ANDREW JOHNSON.

The Tennessee Legislature did a
wise thing when it elected ex-Presi-
dent ANDY JOHNSON to the United
States Senate. He is man of indom-
table industry and energy, a man of
brains, man of nnAlnching courage,
and the man for the place to which he
has been chosen.
1t is true enough that in the past he
has done some things which he ought
not to have done, and left other things
undone which he ought to have done.
But the past is past, and its deeds are
dead and ought to be buried and for
gotten. The present is what we are
living in; its events we are contending
with; and its issues are to be decided
for our veal or woe. To battle for us
in the high places, to contend for our
rights in the strong hold ofpower, we
need our wisest and our best. ANDY
JOHNSON is one of these. Again we
assert that the Tennessee Legislature
did a good thing when it returned him
to the field of his old fighting and tri.
umphs.

THE AUTHOR OF "BEAUTTFUL
SNOW"

Some of the school girls are racking
their dear little brains as to the author
ship of ''The Beautiful Snow" When
they settle the question satisfactorily,
we would be glad to know the result.
For the benefit of the young ladies, we
will state that "The Beautiful Snow
was written by Charles Faxon, former
ly editor of the Jefersonian, at Clarks-
vile, Tenn. Louisville Ledger.
The Ledger is mistaken. The poem
in question was written, not by CHARLES
FAxoN, but by his younger brother
HENRY, who died during the war in
the military hospital at Washington
City. 1t was written and originally
published about the year 1852, in the
Buffalo Republic, of which young FAxoN
was the local editor. Before his own
death, CHARLES FAxoN, who wanted
to establish his dead brothers title to
the authorship of Beautiful Snow, /"
which had been stolen and claimed by
a rhyming fellow at the East named
WATSON, busted himself In hunting up
evidence that the poem had appeared
in print prior to 1862, at which time
WATSON said he wrote it and it first
appeared in print. We furnished
CHARLIE a copy OF "Ihe True Den,ocra-'
cy," paper we published in 1856, in
which we had printed the poem, in Oc-
tober of that year, on the occasion Of
the first fall of snow, and credited it to
the Buffalo paper. CHARLIE FAxoN
died, however, before he could arrange
his evidence for publication, and We
suppose that in a few years WATsoN
will be in undisputed possession of the
poem he stole from a dead man.

The rumor is doubtless correct, but
our Hopkinsville gossip is incorrect
about the color. White is worn for
mourning by the Chinese. When last
we saw the charming young lady re-
ferred to, she wore a shirt of snowy
whiteness, and we were astonished at
the unusual sight; but then We had
not heard of the death of the Emperor

WE are grieved to learn of the
death of HATTIE, the second daughter
of our venerable friend and olden an
tagonist, Mr.. A. NJ. CAsEBoLT, editor
of the Msacs, Cape Girardeau, Mo. She
was a young lady of whom We have
many pleasant recollections. Mild,
sweet and lovely in disposition and
manners, affable to all, and modest as
the violet, she was a favorite with the
youth of her acquaintance. A fast
friend, and a lsving and dutiful daugh-
ter and wife, her loss creates a vacuum
not alone in the domestic, but also in
the social circle. We condole with
her afflicted parents and husband, and,
as she was a pious and exemplary
member of the church, confidently ex-
hort them to look to heaven with the
eye of faith, for there We know theil
lost one is with the angels.
