Northern Radicals In Tennessee.

Some idea may be formed of the WAYS
and means to be employed during the APP
preaching campaign, from the following arti-
Gle, which we find in the Cleaveland (Ohio)
Herald of the 9th inst:
The magnitude of the work which should
be done in Tennessee at the next August
election demands unceasing effort and unre-
mitted vigilance. Approaching this fact, the
Republican Central Committee Of Tennessee
has commissioned Judge VIM. Mills, of Nash
vile, to visit the loyal States for the purpose
of directing attention TO Tennessee as the
great battle ground of reconstruction. The
Union men now hold that State but in Au-
gust the attempt will be made by rebels to
recover possession of power, and unless the
Union men of the North do their duty the
traitors will succeed.
Three things have been accomplished in
Tennessee-to wit; The Acknowledgement Of
the negro, the establishment of common
schools, and the Organization of militia num-
boring eight thousand The tools for reor-
ganization are thus provided but they must
be properly used, else they will be worse
than useless.
The negro must be taught how TO VOTE
Schools cannot do that between this and
August. But missionaries must 90 TO work
white and colored, and the ground must be
thoroughly cultivated. There are now forty
thousand negro voters in Tennessee. Oh
course they are ignorant but they are loyal
and wish to vote right. They will listen to
their Union friends-if such 60 on the
ground; but II the negroes are left TO rebel
trickery and cunning, they can be made to
undo all that the blood and treasure OF the
loyal States have done for them and for the
country in this bloody war.
The Federal Government has given arms
to the Tennessee militia thus Union teach
ers and stumpers can be protected, and the
black and white Union men can assemble in
safety and listen TO Union teaching.
II seems unnecessary 10 add a word beyond
stating the above facts, for any man can see
that Tennessee, il left TO rebel influences in
this political campaign will he delivered over
TO traitors, the few Union men will be driv-
en- from the State, aud the freedmen deliver
ed over to their old masters, who, as of old,
will use the blacks for their own selfish pur.
poses.
On Monday evening Judge Mills purposes
TO meet those friendly to the loyal recon.
stuction Of Tennessee, when he will give
his views upon the situation" and fur
nish any iaiormS''on e~r loyal citizens, who

THE Supreme Court has decided
against the filing of the Mississippi
petition for an injunction to stay the
proceedings under the military bill,
on the ground that it made the Pres
ident party. We are not compe.
tent to pass upon the equity of the
decision, but feel relieved by the
fact that it is not final, and that
Judge Sharkey has been permitted
to amend arl renew his application
In the meantime the petition of the
State of Georgia, which omitted the
name of the President, was admitted
to file, and we expect soon, a decision
upon the merits of the case.

Tue Importance Of every man S
voting in contest against Radicals,
is forcibly illustrated by the result
in Connecticut. One democratic can
didate for the Senate was defeated by
four votes, and this gives the Radi-
Gals one majority in that body, and
twelve more votes would have given
the democrats a majority in both
Houses. We hear, occasionally, of
men in this section, who are disposed
not to vote at all, because they are
Disguised with the situation [; but we
hope they will think and act differ
emily when they reflect upon the val
ne of every vote, and that it is by
votes alone, that the situation can be
peaceably changed for the better
Remember Connecticut, and every
man to the polls

AT the head Of our columns, this

AT the head Of our columns, this
week, we place the name of Emerson
Etheridge, as the Conservative can
didate for Governor. He about fills
the bill we drew up last week, and we
have no misgivings as to his will and
ability to meet the demands of the
situation. AS a consistent Union
man, he can not be assailed as an ex-
rebel, and thus is spiked the biggest
Radical gun. Invulnerable on this
vital point, let us trust his ability to
defend every other, and indulge the
hope that he will get to work imme-
diately, and that every Conservative
will go to work for him. The strug-
gle, Just now, is not so much for the
restoration of all our constitutional
rights, as for the poor privilege of
being raised up to level with the
negro. A people. degraded, as we
are, by brute force, deserve that de-
graduation if they fail to make every
Legitimate effort to throw off the ty-
rants letters. This is the work the
people are now called upon to do, and
it is time they were awaking from
their apathy and stripping for the
fight. The work is not for those only,
who can vote. All are equally in
torested in the result, and the result
must be progressive liberty, or a
more grinding tyranny. Under such
circumstances, no man ought to GO
to bed at night, without conscious
ness Of having done something, du.
ring the day, for the advancement Of
the righteous cause. Let us work,
not as men confident of success be-
cause the cause is just, but as men
who appreciate the odds against us,
and the fact, that justice, lukewarm-
ly supported, is not always match
for injustice vigorously sustained.

