New Pension Agent.

John Caldwell, Of Sewer county, has been APP
pointed Pension Agent and will have his office in
Knoxville, making his payments through the First
National Bank. The Nashville Union makes some
remarks that may impart information to many Of
our East Tennessee friends, but especially TO such
pensioners as took sides with the rebels If any did
SO, we hope they may be deprived of any and all
comfort in the way Of pension money now and for
ever hereafter. We give the remaks of the Union
"Under the act of February 4, 1862, the names of
all pensioners the rolls of the States lately in re-
bellion have been dropped. Those who are pre-
pared to prove their continued loyalty during the
whole period of the rebellion can make application
to the Commissioner of Pensions for restoration to
the rolls proving their place or places of residence,
and means of subsistence since January /, 1861 -
They must also execute and Ale in the Pension Of
fee the oath prescribed in the amnesty proclama-
tion Of President johnson. A circular Of instruc-
tions and FORMS TO be observed in these cases, will
be furnished on application to the Commissioner of
Pensions. Agencies for paying pensions are about
to be re-opened in Virginia Tennessee and Louisi-
ana. Agents will be appointed in other Southern
States as occasion may require"

Horses and Mules.

In the last annual report Of the Qusr,ermsster
General it lie estimated that there we're in the SER
vice of the army 10000 horses and 10000 mules
The destruction of the animals per day averaged
about 500. During the last eight months of the year
1864, the cavalry of the army of the Potomac, I'M
der Gen. Grant, received 10000 horses; and there
were issued to the army of Gen. Sherman through
the Nashville Depot, in ten month";, 4l,l22 horses
What Government The South has felt the power
Of this great Government, and will join US in the
opinion that il can not be overthrow. Its horses
and mules, beef cattle and wagons steam ships and
transports, guns and ammunition, money and credit,
are equal 10 the combined attacks of rebels at home
and enemies abroad In other words, the United
States Government can whip the whole civilized
world. We glory in being an humble citizen of the
United States and in having taken the side of the
Government in her late desperate but successful
conflict

The Methodist Church.

The battle Of Bull Run was the elimination, in
most wonderous sense Just four years ago, of the
controversy that separated the Methodist Church
twenty-one years ago On that dread Sabbath
morn God arose in majesty and might, and SELLING
the Church of the North a, In his right hand and
that Of the South in his left, he told them '0n this
line shall you fight out this wicked contest and hero
shall you rartake of n sacrament Of each others
blood No Sundays sun has shown upon united
christian fellowship since, but heated evil prodic-
tions and SANDER have been the services Of the
tuary, and especially at the South Politicians are
seeking 10 reconstruct the broken fragments of
State but the rebel spirit Of the Church Is heard,
in even Tennessee calling for rebel Conference,
and for the keeping up Of the lines of separation Of
hate and Of distinction, First rebel against the
State the Church South promises to fight on arcbel
against the Majesty of heaven
We hope the hundreds of thousands Of Methodisls
scattered through the nsurgent States will not al'
low themselves TO be thrown into tho lines Of antag-
onism to reconstruction of Zion by the designing
men and backsliding preachers whose teachings in
volved the Church in all these troubles and the
country in all this loss Of life and property. Slavery
out Of the way, there is no longer cause fo' any
separation and what we want is, a wise, gereraus
Methodist policy that shall reconcile all the diaicu
ties of the great revolution, and which will save
hundreds Of thousands Of souls from confusion and
death and restore peace that shall last while the
earth is inhabited.

