NASHVILLE.
Proclamation of Gov. BPOWnlOW-
Outrages Committed on Loyal CitI-
zens-Order for the Raising or
Troops.

NASHVILLE, Septem Der 16.-The
Banner received by telegraph from
Knoxville to-day a proclama tion
from Governor Brownlow, and issued
it in extra form The proclamation
declares there are armed bands of
conspirators against the State, who
have been committing and continue
to commit Outrages upon the defeD Sc
less and inoffensive loyal citizens. He
recites the act of the Legislature,
giving him power to call out the mi
lltia, and says:
pursuance Of this act. [ call upon
the good, loyal and pa triotic people,
white and colored, OF every county in
the State, to proceed without delay,
and raise companies of able bodied
men. and report the same to me at
Nashville. Whether any of the COM
panies, white or colored, so organized, q,
will be actually called into the field,
will depend entirely upon the conduct
of the people themselves, in the sew
eral counties. L earnestly hope that
there will be no occasion to call out
these troops, but that the efforts of the
citizens to preserve and maintain the
peace will succeed, and thus Obviate
the necessity of this stern resort; but
if, unhappily, better counsels do not
prevail, and order is not restored,
and / am compelled to put down
armed marauders by force, | propose to
meet them with such numbers and in
such manner as the exigency shall de-
mand, whatever may be the cOnse-
sequences. l will not be misled
from the discharge of my duty herein
by threats of violence from retel
speakers or rebel newspapers, nor by
any other means of intimidation.
The Governor adds that he prefers
that these troops shall be raised in
East Tennessee, and therefore does
not limit the number of companies i n
any county. In reference to the
promise of Federal troops to keep the
peace, he says: SHOULD the Depart
ment Commander be furnished with
sufficient force to keep order, / will
cheerfully cooperate With him, and
In that event the State guards may
not be called into service.

JEALOUSY of the negro, aud dread
of unsuccessful competition with him,
must have worried ALBERT PIKE
very much. In his valedictory. on
withdrawing from the Memphis Ap-
peal, he says:
We shall not speak upon stand or
platform where a negro sits swelling
in the bloom of his majestic self
importance, expecting his speech to
be reported in the Avalanche and be
declared an orator superior TO many
OF another color.

Reports brought to this post at noon
to-day, state that party of twenty
FIVE Indians ran off twenty mules
from CLARK & Cobay, contractors.
within half mile of Pond City, and
four miles west of here. They were
pursued by the owners and citizens.
but not retaken. About 12 O'Clock
the Indians were seen making for 5he
Quartermaster' herd, half a mile
from this post. but turned back when
they discovered the herd had been
driven into the corroll. At 2 P. NJ. a
citizen came in reporting that a band
of 100 Indians were in sight of Pond
City, aud had just stampeded l 200
head from the herd, and $500 head
of cattle, mules and horses, which
passed here yesterday en- route for
California. This herd belonged to
about thirty FIVE Texans, who have
their families with them.
Captain Carpenter, with a company
of the 10th United States Col0red
Cavalry, arrived from Fort Hays this
afternoon, and was Immediately sent
in pursuit of the Indians taxing
Teas herd, and late report states
that all were reeaptured after a chase
of fifteen miles.
The billiard match for the cham
pionship of America and a stake of
81 900. of 1900 points, between Jo-
seph Dion, of Montreal, and John
McDevitt, of Chicago, was played to-
night at Library Hall The game was
closed at S:15. McDevitt in the ninth
running made the extraordinary run
of 1852. closing the game in his favor
before 10 o'clock. The score stood
at the close-McDevitt, 1902; Dion,
40S.
The Hall was densely crowded,
and great enthusiasm prevailed, but
no i'll feeling or disorder was mani
tested.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The registra-
ton of voters for the forthcoming
Parliamentary elections, which will
commence about the 18th of Novem-
ber next, is beipg prosecuted with
great diligence throughout the Brit
ish Isles. At many places women
formally demanded that their names
be placed on the lists of voters, on the
ground that they possessed the prop
erty qualifications prescribed by the
reform bill, and the legal aspects of
the question, as we'll as the extent OF
the movement, have excited much
public interest on the subject
Over 5000 women claimed the right I
to be registered in Manchester alone,
and their demands were urged in an
able speech before the registering
officials, by Miss Lydia Brecker.
After argument on both sides, the
claim was disavowed. Similar pro-
ceedings took place in other towns,
and in some cases the question has
finally been brought before the
Jndges of Westminster. They over
ruled the application of the women
to be registered as voters, on the
ground that there was an amendment
to the Reform Bill, which was pro
posed in the House of Commons by
Mr.. Mills, substituting the word per-
son for man. By this action the
House clearly indicated the inten
J and purpose Of the billin this respect
