A, First Pennsylvania Artillery, fell from the third story of Oksinoeh’s hotel (Gth Word House), Harrisburg, and was al most instantly killed. It is supposed that he arose in his sleep, and walked out to a hal cony, from which he fell. Deceased was a highly respected citizen of Shiromanstown, this county, and his sudden death, when about returning to his homo, will bo deeply lamented by a largo circle of friends. ICT* Patronize homo institutions, homo manufactures, homo newspapers, and home itself. Don’t run off after foreign goods just because they are foreign, and when you can buy just as well and cheaply at home. Sell your wool, your butter—all you have to sell to homo purchasers. Patronize your own mechanics, craftsmen and professional men, and don’t ho a hanger-on and dependent on some other town. Take your home newspa per if it isn’t as largo ns the far-off Weekly Steam Roarer, or ns able as the Daily Pando ra s box. It at least informs you of homo interests, in which you are immediately in terested. and by giving it a liberal support you enable the editor to give you a better paper. In short, spend your money at homo and assist in building up your town nud sec tion of country. If you don’t patronize home institutions don’t grumble if homo institu tions don't patronize jou. Abolition editors are industrious and unscrupulous in their efforts to deceive the people into the belief that Gen. Sherman has avowed his determination to vote for their negro-sujj'rage candidate for* Governor. He has done po such thing, although besieged time and again to do so. ho has always out flanked the politicians and up to this hour remains provokingly non-committal, and not having said anything against Gen. Ccx, he has not said openly nor by fair inference that ho would vote for him, nor advised any body else to do so ! If any friend of Go’n. Cox can show us when or where Gen. Sher man said ho would vote for the negro-suffrage candidate, we will also vote for him if we live until the election day. So says the Ohio Statesman. ItT” Emerson Etheridge was nrreated in Kentucky because ho criticised the acts of euoh characters as Brownlow.and the charge IS “ seditious language.” Heaven help our country if we are to be gobbled up. impris oned, and tried by Court Martial for disap proving of the rascality of those in power.— There is one noble characteristic, however, of the American people, and that is that we have plenty of men who would rather die than be deprived of their constitutional rights. ' Tho colored troops at Savannah, Ga., mutinied a few days ago, but were soon squelehed-. “WHERE DO THE! FIN'D THE AUTHORITY 2” Many of our Democratic cotcmpora 'ios, af ter recounting tho many acts of usu :patioa and tyranny resorted to by Secretary Stan ton and tlio military gentlemen under, him, arc in tho habit of asking “ whoro do they find tho authority for doinjf these things ?” This question has been propounded eo often, that really it is becoming throad-baro. — Whoro do they get authority, indeed f No wlidro. Stanton and his minions have nev er protended to ho governed by either tho law, tho Constitution or decency. Thoy sot all at defiance. When he or his accomplices in crimo desire to punish a political cnomy, they'at brico seize KK and cast Kill into prison. If ho has, money enough to buy himself out, ho is released ; if not, ho re mains in prison, perhaps to dio.» When an election is to be carried, all that is necessary to defeat tho Democratic oandidatos'is to place thorn and thoir prominent friends un der a military guard until after tho day of voting. Nothing is more simple, nothing more efficacious. Again, when a “loyal thief” is bought in tho very act of pilfering from tho government, all ho has to do to got out of tho scrape is to givo tho “ Loyal League” pass word, and ho is at once set at liberty. It is generally understood, howev er, that ho is to givo a portion of his stolon treasure to some negro-equality attorney. Thousands of these ■patriotic gentlemen —' many of them mere pettifogers—appear to have an understanding with the Departments at Washington that they are to be permitted to got thieves out of difficulties, and to divide the spoils with them. Lot a man get into a scrape with tho Government, and employ ns his attorney one who is a Democrat, and his ease is hopeless and his punishment sure ; let him dismiss his Democratic attorney and employ a negro-equality pettifogger, and he 4s sure to get off scot free. So wo go. But, these are small offenses in comparison with others that might bo mentioned. Tho suppression of newspapers, tho seizure of private properties, the confiscation of estates, military