rejoice unspeakably at a riot. They would
welcome bloOdshed as a God-send. Ev-
cry fisticuH which may occur in Middle
aud West Tennessee to-day, viii go with
electric speed to Washington, magnified a
hundred fold. From thence it viii be
circulated by every Radical paper in the
North, ami pointed to as evidence conclu-
sive of the necessity Of rcconsTucting
Tennessee. We therefore hesecch our
friends 20 bear and forbear. Let not the
excitement incident to the day betray
them into acts of violence. There will
doubtless be many who viii be glad to
provoke difficulty that they may obtain
the benefit thereof before the Reconstruc-
ton Committee. We repeat, and insist,
that we shall have peace.
