The Congressional resolution, instruct
ing the Secretary of War to furnish the
State Government Of Tennessee with
arms and equipments sufficient for twen-
ty-fve hundred militia, is quite sug-
cestivs when considered in connection
with the reconstruction question.
BEowNIow has declared his determine
ton to employ these two and half
thousand militia as an adjunct to his
Government, and has Threatened to
make il hot" for those who have the
hardihood to oppose his management.
Such Governor, with such means of
mischief. will hardly fail to prodnce Sc


rious trouble. 1t is singular fact that


Tennessee, which Congress singled out
as special pet and favorite, has been
tho scene of more disorder and difficulty
since the war ended, than have occurred
in all the excluded States. While the
latter have been comparatively quiet
aud orderly, Tennessee has been con-
stantly agitated by local disturbances.
Lawlessness has been carried to such an
extent that the condition Of things has
been akin to anarchy, and the prospect
for the future is far from encouraging.
The lesson which all this teaches is that
such political charlatans as BRowNLow
should not be entrusted with the rs-
sponsible duty of leading the Southern
States through the mazes of reconstruc-
ton, and that Southern society will be
more orderly under fetal ostracism from
the Union, than when admitted to rep
resentation under the conditions of dis
reimbursement and persecution that
prevail in Tennessee.

TRAGEDY IN Coal M1NE.-The Journal de
Liege says that the men engaged in reopening
and repairing the works of the coal mine Of
Bow Buveur at Jemeppe, after reaching
depth of nearly 100 metres, have, at the end of
four months, come upon gallery communi-
eating with the lower ladders; there they dis
covered seven bodies of the unfortunate work
men who were there imprisoned while making
their way to the surface. The bodies are com
pletely mummifed, the shrivelled flesh ad-
herring to the bones. This phenomenon is
attributed to the abundant exhalations of car
bonic acid gas. The bodies lay on their backs,
one after the other, the hands being crossed
under the head. Two were found locked in a
close embrace. No satisfactory conclusion has
as yet been arrived at as to the cause Of the
death of these men, whether from the inhala-
tion of carbonic acid or from want of food,
being thus entombed. The gallery was unsafe
at the time the discovery was made, but care
is being taken to ventilate it, and to bear away
the bodies safely. The work of reparation is
yet likely to be tedious, for much injury has
been done, and the work requires to be set
about with great caution.

The Crops AN old and esteemed
farmer friend informs US that he has never
before known the crops in this valley to
look so uupromising at this season of the
year. Grain sown Eve or six weeks since,
as yet shows no signs of life, and fears are
felt that the coming harvest will prove a
failure. Our Salt Lake exchanges speak Of
the crops in that locality as unpromising,
and the opinion is expressed that the Saints
will have scarcely sufficient grain to meet
the local demand. In view Of short crous
the coming harvest, it becomes quite certain
that within the next sixty days there must
be material advance in the price Of bread

Is acceptable to the South and likely to accom-
plish the work Of complete restoration. No
man understands better than the Senator from
Ohio the true character Of the last Congress;
for he was one of its leading and controlling
spirits, and he gives the right Interpretation
to its sentiments and its acts when he
declares 1t to have been eminently a
conservative body. The radicils were bafflsd

Of the President or the confscation Of the
property Of the ex-rebels, or any other Of their
favorite schemes. Their Military bill, de-
signed TO hold the Southern States as con-
quered territory, was converted by Sherman
himselfinto the means Of promoting the speedy
reconstruction of the South Every ultra
movement made by the radicals was quietly
disposed Of by Congress.


Senator Sherman remains o member OF the
Fortieth Congress, and, II he adheres to his
present enlightened and progressive policy,
and uses his influence to induce his party to
act with as much conservatism, sense and judg-
ment upon the great questions that must sue
ceed that Of reconstruction, as they have
displayed in their treatment Of the question OF
reconstruction ITSELF he will continue to m,rit
the approval Of the country. The tariff, the
currency and similar matters will soon engross
the attention Of the people, and If the rcpub-
lican Congress shall meet the issues in broad,
enlightened, conservative spirit, they will
secure long lease Of power to their party.
From the old democracy, joined to Its idols
and unable to catch up with the stirring events
Of the age, the country has nothing to expect
or hope. They look to the present conserva-
tive majority in Congress for continued wise
and prudent action, and we believe they will
not be disappointed.

cent Outrage in Wilkes - from the Win
ston Sentinel


One day last week party of men from
Tennessee claiming to belong to Brown
lows militia, made a rush into Wilkes
county and arrested and carried off young
man by the name of Wagner. Wagner
is a native of johnson county, Tennessee
and at the commencement of the war Joined
the 1st North Carolina cavalry, and did
not visit his home during the struggle, and
since the war was afraid to retara home
and settled in Wilkes county in this State.

carried. him of told him they were acting
under the authority of Brownlow, aasl that
he had also offered S400 reward for him.
Wagner was in the field at work, and
when he vas arrested was refused permis-
sion TO go to the house for his coat The
captors placed a guard of two men, one on
each side, and then placed rear guard,
with instructions to fire off gun on the
approach of any one that had the appear
ance of pursuit and the firing of the gun
was the signal to the guards near Wago-
ner's person TO kill him. When the party
was approaching Taylorsville, the rear
guard stopped at a branch to drink, and
fell to the rear some thirty or forty yards.
Wagner conceived this to be the best and
last chance to escape; he suddenly struck
one of the guards and knocked him off a
steep embankment, and Immediately struck
the other and darted off into the woods.
By this time the attention of the whole
party was drawn to him, and they fired
volley after him, but fortunately his per-
son was not touched, although several balls
passed through his clothing. After laying
ont in the mountains fer two or three days
and nights, he got safely back to Wilkes,
where it is hoped he viii be allowed to re-
main unmolested.
