every white man in Virginia will
bear testimony that General Candy most
clearly transcended his powera-inter-
fering with citizens and the State Go
vernment in manner unwarranted,
He ignored State authority and sustain
ed men in open violation OF the laws of
the Stste and the authority Of her Of
ticers. He nullifed the authority Of the
courts, and forced upon them notoriously
incompetent and dishonest men to take
charge of the funds Of the Counties and
tho State.
The gentlemen who ad opted the reso-
lutions might have done Justice to Gen.
Candy without offending in this manner.
General Candy was, we believe, good
meaning man-a good and brave mill
tary officer; but he was q man of deep
prejudices, with az unlimited conceit OF
his qualities as D judge OF Law and a civil
Ian; in neither of which was he remark
able except for his errors His eulogists
are both unwise and unjust in paying to
the dead an undoserved tribute that OF.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Locomotive and Seven Cars thrown

A Locomotive and Seven Cars thrown
from Trestie.
Early yesterday morning all accident oc-
cured on the railroad trestle at the foot OF
Spruce street by which an engine and three
cars were precii itated to the ground. dis
lance oftwenty-five or thirty feet. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt, though it was re-
ported at frs that both fireman and engi-
neer were killed.
1t seems that switch engine POS was TAX
ing long train of 33 cars across the trestle,
and number of these empty cars were de-
tsched from the others and pushed beyond
the junction Of the two 'restles, as The con-
ductor supposed, but in this he was mis-
taken, as these cars we're standing across
the junction of the two tracks, which came
together at a high point in the trestle, in
the shape of at" and they were left in
this position. EDgine No. 7, from the
Nashville and Decatur division came along,
with heavy train, and the engineer blew
the whistle for down brakes the moment he
came around the corner and saw the cars on
the track, but as there is quite descending
grade at this point, he was unable to stop
his train, the result icing that his train,
consstiug of nineteen cars, ran into
tie eleven cars standing on the
track, and locomotive No. Z and
seven fIeight cars were thrown
from the treslle, smashing them into total
wreck. The engineer and fireman, seeing
that collision could not be avoided, jumped
from The engine and lighted upon narrow
platform which had been constructed at one
side of the track or the use of the flagman.
The causes leading to the accident will be
thoroughly investigated.
The cars and engine belonged to the
Louisville and Nashville road, the officials
or employees of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga road being in no way responsible for
the accident.

A South NashvlIIe Grterance.

The verdict seems very general among
patrons that the action of the South Nash
vile Street Company announced yesterday
-sbolishiDg dollar tickets st five cents a
ride and requiring all hereafter to pay &c
who cannot afford 10c-is a rather small
business. We don't think it will "pay." A
man with dollar ticket in his fob, was
often tempted to ride, when if he had TO
pull out his pocket book he would thiLk
twice. Besides there was no need for pat
ent, high-pressure lock-boxes to protect
against fraud with these convenient dollar
tickets.
Are the managers of this line such old
fogies as not TO know that universal re-

wouldgive q nickel to save walk of square
