Correspondence Union and Dispatch.


SPRING HILL, April 29th.-The 9th
was the day appointed for Joe Williams to
address his colored friends at this place.
The Colored people came in from all parts
of the country by crowds They seemed
evidently tired Of the calumnies and mis-
representations of loyal leagues, and mani
tested some eagerness to hear some whole
some Conservative doctrine. For good
reasons assigned Williams did not speak.


At the request of the citizens DIR. A. c.
White consented to address the crowd.
His speech was sensible and to the point
He showed the Conservative whites were
better friends to the colored race than the
Radicals possibly could be- The Radical
idea of confseating lands in this State he
declared was a fallacy. He hoped his
colored friends would not be deluded- that
it was a bait held out by designing men for
the retention of powers and thespoils ofoffice
The Doctor spoke at some length, and was
listened to with interest


Mr.. John Bond was then called for. He
replied that he had not expected to speak,
and only did 80 in answer TO their calls
He was not, and never expected to be, a
politician; yet he did look with feel
ings of the deepest interest on the agita-
ton of the issues now before the country
an agitation, important alike to the
friends of liberty and the fawning parasites
OF power-issues whose settlement must
decide whether the heritage of our fathers
will be squandered and the fair form
of Liberty be banished from the land
forever. Mr.. Bond said there we're but
two parties in Tennessee, Radical and Con-
servative. The only question for the
colored voter to decide is that of interest
Their interest," he thought, is identified
with The Conservative party. He then read
the platform adopted by the convention at
Nashville, commenting at some length on
each one Of its provisions. Are not these
principles, he asked, broad enough TO cover
all the blacks desired. Here Mr.. Bond
drew graphic comparison between the
Conservative and Radical organization,
giving the latter the full benefit of the
present system of taxation, and the selfish
motives that induced the enfranchisement
of the negro He declared, in conclusion.
that the two races must live together unlike
the patrisrchs Of old, whose great posses
slons forced them 10 part. Our substance
will not pay the expense of a separation.
Since We must live together, for the peace
and harmony Of the country let us unite
upon a platform of principles that will
best secure equal aud exact Justice to all >"
The tone and candor of these remarks had
their weight and influence. A more order
ly crowd l have never seen. Radicalism
has bnt little foolhola here.

Yankee skill is pcrpctually at work de-
vising and perfec,ing ingenious contrivances,
both useful and ornamental =. Ta..;;a :.2
world maryels and stands aghast with ad-
miring awe; and when it is supposed they
have reached the acme of their sublime in
venting power, the entire universe is again
startled with the announcement that the in
domitable Yankee has discovered something
thoussnd.fold more wonderful, than was
ever before dreamt Of in mans philosophy.
The latest invention Of this kind that is our
province to chronicle is Of the nature Of
piece of marine machinery, but which will
obviate the necessity of steam, and will at
the same time do away with the masts, thus
discarding the sail, proper and yet receiving
the motive power from four fans Or sails Of
canvas; in short, the invention is nothing
more nor less than windmill ship,
machinery Of which is very simple and
easily kept in repair


An upright tower, seven feet in height
from the deck, composed of wood and hol-
low in the middle after III, fashion of pump,
contains an iron rod, which is attached to a
revolving head on the top Of the tower, and
running through this pump or tower to q
cross bar resting across the keelson, where,
by the means Of two mitre wheels working
a. direct angels, direct acting shaft is made
to turn an ordinary shaft is made to turn an
ordinar; propelling wheel. The rod is con-
fined to its proper place in the centre Of the
tower by means of journals. Gaping the
tower are two mitre wheels working on the
revolving head, and through this head passes
the counter shaft to which the windmill is
attached. These fans furnish the motive
power, and are composed Of four oak frames
in the form of a common window frame, the
space in the centre being occupied with
canvas, working an iron rod, which by means
of halyards leading to the decks can be reef.
ed at will. A reversing motion is obtained
from double wheel on the propelling shaft
and working ty clutch leading aft to the
coc's-pit. An iron rod leading from the
| revolving head to the deck, and held there
by set screw, and working on segment Of
circle on the deck, enables the navigator
to lay her as close to the wi nd as any ordi.
nary sailing vessel


The credit Of this invention belongs to
Captain John Powell, native Of Brooklyn,
who is now engaged in building small YES
sci, about the size of the famous Red White
and Blue, to be worked on this novel prin.
ciple, in which he proposes taking passage
for Europe about the middle of June next.
The diminsions of his vessel will be as fol.
lows: Length, twenty-six. feet; breadth Of
beam, seven feet and depth Of hold three
feet. In the case Of storms he can easil.
reef or take in his sails, and heave his YES.

confident that he can make between six and
seven knots per hour in an ordinary breeze

that he whipped and beat it without mercy

wantonncss could suggest, first whipping it
with leather strap, then with strip Of
board, until it was not able to walk, and
then put in down in the cellar where it laid
down in the damp and chilly air and went
to sleep. Then he removed it from tho eel
lar, took it out doors and plunged its head in
cold water, and compelled it to remain out
Of doors until its feet were frozen. He then
took it into the House, hung it up by means
Of strap passed around its body, and held
Goals Of fire on a shovel under hisfect. Af'
ter torturing it in this manner for while,
he took It down and made it walk the floor
backward and forward, occasionally striking
it with plated leather horse-whip, until it
fell at last exhausted and scnseless on the
