The Union and Dispatch says " AS
Brownlow has accomplished his purpose
with his 'melish,' we suppose he will
now disbRnd them and send them rej0ic-
ing to their homesU Not so. Such
trash as compose BrownlOw's state
guard " can in no other position earn
their grub, to say nothing of SIC each
per month, and they will yield such to
them-a mine Of wealth with painful
reluctance.
At Springfield on Tuesday night, one
Of Kinks COlOred militia fired off a gun
and alarmed the whole camp, creating a
temporary stampede, and setting the
musketry TO popping ia all directions for
a few minutes. As no foemen or con-
servatives showed themselves, the scare
was soon over, and nothing was bit but
an old tree, which stood silent witness
to the sublimely terrific drama
The Gazette Of the Ist inst. supplies
the following: On Tuesday night a
young lady residing at the house OF Mr..
James PentecOst, on North Cherry
street, on retiring to her room, to her dis
may discovered a great rusty looking
/ Irishman snugly ensc0nced in her bed
She Immediately gave the alarm, and
! Mr.. PentecOst and another gentleman
/ the room and found the man as afOre-
/ stated. On being questioned as to his
motive, be said he was very drunk when
/ he entered the house and was in search
/ of some water. But both gentlemen say
/ there was no appearance Of iutOXicatiOu
/ when they found him. his statements
| to them were contradictory to those
given by himself in court yesterday, and
/ the recorder sent him to the workhouse
| seventy-twO days. The same paper
/ says z Ward Skipped yesterday TO
/ Memphis six hundred pieces Of his cele-
I Orsted bagging, manufactured at the
/ Tennessee peuitenuary in this city.

! ton with the Louisville manufacture,

The Daily American Uai0u says
Brownlow disfranchised Henry county
two days before the election, because
there were too many legal voters Op-
posed to his policy.
The night before the election, one
Johns, of the late Repi,5 lean, made a
speech at Chattanooga, and spoke to the
Africans about the anglo SaxOns in
their midst" That describes the radical
party pretty well.
-Sub-AssistantC Commissioner Walker,
III Ills lCADlL 70 NGll. AaAllu hl the us
turbaDces at RogeTsville and Knoxville,
throws the entire blame upon the con-
servatives, though he states that the
negroes who were wounded at Knoxville
were cheering for Brownlow at the con-
servstive meeting. In the opinion of
these white negrOes-a black man, like
the king-can do no wrong
East Tennessee has given Brownlow
a majority, but not nearly as lsrge as he
claimed IL will probably not exceed
ten thousand, and the whole majority in
the state will not, it is now believed,
much exceed twenty thousand if it
reaches that figure. So far as heard
from, 1t is now Il, 600.
"A riot is apprehended at Murfrees-
borO, as an assault was made yesterday
on II. Mclaughlin, editor of the Monitor,

there, although Mayor Reedy had tele-
graphed to the state authorities that he
had appointed extra police and could
maintain peace.

Hawkins, Mullins, Mum and Butler
