LETTER FROM GOV. BROWNLOw.

NASHVILLE TENN, July 3o.--The Press this
morning publishes letter from Governor
Brownlow 10 Mayor Andrews of Columbia, in
reply to remonstrance against the order of
General Thomas, suspening him in the per-
Torrance of his duties, and the Office of Mays
or also.
Governor Brownlow says;
You are accused of using your official
rower 10 opposition to the ''freed" people of
Columbia, preventing their education, etc.
You will observe from the letter of General
Thomas 10 the city papers this morning that
marshal law is still in force in Tennessee
"Our rebellious people have not yet given
sufficient assurances of returning loyalty 10
the General Government to wars the with :
dawal OF military power or the abandonment
of military courts.
III IL not strange that the authorities should
distrust people who for four years applied
every means at their command 10 destroy the
nation.
"Iudeed it is great concession. on the part
of the General commanding to declare his
milit.ry will to sustain the civil government
snd never to assume the exercise of that will
except in cases where prompt action is neces-
sary 10 ensure the public safety.
"Until our people have given conclusive
evid-r ce of their intention to obey all our
laws, State and National, you and and all
citizens are liable 10 be arrested and tried &C
cording 10 the forms of military practice.
ut is extremity important that all conflict
bet ween the civil and military authorities be
avo ded.
"As we are now situated, just out of re
billion in which the people refused to lay
down their arms till forced to do so at the
point of the bayonet, the civil government is
allowed to proceed by permiss sion of the mill
airy nutborii s. Hence deeply regret the
occurrences at Columbia but the high char
acter of General Thomas for prudence, justice
and patriotism warrants me in assuring you
that he will gladly receive and impartially
consider any testimony you may wish con-
sdered in your behalf"
