A Negro Refuses to be AS
ISOLATED with Radicals.

Titus Ragland, a respectable ne
gro of Jackson, Tenn, considers
himself greatly wronged by finding
his name placed in a list of dele
gates to the Congressional Con-
vention, held at Brownsville on
the 23rd inst, and he publishes
the following disclaimer OF affilia-
ton with the Radicals in the Jack
son Wing of the 25th:
JACKSON, July goth, 1863
Editors Wig: In your issue of
the 18th inst, I find my name
mentioned among a list of dele
gates to represent Madison coun-
| ty in the Radical Convention
which convenes in Brownsvilleon
the 23rd of July. The appearance
of my name in the Wing was the
first information l had of my ap-
pointment. The use of my name
in such connection was without
warrant anda piece of presump-
ton on the part of those who
placed it there, that can only be
accounted for but not excused on
the ground Of ignorance as to my
real sentiments. / have nothing
in common with the Radical par
| ty. l expect to be guided in my
political course by the advice of
those men who have never deceiv-
ed me upon political questions
men whom / know to be men of
truth, honor and respectability-
and my observation teaches me
that men of this class can be found
in the great Conservative party.
Respectfully, TITUS RAGLAND.

Has Never Denied It.

Some OF the Radical papers
having ventured to deny that Gen
Grant, in 1861, said: eff the
government designs using its sol.
diers to execute the purposes of
the Abolitionists, / pledge my
word as a soldier that I will carry
my sword to the other side, and
cast my lot with that people" the
Cleveland Paindealer replies:
General Grant did use the
language attributed to him, in the
summer of 1861, at Mexico, on
the North Missouri railroad, in
command of that post, as Colone
of the twenty-frst Illinois regi
ment of infantry, not in g
speech" for he can not make 9
speech, but in the conversation
with number of prominent Union
men of that locality; and it was
used by them to induce men who
were disposed to aid the Rebels to
act with the Union men. This
has been substantiated by the
afidavits of the most respectable
men of the Union party, of thai
section of the country; and Gen
eral Grant never has nor ever will
deny it."
