Tennessee 3 Warning.

So u~npleasantly does the state of sf-
fairs 10 Tennessee affect rejecting
minds in the states further South, they
are disposed to shun a example and
hold it up As a warning. But for the
evil men in our midst, who have borne
none Of the burdens Of the war, and
shared none of its dangers, the State
might have been recognized quietly,
and without the necessity Of invoking
the strong arm Of military authority TO
aid the enforcement Of the civil law

men As Etheridge and his hackers,
Southern men feel, have an injurious
effect upon the popular mind Of the
North, and incline those who have

people, and to exact conditions of re
organization which would not other
