Fontsasviur, Tenn'a Correspondence. For tht Columbia IJemaerat Col. L. L. Tate, Dear Sirs In your issue of tho 20th I noticed an article "from ono of tho back townships" in reply to Dr, Johns of tho llth inst., with Dr. John (or the writer of that arliclo in quostion) I have no contro. versy. But from a desire to defuso cor rect political informations I wish to com ment on the subject matter in that commu nication from Mr. Township. Tho writer said "wo bcliovo tho Republican nartv ro- sponsihlo in tho main for thu origin of this 1 ratricidal strife, for tho very foundation of this party aro antagonistic to the south, as devclloped in the Philadelphia Platform by exolusivo northern delegation." " J hat tho twin allies of barbarism sla very and polvRaniy wcro to bo nbolishcd." Note what is tho Philadelphia,platform viz. Jiesolvedj 1 hat tho constitution confers upon congress, sovereign power over tho Territories of tho United States for their government and that in tho cscrciso of this power it is both tho right and duty of Con gress to prohibit in tho Territories thoso twin relies of barbarism Polygamy and slavery" tho writer also states, that that convention "was exclusively northern. iho states represented in that conven tion were Maine, Ncwhanipsbirc, Vermont, Khodo Island, Connecticut, Now York Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- land, Ohio, Indiana, lllinoiso, Michigan Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kentuoky and California with tho Territories, Kan sas and Nebraska. If tho wriUr can malco all tlicso North ern States ho may do so. But let mo ro mind him that thcro wero two moro States represented in that convention then in that nominated John C. BrcckinridRo in 1600, consequently less sectional, having at least CSS delegates, each two having ono voto in tho convention that nominated JohnC. Breckinridgo thcro was 210 dele gates each two having ono voto and many of these against tho will cf their constitu ents as since shown by their popular ecnti mcnt,tho writer assumcs,'that tho republi can party is mainly to blame on tho ground that it was offensive to tho South, is tho fact that tho principles of tho republican party aro oiisnsivo to tho Bouth, sufficient ground "in tho main" to create all this strife. 'Would it not bo better if tho writer can provo that the party was in tho wrong, and advocating doctrino that was uncon stitutional t this ho did not attempt to do for reasons cither known, or not known to himself. Now my dear sir Washington was not born too far South, to be quoted as au thority by Republicans. What aro tho doctrines in tho platform rcfercd to by tho writer, viz: that congress has the right to prohibit in tho Territories, not as stated by him to abolish slavery." Why did ho not state this correctly ! Does ho know or does he not know, that Washington eight years before he uttered tho sentiment rofcrcd to, signed a bill prohibiting slavory in all tho Territory tho United States then had, and about ono year after, wroto to Jjuiayctto, speaking of that net as among tho best of his lifo and also expressed a strong desiro to havo tho period soon to arrivo when every Btato of this Union 8houldborid of slavery. Why! Did ho say "Washington, warned his countrymen against the foundation of sectional parties." This quotation reminds mo of tho man that sharpened a razor to cut hU own throat, with tho idea that ha was using it to tho best advantage. Washington, did warn hia countrymon against tho first dawniegs to alionato ono section from an other. Now what is tho foundation, or first attempt in our present strifo t Does tho writer know, that the Kansas bit!, removing tho "Congressional prohi bition, known as tho Missouri Compromise, is tho foundation and first attempt, does ho know that tho Dred Seott decision, and tho Buchanan endorsement followed in rapid succession t all forming tho basis of a sectional party, in direct opposition to the government of Washington and Jeff erson, and sentiments of Thomas II. Ben ton, a southern Washington and Jcffor- soman Democrat Now Mr. Back Township, you were promised good times after the election of Curtin ane Lincoln, why aro tho times not getting better. The tariff has not yet been reduced as you seemed to fear, but has been put on a few articles that whero free, so that it cannot bo on account of tho re duction of duties on imports. Well tho times are bard, that is true, and thero is a reason for it, what is it! I will tell you, and on this point there is no controversy among men of any parly. It is because thcro is a lcaguo of traitors and pirates formed