From an occasional Correspondent of the
Appeal
In obedience to my promise | will
proceed to give you a few items gath
cred up by the wayside ON my jour
ney to this, the Hub. My travel has
been rather circuitous, having touched
st. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto,
Niagara City, Rochester, Albany, Civ
ing to each brief call visit. L could
not appreciate the great and glorious
victory we had achieved in Tennes-
see until cOnyersing with both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans on my way,
and finding that the greatest political
Importance was attached thereto. st.
Louis was all ahlaze. Our old friend
Dan Able and others were more than
iubiiant. Even in the. dominions
of the Canadas l found friends
who had observed the degraded
and oppressed esaditien of Ten
nessee's ehivalrie citizens and
copied and commented with ex-
ultation and pride accounts of their
deliveranee. The Republicans of
Illinois claim the election Of Senter
ss & Republican victory, but they
await with fear and trembling, as they
DO al over the North, the election of
United States Senator to succeed
Fowler. 1 was exceedingly astOnished
to hear the universal acclaim la favor
of Andrew Johnson for United States
Senator from Tennessee, coming as it
did from true Democrats wherever 1
have been. had no idea he enjoyed
such unbounded popularity with the
Democrats of the North and Western
States. To-day an old Maine Radical
asked me if l thought the=a was any
danger of JOhngq1a getting into the
Senate, and said such would be
/ the bitterest pill ever admin
istered to the Republican party.
I assured him that mad no doubt but
that Johnson would be elected almost
without opposition. They hate hiIn
with a malignity seldom equa, ed,
and nothing short of ais return to the
United St2sas senate will demons
trSye fully to these malicious and pro-
scriptiye Radicals of the North the
extent and character of our victory In
Tennessee, We have had 8 most de-
lightful trip thus Ea, having eXpe-
rienced no mishap In over 25O0 miles
travel by rail and water. Boston is
| certainly a great and busy city. AeF
thoruughfares are narrow, ana almost
constantly blocked Up with commerce
and travel, kteF commons, lakes and
gepetai scenery picturesque and beau
tiful. We went out East this morning
to PierpOnt Grove, sQ-ae eight miles
out to rssufar old-fashioned
camp 1aestfng now being held by the
! great church Of Boston, the SpigtSa4Gt4
ISIS. The grove was most beautiful.

was on the grounds. The most elo-
Guent and distinguished speakers,

The Davenport Brothers gave seance

wonderful feats, and | am glad to in

We saw a guitar played by, as tney
said. spirit hands-performing any
tune called for correctly and elegantly
| called for Dixie, and it was well ex-
ecuted, giving none, as l perceived, sc
much pleasure as ourselves. LadleS
in a trance delivered Lectures and
spoke elOquently. One, however, In
complete blOOmer costume, cut quite
peculiar, and to me, interesting figure
! Another frisky pert, but smart female
acted as chairman of the meeting, IN
Producing the speakers and making
the usual announcements from the
stand fearlessly and fittingly.
| forgot to remark, however, thai
the Democrats of the North are Sc
riously apprehensive that we of Ten
uessee will take up the doctrine OF re
pudiatiOn enunciated by Emerson
Etheridge, and thereby throw obstacle:
in the road to political and commercial
prosperity in which she has Just nov
embarked. OF this | assured then
that they need have no fears for th'
noble and proud sons of Tennessee
would never repudiate one single JUS
debt of their State, though it was con
tracted by the usurpers and plunderer
who have controlled her since th'
war, and 1 trust speak the senti
ments of every honest taxpayinl
TenneSSeean.
We leave here tomorrow for New
York via Newport. Thence to Ions
