The Rebel Spirit Displayed.

We COPY calm and temperate account OF the
late disgracefu conduct in the Tennessee House OF
Representatives, from the Nashville Press ana
Times and call attention to it. and to the votes OF
certain East Tennessee members who are misrepre-
senting the sentiments of the people of their coun
tics Several members acted worse in going out Of
the House and refusing TO vote than those who re-
manned and voted with the revolutionists. The
CONDUCT Of the minority the more disgraceful
as they bad had the whole week for discussion
They continued their llibustering the next day,
walking about the Hall, with the& hats on, and
cursing and swearing evincng the true rebel spirit
The case has been stated TO us by parties who
were in the House and witnessed all that passed,
and they make il stronger than the Nashville pa
Der does. While the members were refusing to
vote, and walking out talking and swearing, Col.
Mullins Of Bedford an old grey-haired man, and
staunch loyalist obtained the floor and said There
are members in the House who refuse to answer to
their names, and there are others walking out to
avoid voting. believe it to be the result of pre-
vious agreement, perhaps a caucus arrangement.
To this Mr. Speaker Heiskel took offence, when,
il was thought he had no just cause for it. and IN
most excited and angry tone, enquired: Does the
member from Bedford intend to insinuate that the
Chair was privy TO any such arrangement
Col. Mullins replied in a spirited manner: do,
and would as soon suspect the Speaker as any one
else"
The Speaker sprang from his chair and pronounc-
ed the member from Bedford "a Cd ID old
liar and ID thief" at the same time throwing
his hammer with violence at Mullins, and missing
the head of John Caldwell of East Tennessee, about
two feet.
Col Mullins retorted with emphasis, in loud
tone Of voice: " You are a Cd ID liar, id
old scouudre partial presiding officer and one Of
the conspirators" Mullins started towards the
Speaker with his hand in his pocket, and perso-
nal collision alone prevented by rush of the
members between the parties.
The foregoing is the version given by members
Of the House and by citizens. We make no COM
ments but give the facts to the public they have
been reported by eyewitness to the scene.

Calvin Nj. DYER.

We knew the late Col. Dyer intimately. He
was an unselfsh patriot and honorable gentleman:
ofpureprivate character. His generosity and amis-
bity were displayed in his every word and act
Tender ard eonfding as a child he was as brave
soldier as ever fred shot or drew a sabre in the
face of an enemy. In 1862 he left a comfortable
home and walked to the Union army in Kentucky,
which he Joined as a private soldier, enlisting in
the gallant LIST Tennessee Cavalry, of which Robert
johnson, lson OF the President) was Colonel APP
preciating his noble qualities Col johnson soon had
him commissioned lst Lieutenant. After serving
with distinction in this capacity hs promoted to
to Major in 1868. We in the camp of the
regiment at the time he received this promotion,
and 60 highly WAS he esteemed by officers and men
that there was dissatisfaction the part of any,
and several officers who ranked him and over
whom he was promoted cbcerfully scquiesccd in the
same Blessed with fine constitution he was al
ways ct his post able for duty. When Col. johnson
resigned the lst of June 1853, Major Dyer was pro
NOTED Lieutenant Colonel. When the Wheeler raid
was made on Nashville, the gallant lst Tennessee
Cavalry was engaged with three times its number
Soon fter the fight commenced, the Colonel of the
regiment, (Gen Jas P. Brownlowl fell shot through

command. and most calamity did he bear himself
in the unequal contest
On one occasion we saw him in battle, we saw
his manly form in the thckest of the fray leading
MS men where the bullets Of the enemies of his
country fell thick and fast around him. He was in
about sixty engagements and skrmishes and at no
time did that generous heart, now stiIled in death,
grow faint; or that manly face blsnch with fear
Alas, he has gone, gone where,
There lurks treason, where envy swclls;
There grows damned grulges, there are no storms
No noise, hut silence and eternal sleep
How hard the fate that he who had passed
through innumerable battles,
Where louder than the bolts OF heaven.
Far flashed the red artillery"
should, at last fall At the hands OF brutal coward
The remains of our, friend have been inferred
twenty-five miles from this city at New Market
On the spot where he sleeps 1.-The sleep of death,
he has bravely borne the flag of his country in the
charge. There is not a loyal East Tennesseean
who would not drop tear upon the grave of the
Young patriot In his death Tennessee has lost one
Of her best citizens
To the ide spread grief Sc an entire community
is added the unutterable of the orphan sisters
of the deceased, bowed down with sorrow at the
untimely death of only and afectionate brother
May he who tempeFs the winds to the shorn
lamb" pour the oil of consolation upon the hearts
which have been made to bleed at this affecting dis
pensation of his providence
He is gone But, bereaved ones,
On fs anne. eternal "a , camping ground
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac Of the dead

