The following extract from a letter of
ANDREW JACKSON to JAMES MONROE is
peculiarly proper to be quoted at the
present time, when reckless partisans
are trying to distrust the energies of the
nation. The letter was written in this
city, january 6, 1917.
t"When / see character with manly
firmness give his opinion, but when over
ruled bya majority, fly to support that
majority protecting the eagles Of his
country, meeting every privation and
danger Tor love Of country and the Sc
curity of its independent rights, care
not by what name he is called, 1 believe
him TO be a true American worthy of the
confidence of his country and of every
good man"

We arnesny commend the statements
contained in the following extract from
letter addressed 70 us, by a highly intel
ligent Tennessean, TO the attention Of the
Federal authorities. The testimony
which it bears to the loyalty and energy
of the Union men referred 10 is reliable;
and we hope that every facility may be
given Col, Stokes in gathering his men
together. They are just the men needed
for the work, for in addition TO loyalty
and courage, they possess thorough ac-
quaintance with the territory and the
men with whom they have to deal.
"The country, where Mr.. Stokes pro-
posed raising his troops, contains some
Of the best Union material in Middle
Tennessee, and nothing would tend so
much towards Overawing and suppress
ing secession sentiments in this section
of the country, as the organizing and
equipping of this sturdy Union yeoman-
~. They have undoubted courage and
can be fully relied on in any emergency.
1t seems 10 me that the Government
should take prompt steps towards pre-
venting, In future, any more like casual
ties to those we have recently bad. To
that end they should stop all dangerous
mountain gaps and southern passes. We
should avoid the error Of jeff. Davis *
Co., attempting to possess too much coun-
| try at once. Let us secure well what we
have before we attempt to take any more
that is disloyal 1t seems that
strong military line formed from Mem
phis TO Chattanooga, along the line Of
the railroad, would be eminently fit
ting for present purposes. 1t would
prove an almost impossible barrier
! to their returning to Tennessee, which
they so much coyet. Let us prevent then
from so doing, at all hazards. A.
"Yours respectfully"

in Col. Stokes regiment they were fol.
lowed by about half their number Of
rebel soldiers, Of tho sort above alluded
to, for the purpose Of arresting them, but
they failed 20 accomplish their ncfarious
purpose. Cannot the Government spare
a force for this section Of country, to pro-
tect loyal men who wish to enlist in the
service of their country, aud TO crush
their would-be captors The class Of
soldiers Of which mention has been made,
arepersons who have recently been in the
rebel army, and have returned under the
pretezt, generally, Of being discharged
protesting a desire TO quit fighting and
to remain at home, peaceRbIe, orderly
citizens
But after staying at home a short time,
they are soon the same noisy, ovcrbear-
ing, malignant rebels. If The country
could be rid Of such pests, it would save
an immense amount Of trouble.

The manner in which the interment of
deceased soldiers is carried on in this
vicinity is disgrace, not only TO those
concerned, but those having authority in
such matters. We have IL ON the au-

two and three deep, in one excavation
and thus covered up, of course render
