Rneet Of the tennessee EIsetIon.

The effect of the Tennessee election-ths
canvass which preceded it and the rebel
prescription which followed-is most wide
and profound. It has come to us not only
Dy the newspaper press but by numerous
private letters and kilograms.
A gentleman among the most influential
IN the affairs of New Hampshire, and hold
ing high official position, writes
could not restrain myself from tele-
graphing my congratulations on your sue
cess in Tennessee. The loyal victory is one
of the most important since the close of the
war. 1t means more than the sober second
thought of the loyal men of Tennessee,
whom Andrew Johnson has so basely tried
to destroy, and is so considered by the
country"
A prominent Pennsylvania, who care
iuliy philosophers on current events, speak
ing OF the election, saws:
And no fighting Black men learning
to stand in the sun all day and wait to votel
Even under taunts and ieers witbo,,t atT;l~.
ing or fighting, but patiently, and without
fear or favor, voting for Brownlow & Co.
and Liberty Well, that is most too good
How we looked to see if the telegram said
Insurrection-Fighting in Tennessee T
But no, there came from the leading cities,
Extra Quiet-Unusual OrderP And then,
day after day, to hear the majority rising,
swelling to fifty thousand II From my
heart | congratulate you and the people OF
Tennessee"

Campbell COHntY.--RadIcal Rejoicing
GrNaf Barbecue.

. on Thursday. August 29th, there was asgreat
gathering Of the Radical yeomanry at Fincsstle
The dsv wss All shat could be desired cool, clear
and refreshing. From eight to eleven in the morn
inc. the peoble continued to pour into the Powell
Valley Road from ell quarters, from mountain,
ridge, plain and valley, men, women and children,
in coach, buggy and Wagon, on horseback and on
foot in their Eayes attire and with their happiest
faces A hall was made ABOUT mile from town,
and the procession was put in line by the marshas
of the day A great cOncourse was already in town
from up the valley. The roll of drums and the
lively notes Of tho flies made the morning air vocal
and many beautiful banner streamed in the breeze.
About two thousand persons were present. The
procession matched through the town to neighbOr-
ing grove, where stand for the speaker had been
erected, and atable long as the longest appetite
could desire, spread its tempting viands.
The exercises we're opened by an address from
Mr.. James Large, after which the Hon. Horace
Maynard delivered one of his usual able and efec-
tive speeches rehearsng the past from the rising of
the sun of rebellion to the going down thereof.
Hon. L. G. Houk followed in one of his happiest
efforts, provoking such continual laughter that the
writer's face has hardly yet got into its own proper
shape and his sides ceased from aching. He said
the Conservative ticket in this State was headed by
Davis, Ftheridge and the Devil, and the Devil was
the best man of the three. Col. Henry R. Gibson
closed the exercises by congratulating the people
upon their late glorious triumph, and promising
them good Radical for our next President
The gathering was amazingly large for single
county. There was no disturbance, no qusrreling,
and not rude word heard during the day. more
orderly, thrifty, contented and law-loying crowd
never was seen anywhere in any county. No acct
dent marred the occasion. Tt came and went, q
happy, auspicious, memorable event.

l. The General commanding had hoped that the
citizens of Tennessee would so demean themselves
that the State troops would longer be necessary
for the protection of loyal citizens ard accordingly
had ordered the muster out of the greater portion
of the forces.
But reliable information having reached these
Headquarters that the disloyal citizens outlaws
backed up by the aforesaid disoysl citizens at or
near Franklin, Huntsville, Gallstin, Jackson, and
many other portions of Middle and West Tennes-
see, have been threatening, and in many instances
have used violence, to drive loyal and law abiding
citizens from their homes orbearance in such cases
is no longer virtue, and there will be no more
State troops disbanded; but instead they will be
stationed in the rebelOus localities until the dis
loyal citizens outlaws are dealt with for their
bellious and sedtious conduct and the parties who
have been threatened or driven away are advised to
at once enter suit before civil tribunal for the
wrongs and grievances done them by these rebels,
outlaws or disloyal citizens, and the commanding
officer of Tennessee State Guards at any or all Of
those places will aid and assist with all the forces
under their command if necessary, the civil officers
in arrestng and bringing to trial all such offenders
and will guard prisoners that may be committed to
jail that they may not be turned out or allowed to
escape through the negligence Of jailors.
The Tennessee State Guards will only be kept so
long as disloyal citizens or rebel outlaws make it
necessary for the protection Of all loyal citizens.
1t was the intention of the General commanding
to dispense with the most of the State Guards,
to reduce the expenses of the State, but long
it may be necessary, the troops viii be kept and

General Commanding.

They have in large numbers signed a circular
published to all the world, like one Of the generai

Mr.. Stanton.

The New York Commercial Aduertiser truthfully
and justly says of Mr.. Stanton:
We are not likely to forget or undervalue the
service rendered by Mr.. Stanton to our Govern
ment in 1860. he discovered, in Buchanan's Cabi-
net conspiracy to seize the Archives prevent the
Inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln, and usurp the Gov.
eminent. Thus far, Jake Thompson, Cobb, Slidell
Mason, Benjamin, &c, proceeded, with the co-ope-
ration Of Toucey, when Mr.. Stanton, with Governor
Seward, wisely countermined to prevent that ca
lamity. Judge Holt was loyal. General Dix was
brought into the Cabinet The intended com d etat
was barely prevented. We saw on that occasion,
while Mr.. Lincoln was being swern, Generals Scott
and Wool standing by their guns planted in the vi
cinity of the Capitol, with less than thousand
Regular troops for its defence. Floyd, the seces-
sion Secretary of War, and Toucey, the secession
Secretary of the Navy had the troops and the ships
OF the government sent out on distant SERVICE
We believed then, we firmly believe now, that,
but for Edwin M. Stanton, traitors would have
usarped the Government on the 4th Of March, 1850

of gallant Union army, marched into Knoxville
and gang Of traitors marched out-rather, the
scrambled out--some crossing the river in ferry
boats, some in canoes, some mounted on horses
some on mules and come on foot-back. Some few
remained and made speeches of welcome TO the con
quering General and planted themselves at thu
Provost Office to vouch for the loyalty Of dsloyal
men. Some men, loyal through the war, now say