courts to try civilians, tho schooling of thousands of negroes at the public expense,« tho feeding of tons of thousands of others from Undo Sam’s commissary stores, tho per mission given to “ loyal thieves” to appro priate to themselves rich cotton lands that belonged to private individuals, tho hanging of men and women wilhout proper trial, the attempt to put mischief into tho heads of the negro population of tho South—these and other things that we might enumerate are orimos—unlawful, uneonstitntional, wicked, devilish crimes, that have been porpotrated with unblushing audacity. Where dues Stanton find authority for doing these things T ask tho people and the press all over tho country. Authority! Why ho laughs when ho sees tho question asked, ilo is above the law, above tho Constitution, in his own opinion, and he acts on that assumption. Perhaps never in the history of nations, was there such utter contempt shown for law and right, as has been evinced by our rulers for the four last years. Members of Congress too who had taken an oath to support tho Constitution, admitted in their speeches that they had violated that instrument in its most fundamental features. Tho “ irrepressible conflict” started by Seward, had to go on, even if tho plain provisions of the Constilu -tion-had-to-suffer. *JSSC& Wax. B. Butler, Secretary. Let us not then, when wo speak of our viola ted rights ask the question where the viola tors find authority for their devilish acts, but lot us speak of them as usurpers and tyrants, 'and denounce them ns such. The people have lost nil patience with these potty op pressors. So long ns the war continued every outrage, every violation of law rnd the Con stitution, and every robbery was covered up under the flimsy plea of “ military necessity.” however, the Jacobins have not even that lame excuse, but yet they go on as here tofore, and put law, right and justice at de fiance. Men are still arrested without war rant and without an accuser—private prop erty ip seized—presses are suppressed—the right of free speech is denied—military up starts dictate to the people their rule of con duct, and “ loyal thieves” are about ns ava ricious ns formerly. Wo have neither law or Constitution to look to—everything bends to fanaticism and negro-oquality. How long must we suffer under this wretched rule ! Recqnstuction. —The old'proverb, that it is easy to pull down, but hard to build up, is being verified by the National Administra tion. The fanatical party it represents work ed industriously for nearly forty years to break up the Union. They succeeded at last by pushing a conflict of technical ideas into a civil war. In that war they prevailed over inferior numbers and resources. The- van quished party have laid down their arms and accepted peace. The natural consequence of that surrender should be a restoration of the rebellious States ”in statu quo ante hel ium,” without any interference of the Feder al authorities. But the dominent party in the Government will not allow the States of the South to swing back voluntarily into their old relations to the Central Government, and in-their efforts to >econstrucl ’ the Union, or a new founda tion that shall he accordant to their peculiar views and wishes, they are likely to prevent the re-establishment of the old Union, as well •as the creation of any other that will be sat isfactory and enduring. It isjperfoctly cer tain that the politicians now in power at Washington, never would have been able to perform the work of these wise and just men who founded the present Government, and what they are not competent to have origi nally formed, they surely are not qualified to improve. Therefore, the less they do in tho business of “reconstruction,” as they call it, tho bettor it will bo for all concern ed. US?" American snobs are much gratified at the fact that the Prince of Wales recently took off bis coat and carried several buckets of water to quench a fire that arose in his residence. Wo have known bettor men to do the same thing, but nobody though of prais ing them for it. DC?