4 Notorious Liar.

The Cincinnati Gazette recently published Sc
we're article on Truman correspondent of the New
York Times, who has been writing home highly
favorable accounts of the regeneration of the South
ern rebels, and has severely rebuked the Radical
papers. The Memphis Avalanch thinks he wont do
even if he does puff the South. 1t says:
The New York Times has correspondent by the
name of D. c. Truman. The name is a misnomer
for Truman tells falsehos3s- He mas recently been
down South. During his pe7egrinstlons ne visited
Memphis. While here he CROPPED about the sewers OF
filth for morsels Of petty scandal with whlch 10
plish his dirty work he had to manufacture ISLANDERS.
He writes about three of the ia, Confederate Gen
erals, and tells lie about Of them and we pre-
sumo all Of them.

Judicial Officers.

The Governor has appointed majority of all the
Judicial officers of the State and ofthe whole num-
Der not one is charged with a want of capacity or
integrity. Those who differ with him on the great
questions of the day are compelled to admit that his
appointees are competent and honest. Then why
this camor from so-called conservatives for proc
lamation from him ordering Judicial elections
throughout the State 1t is either because they
want the three oaves and two little fishes" or de-
sire to those get them of their own political par
ty They will fail in exciting any prejudice ION the
part of Union people, against the Governor on this
subject by telling them the Governor usurps power
in making these appointments and deprive them of
an opportunity to vote for these officers From the
same men the people have heard the lamented Lin
coin charged with "usurpation of power" in every
effort he aud loyal Congress made for the suppress
sion of rebellion.
The charge of "usurpatiOn against loyal officers,
made by copperheads, has more effect upon the
loyal men of Tennessee than the whistling of the
wind.
1t has not been the effort or desire of Governor
Brownlow togive satisfaction to eopperheads. He
would sooner repose confidence in the rebel who
fired the first gun on Fort Sumter.
While the Judiciary is filed with honest, compe-
tent and loyal men, the loyal people will be satisfied
and they will not find fault with the Governor be-
cause of his purpose to guard against the probabili
ty possibility of the election of batch of rebels
for the Supreme Bench of the State, or of rebels
for inferior judicial positions in disloyal sec
tons After our franchise law is tested sufficient
ly guarantee the election of loyal men in all par
of the State, the Governor will order elections and
not until then.
In both branches of our loyal Legislature, reso-
lutions asking the Governor to order these elections
have been voted down by large majorities. These
Legislators represent the loyal men of the State.
Much time is consumed by the orators of JAILED
conservative meetings in discussing this subject in
the hope of accomplishing their purpose to have
these elections
We will inform them that their orations are use
less. They had as well attempt to whistle down
the wind or force feather against the tempest by
casting it from the hand as TO accomplish their OBJ
jects in this matter.
In loyal section of the State has there been any
difference of opinion among loyal men as to who
should FIJI jndicial offices except in the 4th and eth
judicial Circuits. In this circuit, under the Gov
ernors proclamation, the people elected their iud
cial officers.
In other circuits, where LoyaL men can be elected,
the loyal peOpo will have an opportunity to elect
Them if they express to Gov. Brownlow their de-
sire to do SO. He claims TO be the servant of the
loyal people of Tennessee, but not of rebel sympa-
thizers

Rebel Abuse.

The Mobile Ala Register denounces Governor
Brownlow after the most approved style of belngs-
gate and characterises all the newspapers in Ten
nessee which sustain him as "rotte at heart and to
the CORE and raitorous to the true and noble prn-
ciples of the Union and the Constitution"
The editors of the Register are bloody-handed
traitors to the Union and Constitution and aided
materially in bringing on the war. In noticing
their denunciaton of the Union press Of Tennessee
and the Governor, the Cincinnati Commercial ICON
seryaive facetiously discourses after the following
style:
Constitution those reconstructed papers are. One
would suppose they had never deserted them when
imperied by armed hosts of traitors, and that
Brownlow had been engaged in a war to overthrow
them. Such deroticn is affecting"
