Rev. Dickey's last Letter.

For ths Eat TaHneUse tRioH Fleg.
Cart. GEO. EDGAR GRESHAM, Ed. Union Flag:
Having carefully read the Rev. J. W. Diekey's
last letter, published in the Bristol News, !
cannot consent to stoop so low as so write
an answer to an article so y%luueIRe and uneisr-
zeal in its character, lie has signally failed
TO answer my last article, as an uAprejudic-
ed public will testify. In making an attempt
to answer it, he has worked himself up UNI
til he has become angry, and the result is a
spasmode efusion. If the spasn upon him
was eiome, ! have some hopes Of his recove-
ry bnt il it is tonic, l am fearful that it may
result in a disease called fi-dnus. Should
that be the case, something serious may take
place. ! would therefore advise him th shut
himself up 10 an ice house, until this violent
paroxysm has subsidized. But If this treatment
fails to have the desired effect, he had better
cross the Ohio river, and see whether this
will not have a s%alutary eject upon him, as
he remarked in his eJplIiioH, that " ii would
be better TO keep between us a deep river
about MS wide as the Ohio, across which peO-
pie cannot conveniently quarrel"
would say in conclusion, my dear brother,
il you cannot exhibit a Christian spirit when
you write, you had better cease doing so,
and join the Quakers,' then you will go
when and where the spirit moves you"
'Tis all in vain, Bro. Dickey, this rage that
tears thy BOSOM
Like poor bird that futters in its cage,
Thou bea,st thyself to death"
When you have tnrried long enough across
the Ohio river for your " beard to grow
and you can write without exhibiting so
much anger, and the newspaper in which you
write is freely open to hear discussed in a
Christian spiri. both sizes Of the question,
las you seem to think there are two sides !
shall be pleased to discuss the question
with you or any other one.
As you appear to have - Amalgamation,
and Sc Miscsgenationr on the brain, I would
advise you 20 read, and carefully aud prayer
fully study the FIRST FIVE verses Of the sew
enth chapter Of Matthew.

The custom Of writing letters of inquiry
concering lost friends or those not heard
from for a long time, TO editors, and spost-
masters in the localities where they are sup
.TSsed to be, has obtained TOO long for the
credit Of this age universally Soasted of for
its general enlightenment and means OF
quick communication Of Intelligence.
A great many people who Aave never been
farther from home than the nearest smithy
md grist mill and have the least conception
of the time aud toll required in conducting
a newspaper or post Office, think tsat edi-
tors and postmasters have nothing else to do,
bat answer inquiries, hunt up their kinfolks,
and reader themselves agreeable and useful
IN every possible way to the grateful public.
0fcogrse if tbeif letters are not duly hon-
Ored they get violently angry.
To say the least Of it, this method Of in
qairt maniiests great stupidity and ignorance.
Every MAJ Of sense knows that an editor,
postmaster or any other public man has
ehough on his hands to require his tShos at
t%ention, and even if he we're disposed to an
sUer every fool that torments him for such
information, he oflentimes forgets to do so,
or is prevented by the crowding duties ofhis
business.
saTo advertise is the quickest, mos, reliable
and certainly the most honorable method Of
obtaining the kind Of information referred TO-.
Thus, you address the public instead Of
Only one man and there is a probability of
Jour inquiries coming under the immediate
observation Of those for whom you are in
search. A wise man always adyertizes when
he olicits..disinterested favors, but a fool and
miSF do the reverse.

Many Of them having had extended to them

higheraim than to ally themselves with an old
broken down aristOcracy, are ready at all
times TO give these traitors aid and comfort.
East Tennesseeans having become fully

The Trial of JEFF. Davis.

AAO "AAbA VI ONA" ObFAos
TIE Washington correspondent of
tho Boston advertiser, under the
date Of the 18th says:
"Therei is much discussion here con-
corning the trial of Jefferson Davis.
1t will recollected that Chief Justice
Chase, when applied to last fall on the
subject BY the president, replied that
lie so much doubted tho propriety of
holding Circuit Courts of the United
States in States which have been do
cidcd by an executive and legisla-
tive departments Of the national gov
ernm cnt to be in rebellion, and there
fore DO subject to martial law, before
the complete restoration of their bro.
ken relations with the nation and su.
persedure Of the military by the civil
administration, that he was unwilling
to hold such courts in any such States
within his circuit, which should in.
cludc Virginia, until Congress shall
have an opportunity to consider and
act on the whole subject.
tits nov held by some that as the
rebellion has by tho recent peace proc
lamation, bceu declared at an end, no
reason exists for refusing to hold a
court in Virginia, and it is asserted
by Judge John C. Underwood that ar
engagements r making to hold the
regular term ut Richmond next week.
This assertion is supported in part by
the fact that Gen. Terry is known to
DO engaged in trying to 6nd the roc
ord Of tho last term held there before
the war. 1t is also known that the
Attorney General is engaged in MAX
ing preparations for the trial, or, to
speak moro exactly, has resumed the
preparations begun long ago and sus.
pended during the winter. II is stat
ed at his Office that tho trial may take
place within two months, and that it
will be for high treason. The counsel
mentioned for Mr.. Davis are Charles
O'Connor and James T. Brady, Of
New York, VIM, B. Reed, of Phila-
dolphia, and u prominent Southern
lawyer, while Dir. VIM. NJ. Evarts, of
New York, is given as n of the gen
tlemen who will appear for tho Gov
eminent with the Attorney General.
While on the one hand it would
appear that, as Congress has taken no
action on the subject, the original OBJ
lection Of the Chief ustice is still valid
it is suggested, on the other hand,
that he was not decided and positive
in his reasons at that time, and may
now have reached different %conelu-
sions. 1t has already been stated
that the President does not hold that
his proclamation either discontinued
martial law or restored tho privilege
Of the writ of hd6 cas- corpus.
The desire of the Attorney Gensr-
al, is known to those who have lately
.conversed with him, and two mem.
bers Of the Cabinet are responsible for
most ofthe points made in this para
II can hardly be doubted that
the coming ten or twelve days will
settle the matters herein involved"

The attempt of tho President to
get possession of the papers implica-

tion plot before the Judiciary Com.
mitte could obtain them,and the i'm.
mediate release of Clay, though the
evidenc against him in this matter is
deemed conclusive, and has been ex.
aminod by the President, is exciting
much comment here. The following
paragraph appeared, iitho Presidents
organ this evening, to show why Da-
Wis and Clay could not be released on
the same grounds as Stephens and
Semmes:
"The completely Of Davis and Clay
with the horrid assassination, is so
clearly demonstrated by e~Videnee,that
they could not, by any means, DO
