Dates from Nashville of the 6th SffyS John Trimble, candidate for Con? gress, and two candidates for tho State Legislature, all radicals, had ai appointment to speak yesterday at Franklin, "Williamson County. A large number of persons-white and black-assembled; among the latter, members of a loyal league, about eighty in number, who paraded the streets in rogalia, with a baud of music, and armed-in some instances, firing a salute. Tho candidates wore heard without interruption. Subse? quently, however, Trimble, when not present, was denounced on tho public square, and ono of tho legislative candidates badgered for something he had said. Muoh excitement arose, and symptoms of ill-feeling between somo of the whites and . colored leaguers were developed. Tho leaguers retired in bad humor to a grove, where they were followed by a son of Dr. Cline, who, iu a con? ciliatory address, advised them to disperse. They agreed to do this, and marched back to their hall. 13y this time, night came on, ami after stowing away their regalia, ?fcc, they left the hall and returned to the pub? lic square, where a collision imme? diately occurred. It is alleged that they were fired on by a party of white and colored conservatives-a man named Cady, a livery stable keeper, firing the first shot. Tho fire was instantly returned. The affair lasted but a few moments hali a minute, perhaps. There ap? peared to be a volley in attack, and a scattering reply, resulting in tho f death of Cady, who was shot through the heart, and the wounding of eight whites and eighteen blacks. Three of tho latter fare mortally wounded. Somo of the wounded blacks are conservatives. Tho radical blacks wero much exasperated, and threat? ened to return and renew tho fight, but Dr. Cliffe interposed and pre? vailed upon them to desist. An official investigation will be necessary to fix the responsibility for this mur? derous affair. It was apprehended that the difficulty would be renewed to-day, but all is quiet. A company of the 45th Regiment left this place this morning fer Frauklin, to main? tain quiet. The affair is deplored bj' all parties. A despatch, dated 8th, says: Gov. Brownlow's proclamation ap? peared this morning. It commands the commissioners of registration to appoint clerks and judges of election; commands the sheriffs to open and hold elections on thc first Thursday in August, and to mako returns as vouched for by tho said clerks and judges; instructs the dorks and judges to make out and report sepa? rate poll-books, record votes, and send them io tho Executive and State Departments as a provisiou against neglect or death on tho part of tho sheriff. Ht? concludes by ordering com? manders of tho State Guard to arrest Judge Gant, Chairman of tho Cou servative Central Committee, or any of tho said committee or agents, if they shall persist in their efforts to defeat tho oxecution of the franchise law as construed by him, and also to break up and disperso all assemblies having in view tho holding of illegal elections or tho defeat of any regular election. Judge Gant and tho Central Con? servative Committee lind previously withdrawn their recommendation to County courts to appoint judges and dorks of eloctions, and advised all to conform to the Governor's construc? tion of the franchise law, though be? lieving it wrong. No collision is likely to grow ont of this subject. Tho Chicago Journal knows of one firm in Southern Illinois whioh sold, the present season, in six Counties, 40G new reaping machines. The Condition of the South. Wo extract tho following from an article in the New York Herald, of the 9th, commenting on the state of nffairs in Tennessee: Intelligent men, detailed from this office, who have recently canvassed the Southern States for information touching their material, social and political situation, report that Ten? nessee to-day is by far in the most disorderly, confused and turbulent condition of any of tho States con? cerned in the rebellion, and that Ten? nessee and Kentucky, of all tho late slave States, are moBt in need of Con? gressional reconstruction from top to bottom. Tho ono is so excessively radical in its State administration, as to call for the intervention of Con? gress, and the other is so excessively State rights as to be nothing better than a chi]) of the old block of the Southern Confederacy. Tlie duty, therefore, devolving upon Congress, of "guaranteeing to each State a Republican form of Go? vernment," would seem to demand some positive legislation in behalf of Tennessee and Kentucky, and, out? side of their borders, wo