stokes Negroes in Council.

We learn that meeting of negroes
took place on the north side of the river,
hollow Duck River Station, for the pur-
rose of discussing tine propriety of leav-
ing Tennessee for some of the Terrific
ries. They believed that the white peo-
pie, being now in the ascendancy, would
put them back into slavery. We do not
know what decision they came TO, but
they have not left the country yet.

The election day at Santa Fe passed
off quietly enough until late inthe even
ing, when old King Alcohol paraded his
army, who disgraced the little "City OF
the Hills" for an hour or more. Several
skirmishes took place, and at one time q
heavy battle was threatened. Pistols
and rocks could be seen in several hands.
Some of the steady, sober citizens, dis
gusted at the affair, intelposed, and af-
ter great deal OF earnest effort, succeed
ed i'm getting the fracas quelled, though
not until some of the peacemakers had
received few ticks from the drunken
bravadoes. Ore or two of the most re-
spectacle and influential citizens of San
ia Fe had their faces bloodied. The me-
lee was started by some boys playing
marbles, and drew into it friends of the
contending parties, until it really looked
like there would be general fight. 1t
was a white fight, the negroes behaving
well during the entire day. The fuss
did not have its origin in politics, as
some newsmongers may try to make
out, but was caused entirely by too much
busthead and by old family feuds. One
of the noticeable events of the election
day was an old rebel going up to the
polls with a black, greasy colored man,
depositing their votes together. The
negroes seemed more than ever inclined
to ask the advice of their old masters
and friends as to how they should vote.
Tie election was opened and closed in
legal form, and no one of any party
could have objected TO the proceedings.
The vote was the largest polled in the
district since the war. The precinct
gave SENTER 2l2, STOKES .

A great many side hits are being
made at the Plantation Bttters by a
score or two of disinterested friends,
who are endeavoring to initiate or
counterfeit them. The people won't
be imposed upon. Plantation Bitters
are increasing in use and popularity
every day. They are in the same siz-
ed bottle, and made just as they were
at first. They make the weak strong,
the languid brilliant and are exhausted
natures great rostorer. The recipe

tie. Clergymen, merchants. and per-
SONS whose sedentary habits induce
weakness, lassitude, palpitation of the
heart, lack of appetite, liver COM

permanent relief in the Bitters. But,
above all, they are recommended to

Last Saturday the teacher of negro
school at Santa Fe, a colored man nam
ed Aleck Few, had celebration OH the
occasion of the end of the session, ac-
companied by drum and fife, and at
tempted to march through the streets OF
the town. When they came to the Main
street of the town, however, they were
stopped by several white men, who turn
ed the column back. The negroes turn
ed around, and as they started Off they
gave three cheers for Aleck Few. They
marched up to where their dinner was
spread, and were enjoying themselves
when the same white men who had stop
ped them went up and said they were
ordered to have the drum stop beating.
The music was s1uelched, and the enjoy
ment of the negroes broken up. About
nightfall one or two of the white men
threw few rocks at small cluster OF
negroes, but none was hurt. The ne
groes behaved peaceably, and we regret
that the whites did not..do the same.
