?Reliable information from East Tennes?
see proves, that the young man Baker,
who was hung by the mob of citizens and
BQldiers, was first assailed by Hall, whom
he killed. The mob was the logical, con
sequoncc of the evil teachings of Qover-"
nor Brownlow. A spirit of lawlessness
? and cruelty prevails in that section, arid
Gen. Stonoman declares that ho' cannot
suppress it so long as it is encouraged by
the Executive of the State. Tho nogro
soldiers have been killing whit.3 persons,
and have become so insolent in their bear?
ing that even Governor Brownlow calls
for their removal
,The life of ex-Governor Brown, of
Georgia, was threatened on his arrival at
Knoxville, Tennessee, ono day last week,
by some-railroad employees, who charged
that ho had issued an order last year for
? the hanging of every railroad porson
found in the employment of the United
States. A similar scene, in a more^ vio?
lent form, was enacted on the arrival of
Gov. Brown at Chattanooga. The mili?
tary interfered, protected the Governor,'
and quelled the disturbance.
The court martial in the case of Lieut.
Col.'A. L. Thomas, late Chief Quarter?
master of the Eifth Corps, have concluded
? their Tabors, but the decision has not been
' promulgated. The specifications allege
.that Col. Thomas, during the month of
May, of tho present year, while acting as
a disbursing officer of the United States,
frequented a gambling house on Pennsyl?
vania a-venue, in Washington city, and
played faro, -and lost the sum of about
seventeen "hundred dollars Government
funds in his hands, and for which he was
accountable aj3 such disbursing officer;
? and .further, that having been lawfully
commanded by hjs superior officer, Brevet
? Major General M. C. Meigs, lo transfer
without delay all the public fuuds in his
- hands to Captain H. B. Lacy, A. Q. M.,
he disobeyed tho order and neglected to
comply with it*
President Johnson has granted a full
pardon to tho Rev. H E. Johnson of
Chesterfield, who, upon trial before a mil?
itary court for taking the life of a United
States soldier, was senteiiced^gsome two
or three months ago, to imprisonment fijr
life: which sentence was modified by
Genoral Levens to imprisonment for a
.. term of five years. It will be remembor
cd that Mr. Johnson-, having reason to
believe that his promises wero. invaded
and his garden being robbed, at night,
went out and fired his gun in the dark,
. the shot from which took effect upon tho
body of a robber, and cost him his life.
This was the offense.
The Cincinnatti. Gazette learns, on the
most reliable authority, that the reports
circulated by the Eastern press relative
to the speedy trial of Jefferson Davis,
and Chief Justice Chase's connection with
it, are unfounded. Tt sa}*s the Chief Jus?
tice has very properly declined all confer?
ence on the subject, and it is not at all
likely that he will hold any Court in Vir
. ginia or North Carolina, until after Con?
gress shall have had an opportunity of
legislating in regard to the Circuits in the
rebel Suites. * ?
Miss Ann Farroll, a young Jadj- of Co
hxmbus, Bartholomew Co*unty, Indiana,
was riding in a buggy with a gentleman,
on ^Saturday last,' whon the horso ran
away. The young lady tried to jump out,
but hor hoops caught on the buggy-and
she was dragged about half a mile. The
horse then ran into a- mill race and tho
young lady was drowned.
John P. Heiss, formerly of the New
Orleans Delta died recently in Nicaragua.
He was apartner of Thomas Ritchie in
the Washington Uvion, and some years

Pampero, which he sold to the friends of
General Lopez for servieo in the so-called
Cuban ospedition.
The Illinois papers abound in accounts
of iriurders and outrages of the most fla?
grant nature, quito equal in atrocity and
as numerous as the accounts we havo
from any of the Northern or Southwes?
tern. States. Most of them appear to
have been perpetrated by. returned sol?
diers, or by the foreign immigrant popu?
lation!

A great conflagration occurred! ini Au?

