JAcKsoE, TENN. Sept. s.--Judge Car
thel reached this place yesterday, and
opened and Immediately adjourned the
Circuit Court, in order to return to Tren-
ton and prutract the session of his court
there sufficiently longer to allow the grand
jury time and opportunity to follow up
their investigations into the recent dis
turbanees in Gibson county; leading TO the
killing of the negroes who were taken from
the Trenton jail. Gov. Brown has been at
Trenton several days past, aud is urging
the authorities to extraordinary diligence
in ferreting out the perpetrators.
A rumor, evidently well founded, and
discussed on the steet here, is to the
effect that Gen. Alex w. Camp

the most prominent lawyers in Tennessee,
has been retained at fee Of thirty thOus-
and dollars to defend certain parties in the

: WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The carpet
baggers are still hanging around Washing
ton, and are still busy pulling the wires by
which they have already enfrapped the adj
ministration into their schemes. The So
called Senator Spencer, Of Alabamas is
drilling his men 20 send one to long

told one of these fellows the other day,

carpet-baggers ara very reluctant TO have
aIy military officers as commission sent
down South by tlie President for the pur-
pose of examination into The condition Of
affairs there, nor are they wiling that the
army officers shall have any discretionary
power. Their plan is TO have the military
to do whatever they are told 10 do by the
district attorneys aud marshais, and, as
these civil Offices in the South are filed by
the most malignaht OF carpet-bagges and
sealawags, they reckon confidently on their
doing an they want for political purposes.
Another branch Of the same political game
is to have convention of these robbers and

TROOPs FOR TENNEsSEE.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphs as
follows:
The Secretary of War to-day COM
pleted the orders for the removal OF
troops to their newly selected stations
In the South. The posts selected COW
cred Tennessee, Alabama and South
Carolina. Arrests will be made in va
rious quarters during the coming week,
If troops can reach their stations In
time to secure protection to officers of
the law. The greatest diligence VIII be
exercised both on the part Of Marshals
and their deputies and the officers of
the troops, to bring guilty parties to a
speedy trial. There Is to be no hesita-
ton in any quarter in dealing with all
perpetrators of outrages.
Perhaps this announcement should
be hailed with the homely advice Of
DaEy Crockett, "Be sure you're right
then go ahead" but for the fact that
there is reason to fear the movement is
only the beginning of our troubles.
Certainly, If We may Judge by South
Carolina, such will be the case; for
there the guilty escaped and the innO-
cent were punished either by imprison-
ment or spoliation. Very few of the
real offenders were arrested and
punished, while hundreds were
dragged from their homes to
distant points and thrown into
prison, many of whom were con-
victed upon the testimony of ignorant
and irresponsible negroes, and by ju-
ries oomposeiof of that class. The whole
thing was parody upon justice and

A. a. Garter offered the following

A. A. Garter offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the UNION AND

this meeting for the course it took in
the late county election, in arraying
one class of our citizens against the
other Such a course should receive
the condemnation of all good citizens
Resolved, That the Republican Ban
sler has the approval Of TINS meeting
for the able editorials denouncing the
'STrenton massacre.
The above is taken from the Banners
report of the primary meeting held by
some fifteen or twenty Radicals, chief
ly negroes, in the Fourth Ward, Mon
day night. As the condemnation of
all good citizens" was expressed in the
shape of the heaviest majority ever
given Democratic ticket in Davidson
county, the UNION AND AMERICAN
can afford to smile serenely at the first
resolution. Its author was frequent
visitor at this Office during the canvass,
and We used him for all he was worth
AVOICE FROM THE HERMITAGE
Some few days ago we published a
letter from Judge j. i. T. Sneed, of
the Supreme bench, to Judge 10. c.
Guild, IN favor of removing the re-
mains of General and Mrs. jackson
from the Hermitage to the capitol
grounds. Judge Sneed urged this
proposition with such patriotic zeal
that we endorsed it at first blush, as
the most appropriate mark of respect
that Tennessee could pay to the mem
ory of her illustrious hero. In to-day's
UNION AND AMERICAN a distinguish
ed citizen, who eonceals his iden-
tity under the nom de PIHHse of " Red
Oak" enters solemn protest against
disturbing the sacred ashes of the
dead, but even he has not touched upon
the real merits of the case.
In the spring of 1850, bill, offered
for the very purpose suggested by
Judge Sneed, would probably have
been passed by the General Assembly
but for one objection which was then,
and should be now, deemed insuper-
able. While the bill was pending, a
letter from Andrew Jackson, Jr., TO
Gov. Harris, was submitted, in which
he said: Il write you, sir, for the pur-
pose of expressing the dying sentiments
of my venerated father to me and Mrs.
jackson, Just before his decease, as /
perceive that a ToEement has
been made in the Legislature
to have his and Mrs. jackson s remains
removed to the State Capitol grounds.
He called me and my wife up to his
bedside and said: Ny son and daugh-
ter, it may become necessary for you
to dispose of the Hermitage and
grounds hereafter; but 1 beg of you to
let my remains and those of my dear
wife remain together at the Hermitage,
there to rest IN peace and quiet until the
final day Of Judgment, arhen our Lord
and Master lciU call u.s. -
To true Tennesseeans, can there be
aught more sacred than this last dying
request of Andrew jackson?