* The Anti-Slavery Standard says that Colonel Ilalpino (Miles O'Reilly,) editor of the New York Citizen, is the author of “The Flaunting Lie,” the poem published in the New York Tribune some years since. We just thought it was some such chap; MARTIAL LAW IN TENNESSEE—-MAT IT MEANS. Tho continuance of martial law in Tennes see, after peace is established in the country, and’all occasion for the use of tho military power as a means of'preserving order has passed away, is a monstrous abuse of author ity, and should bo denounced by the friends of civil liberty in plain, unmistakably terras. Tho lato letter of General Thomas to Govern or Brownlow lets in light upon the view which that officer takes of tho duty ho is called upon to perform in that fetato. Ho says; u I am only waiting a report from Colonel Dcvassey to determine my couratT in'regard to Emerson Etheridge. If he has been guil ty of tho language charged against him,’ho is clearly amendable to tho military author ities in tho absence of tho civil, and is liable to bo tried before a military commission. My attention has been called to the speeches of other parties, bat as yet I have not soon mny report tlmt would justify tho interference of the military authorities. If, however, there should bo, in tho judgment of the govern ment, at any time a necessity .for euoU, inter ference in consequence of inability or indis position on tho part of tho civil authorities of the State to take notion, an expression of such a desire on tho part of tho Governor, stating tho inability or indisposition of the civil authorities to act, .will be sufficient, I will cause tho parties complained of to boat tended to according to the nature of tho case.” It will be sofln, in this extract from'tho letter of Gen. Thomas, that he assuages an “ absence of the civil authorities,” as tho ex cuse for his action. But that assumption has no facts to rest upon. There is no ab sence or abeyance of the civil authorities.— They aro stillwilling and able to protest tho civil rights of tho citizens of Tennessee, end have done so except when prevented by Gen. Thomas or some one acting under him. If Governor Browntow would ail th« civil au thorities of the State, as ha is bomnd to do by his oath of office, instead of openly opposing or secretly undermining their authority, in order to gratify hie personal hates, or fill his pockets by means' disgraceful to tho lowest cheat and swindler in the nation, tho people of Tennessee would not novr be insulted by the military power in their midst and tho open declaration that they hold their lives, liberties and property on suffrage from some general in command of that division or department. It would have been time enough for Gem. Thomas to act when the civ il authorities were shown to be powerless,— But he did not wait for any each eontingen cy. lie arrested persons by military author ity, defied the civil power, declared that mar tial law existed, and mow, as an extenuation of his offense, alleges the ‘'mbeeneo of the cilil power.” But General Thomas does not stop hero, lie notifies Brownlow that if he will express a desiro for the arrest of other persons, he (Thomas) ** will cause the par ties complained of to be attended to accord ing to tho nature of the case.” This intima tion, to such a man as Brownlow is known to be, of a willingness, if not a craving de sire on the part of General Thomaa, to “ at tend to the case” of any person or persona denounced by tho Governor, cannot but bo attended with the most serious Consequences. The civil law will bo powerless before such a combination ; and tho worst results of a mil itary despotism will doubtless be inflicted upon tho helpless people of Tennessee. Lotas nn aggravation of thi- conduct of General Thomas, it must be borne in mind, that this taking possession of the State of Tennessee by military authority in a time of peace, is on tho eve of nn election for civil officers. Members of Congress are to be cho sen ; and under the Constitution of the Uni ted States tho citizens of each State are enti tled tq a free ballot, and free discussion of the acta of .public officers. The people have a right to express their views as freemen in regard to the manner in which President Johnson and Governor Brownlow have exer cised the duties of their offices. Will this bo questioned in a free land 7 Except by fana tics. certainly not. They have no right to libel men in office, or counsel resistenco to law, or oppose public officers except in n law ful and constitutional manner. If they do cither of these acts, tho civil courts are open for redress. The facta can be proven, and the punishment awarded by those tribunals. But what right, iu a time of peace, has a general in command of a military department to declare, that a State is under martial law, and then send troops into all parts of it to overawe tho voters, deter them from holding public meetings, forbid the discussion of tho questions involved in the political contest, or upon an intimation from tho Governor, to arrest his political opponents and break up tho polls altogether ? This is what tho re cent notion of Governor Brownlow and Gen. Thomas is calculated to bring about. Gov ernor Brownlow will halt at no violation of