MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 7,
ISP A correal, ondeut of the Nashville
Banner of react sends to (hat paper the
following interesting extracts, which he
has gathered in uii antiquarian re
searches :
The first is from the Christian Agis
ter, published at Antiocb, A. D. 42 :
The infant Church of Antiocb is at
present favored with a visit by those
highly distinguished brethren, Barnabas
and Paul. It would be diflicult to give
an adequate idea of the sensation occa
sioned by the preachinpnnd acts of these
extraordinary men. Multitudes (loci to
bear them, and the Church is already
receiving large accessions through tbeir
ministry. For cogency of reasoning and
power of speech, Antiocb has never
known the like. The peoplo sitentranced,
and seem scarcely able to tell whether
they are men or angels. We would
advise all who have not heard tlifm to
avail themselves of the first opportunity
to see and hear these wonderful raoi.
From tho Athenian Mercury, pub
lished at Athena, Greece, A. D. 61 :
Our city, long so celebrated for letters
and arts, bas been thrown into great ex
citoment during the past faw days. A
Jew, named Paul, a leader of the sect of
the Nazarenes, arrived here recently,
and for several days has becu engaged
in discussions with our philosophers ynd
others whom be met in the mtttket
5 lace; and has also discoursed to the
ews in their synagogue. Yesterday
some of the Epicureans and Stoics en
countered bim, and as he announced the
now and startling doct.ines of his sect,
they brought him to that angost
tribunal, the -Areopagus, where he
might bo beard and judged by
our illustrious judges. His de
fense, if such it might be called, was
the most extraordinary ever heard in this
city. Ho boldly charged upon philoso
phers tho lowest superstition, and pro
ceeded in a strain of eloquence, such as
bas not been beard in Athens since the
days of Demosthenes. His logic is as
severe as that of Aristotle; wbile his
rhetoric is far superior to all that was
ever taught in the school of Isocrates, or
even in that of Gorgias of Leontium. It
would be impossible to describe the
effects produced by this wonderful dis
course oftbis most wonderful man. One of
our mosteminent citizens, Dionysius the
Areopagite, became a convert to the new
faith, and the illustrious lady, Damaris,
and others, also professed the same faith,
etc., etc.
From the Corinthian Mirror, pub
lished at Corinth, A.D. 51:
The distinguished Jew, better known
as Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, is
at this time on a visit to our city. Born
atiXarsuB, in Cilicia; educated in Jeru
salem, under the tuition of the learned
Rabbi, Gamaliel; in early manhood
noted for the zeal with which he perse
cuted the Nazarenes; but afterward mi
raculously converted to that faith which
he once sought to destroy ; he has at
tained a celebrity which might satisfy
the ambition of the most aspiring Greek.
The astounding miracles he has per
formed, and the immortal discourses he
has delivered, have already filled the
world with his fame. While he modestly
disclaims all the arts of speech and the
enticing words of human learning, all who
hear him are wrapt in admiration of this
transcendent genius, and fascinated and
spell-bound with his eloquence., His
'devotion to the cause in which he is
engaged knows no bonnds. Regardless
of the distinctions of life and society, he
is here the guest of Aquila and Priscilla,
two humble Israelites, who were driven
from Rome by the intolerance of Clau
dius Cttsar, and who are here occupied
in the lowly employment of tent makers.
The illustrious Paul, having been taught
this trade in his youth, cheerfully labors
with them. It in obvious to all who
have heard this distinguished man that
HI WAS BORN AN APOSTLE.'
From the same, date A. D. 55 :
The Church of Corinth and our com
munity generally have been recently
electrified by the appearance among us
of a most eloquent Jew named Appolos.
He is a native of Alexandria, but came
to this place from Ephesus, where his
oratory won for him tho highest admira
tion, atid contributed greatly to the in
crease of tho Church. It is said that his
ministry here promises to be equally
successful, especially among the Jews,
whom be is mightily convincing of the
truth of Christianity. Indeed, a large
farty is already gathering around bim.'
t is very seldom that men are pe
mitted to listen to such strains of elo
quence as flow from the lips of this
wonderiul orator, uis voice is ciear anu
of immense compass; at times soft, as the
sigh of an jHolian harp, and at other
times overwhelming as the roar of the
sea. Of noble mien and dignmed ap
pearance, he wins all hearts to bim at
once; but the resistless force of his
eloquence nothing can wnnsiana. m
is a born orator.
You may imagine, my dear Doctor,
what pleasure it affords me to look over
the files of these early and authentic
periodicals. I will not, at this time,
venture to intrude further npon your
columns, or I might furnish equally in
teresting extracts in reference to other
distinguished gentlemen of that day ;
such as Titus, Timothy, etc. ; but I am
persuaded that these extracts will satisfy
you. They are suggestive, and I should
not be surprised if so persevering an an
tiquary as I know you to be should find
in tbem more than I have done. As yet
I have drawa from them two reflections,
Til!
1st. now much embarrassed St Paul
must have been in his ministry, wherever
thoaei naners circulated, and bow un
comfortable be must have felt when he
arose to preach, under the conviction
that the assembly were moat ourious to
bear the man of whom they bad heard
so much, than anxious to receive the
Spirit by whom alone they could be
rcgeneraied and saved. As be was so
great an iconoclast, I wonder he did not
destroy those printing offices, and throw
the forms into pi.
21 How much human nature in the
pineteetith century is like to what it was
in the first! Good nicht ! I find that
some of mrJatt papers have given me

Testimony of the Notorious Ashley.
