The Macon GA Telegraph notices the arrival in
that city of Samuel r. Anderson, late Major Gen
eral of the so-called Confederate Army. 1t says
ave had the pleasure yesterday of meeting in
office that sterling patriot and gentleman, Gen.
s r. Anderson, Of Nashville, Tennessee. The Gen
eral bore conspicuous part in early struggle for
Independence. Weare pleased 10 find him in good
health and hopeful, even of Tennessee, which seems
destined TO harder lot than any of her Southern
sisters.
The "hard lot TO which Tennessee seems destined,
in he opinion of Gen. Anderson and this Georgia
editor, that of being governed for the ensuing two
years by a loyal Legislature and Governor. The Ex-
ecutives of every other insurrectionary State have
appointed to offices of honor and profit men who
contributed most to the rebellion. Gov. Brownlow
has appointed nearly all the judicial officers of the
State. In some localities in Tennessee there were
not enough loyal men-old residents-to fill the Of
fees. In such cases he has appointed gentlemen
who have settled in the State during and since the
war terminated; men who peried their lives on the
battlefield TO rescue Tennessee from the malestrom
Of TREASON. In this the Governor has given NOR
tai ol.ense to Tennessee conspirators. In word,
The difference between Tennessee and other rebel
States consists in there being distinction drawn in
disreputable TO have been loyal to the Federal flag

MURDER IN JACKSON, TLNN.-On New Years
day a fatal affray occurred IN jackson Tenn, re-
sulting in the death of Capt. James Boyd c. S. a,
from pistol shot fred by man named VIM. Roak.
The above is taken from Memphis paper. We
would like to hear an explanation from Knoxville
Conservative s of the of murder in rebel town
and county. If there were plausible excuse they
would attribute every murder committed in the
state to the Union spirit of East Tennessee Jack
son is several hundred miles from East Tennessee,
and one Of the rebel strongholds of the State Oc-
curences of the character referred to are of fire.
quent occurrence in the rebel districts of Tennessee
East Tennessee is the only portion of the State where
perfect quiet and obedience TO law exists The only
portion in which men have not been way-laid for
their watches and pocket-books.

STATE OF TENNESSEE,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Nashville, Feb. LIST. lSC


IT, tie Editor OF tie Press and Times:
l wish TO answer through your paper large num-
Der of letters inquiring whether the March elections
will be held, and whether 1 will issue any proelama-
ton ordering the election and alss whether the eec
ton will be valid in counties illegally registered uH-
der the Suffrage law of June last.
1t is only IN special elections to fill vacancies in
Legislative or Judicial Offices that any Executive
proclamation or writs of election are necessary
The March election Is general election the day Of
holding it is fixed by the Constitution and no proc
lamation or wFits of election are necessary It is
the business of the County Court and Sheris tosee
that these elections are held according to the Con-
stution and laws of the State and to install the Of
fcers elected have nothing to do with it except
to issue commissions to Justices of the Peace, and
in that matter 1 shall decide for myself after the
election aad not before All other questions are ju-
dicial, and will be decided by the Courts when they
arise.
Of course it is expected that these elections will
be held in accordance with all the laws including
the act to limit the elective franchise" A gross
and general disregard of the laws of the State may
require my interpositi0n as Governor bound to see
that the laws are executed. But / sincerely hope
that such contingency may occur, and shall ffoi
decide upon my course in advance
Respectfully,

Reported Serious Difficulty at Darian
between United States Troops and
Citizens

Passengers by the steamboat which arrived in
this city from Darien Saturday reports that quite
an outbreak occurred there a week ago last Satur-
day, between some of the soldiers and citizens. We
have heard so many conflicting statements regard
ing the origin of the difficulty, that refrain pub
fishing anything which will reflect upon either par
ty, until we are able to give something more than
an ex parte account. During the fracas several
shotswere exchanged between the soldiers and citi
zens and several persons reported to have been
severely handled. The excitement at one time run
pretty high and fears were entertained that blood
shed would terminate the hoSilities. Mr.. CogdelTs
store was attacked by the troops and completely
Quilted of its contents of the soldiers receiving
severe cut in the head from an iron Veg ht thrown
at him by one of the clerks in Mr.. Cogdelrs en-
ploy. The emute began on Saturday morning, and
was quelled that evening, but was renewed again
on Monday until finally it became necessary 10 no
tify the Mayor of Darien that unless the citizens
dispersed to their homes and thus alsyed the excite
msnt, the military would not be responsible for
their safety. The Mayor at once ordered the cti-
zens to repair to their homes and this had the de-
sired effect subduing the trouble and restoring Or
der and quietness We have heard from one party
that of the citizens grossly insulted our SOL
diers without the slightest provocatbDn while 9TH
assert that the troops began the difficulty by mo-
testing innocent citizens. We shall undoubtedly
ceiVe full and impartial account of this distus-
bance within few days; until that time we fOrbear

This case was laid before General Thomas, who
promptly and very property annulled the action
taken by Captain Huffman, and ordered the re-
opening Of the eating house. The only hurt man
in the experiment is the negro and all such extreme
measures viii result in the injury ST the negro pep
ulation The negro ought 20 have more sense and
modesty than to allow himself to be thrust forward
in this way by indiscrete officers, who are e.peri-
Dieating at his cost, The comparative few military
posts now occupied in the South will not be held
many years, and the negro should so demean him
self as TO be on kind terms with the whites when
the troops are all withdrawn. He is certainly the
best friend of the colored man who advises this
course, and he is his worst enemy who would rush
him into collision yith the white population