In another place, may be found a
letter in defense Of the good name of
Capt. Wirz, who fell a victim to NAL
ice and perjury. II is an able, hon
est and, no doubt, truthful document
destined to become a part of the
history of that reign of terror which
will make Stanton and Holt as des.
picable as Danton and Robcspierre
The murder of poor Wira is not,
however, the only tragedy yet to be
revealed, aud it is the dread of a
thorough exposure of their crimes
which makes the Radical leaders pre-.
fer universal anarchy and ruin to the
restoration of the Union and Consti
tation, under which a searching en-
quiry may DO made into their career

BRowNLow has declared the regis
tration in six counties, null and void.
Such high handed tyranny is very
trying to the patience of gallant peo-
pie. We do not know what The vo-
ters of those counties will, or can do

they will nominate candidates and

are good many conservative Union

Brownlows conduct resolves itself
into calculating and un mitigated
meanness.

FOR GOVERNOR,
EMERSON ETHERIDGE,
OF WEAKLY COUNTY.
FnoM document which we pull

FaoM document which we pub
lish to-day, it will be seen that Rad
ical tyranny and extortion are com
ing nearer and nearer to the domestic
pursuits Of the South. A decree has
gone forth for the suspension or stop
page of southern distilleries--not
because they do not make good
article, but because the machinery is
a little different from that used at
the North, and because, as is charged,
the southern machinery cheats the
revenue. They must suspend opera
tions, Therefore, until they procure
described fixtures which are to be
bought, perhaps, of Radical mechan.
les at the North, and during the sus-
pension, Radical distillers can have
a chance to profit by the forced de.
mand. This is, probably, the main
object Of the order. If there be any
kind of machinery that will make
distillers honest, it is not used in the
North, where liquor frauds are hour
ly occurrences. But the movement
we suspect, is part of the policy tc
harrass and Cypress the South, ant
We shall not be surprised at an order
to close all southern manufactures
and that followed by the re-enactmen'
Of the Blue Laws, and their rigic
enforcement in the South.

DON'T forget the meeting here, on
Saturday, the 9th, to ratify the do
ings of the Convention of the 10th.
We forget whether the call for the
meeting embraced the proposition to
nominate candidate for the lower
branch Of The Legislature; but the
time is suitable, and the duty ought
to be performed on that occasion.
We hope, therefore, the assemblage
will come together prepared to place
standard bearer in the field, who
will CALAMITY stand by his colors to
the close of the struggle.

The proceedings of the Conven-
ton reached us too late for insertion,
and our readers must be content with
the platform which is broad enough
and sound enough to meet the views
of every true patriot. Nearly five
hundred delegates were in attendance
upon the Convention, and harmony,
zeal and sound sense distinguished
its proceedings, in an eminent degree.
May the same spirit be infused into
the people, together with the con-
yiction that success is the reward of
we'll directed effort and rarely attends
the inactivity of over confidence and
culpable indifference.

falling into the stream. II would have been
exceedingly difficult, If not altogether i'm
practicable, TO have repaired this pier. A
mile and half west Of this point there was
side wash Of one hundred and fifty feet In
the bank, the track falling into the bed Of the

On Tennessee Ridge, there were formida-
BILE distractions on the road bed. In the
two principal cuts, a large quantity Of mate

and disintegration, varying in depth from q
few inche, mp to ten feet These cuts were
taken out originally, to a slope of half a
foot horizontal to one vertical and TO a
depth, at centre, of about fifty feet The
material is a stiff red clay, in which is EN-
bedded masses Of gravel, boulders, angular
stones, seems Of pipe clay, indurated earth,
and here and there small beds of iron ore !
rendering it exceedingly difficult to remove.
West of the main cut, aud Just at its mouth,
large quantity of water lad damned up,
which could not be drained, and which
would unavoidably, retard the work at that
end aud the drainage also from the sides
being checked by the irregular deposits in

road bed, rendering the material, for the
depth Of several feet no better than pud-

West Of Lewis Branch, there .were two
breaks in the banks. One thirty feet long

long by twenty-five feet deep, at deepest part
besides several other washes varying In
length and depth. From these washes to

throat, took the razor from him and sent
for the marshal, who took him to Jail. He
had inflicted slight wound, and the claret
ran freely not enough, however, to do
him any good WaukeshG Plasnde0ler.
