Tba writer oftkia eaa go back la memory to tka day when wkat was called tka "New Ccnstitntloa" of Connecticut which Tared tka laat link between tka Church aad tka State was adopted. Tka scene waa one sever to be forgotten. Up to that period tka church was the towa-koaas of New Ea-glacd. Ihe body of tka edifice waa filled with an excited mafs of eitixena, diTided Into angry partiea.

The relator a truant from school sat upon the lowest step of tka palpi! stairs, balf frightened at Ike confusion. Upon tke upper platform, at the an trance of tke pulpit, stood tke minister of tka pariah, kia eyea ia flame, hie distorted, and kia accents like tkoae of a Pythoresa, denouncing tka nnkoly act about to be committed. Be condemned ita authors ia tka same of God. He warned, ke prophesied, and ke threatened tkreataaed tke Teageaace of tha Almighty, and tka undying bate of kis ministers. He would resiat; ke would labor to undo tke wrong ka would transmit tka missies af destroying tke work of tkat day as a legacy to kia succeesprs and his posterity and would "die la tke last ditch" so ke said la tka warfare to which, from thence, ka stood devoted.

These promisee kara been kept, and witk com pound iatereet hare tke reprerenlativea of tkai elergy repaid tke debt in tkat day contracted. They axe now tke leaders ia tka progress of American ideas Ike true parents of every political measure aad movement. Ia looking te tke religions press of tke tims as tka beat iadex of tke policy of tke party ia power, wa bare never fbaad on retires mistaken. Tka coarse which they indicate shew tka line ia which tka movement ia to occur; of the future so fa aa it ia todepend upon party action tkey are tka moat truly prophetic We, therefore, copy from tke American FrtibyU-rian, tka follow is paragraph and commend it to all whom it may concern, as at one a pledge and a prediction "Should wet therefore, admit tke colored man to tke right of citixenship, what Would be involred In tkat concession 1 Not merely tka extension of a right to bim which kas long been allowed to a race no worthier, no loftier in mental qualifications, na fitter by birth Bad early associations for the privilege than ke; but tha introduction into our political combinations of an element heretofore so difficult to find calculated to antagonise the deadly influence of the Irish Catholic vote.

And any attempt on tke part of politicians, to use the onoe formidable weapon of tke Irish Catholic vote for objects manifestly injuri ous the principles of republicanism, or to the advantage of the Papal Church in this country, would instantly rally tke votes of tke colored citii.es of tke country on tka side of freedom and of Protestantism. In allowixg tke colored maa to vote, therefore, nothing ia ssenficed but prejudice, while real strength would be added to tka cause of Protestantism and true Republicanism. Indeed there may be a time when, la the struggle witk Popery, which many look for in our land, we shall keenly feel our need of tka very aid which we are now considering whether we will admit into our ranks or aotJ 31 r.

Wednesday forenoon the train over the Memphis Branch Railroad, from Clarks-ville to Bowling Green, waa thrown off th track, a mile and a half this side of Allena-ville, by the removal of a rail, then, fired into by a gang of eighteen guerrilla under Captain Tom Morrow.

The outlaw called upon the guards and passengers to surrender, all the time firing recklessly into tha cars. The guards, eight in number, formed in line, and, with a number of passengers, returned the fire, making tke guerrilla keep at a safe distance. Two of tko soldier were wounded, one, it is thought, mortally. Morrow and three of kia men were several wounded. Tke guerrillas were forced to retire from tho road without having accomplished their ob ject, tko plundering of the train.

It re- quued several hours to get the ears oa th track again. Tba trameud not arrive at Bowling Ureea until dark, and of course, missed connection witk tke trains for this city.

Wihiw. Aaril, Henry Lee. Colonel ia tko Rebel Army Daring the War for American ladepeadeacet Father of Geaeral KebertE. Lee, of Tirgiala. A every thing relating to tha family of General Robert E.

