Firing on a Railroad Train.

Information was received here last weel
that on Tuesday, a railroad train having
soldiers on board from the South, on thei
way to Virginia, unarmed, was fired on by
Union men at Strawberry Plains, Jefferson
county The Knoxville Register is furnished
10y witnesses of the occurrence with the fol
lowing version of the affair:
The train, having on board two companie;
of unarmed volunteers from Allah ma, wa:
compelled to wait several hours at the Straw
berry Plains station, for the down train &c
pass. While waiting there many of the citi
zens mingled with them, and told them Of the
Union meeting TO be held in the vicinity
Some of the soldiers who had been drinking
freely at the grocery near the station, made
threats to tear down the Union flag, which
was flying from house in the town. The
officers of the company Immediately placed
the soldiers making the threat under guard
and endeavored aud succeeded in preventing
any demonstration that could disturb the
peace of the neighborbood, until the train
started. A drunken soldier upon one OF the
Cars, as they passed The place of the Union
meeting, threw a brickbat at the crowd who
lined tie road, but failed to bit any one, upon
which some one in the crowd fired gun al
him. The shot was returned by revolver
from the train, whereupon the Union men at
once opened fire upon the train with hear
half hundred riffs and perhaps as many re-
volvers. The first shot, our informants con-
cur in saying, was fired by the Union men,
The armed Unionists were not assembled at
the meeting, where they ought TO have heen,
listening peaceaby to the speaking. but were
waiting near the railroad, with guns chcked
and pointed, for the purpose of provoking a
disturbance with the passing troops. The
commanders of the troops had ordered their
flags and drums to be taken in. and that no
d monstration be made while p ssing the
Union meeting calculated To disturb it.
The g ntlrmen who communicate these
facts are truthful and reliable-one of them
himself Union man.
That no one WIS hurt upon the train thus
savagely assaulted, seems providential. We
learn that the cars fir, d At snow abundant
bullet marks. This affair is .eizpd upon by
the leaders OF the Union party, and present
ed in such light as to exasperate the Union
men elsewhere, with the hope of precipitat-
Ing East Tennessee into civil war. Railroad
tracks and bridges. it is minated, will be
demolished. If this menace is put into exc
cutIon, or if bl Jod he'd is the result of heir
incendiary TEACHINGS these leaders ought TO

accountability.

For the Daily Patriot.
Information wanted for the People,


MEssRs. EDIroRs Il sometimes come in
contact with Union men, or those who are
determined to stick to the Federal Govern
meut, let the consequences De what they may.
They deny that Tennessee, or any other State,
has the right to withdraw from the Union.
Now, contend that any State has this priv
ilege when she is oppressed, and the rights
guaranteed by the Constitution are denied
her, and especially after repeated efforts and
remonstrances, she cannot have her grievan-
ces redressed. To say that State shall re-
main in the Union and bear her wrongs,
whether she is willing or not, would be most
tyrannical and inconsistent with they very
first principles of a Republican form of gov
eminent. Every American, at this day, jus,
titles the war of the Revolution. And why
did our forefathers revolt? Why, it was be-
cause they were oppressed by the British
Government, just as the South is now oppres-
sed by the North. This is an invincible ar.
gument, if the people can only be convinced
that such is the fact.
l think, Mr.. PATRIOT. you would be doing
a good service to many honest people in the
South, and in the North. too,-if there are
any honest people there-if you would pub
lish, in detail, all the grievances which the
South has endured for years. 1 believe there
is honesty among the people. and all they
want is to be properly informed on this sub
ject. Let the people see that the South has
not taken such an important step without
just cause. j. r. B.

The Election SatuI day.

