Ex-Governor Neill :. Brown.

The Tuscaloosa Ambamal papers report speech
made by cx.Goy Brown, Of Tennessee, in that city,
IN favor Of the election Mcclellan and in opposition
to Lincoln. As Lincoln had no ticket in that State,
no one attempted u reply Brown wa. one Of GOV.

State into rebellion llis sons are in the rebel army

cinity of Nashville has been destroyed as means
of restoring to him his rights, and before the war
ends he will get more OF his rights, He sought
whilst member Of the rebel military committee,
to give Union men their rights and he should be
willing, in turn, to receive his.
We submit an extract from his speech. only with
view to show his bitterness and wholesale misrcp-

(Lincons) coniscation act all their property both
real and personal, would be divided among the
minions of his army, or sold TO pay the expense of
the war; Under the emancipation act the negroes
would be freed and left among us; for the North
ern States had prevented their migration thithcr by
laws and their government could not colonize them
on account of their war debt, What a state of 500

farm them with our negroes at nominal wages
Such was now the sad picture in Tennessee and those
border States that the Yankees hold What has
been will be again. Were we willing TO submit TO
such degradation? Were we the sons of those no

That Dog Fight.

There was terrible dog fight, almost at Rich
mond, between Tennessee Bull Pup, known as
Henry S. Foote, and an Irish Cur, who once barked
and growled about this town, called Jol,, MtcheL
The old Bull Pup, having lost his teeth from age
and hard service, resorted to the use of firearms,
sent his antagonist challenge to fight duel, and
the authorities have put Fooe under bonds to keep
the peace. We regard this preventing fight as Il
very great evil They should have encouraged the
fight, and in the end it would have rid the world of
both. Both are humbugs and have been curse to
the country and have kept up a disturbance wher-
ever they have been.
