- ? I MIUJ J . From the Louisville (Ky.) Journal. A Tennessee Vendetta. A correspondent at Elizabcthtown, ^ Carter county, Tennessee, gives us particulars of a terrible feud that lias been raging for twenty years between two families of that county, and which was brought to an end bv bloody deaths of the sole surviving males of the" warring tribes, in the I streets of Elizabethtown, on the eve- j ning of the 5th instant. The history ; of the affair, as detailed by the correspondent, is as follows: "In the fall of 1840 a family nain-ed Johnstone removed from the neighboring county of Wautauga, Nprth Carolina, into Carter county, East Tennessee, and settled down in the neighborhood of another family named Rogers. Johnstone, who appeared ' to be an energetic, industrious man, immediately went to work at clearing up a little farm. In this labor he was assisted by two sons?both mere lads. While the three were engaged in erecting fencing about tlicir patch of land, Rogers rode up to~wherc they were at work, one day, and laid claim to a pile of rails, about a dozen in number. This claim Johnstone disputed, and finally on Rogers applying to him the epithets of "liar" and "thief," the North Carolinian pulled him from his horse, and administered to him a severe chastisement- with his fists. Rourrcrs went off vowing ven% geance, and in the course of an hour returned to the spot armod with a rifle, the contents of which, he discharged into the body of Johnstone, producing fatal consequences. Rogers who was a man of some wealth for those primitive times, and was possessed of considerable influence among his rougH, unlettered neighbors, was acquitted of the charge of murder by an examining justice. This was the beginning of the terrible vendetta that has run through the years that followed, cutting down the males of the two families in the prime of their -i- ii. ? Btreugm uaiu uuuiiuuuu. The two Johnson lads vowed vengeance upon the jnurdercr of their parent, and one of them, James, worked night and day with but one object in view?to accumulate the means to purchase a rifle. At length he became the owner of one, and one Sabbath morning, with his gun upon his shoulder, he approached the house . of Rogers. The latter was sitting upon his porch, and, as he saw young Johnstone approaching, probably divining his intention, arose hastily and started toward the?rack fftCEre own gun was suspended. But the avenger of blood was upon his path, and ere he could reach his weapon, he fell upon the flour a corpse, his heart pierced by the bullet of his foe. Rogers left behind him a young wife and three children, one of them was a boy. Among the rough backwoodsmen of Carter county young Johnstone's crime was looked upon with satisfaction, if not with lavor-?tne Indian law of retaliation being looked upon by thein as the very cream of justice. Afterwards Johnstone married, and as the years passed by he became surrounded by an interesting and numerous progeny. The boy William Rogers, in the meantime, had almost reached manhood's estate, when one morning,"without divulging his intention to his mother ^ or sisters, he left the house with his father's rifle tipon his shoulder, as if he were going to hunt, and in less less than an hour a griefstricken mother.and children were weeping over the corps of a slain husband and father. Young Rogers, in his-turn, had become an avenger, and Thomas Johnstone fell beneath his hand. In time the memories of these three murders died away, and those "who . "were children then grew up to be men and women. William Rogers had taken to himself a wife, and become the head of a growing family. One morning he rode into Elizabetktown, and as he did not return that night a circumstance that had never occurred before?his wife became uneasy, and'in the morning induced her brother to start'to town in search of her missing husband. ? About three miles from the house he came upon the body of his brotherin-law . lying in the road, stiff and cold in death. His brain had been pierced by a rifle ball. Although his murderer was never discovered, yet the community quietly accepted the belief that Henry Johnstone, a son of Thomas, who was slain by Rogers, was the perpetrator of the deed. Some years afterwards, in a drunken moment, in Elizabethtown, this young man acknowledged he had slain Rogers, and gave as his reason that the latter had killed his father. Johnstone was a young man, and only a few months before the murdei had been married to a young girl ir the neighborhood. Again the chart of time was unrolled, and at least ten years had beer added to the past, when a young lad, a son of the murdered Rogers, engaged in an altercation in the yarc pf the court house at Elizabethtowr \ 1? ''. . * with Johnscnc, who was then a middleaged man, and inflicted such wounds upon him with a knife that he died on the following morning. ...