The agitation of the Labor question
still continues and is Of unvarying inter
est to all classes of manufacturers and
laborers-the working men are determin-
ed that the eight hour law shall not be
dead letter while the manufacturers gen
orally avow the most decided objection to
the proposed reduction of laboring time
even with corresponding reduction of
wages The ship carpenters have vol
unfairly resolved to lower their wages
from $500 per diem to $3.50 as soon as
the eight-hou rule goes into operation
Master builders have already adopted
the policy of paying by the hour. En-
ployers who hire BY the week or month
affirm that they will, on no consideration
consent to the eight7hour system. All
these straws show which way the wind is
blowing and if the proposed united
strike of the working men takes place
as is anticipated on the first of May, a
lively time may be expected. The ma
jority of employers in nearly every line
of business will contest the new order of
things or else viii propose to the working
men as a compromise such terms as will
inevitably, from present appearances, be

Words of Warning.

We clip the following item from the
Nashville Gazette of the 25th inst, We
hope our farmers will be prepared for the
coming emergency i, speaks of:
A good deal has been said about the mu-
tual dependence of the white and colored
people. and no little has been said relative
to the entire and perfect dependence of the
black upon the white race. Recent. indi-
cations led country exchange to the con,
clusion, that persuaded By Radicals, the ne
groes are going to put the question to a
severe test. They propose general strike
for higher wages-say one dollar per day
for field hands, and others in proportion
thereby at once bringing about the issue to
see which of the two, races can best do
without the other. We have been salts
fed for a long time that such an issue
would be made. but we did not anticipate
action SO soon. We looked for it later in
the season, when the crop needed laborers
most but, if come it must, it is perhaps
as we'll that it should be settled at once.
This is serious question presented for
the consideration of the people. It may
produce great financial distress, and it may
bring on a war of races. The eye of God
alone can pierce the vail of the future and
see the result. We wish you to be prepar-
ed for any event, and we mean by this that
you should endeavor to put your farms In
such a condition that if your laborers
should leave you it would not result in ruin
to you.
We do not propose to advise you how
to act in case such a thing should happen.
Each man must be the judge of his own
course. We ask you to consider and weigh
we'll the whole matter, for you may rest as
sured that you will have to act upon it at
no distant day.

.Freedom, in East Tenne.sae.

"The battle cry of freedom''-revised
and corrected by Parson Brownlow-is
ringing boldly and clearly over the hills
and wales of East Tennessee. The tele-
graph gives few notes of the new melo-
dY, as follows;
KNoxvlLLE, April 27.-The Loyal Lea
que of Biouut county, under the lead of
Sheriff Ne Cornell and other citizens of
Marysvihe, mobbed the Rev. Mr.. Haynes,
a minister of the Methodist Church South,
on last Sabbath, and drove him out of
Marysville. They then went out of the
town two miles, and broke up a congregs-
ton of the same church while they were
assembling for worship. Negroes. were in
the mob.
The Rev. w. T. Dowell, Of the Church
North, is charged with having been pre-
sent at a league meeting and having insti-
gated the mob. Several Union army of
fcers who opposed the mob have been
threatened with violence.
Arms for the State militia have been sent
to Msrysville, to one of the leaders of the
mob.
Two assaults were made in this city
this week on men who have been rebels
The political selling is bitter and violent.
The arming of the militia creates intense
feeling and dissatisfaction.

THE freedmen THEATENED. The Nash
Wills Press and Times says Congress will
watch the oolored votes of Tennessee close
ly during the coming summer, and if they
should vote with the rebel party it will be
the last colored voting done in the South
for many years to come. The nation has
no more use for black rebels than for white
ones, and will give the former no more in
diligence than the latter.

that SO determined is the President to carry

What It Means.

A very common exclamation in the Col
lectors Office these days, by hard working
men, upon hearing the amount of their tax
es, is what does it mean
We can tell you, hard-working friends,
who have been voting the Radical ticket
for the past SIX years, what it means in a
very few sentences
1t means that you have been voting to
rob yourself for the purpose of enriohiDg
as rapacious a set of seoundrels as ever
lived.
It means that you have been helping to
buid up money aristocracy, who by their
money control the legislation of the coun-
try for their own interests.
It means that you pay the taxes of your
neigbbors, who have their thousands in
vested IN bonds.
1t means that you have become serfs to
the "loyal'' of the Radical party.
Itmesns thai a national debt is nation,
al curse.
It means that unless you want your sons
to lead slavish life, you must help to hurl
from power the thieves who, under the
guise of loyalists, are making this coun-
try despotism and its people slaves.
1t means that at the first opportunity
you should refuse to bear the burdens of
your holding neighbors.
Compare the above with your tax receipts,
and see if they do not tally.

