In ourlaas letter on Qlis6y, We promised
the public that we would say no more, unless
he s6ollld give uityGaes 10 sosls gsarng lis that
called for reputation. This he has dowblg done;
and hsnee, this reioinder. In his last emas-
eulAted saort, he tells us that zoe declaTsd Aim
a great rebel during he ivar Now every word
of this Is simply and utterly fake. We said
no such thing, as our articles will infallibly
prove. We asked these questions " Where
were yon during the rebellion We're you
not ia Georgia, playing the reosl, and pray
ing for JEFF Davis and the Southern Confed-
eSscy7 Were you not rebel All through the
war, and aler Il eloaed, did you not ratnrn
70 East Tennessee, and join the Methodist
Episcopal Church, from shesr policy and hg-
peeraey alone y These are plain and simple
qusrsions, ONLY, and no charge Of any kind is
made. Hence, olisby, Jour stasement is rii-
jillf falsss Again, no says that we declared
that he has y turned rebel sincs hs war 7"
This, also, Ia unmistakably fake Here is
What We did say: q You may havo been
Uaion once, but that you are rebel NON We
have GO doubt When God and the Govern
msnt freed your negroes your last spark Of
loyalty took ils everlasting flight; and you
are now q soufed old rebel, mourning for the
lost eause.p This Il, ttr6athp, What We did
say, and yet there 4 nothing said about your
having turned rebel siscs ls war. This Is
Abskood No. a. The grand HEmaneipation
Proeiamatiou' OF Presldent Lincoln took ef-
feef January fst, 1853, not siaes but during
ne war. Yes, The darkest hourof tho rebel
