Col. Wisdom, of the Jackson Tribune,
in speaking of the Milan Outrages: \
intelligent friend, writing us from Hum
boldt, fully confirms the account given
by the Memphis APPEAL of the Milan
4" flare up" which is published elsewhere
in the Tribune. 1t grew out Of Illicit dis
tillatiOn. and was a piece of Radical devil
try from beginning TO end. In Humboldt
and Milan, the X. X. are not even charged
with it. The men who violated the rev
emu laws and supposed hat loyalty
would be taken in payment of the Gov
eminent tax were the skull-bone desper-
ADDE'S, a band of rascals not TO be beaten
in this State. VIII they be punished, or
ven arrested, and will the Radical press
correct its columns of lies already written
in reference to this bold and infamous
transaction
The Jackson Tribune of Saturday
says: On Monday last, about 9 O'Clock a.
m, twelve "boys in blue" passed
through this place en- route for COrinth,
Miss 1AtN WIN litlCI NndLEC VI a TT
geant, and said they were leaving the mi
litia camps at Humboldt. These gentle
men were not endowed with q warlike
spirit, but were willing, if not to beat
their swords into ploughshares, to swap
them off for greenbacks. They offered
their muskets at low figures for the cash.
Failing to get on the Mobile train, which
pushed out as they appeared at the depot,
and anticipating pursuit, the gallant he
roaC frYdnaA on 10 tho naxf GfnrfOg fGhaU
were bound for East Tennessee, and said
if their money gave out they would force
their way on the next train at the point of
the bayonet. This honorable and chival-
rous resolve Will doubtless be put into ex
ecutiOn.
-Rumors were rife on the streets yes
terday tina a tremendous and bloody riot
had occurred on Thursday night at Clarks-
vile. The Nashville Bonner of Saturday
says that there was not word of truth
in the rumor. From a friend who arrived
from the reported scene of blood and
thunder, we learn the following facts:
On Friday a man named valiant got into
a dispute with the editor of a Radical pa
per and slapped his face. The Rad rushed
to the telegraph office and telegraphed
Senter that unless troops were sent imme-
diately all Union men would be muir
dered. That night the citizens were sur
DAANt0 ~ NAAC VI ~ q oBNN4hA u all
with n~inety-five militia. Not half a
dozen citizens knew of the slapping, and
everybody were astonished to hear of the
riot, etc, next morning.
A correspondent from Homboldt TO
the Jackson Tribune, (whom we are happy
to quote so often to-day,) says: "a dis
ease has broken out among the melish >
which their medicine man calls spotted or
brain fever, don't think it could be brain
fever which has been fatal in its results.
In consequence Of its ravsges the men are
deserving in squads of from six to a dozen
every day. on the night of the oath inst, |
the entire command, except the officers, |
were ready with " three days cooked "a
tons " to march for their new mountain
homes, and would only consent to remain
promise of Capt. Hammer that he
go to Nashville on the next day
and use his influence with Gov. Senter to
have them mustered out at once. The
has gone on his mission of peace, |
and we wish him the most abundant sue
cess.
