A oomrehcDsive view of the way in which the Association intends to carry on its operations may be obtain ed by the following extract from the constitution : Extract Sec. 18. The Secretary shull open books for the registration of men seeking employment ami employers seeking labor. He shall further in duce land owners to report such lands as they may be willing to sell through the agency of the Association. Such reports shall give sizool tracts of laud, the condition of the soil, thcoxact de scription of the situation, tho neigh borhood, the facilities for travel, tho water facilities, the price and. condi tion of sale, eto. In short, they vhttll eontaiu such information us is thought necessary to simplify the busiuesa of the Association. . For this purpose the Secretary shall furnish printed blanks containing blank columns for all necessary information und tlexired explanations. These blanks shall be distributed . to parties applying for them, and be returned to tho Secre tary properly filled. Tho Association further proposes, to establish in due time, agencies in such places abroad as may be deemed suitablo and advantageous for our ob jects. Agents shall ho under strict control ot the Association, and shall be furnished by the Secretary, with correct copies of applications for labor and offers of lands for sale. Local agencies will also he established, for the purpose of gathering nil statisti cal information required, for inducing land-owners to oftVr thoir lands for salo in parcels, and finally, for tho purpose of guarding tliono sales Hiid purchases, and contracts between em. ployors -and employees, made under the auspices of the Association, are faithfully curried out. A branch of tho local agency will also procure cheap and good transfor quarters, and boarding for emigrants and prolcut thorn against impositiunsof all kinds. Ho officer or agent of tlio Assooia tion will have tho right to receive any foes for service rendered, from either buyer or seller, employer or employee. If salaries or fees are to ho, paid, it will bo dono by tho Association. Tho people of this grout Stale are identifying themHolvoM moroand more, will) tho idea that emigration of thou sands of industrious and thrifty men is absolutely required. Jiy siding and assisting tho plans of this As sociation, that most desirable object can bo obtained. If landowners, hav ing largo tracts of land laying idle, for which they must pay heavy taxes without yielding any profits, wish to dispose tf a part of their surplus, let thorn make liberal offers to ibis Asso ciation, and an opportunity will coino to sell. In order to enable tho Association to carry" on its business, funds are re quired, and thus wo call on all inter ested in having the tide of emigration direct its cour.so to Tennessee, to lend us their helping hand. Merchants, real estate owners, manufacturers, cap italists, in short, every ono is moro or less diroctly or indirectly interested in sooingour aims aud plans crowned with success. Then, wo call on all who think as wo do, who feel liberally diposod towards onr work, to con tribute each in his way, each aooord. Ing to his capacity, funds to help our operations along. Aboro all, it is tho landowner who must feel nnxlom to dispose of his surplus lands. Let those who bavo large possessions doed to tho Associa tion small tracts, under tho promise that they be settled nnd plaood Diidor cultivation In a given tlmo. Tho As sociation will thon send good lit on to those deedod places and so an induoe. ment will be offered to others of their aeqnalntanoe to ooiuo and kettle around them. Fellom Clheu t Tennewe !

