SHOOTING REBEL BRIDGE BURNERS.
As TO tho shooting of men after
they had surrendered, these are the
facts: The rebels had been burning
the railroad bridges and tearing up
the track to keep the Union troops
from getting TO the front. They
wero trying to throw trains off the
track, and weaken bridges so as to
lot whole regiments down into cuts,
chasms, and rivers, hoping thus to
kill them. Well. sent Lieutenant

party is that have no faith in it,
TcheersI and I have no faith in the
old rebel element whom l have long
feared would come to the front, and
whom now know and eldre come,
and whose coming has made my
way clear and my course OF duty
plain. Great applause. Seeing
these men again at the head of the
party, and seeing the defiance of the
men who last held Office in the
National Government under the
Democratic party, make things plain
enough. Among the last Democratic
officers of any note were Floyd and
Jake Thompson, the Democratic Sec
rotary of War and Secretary of the
Interior. They stole from the Gov
eminent they were sworn to serve,
to help the rebellion raised to destroy
it; and beside their crimes and
their corruptions all that it
is charged against the Republican
officials, admit it all to be true even,
sinks into insignificance.
Why, old jake Thompson, encour-
aged by the defiance of Ben Hill in
his speech, went down to Washing
ton a few months ago, and like a
braggart demanded investigation,
pompously saying that he would
waive the legal point of time. He
! went down there blowing, and got
sued-for the money that he stole for
the rebels. Great cheering. Ifold
Floyd were alive, he, too, probably
would go down there, under the pro-
| lection of the rebel shadow of Ben
Hill, and demand investigation.
Laughter. But, like the child,
covered with the curse of the crime
against Abraham Lincoln, he also
had the good sense to die. He was
at Fort Donelson with the other

skipped out early, so as to be safe. Ii
he had stood his ground like brave
man, he would probably have had
the good fortune to die earlier.

| could steal for the Confederacy, but
he wasn't willing to die for it.
Laughter.
1t is his fault, gentlemen, and not
mine, that his memory is not to be
spoken of with moro respect. This
Thompson and this Floyd were the
last of the Democratic rulers, and
they represented the domination
of the South in the Democracy then

man writing to us from McAlister's
Cross Roads, in this county. under date
of 18th inst, gives us some interesting
facts in regard to Mrs. Elizabeth Gill
lum, of this county restored TO her eye
sight. Mother Gillum, as she is af-
iectionately termed, was blind in one
eye for eighteen years, and has been
blind in both eyes for twelve years.
Now she is 6S years of age, her sight
has returned to the eye in which she
has been blind for eighteen years, and
she is now able to attend so all her
household duties. She was born and
raised in Davidson county, Tenn, and
after her marrisge to Mr.. John Gill
lnm, she resided in Stewart county for
twenty years. Since the death of her
husband, she has been kindlycared for
by her only child, Mr.: j. r.. Gil
lum. This will be joyful news to her
many friends in this and adjoining
counties, where she has relatives and
many friends. She attributes the res
toration of her sight to the use of DR..
Radcliffe's Seven Seals of Golden
Wonders.

mously voted:
WHEREAS, Death has suddenly deprived
us of the society of our friend, and brother
practitioner, DIR. w. b. WILLIAMS, we, his
associates in the Profession, desire to ex-
press our feelings AS affected by this solemn
visitation, and our sympathy with those
who are more nearly affected by it even
than ourselves. Therefore, resolved
LIST. That We deeply deplore the vista
tion which has suddenly deprived us of the
presence of our professional brother, re-
cognising in this event the loss from our
number of a learned physician, and esti-
mable gentleman and valued citizen of
one whose high professional abilities will
not readily be replaced, either for those
who were the objects of his care, or for
those of his professional associates who
SO frequently appreciated the value of his
Judgment in consultation.
I'd. That we sincerely condole with his
bereaved family in their sudden affection,
and entreat them to derive such comfort as
is possible from the tenderest symipathies
OF his brethren in the profession.

lutions to the widow of DIR. WILLIAMS, and

GREAT REVIVAL OF RELIGION

Church-resolved to commence u
series of morning and evening meet

Presbyterian Churches. At first the
religious feeling and interest in the
Church and in the community were
slight and not encouraging. The faith

well-doing," but pressed forward in
the direction they had started, feeling
assured of reaching the point of prom
AGC OCAOAC u great AullCs LAG uCClinES
were kept up throughout Christmas
week-interest increasing and congre-
cations constantly enlarging. The first
week in the New Year the meeting as
sImed large proportions-the Church
was crowded nightly-all classes of
people were serious and seeking the
path that led to life everlasting
seekers crowded the altar-sonls were
converted, and shouts of new born
souls" were nightly and daily heard in
the Camp of the Great King. The
work still goes bravely on-no tagging,
but interest increasing-and a deep
and pungent religious feeling has found
its way into every household in the
community. The elder members of
the Churches say that such powerful
and glorious religious revival has not
been witnessed in Russellville during
the past thirty or forty years.
Up to present writing eighty-seven
persons, embracing many prominent
and influential citizens, have made
profession of religion" The meet
ing was in progress at last account,
with larger crowds in attendance than
usual.

The vocal and instrumental concert
at the Female Academy, on Friday,
2lst inst, under the direction of Misses
Ella Hall and L. Winston, was not so
well attended, its merits deserved, but
all who were present speak in the very
highest praise of the entire perform
ance. Misses Hall and Winston we're
assisted by DR.. d. F. Wright and Prof.
r. A. Jackson, both gentlemen of great
musical skill, who were aided by sew
eral young ladies of fine musical tai
ent, who are students at the Academy
Nearly the centre programme was made
up of scientific musical selections,
which were faithfully executed. The
singing was as good as any whose notes
ever rang through the spacious hall of
the Academy. We believe repetition
of this programme, with little more
of comic selections, would draw a large
crowd.