Lee will be read with interest, a brief sketch of Colonel Henry Lee, bia father, will not be deemed out of place. Dr. Caldwell, Gen. Greene's Chief Surgeon, during tho campaign of 1781, says tkat Colonel Henry Lee was born in Westmoreland County, Tan in the year 17M, and descended from the most distinguished branch of tha Leea of tkat State. He possessed the lofty genius of bis family, united to invincible courage and firmness, and all the noble enthusiasm of the warrior.

General Charles Lee, who was, beyond question, a competent judge of military talent, averred that Henry Lee was born a soldier. General Oreene pronounced bim the Eye of the Southern army, and to his counsels gave the most implicit, constant and unbounded confidence. In tha hour of difficulty, was dsnger to be averted, was prompt exertion necessary to eut off supplies, harass the enemy, or pursue kim to destruction, to no ona did ko so- often turn as to Harry Lee. But kis ardor, brilliancy, and daring resolution, constituted but a part of bis military worth. Ia him the Bwroe imawtooeity' of JOUth waa finely blended witk tho higher and more temperate qualities of age.

If ke bad in bia temperament something of the electrical fire of Achillea, it wa ennobled by the polished dignity Hector, and repressed aad moderated by the wisdom of Nestor. For vigilance, intelligence, decision of character, skill ia arms, a spirit of enterprise and power of combination, Harry Lee had but few equal. Youthful as he was in the ar mies of hi country, as an omcer or borse and a partisan commander, perhaps he had no superior on earth. That ko waa justly entitled, say Dr. Caldwell, to this encomium, appears aa well from the extensive catalogue of bis exploits, aa from the kigk confidence always reposed in him by tka commanding officer under wkom ka served.

This Is no less relation to Washington than to Greene. He waa the intimate friend and confidant of both. The sentiments of General Greene witk regard to kim are forcibly expressed in tke following extract of a letter dated February 18, 17H2: am more indebted te this officer than to any other for the advantages gained over the enemy, in the operation of the last campaign, and should be wanting fn gratitude not to acknowledge the importance of his services, a detail of which is kis best panegyric." To portray tke meteor-like course of kardikood and exploit of Colonel Harry Leo would constitute a picture rick in admiration and delight to the lovers of bravery and romantio adventure. Never was an officer better suited to the times in which be lived, and tha situation in which it was hi fortune to act. For stratagems, unlooked-for enterprises against tke enemy, and devices for concealing his own position and movements he had no rivaL Colonel Lee waa twice married.

His first wife waa a Miss Grime, of Westmoreland County. By this marriage he bad two children, Henry Lee and a daughter. His son, an officer in the War of 1812, who waa wounded severely at tha battle oT Bridge water.about thecloee of the las century, Colonel Lee, married a Miss Carter, by whom be had five children, two dsughters, Anna and Mildred, and three sons; tke sons were; Charles Carter Lee, of Goochland County, Virginia; Robert Edmund Lee, the present General, and Sidney Smith Lee, the last named aa officer ia tho Confederate Navy. Claries Carter Lee, tha eldest son by tho second marriage, waa born in tha year 1802; Robert Edmund Lee, born in 1803- Sidney Smith Lee, in 1821. Such is a brief sketch of the Lees, a family whose kistory is a part of the history of the country.

pacial Inopatck to th. Cincinaati Gaaatta.1 Caiao, April The following is tke Memphis Bulletin' Account ef th disaster: The steamer Sultana, Captain Mason, arrived from New Orleans last night, tha 26 th, with about 2,200 people on board, 1,964 of whom war exchanged Federal prisoner from Yickaburg, the balance being refugees and regular passenger from various point the -river, proceeding toward St. Leuis. She left tho coal-pU about one o'clock this morning, and had xoad soma sight a tea miles, wkea an explosion ef one of ker boiler occurred Tho boat, with its mass of living freight, took fire ia the vicinity of tho engines, and ia. a short time aha was baraed to tke water, aad now lies oa a -aeax Fogleman's Landing, nothing visible bat her charred remain aad Jackstaff standing erect.