Trial of Wirz.
The military court in Washington en?
gaged in trying the Andersonvillo prison
keeper, resumed proceedings in the case
on the 19th inst., after an unavoidable va?
cation-, owirtg to tho illness of tho accusod,
of an entiro. week. After concurrence
between the Judge Advocate and Wirz's
counsel and a secret deliberation of the
court, in regard to the Government fur?
nishing time and moans to summon addi?
tional witnessos for the defence from the
Southern States, it was decided, that sub?
poenas for tho desired persons should be
issued and sent to the military command?
ants in whoso departments they are sup?
posed to reside. Tho taking of ovidonce
was then continued, and a number of wit?
nesses, including both .thoso who had
boon in the national and rebel service,
were examined, adding to the testimony
herotofore elicited regarding the cruelty
and inhumanity of Wirz, tho .sufferings
and tortures of the prison pen. tho hunt?
ing and-tearing of fugitives by hounas,
tho starvation, tho punishments of the
chain gan?c and. the shooting of men at the
dead line. Major N03-CS, who arrested
Wirz at his home in Georgia, testified that
he was not authorized b}- General Wilson
?to give the prisoner any promise that ho
should not bo prosecuted for his conduct
at the prison, and he did not .think that
he gavo any such promise. Captain
Moore, Who superintended the fitting up
of-the grave-yard at Andersonvillo re?
cently, and marking tho graves of the na?
tional soldiers who died in the prison, tes?
tified that the number of burials was
twelve thousand nine hundred and twelve,
and that the dead bodies were placed
closely together in trencl-.es from one
hundred to two bundreel yards long.
The most important testimony adduced
before-the Wirz conrt martial yesterday,'
says the "Sow York Herald of the 23rd,
was that of Drs. F. S. Hopkins und G. L.
Rice, two of tlic rebel medical men who
were on duty at the Andersonvillo prison
hospital. Dr. Hopkins read a report on
the condition of the prison and hospital,
which he had prepared and submitted to
General Winder, after receiving instruc?
tions' to make a complete inspection. He
found the causes of the great mortality
and the alarming prevalence of disease to
be the crowded state of the pen", thc^ ab?
sence of proper or sufficient food cand
medicine and all facilities for cleanliness,"
want of wood, water and clothing and of
shelter from heat and cold, and the filthy
nnd poisonous condition of ti c prison.
Dr. Hopkins suggested lcmcdics for all
these evils, but no attention was ever
given to his report. An order of General
Winder to Dr. H. was submitted, showing
that tho Richmond authorities Avero cog
'nizapt of the evils, and that Winder had
authority to abate them. Tho Doctor
said it was the implicitconfidencc Winder
had in Wirz which caused the horrible
state of things to exist. Dr. Rico gave
evidence in regard to the terrible condi?
tion of the prison pen, and the dying of
men from' starvation, cold, hunger and
other causes. Tho testimony of other
witnesses to the same effect was also
taken.
The proceedings were closed yesterday
amidst a somewhat exciting scene. Wirz,
who, owing to his weak condition, has for
some days, past reclined on a couch while
in the court room, was requested to rise
for tho purpose of being identified by a
witness wlio had been testifying to cases
of murder and brutality on his part.
When the -witness said "That is the
man," Wirz glared at him fiercely and
made efforts to contradict him, being si?
lenced with difficulty, and was so over?
come by "his excitement and passion that
he sank exhausted and almost lifeless.
Measures were immediately taken to re?
suscitate him, the court adjourned,' and
the room was cleared of spect^ jrs. It is
thought that the accused cannot live to
see the conclusion of the trial.
Washington, Sept. 23.?The Wirz mili?
tary commission re-assembled this morn?
ing. Capt. Wirz immediately after being
brought in the room laid down on a sofa,
still too weak to sit up.
Geo. W. Gray, whose testimony towards
tho close of the proceedings yesterday
oaused tho prisoner so much distress, was
cross-examined to-claj-. in reply to a ques?
tion by Mr. Shobc. He believed in pun?
ishment after death. When he arrived at
Andersonvillo a prisoner, his pocket bock
and cavalry coat were taken from him,
his boots had been removed from his feet
at the time of capture. Tho witness gavo
an affecting account of the suffering of the
prisoners.

