The statement of a few fa,is will, I think, be suflicient to conviuco any un prejudiced mind that tho charge you have made is utterly without founda tion. I state as a fact that thil CO!vtion1, after free and full discussion, adopted your suggestion of a ballot box, divest ed of any convention which woulo give color to your idea t hat the resilt of the vote in it wits designed to hind the ewi didates for the Legislatin-- for or against Prohibition. I state, as a further f.tvi, that the convention adopted as a part of its ad dress the recommendation hat. "the people demand that. the cantid.datvs Ior the House and Senate platv t., t-niselves on record on this question, o t he end that the prohibition votes of I he coun try may be intelligently cast." I state, as additional facts, tht:t you returned to the convention, signitied .YOUm u j- ' Ih it:; ite"Jo , 'Las; placed on the executiveumol:.itte e aId made chairman of the cominittee for your own county, and were e. eted sec retary and treasurer of the cttunilee.

The closing sentence of Air. Ii by's let ter on the subject reads: "As (Cu 'rmnan of the State t)emiocr'acy, 1 can ti dv recog nize the retluest ol tho Sitta P rohibi Lion Convention, and whilie l think it would have been better to cari ey tt t lhe idea of not catechising the C 'iditdates, yet 1 realize that Mr. .inettles cLluhu not t bind the State Convention ihih wit afterwards.

It is now clear that we were deceived atnd that you were during all this time riot very actively co-operating With the mommittee, and upon being summonsed to Meet the conumittee and report pro zress in your own county, you jumped the platform and set, up a movement of your own by announcing editorally in your paper, July 20, that "the only lilt fsple question put to every cai 1dte for the Legislature will bc: I, At iht Denocratic primary this year, a tijority of the votes ca-it in the coi :y, in the prohibition boxes, are in Favor of prohibition, will you, at the .ext session of the Legislattire, support SState itrohibition bile " This you did, Cnowing all the f icts which I have be ore recited, proving that this idea for h-Iich *on had contended in the con ent-ion and belore the )eiiiocratic ExLcuti'o Coomittee, had been ex re-sly iip t pi:ated by thimu I oth in hlir actioa a.s to this mat-ter. 11Iaving this set forth the facts of our associalion wtith the convention wnd tie committee. with all which your wti lItter shows you to be fully con verstIt, and abuti which you cannot O BeIl-doCived, I am perfectly williti .0 leavo the pib:ie, to Wlhcaa you Itve ippealed, to determine whether you tippear in the chiarater of deceiver or leceivetd.