Th scene following the explosion was ter-ribble aad heart-rending ia the extreme. Hundreds ef people were blown into tke and descending iate the water, some dead, sua with broken limbs, some resided, were borne under tke resistless current of the great river, never to rise again. The survivors represent tke scream as agonising beyond precedent. Some clung to frail pieces of the wreck, a drewning men cling te straws, and sustained themselves for a few momenta, but finally became exhausted and sunk. Only tke best of Swimmers, aided by fragments of tke wreck, were enabled to reach tho woods, and there take refuge, until rescued by boat seat from tke landing here to their assistance.

There were about fifteen women and children aboard, aad as near as eaa be ascertained, not-more than two or three kad been found at the time wkea this account was written. Some of tke wretched people were borne by the current aa far down aa the levee of this city, and this was the first intimation the officers ef th boats in port received of the terrible disaster. A yawl was immediately sent out from the Marble City, and in a few minutes several persons were picked out of the water and brought ashore. Two were afterward found clinging to the wheel, and they were also saved. Upon being brought to a realisatica of the calamity, tho officers of tke boats in port, under notification of Captain 8enior, of the River Guard, steamed up, and ta a abort time were at the burning steamer, where hundreds of people were picked up and brought to this landing, arriving about daylight.

They were met by a number of cititens and ladiea, who supplied them with abundant of dry clothing from the Quartermaster' Department and from various stores. At this time it it impossible to give a correct statement of the cause of be accident, and number or names of the lostnd saved. Every thing Is in the greatest enn fusion. Mr. Rawberry, the first mate, wa on tha watch, and standing in the pilothous with Captain George Clayton, who was at the wheel at the time of the explosion.

He oily remembers the shock, tkat he waa blown it. ato the air, and waa afterward taken from the water. He saw the lower deck- in flames and know no more. Ho can give no idea of the cause of tke accident, and says tko I boat was going at ordinary speed, and all seemed well np to the moment the explosion occurred; that tho Second Engineer, a sober, I reliable maa named Clemens, was st ths en-j giaea, and that nothing more tkan common waa in progress. Captain Cayton was also hurled into tho wreck among the broken boiler and rubbish, sustaining slight injuries.

Ho immediately jumped overboard i with a door, by which he wa enabled to reach the Arkansas shore, three miles be-i low, where, striking a sapling, ke seixed and i clung to it until saved, Clemens, tke engineer, was badly burned i and scalded, and can hardly recover. Mr. John Foglemaa, residing on the Arkan- saa aide, on being aroused by the noise and i atrabtedf VruoanrafT, tnTs" wa, "Ull the means of saving about one hundred lives. In the woods, among the drift of the I wreck, tho officer of the Rose Hambleton, found a family Bible, containing the records of a family named Spikes, of i Parish, Louisiana. The names recorded are Samuel D.

Spike and Elethia Spike, married October 81, 1837. Tke record shows there were twelve ia tbo family. It wa subse-I quently learned that the father, mother, three daughtere, two brothers, and a niece were lost. Several of tho bodies were recovered. This family had 17,000 in gold, all of which was lost.

Th steamer Boston a No. 2, Captain Watson, waa coming down stream from Cincinnati when the explosion occurred, and rendered valuable assistance, saving many lives. The Pocahontas, Silver Spray, Marble City, the gunboat Essex, Rose' Hambleton, and others, also rendered much eervioe. At the time of the explosion, Captain Mason had retired from watch, and was in bed. He was afterward seen throwing shutters and doors to tha assistance of people in th water, and here all traces of him vanished.

Clerks Gamble and Stratton are also missing. Ths Sultana was officered as fallows: Msater, J. C. Mason First Clerk, W. J.

