A Vivid Picture.

A correspondent of the Mem
phis appeal, an old Federal SOL
der, gives bis views freely in re-
gard to the late farce, which has
gone to the world as an election.
Among other things he says:
"Every Tennesseean who en-
tered the Federal armies, and
fought for the preservation of the
Union, stood for Etheridge and
against Brownlow-for instance !:
Maj. Gen. Gillem, Maj. Gen. Car
ter, Col. A. E. Carrot, Maj. Will
lis, of Hawkins, and a whole host
of others, equally prominent and
too numerous to mention. On the
other hand, every vagabond who
deserted the Confederate army,
or had his head shaved and was
drummed out of service and en-
tered ours for the purpose of rob-
bling and plundering his neighbors,
voted for Brownlow and opposed
Mr.. Etheridge; for instance, Hunt,
Stokes, Hawkins, Hardeman, Smith
and a host of others of lesser note
which | have no time to enumerate.
The late contest was a struggle
between grease, filth, ignorance,
bigotry, and despotism on the one
side, and soap, clean clothes, hon.
esty, virtue, patriotism, intelli-
gence, and manhood on the other"
| Again the writer says:
"No man, from Etheridge down,
was placed upon the Conservative
ticket who was not an original
consistent Union man. / defy
these Radical rascals to name a
single candidate placed upon the
Conservative ticket who was faint
ed with secession. While on the
other hand the majority of the
Radical ticket was made up of
apostate rebels, and the great
bulk of their party is composed of
original secessionists, traitors, and
deserters from the rebel armies"
Here then is true picture of
men in the late canvass, and there
is no exaggeration-no extenua-
ton in the drawing. AS the
writer styles himself a "Union
Soldier" who fought under the
Federal flag during the war, he
certainly should be good witness
with those who were actuated by
similar motives during that try
ing period. Having seen the
Union imperiled, assailed on every
side by those who have been its
reputed friends, he again comes to
the rescue, and shows up the re-
creants and conspirators, the brig
gands and banditti, in their true
colors.

The Louisville Journal says
No man who pretends to consider
the late Tennessee election a legit-
innate Radical triumph, should be
permitted to sit down at tavern
where the knives, forks, and spoons
are not chained to the table.

Thursday Morning, August 20, 1867
Our Railroad Sacrificed

We find the following article
in the Winchester Home Journal
of the 22nd inst, and commend
it to the careful attention of our
readers:
W. & A. R. R. This road,
which passed into the hands of the
State, under the management of
Capt. Davenport, is being rapidly
repaired the track having been
laid to Hunts Station, about 123
miles from this place, and the
work goes bravely on.
We learn 1t IS the intention
of the controlling poaoe, to eepead
the means INFESTED by the Legislature
IN carrying the road as far as pos
sible toacords Gumtersuille, there to
connect aoah the North Alabama
Railroad. This is a grand idea,
and if it can be possibly carried
out, will rebound to the prosperity
of this section, as it will most
certainly result. in the extension
Of the road northeast via McMinn-
vile, to the principal cities of the
great Northeast.
The work is being pushed for
ward with commendable zeal,
and we can only express the wish
that the connection aforesaid will
be consummated at an early day.
About two weeks ago, a gentle
man informed the editor of this
paper, that Mr.. Davenport's pro-
gramme was to expend the bonds
furnished by the State, IN extend
ing the Road to Alabama, saying
that if Lincoln county wanted
the track laid to Fayetteville, its
people could be gratifed by foot
ing the bill. Our informant re-
fused to fully credit the report,
and therefore we said nothing
about the matter. The Journals
article, however, confirms the
statement. The funds hereto
fore furnished by this county are
to be kept, Of course, for the ben
eft of another community. In
1857, when Lincoln county came
to the rescue, and subscribed one
hundred thousand dollars, the
Road was hopelessly bankrupt,
work stopped, not car on the
line. Over half of our subscrip-
ton was expended in Franklin
county, the Company was relieved
of its embarrassments, and the
Road completed. In a word,
Lincoln county money has been
pitted against Franklin county
brains, and we have come out
loser. That's about the whole
matter. Whether We are to quiet
ly sit down and be thus swindled
out of our Road without word
of protest, remains to be seen.

The Philadelphia Press very
coolly says it would not desire to
see such a man as Brownlow Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, bat he
is good enough for Tennessee.

The Latest Radical "Mar.
tyr!"

Inc Latest Radical "Mar-
tyr!'
The most convin cling proof of
the peaceful and abiding atti-
tude of our people, is the great
scarcity of material for Radical
martyrs" The Mercer.nary ed
itor finds himself in such terrible
straits in this respect, that he does
not hesitate to take up the pettiest
thief for Radical apotheosis. The
most recent instance of his desper-
alton is this from the Press and
Times:
ASSASSINATION OF SERGEANT AS.
KEW IN DEKALB COUNTY-TWELvE
BALLS SHOT THROUGH HIS BODY.
We were shocked yesterday
evening to hear of the assassina-
ton of Jehn Askew, Orderly Ser
geant in Capt. Joe Blackburn s
company of State Guards. He
was returning from Gen. Stokes
residence in DeKalb county, on
Thursday evening last, when he
was fred on by several men, who
were lying in wait among the bush
es by the roadside. He fell from
his horse, and his assassins rush
ed up and fired several bullets in
to his body and left him for dead.
He was picked up shortly after,
still alive, but we learn expired
soon after. This brutal and cow
ardly murder took place on Caney
Fork. Sergt. Askew is said to have
been.a most exemplary and excel
lent young man, and his untimely
death is greatly regretted. No
doubt is entertained that his as
sassins were moved by political
hatred to commit the shocking
crime"
A gentleman from DeKalb
writes us that "the lamented As
kew still lives!" He was shot in
the face and head with squirrel shot,
and a man who lives near where
it was done found it polite to leave
home upon the approach of Black
burns militia, because he had shot
a man "a has acaterpaelon patch on
the night that Askew says he was
assassinated. The women folks
told the militia to go into the wa
termelon patch and they could find
the blood! This is reliable.
So much for this pretty assas.
sination story. The martyr
stubbornly refuses to die, for the
"goud of the cause" The "twelve
balls shot through his body" prove
to be a lot of squirrel shot. The
Exemplary and excellent young
man" is caught in watermelon
patch! Several assassins s1ying
in wait among the bushes" dwin-
die down to a single honest far
mer! And the political hatred"
against Askew turns out to be a
laudable desire to preserve ones
property from midnight providers!
Try again, Malignant! TITS
said that "practice makes perfect" "
and in the course of constant en-
deavor, you may yet tell story as
as our old friend the Bar
on Munchausen.
