LETTERS FRoN TESsEssEK
Gen. FarneswoFth, of Illinois, is in
receipt of letters from two Unisa men
in the Tennessee Legislature, which
gives an account of affairs in that State.
From one of these letters dated Janu-
airy l, 1866. the following extfacts sre
made: the great Republican party
fail us now, the war has been in vain.
Tennessee has not yet passed sny law
to protect the colored people in their
rights, and they have no protection but
such as Is given them by the Federal
Government IhaFe heard Mr.. Seward

lature and people agree to do Justice

ing date Jan. IA, 1866, the following ex-
tract is made; The government must
keep strong military force for some
time in the Southern States and even in
my own State. This will be necessary.
Our people are still insulted and spit
upon. Many communities in Middle
Tennessee suffer many indignities only
because they were true to the Union
during the war. l often hear Isham
g. Harris spoken of as far superior in
patriotism TO Andrew johnson, and the
prayer is often made that the Govern
ment may fall into q difficulty with
France or England, in order that the
Southern Confederscy may be estab-
lished. Many more say that the rebel
lion is not put down, and that their
cause is just; and agree with them
that it is not put down, and that there
is much work yet to do, and my opin-
ion is that the most successful way to
do this is to keep out of the Halls of
Congress sll such men as Campbell and
Cooper, and others of their views
Maynard, Taylor, Fowler and Stokes
would help US, if they alone could be
admitted"
From another letter, dated January
29, 1866. the following is extracted:
"You will see by the vote yesterday
that we stood Al TO % agasnst the i'm
mediate admission of our Congressional
delegation, and that one of the delega-
tion even votes with US against their
admission. l think that we shall soon
have to give the vote to the colored
men, for we must in some way disarm
the rebels. We must numerically kill
them or keep the South under military
rule"
