If those lioa-hearted braves who sleep
now in bloody graves at Franklin, had been
told on the eve of the sanguinary conflict
in which they sacrificed their lives that
their own people-the peopla who cheered
them on 10 the strife--the cIipoLric people
of their own dear sunny south-would 50
soon have forgotten them-would so soon
cease to remember their heroic deeds Of
Valor, they would have regarded il as an
insult and repealed it as vile SANDER. The
noble souls did not believe the people for
whom they made the sacrifice would per-
NIT 5heir bones to be ploWed up, and even
the trace of their last resting place blotted
out, Nay, they believed the Southern
people noble as themselves, and that no
sacrifice for them would be too great.
To our shame, be it said, the heroic dead
were mistaken in their estimate of the no.
bility of the South. They sleep still upon
the battle field of Franklin, and soon the
little mounds and head boards which mark
their graves are to be leveled by the plow-
man. Their bones are to be turned up to
the sun, and nobody there to gather up the
precious dust.
FellOw-soldiers !-yOu who stood beside
these braves amid she leaden storm at
Franklin!-you who can feel for noble
dead brother!-to you we appeal. Suffer
not the ashes of your dead brothers to be
plowed into cotton ridgesl We know you
are poor; but if those for whom you and
the dead at franklin fought in what they
told you was just cause, will not have
their remains removed. then you must do
it. Let a society be formed without delay.

The ork ought to be done at once. The
ground is to be planted this spring and

Tennessea,s Dead.

The dead of Tennessee are coming home.
The remains of the gallant Gen. Robert
Hatton, who fell at the battle of "Seven
Pines" were inferred few days ago at
Lebanon. The remains Of Hon. Andrew
Ewing have been carried to Nashville and
inferred. These two names, like dead
flowers, will remain about the hearthstones
of all true Tennesseans, when the miserable
satellites of ruling dynasties will be remem-

ONE of the Memphis papers is told by
an old citizen of that city that in 1928,
when the town contained population of
six or seven thousand, Capt. Shreve landed
there from the steamer George Washington
and made speech, in which he boosted
that his boat had made the trip from New
Orleans to Louisville in twenty days,
and declared that it could never be done

Letter frOm Gle County, Tennessee

Letter from Giles County, Tennessee.
I'VE find the following letter from Giles
in the Cincinnati Gazette of the 2cth inst.
We shall not attempt to correct all the in
accuracies it contains, but will give it to
our readers in full, to be read, digested and
corrected, each man for himself, with the
single remark that the words attributed to
Gen'l. Brown were never uttered by that
eminendy reticent and conservative gentle
man. We may as well remark, further,
that the peculiar friends of the Gazette's
sapient correspondent never paid for the
basement of the NJ E. Church, and have no
more right to it than the ebony popul alton
of St. Domingo. They worshipped there
simply by permission until they voluntarily
withdrew from the NJ. E. Church South,
and established themselves as branch of
the NJ. E. Church North The remark that
Mr.. Mooney, the pastor in charge, has no
interest in the salvation of free negroes" is
contemplible It is also a misrepre-

Counterfeits.

There are now splendid twenty dollar
counterfeits in circulation. purporting to be
issued by the First National Bank of In
dianapolis, and the plate will, doubtless,
soon be altered to other banks. The plate
is so perfect as to have deceived the best
judges of money in tie country. One-balf
of the higher denominations of greenbacks
are refused on account of being so success
fully initiated; the leading railroads of the
country throw out large quantities of them
when offered, and Gen. Spinner himself has
been unable to tell the counterfeit from the
genuine. This is the state of things which
bank notes, uniform in design, have brought
! upon as.
AFFAIRS in Alabama are represented by
our exchanges from the interior as in bet
! ter condition than almost any of the cotton
States. With few exceptions the people
are well satisfied with the new order of
things, and bend every effort to reclaim, as
far as may be in their power. the losses of
the war. The freedmen realize that work
is necessary for their support, and readily
enter into contsActs for the year at from
seven to zen dollars per month. Consider
ing all circumstances, the agricultural pros
poets of the State are excellent! Planters
are antering into cotton raising on large
scale, the freedmen work with alacrity, and
the most favorable results are expected.
Labor is fully equal to the demand. Saw
mills and factories are being restored and
built. Strangers are cordially welcomed,
