TODAY

We are to have n great man in our
midst to day. for Mr.. Johnson may
be said. to represent the most splen-
did phase of our american develop
ment. Without learning and with
cut money or friends, he has reached
the summit of power and fame.
And, as the oak adorns the plain
upon which it casts it benignant
shadow, SO has Mr.. johnson shed
upon the State which has nurtured,
and which may be said to have pro-
duced him, glory which it has not
known since the day Of jackson.
There will be also in Bristol, to-day,
another man, transplanted from the
granite soil of New England, who
represents in no sense the product
i've capacity of public sentiment
in this latitude. We do not desire
TO picture the frigid and impious
mental capacities which give to Mr..
Maynard the power to evoke hatred
from a generous and hospitable
people. In no sense is he a child
Of Tennessee, and in no sense is he
rooted in the confidence or affec-
tions of that class of her people
who hew her timbers, rend her
rocks or mellow our soil beneath a
genial Southern sun. We will
leave Mr.. johnson to paint before
the vision of the vast audience,
which they to day will attract, the
symmetrical monstrosity of this po-
litical and social exotic.
Gen. Cheatham will receive a
respectful hearing, but he is not
the man to say much for the
audience he will have, and his hear
era VIII be compelled to applaud
him less for the little he may say
than for the great deal which ma
tire has capacitated him not to say.
As soldier he was true, but as a
politician he must be taken fer the
questionable qualification of silence.
lie will claim to be the nominee OF
the State, and if that were so Mr..
johnson would be endorsed in a
moment. But he is not the nomi-
nee, and for ourselves VIC would be
willing to test this matter by call
ing full and fair convention, in
which Sullivan county might be
heard, with every other county in
the State.
But these gentlemen will speak
for themselves and our readers
will hear them.

Our In6snp Letter.

The following interesting letter
from the Indian Nation is written by
one of the Red Men and will be found
to contain items of interest from that
far Countrywide. NEws.)
REAM's STATION, Choctaw Nation.
September 10th. 1872.
Mr.. /. c. FOWLER:
Dear Editor. Away out here
in the far West are few discomfort
ed persons disconted, because they do
not share the great advantages, you
of the white race enjoy. Ore fthese
is the receiving of letters from absent
friends. The writer is living in a
valley calel Ream's Station, in the
centre Of the Choctaw Nation, 8
miles away from a store and six miles
to my nearest neighbor. The cleo
ton does not agitate the minds OF
the Red Men, most Of them care moth
ing for a voice in the affairs of their
own Council. much less those of the
United States. but those that arc en-
lightened enough raise their hats and
"shout for Old White Hat" They
are tired of Grants administration,
and / think that is the sentiment Of
the majority of Kansas and Texas.
Missouri and Texas have at last
started the Railroad through the Ma
ton, merely having the right of way.
and it promises to pay the owners of
the road 10 cents per mile, which is a
low price for this country. and some
times 20 cents is charged.
Land is rich, more than I can say
of the people inhabiting it. Minerals
of all kinds Astounding in profusion
and some day in the future, the In
dams will have a splendid home.
Each person is entitled to (l60) one
hundred and sixty acres of land. /
will try as soon rs We get Post Of
fee to raise club for you and know
[ shall succeed for there are very few
agents in this country. would be
taking it myself, but our nearest Of
fec is GO miles aud it is merely
through the kindness of the r. K.
Conductors that we get any mail.

to circulate and I will work for you
and give you all the news possible.

dennis the disposition of certain

blows, and polishes off Horace
Maynard as handsomely rs he did

polish off the Hon. Horace May

Gen. Cheatham is utterly made

DEATH OF COL. FRYE.

Col. David Frye died on Tuesday
evening last. This fiery and adventu.
rous spirit, which civil war, with all
Of its perils and horrors could not in
timidate and failed to kill, has at
length fallen near his own Preside. in
the calm summer day of a new and
peaceful age. He must have been a
man of great decision and boldness.
From having been one of the most
daring and determined againt the
southern mYvement, lie became one of
the earliest and most persistent dis
Senters from the policy Of reinvaSion
and enslavemcnt Of the surrendered
confcderates. In both cases he
braved n Preponderance of public
sentiment and it would be unsafe and
uncharitable alike to say that he was
either insincere or logically wrong.
Beyond these points in Col. Frye's
history we know but little. In 1862
he burned the Railroad Bridge at
Lick Creek, and in 1864 was captured
and was for awhile in Jail at Abing.
don. but made his escape. On the
2lst ult., he was MORALLY injured by
a fall between the mail train and the
platform at Greenville and has now
gone into faturity which is dreaded
by the majority of men ard which
nought hut the splendid hope of Il c
believer can clothc with tie glittcrng
light of attractiveness.