We publish bel. W all the returns OF the
election. Saturday,, received up to the hour
of putting cur paper to press Aeagre as
they are, they indicate very cOnclusiVely ise
result, an overwhelming victory for the cause
of Independence. The estimates, previous to
the election, generally placed the majority in
the entire Stats at from $4,000 to 10000;
but the vote conced d to the opposition falls
short at every point received so far, and au-
tborizes the opinion that the maj 'riry will
reach $4,000. The vote has evidently been
full one.
We hope the result will satisfy the most
skrptieal that it is not the political leaders.

x entucky.

: We read letter yesterday from a Ken
lucky Union III IN to d relative in this place
He offers number of reasons why Kentucky
should maintain a position OF neutrality,
which 1t is not necessary for Us to recount;
but he declares that if driven from that DO
sItiOn, and compelled to take sides, he will
go with the South. There are thousands of
patriotic men in Kentucky who will follow
bis example; but We apprehend that there are
other thousands who contemplate betraying
her into the hands of the Philistines. Those
whose sympathies are really with the South
should beware lest they be compelled TO sub
NIT to the degrading fate which has overtaken
their brethren OF Maryland. In a contest OF
this kind, it is impossible to remain neutral.
Just as soon as the Lincoln government have
perfected their plans for the invasion of
Tennessee, they will attempt to send their
armies through kentucky, and then, it may
be impossible for her to avoid succumbing to
their authority, however indignant she may
be at the violation of the neutrality of her
soil. The interests of Kentucky are with
the South. Let her not wait for the develop
ments of the future, but embrace her true
friends and share their fortunes.

Election for Members of Congress,
President and Vice President.

We have bad occasion recently 10 look to
the law passed at the extra session of our
Co ,gress for The election of members of Con-
gress and President and Vice President. We
find that the act providing for the perman'- mt
organization of the Government requires
that all those States in which no provision
has been made for the election of members of
Congress under the new Constitution, an
election shall be held on the first Wednesday
in November neyt, at which time tn election
of electors for President and Vice President
shall also be held. The electors are required
to meet in their respective States on the first
Wednesday in December thereafter and pro-
coed to cast their votes for President and
Vice President.
The members who may be elected, and the
Senators TO be chosen by ttA States, shall as
semble at the Seat of Government of the
Confederate States on the 18th day of Febru-
airy, 1852, and proceed respectively TO the
election of Speaker of the House aud Presi-
deLt of the Senate. On the 18th day of Feb
ruary the President of the Senate shall open
the certificates, the votes shall then be count
ed, and the President inaugurated on the 22d
day of February 1862. Alabama having no
law contravening the act of Congress, the
election of members OF Congress will take
place in this Stat. the frat Wednesday in No

the opinion be expresses in the closing para.

light as to the causes of the revolution now
in progress. We fear there is no way of en-.
tightening them. They are like the men Of
old who would not believe in the deluge
even when the ark was completed, and the
windows of Heaven were opened. and the
floods of rain were descending. 1t is of no us
now 10 preach TO such men. Their rights and
our rights have been invaded; by the time
the revolution is accomplished we presume
they will b gin to understand the cause. We
shall await the event patiently. In the mean

SOUTHERN INK.-The Augusta Chronicle and
of small manufactures is Printers Ink AT
glance il might seem unimportant, but it
is not so. Printers Ink rules the civilized
nations. Without it the dark ages would
rapidly come again-might makes right; and
the rational liberty of the citizen or subject
be at the mercy of despOts everywhere. The
machinery of government and of society can
not be kept going without Printers Ink. 1t
is necessity of the age, and as we cannot
get it elsewhere, we must make it for our
selves. We have the material, it all comes
from our own soil. and there is nothing to do
but to apply capital, ener gy and experience
10 the manufacture, and we can have an
abundant, cheap an good sup ly of this in
dispensable. These thoughts occur to us, as
our attention is called TO the fact that right
here, in Augusta, we have commenced the
manufacture Of Printers Ink on a large
scale, and the qualify of which can he judged
by looking at the Chronicle and Sentinel, which
has been printed with this ink for the past
SIX weeks. Inc pfOpfletors OF the augusta

not be got North, We feel we are doing the
