The Assault upon Fleming.

Last week, William G. Nelson, of Monroe county,
met John NJ. Fleming, the chief editor of The Press
and Herald on Gay street, and in a bold and manly
manner thrashed him most numerically with
hickory stick. Fleming had previously published
an editorial in his paper, in which he denounced
Nelson as a thief, swindler, perjured villain, a
traitor to his country, and a scoundrel generally
We have known Nelson intimately, from his boy
hood, first as a Wing and then as a Union man.
He is the son of an honest and upright man. His
raising, education, conduct and character do not
warrant the application of any such epithets to
him. We therefore pronounce the beating Nelson
gave Fleming well-timed and merited. He might
have done more and still been justified in the eyes
Of his friends. To have done less he would have
disappointed their expectations. That paper has
blackguarded and vfed private citizens, ministers
of the gospel, and prominent members Of the Rad
ical party until forbearance towards its yiainous
conductors has ceased to be a virtue In the brief
term Of three months all three of its editors have
been publicly chastised in the streets Of Knoxville
as they richly deserved. They have been accus-
toned, for the last twelve months, TO publish all
manner Of ISLANDERS against leading members of the
Radical party mary Of which they themselves did
not believe one word concerning, but bletc them to
be false at the time they published them with qp-
progal. In all such cases they have fortified them
selves behind some second class BLACKBOARD, grog-
shop bully or wuuld-be assassin, who would forth
with issue card announcing themselves the authors
and ready 20 give satisfaction TO those who might
feel themselves aggrieved.
The Radicals of Knoxville and vicinity desire to
keep the pesce. They have endeavored to do SO.
They have been drawn into these and similar per-
sonahties reluctantly. But they have now reached
the point when they viii longer submit to gross
outrages upon their names and characters. The
time has come when all this must cease They give
due notice, and those concerned will DO well to heed
it. Hitherto forbearance, under these repeated in
suits and tsunts, has been imputed to cowardce.-
We warn the utterers Of those infamous lies and
SANDERS that they have already tempted them too
far and that upon their own heads be the conse-
quences if they persist SENIOR EDITOR

In November.

The elections in the great central States OF Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana for State officers and
members of Congress, have made the result at the
November election perfectly certain. More than
that they have made it just certain that the Re-
publican majorites in even those States will be very
decidedly larger than the ones just given.
In every State, and even in every voting pre-
cinct, there is many man who wants to vote on
the winning side, and will do So if he can find out
which that side is a-going to be. These driftwood
voters will now cast their ballots for Grant. Right
here in Tennessee and are sorry to say, even in
East Tennessee, there are men by scores and by
hundreds, who were loyal during the war, and per-
haps were in the national army-men who suffered
much from those crueties of the rebels which al
East Tennesseeans know too well-who yet, during
this base administration of the base Andrew JOHN
son. have Joined themselves to the Conservatives in
cursing Radicals in sneering at schools and churches
for the education and elevation of the freedmen, in
grooming and crashing their teeth at "negro equal
ty' and negro rule" and in hating and insulting
'carpet-baggers" Yes, we have such right here in
East Tennessee. They put themselves into this
wretched and contemplate attitute because they
themselves. They judged that Conservatism was
to sweep everything-they fastened to worship the
rising sun of Andrew johnson. All these foolish
fellows are now seeing plain enough the shocking
bunder they made and in November, they will so
to the polls in troops and shoals to cast their votes
for Grant. And BY the first day of December, they
will be swearing they never were anything but
Radicals, and that Grant was their man from the
start. Now, we say that what will happen in this
way in our own East Tennessee will happen in ev-
cry State in the Union. Thousands and tens of
thousands of votes which went for the Democratic
candidates on the 18th of October will go for Grant
and Colfax on the Sd of November
Again: In Indiana Kentuckians went across the
Ohio by regiments to help send Democratic Leg
stature to indianapolis and Democratic members
to Congress. Not Corn Cracker will vote as a
Hoosier in November, because there's nothing to be
gained by it. That alone will make huge change
in Indianas majority.
Again: In Pennsylvania, the fraudulent natural
ization went far beyond all previous Democratic
villainies in the way of election frauds The ar
rests and prosecutions already begun, and more to
be instituted, will shut out from the November
election great many of these.
And finally, it remains for us to bring out every
voter in every election precinct and roll up a ma
jority from our valleys and hills of 10000 for the
old loyalty and for Grant, who has made it possible
for that loyalty to live in East Tennessee.

