Rebel outrage and Fight al ROgersviIIe.

We have the facts of the late difficulty at Rogers
VILE, from gentleman who was present and wit
messed the whole As usnal Etheridge refused TO
divide time, and Maynard took Che crowd by two
TO one. This exasperated the sO-called Conservs-
tive party. Etheridge got done speaking about
one-haf hour before Maynard, which gave the re-
bels time to prepare for murderous assault. After
Maynard had closed speaking, procession was
formed and returned to town. After the process
sion got into town. the colored in the rear, all
cheering for the Radical candidates they COM
menced firing upon them from houses and Out OF
their cellars, killing colored man and wounding
two others. The Radicals then returned the hre'
and killed one Conservative, jesse York. and wound
ed another, Dave Ray. This was evidently pre-
meditated assault, the rebels having come IN from
the surrounding country armed and prepared Tor an
assault The attack was most outrageous one,
women and children being exposed to the hre'
standing as they were out on the street to witness
the procession. This is Conservatism, of the same
school of the armed mobs that marched through
here in 81, firing upon Gags and innocent families.
On this occasion they fred upon the "Stars and
Stripes and shot one of our banners through. AS
this is the game they intend to play on the day oil

'HOW q Brutal Negro PrOVOkeS a Quar-
rel with q White Man."

Under the above caption, we very often
see in the rebel papers the most villainous
falsehoods in reference to fight between a
peaceable negro and white rufian.
We will give the details of rencontro
between a negro and a white man, which
occurred few weeks since, two miles from
this city, on The farm of a Conservative
friend, who was formerly member of the
legislature.
Our neghbor had a white man working
in field with a negro. The white gentle
man stopped the negro, who was quietly la
boring, to tell him that he chad a certificate
and would vote for Etheridge." The ne
gro mildly replied, " You have right to
vote as you please and, anxious to avoid
any conversation on the subject, ceased
talking and resumed his labor Again the
white Conservative interrupted him, and
told>him he was opposed to Brownlow
and his God id niger equality party"
The negro replied, q don't know nothin
bout politics, and, you please, I'd rudder
not talk bout it, and resumed his labor
Again the white man interrupted him, and
inquired if he (the negro) had a certificate
10 vote2 Sambo answered in the afirma-
tive, but gentlemanly and briefly "Well, "
said the conciliatory. white man, Il want
to know who you will vote for for Cover
nor The negro mildly answered, q" | will
vote for Mr.. Brownlow," and turned to re-
sumo his work The peaceable white man
at once advanced upon him in a menacing
attitude, and told him that anybody who
voted for Brownlow was a God id ras-
cal The brutal C0 negro replied that
~anybody who voted for Etheridge was a
God id rascal. Upon this the unofend-
ing Conservative dealt hiIs blow between
the eyes. The brutal negro replied by
knocking down his antagonist and thrash
ing him soundy, and until he was anxious
for peace
The Conservative papers in East Ten
nessoe are weekly publishing statements
showing chow brutal negro provokes O. a
quarrel with white man As we have
not published such statements as our neigh
borsi (being unable to hear, like them, of
instances where the negro has prorOked a
hght,) We feel we must give the facts in this
case, which we have done literally, as we
can prove they occurred.
We began to be apprehensive that our
subscribers would suspect we were with
holding from them the lawless, unpremedi-
lated violence Of the negroes upon the
whites and we have been particular to give
the facts in this case. 50 rs 70 ror,o,,o s,,al,

To the Polls +! To the Polls!

Tomorrow is a day Of momentous decls
ion. 1t will determine whether Tennessee
shall again pass under rebel rule, or wheth
er it shall remain in loyal hands and II
sympathy with the great loyal heart OF The
nation Every true man is expected TO &c
his duty. The battle of lS6l-l865 is stu
upon us. with this difference only, that to-
morrow it will be fought with ballots in
stead of bullets. Let none falter. Let none
be Indifferent. Let none be absent from
the polls Especially should none be de
tered from fear of violence or collision. A
large extra police force has been detailed to
assist in keeping order. One hundred
State Guards, under sober, experienced and
able officers, will protect citizens in their
rights and persons. If all true men, loyal
to their State and National Government,
are at their posts and active and earnest in
their duty, tomorrow viii witness such a
triumph of right, and loyalty, and liberty,
and law over wrong, and treason, and vii
lainy, and anarchy, as was never witnessed
in Tennessee. Rebellion in the State will
be earthed beyond reasonable hope of re
surrection.

Murder at GOodlettsEIIIe.

