The Avenging Nemesis AbrOad-A
Preacher WhIpPer struck by Light


Preacher whIpPer struck by Light
ming.
The loyal citizens Of Blount county
have not yet got over their aversion to
hearing the ministers Of the Methodist
and Presbyterian Churches of the South
branches, preach the gospel. Probably
it might be of Advantage to "Parson
Nasty" to mix it with these loyalists for
time. He will discover family of the
genus ''damphoOl,' far superior to that of
the Confederate x Roads, in that the
Blount county specimens have real ex>
istence, and truth is stranger than fic-
ton"
The Smith" whipping case is fresh in
the memory Of all our readers. Avenging
justice is sometimes swift to punish evil
doers, even in this world.
Psrson Neal Of the Southern Metho-
dist Church, was tied to a tree and
whipped, nearly fifteen months ago. 1t
will be remembered that while returning
from church he was set upon by a gang
of desperadoeS, stripped, tied to a tree
and brutally fogged with hickory
switches, for no other offense than his
connection with the Methodist Church,
South.
The civil authorities being loyal, sym .
pathised with the villains rather than
with their innocent victim, and the
strong arm Of the law was never invoked
against them But stronger Power than
that which administers human law, witt
messed their crime, and in the mysteri-
Gus dispensations of His providence, has
brought retribution upon them. OF the
ruffians, three have since died, one was
recently thrown from his horse and NOR
tally wounded, while the fifth is jail in
for crime.
Even the tree to which Mr.. Neal was
tied by his prosecutors, has been since
smitten by the same unseen, but ever
wstchful power, and is now dead.
About two weeks since, during storm
of thunder and lightning, the house Of
VIM. Goddard, about seven miles from
Maryville, was struck by lightning. Mr.
Goddard's S son, who is under indictment
for being concerned in the whipping, was
stricken down, and for some time was be
lieved to be dead After time he par
tally recovered and is now able to b
about. A hired lad Of the family wa
killed by the same fash. The strangas
: part of the story is that during the sam
storm, the tree to which Mr.. Smith haC
been tied was struck by the lightning
rent in twain down its massive trunk
and the tree is now dead. The warnin
+ was a close one, and will probably hav

Registration In Williamson Count,

The Franklin RsrietO of Friday last says:
eve have the assurance from the proper
authority that in a very short time the
Registrars Office will be open in this
county; perhaps, next week. We want all
our fellow citizens to come to town imme-
diately and get certificates. You who have
lost your old ones come and get duplicates.
You who are entitled to them come and get
them. Let all come without delay. Be

CARPET BAGGERs."

Ir will be remembered that the Senior
Editor of the Wing had tolerable sharp
discussion with Secretary Fletcher on
this subject, in which allusion was made
to letter said to have been written by
Fletcher to Stokes about carpet-baggers.
We have been told that Gen. Stokes re-
ceived such letter and answered it.
Will Gen. Stokes publish that CORES
pondence We really hope he will. Space
in our columns for that purpose is at his
disposal We would like to judge from a
sight of the correspondence who of them
hates carpet-baggers.-KnorD Whig,

AN INDICATION

We learn from a gentleman who has
recently been in Warren county, in Mid
die Tennessee, that the great body Of
the new settlers, amounting perhaps to
about hundred families, are for Senter
and suffrage. This is as we should have
expected. How any Northern man liv,
ing in Tennessee, can support Stokes and
oppose Senter and suffrage, is a mystery
to US --KnorUilIe Whig, july 3.

Re acknowledgements n Sure ThiBg-A
View Of the Fifteenth Amendment.

View of the Fifteenth Amandment.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
Universal, unconditional, and un-
reserved enfranchisement of the dis
franchised citizens of Tennessee is sure
ly and rapidly coming. Like mighty
torrent the disfrsnchIsing laws will be
swept away. Stokes twaddle about its
being part Of the constitution, is great
nonsense. Universal suffrage is here, we
have it, the people are now free; at least
enough to beat Stokes by 10000 major
ity. | have seen the eyes of the best
citizens look brighted; have seen hope
take the place CT despair on the counten~
auces of these men on receiving cert
ificates to vote. No wonder. 1t is enough
to gladden. their hearts to know that
they are no longer to be driven from the
courts Of Justice like criminals to make
room for partizan jurors to try partizan
causes originating out of partizan malice
no longer to be driven from the enjoy
ment of right to which they were en-
titled by birthright and intelligence, to
make room for their late slaves. The
mighty wave is rolling from Cooke to
Shelby with resistless force, and will
not be stayed. A few counties in East
Tennessee may put up feeble majorities
against it, but not enough to impede the
mighty sweep Of its resistless current.
For one, am glad to see it, although it
comes too late to save our State from the
terrible consequences of four years of
Radical rule and ruin.
But in the midst Of our rejoicing for
this crumb of comfort, had we not better
consider how and by whom this is being
brought about? Are they not in almost
every instance, the supporters of that
most odious of all measures, the fifteenth
amendment? Look about and see. SEN
ter is for it. Brownlow and his clan are
for it. Harrison is for it. Suppose we
do carry it and wipe out the entire fran
chise law, and then tie yourselves and
your children after us by this odious
fifteenth amendment; will we not then
have surrendered to Congress the exer-
else of the very right we are now trying
to reclaim? And is not this supp ri o.
universal suffrage by BrOwnlow, Pearne
Senter, and the editor of the Press and
Times, intended to lull US to security or
this subject and then pass the fifteenth
amendment-a mere trick? If | haC
the influence and warning voice to sount
the alarm in every ear in Tennessee
would warn'the newly enfranchised tina
in less than two years, you will have
law of Congress more stringent on yo'
then the present franchise law, if "
! pass the fifteen tn amendment Bewar

aTHE LATE STORM AT ST. GAINESVILLE.
We clip the following account of the
same storm which visited us on Friday
afternoon from the Belmont Chronicle.
On Friday afternoon a very heavy
rain fell, accompanied by hail of the
ordinary size in our town but very
large and destructive. southeast OF us,
in some places literally demolishinE
the crops and the windows of houses.
Some farmers report that their crops in
the fields and fruits on the trees are
ruined. The storm was SO fierce that
neither man nor beast could stand be-
fore It. It struck Buffers omnibus be.
low Scott's, on the National Road, and
in a moment the horses were tangled
up and one down, while the omnibus
was in imminent danger Of being turn
ed over-the windows blown down, and
in the twinkling of an eye the BUS fill
ed with hailstones and water. The
damage to the gardens in the valley is
verv great. Persons who were in the
BUS assure us that the hailstones were
about the size Of hulled wRlnuts, and
the noise OF the storm was so great as
to drown the peals Of thunder.
