very desirable neighborhood. 1t has al
ways been a mystery to me why lands in
this county have not theretofore rated higher.
It is now just being discovered that they
possess as many, if not more, advantages
as home for industrious farmers, than any
county in Middle Tennessee: for, besides
producing corn, the grasses and small
grains in abundance, they are perhaps the
best cotton lands in this part Of the State.
Radicalism seems now to have matters
political in its own hands. A military
Captain has charge Of the registration Of
the voters. He proceeds "a militoire,
holding his sacred person intangible; he
has guard on duty at the door Of the Of
fee Of the County Register, where his
majesty is ensconced; a citizen cannot
transact business with that ciDd officer with
out permission to pass one of Brownlow's
guards. Any one passing through our
courthouse is now forci6ly reminded of the
days Of military rule, when Dodge was
here, appropriating furniture and "eutting

SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn, June 29, 1867.
As in many instances in the present
political campaign, the Radicals have
eyinced objections 10 the hearing by those
they control Of Conservative arguments
Permit me TO suggest the following as an
offset to their unfair tactics, which we be-
lieye will prove an effective mode of elec-
tioneering, wili secure to the voters gen

question, anc also will inspire with
more kindly feeling the several races

malirnity. and whose interests demand
mutual iriendliness and harmony. The
plan L. let a bran dance, banquet, or
something of the sort, be given by Con-
servatives in every neighborhoOd in the
State, 10 which let every one be invited
and let Conservative speeches or other
political instructions iorm part of the pro-
ceedings Should this plan be generally
adopted, we believe there will be no doubt
of Conservative success in the coming
election. Very respectfully,
