A correspondent writing from Green
vile, Tennessee, gives some graphic
descriptions of the scene at Mr.. John
sons funeral and Interpretations made
for it. Of the decorations he says;
"Mr. Johnson's Office was drapcd SO
heavily that it was almost hidden from
view. Within were his books and pa
pers where he left them. On the table
where he wrote were copies Of several
papers, his spectacles, gold pen, q

Welles, ex-Secretary Of the Navy,
with an inscription showing that it
was presented to him by the author.
His library is very large and bears ev-
idence of being selected with great
care. Among other works relating to
his OWN POLITICAL CAREER
Are volumes containing complete
record Of the pardons granted by him
as President Of the United States, and
his veto messages. At the corner, op-
posite the courthouse, a sign has been
erected reading: Leading to Andy
Johnson's tailor-shop." This shop is a
small building Of q single story, about
twenty feet by sixteen, and is still in

the door is the old sign, board four

4 REvoLUT1oNARY SERMON,


was preached on the eve Of the Battle
Of Brandywine, September 10, TIT, IN
the presence of Washington and his
army, at Chadd's Ford:
..They that take the sword shall perish BY the
sword"
SOLDIERS AND CoUNrRYNEN: We have
met this evening perhaps for the last
time. We have shared the toll Of the
march, the peril Of the fight, the dis.
may Of the retreat-alike we have en-
dured the toll and hunger, the contu-
mely Of the internal foe, the outrage
Of the foreign oppressor. We have
night after night beside the same
campfire, shared the same rough sol
dier's fare; we have together heard
the roll Of the reveille which called us
to duty, or the beat of the tattoo
which gave signal for the hardy sleep
of the soldier with the earth for his
bed, and the knapsack for his pillow
And now, soldiers and brethren, we
have met in the peaceful valley, on the
eve Of battle, while the sunlight is dy-
ing away beyond yonder heights, the
sunlight that tomorrow morn will
glimmer on scenes Of blood. We have
met amid the whitening tents Of our
encampment; in times Of terror and
gloom have we gathered together.
Grant that it may not be for the last
time. Brethren, does not the awful
voice Of nature seem to echo the sym
pathies Of this hour? The flag Of
your country droops heavily from yon-
der staff-the breeze has died away
along the plain Of Chad's Ford-the
plain that spreads before us glistcn.
ing in sunlight-the heights Of the
Brandywinc rise gloomy and grand
beyond the waters Of yonder steam,
and all nature holds pause Of sol
emn silence, on the eve Of the blood
shed and strife Of the morrow.
"They that take the sword shall
perish by the sword"
And have they not taken the sword?
Let the desolate plain, the blood-sod-
den valley, the sacked village and the
rav:shcd town answcr-lct the starv-
ing mother, with the babe clingin- Ia
her withcrcd breast, that can afford
no sustcnancr, Let her answer. with
the dcath-rattlc mingling with the
murmuring tones that mark the last
struggle for lifc-lct the dying moth
or and her babe answer. 1t was but
day past, and our land slept in the
light of peace. War was not here
wrong was not here Fraud and
woe and misery, and want, dwelt not
among us. From the eternal solitude
Of the woods arose the blue smoke Of
the settlers cabin, and golden fields Of
corn peered forth from amid the waste
Of the wilderness, and the glad music
Of human voices awoke the silence Of
the forest. Now! God Of Mercy, be-
hold the change! Under the shadow
Of a pretext-under the sanctity Of
the name Of God, invoking the redeem
er to their aid, do these foreign hire
lings slay our people! They throng
our towns, they darken our plains,
and now they encompass our posts on
the lonely plain Of Chadd's Ford.
"They that take the sword shall per-
ish by the sword"
Brethren, think me not unworthy of
belief when ! tell you that the doom oil
the British is near! Think me not
vain when ! tell you, though they
now enshroud us, | see gathering
thick and fast, the darker cloud, and
the blacker storm Of Divine retribu-
ton!

to an appeal through REGISTER, have

The Mulnar Rao Trial.

From recent British exchanges it ap.
pears that the result of the trial of Null
mar Rao, the Guicowar Of Baroda, caused
no small amount of anxiety in Great
Britain, and serious embarrassment to
tho British authorities in India. 1t was
supposed that before placing a native
prince on trial on the odious charge of
attempted poisoning, there was abundant
evidence to bring home the accusation.
But the actual charge was serious mis-
carriage. 1t has shaken the native belief
not only in the discrimination but in the
power OF the British. Before the COM
missioners sat upon the matter at Baroda,
the sympathy of the native princes was
strongly in favor of the Guicowar, and
they watched the proceedings with the
greatest interest. They were not slow to
interpret the conclusion as victory, not
for the innocence Of the accused-the
commission disagreed on the verdict
but as a triumph Of the Guicowar in q
plot for his overthrow on the part Of the
British.
1t seems that Colonel Phayre, the res.
ident at Baroda, was not upon the best Of
terms with the Guicowar, that quarrels
between them were constant. and that at
the very time Colonel Phayro accused
the Guicowar of conspiring to remove him
by poison, the latter had sent message
to the Viceroy asking for the removal OF
the resident. All this was suspicious,
and should have induced Lord North
brook to proceed with caution in acting
upon the allegations Of Colonel Phayre.
No one could know better than the Vice.
roy that native ruler is constantly sur
rounded with persons ever ready to Sian.
der the prince who feeds them if they
think anything is to be gained by false
hood. The Guicowar had more than the
ordinary number Of disguised enemies, as
he was far from being model governor,
and many ofhis subjects would doubtless
be glad of his removal on any terms. The
trial disclosed that the principal witness,
on which the charge Of conspiracy to poi
soc was based, was Bhon Poonikir, vile
spy, who failed almost entirely to connect
the charge with tie accused.
