NENA SAHIB is the title Of Dhundoo
Punt, a Hindoo chieftain and leader IN
the Sepoy rebellion of 1857. If still
alive, as the telegraph reports, he must
now be about fifty years old. His
grievance against the British was that,
refusing to recognize him as the sue
cessor Of Bajee Row, who had adopted
him, they cut off his pension of $780,
900 year. This occurred in 1851,
but on the opening of the Sepoy
mutiny, six years later, he was ap-
parently on the best of terms
with the British, completely deceiving
them, until he turned against them
with the more effect, and is accused of
fearful atrocities. Finally defeated by
HavelOck, the Nena escaped, and his
life has since been a charmed one. He
had more opportunities for reading his
own obituary than any man that ever
lived. The most stupendous rewards,
offered by the British at various times,
have failed to unearth him, dead or
alive. For the past dozen years, his
very existence has been a hopeless rid
die, like the authorship of Junius.

The creditors of the company will, prob

Now that the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN is about to loose political control
of the Nashville mechanics who in

to the colored folks tonight, it viii be
IN order for him to explain the part he
took in organizing the Freedman's

We simply stated what was the gen.
eral understanding-that Maynard s
speech was intended for a negro
auditory. Otherwise the meeting
would not have been called, originally,
at Liberty Hall. As it turned out, at
least four-fifths of the men who heard
him at the courthouse were colored.
The UNION AND AMERICAN has
never claimed political CONTROL over
the mechanics of Nashville. We are
satisfied to know that, as a class, they
have the intelligence to vote invariably
against the Republican party, and
need no suggestions from us on that
score.

THE Know-Nothing tendencies of
Radicalism is shown in the snap judg-
ment by one of Kellogg's attorneys at
New Orleans, striking from the regis
tration lists, on the very eve of the cleo
ton, four thousand citizens of foreign
birth. These fellows would not dare
disfranchise that number of negroes;
but, unless our adopted citizens COM
sent to become political slaves like the
negroes, they are summarily deprived
of their rights and franchises. There
is abundance of Radical legislation for
the negro, bpt none for the protection
of immigrant citizens from these polit-
