Anthracite Coal.

Hitherto the difficulty Of sDelting iron in
South Wales with anthracite have proved
nearly insuperable, owing mainly to two
causes--decyepftation and the consequent
production OF refractory coDglomerations OF

damaged or actually stopped. The late Mr..

LETTER FROM BRISTOL.

How the Farce was Played i'm Upper
East TeDnessee-The Reasons for the
Slim Conservative VOte-The Tax
Eye-OPener for the Negroes, etc
BRISTOL, Tenn, August 3, l8G7.-The
day Of the so called election passed away
without any disturbance of any character
here or in the counties adjoining. The
negroes, early in the morning, collected to-
gether, and, in accordance with previous
instructions from that pink of loyalty,
Gri5ham, Of the Jonesboro Flag marched
in a body to Paperville, a little village
some three miles distant, where they voted
There were seventy negro votes pOlled at
that place. There were only fourteen votes
cast in this place, nine of them for Brown
low, and FIVE for Etheridge. Every negro
Was forced sovyOte Tor Browniow. Some
presented opeH tickets with Etheridge's
name on them, also other Conservative
candidates, but were rejected. The negroes
were arbitrarily furnished with BrOwnlow
tickets. A gentleman who fought through
the war as Federal soldier presented a
Conservative ticket, which was also re-
iected. He then presented his registration
certificate and loyal papers, but to no eff
feet. He, too, was told that he would be
granted the privilege Of voting for a white
man-W. q. Rrownlow
The brainless judges who held the cleo
ton gave no reason for their conduct when
Intercepted by those refused permission to
vote, save that they i" did not receiUc any
such paper at that ballot bor."
Ifthere were any votes cast for Ether
idge they were polled clandestinely.
The conduct and duplicity Of the Radi-
Gals with reference to the negro at the late
election, is fast developing itself. As an
evidence Of this, so soon az the election
was over, the Tax Assessor commenced
operations -looking after the small change
left after paying the expenses of the loyal
league. To-day papers were sent to the
different Magistrates to commence work at
once. The negroes all seem startled, as
they had never been lectured on taxation,
but coRfscutiOn "But murder will out" and
YOU will henceforth see much more of the
cloven foot exhibited in this matter There
are other revelations ELECTED by the late
canvass in this portion of the State, which
we shall furnish Won soon. But more of
this in 4 subsequent letter.
Unfortunately for East Tennessee, not
one-half.Of the Conservative voters voted,
and not more than One-tenth of those who
could have registered did 50. Had every
one registered that could, and then voted
boldly at the election" there would have
been thousands of votes cast where there
are none. But no! They all considered
Brownlow's reelection fixed fact, and
that voting would be auperAuous. 1t IS
more than probable that some did not par
ticipate in the election" from fear Of the
success of Brownlow, and that the conse-
quence Of such participation would be to
endanger their safety personally, and most
especially, pecuniarily. You are aware that
there is much policy now days and but
little patriotism. In fact, the latter has
well nigh played out" OBSERVER.

What grand sight to behold. A squad
OF about fifty men, well armed, awaiting
the arrival of a meek, inofensive minister
of the gospel, who had come to spread
that light before man, which is indis-
pensable for his souls salvation. Slowly
yet steadfastly these two objects approached
nearer and nearer, when finally their
features were plainly discemable, and
sure enough it was the heineOus monster
REV. Mr.. McCallie) and old Uncle Joe
Swan, plain, inoffensive, and Christian far
mer, who resides some one and a half miles
north of Cleveland. Finally Mr.. McCallie
reached the gate leading into the door OF
the church, where he was rudely pushed
back by Nelson, accompanied with an
oath, "you can't preach here" Mr.. Me-
Callie wished to know by what authority
they Nelson and Kelley had to prevent
him from preaching in that church. Their
answer was, that he could not preach treason
there, neither could he concert that into South
ern church. Mr.. McCallie informed them
that such was not his intention, and, says he,
hereby notify you in the presence Ofthese
witnesses, that if you forcibly protest against
my entering the church to preach the Cos
pei, that | will hold you both responsible,
and make you both account for it before
the civil tribunals of our country" He
then explained to them the form of the
government of the Presbyterian Church,
after which they gave back and allowed
him to enter. In the afternoon Nelson and
Kelley were each fined twenty-five dollars
and COSTS before the corporation authori
ties, and up to the time left on the. train
at o'clock, they were trying all the ne
Sroes that could be identified as being with
the party.
Radicalism is getting to be more aud more
oppressive in East Tennessee, every day,
and ere long, unless something is done soon
to relieve the Union Conservative people,
the bayonet must inevitably test It.

New YORK, August 6.-The Tribune's
special SAYS: The rupture between the
President and Secretary Stanton is still the
chief topic ofconversation here Mr. Stan
toms friends, who have been with him to-
day, state that he gave out that he will not
resign, He says if the President wishes
to get rid Of him he will have to do so by vio-
lating the law and removing him; that he
will never yield. On the other hand the
johnson men, who claim to be posted as
to the Presidents opinion, assert that the
President will remove or suspend Stanton
if he refuses to resign.
The contemplated removal of Sheridan
is lost sight of since it has become known
that Mr.. johnson has stated that Secretary
Stanton must go first, and the interest is
centered in a climax to the Johnson Stan
ton quarrel.
Stanton has been run down with visitors
