DURING the late unpleasantness Col.
Isaac Hawkins had the honor of COM
handing the Seventh Tennessee caval-
ry in the Federal service. Somehow
this regiment acquired a reputation for
warning principally on women and chill
dren. Recently it was intimated in a
Memphis journal that Hawkins "brave
boys" constituted the main body of the
Trenton jail breakers, and a call was
issued inviting the regiment to hold an
Indignation meeting at Huntingdon to
repel the charge. The Warerly Jour-
nal gives the result:
Before meeting, however, Col. Haw-
kins had communicated by telegraph
with Gov. Brown to ascertain the truth
of the matter, as to whether or not he
had made the statements attributed to
him. Whereuponthe Governor atonce
replied that he had not, but that there

ANDREW JOHNsON's OPINION OF
PORTER.

Knoxville Press and Herald, Oce. 2
In conversation with gentlemen who
called upon him yesterday, ex-Presi-
dent johnson said that he was present
both at Jone boro and Greeneyille, on
the occasion of the debates between
Judge Porter and Horace Maynard, and
that at Jonesboro, the latter gentleman
was astonished at the vim and vigor
shown by Judge Porter in his reioind-
er, and showed, although Maynard
made an able speech, that he had been
too confident and underestimate the
ability of Porter. At Greeneville, Mr.
johnson thought that Judge Porter
surpassed his Jonesboro effort, and
either from that or some other cause,
Maynard did nos do as well as usual.
Mr.. johnson thinks that Porter is not
as wei, posted in all the tricks of the
politician as Maynard, yet he will give
the latter all the business he can attend
to during the campaign.
