THE REGULARS AND THE MELLsH
AT FRANKLIN.

The DImcuity On the I4th-0ficiRI
Report of Sergt. HRzen-InfamOus
Conduct of the MiIitia-They March
the Streets with Loaded Guns and
Fixed BayOneIs, cheering for Brown
low and Insulting the Regulars.
The Press and Times has been in spasms
for some time about the difficulty between
the regulars and militia at Franklin on
the 18th, and wouldn't believe it occurred
until the official report of Sergeant NJ. V.
B. Hazen to Capt. Burke was received at
Gen. Duncan's headquarters. We publish
the following extracts from the Sergeants
report, which forever settles the question,
not only of the difficulty, but of the gen.
eral conduct of the militia at Franklin:
"The company of colored militia sta
toned at this place came into the city
about o'clock on the evening of the 18th
inst, with guns loaded and bdyOaetS fired,
cheering for Brownlow The first Ser
geant, in command of the company, Capt.
Sumner being absent at Nashville) in
formed me, when | asked him why they
were acting so disorderly in the street, that
it was no business of mine Ireplied that
our commanding officers did not allow us
to behave in that manner.
His reply was that DR.. Cliff had sent for
his company, as he anticipated riot, that
he wanted their company to protect him"
DR.. Cliff come to me afterward and told
me that it was all a mistake.
think they came for the express pur
pose of creating a disturbance with the
company of the 45th United States infantry,
which they have threatened to do on sew
eral occasions. have heard them myself
make the remark that that they and the
loyal league would "clean out the regulars
before election"
At all hours of the night they march up
and down the street in front of our COM
pany quarters with their guns, and bayo-
nets fixed, singing songs and cheering for
Brownlow.
Since their arrival, Capt. Summers COM
pany of State militia have done every
thing in their power to aggravate the SOL
diers of your command, but all such in
suits have been disregarded, as the mem
bers of Co. c, 45th Infantry, have too high
a regard for your orders to allow Insult
from political quarter to interfere with
their duties as soldiers"

WHY EFHERIDGE WILL NOT MEET
MAYNARD AS A GENTLEMAN.
From the Knoxville Free Press.


Some people may wonder why Mr.. Ether
idge does not treat Horace Maynard as 4
gentleman. The reason is easily explained.
In the early part of the canvass, Maynard
charged that Etheridge had been expelled
from gambling saloon in Washington City,
and gave as his author, Uhen pressed for his
authority, the name of Mr.. James G. Walk
er, formerly resident and editor of this
city. The following letter will show that
Mr.. Etheridge, or Mr.. anybody else, is JUS
titled in treating MAYNARD as a common aud
public slandrer Here is the letter of Mr..
Walker:
PARKERsBURG, VA, July 6, 1S67.-JoHN
WILLIAMS EsQ.-MY DEAR SIR: In res
gard to the statement attributed TO me by
Mr.. Maynard that Mr.. Etheridge was ex
PEELED from club or gambling house, or
any other place, | am sorry to say that
truth compels me to pronounce it utterly
false and without foundation. never
played a card or belonged to any club in
my life where cards were played, and do
not know that Mr. Etheridge ever did.
have no knowledge of any action ever hay-
ing been had in any club or any sort of as
ISOLATION in reference to Mr.. Etheridge. If
anything was ever said to Mr.. Maynard
touching such action, it must have been by
somebody else.
Truly yours, J. c. WALKER.

gents: Please allow me, through your
columns, TO answer an article which APP
peared in the same under date of the 23d
inst, concerning myself, and headed the
Hipkins rape case"
deem it bat Justice to myself to say that
this is the second or third time this has
appeared in your columns under the head
OF rape" and believing, gentlemen, that
you would not publish falsehood concern
ing any man if you knew it, and believing
you willing to correct an error at all times,
l would say this is an error of the grossest
kind. have never been prosecuted for a
rape" or an attempt at rape, but merely
for an assault and battery, and how you
could have put this construction on it is
more than | can conceive. This prosecu~
ton is a malicious conspiracy gotten up
and set on foot by men void of character,
and who have no more principle than the
meanest dog that runs your streets. Such
men as Thompson McKinly, the present
Commissioner of Registration of Sumner
coCnty, captain of a militia company, and
a candidate fos representative. and who is
no more tit for either position that the devil
is to occupy tarone in heaven. l look upon
this man McKinly as dirty trickster and
aspirant who would stoop TO any act of
meaRness to accomplish selfish purpose.
He is a man l would not believe on oath,
under any circumstances, where dollars
and cents were concerned, and l believe
hundreds of this community will bear me
out in the assertion, and he admits himself
that if the colored people leave him he will
have to leave the country. And sincerely
hope, after the election day, to style him "a
dead cock in the pit" Another is j. V.
Minor, an unprincipled, narrow contract
ed, close listed wretch, who is a simple ma.
chine, operative at the will of Thompson
McKinly; and who, by the way, is the
proprietor of rat den, bed-bug harbor, and
better known as the louise trap, and
styled the "Gallatin Hotel" situated in our
little city. Another is George Weaver,
who has been a feather in McKinly's
right wing for the purpose of getting po-
sion as first lieutenant in the militia, the
members of which, l am pleased to say,
had honor and respect enough for them
selves to unanimously reject him, and since
that time he has reminded me more of a
dilapidated piece of linen, joined to Nc
Kinly's coat tail than the beautiful feather,
as before mentioned.

THAT ToRCHLIGHT PRoCEssIoN.-Sla
Town was to have been brilliantly ilIGmi-
mated with tallow candles and the citizens
Of that quiet suburban villa were to hear
the gospel according to Radical teachings.
A torchlight procession was planned to
dazzle the eyes of the crowd. The drum
and fie squealed out their discordant notes
along Church street. One solitary torch,
made by culling holes in an old cigar box
and covering them with colored paper,
threw ats sickly rays over the face Of the
gallant drummer, who was evidently not
''the drummer boy Of Shiloh" Between
High and Vine on the opposite side Of the
street, might be seen a solitary torch bearer
/ who came forth to reinforce his solitary
| friend. The two united and walking at the
head of the column, composed of drummer,
tiier and half-dozen little juveniles made
such grand pyrotechnic display as the
/ denizens Of Church street have not seen for
many a night.

A Touch OF THE DAYS OF KNIGHT
HoOD.-A friend Of ours in this city, whose
heart is alive to all the poetic creations
which beautify the ages of chivalry, having
fair lady" friend just convaIescing
from a severe spell Of illness, concluded he
would send her something to eat which
might tempt her fastidious palate While
walking along the street he discovered a
pair of beautiful young pigeons playing
| around their nest on the .transom Of a tall
window BY aid of a scaffolding OF chairs
he climbed to the nest and caught one of
the beautiful birds, whose plumage was
the softest blending Of purple and crimson,
and wrote the lady a note and tied it
around the neck of the beautiful bird with
| a blue ribbon, with this mOtto-"Then fly
to her bower, sweet bird" and in a few
moments the messenger bird was in her
bower, looking love from its soft eys, not
dreaming that it was to be victim. The
lady, touched by the sweet little messen-
gers innocent looks, saved its life This
little incident is a revival of the spirit of
the Troubadours, whose songs of love and
war still echo SO sweetly in the pages of
the old romances."
