Rebel Testimony on Secession
Voting.


The Southern Coyedraey published at
Atlanta, Ga, on the Sih of January,
1861, used the following strong language
in reference TO the election which had
Just been held in that State for members
TO disunion convention:
at is a notable tac,, that wherever the
Minute Men, as they ave called, have
had an organization, those counties have
voted by large majOriEes for immediate
secession. Those that Aey could not control
by persuasion and Gearing, tley d,ugoolei
and bulliea By threat ieers and snesrS. By
this means thousands Of good citizens
were induced to vote the secession tick
ct through tiwIdity. Besides, the towns
and cities haze been flooded with sensa-
ton dispatches and inaammatory rumors,
manufactured ia Washington for the espe-
cial occasion. To be candid, there Meier
has been as much lying and Bullying Practiosd
in DE same length Of time since De destTuc-
ton Of Sodom and GomoiraL, az has been
in ne recent STATE campaign"
Tennesseeans, we Wish you TO pause
for a moment, forgetting the excitement
of the hour, and read carefully the fore
going description of the way in which
Georgia was dragged out of the Union
by the force Of sham election--an cleo
ton conducted in somewhat the same
manner that a satirist said Napoleon
conducted one, Calling the citizens
around him, he said Citizens, to-day
you are allowed to enjoy the privilege of
q free and untrammeled election. Cast
yoar suiirages just as you please; hut re-
member that if one OF you dare TO vote
against the candidate whom I have nom
mated, he shall be shot dead on the
spot" We ask you 10 read this account
carefully, written by theediior Of a warm
Southern Journal, and then compare it
with facts within your own knowledge
connected with the vote on a similar oc-
easion IN Nashville and nearly all Other
precincts in Middle and West Tennessee.
Was not everything carried by secession
lying and bullyingP Was not intmida-
ton practiced? Were there not hun
dreds who staysS away from the polls
through well.grounded fears Of personal
violence and gross insults, if they dared
to vote for the Union We're not hun.
dreds Of others drsgooned into ihe.sup.
port Of treason Was not the whole
election, in 6ne, q blasphemous mockery
a bareiaced deception, gross outrage on
the purity, and freedom, and integrity Of
the ballot-box You know It was. You
know that before that election was held
the State was bound like a slave, and
handed over to the Richmond dynasty,
by secret midnight session by Totten,
Barrow, and Henry. And now, in view
of these facts, how can you ask ms to
submit to such a vote, or obey the ordi.

we have the souls Of freemen, We will
not. Our liberties are too sacred, too

NASHVILLE, Oct. 9th, 1862.
Yesterday, The 18th Michigan, Lieut.
Col. ELDRDeE, commanding; 74th Ohio,
Mai. BEBEE. commanding; one section Of
a Michigan Battery, Lieut.. DEGREES; and
small detachment from Col, SToKEs's
Cavalry, Capt. FLESuSo--all under COM
MANI Of Col. SToUaHToE--wer ordered
to make a reconnaissance down the river,
aid to take wagons and fora e at the
same time
The command left at fu'ci0clN, AM,
and proceeded on the Whites Creek Pike
until il struck Whites Creek, and then
went across TO the - Ferry Pike. It
found the bridges either burned or torn
down, and as it proceeded down the riv-
er, found trees felled across the road
which were at once removed, and the
command moved on TO a distance of six
teen miles down the river. On its way
down, Capt. FILMING ran on TO a squad
Of mounted guerrillas, which put spurs
to their horses and all but one escaped,
the Captains rifle stopping him in death.
After filling the wagons with such forage
as was desira Bile, Col. SToUGHToN ordered
his command back. They were leisurely
marching along the road, in the vicinity
Of the rebel Fort Rely, where the road is
cut down on the bank Of the river, and
where the river is quite narrow, when
the rear of the train received a volley
from across the river. AT this time Col.
STOUaHToN was riding by the side of
Lieut. ELDRIDGE, at the head of the
train; he as once went 10 the rear and
took command there; Lieut. Col. ED
RIDGE Immediately put his regiment in
line of battle, but could see no enemy.
All be could see was smoke in the woods
down the river some eighty rods from
where the rebels were firing. He ordered
a six FOUNDER TO be put ia position, and
directed the Sergeant where 10 throw
some shell, which he did with great pre-
cision. AT the same time, Lieut. Dr.
FREES, under order or Col srouaHrnN,
threw shells from the rear into the same
places, while the 74lh Ohio, being just
opposite the firing, gave two or three vol
legs. The firing Of the rebels ceased at
once; several were seen to fall, whether
killed or wounded we could not tell. The
reconnaissance proved that there is but a
very small force down the river in that
direction. The citizens all along the
route begin TO appreciate the condition in
which these guerriIlas have placed them,
and now curse them as heartily as a few
We Ks ago they praised them.
None Of our men were hurt, except one
man Of the 18th Michigan, who was ao-
cidentally wounded in the arm

ASoumR NkUWSG TO TnAyELEas.-
People in travelling takeI little heed 10
their pockets. Two thieves take seats in
a railroad train. enter into conversation
loud enough TO DO heard I'LL through tho
car. One thief persOnaios a returned
prisoner or wounded officer. and ne
once all ears are intent in listening 20 his
narrative. While this is going ON. a
confederate plies his art in picking tbe
pockets of the people whose attention is
absorbed in another direction. Coming
from Washington TO PHILADELPHIA on
Tuesday night, Judge Black, ox- United
States Attorney General, was robbed of
5000. The haul is the largest made
from a single pocket In long period.
he can not tell at what point he lost the
money 1t is morally certain, however.
that having secured his booty, the thief
got of the tTain.at the next station
Hayre de Grace is the headquarters of
these railroad thieves. Between there
and Wilmington they ride upon every
train. They are shy Of Baltimore, but
between the two cities they make splen-
did hauls. Only few nights ago, $4,000,
in the aggregate, was taken from a sin
gle train. Judge Black will probably be
compelled 10 submit to his loss.