Owing to the financial straights to
which a majority, of the Southern people
havo fonnd themselves reduced now that
the war is ended, to their want of infor?
mation in regard to the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Laws, and for other
roasons, the Secretary ot tho Treasury
has ordered that all articles in the lately
rebellious States which .can bo shown to

Southerners in Washington.
The general deportment of Southerners
in "Washington is thus set forth in a letter
to the New York World. It will be seen
their bearing is Buch as characterises a
high-toned, chivalrous peoplo:
Serious, with an air of resignation in
their faces which docs not exclude viva?
city, dignified without haughtiness, re?
served but not taciturn, the prodigal chil?
dren of the Union come back home, if not
entirely converted, with the best intention
at least to be faithful to their pledge, and
to live in peace with tho government.
The hotel-at which I put up was'fillcd
with families from the South, coming here
with the avowed intention of obtaining
their pardon from the President. The
men looked grave, the women sad; the
children surprised and almost bewildered
to sec themselves in such a place. Most
of those I saw were in mourning. At
breakfast or dinner they ate solemnly
and almost without exchanging a word.
It was evident from their manners that
they belonged to what was formerly call?
ed the aristocracy of the South. Their
manners were easy**and simple, without
any mixture, of stiffness and constraint
which you meet wit h so frequently among
npstarts. Cool, reserved and modest, they
speak very little, go straight-forward to
their business without looking either to
tho right or to the left, like people who
are in haste to leave the city, or go home.
In the President's ante-room, where I met
several, and among them a few members
?of the Confederate Congress, they stood
in corners or out of doors, with a news?
paper in their hands, communicating with
no one, and acting pretty nearly as if they
were prisoners.of war, and had lost the
right of speaking their minds. The ladies
copy and even exaggerate-tho reserve of
the men. They remain most of the time
confined to their rooms, never go down to
the parlor, and when they leave the hotel,"
Which is very rare, it is for a visit to some
friends, or to exchange civilities with
Southern families in 6omo other hotel.
The only time I saw Southern ladies de?
part from their silent and reserved atti?
tude was when the}' addressed the Presi?
dent in .behalf of their sons and husbands.
On that occasion their timidity vanished;
they became bold, and, with truo elo?
quence, tried to awaken the sympathies
Of the Chief Magistrate. The impassibility
of the President and his apparent coolness
did not aocm to make them flinch; they
renewed their entreaties with greater
spirit and force, and did hot leave the
ground un til thev had cither carried their
point or hoped to carry it.

by his much loved Julia, bearing the name
of AppTcton. This is all the family of
Daniel Webster. The stay of the house,
or of its name, is Ashburton. Whether
he, with his limited resources, will bo