Gamble Second Clerk, Wm. Stratton; Pilots, George Cayton and Henry Inrrham; Engineers, Nathan Wintengerand Clemens West: Mate, William Rowberry: Steward, Henry Cross. George Cayton and Wm. Rowberry were the only officers known to be saved, except Clemens, who is almost dead. The body of Wm Cruddes, Co.

1st Virginia Cavalry, from Wheeling, Va was found. He had taken the precaution to label himself. Among the soldiers on board were 3U com missioned officers. The troops were of various regiments, and nearly all exchanged prisoners. They belonged principally to Western regiment.

At the hour of writing only 500 or 600 person bad been saved. Not less than one thousand live were burled into eternity by thi most wonderful of all river disasters. Hon. W. D.

Consequently the reporters and editors of Cairo are not indebted to this at earner for the following particulars of the most appalling steamboat disaster that perhaps ever occurred After considerable delay, your correspondent kas obtained a detailed account of tho blowing up of tho steamer Sultana and a shocking loss of Life. Th Memphis liullftim publishes a statement by Mr. D. Snow, TJ. a Senator from Arkansas, wkick la aa fallows: Oa tke morning of the 27th, about 3 o'clock, I waa awakened by a sensible tremor or shudder passing over tho boat, but heard bo explusion.

Not antieipatiag such a terrible eoaseqaeace, I arose and deliberately dressed. Just before finishing dressing I became aware of a large volume of steam being driven through the cabin by tha wind. I opened tko door of my state-room, and ia aa ia stent realised tke herror -ef tho fact that the boiler kad exploded, killing aad scalding many; thai the pilot-house, and at least one-third of the cabin-roof, had fallen ia that the boiler-deck aad boat were oa are, with a fresh breese carrying th flames witk lightning-lite rapidity through tke balance of the cabin, toward tha ladies' saloon. I stepped back to avoid the heat, and danaded myself of my dress, except my paata aad vest, aad rushed aa the rear of the boat, wkich was ia the channel and much nearer, the Tenneeaee thaa the Arkansas aide. I looked over toward the Tea esse aide with a view of leaping, but found it a sea of heads, so close together I that it was impossibls to jump without kili- ing one or more.

I determined to try the Arkansas share, which was about three-quarters of a mils distant. I passed over i several bodies of dead men, killed and I trampled in the mad rush which must have occurred some moments prior to my auveni on that part of the boat. I found tha same sea of heada on that aide, but discovered that the flames had driven them from tha vicinity oi the wDeei-nouse, ana Dy getting a cios a possible to an open place to leap in. Prior to leaping I saw several husbands fasten life-preservers to their wives and children, and throw them overboard into the struggling msss below. I struck out for the Arkansaa shore, and reached a log lodged in fifteen feet of watec among the overflowed cotton-wood land.

At tea loiautea to four, by my watch, which had not ceased to run, after four hours of exposure I was rescued by tho steamer Silver Spray. The Sultana contained 2,175 souls. The density with which they were packed had awakened my curiosity, and I looked over with the Clerk his certificate and books before retiring. This number included eighty-five hands employed on the boat. There were some females, beside a few children.

The bulk of the passengers were returned prieoners from Andersonville, which place they left on the 17th of last February. Among them were tho remnant, at that point, of the prisoner captured at Chickamauga and Gettysburg. They numbered altogether 1,966 men and 35 officers. A large number of horses were on the boat, which providentially became unresisting victims to the flames. Had they broken loose, the fate of the swimmers would have been determined within two hundred yards of the boat.

As near as can be estimated without other data than observation, between, two and three hundred reached the bank, while about an qual number floated down the Stream oa onors and furniture. A dense estimated at about 500, took refuge oa the bun v. whii the flame wer driven aft by tho few moment afterward the wheel-houses, loosened by tho concussion and flames, fell off outward, and tho boat turned stern upstream, reversing tho The largest part of this number must then have perished, as they had no' material at hand to throw over to sustain themselves, except a few bales of bay, which wore immediately seised on the turning of tho boat. The gng planks were thrown overboard, but sank at once under their living freight, and rose too far out of reach for moot Tho yawl-boat wa launched, bottom up, from tho hurri- evls of those below, and afforded a support for bf lew in ma condition. The whole time before the boat was an entire sheet of flame, could not have exceeded twenty minutes.

