The first paragraph Of this letter calls on

rebellios and treason, aud to overlook tn
fact that they have given neither indemnit,
| for the past, nor security for the future

on earth would require before restorin,
traitors to all their forfeited privileges.
Gov. Brownlow-with hundred other

Colfax reason enough why Congress hold

son should have some little time TO get Out
OF its blood, and to get its blood-stai
hands washed before being introduced into
decent and loyal and law-abiding company
again. But Southern treason and ipsolepce
and impudence stand out without parallel
10 the worlds history.
Read the Governor of Tenuesies-
standing upon different footing al
together, it does not follow that if Tennes-
seeans are admitted, the Representatives
from other States lately 10 rebellion must
come in also. Not man South Of Tennes-
see should be admitted until those States
manifest less of the spirit Of rebellion, and
elect q more loyal set of men, and men who
can take the Congressional test oath, which
but few of them can do.
''If the removal of the Federal tr6ops
from Tennes ssee must necessarily follow up-
on the admission of our Congressional dele
CATION to their seats, why, then, and In that
case, the loyal men of Tennessee beg 10 be
without representation in Congress. But
our members can be admitted, and mill

through you, all whom it may concern, that
without law to disfranchise Rebels, and
a force to carry out the provisions of that
law, this State will pass into the hands of
the Rebels. and terrible state of affairs is
bound to follow. Union men will be driven
from the State, forced to sacrifice what they
have, and seek homes elsewhere. And vet,
Tennessee is in much better condition than
any Of the other revolted States, aud affords
q stronger loyal population
Those who suppose the South is re-
constructed and that her people cheerfully
accept the results of the war, are fearfully
deceived! The whole South is full of the
spirit of rebellion, and the people are grow
ing more bitter and insolent every day.
Rebel newspapers are springine up all over
the Southland speaking ouain terms OF bitter
ness and reproach against the government
OF the United States. These papers lead
the people, and at the same time reflect
their sentiments and feelings. OF the

The following anecdote of Mr.. Lincoln il
told by correspondent of the New Yori
Times:

Of Congressmen, officials, &C., among the
first to present themselves were two quite
aged people. They were plain country peo
pie, poorly clad, but with frank, open coun-
tenances Nov is your time, DEAR" said
the husband. as the President politely dis
missed the one preceding them. The lady
stepped forward, made low courtesy, and
said. "Mr. President.
Mr.. Lincoln, locking over his specs, fixed
those gray, piercing, yet mild eyes upon
her. then lifted his head and extending his
hand, said, in the kindest tones: swell,

and then told him he might 60 fight the
rebels, and now if you will let me take him

his Inns quivered as he replied:
"Yes, yes God bless you you shall have
your son. What hospital did you say" It
seemed relief to him to turn aside and
write few words, which he handed to the
woman, saying: "There. give that to -;

simon,s wife.

A friend just returned from New York
tells a pretty good story of an Illinoissn,
who stopped at the same hotel. On Sun
day the Western man, being desirous Of
hearing several Of the more famous pulpit
orators of the metropolis. went 10 the morn
ing to DR.. Chapin's church, and heard a
stranger preach from the text: "And ST.
mons wifes mother lay sick OF fever. "
lu the afternoon he went to Beecher's Ply.
mouth church, and heard the same discourse
from the same preacher. Goiag in the
evening to DR.. Osgood's church. he found
the same clergyman and the same theme
"Simon's wife mother lay sick with fe.
yer. The next day the patient hearer Of
the thrice told discourse was crossing to
Brooklyn in ferry boat when the alarm
bell of park agitated the air with its great
huge shocks of sound. and man behind
him inquired why that bell was tolling. =
Looking up, he saw the familiar counte-
nance Of the preacher, and was prompt to
reply: II think Simon's wife's mother must
be dead /; heard three times yesterday that
she was sick Of fever. "

hesitated to authenticate, but affirmed that
he was an honest lawyer, carried his person

dealt literally with men as to the manner in
which he treated his clients in their cases.

points Of his legal character are illustrated

ALARMING TIMEs-WAR THREATESED BY
THE RADICALS We take the following from
the Chicago Tribune of July lOth--the high
est Radical authority of the West:
1.-THE Republican party is now standing al
most as II unit against the Presidents policy.
with only half dozen in the great party that
elected him, to sustain his apostacy. Con.
gress is solid against him, and the majority
of the Cabinet will sooD leave him. We do
not complain of any for the tenacity with
which they have chung to him. But it is at
least proper that those Republicans WHO as
sailed US for opposing his policy as soon as
he issued his North Carolina Proclamation.
and for asserting that his fna! and wilfll
abandonment of the party began with that
act, should now have the grace to concede
that we were correct. Because they could not
trace political principle to its conclusions,
or dednce from political act its consequent
ces, they insisted that there was no real cues
ton at issue between the President and his
party. Blind guidesl They would denounce
to day, as equally rash, our prediction that
the Presidents course, if persisted in, can
end only in his impeachment and removal, or
in revolution. Yet such are the logical con
sequences of his false position. He can back
down and be safe. If he holds on his way,
let the country prepare to act promptly in the
hour of DANGER for his views of what the
Constitution authorizes him to do, vastly diff
fer from those of the loyal people of the coun
try. Time and events will develop this diff
ference
