S. A. Bowel ESQ., hi. Flag:
We arrived at this place three dayJ ago
from T~ullahoma, after having marched Sl
| night, to take advantage of the burning rays
Of the sun, which, in this climate, and ut this
season, is almost beyond endurance, We
were told at Tullahoms and elsewhere that
we would he 10 great dagger to 90 TO FayetTe-
vile with a small force ;hAl tho rebels
were three thousand strong, aud yell drMsd"-
Even the gallant and brave Col. Kirk told US
he would not wish to be sent here with a
hundred men, and that we run = great risk to
come with but fifty. But | had my or1ers
from Gen. Cooper, N psrsoH, and ever since !
have been connected WITH militia matters, /
have endenvored to " obey the officers ap-
pointed over me7--let their orders be what
they were-belieying that they knew thsir
business much better than myself. The
march was through somewhat Of a rolling
country-which, unlike our East Tennessee
hills, are rich to the very summit. The
crop5-wcll, they are simply mqrUciow-for
miles your eyes cannot rest upon scarcely
anything save black seas of corn and cotton -
admitted by oil to b. the finest prospect for
an abundant harvest ever known before in
this country.
We were met by citizens Of all parties, 10
the mos. friendly and respectful manner. /
became acquainted with few Masonic friends
in TullahOms who bad preceded US with "a
good report" The white Radical UnionistI
in this place may be counted upon your fn-
gers, 50 few are they. yet they are as firm as
the Rock Of Ages. The cloud OF colored
" eniranchised fellow-citizens" hangs heavy
around us, however, and you need not be
surprised when ! tell you, although there was
a vote in 1861 Of 1861 for Secession, and
none against the Radicals, by the aid of the
colored vote, will carry the County by 500
majority, in the coming election.
We have met and become acquainted with
a great many Of the prominent citizens Of the
County-among whom are Hon. Geo. W.
Jones, Gen. Robert Farquharson, Hon. Br.
Carrigau, Editor Lincoln County Nsrs, Mr..
kirkpatrick, Capt. Reynolds, Col. Eicks,
Judge Casey, Capt. Newman, Mr. McLAugh-

whom have treated US exceedingly courteous
and respectful IN fact tbis country differs
materially from other rebel counties. I have
visited communities where a man clothed in
the livery Of Union Soldier would be sheer

" JuIosburg, on the Union Pacific
railroad, is u good specimen OF h fast
Western town. The Omaha Herald
says it has one hundred and twenty
whisky shops for a population of about
three thousand. AT u recent meeting
of the citizens it was agreed to form q
civil government, and to adopt the
charter, laws, and ordinances of
Omaha. They have elected a Mayor
and City Council. The Mayor was
only a five days resident of tho place,
and none of the Council had been
there over ton days. Rents are IN.
ormously high. One mar pays 500

other rents q building, part shed and

The IndlanS-The SaVagGS Still at

A despatch from Omaha says the
United States railroad commission
ers arrived there en- route west to eX-
anime another section of the Union
Pacific railroad, extending forty miles
west of JuleSburg,
Two telegraph stations west of
Fort Laramie have been burned
by Indians within a few days. 1t is
said the Indians are having every
thing their own way on that route.
A Fort HarkOr despatch says great
Indignation exists among the people
here in consequence ofthe indifference
of the military authorities, and their
manner of s%uppressing Indian raids
1t is reported there are many whites
and half breeds among tho Indians
exciting them to committing all kinds
Of outrages, especially plumber, out
OF which they hope to get rich.
A Leavonworth despatch says Col.

just arrived there, four days from the
Indians camps of tho Kiowas, Ca.

kansas tribes, and reports them peace.
able and quite, and anxious, so far
as possible, to remain so.
The Black Kettle band of Chev-
ennes are divided, some for peace and
some for war, but the war party is
small and will be held in check.
Colonel Leavenworth has been on
the border over two months obtaining
correct information of the views of
tho wild Indians, He met in council,
four days ago, the following chiefs:
Black Kettle, head chief of tho Chey.
enes; Bear Head, chief of the Ca.
manches; Poor Bear, chief of the
Apaches; Sleeping Bear, chief Of the
Kiowasj Drinking Eagle, head chief
of the Nacomi band of Cheyennes ;
Silver Branch, head chief of Peneta
ksr band Of the Camanches, and
many other chiefs and braves of Diff.
ferent bands, and all expressed great
wishes for peace with the whites.
Those engaged in the present war are
Cheyennes and Sioux, whose lodges
General Hancock burned last April.
and those other Cbeyenres and Sioux
whom General Augur reports as
friendly say that tho report that the
Kiowas took the stock at Fort Dodge
in June is false. The Cbeyennes them
selves admit to have taken them.
Both George and Charlie Bent were
present at tho council.
Colonel Leavenworth thinks he can
influence q council of tribes at some
point agreed upon, but it cannot.b DE

dians do not trust them.

.Cons!dcratIons OfpuDIlc Inlerest.'

On the 9th OF this month the immortal
Andy addressed a brief note to Hon. Edwin
NJ. Stanton, informing him that considera-
lions Of public interest demanded his resig-
nation as Secretary o. War. Stanton re-
Piled to the Yctoer that " Considerations Of
public interest would not permit him 10 re-
sign before the assembling Of the next Con-
gress." Stanton's contumacy Is beyond com.
pare.
Since the above was in type, we learn
through our Washington exchanges that
Johnson has suspended Stanton aud empeW-
cred Gen, Grant to act as Secretary Of War
al interim. Stanton submi,s to this outrage
and insult TO the ration under protest. as
saming the ground that tue President, "uu-
der the Constitution and tue laws Of the
country" has no right to suspend him. Cen.
Grant has entered upon the duties Of hiS APP
pointment.

II is amusing to read the explanations Of
tho Conservative press in regard to their late
defeat. Up to the day Of the election they
were sanguine and boastful, and continually
dinned into our ears the assurance that Ethe-
ridge would sweep the State like an ava
lanche. Now as the resslt is just the other
way, they are under the necessity Of explain
ing why their glowing prophecies were not
fulfilled. They all agree that u large number
Of their party did not vote. We agree to
this also. A large proportion of you are dis

lightful electioneering w~hecl-horses. No
country on the face Of Gods earth is in more
quiet, and orderly, more Obedient to law and
iAithful to their pledges than the people Of
Lincoln County, are and have been since the
close Of the war, and the most fruitful imagi.
native powers Of the worst distempered brain,
is unable TO ind any cause for this act of the
Tycoon's save the grand one Of carrying the
present election. We would urge upon our
people the great necessity amid these trou-
bles, Of stunning the appearance Of evil
Treat this squad with no unnecessary disre-
RpSct, for the sake Of peace. Let us show
them BY our actions that those who say we
are yet rebels, are liars, scoundrels, and
hunks OF meanness too insignificant for them
to notice. We trust that they will not at-
tempt to interfere with us on the day Of the
election, II they do, we shall not be respon-
sible for what follows.
The Nashville Banner thinks we will escape
the fate Of other places, because OF the hoe.
or Of The Captain Of this squad. We hope
to realize fully the AntiCipations Of the Ban

Of the Jouesboro' Flag, aud if so, we know
he knows all about the Vexatiuns of an

an editor calls a man a thief or a cow