N0ETHEENSENTIMENT TOWAEDS THE SOUTH.
The Northern press and people have scarcely
imitated the magnanimity and generous action of
President. Johnson. With few exceptions, so far
as we hare seen, the expression of conciliation is
not prevalent. It seems to be quite popular to
complain loudly of a waut of Union sentiment in
this region, and declare that the fires of rebellion
arc not extinguished, but only reposing in slumber?
ing embers, ready to break forth ?Uli renewed
fury when it reaches any thing combustible. In
justice, however, to the'men who met the Confed?
erate armies in battle, we must place them among
that class who are not clamorous on this subject.
They know full well the honest tenacity of purpose
which iactuated the rank and file in defending
to the last extremity those, principles in which we
had been tutored and reared from -earliest infancy:
and having this knowledge, gained *>y intercourse
with Southern solJi;ers, they are far from being
vituperative or imbued with undue hatred and re?
venge. Yet we must remember that the large ma?
jority of the Northern masses kept out of harm's
way, and especially those who mould public senti?
ment?the editors, politicians and preachers?and
it is to these leading classes of the community and
their satellites that we refer. Neither do we think
it strange that those in the North who were least
belligerent in action during the war should now
become intensified with the spirit *of oppression
and radical hatred. As they escaped the perils of
the battle-fieid, because of timidity in that particu?
lar line of duty, they feel it incumbent upon them?
selves to relieve th? fighting population from any
further trouble am! assume th* task of driving the
people of the South to tbe wall. This is the vir?
tuous share of the work in crushing out the spirit
of rebellion, which they declare to bo yet in ex?
istence.
The President, on the other hand, has firmly
adhered to the principles enunciated in the earliest
days of Lis administration.. Tic knows the people
South?was raised among them, and by a respecta?
ble portion of that people was elevated to position
and power and influence. Imbued with a sense of
justice, ho has accepted the profession sof loyalty
'and submission made by the newspapers and pub?
lic men, who are best acquainted with the real in?
tentions and purposes of their constituency. He
lias ^strenuously opposed the wrong and upheld the
rieht. His face is set against the machinations
and threats of the fire-eatjng radicals and the se?
vere tests to which they would subject Southern
sentiment. It is equally true that tho President
has rigidly required the adherence of the States
lately in revolt to the furtherance of those measures
which he deems of vital importance to their resto?
ration as co-equals in the Union. Of this we can?
not complain. ; The overthrow of slavery was de?
creed by the failure of the Confederacy, and the
South has accepted it as the leading penalty of its
action. Further than this, President Johnson has
not exacted of the.South, save in South Carolina,
v.l.ose peculiar State Government has always been
;discussed even within her awn borders. Negro
suffrage, and other questions of domestic policy,
are not matters ^for dictation, as the President,
thinks. Only so much is required as will bring
back the States on the same footing'as those which
have never recognized involuntary servitude. For
his consistency ar.d firmness, i lie President-deserves
remembrance and gratitude, when it is recollected
that there are hundreds of influential men mid
prominent journals daily pleading in behalf of ex?
treme measures, and hourly demanding that the
Scuth should lie dealt witli in a more summary nnd
vicious manner.
With the action of each Slatp, by a Convention
of her people", declaring slavery forever abolished
and making a.-Constitution in accordance, there?
with, the President will havo a substantial basis
up"on which to "meet this sentiment in the North,
which has threatened .^largely to interfere with
his power and privileges. Th% conservative party
will be built up on the downfall of the radical ex?
tremists, ar.d the American people will become
once more united. The wisdom, firmness and un
conqncrablc resolution of Andrew Johnson, in
connection with the good sense and judgment of
tlie Southern people.iu accepting with dignity and
good faith their position, will have .accomplished
thq result.
- IMMENSE EXCITEMENT.
Almost cvory day; beneath - our office, there is a
hubbub and noise calculated to awaken fears of a
riot and consequent disturbance of the peace." And
when quietly endeavoring to prepare food for-the
intellectual appetite of the public, we are fre?
quently interrupted-in our thoughts and mental
employment by this undue excitement of the peo?
ple. What in the name of common sense is the
matter? Is the public mind diseased, disordered,
and ready to rush headlong to fanaticism and an?
archy ? " Robert," (that's our rferj'/,) '? go imme?
diately down- stairs and ascertain what all this
row's about! " It is impossible to hear one's cars,
while such an infernal jargon is kept up below.
But buk! there comes the mollifluous .-cincls of
female voices?perhaps our " Maliniia J.vxe," the
dear adorable, is amongst the many who arc seek?
ing to be heard. But here comes the " devil," and
we'll hear his report. " It's only the people going
into Mr. SuaRPR's store, sir, tosee hisncwgoods!"
?What! that man Suarpl* has conic back from New
York nnd set up under our very nose. He'll be
the death of us?all tho folks rushing to see what
he bought in Yankee land, asking a thousand
questions in. cvory style of voice, from tbe soft so?
prano to the deep-toned base. We protest against
the innovation upon our peace and quietude.
Sharps must move his attractive stock of goods
and take himself away from our vicinity, else we
shall be compelled to abandon the sanctum and
beat an inglorious retreat. But, in the meantime,
wc shall inspect the stock ourselves, and try to find
something to give the aforesaid Malixda on her
approaching birth-day.
P. S.?Since writing the above, Shabpe has sent
us au advertisement, as if he is not satisfied with
the already crowded condition of his establishment.
Of course, everybody knows the fact now that he
has goods, and everybody- will come to town and
bring all their cousins, uncles, aunts, and kinsfolk

