prickly sensation Of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet

every remedy. Several of the above

y correspondent at Constantinople
telegraphs the following: "a council,
over which the sultan presided, was
held yesterday. / am informed that
a general feeling was expressed, and
by no one more strongly than the sui
tan, in favor of making an effort to
put an end to the war, in which enough
had been done on both sides for glory,
and which. if continued, must infict
lasting misery upon the two empires.
1t was felt, however, that at present
sufficient reliance cannot be placed
upon the declarations of Russia and
that even while seeking to obtain an
honorable peace preparations for pro-
longed resistance must be vigorously
carried on. / am told subject to this
determination to prosecute the war if an
honorable peace cannot be maintained,
it was resolved that the time for endeav-
oring to put an end to the war had ar
rived Ifmy information is correct, the
grand vizier will to-day inform the
British ambassador of the decision of
the council, in the hope that England
will aid in putting a stop to the war,
which greatly damages her own trade
and threatens to compromise her best
interests. Special dispatches say that
Count Andrassy, the Austro-Hungar-
ian premier, has declared his belief that
Scrvia will not break the peace"

The State Debt and Extra Session.

The State Debt and Extra Session.
Morristown Gazette: The debt, with
accumulated interest, is perhaps little,
if any, short of $50, 000,00 The
holders of our bonds offer themselves
to forgive $4,000, 000 of this debt if
we will properly secure the remainder.
The offer comes in such way, that it
viii not smack Of reputation IN the
least, to accept it. The most fastidi-
Gus hater of Reputation with Its evil
consequences and dishonUrable results.
cannot object to this mode Of reducing
the State debt. We are certain that
if the misrepresentation are indeed OBJ
pressed with their burdens-could be
called together at Nashville on the 9TH
day Of December in one grand council,
they would accept the magnanimous
proposition thus made them by accla-
nation, and at once, and be ready to
return to their labOrs with renewed
energy. What their one hundred
representatives, in whose hands the
momentoes business is placed, will do,
may possibly be question not so cas-
/ lily solved.
| Maury Sentinel: Governor Porter
has issued his proclamation calling the
Legislature together the 9th of Deem
Der, to arrange the State debt. This
is exactly what Gov. Porter ought to
have done some time since, for the
people could gain nothing by delay in
this important matter. The interest
on our bonded debt was accommodating
daily, and no means could be taken tC
relieve the credit Of the State. We
hope the Legislature will go to Nash
vile and promptly arrange the public
debt and come home. The proposition
of compromising the States indebted
ness, which comes from the bondhold
ers, is fair and equitable enough, and
should be accepted. Let them remem
Der, however, that whatever they do
that anything which even has the taint
of reputation, will never be tolerated
by the people. The present Legisla
ture was elected by the people not Il
repudiate its honest Indebtedness
They, at the ballot-box, have said tha
the debt must be paid.

The Methodists from Wesley's
time down. the Congregations
alists, Baptists and other dis
senters from her thirty-nine
articles of faith, troubled her
for years, but her grand strug>
gle does not arise from out
side opposition but from inter-
nal dissension. If the Church
Of England considered her po-
sition stronger on one point
than another it was in her at
titude as a church with a ritu-
al. q priesthood, and a print
tive origin unspotted "by the
declensionss OF popery." yet
a church opposed to the
pagan elements reintroduced
to the people of ONE in the
shape Of saint and virgin wor>
ship. Unluckily it turns out,
as a result of experience, that
the Church of England, in
stead of being a way of escape
from Romanism to primitive
worship and belief, is a bridge
by which weak Protestants
find the way to the very fold
for safety from which the
Church of England was to be
a sort Of insurance society.
backed by state power and
national support. This pow
er and this support are the
origin of all the trouble.
Those who pay rule, but the
church people, while welcom>
ing the state pay, do not like
state rule within their sane
tuaries. They wish to be sup
ported by the state, with the
power of living, praying and
preaching as they themselves
please. To aid in securing this
position ofindependent action,
combined with dependent
maintenance, they claim for
the clergy of their church the
same prlestly authority, that,
in the struggle of Centuries,
their rival Of Rome long ago
gained. They claimed that
"the real presence" is at the
altar, and as it was brought
there by the priests hands,
the claim Of the priest to a
wider scope and a stronger
power rests on weighty au-
thority. But the dissenterS,
who disliked the church be-
fore, are in arms of opposi-
ton against the new rtrines,
borrowed unscrupulously from
the old treasury Of Rome.
Within the church itself there
are also bitter haters of the
ritualists, who, while belong
ing to a church that calls it
self the most popular of
Rome's enemies, are seeking
to expel the Protestant as
title of their anti-Romish in
stitution. The Church Of Eng
land has members who, we'll
loving their own church. re-
srect and esteem other church
es as members Of the one
church of which Christ is the
head. There are others, the
Evangelicals, a bigoted but ar
dent and enterprising section
these and the minor subdi-
visions in the state church,
concur in opposing the ritu-
alistic pretensions. Their OPP
position the ritualists call per-

to use as much holy upholste~
ny and indulge in as much
genuAection and crnciforma-
ton as they please. But the

We beg to invite the special attention
of Dealers and Consumers to these
PAINTS. They are manufactured from
the very BEST AND CHOICEST PIG
MENTS, and mixed or tllinned with only
STRICTLY PURE Linseed Oil and Tur-
pentine, and they cannot be eXcelled in
covering capacity, durability, tineness and
beauty of finish. They will neither
chalk, fake, or peel off; and work with
perfect freedom under the brush. The
weigh from Is to 16 lbs per gallon, which,
ofitself, POSITIVELY demonstrates their
purity and superiority.
Tho various compounds known in IT,"
market as Chemical Paints, contain only
abour so per cent. of Paint; the balal &c
is water introduced into the same by the
use of an alkali, to combine it. The
last mentioned Paints, so-caIIed, only
weigh from 9 to 10 TBS per gallon, which
we think certainly proves their lack of
capacity or body. When water is mix
ed with Paint, it not only destroys it's
body, but, to a very great extent, it's adj
hesivehess, which all practical men know
is of the highest importance to preserve,
in order to make durable Paint.
