Out of EMPLOYMENT,

Many Of the niggers of Tennessee who vot7d
| for Brownlow and against their best friends, re-
ceived partial settlement-they arc being dis
charged from employment and advised to go to
their Radical friends for work, in future. There
| are few Radicals in the State who can furnish
labor for their negro allies and, MS conse-
quence, many hundreds of the colored troops
who "fought nobly" for Brownlow, find them
selves with nothing to do, and no "6thy lucre''
to do with
We learn from Nashville dispatch to the
Louisville Courier that the Bureau authorities
are taking measures for the relief off the hundreds
| OF negroes thrown out of employment--that
Judge John Lawrence formerly connected with
the Bureau, has been appointed by Gen. Carlin
to take charge of the prescribed freedmen in
Middle Tennessee, with instructions TO use every
exertion to secure employment for them no mat
ter where found. The dispatch goes on to say
In his instructions Gen Carlin says 'if neces-
sary, to advertise by telegraph and in the papers
North and South, that laborers can be supplied
by yourself ii necessary to ship any beyond the
State, to prevent them from becoming charge
on the Government.
Transportation will be furnished from Wash.
ngton. You can take possession of the contra
band barracks and establish depot there for all
who have no homes.

relief societies, as well as all good citizens, can
do something TO alleviate the hardships that
must result from this wholesale prescription.
Accompanying these instructions, Judge Law
renee will appeal, through the papers, to the
people of the States urging forh earance and toe-
ration towards the freedmen"
We hope the Conservatives of Tennessee will
pursue the policy they have inaugurated to the
end, and drive the black disciples of Brownlow
en- mdsSe from the State. Invite emigration to
your State, OF white men, and resolve to employ
no more of the negroized Brownlowites, whose ef-
forts are all directed to the subjugaton and sla-
very of those who have been their best and truest
friends. Pursue this policy untlinchingly,
Brownlowism will disappear from your State,
and the day of freedom will dawn for you once
again. Let the Bureau feed and provide for the
black paupers of the repuhlc-it does not con-
Germ you That is an evil which will work out
its own cure The people have to foot the Bu-
reau bills, and they grumble already worse than
poor man with an extravagant wife They
will growl more every day-the significant mu-
sic of protesting people will be heard from the
Pacific TO the Atlantic, from the Gulf to the
Lakes, soon--act well your part, therefore, and
lift the negro burden from your shoulders to
those of the ones who should rightfully bear it.
"Charity begins at home, THE first duty of
white men is to protect themselves, and look af-
ter those of their own race
A later dispatch to the same paper, under date
of the 8th states that General Carlin will pub
lish circular letter tomorrow, notifying color
ed people that in obedience to orders from Wash
ington, no rations will be issued, under any cir
cumstances, to the destitute, after the Goth of
August. The General, in letter to Judge Law
renee, broadly intimates that. certain Radicals
here are preventing idle negroes from going 10
work in the country, in order to secure their
votes in the municipal election in September
