batteries Of artillery. Organized, IS many
Of Them were OF refugees beyond the limits
OF tltir own State, and at time when
There was no competent State authority to
recognize their existence, they rushed
into the fight regardless Of the forms
usually taken in such cases. Tbs 10000
East Tennesseeans IN the army, and the
e50,0G0 loyal ncn. women and children of
that section, look on with intense anxiety,
to know lthey are to receive Federal pro-

thousands Of loyal East Tennesseeans

recent Tiots in resistance to the daft Is to
be placed where it rightfnliY belongs. The
present administration is to be ignored, aud

John Brough for Governor. The editor, Mr.
Plasman, states his position in 81 article
which VIC find translated In the Cleveland

As will be noticed By our readers, we nut
to-day ut the he:aa Of our paper the name Of
Mr. Brough tor Governor.
This Is no hasty step; but we have conclu-
ded, alter nature consideration and cousu}ta.
lion with many Vt our Demoerauc friends. to

and by the utmost Of our influences to aid to
victory the pa1ty TINT advocates the suppres-

We hare already given our readers the rea
sons which canse1 us not to support Vallap.
dlgha1n. We do not uGree with Mr. Brouch
ul'on many questions, which are of secondary
Gaturc, but do indorse Lr- Druugh's opinion
that the rebellion must be suppressed: and
that is the main issue.
The dieEracefu1 scenes which. g few days
hgo, occurred In New YORK city, prove that 1t
requires the united efforts Of ali good citizens

peace and order; and 1t is most cestainiy the

OF our country TO ignore party considerations