When General Sickles' name wns announced at the monster Union meeting m Philadelphia, on Friday evening, tho choering was intense. On being introduced, he advanced to the railing, ami during his remarks leaned upon his crutches for support. Every word was distinctly heard by the immenso concourse, who frequent ly interrupted him with applause. Ho spoke as follows ; Comrades: I am glad to see too, one and all, and thank you for those expressions of attachment and regard. This meeting recalls the times when the country was. in peril when Holt and Scott were holding Washington tor the inauguration of Lincoln and Cameron was tilling the arsonals I'loydhud omplied; when Stanton, the great war minister of modern times, created the armies that won tho day at Antietnm.Shiloh, Gettysburg, Chat tanooga, Winchester, und llrichmond, Cheers. Wo recall the day when crouching rebellion hold Sheridan's stirrup while be mounted (or bis rido through the. valley, Prolonged shouts. Wo soo Hancock repelling the enemy's hist charge on Cemetery ridge; we see Leo surrender his sword and his army to Gruntr-invincible in the field, trustworthy in council. Yet peace has hor victories also For tho Government is engaged in tho conservative duty of organising loyal civil authority in tlio robol States. Of eourso, this can only bo done by giv ing the right to vote to all tho loyal people in the South. And until loyal State governments nro established Congress must retain control. No oilier means being possible, military ollicors have been sent to execute tho laws of Congress, preserve ordsr, pro tect the loyal peoplo, aud superintend tho formation of State governments. It has boon said that congressional uction and military protection wore tin necessary. Let iis see ahout that for a moment. The Legislature of South Caroliea, in 1865, passed a law, approved by Mr. Perry, the provision al governor, reorganizing tho militia of theStato. By that law any officer of tho militia was authorized in tho exercise of his own discrotinn to call out his command and shoot down, dis perse, kill, mid destroy any assem blage of froed people of color found anywhere under circumstances that, in the opinion of tho olfioor, meant mischief. That, law was suspended by military authority, and Congress prohibited nil such militia, Cheers for Cnngresa and General Sickles. In North Carolina, in 180, a law was passed legalising all transactions of guardians, executor, and trustees, by which tho property of widows and orphan children was turned into con federate money and confederate bonds, and went tn bolster up tbe rebollioo and impoviah tho women and ohildreii tn whom it belonged, . This law was revoked by military authority, A worthy til tarn of Now York, wboaa name is McLaughlin, went to South Carolina soon after too wurand hired an abandoned plantation ffou the Freedinen's Bureau, in whose charge it was placed by law, UeLeughlin planted and raised a crop, when along came the returned rebel who tdoimed the land, had him put in prison until he could find forty thousand dollar bail for trespass, and took poasesaion of the lands and crops. That is a specimen. q( the treat ment Northern sctiUrs would have received in the abaoi.es of tha military protection since given by Congress, n Caswell county, Voflh Carolio, during tho war, a loyal reaitent, wkiU scoping from the enemy's tinea U oil ra, where he afterward did good aervice, took without leave, Ana night, a pieee of bacon for sbsitMU oa lh mam a. When bo return, horn, af ter tie war was arrested, tiled os lte (barge of burglary, and aoutenced to 1 hung, and to pay tbattsta, (LitNgb- lr and cheering.) While be Mas awaiting trial, and finding tho execution f tlta aenlerue, t(ne prisoner ws chained (aside of an iron agonud kept tbera a year, wiikost a blankol avao in wintor. In formation of hia ce having reohed lb military authorities wbn tU case waa undergoing invHligtMn.thGov- erw of North Carolina, in tbe exer cise of power given to him by the military comuianiLjr, pardoned Ihe wau. The coal uvt bavin been paid, on account of the poverty of the poor lellow, lie was conrinoU tor sometime afterward in tho same place, until re. leased by military authority. Jlcreia an illustration ot what mnst nave been the fato of loyal refugees if the Gov ernment had not afforded them aijii. tary protection. Three thousand schools for the edu cation of freed people have been es. tnblished under the protection of our bayonots. Two hundred and filfty thousand colored people attend these schools. ; Nor has our presence aided only our loyal friends, whom we were bound in honor and humanity to pro tect. Assured of Justice, free labor has produced this- year two million; five hundred thousand bales of cotton, and tbe largest crop of grain raised in many years.' The value of this crop in money is more than two hundred millions of dollars. Its value to the population ' of tho South can only be measured by tbe estimate to be put upon their lives, for without it they must have perish ed by famine. And yet, without mili tary protection, the freedmen would have fled from their old masters and sought socurity ami employment in tbe free States Congress did not send us there to compell the rebels to pay the expenses of tho war, as Bis marck would have dono. The north is paying tho costs of the rebellion after winning the