Gov. Brownlows Inconsistencies.

Somebody has said that consistency is
the great virtue of small minds" If this
be so, it would argue that Gov. Brownlow's
is one of the greatest minds extant, for of
that virture il has little or none.
In 1856, he was one of the most vocife-
rous abusers of the foreign population to
be found in the whole nation. He exhaust
ed upon them his extensive vocabulary of
damnatory ePithets.- In 1865, he advised
the appoi ltment of salaried State Emil
grafton Commissioner to invite them to
Tennessee, and said they would make use
full and thrifty citizens 80
In 1857, he "out Heroded Herod'' In
support of the system of African slavery,
and made pilgrimages to prove its divine
origin, and its economical usefulness and
necessity. In 1867, his highest boast is
that even Wendell Phillips does not ex-
coed him in denunciation of Shareholders,
and in favoring the conferment of civil and
political rights upon former slaves.
In his message of October, 1865, be
said ssa
In connection with this subject of emil
grafton, beg leave to say that it is far
more safe and rational process of regene-
rating the South than any sudden and COM
pulsory admission of the blacks to the bal

ton of State rights. It occasions no ne

ed, it will accomplish the end we all have
in view while on the other hand, the in

to the colored population would increase
the evils that keep the South depressed,
and exasperate those who, under other cir
cumstances, would become devoted friend 8

A Scrap from the Record of Brownlow
In 1857, in public discourse at Knox
vile, to the delegates to the Southern Com
mercial Convention, VIM. G, Brownlow ut
tered the following as his deliberate opin-
ion:
1--WE endorse without reserve, that much
abused sentiment of a distinguished South
Carolina statesman, now no more, that
slavery is the cornerstone of our republi-
can edifce : while we repudiate, as ridicu-
lousy absurd, that much 'auded, but no.
where accredited dogma of Mr.. Jefferson,
'that all men are born equal"
If any white Republican who thinks that
slavery was ''the sum of all villanies.' or
any negro who has been deluded into the
support of BrOwnlow because he thoubgt
he was his Moses, - can still have faith in
him, it certainty Is Of that sort that can

BrownlOw for Sending the Colored PEG
pie Back to Africa.


Brown!ow said in his de bate with Pryne /:
: ''You cannot free the negro without
running him. If you free him, you must
send him back to Africa, where he come
from. tell you that if ever the vandal
abolition lords from hell and the North
free the negro, they viii have to supply the
funds TO send them to Liberia"
This is the BrownloW doctrine, and if
Brownlow is elected, it will not be year
before he will favor law to send tho col
ored people off from Tennessee to re-sn-
slave them, sell them in South America or
Cuba for Spanish gold, and appropriate
the money to the school fund, which be
and bis confederates have squsndered.-
He has betrayed his friends once, and has
no motive not to betrsy the eolored peo-
pie who have been his lifelong enemies
The game he is playing is to get in power
again, and then to run the freedmen of to
another couutry.

This, am sure, will be accorded by eve

Through TO the GnIf.


At length we may congratulate the pro-
perty holders and merchants of Nashville,
and all others interested in the growth and
prosperity of this city, that there is a rea-
sonable prospect now, for the commence
ment and early completion of the North
and South Alabama Railroad, extending
the Nashville and Decatur Road to Mont
gomery, Alabama, and there connecting
by rail and steamboat to the Gulf of Next
CO, at Mobile and Pensacola. We are truly
gratifed to learn from the Montgomery
Mail of last Friday, that at last this great
trunk railroad has been placed upon solid
and satisfactory basis, and there is no
doubt now but what it will be speedily built
between Montgomery and Decatur. A
meeting of the Directors was held in Mont
gomery on Wednesday last, which was
most harmonious and satisfactory. Col.
Sam. Tate, of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad, was present, and there is now
perfect accord between him, Mr.. President
Gilmer, Col. Chas. T Pollard, Mr.. Guthrie,
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
and other prominent railroad men, and the
directors and stockholders of the, South
and North Alabama Railroad Company,
whereby its certain construction between
Montgomery and Decatur is assured.-BGaa-