to destroy the best government in tho world, a structuro reared by the great ost and best men the world ever saw, with tho immortal Washington at their head, JCFFERSONIAN llUPUBLTCAN. Congressional Debate and Speech OF IIon. IIENDIUCK B. WRIGHT, Upon the JicsoliUion of Mn. Vallandici- UAM, of Ohio, for the appointment of Pence Commissioner! to accompany our army : Mr. Wright, I am opposed to tho amend ment of tho gontkman from Ohio, from tho fact that it will bo holding out to those men who nro occupying a rebellious atti tude, a reward for their treason Mr. Vallandigham. Ono question, by tho gontleman's permission. I ask whcth cr ho is opposed to tho return of tho3o States which have seceded from tho Un ion t Mr. Wright. I am not opposod to tho roturn of thoso States which havo secedod from tho Union. Mr. Vallandigham. One question fur thcr. If they desiro to return without fighting, without striking another blow, I ask tho gentleman if ho intends that they shall bo mado to fight and compelled to stand up and rcccivo our cannon shot, and tho edge of our swords, and tho point of our bayonets, whether thoy resist or not 1 Mr. Wright. When those gent'emen now fighting undor the standard of rebel lion lay down their arras Mr. Vallandigham. That h a easo dearly within my resolution. Mr. Wright. And suo for pcaco, and surrender their leaders, then I am for poace. Great applauso in tho galleries. It is not my purposo, Mr. Chairman, nor my object, to carry on against theso sou thern seceded 8tatca a war of aggressions. It is not my purposo that it shall bo re garded as a war of subjugation. But the mission of tho Army of tbo loyal States south, is to defend tho integrity of this Govornment and maintain tho unsullied honor of its flag ; not to rob sonthern men of their property ; nor to interfere in any way with tho negro question j and so long as tho object and destiny of that Army, in marching forward, is to proservo tho in tegrity of tho Union, I am opposed to any proposition of peace whilo these men hold arms in their hands and maintain their at titudo of hostility. And such I believe to bo tho sentiment of the loyal men of tho North, or of tho loyal men of the North, and South. Now, Mr. Chairman, I havo heard 0 great deal 6aid, sinco I havo been hero, within this nail, and out of this IIall,about pcaco. I want to see no pcaco that is to bo established upon tho overthrow and disintegration of the Republic Here tho hammer fell. Mr. Wright I havo not occupied fivo minutes or three minutes. Tho Chairman. Tho time has expired, and the gentleman oan only proceed by unanimous oonsent. Cries of "Go on 1" Tho Chair hears no objection. A Voice For fivo minutes only. Mr. Wright. It is too lato; no re striction now. Tho Chairman. Tho gentleman is en titled to proceed for fivo ininutcs,as wo aro acting under tho fivo minutes rulo. Mr. Wright. No such lorras of peaco will I voto to accept or entertain. I agree with tho gentleman from Ohio ontirely, that when our army marohed into Mexico, ns also into tho Territory of Utah, thoro were, as I understand it, commissioners appointed by tho Government to go with that army. But I now Gonfino my ro marks to tho army of Mexico. Why did wo send commissioners with that army ? Bocauso that was a conflict between na tions. Tho war which is being waged in tho United Statos now is a war waged by members of our own household. With regard to tho caso of Utah, tho gentleman from Ohio asks how it was thero. It is truo that Utah, at that timo was a Territory, and perhaps thcro would bo somo similarity between that caso and the present. But in this domcstio war which is being waged on tho part of members of our own household, I think it behooves the General Government to attempt, at least, toexort its power to dictato terms to them. They aro not awaro I presume, of what thy havo already done j neither do I be lievc that ihcso men engaged in this wick ed rcbollion know not only what had been accomplished, but tho position thoy actu ally occupy. Why, sir through tho wholo Northern and eastern portions of tho Uni ted States hundreds and thousand of men who have spent a long life in proouring tho means of subsistence and comfort, and who regarded themselves as rich and inde pendent, arc, to-day, in consequence of this foul treason on the part of tho South ern Statos, candidates for tho poor-houso. Who has caused and produced all that suffering, and who is to atone for it ? Throughout the whole country you find all kinds of business at an end ; you find commerce suspended ; you find tho doors of tho manufactories closed ; you find all