EXCITED STATE OF AFFAIRS IN TENNEssEE.-A Wash.
ington dispatch of the Sd says the condition of affairs
in Tennessee has excited much attention there during
the last few days. The President is understood to
have said that if United States troops sent there
they will be under orders to keep the peace and not
the white people. The Republicans say they mean to
carry the State for Grant if costs half million of
money and ten thousand troops. Gen. Thomas is in
active correspondence with the War Department on
the subject. he says the people are ripe for rev.
olution.

The Republican party as well as We are interested

clear to every thinking man. that dispersion Of polt

The election of Democratic Executive and majority

check those extreme measures which have been de-

The result would most certainly lead to that peace

OF To-day We insert in our paper an ad-

with joy by many of our readers. The yearly

contemplating this important subject a few
plain questions naturally present themselves

The Heated Term.

August is invariably an unhealthy month,
and the dog-days are universally quoted as an
unhealthy season. Diseases more frequently
terminate fatally at this time than at any other,
owing to the relaxation of the system. This
is, therefore, the proper time to use remedy
that will recuperate the strength and fortlfy
the system against the attacks of disease. Elk.

STOMACH BITTERS is the best medicine
used to accomplish this desirable object. BY
its use the appetite is increased, digestion pro-
NOTED, all feelings of depression removed, and
the vital functions restored The afflicted should
avoid all pernicious alcoholic preparations
purporting to be tonics and restorasives, as
they only afford temporary exhilaratioD, and
eventually entail dangerous, if not fatal, re-
suits. This is never the case with HOSTEL

arising from an impurity of the blood. They

The Nashville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphed
the following to that paper on the
3rd inst:
Last Thursday night the Ku-
Klux Democracy in Lincoln Coun-
ty, six miles from Fayetteville,
took discharged colored soldier
named Richard Moore, and whip
ped him until life was nearly ex-
tinct. His sole offence was that
he had been a Federal soldier.
There is more truth in the state
ment than usually characterizes
the Gazette articles. Richard
Moore scos whipped by some un-
known persons, though not unmer-
cifully, and not for being q FEEDER
al soldier, for be never was one,
but for conduct that would have
brought the same or worse punish
ment to a white man. While a slave
Dick was recognized as a bad ne
gro. Since emancipation, he has
gone "trom bad to worse" adding
insult and abuse to his other faults.
and obtrusively boasting that emo
id white man should run over
him." he chad been at the bottom,
but was now top rail" etc. No
notice was taken of his course,
until his outrages eliminated in a
wanton defamation of the charac-
ter Of respectable white lady.
Then they "went for him."
