HuLs AID HoLLows, March 10, 1866.
To the Editor Nashville UniOn.
This evening my nabur, 10. jenkins,
came over to see me, & brought 8 news
paper he had Jest got from Nashville, con
tanning a long piece from Brownlow, called
a proclamation, in which he SAYS some of
the legislator men has been actin mighty
bsd.-It seems they has been resigniug 4
sieh, to keep from passia q law to keep
him & his man Fletcher in Office; and ne
says he has 20 have some new elections.
But what seems singular 10 me & 10, is that
he soriy expects the people are SO plaggy
bad that they via lect the ssme men agin.
Il he iutimates right out, ef they do he will
lave the military put right over them.
Vow what we want to know Of you, me a
10, x hole heap3f us, who live in the hills,
is, if this amt pretty high handed talk !
Amt it worser han Isham G.'s talked in
1867 Has Brownlow the power 10 make
us vote jest as be plesses? Must we vote
for jest SIGH men as he wants, or be put
under the military? Hadn't lie better
pint um, at onct?
But then we want TO know if B~rownlow's
got the power TO subvert the civil authority?
We been thinking that Andy Johnson are
President and therefore commaudes-iu-
chief Of the army d navy Of the United
States. Is that SO? All the people, iuclu-
ding the womin & childsr, are for Andy in
these digsius. VIII be low Brownlow il
Fletcher % send soldiers 10 take us, eff we
don't vote as they want U.s. as they threaten
in their proclamation?
But will tell you we intend 10 risk the
consequences as We did 10 O.. Some Of a.,
me d 10 among them, wouldn't vote as q
governor down thar at Nashville wanted US
TO then. 1t was pretty hard TO ltsni up
then agin executive dictation because the
most folks was with the governor. But it
is not so now. In these Hih and HolIows,
everybody that votes viii vote as be pleases
in spite Of Fletcher and Brownlow.

Condition of Affairs an Alabama
Progress of Restoration Cotton
and the Negro.
The following private letter from a
weI-known gentleman of Alabama to
Hon. H. T. Blow, member of Con gress
from Missouri, has been handed to US
for publication. 1t contains infOrma-
ton of general public interest:
FLORENCE, Ala Feb. q, 1850.
Hon. fenry T. Blow:
DEAR SR: I see YOU have got
in a wonderful muss about the admis
sion of our Southern members. l was
in hopes that you politicians could have
agreed upon some plan by which tins
question could have been amlcably
settled. l have never been much of q
politician. o was I a follower Of JEFF
Davis & Co. / did not belong to that
party known as the Secession Party,
and had but little to do with the late
rebellion; but it had much to do with
me. as l lost all / possessed by it. This
being my position, ! think l have the
right to speak. l must say to you that
l was very epprehensiVe as to the course
Gov. Parsons adopted at the outset in
~reorganizing Jul State; but the thing
worked so admirably that my doubts
have all vanished. I never have seen
more peace and quiet in the country
than exists at this time; everybody is at
work, a new order of things has sprung
up-such prosperity l never expected
TO see in this country. No history
that | have read records anything like
tit would astonish you and your
friends in Congress if you were here TO
witness It.
/ am happy to state to you that our
free negroes are doing finely. We have
10 trouble with them; they have all
gone TO work manfully; they give an
impetus TO trade that we never had. l
have sold Jack Peters negroes more
goods this year and last year than l
ever sold Peters and he owned $50 ne
groes. So you see the free negro system
is working well with US.
The Freedmen's Bureau is a perfect
humbug. l have watched its operations
here closely. No use for it in the
world. Any two good citizens can wit
ness negro contracts as well as officers,
most Of whom can't read Besides, they
are making money out of it, charging
- for every contract. There was a lot
Of negroes called on me a few days ago
TO write them petition, and they would
get AL to sign it, and send it to Mr.
Sumner, to have the whole thing abol
ished. The negroes in this country
have heard Of M. Sumner. They think
he viii and can do for them anything
they want, but l told them it was use
leEs, and they abandoned it.
! have written You this much TO in
form you how We are getting along, and
what the country is doing. What
have stated you can reply upon.
| do hope you will not find it ncces
sary TO increase the tax on cotton.
fear it would work badly. Tax tn,
luxuTies, but not the necessaries. The
best informed Of Jul negroes are kick
ing up at this increased tax. They
thlnk 1t is lick at them.
Hoping hat all things will work on.
to the happiness and prosperity Of ou'
whole country, Iremain yours, &c,

The Public Debt.

We ask the attention Of u readers
10 the following words, copied from the
Richmond Examiner.
"The p~retence that the Southern
people favor reputation is utterly
without foundation, and is the fabrica-
ton simply of a class of presses and
orators to whom truth is an utterly IN
known virtue. We Go not remember
to have heard even q single person IN
the South express q desire for Tepudia-
ton. We have nothing to gain by
such a step that we can discover. We
are q part of the country, and have to
bear our share of the expenses Of the
Government. Set aside this debt, and
any attempt to negotiate O fresh loan
would only involve a higher interest
and heavier taxation. Foreign capital
would quit the country, and domestic
capital would seek COuCealment. We
might enlarge on these views, but it IS
needless. We may add that higher
motives influence our action-motives
which, we regret 20 say, Our enemies
seem unable 10 comprehend in others,
or act upon themselves. When we
took the oath Of allegiance and am
nesty, it was, SIS we all understood, con
tract that we would support the Gov
eminent, enjoy its full protection and
the privileges which the Constitution Sc
cures. We took the Government cum
oHsrc-debt and all With most of
that debt we had nothing before to do,
but having accepted the Government
we accepted also its debt, sud we have
no disposition 10 shirk u part of the
contract, let the Radicals be as fsithless
as they may. To accepts Government,

We are, then, for paying the debt
And how Is that debt eyer to be psid2
By bIisbtiug the industry of eleven
States with the curse of military rule:
by REFRESHING energy and driving OF
capital, which would flow IN if the
reicu of order and the rule Of Courts
were once more tslablished2 Most
certainly not Give the South her re
presentation in the Constitution, with
draw military rule, and leave her peo-
pie free to develop their industry, and
in o brief period her rich products
would be swelling the national wealth,
a-agmputine the revenue, and aiding to
pay the public debt IL il this result

South has 10 heaTtsar more than bau-
blcs OF political power that we strive