CiiABLarrox, S. April 23, l.Vi.". The story, so often and industriously circulated by the rebel newspapers of Charleston, that the city did not suffer much from the long and persistent shelling of the Yankees in that harbor, may be ranked as among the most glaring of the fearful number of falsehoods for which they were notorious. The first feeling a stranger experiences, on entering the city, is one of extreme desolation. Every-where there ia unmistakable evidence of tke dreadful work dona by tko Yankee firing.

That part of tha city known as ''down town," which was nearest within range of our batteries on Morris Island, is almost a eompleta wreck. There ia scarcely a house which has not been perforated more or less by shelL In some instances, the entire end or front of the house where the deadly missiles struck, is torn away. The windowa in nearly every house are shattered, so that scarcely a whole pane of glass rem sin s. It wccld be difficult to designate the "burned district" of Charleston, for there are few portions of it which, do not give evidence of having been visited by confla-. grations.

Some of them arer of course, more extensive than others. 'The great fire which occurred in 186 did. the greatest havoc. It broke out ia tha heart of tha city, aad the track of ita deeolatiqg Waste ia atill to be seen in the square upon squares of rule wkich remain as they wer left standing by the devouring element. No attempt seems to have been made by" the Charles-tonians to "build again the waste piaoea" made by the fire, nor even to clear away tha rubbish.

They evidently had no heart for the work; besides most of the district was "down town," and, of course, subject to the fire from the Yankees, which rendered it unsafe for any working parties. There re many other parts of the city, however, where large fires occurred, partly caused by tke shelling, partly the work of incendiaries, and partly ei accident. whole presents a most dismal, desolated appearance, and impresses yeu with the idea that a grand attempt waa made to destroy the satire city by fire, Another thing that contributes to the desolate appearance of tho city, is tho large number of stores and dwellings which still remain closed. So faatas tke storesare concerned, this is not quite so prevalent! jus now as it was wkea our forces, entered tke city still, in what was the business portion of the city, where tho wholesale stores were, there is very little appearance of life or activity. Tke streets are comparatively deserted, except by our soldiers, wko garrison tho place, sad by negroes.

The grave of the great secessionist is now la possession of the Although accessible to all visitors, there has been 'no desecration of tha tombstone aor any disturbing of tke surroundings. In a bold band, ia pencil, some visitor kas inscribed tha following A Massachusetts man and an Abolitionist abhors the desecration of this tomb;" and In another place, "Respect ourselves, if wo do not him who lies beneath this tomb." The Parisiaa rulers of fashion have decreed that the female dress of the Empire shall be brought into full fashion this sam-mer. Already ahopa and saloons discover the queer-looking Utile half-bat bonnets of th day of Napoleon and there are dresses to be eeen with very, very lew waists, which will reveal more than we have seen of the ladies for many years ia society.

Spring has at last com te us ia veritable guise soft, breexes and sunny skies ia striking contrast te the dry branches of tha trees, which, at this season, are generally eewerea with a deHcate, gatrry vail of green. The wonderful "horse-chestnut tree," which, from time immemorial, clad itself in a aew garb ea th 20th day ef March without fail, i nearly three weeks behind time. freak leaves have just fully coma forth to-day; oven yesterday it hesitated, although encouraged ky fir day ef good weather, In harmony with the season, th hop are filled with th loveliest thing imagmablo; th most superb silks, at prices whiek mast satisfy tka prid of th very SBobbiss of snobs, th shoddiest of shoddy charming bonnets, elegant pardessus, exqaiait parasols, wonderful crinolines; all are -set forth in array so tempting as to charm tho moat reasoaabl ef frail womankind into extra, agances. A handsome silk dress, with Bailable mantle, is a mere item among a thoa-sand others ia a lady's outfit, and then it costs a great deal of precious time to brlns; about a proper harmony la a toilette; thi ia admitted' by every one. To this difficulty, a great amount of wisdom aad taste has been expended, and a great desideratum attained.

