joiced aloud and talked out treason defantly Reb-
81 traitors Of the male pursuasion, who had taken
the oath to save their property were reoiced that
they could not conceal their feelings. Old Secession
Rips who cant live ut home, and have come here
to save their lives were the streets e1ultng and
showing that they expected TO have their tory
friends in possession Of the country soon.
What We want, and what justice demands, is,
that these traitors, male and female, Ill be sent
South, and their property confscated The militia
ry authorities have either to expell these spies, in
formers and traitors from the country or they will
drive the authorities and the rest Of Us, North Of

Dr. w. q, BrolWLoici SIR-We have had quite
a calm ut this place since Forrest exit from north
Of the Tennessee river until the 2Gth utp when the
rebel forces under Beaurcgard Hood a Go, attacked
us; hut the encmy visiting this section of country
have learned by experience TINT Brig, Gen H. D.
Granger Is not to be thwarted by bold fronts or
threatening tales,
The enemy was mot about II NJ by the I'd Ten
ncsscc Cavalry, Lieut. Col. w, r. Prosscr 10th In
diana Cavalry Major ---, and one section OF
Battery A, LIST Tennessee Light Artillery, Captain
Albert +. Beach, the whole under the immediate
command of Lieut., Col. Prosser, The enemy opened
on us with n full battery, partially masked in the
woods, The fight was hard, and lasted until dark,
when the firing ceased. Next morning it was again
renewed and continued until about noon on the 29th,
making four days,
On the morning Of the third day Captain Beach
dismountcd one of their guns and blew up two Gals
sons cousnga considerable destruction of life among
them, The same day, fory-scven of the 18th Mich
gan Infantry, under u Captain, Whose name have
forgotten charged and captured five commissioned
officer, ana one nundred ana seventeen cnlIstru men,
making an aggregate of one hundred and twenty
two men captured in their rile-ptS by forty-seven
men in the open field, This was little over two
and half rebels that one Yankee did whip, instead
of the "chivary whipping five as they told us at
the beginning of the war they were going to.
The ith U. s. Colorcd Infantry Colonel Morgan,
charged rebel battery and spiked two guns, killing
and wounding great many, 1t is quite common
among the pro-savcry portion of the country to
agree that the negroes are towards and will not
fight, | would just say to them, they never saw any
fighting, neither do they know anything about it,
consequently we can excuse them on account of their
arguments, but cannot on account of ignorance.

The last class preferred, and the class We shall
take pleasure in denying, and forcing to retire, is
that class Of free-spoken men who oppose the Ad-

Government. They can wind up their stores, or
sell out and this notice is given that they may pre-

bounty. The Government has friends enough in

and all we purchase to live upon, or carry on the
office costs thrice or thrice the prices paid before tho
rebellion. We were the first Publisher in East Ten
nessee, in 1899 to put down a weekly paper to TWO
DOLLARS per year, and we have been the last TO
raise to higher rate. As soon as circumstances
will Justify it, we will return to old prices This
war will be put down in the course of the year 1866
and then the country will be relieved Of the high
prices which are draining the resources of business
men, and we shall be among the first to return tothe
old rates.
In future We must have THREE DOLLARS per
year and those sending us oSB or TWO DOLLARS,
will have the paper furnished for third or too
thirds Of year. Our advertising rates will be ad-
yanced in proportion, In the meantime We solicit
the continued support Of the friends Of the Govern

turn, we promise to fight for the one and the other
until victory perchss upon our standard.
