Letter from Nashville
The Miscegenationists.

We clip the following extract
from a friends letter:
Mr.. ~ o. Wallace-DEAR SIR :
i see in the OBSERVER of the
18th, something with reference
to our Street Railroad. Your
correspondents statement was
correct. There has been some
trouble, and prospect for more,
under Radical Manipulation
The Railroad Company has, how
ever, by wise move, removed
the excuse for a collision. Cars
have been put on labeled "White
and Colored," where miscegena-
tors can ride, unmolested by de-
cent society. Thinking you
might wish to know who. the
Nashville amalgamationists are,
| append a list of them. These
are the men who drew up and
signed a petition, asking the South
Nashville Street Railroad Compa-
ny to repeal their rules making a
distinction between the races, and
SO force negroes and whites to
mix indiscriminately. A COM
pliance would have ruined the
Road-but what do the Radicals
care? The following are the
signers. They stand as advocates
of that revolving dogma, negro

Another Old Document.

In the OBSERVER of the 18th
inst, we published a document,
numerously signed, that originally
appeared in 1861. Our object in
making the reprint, was to show
that some of the most virulent
of the Radicals were once Rebels.
The proscriptionists appreciate
the dilemma in which the pub
LEGATION has placed them, and
their ire is stirred thereat. They
now say that when soliciting Mr..
Jones to become a candidate for
the Confederate Congress, and
in voting for him; they thought
he was an unconditional Union
man." But this plea won't an
swer. We have the record against
them. In the OBSERVER OF Octo-
Der q, 1861, we lave Mr.. Jones's
reply to the published call. There
was no concealment-everybody
hereabout knew his position, and
in voting for him, all of us endor-
sed it. The fact is, there were
no unconditional Union mel"
in this section in 1S61-Lincoln
county didn't grow such produc-
tions-we were all Rebels together.
Every old citizen Of responsibility
and sane mind, if put on his oath,
would endorse what we say on
this subject. Here is Mr.. Jones's |
reply. Read it and see if an sun
conditional Union man" could have |
voted for him:

IT. TIE Editor Of the Lincoln J5,sraal:

II TIE ERitor Of the Lincoln JJ'1r1aal:
DEAR SIR: In response to the
communication il your paper of
yesterday, numerously signed,
asking me to permit my name to
be presented as a candidate for
the Congress of the Confederate
States of america, and in an
swer to many verbal solicitations
TO become candidate for the first
Congress under the permanent
Constitution of the Confederate
States of America the election to
be held on Wednesday, the 18th
day of November next.
Fortunately for Us, and for the
success of the vital cause and prin-
ciples for which we are contend
ing, there are no party divisions
or contests to mar cur counsels or
embarrass our efforts, in the es-
tablishment of our independence;
and do most emphatically de-
precate any and all attempts,
come from what source they may,
to revive old parties or create new
ones pending the existence of the
war in which we are now engaged
for national existence. We should
be united, and act as one man,
with one heart and one mind, in
driving the ruthless invader from
our soil, and in securing peace
and safety at home, and comman-
ding respect abroad
If the wishes Of the kind friends
who have prompted me to become
a candidate shall be gratifed, L
give them and the country the
assurance Of my past public ser
vices as guarantees for the integ-I
rity and faithfulness of the dis
charge of the responsible duties
their partiality viii have imposed
upon me. With due regard to
sound economy, my paramount
object viii be 10 give the greatest
efficiency to the offensive and de-
fensive resources of the country. !
We have brave and skillful Gen
erals commanding our armies IN
the field, made up OF our relatives
and friends, who are determined
to triumph or die 1t viii be the
duty Of Congress to do all in its
power to promote the comfort, !
health and efficiency Of that az /:

~ On Monday, 10th inst,
Brownlow set aside and declared
null and void the registration of
Warren county, because some of
the voters on the poll books of
March, 1865, did not vote for
Brownlow and the whole State
ticket. The franchise law does not
make it a requirement that a vo-
ter in that or any other election
should have voted for Brownie $,
or voted an unscratched ticket of
any sort. The true reason is that
Warren county was not as relia-
bly, Radical as the Parson want
ID. The friends of ''the govern
nent,"' as Old Smut styles himself
md his office, were too scarce, and
he cards had to be stocked and
ut for a new deal. That's all.

Mr.. Drake of the Union Springs

visit to Thad Stevens. He found
the old man firmly bent upon con-
fscation as a measure of justice,
and opposed 3 reconstruction
under the Sherman Bill. At last
Mr. Drake inquired:
Suppose, sir, Alabama should
organize a government enfranchis-
ing the negro, providing for his
education and giving ample guar
antees for his protection before
the courts and in society, and IN
der that government should send

THREE DEATHS FROM EATING PORK
On Thurday last Mr.. Henry Berner, liv-
ing in the upper story of No. 2ls Co
lumbia, between Plum and Central Q
nues, purchased two hogs. On Friday
and Saturday the family partook freely
of the meat, and during Saturday night
the entire family, FIVE in number. took
suddenly sick, and at eleven o'clock
Sunday morning m old man Of seventy
wears, Mr.. Berner' 5 father-in-law, whose
name we could learn, and q daughter
and son of Mr.. B., aged respectively five
and three years, died. Mrs. Berner was
also taken sick, and narrowly escaped
death. Mr.. Berner had a slight attack,
but not seriously. The sudden illness
of the entire family, and death of three,
naturally induce the inquiry as to the
cause. In the neighborhood the i'm.
preston prevails that the pork was that
Of diseased hogs. The physician de-

doubt, by too freely eating Of pork

IMPROVEMENT IN THE REFINING OF GoLD
AND SrIvER.-Andrew Mason, mclter
and refner in the New York assay Office,
has made an improvement in the mode
of parting gold and silver, which is to
be introduced into all the branch mints.
It consists in so adjusting the metals for
granulation that the pure gold, instead
Of gold bullion, shall constitute one
third of the mixed metal; and secondly,
in boiling the gold in sulphuric acid,
after one treatment in nitric acid. The
one charge of nitric acid is to be made
larger than the Fist in the old process,
20 per cent. less than the amount in
both, while the, consumption of fuel is
greatly reduced, And much disagreeable
labor removed. It is estimated that the
saving in one years business would
amount to $7o,oOo, rating the cost Of
mining in California at 80 per cent.
greater than in New York. The econo-
nv in the above mode Of parting, con-
sists in the employment of q less guam
tity of nitric acid than has heretofore
been used, which is replaced by sui
phuric acid-the latter costing only
about one-third as much as the former.
