To German Citizens.

There are in the Office of the Knoxville Wing.
two hundred copies of Gov. BrownlOw's message, in
pamphlet form, printed in the German language
This is a small portion of an edition Of several thou
sand printed in Louisville, KY, for circulation
among the Germans of that city. Ten thousand
copies Of the message in the German language have
been printed by order of the Tennessee Legislature
for circulation among the Germans of this State
Indeed, the message of Gov. Brownow is exceed
lngy popular with this class of our adopted fellow
citizens. The Governor pronOunces the German the
rest class Of our adopted citizens and urges the Gen

devoted patriotism displayed the battlefield du-

A Stay Law Demanded.

There seems to be general feeling throughout
the State in favor of the enactment by the present
Legislature, of a stay law that will afford re-
lief to the debtor class of the people class largely

of the courts in all the counties will exhibit
sad condition Of affairs. SaaHsr county, formerly
very wealthy county, is in that fix now. The
Western District, and East Tennessee are TO suffer
from the same cause legislative aid is not afforded
There are organized associations of capital formed
IN the State, ready TO take the advantage of the un-
fortunate condition of affairs These heartless
wretches are preparing to buy up all the valuable
lands at the Shers SALE and hold them for less than
half Of their real value. The war has left our peo-
pie in condition from which they cannot extricate
themselves without indulgence. This indulgence
the Legislature will no doubt grant them Swindlers
and spectators may complain, but they will be in
the minority, while the majority of honest debtors
will sustain such action.
Should spectators get hold Of the lands Of the
State in this way, they will hold them for higher
prices, and thus keep out all new corners, the very
class we all desire to see settle down among US

The Vote Of Connecticut.

The aggregate vote of the I'd inst, on the propO-
sal to adopt negro suffrage in Connecticut viii not
vary much from 81, GEO. The majority against it
will not be far from $780,
The New York Times has an article commenting
upon this election evidently from the pen Of eI-
Lieut.. Gov. Raymond or Mr. Weed, which concludes
as follows:
There can be no doubt that the country is tired
and disguised with the extravagant STYLE in which
the claims of the negro have been pressed. By a
very active and peremptory school of political and
social reformers, the claims interests, courage and
character of the whites have been made wholly sub
ordinate to those of the blacks There must in the
nature of things be reaction to all this-Gnd the
Connecticut election indicates that it has begun
How far it will GO or what results it will accom-
plish remains to be seen. 1t will probably at all
events, somewhat dampen the ardor Of ambitious
politicians who have supposed ultra devotion to the
negro the only winning card, and it may possibly
satisfy party leaders that it is not always safe rsshy
to insert new planks in party platform.

4 Beautiful Reflection,

1t cannot be that earth is mans only abiding place
1t cannot be that life Is bubble, cast up by the
ocean Of eternity, to float moment on It's waves
and sink into nothingness Else why is it, thatsthe
high and glorious aspirations which leap, like an
gels from the temple of our heart are forever
dering about unsatisfed? Why is it that the rain
bow and the cloud come over US with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass off and leave US to
muse upon their faded loveline5s2 Why is that the
stars hold their festival around the midnight
throne and set above the grasp ofour limited acul-
ties forever mocking lis with their unapproachable
glory And, finally. why is it that bright forms OF
human beauty are presented to our view, and then
are taken from US leaving the thousand streams of
cur affections to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our hearts We are born for higher desti-
ny than that of earth. There is realm where the
rainbow never fades-where the stars will be spread
out before US like islands that slumbcr on the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings which here pass be-
fore like shodows, will stay in our presence for
ever-T Miami Of the Lake.

News from Lord Sneed.

Lord Sneed, in passing through Marietta, Georgia,
was inquired of by an innocent friend of Governor
Brownlows, if he heard anything of the health of
Browniow when last in Tennessee? Sneed indig-
nantly replied, 81 never enquire after the health of
such men Brownlown
When BrownlOw was mainly contributing a few
years ago to send Sneed to the United States Con-
cress, he could enquire after his health Wonder if
lie ever enquiries after the fate of Judge Pickens,
whom he contributed to arrest, imprison, and muir
der? It was recently proven in the Circuit Court
for Knox county, that as the old Judge was being
marched through the streets of Knoxville, Sneed
pointed 70 him, saying, There goes id traitor,
who ought to be shot and quartered.' The Judge
was incarcerated at Mobile and died. Can't en-
qure after his health, but he has brother, and son:
left, who have health to enquire afterl

Future Of the Rebels.

