The above statement from Col. Rogers
shows a much smaller contribution from
our people than we had right to expect.
Taking into consideration the object for
which the entertainments were given, the
large crowd that was in town and the beau-e
tiful weather, we confidently expected the
College to realze at least Five Hundred
Dollars from the entertainments.

The people in primary assemblies
should forthwith, in advance OF the is
suance of bonds to feed, clo.he and equip
Brownlow's militia, notify the world. that
they will not be paid.-NashriHe Banner
Precisely. That is the voice and the
determination of the disfranchised tax
payers of Tennessee, aud it should be
spoken out. The carpet-baggers and
scallawsgs cannot pay such bonds, ana
the unrepresented tax. payers will not.
They are abselved from all legal and
moral obligations to support govern
ment which tramples down the Constitu'
ton. Reputation of such a debt will
be badge of honor. There is no need
of raising militia to preserve the
peace of the State. The only reason
the scallawag legislators are anxious to
do it is to excuse raising money to steal.
They will thus have fine chance, If the
money can be raised, and they want a
big grab in the short time which remains
to them. But the buyer of the bonds at
any price will come out at the little end
of the horn.

Tennessee.

There is nothing in the news from
Tennessee that looks like Cancellation on
the part of its Radical party. We say
ia Radical party, for that organization
in Tennessee, though fully up with the
Jacobin measures of Congress, is pecu-
liar Radical party, and needs to be
seen"
Bitter as are their internal dissensions
in their hatred and fear Of everything like
conservatism, the State Convention stops
TO call on the Legislature to overrun the
State With negro militia, and to withhold
the ballot from its best and purest oiti-
zens.
The Confederate Generals are now all
at home. he peace-makers have nothing
more to say, and it now remains for the
dominant party to FIRE the opening gun
of the prospective revolution. The NUT
terings of the storm are heard, but good
people are praying that it may pass away
ere its strength is concentrated, There
may yet be hope.
1t is not too late for the Legislature Of
Tennessee to avert the threatened trou-
bles. A liberal spirit in such a moment
would atone for all the mistakes Of the
past, and would not only insure peace,
but would give to that body name il
cannot otherwise win or wear. They
must know that the Ku-Klux outrages
which are put up as an excuse for the
militia, whether real or pretended, are
butthe legitimate offspring Of the hideous
policy with which the State has so long
been cursed, and that the removal Of one
must necessarily bring the other 10 an
end.
The enfrauchisement Of the whites in
Tennessee you'd reuo7e al caHses Of
| difference now existing, az the only pol.
icy Of the conservatives is liberty and
equality for the white man, and the only
object Of the Radicals is TO keep the so
called rebels from the ballot-box. The
Radical policy is selfish and degrading
as well TO the oppressor as 10 the op-
dressed. The question Of suffrage aside,
all parties coais ante on the best men
for Representatives and rulers, and At
least within the State there would b
nothingto prevent the utmost harmony

The pernisr Resort.

Our proposition to disarm the dragon,
Radicalism, by drawing the monster
teeth, in the reputation of any further
issuance of State bonds TO sustain its
partisan militia, has struck another chord
in the popular heart, and meets almost
universal approval. We print elsewhere
in this issus very sensible communica-
ton from q rejecting and sagacious
citizen, largely engaged in mercantile
enterprise, which indorses our position
on this defensive theory with heartiness
and zeal.
In spite of all the efforts Of good men
to preserve the peace; the pledges of
Confederate soldiers; the memorials of
citizens of all classes; the petitions of
Radicals, black and white, 1t is evidently
the determination Of the Radical legis
latu-e to call, or authorize call of par
tisan militia. When this is done, il can
be considered in no other light than a
declarat on of war At all events it will
engender a civil war if not conflict of
races. The support of this militia, in
volving all these calsmities, will inozease
the already trebled snd Esinsss taxation
of the people. In anticipation Of all
these troubles with the old, old story ="
Of taxa ion without representation, ecu
pied with the Infamous proposition to
quarter the militia upon the inhabitants
Of certain counties, and saddle the ex-
peDse thereof upon said counties, it will
be we'll TO warn the de fdcfe government
that from and alser the calling out OF
such militia the taxpayers will not agree
10 pay another new bond, thss lettering
capitalists from investing, and thus
effec ually stopping the bsyonet or
military wheel Of the so-called Gov
ernment Our correspondent advises
the people in their primary meet
ings, to declare by resolution or other
wise, that they will in no manner thai
theY eau pescessly avoid, recognize
such bonds Is a part Of The debt Of the
State. The advice is timely, pertinent
and euinenlly wise, and We hope will be
universally adopted. II is at least oEs

done TO secure peace, Il is declared that
the white people shall not be enfran-

From letter published by Mr. fi'on,
il seems he pretends to have discovered
Ku Klux on railroad train near Athens
Ala. He says they came on the tram In
curing for Governor Brownlow. ms
is a plain radical trick to prove the ex'
istence of such mythical order Men
with halt sense, who intended
the capture of Brownlow, would
have first seen him go on the train, ana
have no need to inquire about It, and
thus put him on his guard. The inquiry
was a Radical trick, which we are told
has been already avowed. IL is trans
parent and himsy. The Ku'Klux' al
such thing exists, have always been
after rascals, and that is the only cir
cumstance to induce a conclusion that
Fitch is right in supposing these men to
have been anything but Brownlow's
friends.

on the Walnut street wharf An officer
who went to his assistance was imms-

in the stomach, and had his nose bitten
off, Another officer soon after came
up and drew revolver on the roughs.
They attempted to take it from him, and
in doing SO, wrenched the barrel of the
stock The party then escaped. No ar
rests were made. The officer who was
stabbed will probably die.
