In other localities in the State where militia are
TONED loud complaints heard OF all OF outrages
Fnere Is thing absolutely certain and that s-the
presence OF United States troops is universally desired
here IN preference to the militia. When in
mind that tho latter to great extent composed of
men who have personal grievances TO resent arising
haps from rebel outrages dspredaiions during the
war; the desre-the necessity in ac-for other troops
Is quite apparent Besides the conservatives insist that
the militia, Kept in service until August, will certainly
lppnI gnaa In IN in
securing Brownow's election. AS the people OF
the STATE are eta;ny in erment just now, and tho
Governor by his Incorporate language and partisan
appeals, is doing his full animosity
and Ill feeling engendered.
