NASHVILLE, Sept, 19.-lThe follow

of the Senate and the House, was re-
ceived to-day from the Legislature
committee, who went to see the Presi-
dent. '...f ,.-..J ri .i-.r. b..
"The President will sustain the
civil authorities Orders have been
issued department commanders to sus-
tain and aid the civil authorities, and
sufficient force will be furnished to
accomplish such purposes.n rs... 81.
Notwithstanding the tender of Fed
eral troops sufficient to meet all emer-
gencies, DIR. Boynton, acting Cover
nor and son-in-law ofGOv. BrOwnlow,
arrived in the city this evening, says
that the proclamation calling out the
militia will be issued on Tuesday.
The city is now swarming with ne
groes who have been waiting here for
weeks to join the militia. 1t Is init
mated in some quarters that colored
troops will not be employed at first,
as East Tennessee appears anxious to
furnish the necessary number of white
men. .... .f... -. ...-....fr. .......

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Morgan
and Schenck, after an interchange of
views with Radical brethren, have
issued a call for the re-assembling of
Congress on Monday. They admit
fi,p -
ment OF the country Is against 1t; but
they deem it prudential to make
some provision for q meeting in Oc-
tober, experimenting disastrous route
in the elections that month. This,
and 10 further tic the hands Of the
President, are some of the reasons
for calling the session. There is some
doubt that q quorum Of Senators viii
be present Monday, but a quorum Of
the House is already secured. lt.
Preliminary to q meeting the lead
ing Radicals have agreed to meet on
Friday and hold general pow-wow,
in which the political situation will
be discussed and also affairs of the

THE New York Tribune parades the
expulsion of negro members of the
Georgia Legislature as evidence of
Democratic hatred Of the negro race.
The Tribune ought to know that the
white Radicals expelled the black for
the purpose of making room for the
scallawags whom the negro delegates
defeated in the election. The truth Il
that the white Radicals dcspise the
negroes, and are, at heart, in favor OF
n white mans government, provided
they can retain the power they now
hold. But knowing they can do this
only by negro votes, the villains dc
violence to their honest convictions
in order to crafty their dishonest
greed and merccnary ambition.

In seems that tho legislative COM
mittee sent to Washington TO procure
federal aid for the civil authorities of
this State, has been successful, orders
to that effect having been issued to
Gen. Thomas. Can the President be
ignorant Of the fact that there is no
disturbance of the pcace--no resist
ance to civil authority, except In To-
calties where Radicalism abounds I?
II he does know it, is not the infer
ence plain that the object of the Rad
icals Is not to procure aid to the civil
authorities in the discharge of their
legitimate functions, but to assist the
militia against the people, whenever
the party i'm power chooses to use the
military as means of lawless aggres-
sion and oppression? That such is
the Radical design will be made man
ifest by the calling cut of militia In
the face of the Presidents assurance
that the federal force is ample to
maintain peace and enforce the laws.
suppose Brownlow attempts to carry
out his threat of determination
against the rebels-as he calls all hon
est men--does the President intend
that Gen. Thomas shall aid him, on
the ground that the work of destruc,
ton was inaugurated by the civil au-
thorities. If he does not mean this,
is it not his duty to suppress the mill
tin, as the shortest and surest means
Of preserving the peace? Any othei
course will be combination between
federal and State authorities to. crush
out the best people in the State, thai
tyranny may rule over ruin.

10 NORTHERN Democrats complain,
not without cause, Of the garbled re-
ports Of conversations with promi-
ncnt Southern men With Radical
newspaper reporters. These reporters
are sent South to extract the opinions.
Of leading men, and are instructed to
make such, perverted statements as
will furnish capital for their party
North. And although this trick has
been so often and so successfully play
cd, the victims learn nothing from
bitter experience.
Soutlierncrs are generous, conflding
and frank, and Radical enissaries, in
capable of appreciating these exalted
virtues, are beartlcss and cunning
enough to seize upon them as means
Of perpetrating iniquities which, to
honest ndgoodm men, arc perfectly alb
horrent. In some eases, the virtues
last enumerated ere sadly alleged by
u love of notoriety that seeks gratifi-
cation at the cost of prudence and the
hest interest of the South. We
scarcely take up paper that does not
contain an account of n conversation
between this Southern man and that
Radical reporter, and every such ac-
count abounds in insinuations, repre-
& ntations, and pervcrsion5 well cal
Culated to embarrass Northern DEM
ocrats and to give aid and comfort to
the Radicals. A little reflection ought
to satisfy any Southern man that such
Northern emissaries are actuated by
no honest and patriotic motives. In
stead, therefore, of submitting to be
Gatechiscd by such sneaks, Southern
men should rcpcl them by force, if
impervious to the shafts of a silent
contempt. ..........,
Its in the North that the great
battle for liberty Is being fought, and
it is as little as the South can do to
withhold from its enemies the aid and
comfort to be derived from the UNI
guarded remarks made to spies and
informcrs whose business it is to sup
press truth and propagate falsehood.
After denials and explanations do no
good because they are studiously
withheld from those whose minds
have been poisoned by the first false
publications. t N.. ....'
The true policy, then, IL to converse
with none but gentlemen. This will
exclude all Radical reporters, and
abate an, evil which is eXerting no
lit,lcinfiuencoag against Democracy and
the liberty and prosperity of the coun-
Try. The apostacy OF n Longstreet
toes far less injury to the South than
the perverted remarks Of u Forest
and since truth can never reach the
Northern mind through the report,
Of Radical emissaries, silence is Tho
tru6st wisdom. \ celebrated teacher
once said to his pupils with whom h,
was playing-'let lis be grave, n foo
sFpprOaching." Substitute knav
for fool and make the application t.
every Northern man who seeks t,
know yollrpolitical opinions.