handicraft work abandoned ; and you find want and famino marching over tho land. ho has produced all this T Theso men 01 mo Bcccuing states who havo risen up ana attempted to stnko down tho Govern ment. Now when they come to us and ask terms for theso unholy and unrighte ous acts, I am willing to say to them that wo will tako your terms into consideration when you lay down your arms and aban don tho project of a southern confederacy and then wc will treat with you, and not before. Tho oiTensos havo been to severe nnd too groat, that havo been committed on tho part of these southern secessionists, to go unpunished. Now, sir, I do not want it understood that I advoeato what is regarded as tho subjugation of theso men that is, that wo want to hold their country as a conquered territory; but I tell you, sir, what is tho duty of this great Government 1 it is to send our army thcro that patriotio men may breathe in tho rear of it, if they can not breatho in tho front of it. "Good I" "Good !" Wherever that army haa advanced, you find tho Union sentiment is permitted to livo and thrivo and flourish. How is it in regard to northwestern Vir ginia ? Wo find her representatives upon this floor to-day, To whatever point this army of occupation has advanced, whero evcr they havo permitted tho stars and stripes to be. unfurled, we had a represen tation in this Houso, nnd soon will havo a representation upon tha floor of the Senate. If northwestern A'irginia had been under the flag of secession, would thero have been a representation from that Stato in cither of tho Houses to-day I No, sir. That subjugation about which I wish to speak in tho subjugation of traitors, in or der that the benefits of our laws and insti tutions shall prevail. If tho gentleman from Ohio calls this subjugation, I tell him i am in favor of such subjugation. . More- Now Blanks.

Tho recent troubles in Syria nro produ cing somo very unexpected results. Tho revolt of tho fanatical Druses, and tho ret ributions provoked by the excesses to which tho insano hatred of tho Maronito Christians had led them, have resulted in opening to tho gazo of tho civilized world treasures, which but for that contcJt might havo still remained buried among tho musty possessions of tho convents of Palestine. Hardly have tho scholars of tho world ceased their congratulations over tho famous Tisehcndorf manuscript tho most valuablo literary troasuro discovered in modern timos beforo tho announcement is made that a rival has been found in an Old Testament discovered at Nazareth, in comparison with which tho former appears almost modern in its dato. This new trcasuro is a copy of tho Pen tateuch, and claims to bo nt least twenty threo hundred nnd sixty years old. Tho best account of tho matter which has thus far roached ns from tho pen of Dr. Loyburn, now in Palestino, in a recent number of tho Presbyterian. It appears that Jl'rofessor Lcvishon, an emmcut Orv cntsl echolal, a friend of Tischcndorfs and for twenty yoars Profassor of Hebrew in the University of St. Petersburg, has for some timo been pursuing his studies with great zeal in Jerusalem, with special reference to tho University soon to bo erected thcro by tho Russian Government. Professor Levishon, in his search for old manuscripts, went to Nazareth nearly a year ago, and looked at a number, amongst which was one they told hira had been "through tiro." On examining it he found an endorcemcnt, evidently from a differont hand, and of lator dato than tho original, statiDg that on a oortain occasion thi3 with sovoral others was thrown into tho fire as a test of its genninonoss, and that it alone eame out uninjured. Having returned to Jerusalem, tho Professor pur sued his ordinary work until Bomo time after tho Damascus and Lebanon massa cres, when a fanatio Moslem from Damas cus came down to Nazaroth, and began to pcrsccuto thrco of tho Samaritan Chris tians thcro, and on somo potty chargo had them oast into prison. Dr. Levishon, who had been consulted in tho mattor, inquired of tho Russian Bishop at Jerusalem If tho thrco Samaritans had no means of pur chasing their ransom. "Nono," was tho reply, "they aro vory poor." "No properly J" "None." "Nothing whatever !" "Nothing yes thoy have a book, a very old book, and it is ono which has been Viro' the fire 1" Professor no soonor hoard this than bu saw himself in anticipation tho owner of this rare old treasure, no at onco mado a largo offer for tho book ; tho prisoners wero released and tho book becamo his property. On a closer scrutiny of the manuscript it was found, from an inscrip tion, to bo, as already