otions up to his present rank, is a
part OF the familiar history of the
country. and | do not propose to

When the great outcry was made
against him after the battle Of
Pittsburg Landing, one of his aids
wrote several letters in his defense,
and sent them to me for publication.

have q very salutary effect on pub
lie sentiment in this part of the
country; but as soon as General
Grant learned it, he ,eIegraphed
me not to publish any more.


General Grant wrote mo once
from the West during the war, that
the Government had asked good
deal of him, but it had never asked
any more than he folt himself
equal to. He always wrote in good
spirits.


On his way to Washington to
take command OF the army of the
Potomac, he stopped an hour to
see us. His mother asked him
if he was not "afraid to attack Lee "
"Not at ALL he replied. II know
lee ss well he knows himself |

his weak ones. intend to attack
his weak points, and flank his

He wrote to us occasionally
throughout the war; but his time
was too much occupied for him to
write frequently or at much length.
His mother suffered much less
anxiety about him than she did
during the Mexican War. She
seemed to feel throughout the re-
belIion that he had been raised UP
for tho particular purpose of that
war, and thought the same Power
that had raised him up would pro

Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph.


NASHVILLE, Aug. 26.-Refugees from the Ku-
Klux brutaities continue TO come into the city.
Two weeks ago sixteen of the disguised scoun.
drels residing in Lincoln county, in the neigh
borhood of Senator William wyatt's, went to
the house of william Moore, demanded his
voting certificate, knocked him down with their
pistols, and beat him savagely, cutting his head
to the skull in several places. They then
stripped him and gave him us lashes
on the bare back. They told him he was a
id radical, and before the negroes of Lincoln
should again vote the radical ticket, they and
all their white radical friends should be killed
They also told him If Senator Wyatt, whom
they dragged from his bed and beat just before
the meeting of the Legislature, should ever
return home, they would certainly kill him
The men who whipped Moore we're his neigh
bols, and he recognized several of them.


Both branches of the Legislature were in
session yesterday. In the Senate the Financial
Committee submitted lengthy report, which
was ordered 10 be printed. The House Military
Committee reported a strong military bill,
which also goes to the printer.


The latter is substantially the sane as that
introduced by Colonel Thornberg. ten days
since giving the Governor unlimited power,
calling out troops, directing martial law, and
compelling counties where militia may be quar-
tered to pay for the expenses incurred. The bill
is on the third reading in the House.


minority report was also submitted, stating
that, as the General Government had proffered
Federal troops in case any was needed, 1t would
not only be unnecessary but wrong to put
partisan militia in the field This report met
with rough reception, and after heated dis
cussion, the House, by vote of A to 10 refused
even to allow it to be printed. During the
debate, it was openly limited by some of the
radicals that the Federal troops could not be
trusted to act in the interest of the party in
power.


The bill will probably be law by next
Saturday, and the militia will be placed in the
field shortly thereafter. Two large boxes of
arms and ammunition were sent from this
city last evening, to the Franklin, the Press,
and Times.


The radical journals declare this morning, on
the authority OF those who thoroughly investi-
gated the late murder, that political conside-
rations had nothing to do with the killing of
Bierheld, and that the killing was prompted
solely in revenge for the murder of Elzell.


The political campaign is going on briskly on
both sides, and although party feeling runs high
no ssnguinary collisions worth speaking Of
as yet.

is really impossible i. e., that all the Blacks in
in the Southern States have cleft" and
that only the White population remains.
Who, then, will do the work
1t may be answered that there will then be an
influx of White laborersf But what has been
gained, unless the change has made labor re-
spectacle, or, more accurately speaking, gen
teel? You will merely have substituted White
pariahs for Black pariahs--the old, original
blue blood will be quite as lazy, greedy, and
unprOductive, quite as naughty and intolerant,
quite as unreasonable and dOmineering as
ever; so, that, in a few years, you will have
repetition of the cry that "somebody must
leave" Nothing will satisfy these pauper-
ized aristOcrats except restoration of the old
and unnatural relations, by the virtue, or,
rather, by the vice of which the On-wOrker
appropriates the workers wages. That is what
they want, and that is precisely what, through
no possible concatenatiOn of changes, can they
have in the new and regenerated South. This
being the fact, the sooner they leave the better
for their respective localities, and the worse
for the lands toward which they may turn
their faces.


The truth is, what we mainly want in recon
stuctng Southern society is time and patience
1t an absTdity surprising the absllrdity of
childhood, to expect country Scared and des-
olated by civil war, and affected by great social
changes, to blossom instantly like the rose,
and to advance in a moment to the nights OF
productive prosperity. Most of the trouble at
the South, it is evident, is created by class
small in numbers, and which must, in the
nature of things rapidly disappear partly be-
cause it has lost and never can recover its old
artificial position, and partly because it is cut
off from the possibility of recuperation by its
own faults, habits, and vices. We do not ex-
pect men of this debased character ever to con-
slider the Black as anything but nuisance,
and, in turn, the Blacks will necessarily regard
the thriftless and naughty Whites as their
natural enemies. But all this is of to-day.
All this is the result of struggle for life or
death between a doomed arist0cracy and a
democracy just rising to a sense of its natural
rights. There will be no trouble when equity
has become familiar, and general justice be-
tween man and man has made toll sweet and
labor pleasant and honorable.

1t can no longer be doubted that at the time
of our latest advices from Paraguay the war
had taken q turn unfavoIabe to Paraguay.
Paraglayan accounts themselves represent the
abandonment of Curupaity, which has so long
defied the Allies, as probable. The Paris Mon
neur. whose reports from the seat of the war
have generally been found to be substantially
correct, states that all the principal positions
around IIumaita were in the possession of the
Allies, and that the fortress itself, it was
thought, could not much longer resist the Allies.
The Brazilian reports, which have not estab-
lshed claim to accuracy, are of course Jubl-
liant. They expect the fall of Humaita within
three days, and even announce the flight OF
President. Lopez. All this, of course, needs con.
fimation, but rom the conflicting accounts in
general we infer that the great stronghold of the
Paaguayans, Humaita, is in real and immedi-
ate danger of falling into the hands of the
Allies. President Lopez may, as has been as
serted, have in the meanwhile fortified other
places but the fall of what has been from the
beginning of the war his great stronghold can
not but have n crushing effect. After the fall
of Iumata, the fall of Lopez cannot be far
off.


The treatment Of Paraguay if she be COM
PEELED to make peace has boeR substantially
provided for in the Tripartite treaty, the most


Important provisions of which have repeatedly
been printed in TIE TRIBUNE. President
Lopez will not be allowed to remain in the
country; the Paraguayans will be called upon
to elect some other President; they will, of
course have to pay the whole expense of the
war; they will have to cede formally to Brazil
and the Argentine Republic that disputed ter
ritory to which those States together with
Paraguay, lay claim; they will have to guar
antee the free navigation of the Paraguay and
Parana Rivers. Most of the conditions of peace
will be heavy burden upon the people of
Paraguay; but the establishment of free inter
course with the neighboring States, and the
civilized world in general, will do much toward
the injurious effects of the war.


One of the three sgners of the Tripartite
treaty, the President of Uruguay, has recently
been assassinated. The term Of office of the
President of the Argentine Republic will ex-
pire in October of the present year. The third,
the Emperor of Brazil, is said to intend to
abdicate and to retire to Europe. Thus, at the