It only ncessaryta enter a first-rate Parisiaa shop to find every thing "to hand." Think of it, a rich waits ailk petticoat, witk a band of embroidery ia arabesque at about eight inches above the edge; a blue (Mexico) ailk skirt, embroidered ia like manner, and looped op at every eeem, witk tho lappel which form the trimming, over tha petticoat; a long Spanish vest and paletot, of the same color as the skirt th dress with embroidery to match, all for $300; a mere song, it is evident to the merest looker on. A heavy black silk of the same Style can be had for J2tI0. Stripe silks are very much worn, the stripes being about half aa inch wide. Many of these dresses are mad in patterns a petticoat ia whiohtho stripes are continued on the red, blue, or violet ground, forming-the edge, tho dress proper being finiahed with a wavy design of tha same tint, with a flowery imitation of a knot of ribbons, at intervals, forming tha Lead. These dresses are looped up with bands, which are attached to tho petticoat, and are buttoned under tho dress whea tke -skii ts is lowered.

The price of the dresses 1 is A material much worn here is one called "roil de chevre." A new variety, called the "ublime," Is the latest fashion. They are njtich trimmed with a silk piece, forming a fourth of the skirt, put on plain, with a cowered cord at the bottom. All dresses are worn "gored." The seams are frequently trimmed. A very pretty dress is ono of simple black and wkite checkered silk, with all the seams and the lower edge of tha skirt trimmed with rushes of black or ool-ored silk, or simple quilling of ribbon. Sit eves are worn almost close at the hanaL K)rith an epaulette formed of trimming to correspond with that on th skirt.

The latest novelty, and one which must send through all shoddy a thrill of delight, it gold and silver crinolines 'Thompsona-improved," covered with gold or silver arlr Nothing can be imagined more ta separate the elite from the common herd, it should be the addition of fastenings at all imptfsiAU-Precious stones, and It is aot tained, when woeousadbi. noint may be at-ress tho world i making. Outer garments are worn short, out nr-tight to the figure. A very pretty and genteel toilette Oaesa who like to spend money need not read "la part) is a black and white striped silk, mora black than white a sort of mixed ground for ths stripe to run dowa on; mV? wltM a full kirt, colloped oa th edge and -with black eilk; the baaqnine BfP match. This mode was worn last year, bat is groat favor at present, a a ever was.

Bonnet will probably bo worn very maah the same shape as during tho winter, only rather smaller that is to say, covering merely tha head, leaving room for a fui ehow of hair, which is gathered higher the back. A letter from a friend tells aaa that the ladies in New Tork tie their bonnet-strings behind the ears. You could not la-duco a Parisian so to offend against art im tha present form, which is merely a fracas for the face. The eccentrio form which I do-scribed in a fate letter will net take just yet, but it ia likely that it will come in la tha autumn. Tho fashion for round hat will roeombia) those of the winter, with a differe.

Tha low round-crowied will have a narrow border at the Bide, enlarging toward th freest and back. All varieties of pork-pie, -wp epeak more elegantly, MarieTu.dor stylos, remain in full vigor.

A bunch of flowers, with a bird or a butterfly perched -among the leaves and fastened with a favar of black velvet ribbon trimmed with tL is very tame compared to ths shells, aad bends, and feathers, and furbelow wkiea were then thought indispensable. Bonnets of black and white tulle, eat- broidered with steel, jet, gilt, pearL or transparent beads, are worn in every Imaginable fashion, and are very pretty.
