Mr.. j. B. Snyder, one of the Revenue
raiders, was severely wounded. On Fri
day morning last, before day light, Gen.
Cooper and his men again surrounded
the still house but discovered that the

work and removed their utensils. The
raiders then scattered in search of the
hidden still. John Cooper, son of the
Revenue Collector, and Lea Lewis were
approached by Amarine and two other
men, who demanded their surrender, at
the same time opening fire. John Coop

THAT Attn RESOLUTION.
NEWPORT. Tenn. Aug. 9th, 1875

desire to say that while there is nothing
Objectionable upon its face, that dis
tinctly express my unqualified disapprO-
baton of the motive prompting it.
While it is true as a member of the
committee signed the resolutions, and
endorse them, my objection goes be-
hind the language and attacks the OBJ
iect. 1t is this | strike at {: The Demo
cratic party has always respected the
rights and has always endeavored to
promote in all things the interests of
the farming and laboring classes. OF
this the recent earnest and faithful ef-
forts of the party in Congress affords
shining and striking illustration. There
fore it is apparent the resolution was
designed especially to promote, if pos
sible, the pretenSions or aspirations OF
certain gentleman of this county who is
an aspirant for Congressional hOnors 1t
should be remembered that it is not the
particular avocation in life that gives
an individual any claims upon this or

ness of things" SO to speak. In other
words, it is the ability of the individual

pursuit or calling. Andrew Johnson
never based his claim to position in

because he was a mechanic nor am 1
aware that his friends sought his pre-
ferment upon the grounds of his calling

weeks engaged in lecturing and work |
ing for the cause of temperance, closed |
his labors in this place last Wednesday |
night, and departed Thursday evening |

many warm friends, and won the conf

ton, by his kind and persuasive manner
ofappealing to the heart and intelligence
of his hearer. He is an earnest and whole
sould advocate of total abstinence, yet
his conduct and lectures are not calcula
ted to wound orprovoke the sensitive ma
ture of the dram drinker or drunkard.
Whatever of harm to himself and pub
lie morals he may be accused of in his
earlier life, he is now endeavoring to do
good, and is doing it wherever he goes.
More than seven hundred persons, old
and young, in this village, signed the

in the Jail at Franklin, Tenn, charged |
with attempting to commit rape upon |
the person of a white child six years of
age, was forcibly taken from the Jail last
Wednesday night, by crowd of mask
ed men, and carried to the woods about
two miles distant, where a moose was
put around his neck and the other end
of the rope thrown over a limb. He was
on the eve of being drawn up when he
managed to loose his hands, which were
tied behind him, and slipping the moose
from around his neck sprang from his
horse and in the darkness made his es-
cape. A great many shots were fired at
him, two of which took effect, load of
squirrel shot in his right side and a pls-
toll shot in the hand. He was found late
the next morning in clover field about
mile from the gallows, when medical
attention was given him, and it was
thought his wounds were not fatal. An
order was issued by the Criminal Judge
to remove him to the Nashville Jail for
safe keeping.
Monday morning, August a, man
was found near Strawberry Plains, JEFF
ferson county, weltering in his own gore
from pistol shot in the forehead. He
was almost ifeless and senseless when
found, from the effects of having lain
in his wounded condition without at
| tention. It was ascertained that he was
tramp, a German by birth, named
Frank Welcel, and that the wounds up
on his person were inflicted by a fellow
tramp who was only known as Bob, who
fell in with him at this place and accom-
panied him to the Plains. The two had
been seen together the evening before,
one Of them with pistol. His COM
panion could not be found, and we un-
derstand reward is offered for his ar
rest. 1t is said Welcel's wounds will
prove fatal. p. S.-A young man by
name of r. P. Shrewsbury, who lives
near Greeneville, was taken down to
the Plains prisoner last Thursday fol
recognition. 1t is said he acknowledg-
ed shooting Welcel, but claims that he
detected him feeling in his pockets. The
Sheriff of Knox county took charge OF
the prisoner The Chronicle of Friday
says: " We heard Shrewsbury say that
he was with Welcel, and altogether, the
case is very strong against him. He had
in his possession pistol and watch
both of which were accurately describ
ed by Welcel before he had seen them,
and he also readily recognized Shrews
berry. The pistol had on the butt the
initials H. W. Wslcel says he lost $2S
so, and among other pieces a $40 bill. L
was proved that Shrewsbury had $lt
bill changed in Greeneville a day or two
since, which is not accounted for. The
testimony nf Welcel was taken in the
case and the prisoner bound over tc
court. Welccl is a German, who does
not seem to have any friends or relations