Saturday week there was a Radical meet
ting and barbecue at Goodlettsville. The
barbecue was on the premises of Mr.. VIM.
Scruggs, an active Radical and Brownlow
man, who was very efficient during the day.
His unfinching devotion to the cause, to-
gether with his kindness to the freedmen,
made him unpopular amongst his Conser-
vative neighbors but he was not thereby
influenced in the least degree in the asser-
ton of his rights. Late Saturday afternoon,
he had occasion to order a young man
named Womack out of his saloon Womack
refused to comply with the order, and ex-
hibited pistol as a menace. Another
young man, named Pike, siding with W.,
made motion to show that he was armed
also Thus badgered in his own house,
Scruggs retired to arm himself, and when
he returned the young men had left. After
night Scruggs and others noticed couple
of men passing up and down the road armed
with guns, and Scruggs felt sure that they
intended to attack and kill him. He, there
fore, kept his gun in his hand. About half
past o. clock, Reese w. Porter and Squire
Parham, friends of Scruggs, were walking
on the road in the direction Of Scrugg's
store, when he aimed his gun at them
Porter spoke, and his voice being recog-
nized, Scruggs did not fire, but went out and
hoI I,
life and property was menaced, and he had
mistaken them for the armed men who were
prowling about the road. They advised
him to close his store and go home to his
private residence. This he declined to do,
expressing the belief that if he did so his
store and its contents would be burned He
preferred to remain and defend his property
and life. Porter then advised him to close
his store, put out the lights, and remain
there for the night. This he agreed to do,
and,walked off towards the store. Messrs
Porter and Parham started off in another
direction. Before they had taken more
than FIVE or six steps, they heard two re-
ports of a gun fired in quick succession,
turned and saw Scruggs fall. He was shot
in the back, two of the shots or slugs pass
ing through his body. He died instantly
The gun was fired from under shed on the
opposite side of the road, and whoever fred
it must have heard all the conversation
which had taken place between Scruggs,
Porter and P;irham. Some fifteen or TWEEN
ty negroes were sitting near the store, just
out of the, range of the shot, and saw the
blaze, but could not see the person who
fired the gun. Womack and Pike answered
the description Of the men seen on the road
with guns, and were arrested but they
proved an abb, and were discharged No
other persons are suspected. 1t is to be
hoped that the matter will not be permitted
to drop here.
The statement of facts we have given
above were narrated to us by an ex-rebel
soldier, who saw the atrocious murder com
mitted

Webster. Sizemore was Captain in the Federal
army, but has had no more connection with
"Brownlow's militia" than the Emperor of France.
He has never been connected with the Tennessee
militia in any shape manner or form. This Con-
servative-rebel paper knew be had not, and lied
knowingly and maliciously.
The Conservative papers of to-day are as unscru-
puous liars as were the rebel papers during the war;
which swore that the Yankees were whipped in
every fight. Capt. Sizemore is better man than
the Conservatives who abuse him, (even though

LATER.
A Most DiSgraceful Scene.
RADICAL INTOLERANCE ILLUSTRATED.

After Gen. Blair, last night, had well nigh finished
bis great speech, which was listened to with the
most profound attention and when he had about
driven the last nail into the Radical coffin the crowd
was suddenly disturbed by four discharges of pis-
tol in the center portion Of the crowd which had
the effect for time of scattering the assembly and
suspending the remarks of the speaker, who, like
he stood on many battlefield in the face of rebel
legons, maintained his position upon the stand in
defiance of Radical efforts to break the force of his
irresistible appeals to the people, The whole thing
was manifesty dastardy attempt to prevent Oh e
people from hearing the truth Some of the actors
in this disgraceful scene are already known More
of this anon.
The foregoing article is taken from the Free
Press edited by John NJ. Fleming, and is put forth
one week in advance of the election for Effect know
ing that the fasehOod could not be corrected to any
very great extent. The statement is wicked and
corrupt falsehoo1 and the writer keg it 10 be false
when he wrote il out, or be knew nothing of the
facts in the A young man on the out
skirts of the crowd walked up to a colored
Radical and shot him in the face for the crime of
cheering for Brownlow and Maynard, and so
avowed before pulling trigger The young man
was brought before Justice upon a warrant the
next day, and bound over 10 the Court where he

tire intolerance. The colored men are invited out
10 hear the Rebel Conservative orators and if thew

to be shot down like dogs, as recently at Franklin

If the Conservative party in Knoxville wish

KnOxyIIIe Traitors.

In this city there are few corrupt trai-
tors and hypocrites, who falsely pretended
during a part of the rebellion to be loyal
and who have been privately giving out du-
ring the past few days what they would not
dare assert publicly, In reference to the
interruption of John Williams at Tazewell,
by few militia men, these villains say that
they have no doubt Brownlow will be glad
10 hear that Williams was interrupted in
his effort to speak, and that it was for such
work as this that he recruited the militia.
Men who thus speak know they he, and
show that they are unworthy of credit IN
denouncing an opponent when they utter
Gas they do) the atrocious calumny that the
Radicals are responsible for the Rogerville
riot and the attempt to produce a riot in
this place. These liars know that rebels
and copperhcads had been arming them
selves and preparing week in advance for
the Rogerville slaughter. They kaO1C that
Conservative assassins were taken to ROg
erville from several adjoining counties to
aid in slaughtering the Union men and
they further know that the first shot was
fired by an ex-rebel soldier, succeeded, al
most simultaneously, by shots from dozen.
In this town of Rogersville there was not
one of Brownlow's militia until since
the riot, and were not they and the Union
men of the county in the majority devoid
of the brutal, blood-thirsty instincts of a
large element of their party, there would
have been some act to avenge the horrid
Conservative butchery of Rogersville.-
Very properly the Union men of Hawkins
have done nothing of the sort. The names
of all, or nearly all of the Hawkins county
assassins, as well as several in this town
who fired the other night, are known, and
they will be vigorously prosecuted in the
courts Gov Brownlow has not failed to
have any malitiaman punished and to cor
rect any irregularities On the part of the
State Guards when they have offended, and
he will not fail in Williams case.
According to the statement of the rebels,
the extent of the outrage on Williams was
in preventing his concluding his speech
after Etheridge had uninterruptedly spoken
as long as he desired If this statement is
correct a great outrage was perpetrated,
but these men who denounce the Governor
in connection with it, applaud and glory in
the premeditated, atrocious hatchery Of
Union men at Rogersville. That the Gov
ernor would rejoice to see John Williams
prevented making speech is not only an
but it isn't even plausible lie.
He regards John Williams as beaten by at
least eight thousand majority, and believes
that every speech he makes is positive
advantage to the Radical ticket.
