no saving it. His only objection to the
emancipation proclamation was, that it
should have been returnable Immediately.
He denounced the so-caled Democratic
party, and said every child should curse it.
All patriotic men should act together like
men who knew their rights and knowing
dare maintain them. At the conclusion Of
Mr.. DIS remarks, the audience dispersed
without waiting for a formal adjournment.

@Aa
We coincide heartily with the views Of the
Sonhsrn Cog5dsraey that Congress should

ters can Be transmitted by express. As the
law nsw exists, It prohibits The transmission Of
letters or any maiIable matter, By any other
conveyance than in The mails, except such mail
able matter be inclosed in GoDsramsat stamped
eardopes. Tho law wiz not allow the express
company, or any other company or person, to
carry letters out Of the mail even by placing
the fun amount Of postage due on them in com
non possace sismps, and having them defaced
by postmaster, ner By paying over to the

that would be charged in postage. a letter, to
on outside of the mails, must be in a stamped
1sraops-a goDaanent stamped envelope-and
ia no other way can 1t 20 outside Of the mails.
The department regulations could not only

is comparatively regular. Why, then, if men
prefer to send letters or papers by express or
any means other than in the mail, andare wiling
first to pay to the government the amount it
would charge, we think they should have the lib
erty Of doing so, and thsti it is tyranny to deny it.

CAMP NEAR sHELBrFLLE, January %, 1868.
EDITORS APPEAL: Since our 8 change Of base from
Murfreesboro, the army Of Tennessee has remained
ia staiu gro, waiting for some demonstration on the part
Of the doughty Dutehman Rosecrsnz and bis Abolition
horde.
It is somewhat strange, that after the rebel army wa'
g thoroughly defeated, demoralized and in full retreat
for Tullaboma," as Rosecraz says, that this puissaBi
general did not follow up his victory % and capture
B~raggwith his whole command. No the fact is that
8 figures wont lie" though the same cannot be said Of
this famous Western conqueror, who It is evident has
been an apt pupil Of Mcdowell HaIleek' e al Of the
same celebrated fraternity. we never sustain worse
defeat than that at Murfreesboro' the cause Of Southern
independence will soon triumph over the most fendish
msHgnIiy Of its enemies.
The latest accounts represent the outposts Ct the Abo-
ution forces as being four miles this side Of Afugfrsesboro'
50 that the two armies are now from twenty 20 thirty
miles apart, the eonfsdeTRtes acting on the defensive.
As to our future movements, of course, a private can
not be expected to know anything. Ny opinion is that
in the course Of the next month our army viii fan back
beyond the Tennessee river. "What y 1 imagine some
fresids hero to say, "shal the vast aud productive RI.
gion of Middle Tennessee Be again given up to the van.
dasfa Yes if the necessity Of the case, and the safety
Of our army demands it. and can see nothing to the
contrary at present. The Tennessee river Is rising and
viii soon be n~avgable for steamers Of the heaviest
draft. What, then, is there to prevent the enemy from
landing, under the cover Of his g~unboats, a large force

wVFW ELECTION FARCE IN WRIST
TENNESSEE.

This proceeding took place on the 20th inst
and s. far as We have been able to learn was a
competete mockery, so for as itmaybe regarded
ss giving oay true expression Of public opin-
ion was concerned. Our information is that
none Of the citizens Of established standing par
tcipstsdin the farce. We only have heard the
resuls in the city, where there has heretofore
been in ire ~neigh5orhOod Of six thousand votes
poIe5. At the Abolition election only about
seven hundred were cast. Of these JIMMY
BcMAENUs received eighteen, JIMMY To0IENE
twenty-five, and Mr. EAGER nearly all the re-
mainder. NABEBs' vote was tailed with the
scattering.
We have ne word from the country precincts
bat our information is that although a small
vote win be cast, it win be sufficient to over
come GAGER's vote in the city, and elect SMITH.
He is the favorite Of the people, it is said, and
his election was looked upon as certain.
