D A correspondent of the Raleigh Sentinel
speaking of affairs at Plymouth, N. c., says:
1.-The town is in utter ruin; but four houses
are left. All the churches have been sacked and
torn to pieces. No court house or Jail. There
are few houses that have been fitted up. and
are filled with goods, and many others are flock
ing on to the Northern cities to purchase.

~ The Raleigh Standard advocates the crea-
ton of the office of Lieutenant Governor and his
election by the people. We would much prefer
to see the number of Offices diminished than in
creased. We have got along very we'll so far
without Lieutenant Governor, and we think we
can do without for the future. Now, while
the people are heavily burdened with taxes, is no
time to create more >saiaried offices. Let cut
down expenses rather than increase them. Not
dollar should be spent by the State more than
is actually necessary. There is no great neces-
sity for Lieutenant Governor.
D We are under obligations to Mr.. J. c.
Cortney. and to Mr. L. f. Bates, Superintendent
of the Southern Express Company, for South

A New Paper to be Started.

One or two friends have recently informed Us that
the conservative party have resolved on starting
a new paper here-one that will reflect the true
Southern Union sentiment. We think this is well
enough and feel assured there Is room for several
such papers in East Tennessee. Our business Is not
to reflect but TO reRtiLate such sentiment and one
paper Of our faith and order Is enough to meet
the wants Of the country. The Conservative true
Southern Union party number l26 in this county,
and about 800 in the other twelve counties compos
ing this congressional district In the remaining
twenty counties in this end of the State, their
strength is not great as shown in the late Con-
gressional elections. The conservative paper in
Hamilton county enabled the party TO poll 36 votes
and we have no doubt but we'll conducted journal
here would increase their vote ten votes more
They polled me vote in Greene county ana if they
had paper there to combat Britton, they could
double their vote in year. by importing eonser-
vative editor! Seriously, the KNOXVILLE WIG
could not be injuriOusly affected by the establish
ment Of newspaper in every eouRty in East Ten
nessee; and when the mail routs are regularly estsb
lished-which viii be very soon-we expect to have
Just as many paying customers as we want

Personal.

A few days since we had the pleasure Of meeting,
in this city, John w Barry Esq one Of the pro
prietors of the Nashville Press and Times. Mr..
Barry is native and old resident Of Knoxville,
where he has many relatives all of whom are loyal
Mr.. B. Is now visiting the counties in Upper East
Tennessee, soliciting subscriptions to his paper We
wish him success in his undertaking. The Press
and Times is one of the livees and most ably con-
Quoted journals in the country. Its position every
question is unequivoca 1t is refreshing to read its
manly and patriotic declarations. It's principal
editor Samuel c. Mercer, is an ardent admirer and
friend of the Union men of East Tennessee, and on
every occasion where they have been assailed by
rebels and copperheads he has defended them, and
denounced their cowardly assailants.
When the war commenced Mr.. Mercer was editing
Union paper in Southern Kentucky. His paper
was suppressed and property confscated, and by
rebel troops he was driven from home. On the ar
rival of the Federal army at Nashville he started
Union paper in that city and has been in the good
work ever since. The Press and Times has the
printing of the State and Federal Governments and
is established on q firm basis. During the coming
winter the Congress Of the United States and the
Legislature of the State will be in session Cues
tions Of the gravest import involving the fate of the
loyal men Of Tennessee, will be discussed and de-
cided. At this juncture every man ought to sub
scribe to daily paper, and no one need read bet
ter paper than the Press and Times.

Stern.Wheel Preachers.

The reader Is ready to inquire what sort OF q
preacher is SteT1-lghesy preacher BE Is one who
went into the rebellion with side ,sheelS and double
engines, chaing and frettng and Boosting and blow
ing that the South would achieve her independence
dressed in fine CLOTH and sporting their huge whisk-
ers. He comes out with 8 shattered stern wheel,
and one horse engine, dressed in gray home-spun,
asking to be allowed to take the amnesty oath, as
means of saving hs property, and cooly saying that
he never took any part in trying to break up the
government. Their treason-festered hearts consti-
tute the safety raLrcS of their shattered crafts and
their record Is their lgHiSt!e, to ferment and keep
alive the troubles Of the State!
Since peace has been declared, those stern-wheel
preachers, with uplifted eyes elongated faces deep
sepulcharal tones, and raised hands, pOllute Gods
affairs with their presence where the recollection OF
treason and murder they have contributed TO bring
about sway their guilty souls and set the tune to
their hymns Of praise! These canting hypOcrites
now propose to preach to Union men the religion
of Jesus Christine religion Of the Prince of Peace,
When one Of these stern-wheel preachers rises to
address you he cannot conceal the wolf by his pray
ers for you will not be able to learn from what he
saws that there is a United States Government. And
the poison of the Upas Tree the drippings Of the
sanctuary where he holds forth These villains are
responsible for more of the misery and blood-shed
we have all passed through than any other set OF
traitors out Of hell