law when a point is to be gained. He will denounce the best and purest men and patri ots in the State if they stand in tho way of his dark, dangerous and dirty political schemes nud machinations. Like Dug,aid Dnlgctty, ho is in the market, and serves tho hand that pays and feeds his coarse and vul gar appetites. He has broken all oaths, vio lated all private ties and attachments, dis graced all professions to which he has been attached, nud is an outlaw from all society which has for its basis the common attributes of our general humanity. This is tho man to whom General Thomas writes‘that a de sire on his part for military interference will bo followed by prompt compliance, and, Cla verhouse like, ho will let loose tho soldiery upon the unarmed people of that State, and on the eye of an important election. This is martial law in Tennessee. This is a republican form of Government, which the Constitution guarantees to every State as administered .by Governor Brownlow and General Thomas, and allowed and sanctioned by tho President. This is the way in which it is proposed to reunite the States and peo ple' of this country. To proclaim martial law in a time of peace, in a republican coun try, governed by a Constitution and laws, with judicial tribunals to interpret thoeamei and civil officers to enforce their decrees, will' certainly not meet tho approbation of tho thinking men of the nation. Such an out rage upon the people is unprecedented in the history of any government with the slightest pretense of respect for the popular will in its construction. It is bald, unre lieved military despotism ; and the people fbould look at it jp spt light? What «- prossion of , will can bo ex pected under such a system as that inau gurated in Tennessee? And if the election bo not. free, fair and open, it is worse than useless to hold an election at . all ; and the military authorities might as well name' the members of Congress, send them to Washing ton, and present their credentials on the .point of. a bayonet. Martial law in .Tennee scc at this time, end in the hands sf suoh a man as this Brownlow, is a degdly blow at the (upreraaoy of civil law, a criminal ob struction to the uttlement of. tho difficulties which now surround all the Southern States. — l'hilft.

The negro has fought and conquered for us, and deserves his reward. Re has a right to sit on juries, to hold office, and to vote as a freeman at the ballot-box.’’ All this plainly says, stand back white sol tdiors; you are entitled to no honor for your services in the battle-field ; it was the nigger, not you, that conquered the rebellion; “’the palm of patriotism’’ belongs to the nigger, not to you. Such is black Republicanism,' now the war is over.— f Vest Chester Jefferso nian.

[Cheers.] For ray part, I nnd all my soldiers hold ourselves in too much ro spoct to ho hangmon." It is evident that Sherman has little re spect for the hanging and confiscation spirit of tho blood-thirsty radicals. Tho Kow York Tribune’s Washing ton telegraphic correspondent gives the fol lowing under date of Friday night: “ John, Cochrane of your city spoke from . the portico of Willard’s tins evening, in-re sponse to a serenade, making quite a lengthy harangue, in which ho violently opposed ne gro-suffrage.

I had concluded not to write any more un til my return homo, hut it is impossible to keep jill in memory. I will thoreforn give you a brief nooount of 'Versailles and Paris. Versailles is built on about 2500 acres of ground, of which nearly 2000 acres are in Parke, Gardens and artificial Lakes and Re servoirs.- Tho Royal Palace, Imilt by Louis XIV., is the largoot aud most magnificent building in,the world. The Picture Gallery, containing the richest paintiuge, varying from three to one . hundred feet in length and height, is one of the wnndon of the world.— Only think of a collection of over throe thou sand of the finest Paintings by the oifist cele brated Masters of the Avt 1 I should have liked to spend two or three days there, hut it wae- impossible—l bad to finish up in six .hours.. X oily viek ear people could see the seven Royal Carriages, all mounted with gold and harness with the same costly ornaments, all wrung by taxation from tho hard earnings of tho laboring class. , Pavia has also many attractions—the Park and Gardeis of Luxembourg, with their beau tiful fountains; the House of Deputies ; the Observatory of Arngc (the great Astronomer is yet alive) ; tho Ilotel do Ville, also a Gov ernment building; the Invalided; the Fere le Chaise cemetery,, with thousands of splen did mnnumente—that of tho Russian Prin cess Elizabeth Demidoff being the most fcost ly; the.

