WHAT THEY Say.
From sullivan County.

BLOUNrvILLE, TenI., March 20, 1870.
Ed. Herald and Irihunc-MOnday, March
10, was Circuit Court dnv In Bluuntvllle. 1t
being generally known that Messrs. Brown
low and Milburn would address the people
on that day, some SIX or seven hundred were
here, eager To- listen To the speaking. When
the time arrived the court house was filled.
Milburn led OH Ia about an hours speech
and was given close attention but elected
very little applause. All the way through 1t
seemed that he was lahOring under sOme I'M
seen difficulty. and his speech was n disap-
pointment To all. BrOwulow followed, and
II was soon seen where the difficulty lay
with MIR. Milburn. The sledge hammer
blows from Mr.. BrOwnlOw soon demolished
his cob houses, and nothing was left of the
great Milburn butdoodlc dust. Round after
round of applause greeted BrOwnlOw, and
the walls of the building shook from foun-
dalton to roof. 1t was Il great victory for
the man of the people, and his friends think
he well deserves the title of Champion of
Republicanism. Milburn's friends were dis
appointed and showed It plainly, while the
friends of Mr.. BrownlOw wore u smile that
betokenS victory and the consciousness that
their man was fully equal To the occasion,
and displayed mental ability superior to
that of his antagonist Milburn's forces are
considerably demOrallzed in this county, and
he Is not so strong today as he was three
weeks ago. There seems to be u disposition
now IN this county among the Milburn men
TO Ga To Anderson; II IL can he shown that
Anderson is the stronger man of the two, 1t
will he done, Anything with them to beat
BrOwnlOw, but this Is impossible. Brown
low is in the lead, has been from the very
start. The combined forces of the two can't
reach him; besides he is growing stronger
every day. Hewill carry l6 out of the u dis.
tricts in the county, and his majority will
be from 300 to 500. This Is n very conserva-
tive estimate, ana | do believe Milburn will
only carry two districts in the cOunty-the
Sth and 10th. The strong, loyal, common
sense speeches of BrownlOw AZ Blooming
dale and Kingsport and here in Blountville,
has had such telling effect on the ranks of
Mr.. Milburn that it Is nOw conceded that his
majority will be small in the 10th, while in
the past IL has been called his stronghold.
Peter IOakley, Esq, of Wahoo, has been
appointed Mr.. Brownlow's agent in this
cOunty-a good and wise choice. His perso-
nal influence and wide acquaintance, social
and business standing. will give additional
prestige To BrOwnlow's campaign in Sulli-
van. EX-Judge Brown was here yesterday
trying 10 rally the Milburn forces. Adam
Bowman, Esq, was looking to the interests
Of Anderson. | learn that they plainly saw
the handwriting on the wall, and made their
exit soon. All is well in Old sullivan.

that gentle Ceres will respond bountifully to

bers of the "ring' to carry this district for
Milburn, but The people are determined not
TO be pulled by any such leaders. They know
too well what will be 10 their own interests,
and all the Doodle the Milburnites can put
up can not change them; and we predict that
when the 18th OF April rolls round the still
small voice Of the people will break forth
in thunder tones for Brownlow, the real
friend of the soldier, n of all men the
most capable of representing our interests

Ed. Herald and Tribune--As an old SOL

heard men clash and lie about Brownlow

who do SO much talking would only keep in
the bounds, or even within a mile of the
truth, IL would not look 50 COMPOUNDED bad;
but they do not even try to keep in sight OF
the truth. They call him a rebel, a whisky
barrel, a beer key, and all such low slang.
The very idea of saying that Walt Brown
low was a rebel in time of the war, is simply
preposterous. | happen to know that to be
q lie, for he came to my regiment, the Sth
Tennessee Cavalry Volunteers, and wanted
to volunteer, but could not OF account of his
age, being only II years old, and but "A very
little kid. lie stayed with the regiment, |

BrOwulOw since 1872, and he has always been

Milburn or any one else could do. So | hope
that the old soldiers all oyer this Congress-
ional District will dust look at this talk and
twaddle about rebel whisky barrel, beer key
and shooting at Republicans in Rogersville,
as a got up job to catch soldier votes, and
will pay no attention to it, but 90 straight
