EDs GAZETTE We only receive the
Gazette aIoht half the time, bnt wish to
remind the people Of old Fairfield hat
The 1st Brigade Of the Sd Division is
alive and in good fighting trim. It is
reported that the rebOls. thinking til a.
our demonstration at McMibntile fore
shadowed general sdvahcs, have moved
heavy force probably for the purp Sc of
reconnoitering. to position near CHAPEL
Hill. Our boys are on the aai t;Sis, and
will rep-l any attack made. With our
present abls commander. Cent Scho6eid,
we can whip three times our bum btr.
To our enemies in the Moth WHO have
boasted that we have tiade ho bfogfess,
We point to Kentucky; MISSOURI ahd
M'rllahd REDEEMED. The best pait Of
Tennesses is in ohr possession; and will
be Of no account to the rebels as far as
producing supplies is concerned. In
louisiana, Banks has penetrated to Ope
lousas, and The fertile parishes OF La
Fourch. Terrebone, PIaquemine, and the
famed '' Atakapas country" are all unz
der the supervision of Uncle Samuel.
We have made progress, the ASSERTION of
Copperhsads 10 tile bdntrary, uotwith-

! Gptio6s East Tennessee, the Swiiz4r-
land Of America, awaits the coming of
The United States forcrs, and If The pray.
-rs Of apr outraged people avail anything,
she will soon be rid of her dastardly in
vadtrs. If some of the Internal syc6-
hdnts Of treason in the North coTld get
here {witbou, being hung,) and hear
'lisir S,ofies Of heOdish rebel bArbatjty
they would turn from their suicidal
tOdrSs which IS ouly inviting the horrors
bf War to theif own 6resid.s. Here we
see such fhen sS Col Browalow, Tracy

l recently mad i conversation with
John BrowhloW, no is q SON of the old
parson He asEed he where I was from;

f" That county Is the one II mistake
not, that greeted trsitor odi With an
ovation, and spn, the d=d I'D sdoaudreI
to the L gislature. len h s. 6uld have
heen hung" So you see, Mr.. Editor,
that F"ir6eld county has ho'0,iety, but
her reputation is not very ehtiable.
Iagres with "Eti-nH.." correspon :
dent Of the Nashville Union that If ths
soldiers are ever compelled North on
snake hunt, that the lives Of coppsrhtads
won't be worth much.
We think Of brave Lyon. far from hi.
New England home. breathing out his
latest breath 10 prayer for 'he psrpstulty
of the American Uniou; Of Baker. the
Statesman, and dashing Kearney on the
banks Of the Potomac z; Of ths thou sands
Of name'es patriots who slesp h" "slea D
of death" in slave cursed soil, and u foil |
ing Of intense. indignation naturally
arises GUSibst those, paricidal inerates
Who BY open and covert treason seek to
destroy the Government. The future his
iOrian, iftrus 10 his calling, will class
hem with the Oataliues and Araclds of
he past. JEFF Davis once profassad to
oVe and revere the Union. and Vallan-
iivnam claims to bs a Union man. Par

Our d'g floats gsily from tho hight, Of
