written by James Ross, formerly OF
Chambersburg, at one time Professor OF

Grammar and Ross Greek Grammar.
The Ode, as published in the Inquirer,

the poem. For instance, the caption
read, sin P0HteH1 BedfOrdi8 Salutar-

Legislative,

Under the above caption, among other things, the
Nashville Press and Times says:
Our talented young friend, Col. John B. Brown
low, is in the field, we learn, to represent Knox
county in the Lower House. Here is our right hand,
Colonel. Your election is certainty.
We "tip our beaver" to our friend of the Press
and Times in acknowledgment of the high compli-
ment he has paid US but justice to oursef requires
US to state he has been entirely misinformed.
Several months since we requested DR.. L. G. Ny
matt to become candidate to represent Knox county
We have never thought of opposing him, and could
not be induced to do So The Doctor is sin the field"
and We believe will be unanimously nominated to
represent this county by the Convention to be holden
in this city on the frat Monday in next month, for
the purpose of making nomination for county
Representative.
We shall cordially support Dr. Mynatts nomina-
ton, and in doing, will vote for reliable and
fearless Radical as there is in the county.
By some friends in Sewer and Knox counties, we
have been solicited to become a candidate for joint
Representative of these counties. Out Of this orig
mated, we suppose, the statement copied from the
Press and Times
We are not candidate for any office, and do not
desire TO be. If we were, as the nominee Of the
party, a candidate for Representative from the
foaterial district of Sewer and Knox, we believe
that our election would be certainty" Under
these circumstances, any gentleman, whose radical
loyalty is confded in by the people of these coun
ties would "certanly be elected"

Col. George w. Kirk.

The name which appears above is familiar to all
the people of East Tennessee of all parties. drawer
soldier never enlisted in any cause than COL Kirk
has proven himself to he. 1t would require a vol
ume in which to chronicle the deeds of matchless
herosm performed by himself and those under his
command. Col. Kirk has received from every gen.
era officer under whom he has ever served the high
est testimonials of his efficiency and daring as SOL
der. The Colonel has all the time been thoroughly
Radical In letter which we have just received
from him. he says if the Governor needs bis services
in the militia he can have them at any time The
Colonel uses this language;
off nothing else will do the rebels and copper
heads but fight, say give it to them all sides"
We shall urge Gov. Brownlow to commission
Kirk as Captain of Company. Athens, we think,
would be good place to station him. He would
scrupulousy protect the law-abiding, and A. Biz
zard and party would have nice time wrenching
arms from the hands of Kirk and his old soldiers.
We would like to a battle between the militia
under Col Kirk, and the Conservatives under Lieu
tenant General Edwards and Major General Biz
Zard.

A Knoxville COlOred Man on the Veto.

A few days since we read to an intelligent colored
man of this city, that portion of the Presidents
Veto Message on the Reconstruction Bill, in which
he declares that the colored race have not asked
nor do they desire the elective franchise.
AT this Sambo laughed heartily, and said it was
the "best joke Moses had perpetrated"
Referring to Andy's getting drunk, on Colonel
Forneys whiskey, at the Inauguration, we asked
him If he didn't think Andy had Forney's bottle
by him when he penned that sentence.
He replied, off Mr.. johnson was sincere in writ
ing that be could not have used Forney's whiskev
No amount of such liquor gentleman and pa
triOt like Forney would keep, could make the Pres
demo commit such blunder 1 have no doubt" be
continued, ''that the President was drunk when he
wrote that if, as 1 have said, he was sincere but
the whisky which would cause him to make such
mistake was very mean whisky, and of such quail
ty as mean COpperhead alone would drink"

Eastern tennessee Looking Up.

Composed Of thirty zone counties this d.
vision of our State is an empire of valleys,
mountains, and broad fields, afording a
lovely climate The lands are rich and pro
ductive, while the mountains, rid ges and
valleys are filed with hidden treasures If
this section is but true to itself-encourag-
ing learning, industry and emigration, this
empire will soon be one of the richest and
happiest portions of the lately revolted
South. East Tennessee is richer today than
she erer icas, in that she is Snoscn all over
the continent; and to be known is to be ap-
preciated There are in her mountains,
ridges and valleys, millions of dollars in
iron, copper, zinc and coal al she ,cants
is energy-energy. Her system of railroads
and other internal improvements will sooE
be completed, making this favored country
by nature one of the most desirable por-
tons of the globe.

In other counties the Commissioners of Registra-

from Nashville, before registering colOred men.
Capt. Rogers believed the law meant what it said.
These ten are the first negro votes castin Tennes-

States since the war. Seventytwo votes were polled
at Jaeksboro', of which Col. Henry r. Gibson re-
ceived 81, including the entire negro vote and VIM

The Conservatives also polled their full strength,

is to abolish all distinction account Of color. Now
if this be true, Blizzard lie most ungratefu wretch.
While there is no African blood in his views he is
the blacklist man of the Anglo-Saxon race we have
ever seen. His skin is SO dark as to have been
source of great annoyance and Inconvenience to
him through life. BY persons unacquainted with
him he has always been regarded as of African de-
scent. During the war a captain in the Federsi ar-

ductor the East Tennessee and Georgia Kaiiroau'

Ingratitude among all nations, and IN every age
of the world has been regarded as one OF the great

punished with death. Until the colored man was
made citizen and given the ballot in Tennessee

travelled among strangers. Now, he is only ex-

personally land this number is smalD know him be-
cause of the REIMBURSEMENT of the black man.
The political power now possessed by the colored
race compes the discreet men of all parties to treat
them with respect.
