Patton and The Rebel Press.

Patton, the Disorganizer, has furnished the
disloyal press with an argument against the
further continuance Of the Radical party in
power. The Union and Dtspateh ut Nashville,
Isham G, Harris's official organ until he fled
from the capitol, sounds the frSt note,
and the whole copperhead press of the State
gives a hearty responsive echo. Patton m
his circular endeayors TO justify his votes
against the Military and School bills upon
tue ground that they will increase taxation
tn almost an uncomfortable extent. Patton
claims TO be an unconditional Radical, and IL
be is, we certainly eNnnot see the consistency
in furnishing weapons Of warfare to the con.
servatives. We think that It should be man
ifest to all, that as q people we stand In
greater need Of education thaa any other
element Of popular strength and greatness.
Il is equallyevident that theAilitary bill is I'M
avOidably necessary to the protection Of 10y
al men and to prevent impeni'ent, reckless
and blood. thirsty rebels from inaugurating
another reign Of terror and anarchy. We
have had enough of rebel rule, and money
should be no consideration when our govern
ment ia likely to be assailed and our interests
jcOpardiEsd.
The man who does not understand that this
State is to remain under the control and
management of is JniendI al any coat or Iaeri-
ice, Is certainly too far behind the times to
make a safe and successful legislator. The
Radicals will rule this State "peaeeably if
they can, forcibly il they must" They do
not propose to whelm the people in blood
and roll the engines Of death and desolation
over the State, but they inteLd 10 stand fast
BY the laws and to make all others 10 the
same, and if disastrous consequences follow,
the blame will not attach to them.
It may be said that there is no necessity
for a military organization, but we refer all
OF this opinion to the communication in
another column from B~louBtville. The case
1t recitss is not an isolated one, butlA repeti.
ton Of thousands that have occurred ia rebel
localities throughout the State since the close
OF the war. The AegiS that will protect our
homes and save US from further spoilation is
the bayonet. Stimulated and encouraged
by the malignitics at Washington, a large
number Of rebels and their sympathiEing
friends stand ready to resist the Franchise
take possession Of the Capitol and cut
The GordlSn Knot Of legislation which rem
lers them powerless to accomplish their
cursed designs. We cannot support a mas
for Office, and We think the sentiments Of
the loyal people Of the county is OF the same
nature, who voted against this necessary
for the public safety.

A LaWleSS Mob,

Several weeks ago a convention Was held
in this place, foe the purpose OF preventing
the churches Of JonesbOrO' from passing in
to the hands Of the rebels. The South
ern MethodistS had commenced an action to
regain tho property then and now occupied
BY The NJ. B.. organization, and to keep 1t in
their hands was tho object Of that meeting.
II was composed Of the most intelligent, law
abiding and loyal men that the country az
fords. Il was not a movement Of any par
ticular church, but men OF all denominations
who had the cause Of religion and the best
interests Of the community at heart, pariici.
pated in its deliberations.
No sooner Tad the result Of their united
~Ounsels become known, than a low, con-
temPtible whining pack Of filthy rebels, who
claim peculiar distinction among a certain
class Of %Jaaet aristocrats who in former days
had some claim upon decent society, but are
nov only a blight, curse and stigma to the
community in which they circulate, begaa
to utter their foul and malignant aspersions
against this assemblags Of good and well
minded men. AGer having espoused the
eauss Of treason, laWlessnsss aud anarchy,
aud allied themselves with a gigantic mob to
overthrow the laws and make our country a
very PandemOuium, they have the brazen

This ertNguished individual WAS nominated
by the Copperhead State Convention as tue
StandSrd-bearer of th.t party in the coming
campaign. This is just as we expected. They
have a man whose Antecedeuts accord most
harmoniOusly with the present status of bis
party. During the war this same (Alderig)
EtheridSe wrote several long communications
published in Rebel and Copperhead papers
against President Lincoln, abusing him in
the lowest and most Tituperou5 manner, and
rshersing all the vile slang and billingsgate
that the rebels uttered against that great and
good man, lie was afterwards arrested By
order Of Andrew Johnson whilst Military
Governor Of Tennessee, for his Infamous dis
loyalty and melting rebsllion,-was taken
to Kentaeky and tried by Court Martial, and
would hare been shot or hung but for the
interference Of his friends who we're inhu-

Glorious Rhode Island

That glorious old Radical, Gen. Burnside,
is triumphant again. The Brooklyn Union
Of the Sd inst. says:
The State election in Rhode Island ysster-
day resulted in the regular Republican VIC
tory, so clear and decided as to make the
calculation of gains and losses a work Of SUI
p%ererOgation. It is not quite as onO.sided MS
it was last year, when Gov. Burnside had ne
opposition, for the Democrats this time made
the best fight they could, which was a feeble
one. General Burnside has about 4,i94 ma
jority in a vote Of l0,55O, carrying q larger
majority than his opponent received votes.
Nj. Jenckes is reelected to Congress over
only a mere show opposition, and Mr.. Dixon

Of the religion Of Jesus Christ than the wild
Bedouin who roams the sacred hills Of Pales-
tine, have Withdrawn their subscription, hop
ing By this narrOw-mindsd means to drive
from our midst the brave and faithful min
listers, who have labOred earnestly to this
people in word and doctrine, and but for
whom these very church d~lsOrganizerS,
would to-day be exiled amid the burning and
Seathing maledictions Of an outraged aud
grieEstricken people. But this will not
sutice to accomplish their helIish designs.
Nay their unrcgenerate hearts, although
stepped in the lowest ~malignities Of human
passion can eOncOct no scheme to silence and
starvs out a loyal ministry, for they may re-
member well that God who feeds the hum
CRY raven, and gives the thirsty worm ita
dew-drOp in the Wondering spaces Of decay
can and will protect and supply his faithful
and devoted ministers in VIII ateyer region OF
the globe they may be found.
We think that it has been demonstrated
over and over agAiE to the full satisfaction
Of the most Obtu5e, that the Cnionism Of
this community is of such a radical chaEac-
ter, that it will not look with the least degree
Of allowance upon ~disloyalty whether it be
exhibited in church or State. The time has
come when the spirit of rebellion and dis
cord must be %extirpated from all bodies civil
and religious, and most especially from the
latter. Before the vile rsrsrsRd leaders Of this
Goddess hypocritieal clique Of church pollu-
tiers shall preach in our churches, we say let
them stand in solemn silence; as the monn-
menIs Of their unmitiga'ed dePravity and
desolating power let the mildew OF decay,
blacken their sacred walls, let the mournfnl
notes Of the midnight owl alone reyerberat-
ing through their desola:e galleries chant the
Of the murdered cause Of God. No
more let the tuneful peals o. their bells rsll
out on the rosy air Of the morning, nor break
the soft aweet stiffness of the twilight hour.
