'DEAR GEsERAL--I now have the pleasure

dressed you on the 2lst Of June, 1864, when
you were commanding In Kentucky, subject
to my orders
"The instructions contained in that letter
were commands TO you, binding on you un-
der the Articles of War, and for which you
were no more responsible than for the exc
cution Of any other order. 4 alone am res
poaabte, and have no fear but my orders
were right and appropriate.
81 hear the people OF Kentucky blame you
for yonr acts under my orders. II 30, they
are very foolish, for some Of them should be
thankful that you were too lenient.
~ recall with pleasure your carly efforts
in the cause Of our country in 1861. You
were one of the first Kentucs ions TO take up

The Lexington MISSY Advertiser proposes
the establishment Of spinning and carding
factory in that place at a cost Of $500. 1t
hol Is Il to be great folly to wait until $50, 900
or 81 600 can be got TO commence with,
and adds:
"a factory costing the insignificant
amount We have named) can card all tho
wool in the county, make Lowe.ls aud do
mestics to supply three times our population,
and with a gin attached could gin all tho
gleanings of the great staple at figure that
would immediately supersede horse power

To which the New Orleans Pitwms adds;

two ago were trying 70 saTt factory and
stopped short because the sum Of 500, 900
could not be raised, we told them 10 have

Correspondence of the Liberal Christian I
The vulgarity OF Loud Talking and
Laughing.

see in your excellent paper o little para
graph on good manners, In which splitting
and loungiug are described as proof of u
mi.barbarous state OF society, and must
beg leave 10 note another peculiarly of our
social manners, equally Indicative Of low
state OF ofcivilzation, allude TO loud talking
and screecling laughter. This is 30 peculiar
to Americans that they are known by II in
Europe, and, as well bred people, they never
tolerate IL. Even in the most social circles
II Is considered mark of ill-breeding be-
longing only to the lowest class.
Aside from this conventional protest
against, IL there Is a reguhs objection 10 It, la
the injury 1t does to the vocal organs
Talking through an evening, at the top of tho
voice, is very painful and fatiguing, and yet
the noise made by the whole company is so
great that no one can be heard who speaks
low, or in a natural tone. Many throats
are made sore and many heads are made to
ache by this unnecessary noise, and persons sub
ject to bronchitis are obliged 10 avoid it ell
tirely.
In all European society the voices are
kept lower than usual in large parties, aud
general hum prevails, in which every per-
son Is easily heard by those he addresses
The loadness of Americans is very marked,
and produces disgust and indignation when
1t breaks the stiffness of picture galleries and
other public places, where nothing but whis-
pers are allo~ed. When loud voice Is
heard from an American traveller, every ono
is startled and looks round to see whence II
comes, and the comments on this breach Of
good manneIs are very severe.

cultivated Americans to a gentleman in Lon
don, who could have done much for their
amusement, and procured their admission to
many private galleries paintings aud sculp-
ture; but after one experience Of their voci-
ferating, in public exhibition, he woHld
not again expose himself to the pain and the
shame they then caused him. He wrote to
me TO excuse himself for not having done
more for my friends, by saying that their
loud talking made them not presentable in
refined society, and not bearable in public
places. lie added that he had made dinner
party for them, Of Americans only, and
they laughed aud talked 30 loud that ho
was afraid the police would come in ard see
what the row was.

There are probably more than 10000
white men in Tennessee who cannot vote.-
The significance of this fact is heightened
by the general admission OF the blacks 10
the exercise of the right Of franchise. So,
between the wide exclusion Of the whites
and the universal enfranchisement OF the
blacks, Tennessee is political Pandemoni-
um; and, until the suffrage is SO regulated that
all men who are not excluded by the recon-
struction acts of Congress, are admitted to
the enjoyment Of all their political rights, We
shall have no hope of cordial and enduring
peace. 1t may as well be plainly stated here
as vaguely limited at, that the Republican
party of the North has never, SO far as we
know, contemplated the permanency OF any
arrangement like that which now afflicts
Tennessee; that it has never intended to jus
tify its enemies in their accusation that II
might tyrannize over and oppress the whites;
and that if the Southern Republicans,
black aud white, think the support OF the
North worth winning, they must put their
legislation on some other basis than that Of
self-seeking and revenge. The time for dis
franchisement of any but classes embracing
few individuals, and those confessedly dis
loyal and dangerous, has gone by. The
hateful passions engendercd by the war are
dying out. The country Is addressing itself
10 the problem Of peace and We believe that
all men who have not deep personal animos-
tiles to crafty, or some unworthy personal
motive to serve, or who are not insane with
rage aud, hate, are willing TO draw sponge
over the past and commence anew, provided
that both freedom and justice can be made
the basis of future endeavor. We believe
that when we say this, we speak for nine
tenths of the Republicans of the Northwest.
Of their devotion to the cause of their party
and the eountry, there can no doubt--N y.

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1868-01-10

Every honest patriot must be tired
of the northern clamor for protection
to American citizens abroad, at a time
when ten millions of American citi-
zens, at home, are groaning under a
dcspotism unsurpassed, for lawlesness
and insulting cruelty, by anything
of the kind on record. 1t is not SYM
pathy for England that suggests these
remaks, but the hypocritcal pretense
of love of justic upon which that
clamor is based. A naturalized citi-
zen may go abroad and violate the
laws of the country in which he is
sojourning, but must not be punish
ed because he is an Am eican citizen.
A Southern man, though native cit
izen, who stays at homo, violating no
law of his country, is insulted, des
poiled and trampled upon just be-
cause he is native, but, unluckily,
was not born in the frigid zone Of
Puritanism, nor idoctrinated in that
Radicalism which seeks to uproot the
the very foundations of Christianity,
morality and civil liberty.