victory, and we have boon helping our former adver saries to food and clotho themselves, and to recover from tho rain in which they have involved themselves. The crowd hero became very much exci ted. History may be challenged for another instanco in which vanquished enemies have beer, so gonerously trentod by thoir conquorors. My strength and your patience will not hold out if my remarks be pro longed. Cries of "Go on! wo like to here you," "Don't stop!" I will add ono or two observations, with your intlulgonco, uoioro 1 say "uood night. Comrades! "1 Ins Government is a .Republic, whero tho will of the people is the law of tlio land." This maxim, so full of wisdom and truth, we have from Grant, thogoneral in chief of our armies. iS'o military authority has boon exercised in the rebel Status not. authorized by Congress, and sanct ioned by tlio laws of tlio land. Mili tary forco is there only to execute tho laws. Under military protection loyal civil governments will bo estab lished nnd maintained by ballots put in tho hands of lojaI men. If that could liavo been done ton 3'oars ago we would have bad no-re-. bullion, it wo no it now wo will not have another. Havcno 'fetor that the colored race will not know their friends from their foes. Their hearts, full of gratitudo, will govern thoir conduct as citizens. Loyalty and or der are to them alnvst as oacred as religion. Indeed, tlioy Imlievo their deliverance to bo the work ot I'rovid onco. Safe and trusted at homo limy will contribute vastly to tlio resources of tho nation, and take iiothing away from tho employments or the trau- chiso of any other raeo et' class. V ithin tho sound ot my voico is the spot whero the sublimo truth was proclaimed that "all mon uro treated ii-eo and equal. " Upon their rock our repr.blicnn institutions aro built. No power .can prevail against it. Comrades; 4,et us not lorgot our bravo companions who foil in the war for tho Lnion. 1 Joir shroudless for m lie buried in many a forest and field, like siitiimn leaves. Their name- ess graves nro numbered only by (ho recording anglo. Lot us some times listen to their sad voieos, mourn ful as mulled drums, and heard oven through tho yielding sod. They any to us now, "Brothers, you who are spared, loavo not undone the work we did not live to help you do. -- Tho vast assemblage thon dispersed, with cuiwra for Sboridan, Sickles, and Geary. " t Many timid soul fear tho shook which tbe impeachment and depos ing of President Joussnt mi;; lit givo the country, oun WttKKs, of the New Y(k fyiVtf 6 the Timet, alJays this fears by tho following simple but strong statement. He fays ; "If thj nation, without reeling under tbe sfcotk, could Stand op and survive, aud go on proporly after jhe removal of a good President by the baud of tho ssin, surely it would stand up under the removal of it kad prosidout by tie law." )A gentlemen driviug up to a eoun try inn, acnoatod a youth thus: "My lad, extricate njy oundropod from the vohuilc, stabuUto him, do nate him a suSicioBt an ply of nutri tious alimout, and when tho aurora of morn shall again llluiuimrte tbo ori ental honion, I will award you a pecuniary cntu)eBsaUnn for your ami. ablo hospitality."

NUMBKU 21 IIukkciI against Ills Will. A most ladicrous scene transpire in a plaoe not a 'hundred miles front the city of Louisville, one night last week, whioh, though a little annoy ing to the parties immediately con cerned, was yet so innocent and"1 fun ny, we cannot refrain from giving tho general outlines, suppressing names, of course. - Two sprightly and bountiful yonn ladies were visiting (heir cousin' an other sprightly and beautiful young lady, wmi, like her guests, was of that nappy age which turns everything in to fun and merriment If tba. truth, were told.'.wa fear we should buve'to record the fact that these misses were. just a little bit fast. . They were fond ot practical jokes, and were; oouUip -uafly playing all aorta of pranks with each other. All three occupied a room oa the ground floor, and cuddled pp ., together, in one bed. . . , . Two of the young Indios attended party on the night in anestipn, and did not got home until half-past twelve ut night. As it wus late, they conclud ed not to disturb the houso-hold, o they quietly stopped into their room through the low open, window. In about a half an bour after' they hnd leftforthe party, ayoung Sleth odist minister called at the house where they ware stajing-and craved a night's lodging, which, of course, was cheerfully granted. As miuistera always have the besv of everything, tho old lady put him to sleep in thi i best room, and the young lady (Fan nie who had not gone to the party, was entrusted" with-the duty of sit ting up for tbe absent ones, and of informing them of. the change of rooms, blio took up her post in tho parlor, and as. toe night was sultry, sloop overcame her, and she departed on no excursion to the laud of dreams. Wo will now return to the young ladies who had gono into thojr room through the. window, liy the umi light of tho moonbeams as they strug gled through tho curtains, the youngs ladies were enabled to deijcry the out lino of Fannie as they supposed ensconced in tho ipiddlo of the bed. They saw more, to wit: a pair of boots. TI.e truth fiashod upon thcu at onoo. They saw it" all. lannici i.id sot tho boots In tho room to givo them a good scaro.