The DefaIcatiOn Mania

We have for months past been astonished at the
details of crime which comes up through the press
from the North and the South. We read daily Of a
wife murder or a son who shoots his father, or
posons his mother or sister. These crimes, prevail
ing as epedemics, all grow out of money, directly or
indirectly Defalcations are of daily occurrence and
bank officers and army officers, whose characters
have been above suspicion have turned thieves forg
ers, and asgassins for the sake Of gain.
Some are driven to it by losses at the gaming
table. Having once commenced embezzling, men
find it impossible to stop without subjecting them
selves to exposure and hence they plunge deeper in
until ruin overtakes them and their motives. De-
tectives all the country the track Of the
robbor and forger. Commercial earthquakes fol-
low these large defalcations-accounts and cash
books are northumberland merchants and clerks
are looked upon with suspicion who never were be-
fore suspected And yet, one-tonth part of the rob
berries the local visinies and the private orgerie
have not yet come to light. There is fearful
amount Of rascaliy in the country, and it all ha:
some connection, either directly or indirectly, viii

Death Of Gov. BrOugh.

Hos. John Brough, Governor Of Ohio, died at the
-apital Of that State on Tuesday Goth ut. aged 81
wears. He has long occupied prominent position
before the people Of Chic, and has rendered valua-
BE service 20 the State. He had been Auditor of
the State Railrosd President, and leading edi-
tJT Of the Democratic school. In the late struggle
he took the side Of the Union, and rendered yalu-
zble service in putting down the rebellion. As a
public speaker he had few equals in Ohio. His style
vas clear, forcble and eloquent. We heard him
during the late State canvass, in speech Of three
hours and half delivered in Cincinnati to several
thousand anxious listeners, and he was fluent and
logical, showing up the inconsistency and corrup-
hons Of those claiming 10 be Democrats, and mis-
representing the principles Of that tme-honored
organization. He was the founder Of the ENQUIRER
and showed what its Democracy was when he edited

There is bad state of things in BlOunt county,
and we suggest as remedy that the Sheriff arm and
mount about twenty-five men, as provided for by
law at the expense of the county and restore order
The courts are in operation there and through them
let aggrieved persons seek to be righted And while
we urge this and condemn an indiscriminate whip
ping of men, we must be permitted to remind those
who the sufferers that for eighteen msnths after
General Burnside had taken East Tennessee, mount
ed bands of rebel soldiers and rebel guerrilas were
securing that county, killing Union men, and rob-
bling Union families many of whom were harbored
and fed by rebel families who still lived in hope
that the rebels would re-possess the country, and
boosted that they would then turn upon the Lincoln
ties. The leading rebels of that county carried on
at high-handed rate, and had for their motto that
but party could live in the county. Our advice
70 that class of is that THAT they leave their
country for their country good and that they stay
away until these men who were driven out of the
country, and had their families all robbed die Of old

The DevIl and the women.

From the commencement Of the rebellion until
now the derI and the goRes Of the South have been
the ablet allies the cause Of treason had in the field
The influence Of the women, bscked up by his Sa-
tanc Majesty, filed the ranks of the rebel armies
and gave ardor and endurance to- the hen pecked
men that entered the service-Southern women even
petitioned the rebel Congress to enact the law of
conscription, so as to force all in the service
Through the influence which women had thousands
were forced into the field and thence to their graves
who never would have left home Playing into the
hands of the devil by thus filling his ranks, they
had his approval all the time. Wives gave up their
husbands sisters their brothers, and mothers their
sons-willng, nay, allrious TO immediate their lives
to the Molock Of war. The women were willing to
wear homespun-ready to dispense with the Injuries
Of table or toilet-ready TO fling all their jewelry
into the Confederate crucible-ready to unsex them
selves for the cause of the devil and the Confed-
eracy
In all parts of the South the Generalization of
women Of the female persuasion is notorious
They have abandoned their lawful husbands in many
instances, and formed new associations. And it is
matter of surprise to see with what brazen impu-
fectly aware of their confederate movements. Nor
has this wicked rebellion been without its effects
upon women North. North and South the papers
TEEN with accounts of Opponents" applications
for divorce" and murders growing out of bad faith
The devil is unclaimed, and the women are taking
the advantage of his "loose reign" Women are
passing for married women who never were mar
ried in their lives. With the impudence of the
devil they thrust themselves into society," less than
one hundred miles from where they started out upon
their career of crime Respectable ladies would do
well, in ali sections, to kaolg certainly who they are
making the acquaintance of, both among males and
females. Let time develop the merits of strangers,
as it will do, and has DONE unless parties are
associated as to render their cases clear.
We have no special cases to certify in view in
these remarks, but make them in view of what the
newspapers TEEN with, both North and South. Our
remarks and illusions are general and are only in
tended 10 hart where they apply.