^ Thus it went on for year?,"and now a J oh nston e'faTfi hg beneath the avenging hands of a Rogers, and then a Johnstone, until the war intervened, and for a time, at least, the terrible feud appeared to have ended.? The cessation of hostilities brought the survivors of the warring families back to Carter county. ^These sur-1 vivors consisted of Randall Rogers and Robert Johnstone, both battlcdscarred veterans, and both unmarried men. On the evening oft^e 5th inst, these two yonngraen met in a grocery at Ebzabethtown, and soon be-, came engaged in ah altercation. Bystanders interfered, and for an hour or two a collision was averted. They were separated by friends and taken off in opposite directions. This occurred about noon. About. 3 o'clock, as Rogers was going up street, he saw Johnstone coming down. ^. As they neaped each other they drew their revolvers and coininenced simultaneously firing upon each other, conthiuing to advance as they fired. Finally, and when about four feet distant from Johnstone, Rogers sank to the pavement, and, as he lay, the last act of his life was to fire the last charge in his pistol into the abdomen of Johnstone, whose last bullet, fired at the same instant, penetrated his antagonist's brain, causing instant death. Johnstone, reeled and fell across the body of his foe, and when, bystanders rushed to where they lay, lie too had passed beyond all reach of mortal aid. Almost at the same instant oftime their two blopd guilt souls had gone to join the gory ghost's or their ancestors.? Thus ended a feud that has existed for more than twenty years, in the course of which fourteen men have died violent deaths. ? Tiie New York Southern Relief Association.?So many and such-well authenticated accounts have reached the North of the terrible des titution now prevailing throughout a wide belt of the lately rebellious States that a vigorous movement has been set on foot by a number of ladies of^his city to organize a system for its prompt and effective relief. ' No political color whatever is to be given to this movement. It will have but one object?rthc saving of them spirit of that charity which blesses both them who receive and them who give. The ladies are.encouraged to their good work by Mayor Hoffman, by the Catholic Archbishop of New York, by Bishop Potter and Dr. Tyng, and by a number of other eminent laymen and clergymen. They have taken a central office at No. 14 Bond street, where supplies of dry goods, clothing, &c.j may be daily sent from 9 A. M. to 6 P. M.. Messrs. Harris, Gaines ft- "NTh 1 n "Whitehall street, will receive for them any more weighty, contributions, and Commodore Garrison has generously offered to fur\ nish a steamer for conveying to tlie South the help which it must surely be impossible that Ncw York will be slower niggard in.extending to hundreds of thousands of women and children dying with hi our own borders for lack of the absolute necessaries of life.?JSTcw York World. Death of Nathaniel P. Willis. ?Nathaniel P. Willis died at his residence at Idlewild last evening, aged sixty years. Mr. Willis lias been for years an invalid, and for months was confined to I$ewild. lie was recently stricken by .paralysis, and died from the results of this he probably died. Mr. Willis was born in Portland, Me., 011 January 20, 1807, and had consqeuently just completed his sixtieth year, day for day. He commenced writing while at Andover College some scientific sketches, and his finest poetical works partook of a scriptural character. He was editor of the old New York Mirror, conducted for years with General George P. Morris and latterly of the Home Journal. Mr. "Willis also wrote several plays, but they are not now performed, though once popular. - N. Y. Eve. Exp.y 21st. .

This is a greater amount than has been lost ley . failures in the Northern States dn. ring any year since 13G1. - In 18G5, t there were 530 failures, with $17,G25,000 losses.