We claim to understand the rebels Of the South
and we claim to be one of few aye, of good many
men in the South the leading and designing traitors
who got up the late rebellion can't deceive. They
have failed to destroy the Government by the sword
and admit they were defeated in battle. They ac-
cept the results of the war, and do not propose to
fight again with powder and sword. Nay, they ap-
ply for amnesty and under it save their property
But they have gone to work to destroy the Union in
PeaceabIe way, that is to say through the ballot
box. They propose to control every State Legisla-
tare; and with the aid Of the corrupt Democracy of
the North, and the COPperheads, they aim to con-
troll Congress. In a word, they ere organizing ali
over the seeded States and understand each other
perfectly For Governors, Senators, and Congress
men, they are selecting rebel officers who have borne
a radical and CONSPICUOUS part in the late war; and
il viii be seen from the printed circulars of some of
these ez-Genersls and ez-Colonels, that they urge
their claims to an election on the ground that thew
did all they could secure the independence of the
South, and to destroy the Union! The election of
eX-rebel officers, prominent in the work of rebel
lion to such positions promises anything but peace
20 the country They will agitate and intrigue for
the overthrow Of the Government; they will excite
and the old rebel feeling Justice to the loyal
citizens and to the dead and living soldiers of the
Union army, requires that all such men be denied
seats in Congress.
Once in their seats with the aid Of Northern trail
tors these bitter rebels will attempt to force upon
the United States Government the payment of the
rebel debt, which, added 20 our own war debt will
bankrupt the nation and grind the loyal men of the
country into dust by heavy and grievous taxes
ther than submit to it, LET us have four years more

THE Atlanta New Era comes out strongly in IA
vor of immigration from the North, and declares
for progressive, liberal, go-ahead policy. 1t
says:
The old barrier to emigration being removed, ttn.
the labor system Of the South being broken up, "r
have now to adopt the free labor, free school sy'
of the North; her industry, thrift, her impr,vy /.
machinery, her small thoroughly cultivated larus.
We invite the Yankee, the Western man, the Ger
man, the Irishman to the world we give cordial
invitation. We will divide our lands with you
on the most favorable terms; we have more than
we can cultivate. You can procure homes in the
beautiful sunny South for comparatively little out
lay.
The healthfulneSs of the northern half of Geor-
gia is unrivalled, its climate delightful, its water
pure its soil fertile 1t is evidently the home of
grape; all the fruits, vegetables and grain that
flourish in Ohio do well here In addition we pro-
duce the great staple than which no agricultural
industry will be more profitable for many years.
and probably, all time to come.
Our people accept the issue of the war with a
cheerfulness unparalleled They go to work with a
will and energy unknown in the history of Georgia
They are an earnest and Jealous people; and all
that could now be desired is, the cooperation and
good viii of the whole country, an intermiXture Of
the people of all sections and exchange of opinion
and labor.
We are glad TO say that the work has already
begun. Our own once beautiful little city; lately
in ashes and five months ago scarcely containing
three thousand souls to-day count twenty thou
sand On every hand is heard the sound of the
trowel, the hammer and the saw. We will in time
work out our own salvation; but we want the world
to know that Georgia, is good place to come to.

The Other SIDE Presented.

The fugitives from East Tennessee, now in Mem

East Tennessee; whose "apprehensiOns of violence
are well founded; who are conscious Of assisting IN
driving loyal out of the country and of advis-
ing the shooting and hanging of innocent Union
men; who publicly gave out that but one party could

they gained the day, in the conflict of arms, the
Union men would have 70 pack up and leave. The
candid men of them admit now that this their
purpose and that they would have carried out their
purpose if they had been successful.

Monument to the Memory of De-
ceased Soldiers of Tennessee.

There is no better evidence of the civilization en-
Iightenment and refinement of people, than the
care taken of the dead Hence it is that the trav-
eer in search for testimony of the character of a
people, who, in the early morning of time have in
habted particular locality and have, rolling ages
since buried beneath the sands of oblivion have al
ways been found Illuminating amid the toombs. The
thousands of soldiers from Tennessee who have been
killed in battle or died from the various diseases in
cident to the tented field still live and nger in the
memory of the people, and will thus continue as
long as history, song, or tradition lives.
Everywhere upon freedoms battlefield they sleep,
fossilzing into immortality.
1t is due to their memory, to their deeds Of dar-
ing and to their patriotism, that monument be
erected pointing heavenward the future resingplace
of the christian soldier and patriot.
Can the living be false to- or forgetful of the dead
whose life-blood drove treason like the Tynix be-
fore the bloodhound, beyond the confines of the
Western continent, and established the Government
to live a thousand ages, the proud mistress of the
world d? Never! no never Then let the people at
once show their appreciation of the memory Of the
deceased soldiers from Tennessee by setting foot
plan for erecting monument upon which shall
be inscribed or carved the name regiment and COM
pany, with the time and place of death of every
soldier who have died in the army from Tennessee.
The place Of erecting that monument should be
Knoxville, Tennessee, and Fort Sanders the Glib
raltar of the place in the hour Of its calamity the
spot upon which the unperishing marble witness of
the appreciation Of the living for the patriotic dead
should stand for all time to come. Who will sug-
gest the mode of raising the means, and start a sub
scription with liberal figure?
We hope that the press of the State will take hold
of the matter, and fix up the nsod1s oPeraHdi
