The BOYS travelled OH TO ST. Louis on foot; but Ind

Cheek.

A Tennessee telegram, dated August Sd,
says:
Thirteen General officers of the late Con-
federacy are in Convention to-day, to con-
slider the ways and means of reconcilng DO
litical troubles in Tennessee"
Thirteen General officers of the late Con
federacy" kindly consent to forget the fact
of their failure to destroy the government
which had always protected them, and vol
unteer to give the aid of their gigantic in
tellects and patriotic hearts in reconciling
political troubles" which, but for their damn
able treachery, would have never existed
"1hirteen General officers of the late Con-
federacy," foiled in their scheme of treason,
now kindly volunteer to dictate to the Gov
eminent they have betrayed, the people they
have misled and ruined, the terms upon
which they will consent to do that which
they are compelled to do in any case! They
are not sorry, these noble thirteen General
officers of the late Confederacy," that by
their own treason they occasioned these "po-
litical troubles"- indeed they acknowledge
that they lament their failure, but as things
are going so heavily against them, and they
no longer receive the favors and offices with
out which their noble and chivalrous hearts
are disconsolate, they kindly consent to
"consider the ways and means of reconciling
political troubles in Tennessee" and to give
the benighted people of that State the glo-
rious result, which must infallibly proceed
from such a communion of pure hearts
stupendous intellects and patriotic souls.
With such prospect before them, with such
a chance of once more seeing these noble
& thirteen General officers" emerge from the
cloud which has so long obscured their
brightness, and deprived the world of thir-
teen stars of "purest ray serene" that ever
shone in that constellation of statesmen and
patriots of which JEFF. Davis, Yancey and
Toombs were the brightest orn aments, we
do not see how the people of Tennessee can
fail to receive these admirable men with
heartfelt gratitude, or fail to obey the coun-
sci proceeding from so pure source. Alas
for North Carolina she has no thirteen

The Militia Bill.

This is no time for timid men. The Re-
publicans of North Carolina must assert
their manhood or they must miserably per-
ish. The clouds are gathering aronnd us
thick and fast The incipient mutterings
of the coming tempest are already upon us.
Rebellion creeps from its secret hiding pla-
ces and stalks in the open light of day
Traitors are looking proud defiance, and
they rejoice, thinking that their day of
vengeance at last draws nigh. A party
pledged to rule or ruin, inspired by the as
dred thousand conscripts and turned out
their wives and children to begcary and ru-
in, headed by the Judas in the presidential
chair, have declared for war; And do Re
publicans hesitate and falter2 Do they re-
main careless and inactive while their enc
mics come into their councils and mark them
out for death or degradation Forbid it,
Almighty Cod What sufferings have the
Union Republicans of the South not en-
dured9 How long has the "hideous
mark been fixed upon them; how long
have they listened to the taunt and the jeer
how long have they seen the silent finger
of scorn pointed at those whom they hold
dearest on earth And do these men talk
of Cancellation Do they fear to offend or
exasperate those who are conspiring to con-
sign them and their offspring to an infamy
which is worse than death
The times are desperately earnest. 1t is a
a vain delusion to suppose that the battle
yell of rebellion is silenced forever The
men who led the South in that contest have
reached the last pitch of desperation. The
visions of future glory which they once
thin air. They are ruined in fortune and
ruined in hope. But all is not lost. There
still remains
The unconquerable will, eternal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield.
Twice have they been ANONYMOUSLY defeat
ed. First, they were swept like chaff before
the armies of the Union, and second time
they have succumbed to their former slaves
and to that class of their own race whom
they always despised, and whom they muir.
dered to secure themselves in their ill gotten
possessions. The passions of hell are rank
ling in their hearts. They are grimly wait
ing for the opportunity to stab once more
at the life of the nation and of its friends.
Their hopes revive, and they can no longer
suppress their exultation at the near pros
pect of executing their revenge. We speak
plain truth when we say that they are Or
ganizing and arming. In Louisiana and
other States, under the pretext of forming
political organizations, they are eniisting in
regiments under their old colonies and Cap
tains. They have the military skill, the
arms and the courage to dare and dare
again. Ex-Governor Worth still proclaims
himself Governor of North Carolina, and

Rebels at Work.

We make the following extract from a
letter to Gov. Holden, from Madison Coun-
ty, dated July %, 1868:
"From the disordered condition of va
rious localities, q speak of this county ony)
it certainly calls for the speedy organization
of the militia. Union men, or men of Re-
publican principles who are living in or on
the verge of these localities, are in great dam
ger; frequently insulted, threatened with
murder, knocked from their horses with
stones, letters sent to them to leave in a Iimi-
ted time upon the penalty Of death, graves
dug in their fields, and empty collins placed
by them, and everything that the devil can
suggest. they are at work with what is calcu-
latel to intimidate. There are now men
from their homes, respectable men to my
knowledge, who are fearful to stay at home;
and without some speedy protection, these
men are bound to knock under to their no
tions or leave the country.
The mass of the people in my section oil
the county are ignorant of the intentions OF
these rebels. They have run several black
men out of this portion of the
county. Therefore, your Excclency is III

beginning. ! cannot crouch to rebels, and

Let us have Peace.-Gen. Grant.

Doolittle of Wisconsin has turned himself
into recruiting Sergeant and proposes to
organize a political army for the destruction
of Grant and Colfax which gangof irwin
cibles, however, as Grant has a peculiar way
oftreating armies opposed to him, we do not
think will prove very formidable. By a
sort of prophetic Typographical error, he says.
instead of the "Great Democratic Corps"

hardly, however, call this an error, for after
the November elections the hideous abortion
called the Democratic party will have ceased
to exist and will indeed be corpse, and a
very disagreeabe corpse at that

are many small fry from the same distln-
auished service who do their small best to
teach her that her sole hope is conferred in
them. But thirteen General officers" we
cannot boast Of The fact is alarming, and
people will undoubtedly stand aghast at a
want they have not before been aware of !;
but they can comfort themselves with the
reflection that they can be had "cheap for

overplus will, without doubt, assist us in our

The Question at Issue.

We clip from our exchanges the following
extracts to show the diabolical purposes of
the enemies of the government. If they fail
to convince our Republican friends that
these men mean war, they would not be-
lieve though one rose from the dead.
In the first place, Ex-Governor Worth
claims in his protest to be at present the
lawful Governor of North Carolina, thus ut
terly ignoring and denying any legitimate
authority in the present State government.
P c. Gaillard, who continues to write
himself Mayor of Charleston, follows suit in
this wise: .
