RALEIGH, N. c., SATURDAYS
LETTER FROM GENERAL LONGSTREET.


The New Orleans papers bring us the let
ter of General Longstreet, brief allusion
to which has already appeared in our tele-
graphic column. The letter IS addressed to
J. M G. Parker, of New Orleans. In it the
General says:
shall be happy to work in any harness
that promises relief to our distressed people,
and harmony to the nation. 1t matters not
whether bear the mantle of Mr.. Davis or
the mantle Of MIR. Sumner, so that I may
help to bring the glory of peace and good
will toward men,"
The sword has decided in favor of the
North, and what they claimed as principles
cease to be principles and are become law.
The views that we hold cease to be princi-
Piles because they are opposed to law. 1t
is, therefore, our duty to abandon ideas that
are obsolete and conform to the requirements
of law.
The military bill and amendments are
peace offerings. We should accept them as
such, and place ourselves upon them as the
starting point from which to meet future po-
litical issues as they arise.
Like other Southern men, I naturally
sought alliance with the Democratic party,
merely because it was opposed to the Re
publican party. But as far as [ can judge,
CutTe is uolHlIlS IdHSloIc dUouC II, OAS0Pt
the issues that were staked upon the war
and there lost. Finding nothing to take
hold of except prejudice, which cannot be
worked into good for any one, it is proper
and right that 1 should seek some stand
point from which good may be done.
If appreciate the principles of the De-
mocratic party, its prominent features op
pose the enfranchisement of the colored man,
and deny the right to legislate upon the
subject of suffrage, except by the States, in
dividually.
These two features have tendency to ex-
clude Southern men from that party; for
the colored man is already entranchised here
and we cannot seek alliance with party
that would restrict his rights. The exclu-
sive right of the States to legislate upon suf-
frage will make the enfranchisement of the
blacks, whether for better or for worse, a fix
ture amongst US. 1t appears, therefore, that
those who cry loudest against this new order
of things as a public calamity, are those
whose principles would fix it upon us without
a remedy. Hence it becomes us to insist
that suffrage should be extended in all of the
States, and fully tested. The people of the
North should adopt what they have forced
upon us and if it be proved to be mistake
they should remove it by the remedy under
republican principles of uniform laws upon
suffrage.

Militia Troubles in Tennessee.

The State Guards, under Captain Rick
man, have had some trouble in Franklin
| county, and the rebel papers have manufac-
tured a terrible affair out of it. One A. S.
Colyar. an ex-rebcl Congressman, delivered
an lnhammatory speech at rebel meeting,
threatening rebellion and armed resistance
against the State authorities. The affair in
Franklin county is stated by Capt. Hickman
in the following letter:
"NEw HOPE, May 20.
James 2. B,0unzow, Brig. Gen. and A. G. Of
Tennessee
GENERAL I have the honor to report
that my men this morning killed man by
the name of James Brown under the follow
ing circumstances On the 9th inst. one
of my men was passing through Browns
neighborhood, and Brown got in company
with him and wanted him to join in compa-
nv: said that he was bushwhacker, and
that he belonged to Joe Rodgers guerillas.
He also told how many Union soldiers he
had bushwhacked and killed. He wanted
to show the bones of two Federal soldiers
that were close by his house, whom he and
Rodgers had killed. sent Lieut.. Hottie
with squad of men to arrest Brown this
morning, and after they caught him and
were on their way 10 the graves OF the TWO
men that he had killed, Brown broke and
ran, ,whereupon three soldiers fred at him and
killed him.
Respectfully, your ob'dt ser'vt,
VIM. " HICKMAN,
Capt. Com. Company.
The Governor at once ordered Gen. Saml.
Hunt to visit the scenes of the disturbances,
investigate the matter, and report. He did
so and states the killing of Brown to have
man, but that the many rumors and reports
of other outrages were much exaggerated,
and in many cases utterly false.
We learn from the Knoxville Whig that
notwithstanding Capt Rickmans explana-
ton. the Governor has ordered his arrest and
the arrest of all concerned with him, and
they will be turned over to the civil author
it1es to be dealt with according to the law
and evidence.

Letter.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
New ORLEANS, June 4.
To HIS ErceZzency, Andrea0 Johnson, President
Of the United States:
SIR: The incosed order from Gen. Sher-
idan removing me from office, is respectfully
submitted for your consideration, as to the
question of his power to do so.
As to the reasons assigned by him for ia
king this step, viz: that I have impeded
him in the execution of the law of Congress,
I enter respectful but emphatic denial to
the accusation. / am prepared to establish
the truth of this assertion.
1t is evidently a mere pretext on the part
of the General to give the color of cause for
an act which originated i'll personal malice
toward me, because | dared defend myself
from his personal attacks.
Had the general stated that was an impe-
diment in the way to the qualification of his
inordinate ambition to make himself gcater
man he would have come much nearer the
truth than he did.
His abuse of me personally do not conde-
scend to notice. His eminent skill in that
line is well known to this community.
That he should so far degrade the office he
holds as to make his official order the vehicle
of his malice, may surprise you, but not me,
who know his reckless habits.
tits not my purpose, however, in this COM
munication. to make your Excellency party
to the quarrel of Gen. Sheridan and myself.
1t is toreig On to the question at issue, which is,
simply. if Military Commanders, under the
law of Congress, have the light to remove CIV
il officers, under the provisional governments
of the States established thereby; or, in other
words, if they possess any powers beyond
those delegated in said act, and definitely
expressed?
Knowing that this question touching
the general powers of the Military Comman-
ders, under particulars growing out of the
frequent exercise of the removing power by
General Sheridan, is now under considera-
tion by the Attorney General, respectfully
submit the case of my removal in connection
Herewith as another instance of the illegal
exercise of power by Gen. Sheridan.
Believing the Importance of the question
involved will call forth an early decision.
have the honor to be your obedient servant.
