II. Manning, of Cahaba, Alabama, has
written a vigorously. abusive letter 70 sthe
editor of the Nashville CTennl) Democrat
We e1traetas follows.
As something has been said IN the pa
pers Of your State about North Alabama,
in this revolution, going OF with Tennes-
see, !. and all here, say we would like TO
SEE her try il. We can bring her right at
the point of the bay0net, and II Tennessee
symPathiEesiW with her, Yeean conquer her
too. Sueh PEOPLE as yours could not stand
= q. m0mentaga INST the ehiVA ronS and brave
population of South Alabama and Missis-
sippi. More than this-if any of your
j Eennesseeans come down here expressing
their Union sentiments, we intend to treat
them 70 n dress of tar, ornamented with
( feathers, to 20 home in. If our country
+! d67not furnish you market for your meat,

4 TO starvation and Bankruptcy in less than
1 twelve months. We were willing to sus-
tain you aud trade with you, but your own
action had reduced Iod 70 the lowest pitch
/ OF degradation, and fordids our c0uutenan-
cling you any longer. After all. III Is hap

The editor OF the Democrat makes "a
spirited reply, from which we take the
following, as being nertinepl to the fore.

North Alabama is true to the Govern
ment of our fathers. They stood side by
side with the noble sous OF Teunessee in
all our struggles on the field. we are at
tached 10 them, they are our brothers;
they glove free government, aud Tennessee
could not stand an idle spectator, and see
such noble patriots slain because of their
patriotism. They know their friends-
mAny Of them are5 our gStati6es. While
Tennessee might not, AZ STATE, take any
part in such struggle, il would be i'm
possible to prevent our citizens from GO
ing TO the aid of their oppressed brethren.
VIZ publish an article from the 4. Y.
Post, which probably, more than any other
that has yet appeared, indicates the feeling
of the conservative sentiment in that lat
itude relative to the present difficulty about
Fort sumpter. The Cincinnati Gazette
has a forcible article, expressing substnh-
TALLY the same impulseas that 6fthe Posts,
but taking a somewhat different view or
the peenliarities of the case. Says the
GdzaE:
1t is not to be doubted, that whatever
may he said on tho score Of exnediency
the people generally of the North will look
upon the movement an act. Of humiliation
on the part Of the Government, and they
will hardly become reconeilsd 70 the policy,
unless future events shall fully compensate
for this eonceasion 10 the demands of the
revolutionists. ss--s1F =.
On tbeiWbOlsTthe Gazette thinks that
possible good may come of the surrender,
hnmiliatiug as 1t will be, to the cause of
Union. '5'i y
The National EHtstligeneer thinks that:
In making such a concession to the cause
OF eonciliation and the preservation of the
public peace, the Federal Government will
strengthen itself in the hearts OF the peo-
pie Throughout all the States in which n
spirit OF apprehension now prevails.
