Jefferson (search for this): article 4
closer, the wagon went on at a marvellous rate, Pearson on one horse and the negro on another — quite a picture for a comic actor to remember. If he can reproduce it on the stage some day, it will doubtless be highly applauded. [If this flying actor should ever happen to come into Dixie's Land in his theatrical peregrinations, he may have to account for that stolen negro.] Free Speech. A good comment upon the blustering of Moses H. Grinnell appears in the N. Y. News: Mr. Jefferson once said that "error of opinion should be tolerated, while reason is left free to combat it." Mr. Moses H. Grinnell recently remarked at a meeting of the Union Defence Committee. "I met a man to-day who expressed secession sentiments, and if I had had sufficient strength I would have hung him to the nearest lamp-post." How different the spirit of the Cavalier from that of the Puritan! One manifests the catholicity of a true apostle of liberty, while the other exhibits the bigotry and t

ne forth in the service of their country? The State is willing to see her sons perish in defence of liberty; it is her nature to feel so; but she is not willing to see her children forgotten or remembered with indifference. Let the muster roll of the Savannah be obtained, and let two prisoners (at least) for our one be forwarded from Richmond to the Charleston jail. We have no yellow fever, and the extra humanitarians need not shudder! We say, let these gentlemen be forthcoming, and Mr. Ely be among them. We ask only for justice, not of Lincoln, but from the Southern Confederacy; and when Baker and Harleston, with their comrades, are again paraded through New York, handcuffed, and for derision, let these gentlemen of the North take fresh air on the Battery under similar circumstances. If it brings about the slaughtering of our friends and of our children, so be it; they know will how to die, and we will know how to revenge their unholy and unnatural murder! But let us move

Current events. facts and rumors — Extracts from Northern journals — war movements and Incidents, &c., &c. The subjoined summary is made up from late papers received at this office: Peace petition. The following is a copy of the petition presented by Hon. Ben. Wood, of New York, in the Federal House of Representatives, on the 29th of July. We are authorized to say that similar memorials have accumulated there daily for a month; and while none of them were successful, the fact shows that the despotic Government dare not deny the people the right of petition: To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: We, the undersigned, residents of Prattsville, Greene county, N. Y., do respectfully petition: That, whereas civil war now exists between a portion of the United States and what are known as the Confederate States, prostrating business of every kind, and producing an estrangement of the people of the two sections of our once glorious country

true men, be carried along by excitement or passion into so deplorable an extreme. Though differing upon the late political questions, we are all Tennesseans. For the honor and glory of Tennessee let us be, as heretofore, shoulder to shoulder in battle, or peacefully at home, not sorrowing when victory perches on the standards of Tennessee regiments. F. K.Zollicoffer, Brig. Gen. Com'dg. Blood for blood. The following communication appears in the Charleston Mercury, of the 7th instant: We do not say "a tooth for a tooth," or "an eye for an eye," because the "authority" by which these expressions are furnished has long since been exploded, and the higher law doctrine prevails in its stead; but we will say, and do say, "blood for blood," and to the bitter end we sustain this principle! Why waste time with the courtesies of war, when we are dealing with a ruthless enemy? Why talk of "rights and usages?" Did a Camanche ever respect either? When did the red man sou
