Editors KuorriIls Rhig:
The above is the official vote of "old Jefferson"
given in on yesterday, which 1 wish you to publish
as an answer to lying little letter sent from this
place after Etheridge was here, and published in
the Free Press, over the signature of "5 LIS" We
have never thought proper to dignity the letter
with an answer and send this as a rebuke to the
little clique at this place to show the gentlemen
where they stand, and where the respectable portion
of the people, SO much talked of stand on the issues
of the day. If the rebel party in Jefferson county
compose the respectable portion, think we are in
something like the tx Sodom and Gomorrah of old
were, and we need not be surprised at any time to
receive visitation of FIRE. They are the worst
whipped set of men I ever saw in my life-their
countenances to-day wear the most woe-begone ex-
pression-they seem to have become perfectly dis
gusted with politics. and all that hare any business
about here, think, viii apply themselves to itfrOm
this on. "Slickey, Gf you don't know him, ask
Dave Nelson, says he is going as Secretary of LIE
CATION to Col. Netherland, to Bolivia iii is So,
all we have to say ia, the Colonel ia man of less
taste and of a stronger stomach than we supposed,
but we bid him God-speed, for he will please the
community here very much.

In the address of the Rebel Executive Commit

business is q two-handed game, one that is capable
of being played at by great many; and below 1
send you the names of few of the spoilers in this
county, so that the world may know who they are,
and be enabled to look out for them;

hope that every district in the county will make
out and send you list, and let them be published,
for in less than ten years every one Of them will be
running around trying to prove that they never
voted the rebel ticket in 1867. In fact, one man
with three others in the first district in this coun
ty actually denied it before he left the voting
grou nds. Tell Governor Brownlow to have PEN
sion voted to Etheridge for speaking, and TO John
G. Turnkey for accompanying him over the county.
