The whole State is infested BY prsaafory
and rowing bands Of guerrillas, maintained
by the inhabitants. The one.tenth OF the
voters necessary to the reorganization OF
the State according to Mr.. Lincoln's scheme,
cannot be found, there not being that mum
ber of people in the state who are willing
to take the oath amnesty, and hence no
reconstruction of the civil government has
been attempted. ANDREW JOHNSON, the
military governor appointed by ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, still holds sway over the lives and
fortune. of the people Of Tennessee, reside
Ing within the limits held by the army.
We have now to record grayer act OF
"usurpation" than those Of which WADE
and DAVIS complained. A short time since,
small squad Of army officers and contract.
ors got together somewhere in Tennessee,
aud, protected by bayonets, resolved to
hold an election for President and Vice
President Of the United States. They
passed series of resolutions, prescribing,
among other things, the qualifications OF
voters at that election and the form of oath
to be sworn by all who desire to cast their
ballots. ANDREW JOHNSON, Abolition can.
didate for Vice President, and Military Gov.
ernor, approved the proceedings of this
self-constituied tribunal, adopted the form
of oath it proposed, and issued his procla-
nation calling upon tie people of Tennessee
to vote on the Sthday Of next November for
President and Vice President Of the United
States in accordance with the plan pro-
posed by the contractors. The oath aud
proclamation read as follows:
Resolved, That as a means for ascertain
ing the qnalificat ;ons of the voters, the reg
isters and officers holding the election may