interests of the. State in reference to abandoned
lands, pardons, &c, and he has been pleased to
confide that duty to me. It would" not be proper
that I should delay the discharge of that duty sun?
ply' for the pui po.?e of securing votes for myself.
But at the last election, with a kindness I can nev?
er forget,'you honored me, then almost a stranger,
with the ri.fvcscn.tat ion of this District.-*dly re?
sponsibility was soon ended, for directly after the
close of the first session of the legislature the
military occupation* of the State destroyed all civ?
il government. I trust, however, that nothing" oc- ?
currcd in Lhc short term of our' p^irtical connec?
tion to diminish the confidence and the kindness
you >hcu manifested. Between that period and
this time when wc hope to resume the privileges of
our citizenship, great changes have taken place.
We have failtfd in an attempt which wc may regret,
but which we cannot disown, nowever bitter has
been our experience it. is not ??without its worth-? ?
however enormous the treasure- we have expen?
ded, let us hope that it will boar interest in the
future, and rich and copious as was the precious
blood wc have shed,' it has dyed the record of our
contest with a crimson glory that time cannot
darken. Our children will read tire story with
sadness but not with shame. But if we have met
our defeat like brave men, let us use it as wise
ones. The State itself which separated us from .
the Union has replaced us under the authority of
the old government. If we were bound to obey ?
then, so uie we bound to obey now. The Suite
has recognized the emancipation of the ne?ro, and
if we discharged our duty to the slave then, s<f
should we dischargo-our duty to the frecdman now.
In adjusting the legislation of theHBtate to the new
condition of things there will be much difficulty.
I can only say, that, if olected, I will endeavor to
discharge my duty upon these principles:
1. " That tho State must expect to achieve its fu?
ture prosperity by harmonizing its interests with
those of tho whole Union, and placing her in
cordial relation with .the sentiment of what is
again a common country.
2. That our system of slave labor is abolishsd
forever, but (hat it is our duty as the superior ,
race to maintain that superiorityf to legislate .
firmly, but kindly apd justly, in reference to the
now relations which this change has established,
and for the interest both of the freedman ami the
?State to re-establish as soon as possiblcthe syste- 1
matic development of free la'ior.
3. That whore'it is.the duty of the Legislature
to maintain with the most scrupulous care thepuh.
lie and private credit of the State, and to impr?'sj?
upon our people the vital necessity to their exist?
ence as a rocioty of a sacred respect for the obli?
gation of contacts, yet it.is equally the dir* of the
Legislature iu tho present, impoverished and di*
? tressed condition of the people to take care.that
justice is not abus?*I '}'..**? oppression, and to pro>
vidc lhat*lhe collection of debt? shal], be made
gradually, and with due regard both to -the claim
of the creditor aud the coudition and .n-ecssity -of .
;ho dcl.ior. W.U. HENRY TltKSCOT.
TO THE VOTERS OF- ANDERSON DISTRICT.
In accepting flic-nomination as & candidate to
represent the people of Anderson District in the
next Legislature, I decmit a fit occasion loaddrosa
a few. words to those who have heretofore- so gen?
erously sustained me in every undertaking of my
! life. Coming amongst you an entire stranger and
quite youthful in age and experience, I was taken ?
! cordially by the hand and met warm, substan'iai
: friends everywhere. Five years ago" some were
; partial enough to present my nniue,for the position
? '' of:Legislator; I then declined the intended honor
because of the belief that my extreme youth did"
not-warrrt.nl thepartitilily. Efghtccn months si'.icc
I was ag.-yn sinMi-'y solicited fo become a candi?
date. At" that time I was in the service of our
country, ami.felt unwilling to devote even a poriiou
of my time to oilier duties than those of a sol..'.i;r,
striving in an humble capnoity to effect the ooject
wc nil'desired to obtain, to wit, our political inde?
pendence. And now the'favor nnd friendship of
those who-hu re been associated'with mein the try- .
ing scenes of the past few ycarsv encersed by older -
and more mature persons, again uiges an acecp
lance of the nomination. Under these circumat.nu
:es, 1 have not allowed myself to .hesitate in tho
conclusion to give the use of my name forthat pur-,
pose. If electee1,' it shall be tho carm-st cfi'u"! of alB
? the ability I possess to represent the interests 6*
' the people among whom ray lot has been cast; onol
should failure attend tJic consumtnation of tha't de
' sire, most assircdlv the result will not proceed
from any neglect or indifference to the welfare ef
our section and State. The next Legislature wilT
undoubtedly prove of vast importance in its delibe?
rations. ? Serious chi.ngcs arc to be inaugurated?
and, per.'ccted, through the wisdom of that body, iu
lhc domestic policy of our commonwealth. And:
while it should be the unremitting care of the Rep?
resentative to shape that, policy in accordance with,
our new relations to the General Government, I
would strenuously oppose whatever may tend to>
radicalism and unbridled democracy, aud seek t?
advance the prosperity and happiness of a people
who have-proven themselves, in an eraincnt.de
grcc, brave, devoted and steadfast to principle and
honor.
With these brief and general remarks, I subnit ?
the dec-sion upon my merits to the intelligent con?
stituency of Anderson District.

.questions will come before, it, nnd the people*

of us suggest, for the consideration of our fellow
citizens, the following ticket.