Evidences accumulate that the ruling party in Congress must soon choose between an abandonment of its extreme views, and a dissolution of its present | compact and powerful organization.? I The financial and commercial interests \, of the country demand a return to more ' moderate and conservative counsels, or ( a forfeiture of the support of the large and powerful classes composing the capitalists and tradesmen of the North.? It is well - for -our people to consider what measures are likely to be tendered us as a modification of the ponding 11 Constitutional Amendment; and what position wo should assume upon tliom. j The amendment embraces two points i of vast practical importance. First, tho exclusion from the basis of representation in Congoss, of any class j of our people, who do not enjoy the j right of suffrage. Secondly, the exclusion from office, State or Federal, of all persons who having at any time sworn allegiance to the United States, participated in the war of Secession. Under the first head, we should be Compelled, either to admit the negro to the ballot box, or to throw him out of calculation in the assignment of members of Congress. Excluding him} South Carolina, under the Amendment,... would have tw:, instead of four members of Congross. The representation undisturbed. Certainly,, this ffiUV'T?* power, to a section already hopelessly in the minority, would be a grievanco, greatly -to bo deprecated. Still, we j think there are some compensating ad- j vantages to be derived from the fact, that! it rests with the Stato to suffer this loss j of power, or to increase it by adopting j negro suffrage, if she should over see fit j to do so. The control of this subject is ' in safe hands when left to the State.? i Wo should never again hear the negro j suffrage agitated by the North. Tho j ruling faction having once placed us at j this groat disadvantage, would never lavor It scheme for increasing the power of the South iu tho Federal Congress. On tho*other hand, the State would never adopt universal suffrage, unless demanded by sound policy. We conclude, therefore, that though a serious i.lnw +n f.hfi nower of the South, in this L ~ ~ , ! respect, the Amendment would not prove absolutely fatal. But the second proposition is vitally?fatuity objectionable. If adopted, it would disqualify for office, nearly. every man who has ever held an office,* civil or military, under the State of South Carolina.? The whole of the State would be doublelocked. South Carolina would not only bo deprived of .members of Congress, but of Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Judges, Legislators, Sheriffs, Magistrates and Constables. The men are not to be found in this State who could fill these positions, even if we were , base enough to ostracise every man in tho State whom we have heretofore distinguished by our reverence and respect, we should secure nothing*by our calf abasement, but an impracticable civil chao,s with the united contempt and detestation' of every honorable mind. So long as this feature is retained, the Constitutional Amendment can never be made operative in any truly Southern Stato. This, therefore, is justly regarded as the most violent j , and impracticable of all the demands of1 , ihe Radical party, and must bo modi- i lied if the South is to bo restored to the j r Union in this generation. The mcas-1 ' uro proposed as a substitute for the > Amendment which appears to have been most favored at the North, seems ' to be what is termed impartial suffrage. The pretence for excluding tho Southern States, has been, that they have not t 'a Republican form of government, bei cause they exclude a class of the peoplo from citizenship. In order to meet this J ' rj V * 8* ..-i"- - *" ffs" ; objection)is proposecPthat the South remove the disability of the negro as a class, and establish a qualification for voters which will apply to both races alike. Such as that which prevails in Massachufletts, for instance, where none are .allowed to; vote who cannot read and write. Tho question of suffrage, it,is true, rightfully belongs to the States, but we are now engaged in settling the terms of peace with our conquerors, and should this proposition be mad?to us, we must be prepared .to consider how it will comport with a sound and wise policy to accept it. If it comes in such a shape, as that it' will not disfranchise any who now exercise the privilege of voting and is presented simply,1 and as an ultimatum, it wiU merit f.Via most careful and serious con sideration of our people. The Court3. We regret to learn, says the Carolinicw, that the Court of Errors, last week, decided that the law passed by the Legislature, suspending the Fall Torrn of the Courts, last year, is unconstitutional. The consequence is that writs sued to the last Term arc made returnable asu3ual;and that parties who sued last Fall will obtain judgment at the ensuing Spring Term. * A Surprise. Tho "Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore. Sun says : " Mr. Sternrcss surprised the galleries and many of his bro her Republican piembors by the