But, Paris, with all its gayety and magnifP eenee, is the worst place for young persons in tho World. Licentiousness prevails to an as tonishing extent, and the painted lorettes throng the streets every night until 12 and 1 o’clock. This is the great evil of monarchies —the hundreds of thousands of idle soldiers fh«t garrison all European cities, cause this immorality. - Strangers are awfully “ taken in" hero, particularly Americans, who are unable to speak French or German. Eitheria absolutely necessary. I would cautisn every American not to came here, Unless he ean speak at least two languages. As soon as Americans come hero they engage a guide to show them round, and-also help them do thoir shopping. All euch pay double prices for thoir goods. I WBs'surprisod to see the clothing purchased by our friends from America compared to mine. I paid only half the prices that were charged them. The fashionable streets, also, ar# famous for their exhorbitant rates. I have almost forgotton-to mention the Pa noramo of Solferino, now on exhibition here. It is a wonderful work of art. As soon as we ascend into the building w» stand on a kind of height, like a mountain, from winch we look down into n country apparently from ten to thirty miles in area, exactly like the natural landscape itself. It is beautiful, in deed. No stranger should neglect to see it. On my return to London I went to work at once to see what I was unable to see when here Inst—among the most noteworthy places the Parliament Houses at Westminster,.with their beautiful Paintings and Statuary. I also ascended the great Dome of St. Pauls, from which the whole city of London can be overlooked. In my travels I have soon a number of an cient and beautiful Churches—the Dom of Mainz; the Minster of Basle, built by the Catholics and afterwards converted into a Protestant Church—in stylo similar to the Mainz Dom ; and the Strasburg Cathedral— L one of the grandest ecclesiastical structures | of Europe.

On Mon day morning last (10th) I loft London for Reading, on tho Kennot river. This'ancient town—after which our own Rending was 'named—has a population of about'2s,ooo in habitants, several Breweries, nnd extensive Agricultural Implement nnd Engine Manu factories. Ti e principal Brewers are Adolph and Henry Simonds;. tho older brother, Adolph, is Mayor of Reading, which is a prosperous city, with a fine surrounding country. On my return I visited Burton-on Trent, containing 13,000 inhabitants. The princi pal part of the town is owned by two Brew ers, Alsop & Son, and Bass, Rndoliff & Co. Each Brewery'occupies about 50 acres of ground, with buildings like castles. I was promised by the proprietors of both a descrip tion ol them, to bo sent after me to America. It is very interesting to see to what extent the Brewing business is carried on hero.— Bass & Co. brow about us ranch as the whole State of Pennsylvania. From Burton; I went to Liverpool. The country, from London all through England, is in a high state of cultivation. Wo passed several important manufacturing towns— Bedford, with extensive Agricultural Imple ments, Workshops and Foundries ; Welling, borough, a rich iron oro district, with Furna ces; Leicester, a considerable manufacturing place of Pottery, with Furnaces and -Machine Shops also, and plenty of coal mines in the neighborhood. • All along to Liverpool, there is abundance of coal,- and numerous Iron Works, From Liverpool I took the cars to Holy bead. Tho country along the sea shore is very romantic. The first largo country town is Chester, in a fine broken country, with a beautifully arranged race-course,which brings thousands of people there. Along the hill side, thonoo to Rhylo, wo see lead and cop per works, and several old Roman Castles. From Holyhead we crossed tho Irish sea in a steamer, which, after a passage of four hours, brought us to Kingston, a beautiful little town, with largo hotels and extensive sea-bathing accommodations for ladies nnd gentlemen. From thonco we went by rail road to Dublin, the capital of Ireland, which is a considerable business place, with Cue streets and largo wholesale warehouses. It contains a number of important public build ings ; chief among which is Trinity College, with its numerous branches—tho Examina tion Hall, the Chapel, the Laboratory, and its-beautifully enclosed Parks. ’ln front, wo see tho statues of Goldsmith, Burko, and nu merous other qplobrated men. lit. Patrick's Cathedral, St. George’s, the Post Office, Court House, Custom House, and others, are also among tho public places that deserve the at tention of tho traveller. I took adrive through tho Phoenix Park, containing at least 1000 acres, on a beautiful height. The Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland resides in tho Park, Hun dreds of deer pasture hero nmong the cuttle, some ns beautiful in color as antelopes, and all tame as sheep. The grounds are all open; hut they never stray off. Dublin has also several other Parks, as St. Stephen’s Green. Jbo. .