stituency faithfully and not a vote has he
cast in the interest Of rebels. He has voted
for every radical Measure that was brought
before the Legislature. The people OF the
district will support Mr. Nelson most enthu-
siastically, and il any one is foOl-hardy
enough to oppose his election, he wlll meet
with defeat, from the disgrace Of which be
never will recover. Weregret that Senator
Nelson can remain only for a short time. He
will leave for Nashville about the first of
May, where he will be detained for some
time, being one of the committee appointed
by the Legislature to investigate the impeaeh-
ment case of Judge Frazier. But if he is
prevented from canvassing his district thor
Oughly, his constituency know enough Of
his character to trust him again. He has
been their friend. He has fought for them
with the sword, and commended for their
rights and interests in their legislative hsHs.

we will all have to get out of East Tennessee,
and that is hard to do, as they guard all the
roads and paths, and kill all the Union men
they capture. If we don't get relief soon by
the Federal Army, we had better try TO get
to Kentucky, for We can't remain here much
longer, at least such men as you and myself,
for they are watching me very closely, and ]
will not be disappointed if am arrested at
any moment, butt am facing up the best /
can. Old Humphreys thinks ! am a pretty
good Southern man, andI don't care what he
thinks if | can get our Union men out OF
prison, for they are starving. | have Lot
them have every cent of money | had and
borrowed from Sam. Morrow, q true man.
If the Federal Army don't soon come into
East Tennessee, by the time | come home we
must get our Union men to Kentucky some
how. think il can be done by letting on
that we are raising a regiment for the Con-
iederats Army, and when we get four or I'VE
hundred which VIC easily can, we can arm
them as best we can and march them to Ken
lucky in spite OF the Rebels. You, Simerly,
and myself can in a few days raise that num-
Der, and we will start for Knoxville, and
when we get to the nearest point to Kentucky
we can rush across the mountains-we will
have 10 be quick when We commence, as the
Rebels will find it out, and we 60 up. Old
lessee says he will eat this letter before the
Rebels shall capture it. He will not be in
terrupted as he has a pass. Say to my Union
friends to stand firm, that we are right and
time will prove it. have had to do aud say
many things that went hard with me, bat
God knows that | am doing all in my power
for the Union men, and will do so, sink or
swim, live or die--nO position or money that
Rebels have, can influence me Il am with the
people Of johnson and Carter, their fate shall
be mine, if they go down | will go down
with them.
will close as l am writing on a leaf torn
from a book, the Confederacy can't afford
paper to write upon, it is a nice arrangement
My compliments to all, and accept the same.
Yours truly,
II. R. BUTLER.

without solicitation bored the Convention on
personal matters for about one hour and a
quarter.
Nat. B. Owens, Esq, being loudly called
for, Patton gave way, and Mr.. Owens conclu-
d0d his speech. His remarks were full OF
force and to thepOint. He urged the Radical
Uniouists 20 stand by the nominee Of the
Union Party, and our victory was certain.
After Mr.. Owens concluded his remarks,
Capt. Hacker arose, and in a handsome man
ner returned thanks to the Convention for
the honor conferred upon him. He sincerely
hoped that there would be no division among
those true Union men who had stood together
for SO long against the common enemy. The
nomination had been unsought upon his part,
but if he was the choice of the Radical
Union party Of Washington county, and
should be elected, he would endeavor to serve
them faithfully and devOtedly. His speech
was warmly a~pplAuded by the Convention.
A motion was then made to adjourn, which
was carried.

UNION LEAGUES.

We would impress upon every Radical
Union man by whom our paper is read, the
necessity Of a thorough organization Of the
party. We have a stupeudous task before US.
We must labor faithfully and zealously-
never firing or growing weary in the blessed
cause. Our enemies will suffer no opportu-
nifty to pass unimproved to make a point
against US. They will move heaven and
earth to divide and scatter our ranks, and
thus achieve .heir wicked designs. Let US
rally as one man to the standard of Radical
Republicanism, and strike the monster Of
Johnsonian treason, wherever it exhibits its
hydra-head. To this end, Union Leagues
should be organized in each civil district Of
the county By this means a concert Of ac-
ton can be secured and the harmony Of the
Radical Party, the chief essential to success,
be accomplished beyond all peradyenture.
In unity is strength. If the sceptre Of pow
er departs from the Radical party the fault
will be its swn.

We see by the Knoxville Wing, of date
April 3rd, that a large and enthusiastic Con-
~yention was held in that city on Monday
last, for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates to represent that county and aoateria1
district in the next General Assembly. DR..
L. NJ Mynatt was unanimously nominated as
the candidate of the Radical Union party to
represent Knox county. Our friend, Col. J
B. Brownlow, the able and energetic editor
of the Wing, was nominated for Floater with
out a eissentiug voice. This is a most de-
serving compliment to a brave and gallant
soldier; one who has proved his undying
faith by his effective works. Here is the
Resolution
Resolved, That we hereby declare our pre-
ference for Col. John 3. BroWElow as Floater
to represent Knox and Sewer counties, aud
put him forward as the choice Of the loyal
men Of Knox county. We cordially but most
respectfully commend him 20 the favorable
consideration Of thepeople observer county,
hereby distinctly recognizing the proprlety
and duty of mutual consultation in the selec-
ton of a candidate fol- Floater.
We regret that Col. B. has declined the
honor. We need such uncomPromising Union
lists in this exigeacy OF our State affairs, and
we trust, get, that he will feel it to the in
terest of the party, AID to his own personal
interest," to allow his name to be placed at the
head of the column. But in case he persists
in retaining a more unassuming position,
there are none who can accomplish more good
or keep aloft the spirit Of the Republican party
with more zeal than the gallant Colonel. He
can and piU accomplish as much, or perhaps
mere than If be were a legislator.

This gentleman is the candidate Of the
Radical Union party of Washington county
TO represent them in the lower house Of the
next General Assembly Of tie State. We
never placed the name Of any man at our
masthead with more pride and pleasure, than
we do that Of Capt. Hacker. lie is a s~tAuneh,
bold, and incorporating Radical U~niOnist,
and morally and politically he il meritOrious
aud worthy of the most implicit confidence.
He S]spOused the cause Of Radicalism &C an
early day and was one Of its ablest cham
pionS from the very time that Andy johnson
showed his cloven foot to the loyal people Of
the country. He does not seek the office, but
the Office seeks him. He is a candidate sim
ply because it Is the voice Of the people,
and not that bis aspirations or peeuniary in
terests lead in that direction. His election
will be,a POOR reward, it is true, tor the ser
vice be has rendered his party, bat our NOR
al social and political interests demand that
hO accept this popular appreciation Of his
patriotism and merits. In the darkest hours
when il seemed that the Radical party would
be crushed BY public sentiment, when the
administration at Washington was lending
lie power to build up a conservative party
10 this country and thus annihilate all true
friends of the Government, Capt. Hacker
stood like a Gibraltar wall, fixed and i'm
movable. Through the deepest gloom be
could see a star Of hope in a sky that was
~starleSs to almost all others. lie defended
the principles Of constitutional freedom for
