me1t go9s hravely on in East Tennessee, as
ny amily inform ne, who left Knoxville
the latter part Of last week. They were
shooting Union men down in the streets,
aEre1tlng hundreds, and shooting down hfty
or sixty IN one instance, after they had sur
rendered and were under arrest They
marched between three and four hundred
through the street, with some Of them bare
sootsd aud their feet bleeding, taking them
70 the depot snd shipping them 10 Atlanta,
E0.lLnIlln ~ nALA NNN4 hllAG AALAAllAhllIas
Thee men, denied water, would lift out Of
the md puddle in the street with their
hands, after rain, what they could to quench
their thirst
In Gods name call upon President Lin
coin, snd upon his Cabinet and Army OIL
cers, to say how long they will suffer loyal
people, true 70 the Union and to the Govern
me1t of their fathers, to suffer in this way
The Union men Of East Tennessee are largely
In the mgority-ssy three to one, but they
have no srms-they are in the jails of the
country-they sre working on Rebel forti6-
cations like slaves under the lash, and no
Federal force has ever yet been marched into
that oppressed and doWn-tFodden country.
L.stths, Government, ifit hiss any regard ior
iis obliQsticns redeem that country at once,
and Hberats thess people, no matter ct what
cost Of blood and treasure.
Thsy have suffered these outrages for the
Last twelve monthp, and are now despond-
ing, nay despairing Of any relief Let an
army-sia terrible army with banners"-go
ct onoe into East Tennessee and back up
the loyal citizens, while the latter shoot
and hang their p rsecutors wherever they
can fnd them. I want the army 70 serve

IN o0ncluhi0n, return M most sincere
thanks, and thanks and gratitude Of my per-
secuted family, n Lieutenant Speed, the
rebel officer who hsd them in charge for
the kind, courteous and eentemRn-like
treatment they received ct bis hands. in pro-
teoting them against the insults Of Secession
black guards, seeing sfter their baggage, snd
tuFning them over to Gen. Wool, At Fort
hOlfos. The gentlsmanly instincts Of q
Wing and Methodist have not been crush
Cd cut iR this trus-hearted Virginian by the
inGurabls disease Of Secession. And what
ever nay betide him in the ups and downs
of this lRholy wa, he viii have my good
Wishes and the good wishes Of my family.
