racy that was ever concOcted In the busy
brain of the most designing knave is
being hatched to destroy his liberties by
breaking up this Government. If the
people do not rise in their strength and
put back these meddling politicians. the
latter will chloroform them with Sec
tional prejudice, and then ride over
them rough-shod before they can re-
cover from the narcotic. The political
tricksters, who see their power slipping
from their grasp, are playing a desper-
ate game, and will not lose a trick II
they can help IT. Let honest men see
that double-dealers do not stack the
cards.
This warning and prophecy came only
too sadly true. Harris continued his
insidious work, and in spite Of the pro-
nounced CniOnism Of majority of his
people, he was bold enough, after Fort
Sumter was fired on. to reply to Presi-
dent Lincoln's call for troops:
Tennessee will not furnish a single
man for coercion. but $4,000, IL neces-
sary, for the defense OF our rights and
those Of our brethren"
Like the rest of the Pro-Slavery DEM
agogues, North and South, he was MAX
ing the most OF the ugly word "coer-
cion" to inflame the minds of the peo-
pie against any attempt of the Govern
ment to assert it's rightful authority.
II,
the Legislature had been induced to call
a conyention-the regular device Of the
Secessionists to take State out Of the
Union. Conventions generally proved
quite pliable to the conspirators. The
vote was taken in March, and resulted
I'm an astounding defeat for the Seces-
| sionists, there being only 24,789 votes
for the convention to 81, 500 against, a
Union majority Of 67,054. Even this
did not discourage the indomitable Har-
ris, and it probably stimulated Jefferson
Davis to order the b0mbardment Of
Fort Sumter-to sprinkle blood in the
faces Of the people," as he expressed IT,
and rouse them to the fighting pitch.
Unfortunately, many of the Union lead
ers quailed before the sedulously raised
storm which followed the lombard
ment and they were betrayed into the
capital folly OF issuing an Address to
the People Of Tennessee, in which they
said:
Tennessee is called upon by the
President to furnish two regiments; and
| the State has, through her Executive,
refused to comply with the call. This
refusal Of our State we fully approve.
We commend the wisdom, the justice
and the humanity of the refusal. We
unquai:iedly disapprove Of secession,

and were generally Wings as they are
Republicans to-day. They had little
love for slavery Or for shareholders. The
latter went farther West and took up
the fat lands of the valleys of the Lick
ing, Kentucky, Green. Cumberland and
Tennessee Rivers, with their tributaries.
These lands were better adapted to slave
labor than the more rugged soil in the
eastern part of the States, which re-
quired to be titled with personal atten-
ton and diligence.
There was much more of what might
be termed a middle class I'm kentucky
and Tennessee than in the other South
ern States. and these were less under
the dominion of the shareholders than
the others. In both States there were also
some of the ablest men that this Nation
has ever seen. and the traditions Of the
great Wing leaders who followed the
banner of Clay were all distinctly and
strongly Union loving. Upon any ques-
ton of secession or dissolution OF the
Union. no matter how much the Seees-
sion leaders might attempt to obscure
1t by the slave question. there was al
. ways very large majority against dis
union.

the war showed a majority Of $4,000

Son Dy their unscrupulous politicians.
If, as the Secession conspirators san
guinely hoped, Kentucky and Tennessee
should throw in their lot with the IL
seeding States, 1t would make a COM
bination too powerful for the North to
successfully attack. If, on the contrary,
as many others hoped and strove for,
Kentucky and Tennessee should assume
q neutral position, they would be buff
fer against any aggreSSiveneSS from
either direction. They would shield the
Cotton States from any advance from
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia
could not cross their boundaries for any
attack on the States north of the Ohio
River. Probably a clear majority of
the Kentuckians at first strongly cher
ished this armed neutrality idea, which
was announced by the Governor of the
State, Beriah Magoffin, and a large

a cloak under which to drag the State

The populations of Kentucky and

mainly of the Scotch-Irish, Irish and

lion of 1745, and had made their homes
in the Piedmont region of Virginia and

from which point 1 could see, at a dis
tance Of about 500 yards, the position
of the Federals. They were heavily in
trenched upon the side Of an elevated
ridge running a little west and south
and extending TO the vicinity of the
ChickahOminy. At the foot of the
slope ran Powhite Creek, which stream.
together with the abatis in front of
their works, constituted a formidable
obstruction to our approach, whilst
batteries, supported by masses of ip-
fantry, crowned the crest of the hill in
rear, and long-range guns were posted
upon the south side of the Chicka-
hominy, in readiness to enfilade our
advancing columns. The ground from
which | made these observations was,
however, open the entire distance TO

determined to advance from that point
to make q strenuous effort to pierce
the enemy's fortifications, and, If pos
sible, put him to flight. 1 therefore
marched the 4th Texas by the right
flank into this open field, halted and
dressed the line whilst under fire of

instructions that no man should fire
