The following letter from Governor Brownlow
appears in the Cincinnati Gazette:
STATE or TENNESSEE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
NASHVILLE, November 13, 1865
To the Editors of the Cincinnati Gazette In
your paper of Saturday find this notice:
Governor Brownlow robbed of $500 and his watch
hghwaymen Nashville, while he riding
with Horace Maynard, on Friday evening"
This is a mistake. Itwas my son, the Adju-
tant General Of the State, who was riding in
buggy with son Of Horace Maynard. am too
prudent man to ride out on any road leading
from or coming into Nashville, other than rail-
road. This whole country abounds in thieves
and robbers, any of whom would murder q man
for his watch or for five dollar bill. Despite of
all the vigilance exercised by the civil and mill
tary authorities, murders and robberies are of
daily occurrence-both in Nashville and the sur
rounding counties of Middle Tennessee. As loud
and as numerous as are the complaints against
East Tennessee by the papers of Nashville and
certain class of politicians there are few of these
Outrages perpetrated in Middle Tennessee to eve
~ one that occurs in the eastern division of the
State. To be candid, there is almost rs much
dislovaty in Middle Tennessee there was
in 1861 And this is so of the whole South,
minus the number of disloyal men who are
under ground Tennessee is in a much better
condition than any of the seeded States, and
she has great room for improvement. Six
or seven out of her eight representatives in
Congress are true and loyal men, and for the
good Of the State and nation, | should like to
see them admitted to seats in the approaching
session. But this | cannot say of the other
Southern States. They will not elect loyal men
to Congress can loyal man be elected Gov
ernor of one Of those States Their conventions
and legislatures overwhelmingly rebel, and
will be for years to come. Their candidates for
Governor, Congress and the Legislature, as we'll
for county officers, urge their claims for votes
on the ground that they had done all in their
power to aid the rebellion They are for assum-
ing the rebel debt, and they are for legislat-
ing Northern men out of the South
In word, the rebels of the South have by no
means abandoned this long-cherished idea of
separating TIE Government They are looking
to this end and more, they organizing with
Il view to this result. They do not propose to
dissolve the Union by the use of the sword and
bayonet. They have tried this in a wicked war
OF four dreary years, and signay failed. Their
purpose is to accomplish their Internal plans
through the ballot-box in Congress, and they
look TO the Copperhead Democracy and other
Northern traitors to aid them. Thank God the
recent elections at the North have blasted their
hopes for the present. and taught them that the
real people. the loyal masses of the great North,
are all right.
/ Ny hopes for the future are in the goodness,
the obstinate loyalty and determined purposes of
the Republican majority i'll Congress l pray
! c od they will not admit rebels into Congress
indiscriminately, because they have taken the
amnesty oath, or obtained the Executive pardon.
rs President Johnson says, let them occupy the
back seats for few years.
am one of those at the South who believe
this has closed out two years too soon
The rebels have been whipped but not whipped
enough.
For saying these thing l expect to be abused
by all rebel papers South, and by all traitorous
able to stand their abuse | am for the
American Union, regardless of the hate of
sections, the of parties or the malice OF in
dvduas.