announcement that ho would probably move to lay his reconstruction bill on the table. The evident division of sentiment on the subject on the Republican'side has induced this action, although many of tho- moro radical members think some such measure should be passed." New Bails. The Charleston Courier says a new National Bank is about to be establish? > ed iu that city, with a capital of $300, 000, and tho privilege of making it $500,000. Assurances have been received from the Secre' aiy of tho Treasury that tho requisite securities would be allowed to the bank, and most of the - - i i .Hi., -vr ti. rru? stock, will do tan en at rue iiurtn. xuo necessity is very groat for banking facilities here, and it is probable- that ifthe proper steps were taken, one would ; ha.arrnni-nl - - i aip in i Tnuii E JIIG It A TION OF IS'EGItOES.?We still continue to witness accounts of the moving of large numbers of our colored population out of the State. Their instincts and common sense rises superior to the advice of. the press generally, and the influence of men in high places.- Why should they stay, when double wages and plenty are to he fouud in other States? And why should any one, who regards the future condition of our society and political prospects, wish to retain an immense majority of negroes in old South Carolina? It is blindness, and argues a greater regard for the chances of making a little larger cot ton crop, than for anything else. - it is a disregard of all the circumstances of the ease, except one, that of a suppled clicaper labor. Need we point out all the other circumstances associated with a preponderating negro population, in a Slate or Territory, subjugated to the rule of'a fanatical majority, who vote upon everything connected with their relations to the whites, a distance of hundreds and. thousands of miles from us? States of the distant Pacific, and bordering on the lakes of Canada, are establishing regulations-for the internal affairs of South Carolina! and unfortunately, with a spirit hostile to peace, order and good government ; and to what do they look for as the basis of annoyance and trouble to us? Need .we give the answer? Need we conic out and tell any one that it is this vorv excess of lie?ro population that is the cause of all our political troubles that come to us from a hostile majority in the far off North ? It is the pillar and ground" of the whole of it. Let the exodus go on, it will be "twice blessed." It is a blessing t o the frecdmen to be enabled to get away from the State, and a blessing to the State itself, especially to all that is future.?Greenville Enter2)i'ise. 3I.ATERi.tL Resources of the South?Since the earliest days in the history of the country it lias been aiiundoubted truth that, iit the practical practice of political economy on 1 this continent, the South, -with her I mellow and generous soil and gentle J climate, whose genial .warmth brings almost unbidden from even the most barren parts of her bosom the flowers of the tropics and4he fruits and fragrance of Arcady, has wasted her i sweetness and her wealth upon the i North. With the riches of Ophir beneath her bosom her children have not availed themsclses of its Wallli. The North or rather New England, has ! fattened on her substance, and now j pays its pampered politicians with the ' wealth wrung from the people tlicy ; now tyrannize over. Why is this? . | . There is no excuse whatever for New England, or the fanatics of the' North.- They are not only thieves, [ but the most-ungrateful of the class.. What-weovisK to urge upon each State and man in the South is, that they-' are not entirely without reproach.? They have been blind, to" their own: interests. Are their eyes now open ? Let each- individual an<J each State in the South look to its own domestic weal, while it has an eye on national,, politics. Let them look to their polity as well as to their policy; let them think of the developcment of their own resources; the remodelling of their labor system,, and the construcHrm nf nermar'eht internal imorovc ments, Above- all, let them look to their laws and see that they ..arc in harmony with their condition. They have now no voice in the General Government. Let each so nurse- its power and develop its wealth as to be ready, when called for, to show, that slavery was not the backbone of the South;-but that her .sons, even under the heel of tyranny, can do works worthy of credit. - The North has fattened on her long enough; let her strength he now gathered to herself. Let her give every inducement to foreign capital and immigration, whieli, if properly attracted, will unfold a page of national wealth, unequalled in the records df the world. > Wealth is now the sceptre that sways the affairs of the world; without it a people are "poor indeed."? The South, in her water power and minerals, has exhaust less- nature as a treasurer;.let its people draw boldly upon her, and the diadem of Southern wealth and power will ere long glitter in the eyes of the world more brilliantly than even her knightly swordsgleams in history.?Metropolitan Record. .
