A Warning from Tennessee,

The Louisville Courier informs US that large
numbers of the best citizens of Tennessee are
leaving their homes in that State and seeking
an asylum in Kentucky to escape the horrors of
the iron rule of Brownlow and his party.
''The reelection of this miscreapt, who is a
traitor both to the instincts of humanity and
the teachings of the Church, whose livery he
has degraded, will cause, it is said, general
exodus of all respectable people from Tennes-
see, to escape the evils of the corrupt and profit
gate men who gather around Brownlow as his
friends and advisers The humane utterances
of one of our Norfolk Radicals the other night,
who believes only in the justice Of military com,
missions, and is in favor Of the liberal use OF
hemp, should warn us that the fate OF Iennes-
see will be ours if we allow our destinies to pass
out of our own hands, IF you would prevent
this calamity come forward like men and REG

whites exceeded the colored, but in the second
district, the colored so greatly exceeded the
whites, that in the aggregate of those registered
in both districts the colored exceeded the whites
considerably. This shows sufficiently how well
the colored have been drilled, and should arouse
every white man to proper sense Of the impor-

The Eranainer believes that the respectable
white man who now fails to vote, will live to
have his conduct execratcd by his wife and chill
dren. He will be pointed at and held up to
scorn as sluggard, who deserted his section,
his family and his race, when he might have
saved them form disfranchisement and the most
hateful from of helotry. The soldier who fright
ened by the grim vision Of sudden death, flies

victims of that cowardice it is sometimes constitus

against his race and family, which every white

REGISTER to the Gerry last man Z Let every
his neighbors do the same Do not trust to
chance to carry them the information that the
registering officers are atwork. Multitudes donot
take the papers, and must consequently be
prompted by those who do.
Let no man decline to REGISTER because
he may, perchance, not get have made up his
dered The act of registering will not require
him to vote; but it will secure him the option
of voting or not as may seem expedient in the
future To refuse to register is to gag himself
hereafter, whether he may then wish to vote or
not. No man is wise enough in these times to
know positively what it may be best to do
months ahead. Hence it would be very foolish

sing to register now-Rich. Enquirer