stated, at least two thousand threo hundred and sixty years old. It is endorsed as having been in tho hands of Zerubabel, who built tho second temple. Jivan thu ancient manuscript is surpas sed by another, which has long been known to bo in existence, known as tho ''Samari tan Pentateuch," and which has; hitherto boon studiously withheld from the eyes of scholars, but which Professor Lovishon has recently been permitted to csamino, and of a portion of which ho has mado photographio fac simile copies. During tho interesting researches connected with this famous manuscript, Dr. Levishon found upon it an inscription which places it ho says "beyond all doubt that this identical parchment copy of tho Pentateuch (tho Samaritan) was mado by a grandson of Aaron, and tho grand-nephew of Moses." Wo must confess that these discoveries seem almost too wonderful for belief and yet tho etctementa of such a scholar as Professor Lovishon seem hardly to leave us room to doubt their substantial cor rectness. Verily that littlo despised town of Zobulon has been strangely honored I It was hero that Christ lived for thirty years. It was hero that no preached hia urst sermon, and now after tho lapso of almost twonty centuries, it is Nazareth to whioh is reserved tho honor of oiving tho most ancient manuscript copies of tho Old icstamcnt to tho world. Indeed thu last mentioned copy of tho Pentateuch, if wo arc to accept tho dates ssignod it, must havo been more than a thousand years old at tho timo of tho Savior's birth. Who shall say that the eyes of Christ havo not rested upon, and His hands handled, this thrice sacred volumo, or that when Ho went into the synagoguo of this very town, "and stood up to read," as Ilia custom was on tho Sabbath day," that he did not sometimes open this very boot I Y. Lhronltli. Miko Fink and tlio Bull. Miko tools a notion to go in Bwimming ono hot Sunday morning, and had just got hia clothes off, when he saw Deacon Smith's bull making nt him tho bull wa a vicious animal, and had como near kill ing two or threo persona consequently, Miko felt rather "jubus." no didn't want to call for help, for ho was naked, and tlio nearest placo from whenoo assistanco could arrivo was tho meeting houso, which was nt that timo filled with worshippers,among whom was "tho gal Miko was paying his devours to." So ho dodged tho bull a tho animal camo nt him, and managed to catch him by tho tail. Ho was dragged around till nearly dead, and when ho thought ho could hold no longer, ho made up his mind ho had better "hollor." And now wo will let him toll his own ntory . "So looking at tho matter in all its bear ings, I cum to tho conclusion that I'd bet ter let somebody know whar I was. So I gin a louder yell than a locomotive whistlo and it warn't long beforo I seed tho Doa con'a two dogs n comin' down as if thoy war eeein whioh could got thar fust, I knowed who they wcro arter they'd jino tho bull ngin mo, I was sartin, for they wero orful wenomous, and had a spito agin me. So says I, old brindlo as ridin is as cheap aa walkin on this route, if you'vo no objeotions, I'll jist tako a deck passage on ar back o' yourn. So I wasn't very long gettin' astrido of him ; then, if you'd lia thar, you'd havo sworn thar warn't nothin human in that ar mix ; tho silo flew eo or fully as tho critter and I rollod round tho field ono dog on ono sido, and ono on tho other tryin' to clinch my feet. I prayed and cussed, nnd cussed and prayed, until I couldn't tell whioh I did at last and neither warn't no uso, they war eo orfully mixed np. Well, I rcokon I rid about half an hour this wy, when old brindlo thought it wa timo to slop to tako in a supply of wind, and cool off a little. So when ho got round to a tree that stood thar, ho natu rally halted. Sosozl, old -boy, you'll loso one passenger, sartin. So I jist olum np a branch kalkcrlatin' to roost thar till I starved, aforo I'd bo rid round that or way any longer. I war a raakin tracks for tho top of tho tree, when I heard snth in' a makin' a orful buzzin' over head. I kinder looked up, and if thcro warn't well, thar'a no use o, awearin' now, but war tho biggist hornets nest over built. You'll 'gin in,' now, I rcckon.Miko, 'cauw thcro'a no help for you. But an idee struck mo then, that I'd stand a head hoi. tcr chanco a ridin' tho bull than whar I was.

This timo tho dogs led off fust, dead bent for old deacon's, and aa soon as old brindlo and I could get under head way, vro followed. And as I war only a deck passenger, and had nothin to do with stecrln' tho craft, I swore if Iliad, wo shouldn't havo run that ouannoi, any how.
