As Hon. BAuIE PEYroN is now in Wash
iugton city, acting with Colonel VIM IT,
Polk, W. q. BEowSLow, and other loyal
Tennesseans, who are there on public
business, the statement that he is devoted
TO the Confederate cause, aud openly and
boldly fsr the South, may be character
lied as cunning fabrication Of the
enemy.
HoN. BAn.B rEYroS or TENNESSEE.
We take great pleasure in publishing
the following communication. Il entirely
relieves this honorable aud patriotic
Tennessean from The charge Of trcacherv
to his native South Of deserving her in
an hour Of trial concocted Of Nashville
by Andy Johnson's base tools. The
facts embraced in the communication are
vouched for by gentlemen Of high re-
spectability. Let the press OF the South,
in jnsiice to Col. Peyton, remove the i'm
putaiion cast upon his patriotism and his
fame by calling attention TO this commu-
nication. IL is due to him, and TO the
memory Of his brave son who fell while