RebeIIIOus Spirit Of virginia.

Last week there a trade convention at Nor
folk, Virginia, which was numerously attended by
delegations from a number Of the Southern States.
At Petersburg free lunch was given to the dele
gates. Toasts were drank and speeches made
Enough liquor had been used 20 loose the tongues of
some Of the speakers, and large number of those
present INDUCED in the free expression of their SEN
timents relative to the past present and future of
our country.
jeremiah w. Capp, Of Memphis late member
Of the q. S. Congress, formerly a Virginian, COM
menced TRADE of abuse of Northern men, by
using the word gentlemen, saying that be did not
now say feliow.citizens," as that was word of
such dubious meaning that he never used it now.
He eulogized Virginia for her "noble stand 4" du-
ring the war, and praised her stubborn silence in
refusing to take part in the councils of the nation
under the "tyranncal reconstruction laws of Con-
gress."
A Mr.. McRea, now citizen of Memphis, we be-
lieve and also formerly citizen Of Virginia, being
called upon, proceeded in strain more remarkable
for its reasonable character than for any hibtion
of reason or common sense. He spoke of Virginia
as the mother of Presidents, when it was honor
able to be President" Her courage he said as ex-
hbted in her present stubborn 81 ence, was more to
be admired and more subp a in its character than
that exhibited by her at tie mouth of her thousand
brazen cannons during the rebellion, and predicted
that the day not far distant when she could say
to her enemies sic seD,per tyraaais. These senti-
ments Justify cheeyed by the large crowd pres
ent, which reminded one Of the well known ayell7
so familiar TO the " boys in blue
At Norfolk, after the convention was organized,
this man Clapp was again called upon, and opened
his speech by abiding to the clark forebodugs for
he future Of the country, as foreshadowed by the
news being flashed over the wires from the late cleo
tons in Pennsyvanis, Ohio and Indiana" Such
sentiments as the above were relished hugely by
majority Of the convention and there is no use to
disguise the fact that political influences entered
largely into the spirit Of this movement. Much
stress was laid by almost every speaker upon what
they chose to term the commercial independence Of
the South. The infamous political conventions
which assembled at different points throughout the
South previous 10 the war, under the garb of Com
meroial Conventions" one of which assembled at
Knoxville was spoken Of as boing held f6r the same
purpose and to secure the same object Is this one
at Norfolk
II is due to the Knoxville delegation, majority
Of whom were rebels to say that they condemned
in unmeasured terms the disposition TO bring poll
tics into the convention, which they viewed as being
for the commercial interests Of our section, and not
the protext for making reasonable hsrangues
against the government and eulogizing the South
ern rebellion.

Then and Now.

Our rebel Democratic contemporary down street
is conducted in part by officer of colored troops
who did his duty creditably in point of zeal and
earnestness towards destroying Hoods army before
Nashville on those two memorable winter days
about four years ago. His present experience, com
bined with that of those times, must be pleasing to
his philosOphic and contemplative mind Like the
great st Simon, he aims to unite in his own per-
son all possible experiences of human life-to ira
verse the whole range from good to evil-to enact
all characters from patriot to traitor He has been
pretty successful SO far and he is now in the midst
Of one Of his greatest successes for we must recol-
lect that human life doesn't consist wholly of &C
lions nor wholly of opinions. Far from it. One Of
It's main parts is emotions and feelings. 1t is in
these that our allexperencng friend is getting
new experiences. On those winter days before
Nashville he cherished the great thoughts and the
high sentiments of patriot soldier battling to save
his country Of late he harbors the hatred of rebel
towards that very country. Then his associations
were with the excellent of the land now with For
rest I'D the Ku Klux. Then be was ennobled by
victory on the side of the best cause the world ever
knew now he is covered with the rage, the shame,
the misery, the degradation ef an overthrow in the
worst and meanest cause to which the meanest and
worst of men ever put their hands.
Such opposite poles of experience unquestiorably
round out mans inner life and give it greater
completeness. But Whether this completeness be
worth the price of dishonor, Disgrace and defeat,
must be left to the judgment Of him that is most
concerned