Tbe following is tho concluding testi
mony before the Impeachment Commit
tee by Ashley. It speaks for itself, and
shows plainly that be had for a long time
made his bed with criminals:
On November 23d, Congressman Ash
ley was examined as the last witness in
the impeachment investigation. He
testified that he had presented to the
Committee all of the evidence that he
could command to sustain the charges
mode ngainst the President; that he did
write a letter dated July 22, 18(17, sug
gesting a pardon for Dunham, alias Con
over, then and now in prison for perjury,
before this Committee; that Messrs.
Kndford, of New York, and Rogers, of
New Jersey, Democratic Congressmen,
also favored Conover's pardon ; that he
(Ashley) had four or five interviews with
Conover while the latter was in jail;
that Conover promised to give informa
tion which would lead to obtaining two
or threo lottera purporting to have boen
written by Andrew Johnson to Jefferson
Davis; that he corresponded with Cono
ver on this subject ; that the letter states
that ho knew of a letter written by the
President, which would implicate Mr.
Johnson in the assassination of Lincoln,
but that he (Ashley) looked upon the
statement as too vogue and that it was
never worked up.
Q. Have you not slated to members of
Congress that you had evidence implica
ting the President in Mr. Lincoln as
sassination ?
A, No; not evidence in my possession.
I may have said that I had statements
made in writing and otherwise by this
man, which induced me to believe that
I may have said that.
Q Have you ever brought the evidence
on which you believe it before this Com
mittee? A. No, sir. I have spoken to mem
bers of the Committee about it; I have
had no evidence which I regarded as
valid. It was an isolated statement here
and there, and not sufficiently Strong to
warrant me in pressing it.
Q. Then you say you had no evidence
aguinst Mr. Johnson which you consid
ered valid T ,
A. Yes; I bad no evidence which I
regarded as sufficient before a jury to
convict a criminal.
Q. By Mr. Eldridge I repeat the ques
tion whether you have not told members
of the House of Representatives that you
had evidence in your possession which
satisfied you that Mr. Johnson bad taken
part-or was implicated in the assassina
tion of Mr. Lincoln?
A. I have said that I believed that
from all I was able to gather during this
investigation that Mr. Johnson had a
guilty knowledge of the assassination.
Q. You have said that before. I repeat
the question as I put it before, and I want
an answer to it speciucaliy.
Ashley Have I not answered?
Eldridge No, sir; I think not. I re
peat the question.
Ashley I had not that kind of evi
dence which would satisfy tbe great
mass of men. esnecially the men woo do
not concur with me in my theory about
it I have always believed that if resi
dents Harrison, Taylor and Buchanan
were poisoned, and poisoned tor the ex
nresa nurnoso of Duttinir Vice-Presidents
in the Presidential office. In the first
two instances it was successful. It was
Rttemnted with Mr. Buchauan and failed
It succeeded with Taylor and Harrison.
Then Mr. Lincoln was asBassinaloa, and
from my standpoint I could c;aie to a
conclusion to which impartial men hold
ing dilferent views could not come. It
would not amount to legal evidence.
Mr. Ashley then proceeded to testify
that bo never submiltod any eviuence,
nor had he made any charge that Air,
Johnson was imnlicated in the assassina
tion plot. He adds, in concluding his
evidcuce, that be paid Sanford Couover's
wife somo money lor protessional ser
vices in obtaining witnesses.
Letter from Gen. Thomas Swing, Jr.
We find in the Leavenworth (Kansas)
Commercial a terse and pointed letter of
General J nomas bwing, jr., upon the
political situation. It is addressed to
i . , ti . . r t jr
Uoi. u. A. Dasseir, oi Lawrence, nansas,
and is as follows:
Washington, November 18, 1S17,
Dear Colonel: I have your letter of
tho 10th instant, advising me ot tbe
formation of Grant clubs by many of
our comrades in ivanBas, and asking my
opinion of the movement.
I earnestly wish to be in accord with
the great ptrty of my Kansas and army
friends, and still nope to unite witn them
in supporting Ueneral Orant for fresi-
dent But I want first to know whether
he approves the reconstruction measures ;
for if he doos I cannot support him I
regard them as mischievous begot of
revenge, misdirected philanthropy, and
lust of power. I would as soon expect a
house to stand on the crater of a living
volcano as a State, where whites and
blacks being nearly equal in numbers,
the whites are proscribed, and the blacks
made rulers. Such a government can
not long have the heartfelt sympathy of
any large body of white men anywhere.
Blood is thicker than water, and North
ern whites will sympathize with Southern
whites in their struggle to shake off the
incubus of negro rule. It tLire were no
prejudice of race to affect their action,
the Northern people would still refuse to
reproduoe in the States of the Union
Hayti or San Domingo, or any other
government and civilisation tbe. negro
rare has established since the flood.
To punish the Southern whiles for their
treason, tho Northern people might pos
sibly for a time be willing to afflict them
with such governments; but self interest
forbids it. It were like tbe fabled war of
the belly and the members. The North
already groans under the punish,
ment being inflicted on the South, and
most, besides, pay for the whip. Tbe
negro governments, when formed, must
be propped np by Northern bayonets;
and, however costly, they can never
safely be withdrawn. When recon
structed, each one of thoae States will be
like a magazine all secure while care
fully guarded outside, but when left un
guarded a chance spark will blow it and
all about it to the dcfil.
Entertaining these views, I would not
support any candidate for the Presidency
who indorses tho reconstruction mea
sures, eves if they were lawful, still less as
I consider them wholly unconstitutional,
and full cf danger as precedent.
I write you thus explicitly, because I
value yonr good opinion, and want Toe
to know how I think and feel and meat
to act on the stupendous questions which
lie around and before tie.
Yours, failhful'y, Thou. Ewisg, Jb, '
