During the occupation Of East Ten
nessee BY the rebel troops, those eiti-
zens suspected Of sympathy with the
Federal cause were subjected by bru-
tai soldiery to ali manner Of 0utrages
without regard to age, sex or condition.
Many terrible Instances Of wanton Cd
preston Of unprotected ladies are now
remembered as a part Of the history of
the rebel reign In East Tennessee we
VII mention q notable point On one
occasion q company Of traitor cayalFy
visited the residence. ct Hon. n. G.
Taylor, Carter county, made free use Of
any and every thing about he house,
and grossly insulted Col Taylor's ex-
eellent wife, who, by the way, is a sister
of I.andOR c. Haynes, a member of the
Confederate States Senate from Ten
nessee. When the conduct Of these
brutes became unbearable, Mrs TAYLOR
drew pistol and defed them. end with
al the energy Of her patriotic and cou-
rag0as s0ul rang in their infamous ears
these words, "H'rrak tor Lineola Z Three
Cheers for OlG AbeP This was simply
the yoice0f defiance BY q noble soul
when she fully expected to be assassi-
mated BY the cOwsrdly miscreants. The
Federal army was at that time hun

We allude TO this memorable circum-
stance because ofthe prineiple which il
illustrates Mrs. Taylor, whenshs con
fronted martyrdom, was simply giving
expression TO the sentiments of every
really and truly Unconditional Union
citizen in East Tennessee. God bless
her Tor her sublime courage She will
live and her name win be handed down
to PROSPERITY for the admiration and
imitation of the future daughters Of
noble East TENNESSEE We say that
Mrs. Taylor was simply giving utteranee
to the sentiments Of all the truly loyal
people in e g. Tennessee. "DoWn with
Lincoln and the Union" was the watch
word OF the rebels, and our people de-
sired that they should be cOmpelled to
live under Lincoln in the Union. This
is the feeling oflOyal East Tehhesseans
to-day, and hence the news Of the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Lincoln for reelection is
received here with peculiar satisfaction.
Our people feel that the war should be
ended by the same administration IN
der which it was commenced. They re-
belled against Lincoln--they must
swallow him East Tennessee will be
content with nothing less than the hu-
initiation of rebels and traitors, and the
way 70 humiiiate them is to physic
them with Lincoln.
We rejoice at the nomination Of Lin
coln.-He is honest, and that Is more
than can be said for one public man in
ten thousand He has been tried, and
he has proven that Republican instilu-
tons are safe in his hands That he
viii be bitterly opposed is to be expected.
Traitors are viFulent and active, and
wherever you find sympathizer with
treason, or the friend of the particular
hobby of traitors, there you will find an
e1emy Of Lincoln. We no more expect
TO see such men support Mr. Lincoln
than we expet to see 10 Johnston com
manding Union troops against Gen. Lee.
Traitors know their enemies. and Union
men ought 10 know their friends A
traitor and a Union man cannot sup
port the same ticket, and both be con
sistent No traitor will vote for Ian
coin. Every Union man will vote for
him.
The nomination Of Andy johnson
for Vice President is the best thing
which ever happened for Tennessee. II
will secure for our loyal people that
proud position to which their unap-
prOachsble patriotism entities them.
He who votes against Andy johnson
not only does his country great wrong
but will sacrifice the best interests of
this State on the unholy altar, either Of
treason or party prejudice. The people
viii do neither Aspiring men will do
50 at their peril There can be no
doubt tkat Tennessee viii have a vote
in the Presidential election, and that
she viii be permitted to regulate her
own affairs in her own way For ali
this we viii be indebted to Lincoln and
Johnson ~
Is there a Tennessean so foolish az TO
forget his friends2 We hope AMI be-
lieve not.
