East Tennessee sson.

The monsrcl abolitionists who infest the
cores, tho ridges and the crossroads of
East Tennessee have been spoiled with gen.
Gle treatment. The sympa:hics Of no other
Insn were moro warmly enlisted ia deir be

fauatical power, endearing tho determination
of their own people, and the devastation Of
their own State is as truculent, humiliaain Q
and disgraceful as it is useless reckless, and
unproductivc of good and patriotic results.
We have no sympathy with such doagcd
sullcnness and secret hatred as inanifests
itself in waysidc assassinations and bridge
burnings. The quiet policy has been pur-
sacd so long that the traitors look upon the
leniency Of The Confederate authorities as
AT evidence Of weakness and uncertainty as
to our own success. They had better aban-
don and forever all such opinions, or
else abandon their present abiding-places
and withdraw to an atmosphere more con-
genial to their way Of thinking. Tennessee
cln never become Union again---it can never
b; Abolition-it belongs naturally to the
South, and the blood of an huucred ehous-
aud of her gallant sons will water the valleys
Of oxr State, from East to West, to establish
that fact beyond peradventure
We weary of pcrsuading ignoran uses
who will not be persuaded The traitors
who assassnate people from behind bushes
must be hanged to the trec.tops and left
there as proof of our ,earnestness in this
struggle for what We hold dearcr than our
lives-our liberty. A half dozen bush
whaekers hung up in conspicuous places
Throughout tha county would. isase u bane-
6ciai effect Weregrcs the necessity which
demands sueA measures. But We have too
much at stake to permit treason to run riot
in cur very midst, when our own wives and
children are turned out upon the roads from
their own homes to starve, and while cruel
servilc insurrection is being instigated by
the ficndish fanatics Of the North. Let
caution be used in the detection of all busi =
whacking and bridge-burning trai.oru, not
-egularly in the Yankee service, as we'll as
the crafty fellows who secretly urge them
and encourage them in these evils---but
when they are caught and convicted, let
them be sving up in Gods name. r.