Tenil , A 1ig1:t 17.-An archy reigns suimille in the mining ro-glons tiorth of this CiLY. The excit(' ient here is intensified and heightenld by lack of (lefinitti inforination, the wires having been cut. The mob is in actual posstssion iof the property of the East Tennessee railroad in the iieigh borhood of Coal Creek and Oliver Spring. They have cut the wires im numerous places, torn up the tracks in every direction and captured every locomotive in the mining region. A t a late hot last night more thin a thousand miners capturrd three loco motives .nmd several empty coal cars al. Coal Creek, and forced the engine-rs to take them to Oliver Springs, where about ninety live convicts were em ployed in the mines of tle Cumberland Coal Company. They arrived at Oliver Springs about 4 o'clock this morailg, and at oice planned an attack on tho steckade, where the convicts were con filned. A bout 7 o'clack they ass:ul 1:'-d the stockade, and a lively bal. It liro ceeded. 't he stock;ide was delended I y litty picked gtiards andi a coinpany of, thirty-eight militiamen. Two com panies of National Ciards en rolt from Chaltanooga, via I I arriman, were compelled to tak the bidet rack a fiw miles I rom Oliver's. on accou:it. of dis placed rails. llundreds of shots were exchanged, bul no one was injured. The guards and militia, seeing that it, was useless to combat it force tot 1,00 inftiriated men, quietly surrendered. The convicts, guards and soldiers weie loaded on a train of flat cars, and the engineer, at the 1) lint of a Winches tur rifle, wai com pelb d to pull the train out in the direction of Knoxville. The stockade was t lien burned to the ground. Arriving at Clinton, permission was obtained irom the railway -,flicials to bring the convicts to this city. The train, which was the only oine iii or out for twenty-tour hours, arrived in Knox ville about 3 o'clock, and was soon sur rounded by an itnmense throng of the curious. A special train left the station at 5 p m.. taking the convicts to the main prison at Nashville. Four con victs iscaped between Oliver and this city. Con-unicat ion with Coal Creck was res'orcd this aftrnoun. Tho line was no sooner t upened ihan the miners took peaceable possessiun of the Aolice at Coal Creek, and to prevent ti dis patch of regular busitss they filed thousands of words (of im-at.tvr. Tliey paid for all im ssagcs at, regular rates, and the company could not refmse them. The minmrs lave two or ibree operators employed, ai. it is utterly impossible to get a message through with anything like accuracy or se(l. Last night's fight at Oliver Springs was a desperate affair. Seveinteen hundred miners attackt(d the stockade. The t roops there had been reinforced by the military company from Chatta nooga, and offt red a stubborn resis tance. According to the hebt, informa tion obtainable, twelve men were Killed and twenty wouidled inl the engage ment. Alter an hours fighting, the military, heing greatly outnumbered, surrendered. They were placed ider guard, and, with the conviets, were marche.1 toward Ktioxville. ''he %i res are cut and communication is mitelta ble. A mass meetIing of iiinem s wats held at Coal Cret k tins morn ig, at whh-'h ii, was resolved to at. ack the stockade at that point and drive oil thte conviets and soldiers. Thie Kn ox ville (!.)inplanies of militia aire stationied at liainum, and1 will await rein forcements before attemnpting to do anythinug. A disp~atchi frotu Chiattalnoga says that 3,000J men have vohintoeen d as miilitia and wtill go to Coal Cret k this aufternioon. Threats of lynchm xg Go'vernor liichanan', it lie venturi- into this see tion, are f: ccly madie. Tlhe Golvernor is still "wait ing for tievt lopmnenI s."

ItussF.is, August 13.-Great excite ient prevails today in Oitend over a ynaiite outrage that has resulted in liree persons being fatally injured. itend is the favoritesuimer resort for ie Bolgiat aristocracy. The King of lie Belgians has a summer residence nd v isits the baths; and other summer ttractions include nobility from all arts of' 1:urope, anid especially from ,ussia, whoso leading families make stend their favorite resort on the estern shores of Europ- . The old aiser W.ilhelm of Gerimany also was i equent visitor to Ostend. At Present stend is thronged with viitors. One C the most aristocratic resorts is the ade dui Prince, called after the late rinco Consort ot England, and much eilui-uted by English sojourners as 'ch a-, by Russians and Germms. To iy wile a inmber of peoplo were in to Cafe,a dynamite cartridge exploded ndei ore of the windows. The force r tht ex plosion was territle. Tne cafp 'as wrocked, the windows shattere, i1 tables broken and plates and glassos nashed and hurled about the room. 1veril persons in the cafe were hit by le Ilying missiles and three were fa illy injured. The specta,-le was the tost hiorrible ever seen in Ostend. People came running out from the ife, t heir faces streaming with blood, IdIng to the dismay and terror of the ishionable throng that had gathered ; th sound of the explosion. The po ce rushed in and found several per )ms lying in the wreck with serious 'ounds, one of thei. unconscious, and iother almost dead, owing to the co ious [low of blood from a gash in his )mple. The wounded were at once )nveyed to the hospital or their stop ing places, and efforts were made to icertain who was guilty of the crime. 'here was very little left of the dyna ite cart ridge, but the police were able > locate where it had been placed. So ir, however, they are without any re able clue as to the criminal. Two ersons of suspicious appearance ar ived in Ostend from Paris in the early art of the week and were shadowed by lie police who suspected them of being hieves or swindlers. They paid their iay and as they did not do anything c justity arrest they were not molest d. They are now missing. It Is hought that perhaps they were anar hists, and perpetrated the outrage in evenge for the severe penalties recent y imposed on l1elgian anarchists. The mitrage has caused such dismay among he visitors at Ostend t,hat a number if them have given notice of their in ention to go elsewhere, as they fear his is but. the beginning of a series of utrages, aimed at the wealthy class, ,'ho frequient the resort.
