Southern FOrgeriGS.
l am, Colonel, respectful,

/ The following document, taken from the
Southern papers, has been going the rounds
1t is forgery out and out. AID we add .
word Of comment. that Northern readers
may profit by looking at in the light of day.
n Ionkcc Opinio" Of Hiei, Fj1e,1ds in East Ten
acssce.-Among the letters captured BY cur forces
while around Knoxville was one from D. G. Griffir,
must be very latterinS to the Unoni-ts of East
Tennessee:
Our Union friends have fanaticis1n and cntIlusi-
enough, but they ignorant and ill-bred a.
to disgust any gentleman. The women know how
to make corn dodgers and dirty little Federal
flags, ginger cakes and the like and to curse and
point their superiorS-rebel ladies and rebel gen.
tlemen-and that is about all
1.-The rebel ladies are Intelligent. wel-bred and
good looking-dignified and bold in their tleneanor
But they won't talk to us-consider themselves our
superiors. simply from the fact that we are fighting
for their interiors. the Union ladies They are not
to blame. | often blush when | think Of the COM
mon herd that am perIlling my life for. God save
me from such ignorant trash.
- You have often heard Of maiorities for the
Union in East Tennessee, hut must confess taking
every thing into consideration if the rebels are en-
titled 10 any country, it is this The friends are
many strong in their fidelity and seem to have some
plausible reasons for their rights, etc
1.-The name Of Tory seems to suit them very well.
don't wonder at the promotion of Governor John
son. Horace Maynard, and others. Such people
can be easily demagogued All they know is to be
" Union folks.
Il cannot think that We shall remain here very
long, the rebels permitting. The rebel Gen.
Vaughn and others continually annoying US. so
much 20 that we cannot see any peace for them
We did not expect TO fight the rebels when we came
here but find that personal safety will force US
to fight them hard and often.
This pretended captured letter, is forge
~, notwithstanding its ring is very much
like the conversation of a few creaping.
crawling contemplate Federal officers, who
play sycophant, and hang around certain
rebel families, and especially rebel u0men
To the honor Of our army, we take pleas
ure in saying, that these dirty, low-fung
men are not numerous in the Federal army
They are not that class of men who fight,
but who loiter behind, and seek places and
contracts.
This letter was manufactured by some
lick -spittle of Vaughn's. Do the people of
the North wish to know who this Gen.
Vaughn is? He was formerly an East
Tennessee Sheritf-proved to be defaulter
and a thief, and Judgment was taken against
him in Monroe county for about SIR hous-
and dollars, He went into the Rebel ser
vice was elected Col by the intrigue of
set of scoundres here, over Col. c. decent
man. Vaughn then led off in the murder
of Douglass in this town, Union man
He next entered the counties of Roane and
Morgan with his thieving regiment oc muir

the budding and blooming trees, the mild
weather, and the pure air, rendered our Wis

pleasure.

What is q Radical?

There are r05jcaLS in politics, in religion,
in science, in war, in trade, and in all that
engages the attention of man But the
word radical, for a few years past, has been
the worst abused word in the English Ian
guage. In the South, it is Kissed from the
mouths of SecessioniSts against Union men
in the North, it is Kissed from the mouth
of every CoPperhead against loyal men
1t is an epithct of contempt on the lips of
all old maids and fossils who oppose the
spirit of progress These fossils had they
lived in the days of Hampden, Sydney,
Hancock. Washington, Jefferson, and Pat
ric Henry. would have denounced these men
as. most hateful radicals Noah was radi-
cal for attempting to launch his ark and
open up a new communication with Heav-
en- Calico was radical; and prosecuted
Luther, whom the whole Protestant world
worship, was radical Of the first water
Even the great Fulton, when he began to
experiment with steam. was sneered and
Knocked at as a crazy radical In a word,
had it not been for these radicals, the world
would now be standing where it was six
thousand years ago!
A. Lincoln ESQ., IS radical, and will,
during a reign Of four years, crush out the
largest Rebellion known to the world
Thanks to God for the gift of such n radi-
,..,Ir

Old Maids and Southern Rights.

No class of female uomen in East Tennes-
see, make half the noise in favor of the
Rebel cause. than the hateful Old Maids do.
Their only hope of opening a new volume
in the history of life, by having their hearts
and hands accepted, is to get up stir on
the rebel question, and inducing some fool
officer or private to fall in love with their
toothless grandeur, and their wrinkled faces!
They seem to cling to the old poetic maxium
that is one day or other to make them and
their esteemed traitors twain one flesh =
There never was q goose 81 gray.
But some day, soon or late.
An honest gander came that way,
And took her for his mate

ANDREW JOHNSON.

Tn early life he was an unlcttcrcd tailor. This
fact doubt magnifed whatever virtues and intel
lectual qualities he possessed and diminished his
vices and defects in the estimation Of his political
adherents and contributed much his political sue
cess 1t has long been the prevailing opinion that
his wife learned him the alphabet, and to read and
write. How the fact is, do not know; but if it
be true, during his fortunate and long political ca
recr he never repaid her to whom he owed the
foundation of his success and elevation. but taught
her that she would have been happier with one
who had never attained political honors, but who
was a more sympathizing friend and more faithful
and devoted lover.
WILLIAM G. BROWNLOW.
Brownlow and johnson were very like each other
in many respects, though they used different means
to obtain similar ends Both had strong physical
frames. johnson was more compact and solid, but
BrownlOw had nerves of wire which never wcared,
and capable of constant application and endur-
ancc than Johnson. johnson and malg-
nant; BrOwnlow was malignant and bitter John
son poured forth his invectivc impulsvely the
stump; BrOwnow. like the venOmous insect. retired
to corner wove his web at leisure, and darted his
fangS into his victim Surcharged with poison double
distilled. johnson loved money dearly; Brownlow
was most obsequous worshipper of Mammqn; he
sometimes, Judas like, forsook his party to follow
after those who carried the bag.
THOMAS \. Il. NELSON.
The coalition of two noted Wings and one Dem
crat in the cause Of Lincoln and the Federal Union
makes an impression on the minds of many Of hon
esty of purpose and patriotism in all three. Nelson
is the only Of the three who possessed any moral
influence. He had reputation for integrity that
was unimpeachabe, and was frank and candid be-
yoHd the majority Of men. He is very impusive.
with prcjudiccs easily reused and in espousnG the
cause of the Federal Union thought that he
only contending against the Democratic party,
against which he had warrcd all his life He did
reflect that he acting with of the lowest
of the party or believed he had made a convert of
him to his own side Of the question.
