FREAKS OF TIE LIGHTNGNG.-
During the prevalence of the severe
lightning and thunder storm on Mon
day evening there was quite stir and
commotion among the hands in the

flashed luridly and wildly, and the
almost incessant thunder pealS made
the extensive buildings CULVER to their
foundations. The lightning was evil

aOrse,.


Prom the 81. Louis Democrat, June ~
We have always objected TO making
public allusions 10 private expressions
during the war, but the writer Ofthis has
gro wn weary of the many statements
scattered broadcast by the Northern
press all TO the effect that General Zol-
licoiler was killed 10y General Fry at
the battle OF Mill springs, Ky. The
writer of this article was upon the staff
of that gallant soldier and gentleman,
General Zollicofler, in the battle in
which he lost his life, and the only one
of his staff who was Immediately with
him when he was done to death, I"
the other members being or on duty.
We had been sent forward to order n
regiment which had moved too far
ahead TO align itself with the remain
der of Zollicolfer's brigade ON its rear
and right. At that time heavy firing
was going on the right of this reg
iment-the 10Th Tennessee--also firing
irregularly on the enemy, who were
advancing under cover of skirmishers.
Upon returning To General Zollicofier,
who was at that time in the rear OF the
line, he suggested that 1--WE were firing
upon our own men, We stated that
the enemy Were i'm front, which the
Glen. doubling, started forward TO as
certain. We urged him TO desist, as
we saw the Federal slSirmishers. AT
that time, both he and the writer were
about one hundred yards from the enc
my. He continued to move forward
the 10Th Tennessee meanwhile retir-
ing, according TO the previous order
AS we rode forward, we urged General
Zollieo9er 10 return, representing to
him he would be killed--all TO no pur-
pose. He still declared, however, that
our trops were airing upon each other,
and, being near sighted, continued u

Editors NstOs:-Belcvin you are
lair minded men, ! take it for granted
you will give the devil his dues. In a
paragraph in the editorial column OF
your paper to-day, you do Gov. Nc.
Mullin manifest Injustice; doubtless
Internationally or through wrong in
formation as to the facts in the case
You say, "Fayette McMullin has been
holding convention of his friends in
Abingdon and trying to vote down a
convention for the District and ask
what has Fayette McMullin, n Smytll
county man, to do with the appoint
ment of delegates from Washington
county TO a convention -
These are the facts in the case Gov,
McMullln, having announced himself
Il candidate for Congress, came, with
OUT appointment or previous notice, to
meet the people of Washington coun-
ty, that4part of the voters of the Dis
trict, who were expected to attend the
county court. TO the writer's knowl-
edge he did not intend TO speak, much
less intefere with the call for conven-
ton. lie was requested by many
friends to address the people and with
the consent and APPRECIATION of the
court he occupied the Court House du-
ring the recess of the Court. The Gov.
commented, as he had u right to do,
pretty severely, on the manner in
which conventions had been gotten up
in other counties, and delegates APP
pointed, but he said, that he would
submit his claims to fairly constitu-
ted convention, and abide the result,
ard in this, the Abingdon ViryiRidl
concurs fully with the Governor.
There was no call for, nor conven-
ton held, of McMullin's friends-but
there was n feeJie call for II convention
emanating from those opposed to him
and it was fec1W responded to: and ii
this response Is any indication of the
feeling of the people, Washington
coLnty don't want convention. Ii
the motion for meeting on the 1lth
OF July, to appoint delegates to Marion,
had been sustained by rs large II ma
jority, as it was voted down. McMul-
Inns enemies would have proclaimed
| Washington county unanimous for d
convention. With equal justice, it car
he said that, Washington county is
willing to see McMullin or any other
citizen of the district exercise his right
| to Offer for Office, and that she will not
participate in the injustice of ruling
of one citizen to crafty the ambition
of another.
In conclusion, have this remark to
make: McMullin is about the only
Dem )crat in the District, who has had
the courage. the Wings call it impu-
dence, to offer for office, since the war,
and this much desired convention, is

field, and foist one of their own mum