-1 visited the Irish and World’s Fair, now open here. Nearly all nations are rep resented, but I could not observe any contri butions from tho United States. I noticed several very important new discoveries in manufactures; also, a remedy against the bop yishtj/OT gggff VfJjiqJj IP TOTjK prevalent in our country. Ilore, too, is a Sure remedy against thp.potato rot. I also visited thorill-go and extensive Por ter Brewery or Mr'. Guineas, in Dublin, who was the same day elected a member 6f Par liament. Ho was very busy when I galled, but bis managing Brewers kindly conducted mo through -.the.,whole establishment. 1 Here are brewed 1500, barrels of , Porter per day. All the principal Brewers of Groat, Britain are members of . Parliament. Indeed, the Brewers of England, Scotland, and Ireland are Ipoked upon as public ln the evening I returned from Dublin to Kings ton, well pleased with my visit. As I had a few hours’ time at. Kingston, I took a boat and visited our War Steamer, the Sacramento, which is lying'in the harbor here, to watch .for.the last rebel Pirates,. .Our boys are all in high spirits. They say the rebellion is fizzled out, and they desire to come homo again. I was' anxious .to see the Ship’s Surgeon, Dr. Kitchen, who is a Phila delphian, I believe; but ho was on shore. At 8 o’clook, P. M„ I left for Liverpool in the steamer SI. PetcrsburgJi, which was one of the Charleston blockade runners; The Captain and crew are well posted on Ameri can affairs. They are Englishmen. When they found Sherman coming too near they ?uit the business. This morning at 8 o’clock arrived here, after a rough sea voyage. I shifted my baggage on board the Scotia, and am now ready once more for our happy home. To give you anything like a full history of European affairs, I should have at least one month’s longer stay. Before I close, lot me add a few lines in relation to morals. The English nation is looked upon as the richest on earth; and still the most paupers and vag abonds are found throughout England. In London, a largo number of children run about the streets begging, who have none tb care for them. At night they creep any where for shelter. -Astney gec no education, they are all dertinod to become outlaws. In Germany, I did not see a single beggar.— Each town and village has its Amen Vcrein, to protect the poor. Prance provides for hor illegitimate children, which by the annual statistics of births, are the majority. I saw by papers here, that twe infants' had been found dead, by neglect or strangu lation. As there is no proof, the mothers are at largo Liverpool is full of prostitutes. On Wed nesday evening, when I arrived here from Burton, I walked up town from my Hotel in clear day light, and» as I stood at the corner opposite the Washington Hotel, a genteel looking woman took hold of my arm, and naked mo to go with hor, saying she had nice apartments at home. I excused myself by saying that I had already engaged apart ments at the Adelpbi Hotel, and she left.— But the most ragged and miserable looking poor of both sexes, old and young, I saw in Dublin. It is pitiful to look at them, with as many as a thousand patches to sover a single arm or log. They are in truth raga muffins. A glance at the other side of the pietnro. The rich in Europe ar* well dressed, and live splendidly. In the drinking Hat, par ticularly, they are far ahead of America. The Hotels aie well kept, with tables that cannot hesurpassed. Everythingis well pre pared and seasoned. The roast beef ia Eng land and Ireland surpasses all the world, in line flavor. I sould live on it all my life, or on. tho delicious mutton, which owes its deli 1 oaey to the flue and sweet pastnro. At sev eral places 1 found coffee rather inferior, but by adding a little of the rich ssiik or cream, it ia excellent. In P,.ris I would rather do without milk or cream. Switzerland is the finest country fbr fish. They nearly all taste like our trout. The coffee and milk are ex cellent. In Germany, coffee is made rery strong, and the tables d’htte are rery flue, comprising usually twonty-five rations dishes. My next will close this correspondence with a few words on European Hotels and living. FIIED'K, LAUER.

