The Invading Army.

Il has been noised abroad fer two or three
menthS, that Federal Army wascomiug into
East Tennessee from Kentucky, and that car
section of the State would become the theatre
of bloody war. We predicted weeks ago,
and published our convictions, that no Army
would attempt to invade East Tennessee, and
added that the Union men did not aop desire
any such invasion. We now repeat our pre-
dietion, that ne Army 10 coming here, and
that whatever contest is bad between Federal
aud Confederate troops, viii be on Ksntueky

The gallant Col. Merritt, of the Iowa

Here is an honest expression Of opinion
on the part of our Republican Eeighbor.
You are right Mr.. Republican in saying
that the "gallaut Col. Merritt Is in taror
Of the rar." There is no secesh about
him. Did he not promptly respond to the
first call of the Government for volunteers?
Did he not bravely lead our gallant and
undaunted Iowa First at the battle Of Viii
sons Creek? Was he not found cheering
on his brave followers at the desperate
charge in which The lamentel LYON fell
Did not Gen. LYON, in his dying moments,
commend the courage Of Col. Merritt,
ard applaud the conduct of his men p
Has he not declared to the people Of Iowa,
in refusing party nomination, his position
in the following glowing words:
Feeling the obi cations Of country and
Of posterity to be more tender and sacred
than those of party, resolved to ignore
all party ties for the time being: advocate
the union of all parties; successful and
vigorous prosecution Of the war; and en-.
ter the list as soldier to do battle for my
country.
In obedience to tine popular will, Col.
MERRITT is now in the field for Governor
no, as a partizan-but as the choice of
the Union sentiment of the State, which is
opposed to kIRKwooDs party devotion.

In late nun Der of the Boyer Valley
Record, published at Dennison, Iowa, is the
official report of an engagement between
ten Crawford boys and "eight Indians or
six Indians and two white animals in In
dian guise, at some place in Cherokee
county. 1t is cheering to know that the
Indians did not cut off the retreat of our
Crawford county friends, and that the lat
ter caught distinct view Of the horses,
previously stolen from them, and which
they sought to recover. If the object of
following the Indians was simply to ascer
tain whether or net the Indians had pos
session Of the horses, then their expedi-
ton must have been decided success.
The Record informs US that twenty.
FIVE soldiers armed for blood started out
under TRlrr for fleeing demons That's
good-graphic. But here is someth ng
decidedly original: There are doubtless
more horses along the Boyer Valley, or
even in Crawford County, than in all the
counties North West Of us PIT together

Is HE AN ABOLITIONIST

We understand that Mr. PrxDLEroN has
taken offence at our notice, in q former
issue, of his nomination, and has called
US some hard namos-made big threats
for small man, and airel his profanity
at our expense upon street corners and in
saloons
We certainly had no intention Of doing
Mr. PENDLEroS any injustice when we
expressed the opinion that he is too much
of an Abolitionist to represent the people
of this District. 1t really surprised us to
hear that Mr.. p. denied being an Alb.
oitionist. From his daily walk and con.
versation, his many speeches, especially
the one he made about a year ago in
Casadys Hall, we inferred that he rejoieed
in the name Of Abolitionist But then,
he is running for office now, and perhaps
that makes difference Besides, Presi-
dent LINCOLN has shown himself averse
to the emancipation scheme of General
Fremont
