/ ]. The United States Government having adoptcd
the policy of leasing abandoned plantations and
giving employment to freedmen it is the duty of the
military authorities to give protection as far ms
sble to the lessee and laborer. This protection can
only be given by holding responsible the districts
IN whi.h bands of guerrillas, who are constantly
committing depredatons upon them, are organized
and encouraged
.. 1t is therefore ordered that hereafter in every
instance where Government lessee is robbed of
property the commanding officer of the nearest mil
itary post shall send sufficient force to the locality
with instructions to seize from dsloyal citizens pro-
crty sufficient to fully indemnify the lessee which
property shall be sold at public auction and the pro-
ceols paid TO the injured person.
If the crops Of lessee destroyed, or in any
manner injured, crops of the same kind will be
seized from dsloyal citizens and harvested for the
benefit of the injured party.
IL any lessee is killed by guerra' an assessment
Of ten thousand dollars will at once be levied upon
the disloyal people residing within thirty miles of
the place where the otfcnse was committed Prom
ery Of any kind will be seized and sold for the pur
pose, and the amount assessed will be appropra-
ted for the benefit of the family of the lessee
Full reports of all seizures and sales of property
under this order will, in all cases, be forwarded d.

citizen has relatives and friends among these ont

All Honor TO Mr.. Everett and MasSa.
ChuSettS.

In late letter from Mr.. Everett to the
the President of the East Tennessee Relief
Association the fact is announced that
Massachusetts has contributed ONE nUN-
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS for the relief of the
suffering and destitute people Of East Ten
nessee This has been mainly accomplish.
ed through the eXeItion Of that great good
man, Edward Everett. This is one Of the
most remarkable and suggestive facts de
veloped by this strange war Between
Tennessee and Massachusetts there has
never been any common identity OF habit
or thought, and no close commercial or per-
sonal ties, which sometimes bind together
the citizens Of neghboring States. Indeed,
we have been taught for many years
Though We did not all believe what we
hcard) by designing traitors that the people
of Massachusetts We're above all other peo-
pie of the North narrow minded, selfish,
cold and avaricious But no sooner do they
hear the tale of the restitution of people
fifteen hundred miles away, than, with the
instincts of common humanity, n COM
mon religion and common patriotism,
they outstrip all others in the most gener-
Gus race of charity, Mr.. Everett, with all
his ability, and all his earncstncss of char
acter, goes to work to raise funds for his
brethren in East Tennessee lie is follow
ed by all the leading men, and aided by all
the churches, charitable associations, public
and private institutions, and by the women,
the boys and the girls. No one seems to
have felt that he had done his duty unless
he had contributed something, And all
this was done from principle, not from en-
thusiasm. They regarded it MS a sacred
duty. They have been taught that charity
and benevolencs are duties which they can
not negIrct- Tia S9R'h?"Si in " fT;s ' Srsot
est elegance, and expend his money with
prineely prodgality on himself and his
own circle, but he has n dull ear to the
claims of charity outside Of his circle He
is most liberal to himself while the
Northern man is more liberal to Others. -
Herein is the difference between the two
Hence public enterprises have been fostcred
and patronized and the cold and bleak
North has prospered and grown great
while the rich and productive South has
stood comparatively still for want of that
liberal public enterprise
We say, from the bottom of our heart, all
honor to Mr.. Everett and glorious old Mas
sachusctts. The people of that State are
indeed our neighbors and our brethren
And that which is true of them is likewise
true, possibly in a less degree, of al the
people of the North. For even far off
Maine has generously contributed her
thousands for the relief of our suffering
people. And so of nearly every State
Let us hold them in everlasting remem-
brance, and prove ourselves worthy of their
benefactions.

The Convention adjourned last evening
after most harmonious and spirited meet

Presidency, without opposition, and upon
the first ballot. True, the Missouri delega-

so as to make the nomination unanimous
Gov. Johnson was nominated for the Vice
Presidency upon the first and only ballot

placed in nomination, but johnson leading
in the race, they changed the votes ofStates,
and came over to Johnson. Daniel S. Dick
nson, Of New York, was the strongest man
against Johnson but the latter divided his
own delegation with him.
We had something of an animated con

Pendleton for President.

Under the above caption the Springfield
Republican, Journal from which the Argus
loves to quote, makes some very judicious
remarks upon the danger of having Pendleton
for President. Within the life time of this gen.
GRAFTON 1t has twice happened that the pri-
mary has given way to the substitute, and
IN both these instances, the individuals promo
ted to the presidency by the appointment of
death made the most serious departures from
the policy most likely to have been pursued
NV the men whose names led upon the ticket
before the people. The country has not yet
ceased to feel the effects OF the change to this
hour. Tyler had no party and Fillmore has
pursued very singular and strange course
not much to his credit orreputation. EzA
But hear what the Republican says on the
subject and the argus viii please make
note on it. ss fs lf,s ley. s6..
The ticket is bad enough as it Is now. Ii
is shame and danger for general claim
ing to be patriotic and aspiring to the CHER
magistracy of the nation, to be in association
only with such men as Long and Vallandig-
ham and Pendleton and the Woods. 1t is
mischievious enouhg, we say, for Gen, Nc
Clellan to be In allegiance with the evil itself.
The loyal people viii look sharply that they
get no man for president who has such q
partner, But more than this they will take
good care that they never get the partner
himself e ~ faaH sH q soa < gsg a

VISA If the State.

below we publish the returns from III
st. md towns in the State, which give
90 Toe votes for Lincoln, and 1895 for Nc
CIsllan Majority for Lincoln 1881. The
majority in these places for Gov. Cony, at the
seotember election, Was 11,OS7. Net Union
gain 1884, The vote in these towns is increas-
ed from the September election about 1,4OO.-
If the other towns come in with the same
rates Of gain, the majority for the Lincoln
electoral ticket will be between 1900 and
$4,000 on the home vote. 1t win be increased
some thousands by the soldiers VOTE
The boast of the copperheads was that they
would reduce the majority in this State for
President Lincoln below 10000. In this they
have been sadly disappointed. Maine is as
true as steel to the administration of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and she has shown 1t by the large
majority given him for a reelection.
1t was not to be expected that large gains
would be made in this State from the Septem-
Der election, because in that struggle full
vote was polled, and the question was then
settled, so far as IL regarded the vote of the
State in November, and such exertions were
not made to get voters home as was made al
that election. But the result is glorious one
and reflects honor on the Pine Tree State.