demonstrating Democracy,

The rsbd secession papers at the North, sne
among them the New York World the Cincinnati
Enquirer, and Chicago Daily Time take the
ground that the President intends to resume hi
old relations with the Democratic party, The pa
pers we have named openly claim the President
At tho late Cooper Institute meeting in New York
the Democracy were in attendance, and the World
in its report Indignantly asked Who are the Re-
publicans that they should assume to be specially
the supporters Of the Administration Does no,
Mr.. johnson mean TO be the President Of the whole
country"
Now, when Democrat begins to talk about the
whole country, he means the Democratic party, and
no more, We for one, do not intend To &C,
with the Democratic party now forming, NO
matter who may head the organization. The
leaders in this Democratic movement are the
men who, daring the war, were intensely hostile to
the administration of Mr. Lincoln, and to the pros
ec1'0n Of the war They are the men yh ~ S9s
the Union. They passed the Missouri Compromise
Measure of 1921, and backed up the Notification
movement of 1882; they dug the pit of secession
into which John Tyler plunged himself in ls4l
they annexed Texas, and brought on the Mexican
war they engineered the Compromise measure of
1850 through Congress, and thus fastened on the
late rebellion; they elected Frank Pierce to the
Presidency snd made JEFF. Davis his Secretary of
War, placing him where he laid the foundation for
this great rebellion; they elected Buchanan to the
Presidency and gave the old traitor Howell Cobb,
Floyd and Thompson for Secretaries, and these reb-
q nu,ad tha nd ;ns-
OF the rebellion they were the snti.coerconi.s of
1861; the McCleanites of 1864 and the Chicago
Convention men of the last political campaign, who
sought to defeat the Lincoln and johnson ticket;
they were the Breckenridge and Lane men of 1860
who blew up the Charleston Convention, devided at
Baltimore 50 as TO prepare the way for secession,
and for the very troubles have just passed through
And they are the men who intend To renew the al
legiance between the Northern and Southern De.
mocracy, and to make the North again, as 1t has
been for forty years subservient TO the bad men Of
the South. They mean 10 elect the next President,
to I'LL the Offices of the Government at home and
abroad with men whose hands are bloody with the
conflicts of the past and who will make sure ar.
rsngements for fighting the war over again Once
in power, they viii tax loyal men to pay the large
Confederate debt and if they can't succeed in this
they will repudiate the Federal debt. In no event
will we act with this corrupt disorgAniled, rebel
liou Democracy. It lie an apo.tate secession, pro-
slavery organization, which alone brought about
this rebellion. Place this miserable party in power
again, and the Government will become a rendez
vous of thieves and prostitutes. Under th, rule,
before the rebellion we had robbed Greece of her
gluttony, Spain Of pride France of deceit, and Meg
leo of her love Of drunkenness

Words or Caution.

We do moi srrogate to ourselves the right 10 die
tate TO the people but we claim the privilege of ad-
dressing to the people Of the countryside honest,
loyal peoples few words of caution, and of whole
some advice. The people in the country are loyal,
they for the government and they opposed to
rebellion. It is in the towns that all the traitors are
found and 1t Is in the towns that men congregate in
counting rooms and Offices and talk treason and find
fault Of all that is done by Union men and Union
legislators 1t is on the streets and sidewalk Of
the towns that men-not sound on the question of
Ioysty--sttack the honest men from the country,
and endeavor to sour their minds against the legis-
iation Of Congress and Of the State and to convert
them over to new party to be composed Of rebels,
apostate Union mon, rebel sympsthizers, political
go-betweens, and the odds and ends of a defeated
and defunct Confederacy.
When these Disconnected spirits begin this work
Of converting the farmer from the country let them
satisfy themselves upon three points before they be-
come converted to their doctrines. Let them ask
three questions, and demand prompt answers. Are
you not thrown out Of office by this rebellion and by
your course2 Are not your nearest relatives involved

have you not lost II few negroes 1t will be found

that there is not much of principle involved as of
self. Be on your guard, countrymen, how you are
led astray by these selfish and ambitious men They
brought on one rebellion, and you have seen and
felt its effects. They are seeking to bring about
another under other pretexts To give them hold
upon your affections, they must pretend at heart to
be Union men. Three years ago they were for the
Union as long as there was a Union. They were,
however, Tennesseeans, and when their State voted
on. they were bound to go out also Watch all
such men They are more to be dreaded than out

FREE SPEECH AND FREE DIscussIoy.--It was u
great mistake on the part of the North that they
gave up the right of free speech and free discussion
in the South, allowing men to be mobbed, hanged,
and imprisoned for the utterance of their sentiments
but it will be greater mistake if they do not at
once resume it, and keepit up. Southern men have
always gone North and said publicly and privately
what they did not allow Northern to say in the
South II was this yielding to the shareholders ty-
ranny over their opinions that led Southern men to
believe they were towards, and that one Southern
man could whip five Yankees