Stantoat. 3teps.pl and appoints Aim a Brigadier General! ! These outrageous insults to tho aountry are what the Abolitionists boast of. God saye them when liberty and law again get the suprem acy. “ Bto Vacancies.” —A largo number of dis abled soldiers have ixpplied 1 for offices in the Treasury Department at "Washington ; but the Secretary announces that “ no vacancies exist,” No, but it would bp very easy, and at the same time very just and humane, for tho Secretary to make any number; of vacan cies. And ha ought to do it. Butnowthat the var is .over,, tho poor soldier is not an, ob ject of,Biich interest and favor as lie has been for four years past, and he will And it so when he asks any substantial favor from his late eulogists. ■ ’ What Does it Mean ?—AVhat Is meant by sending regiments of soldiers, into our State to garrison our cities and towns ? It is eaid they are to do provost duty; but what duty of this kind is there for them to do, unices tho [executive and judicial power is to ho ta ken from the hands of 'our Governor and courts ? Arc wo to have the military rule, with its military commissions and other en gines of tyranny continued ? If they are sent here to keep the people in subjection; they aro too few; hut as there is no necessity for this, they arc too many. , By The soldiers aro not in favor of negro equality. A call appears in the Keokuk (Iowa) Constitution signed by a large num ber of soldiers, for a Convention to nominate a ticket, “to bq composed of candidates op posed to the policy of allowing the negroes to vote." Tho hoys in blue do not admire tho African as much ns do tho stay at-homo loyalists. , ■ ; By The Abolitionists were continually as sorting that the negroes would stay in tho South if freed. look like it in tho West. They aro swarming like Minnesota grasshoppers into Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Over 8,000 passes have been issued in Louis ville by the military authorities for negroes to com* . - From 'Tennessee. The Case of Emerson Etheridge—General ■ Thomas Spreads Uimsctf. N-.snvfr.t.n. July 28. This morning’. Pres: publishes a letter from Gen. Thomas to Governor Brownlqw. Gen.

If he has been guilt, of the language charged against him fie j s clearly amenable to tho military authorities in the absonoo of tho civil, and is liable to bo tried before a military commission. “My attention has been called to tbo speeches of other parties, hut as yet I hwo not soon any report that could justify the in. torferonoo of tho military authorities. If however,-there-should'be, in tho judgmohtof tho Government at any time, a 'necessity f or such interference, in consequence of inability or indispositionon tho part of the civil tttt . thoritios of tho State to take .action, an ex pression of snob a desire 'on the part of tba Governor, stating tho inability or indisposi tion of tho civil authoritieo fo act, will bo .sufficient.