Spanish Progress Again.

a few days ago we made mention of the
prompt action of the Spanish Provisional
Government for the purpose of abolishing
slavery everywhere under the Spanish flag.
That was an act of justice on the part of
the nation-an act to put a stop to national
wrong doing towards others.
But the Spanish people has itself been
long crushed under the triple tyranny of
crown, the nobility and the Jesuits. Of
these three, the Jesuits were far the worst.
The new Government, within the first days
of its existence, destroyed the Order of the
Jesuits, and took its property and enormous
revenues for the nation. As to the crown,
there is nothing yet definitely decided upon
beyond the driving of the present reigning
family off the thoone it has so long dis
gracod and defled. The nobility do not
seem to have yet been attacked, either in
the existence or the privileges of their or
der. 1t remains to be seen whether there
is the same clear sightedness and frmness
in the incoming reformed Spanish Cortez
as were shown by the Startling, the nation
al Legislature of Norway, when they aboI-
ished, in 1921, all nobility and all aristo-
cratic privileges of every name and nature.
We confess to some fear that the olive
groves and purple seas Of the Iberian Pen
insular do not breed up a race of men that
know their rights, and knowing dare
maintain, 50 we'll as the hardy men reared
among the sOmbre Pine forests and on the
dark and stormy waters of the Scandinavia
an Peninsula
Yet, however this may turn out the
Spanish patriots have had the good sense
to address themselves to many matters Of
practical Importance that make for the ma
tons welfare and the permanence of that
welfare. Foremost among such measures
We rate the opening of public free schools
for the education of all, the high and the
low, the rich and the poor.
Yes these two things-tho destruction
of the order of Jesuits, and the establishing
of a system of popular education-aro of
themselves a gain, that amply repays the
nation for all the fierce struggle, actual and
possible, Of great revolution.

Reading for Farmers.


There are, nowadays, a good many pc
riodicals for farmers, stock breeders, or
chardists, and gardeners. Some of these are
weekly, some monthly; some are folio, some
quarto, and a few are octave magazines in.
stead of being in newspaper form. Among
these last-the magazines, as we may cal
them-is a new one The american Far
mer'S Magazine, published monthly in Gin
cinnati at s1.50 year, by Charles S. Bur
nett. To clubs of four or more, it is sent al
the rate of S1.25 year We have seen the
first five numbers and must say for it, that
so far it is wholly satisfactory in all re-
spects. The editors work is well done the
original articles being clearly from sensible
practical men, and the selections made with
taste and judgment. The publisher is tax
ing special pains to get circulation in Ten
nesseo; and to that end, we would suggest
special attention to the wants of Tennessee
farmers. Information, directions, and ad-
vice which are just right for the weather,
the seasons, the climate, and the products
of the latitude of indianapolis or of Detroit,
are quite wide of sulting the latitude OF
Nashville or of Huntsville We should be
very glad to see this or some other periodi-
cal make strong department Of gardening
and fruit growing for the region lying south
of Kentucky.
Besides papers and magazines devoted to
farming and gardening in general, there
are some that occupy themselves with spe-
cial fields. One of the few such, is TIE
american Entomol0giSt, published monthly
at St Louis, at 81 year, by R. P. StudIey
& Co. Its editors are Benjamin D, Walsh,
State EntOmologist of Illinois, and c. v.
Riley, State Entomologist of Missouri.
The ERt0mol0gist tells about all sorts of
insects found in all parts of the United
States among all kinds of field-crops, or
chards, fruit-yards gardens, vineyards, &c.
1t describes themselves, their habits and
ways and informs the former how to des-
troy them, or how to prevent their ravages.
Now, consider the vast damage yearly
done by the weevil, the fly, the curculio,
the applcmOth, the canker-worm, the Col
orado potato-bug, the various garden bugs
and becths and then think how small an
investment dollar is, for something that
will do even little towards helping to save
you from such ruinous losses.
There is another class of men and women,
who ought by all means to take this Amert-
can Eat0m0l0gist; we mean teachers in
schools of every grade, from the little sub
district up to seminary and college. For
them, nothing is a more recreative stimu-
lus; or more health giving and fascinat-
ing pursuit that the natural history of in
sects, pursued practically in garden, field,
orchard, and forest. Teachers take the
EHt0m0lOgjSt!

