AMI AR ON TIE CHATTANOOGA

ArAAAN
.eftc. edited By our genial and gallant 5
Hood, contained a sharp criticism
upon the epistles Of our brilliant and
friend Bin ARP. It read as fol-
"The latest aspirant in the arena Of
e0mic f?) literature. has written a letter
in the Nashville Rrpuo1c01'
Of Sunday, in which he indulges in con
siderable growing 40 some thing2 when
do not suit him ia the Reconstruction o.
the country. Perhaps he has 81 risbt 70

AZ '~harmOnizing' are not likely 70
succeesi. while you are indul2lng IN q
terms a. calling the Union men o. INC
south tories and 'siink-hcsrted fe!-
and the Union men North Black
Republican pups.' Because You could
not kill of your enemies as last as they
were imported Is no reason why you
should keep up an il-feellngr winch
true men are trying % snn0oth
down. Do Won expect to better
the matter by the use Of such
language as this: "Im thankful amt

give such expression 20 their feelings.
Again YOU say "Wel. 81 the war is

BIZ Arp cannot staRd this, ami comes
back with the following:
GslVe Sur: T don't think YOU tote
fair. I havn't expressed my lasCrated
feeiins in Publik but twice -il-e the war.
7 didsnt live in C-haJJan1g-r, and 7 did
eC- hav no TT-ef. For about three
months You hg.lied Us in F1u- paper to
YOUR entire abstraction. Until ltr John
sin s0rter took up for IL, You never sent
q sheet On Rome that dluleu- hurt our
fselins and bore into or hearts 7 Ike q
cotton gimlet. You copied from Yankee
papers the meaneSt Of their SANDER, and
il seemed 70 DE perfectly convaIilI with
Your sentiments.
Well sur, we bore IL like an Tuiun. We
bore il silently and proud. We looked AZ
our des0iated land, our lonesome CHM
news, Our grave yaEd-, where you IN
buried our dead and sunk your rifle pits;
where you broke 70 fragments the iron
railing, and took the very tomh-t0a1s u
put I'm your Qualifications. We read your
? eZaltations Of Northern bravery and
Southern treason, and we sk0rled YOU
from the bottom Of our hearts. Now
when Of late IN humble individual makes
bold % bust his DI.er and express his sen
timeu1s in two breef letters, YOU get up
like a SsnktiGed preacher and read him q
pIblik Texture about h~Qrut8Hi-ip. Cen
tis sur, IL don't bckum YOU. When I've
iusu-Jed YOU about two thousand times
we viii be even. But I don't intend 70
insult You AZ all. Ii YOU are an honest
man and a generous CoHqueTor, [ aim
after YOU. When You make al effort 10
convince Mr.. HypCr's Hgs5gy and the
black Republicans, that cur people. from
/. Gen. Lee and Mr.. DAVIS down TO the
high private, are just IS good, and brave
and honorable as they are, IuLa-monize
with You.