SurrOßT Till PIIBSIDENT WHEN RIQHT , Tlie Abolitionists are afraid that tho Demo crats will win over Andrew Johnson to their faith by giving the constitutional acts of his Administration, a generous support. Judg. ing the Domonratio party by their own mer cenary, unprincipled party) they naturally conclude that it might, forsake, principle and do ■ any and everything that is mean, con temptible and .hano lor il.q nako of tempora ry success, but in this they will find them selves most egrogiously mistaken! The Dem ocratic party will in tho future, as it did in tho past, give its entire support to every Ad ministration, with whatever party it may bo identified, that administers tho government in strict accordance with the Constitution of the United States and arrogates.to itself.no doubtful powers. No matter what party was in power, the Democracy have ever esteemed it a duty and right to sustain tho administra tion in every just, constitutional and lawful measure, hoyondl'lCat they have nev er gone, and will not now. As far then as President Johuson does what is right and takes the Constitution for his guide ho will bo sustained by tho Democratic party, but, if ho should sot up his own will against tho Constitution add attempt to adminiater.tbo government mdside of it, then tho Democrat ic party, as tho defender oE the Constitution, must and will oppose his every act of usur pation. Tho Democrats intend to stand by the Constitution under all circumstances and the President that wants their support must do tho same; Tho Democratic party has therefore no coaxing to do, and no overtures to make. Principles and not men is its mot to and if Mr. Johnson courts its support ho has a plain course to pursue. To tho Aboli tionists, we would say, dismiss your fears.— The Democratic party will never onduraa your infernal nigger voting policy, nor your •nconstitutional measures, nor any man who supports them.— Somerset Democrat. llox. ,T. S. liiiAcc.—lTo bad the pleasure, , last-week, of meeting, at Bedford Springs, the distinguished gentleman whose name stands at the head of these lines. As Chief Justice of the Slate and Attorney General of the United States, Judge Black became wide ly and most (arorahly known, and to-day lie is regarded, at home and abroad, ns one,of the ablest jurists in the United States, It is a positive pleasure to hoar him talk upon le gal and political topics. So clear.and cogent is his reasoning, so apt are his illustrations, so comprehensive and complete his grasp of the whole subject under discussion, that his argument goes straight as an arrow to tlio mark, and the listener is ofttimes conrineailt against his will; Uow sndThat so few men! of his stamp are now to be found in publicL office. But, certainly, when men like Iloltf and Stanton govern the country, “ the postl of honor is the private station,”— Bcd/orit Gazelle. , | O"" A follow-in Arostook, Maine, -adver tising for a wife, describes himself as fol lows : “ I am eighteen years old,* have a good set of teeth, and believe in Andy Johnson, tho Star Spangled Banner, and-tho 4th of July. I havo taken up a State lot, cleared up eigh teen acres last year, and seeded ten of it down. My buckwheat looks , first rate, and tho oats and potatoes are bully. ‘I, have got ni»e sheep, a two year old bull and two heif ers, besides a house and.barn, - I.want to get married. I. want to buy broad and butter, hoop skirts and waterfalls, for the female persuasion during mj life. That’s what'! tho matter with me. But I don’t know hovr to do it.” A Word to tub Wisp.— Nbto is the time to push true Democratic papers in every di rection, for it is only by sowing sound seel that we can hope for a good, harvest. Dcnrl ocrats too often wait Until just before election before thoy begin to circulate their paper?, and that is generally too late , Abolition tares have sprung up and the good seed will not take root. Reader if you have a Demo: oratio neighbor, or. one who. is a. moderate Republican, don’t rest until you have indu* ced him to take a reliable Democratic hews* paper. _ ID** The Venango Spectator say John M. Dane, a member- of the 16th cavalry, who lost a leg in the service, was a candidate for Treasurer before the Abolition primary elec* tions in that county, and was defeated byn civilian. When it is remembered that this P ai ’fy is continually harping about the poor soldiers, the defeat of Lano is a fitting com ment on its hypocrisy.—(Pa.) Obiervcr. A private soldier, has a poor showing for any fat place at tho hands of the party claim ing to bo par excellence the soldier’s onlj friend.; Hate their Share.—lf, as the'financial writers, of the abolition party ".declare, a “ debt is a blessing" and is calculated to “develop our resources,” we know of'soms men who have “ blessings" enough of. that kind to bend their backs, and ‘'develop their resources” until there is nothing loft to dc' velop. They should enjoy life with such an 1 rbundninco of “blessings,” but strange to say they nil scorn exceedingly anxious to get rid of thorn. If “slavery” were abolished to-day; it || would give the South about"fourteen nioro gi representatives in Congress and' that much H of an increase in presidential electors. As™ that section is not particularly prejudiced ia % favor of abolitionism, wo don’t see that that party will gain much, in .a political point of view, in trying to wipe out the “barbarous ‘t institute.” . .. . % Lewisiiuro Journal.—Wol/avo received ;s tho first number of anew Democratic journal ;/■ with the above title, published at Lewisburg, £ Pa.