How Trees Grow in East tennessee.

Sometimes little facts make a deeper impression
on the memory and the Imagination than larger
and more important statements given in abstract
form. Perhaps this viii prove to be such fact
On the farm of Mr. Peter Ecke, in Jefferson coun-
ty, about seven miles east of cambridge, there
stands catapa tree on the top of knoll, close to
the dwelling It Il one of the noblest we ever saw.
The trunk lacks little Of being three feet through,
and the spread and mass of the top is something
really magnificent. A brother of Peter, who had
been away sixteen years, told that when he left
home the tree was not over five or six inches in d.
ameter. This is surely a remarkable growth for SO
short a time
Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1868-10-28
Go TO the Polls,
short a time

Only few days now remain for work,
previous to the election. We would take
this occasion to urge upon every Republi-
can voter the importance Of going to the
polls. Remember the THIRD DAY OF Nc
TENDER, and resolve to give one more day
to your country. No sane man doubts the
result Of the election, yet it is highly i'm
portant that General Grant should be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority Nothing
else will be so effective in producing a per-
manent peace. Quiet and peace are what
we want, and the election of Grant and Col
fax is what will bring this about. Such
highly important issues will certainly prove
an incentive to action. Then, let every
voter who sees this resolve to 90 to the polls
and vote early. Let him call upon his luke
warm neighbor and urge upon him the i'm
portance of doing his duty on this occasion.
We have said that it is highly important
that Grant and Colfax should be elected by
a large majority, that there may be no CUES
ton among the disafecred as to the inten-
ton of the friends Of the Government to
stand united in the future as they have in
the past, This is especially 50 in Tennes-
see. Any falling off Of our vote will be in
terpreted as a backing down from our prin-
ciples, and will be used against us in COM
ing elections. Let US then vote our full
strength, and show the Rebel Kuklux-De-
mOcracy of Tennessee that we are still
armed and equipped for the defense of our
principles, and that in establishing reign
of terror in Tennessee they will meet with
formidable opposition.
There is no reason why the majority for
Grant and Colfax in East Tennessee should
not'be larger than the majority for Governor
Brownlow last summer. Hundreds of vo-
ters who were frightened into the support
of Etheridge by the cry of negro equality,
are now for General Grant 1t only wants
a few days of energetic, systematic effort to
accomplish such a result. If every man
who desires the election Of General Grant,
will only go to the polls and so deposit his
WV UlIO IVOpuDIlCdN ultJOIlG) III EdSG 1Cu-
ncssee will be larger than it has ever before
been. But few days now remain. and all
should 60 to work
Let our colored friends be sure to 90 to
the polls. This will be their first vote in q !
Presidential contest. Let them show to
the world that they appreciate the high
privileges conferred upon them as Ameri- |
can citizens, by going to the polls and de-
posting their votes for Grant and COlfax. !
"a long pull, a strong pull, and pull all |
together" and victory will again crown
our efforts, and peace will reign supreme
throughout the land. The implements of
war will then give way to implements of
peace, order will take the place of confu-
sion, confidence will be restored, and our
nation will move on to that degree of pros
perity so lavishly guaranteed by nature
The ballot-box is much more potent TO Sc
cure all this than the cartridge box, and let
us show that we so regard it by turningout, |
every one Of us, and going to the polls on
the Sd day Of November. Remember the
day