dare say there will be but little complaint should Congress dovetail them in the new bill of Southern reconstruction. Meantime, it will be perceived, from an inflammatory Jacobin speech by n negro doctor of divinity-tho Row Lewis Lindsay-at Mudwall, in Vir? ginia, that the idea of enforcing so? cial equality is getting into the heads of tho Southern blacks. Their repre? sentatives on tho stump have recently, in various places South, been harp? ing on tho stiling of confiscation and freo farms; but in striking that bolder note of enforcing negro social equal? ity, the Rev. Lewis Lindsay is touch? ing moro emphatically the sanguinary music of St. Domingo. In : i' these manifestations from tho Southern blacks, and in the opposing spirit of tho whites, wo can seo only, if left to themselves, the gathering elements of a reign oi terror and o war of races; and a war of extermination, too, in tho South. How is this to bo prevented? Look? ing at the persecutions of the negroes in the unreconstructed Sta*.e of Ken? tucky, and at the proscriptions nnd prosecutions against rebels in the J only half reconstructed ?State of Ten? nessee, we think tho ten excluded States have reason to bo thankful that they aro under the powerful protec? tion of Congress and tho army of the United States, and absolutely under their control. It is only by the mili? tary governments, too, of the five Southern districts that tho States em? braced therein can bo saved from that conflict of races which is now fore? shadowed in the political organiza? tions of their whites and blacks against each other. The military commanders over these districts, with their ampio discretion and means for enforcing law and order, will be able to maintain thc ponce in suppressing all disturbers, whites or blacks, until the people of both races, in every State concerned, aro brought to that degree of harmony which will justify the full restoration of their State au? thorities. For. A CONVENTION.-The Carolina Spartan closes au editorial with the following paragraph : "Wert; wo all united ill favor of a convention-were we nil to go to the ballot-box, accompanied bj those over whom we had previously exer? cised a laudable and just persuasion, and being also faithfully supported by the outside exertions of our ho? nored, but disfranchised citizens such tuen could be elected to a con? vention as would fulfill tho require? ments of the .Congressional Acts and restore peace to tho country. In or? dinary times, wo might stop to con rnilt our dignity and the finer feelings of our nature, but this is a timo of great peril to our wives and our chil? dren, and if we stand aloof now and suffer the negroes and their coadju? tors to organize a government for the State, wo commit tho fate of those wo lovo most in this world into the hands of an ignorant people, led on by the brutal passions of bad white men. Impressed with the magnitude of coming events-portentous, in? deed, of great suffering and trouble wo again call our readers to a timely aud serious reflection on tho eonse ?nonces of indifference or apathy, t appears to us that not to voto at till is equivalent to voting against the South." CONTRAIUES.-Pooplo say they shell peas when they unshell them; that they husk corn when they unhusk it; that thoy dust furniture when they nndnst it, or take dust froni it; that they skin a calf when they un skin it; and that they scale fishes when they unscale them. Many men say that they are going to weed their gardens, whon their gardens are weedy enongh already. SPECIAL NOTICES. PAXi?xiX'S HEPATIC BITTERS are rapidly gaining in publie esteem.

GRATED 1 XATIOXAL EXTERTAl\ME\T, For tho Benefit of tho LABIES' SOeiETY In Aid of thc Suffering and Destitute Poor of the South, Will take place In Washington, D. 0., August 1, '67. 1MIE "Ladies' Society in aid of tho Suf . fcriug and Dostituto Poor of tho South" would respectfully and earnestly call thc attention of tho generous Northern public to thc great distress and fearful suffering now prevailing in tho Southern States, letters aro daily rccoived from tho South, from tho Generals Commanding, Govern? ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur? nishing the most hoart-ronding details of tho actual want, famine and starvation iu then immediato neighborhood. Thc fol? lowing fow extracts irom tho very many letters received by tho Secretary and Ma? nagers of tho Society are respectfully re? ferred to: H'DQT'ARTERS, 4m MILITANT DlST., (Mississivn AND ARKANSAS,) VICKSBURG, Miss., May 13, 1867. I am glad to seo that tho attention of thc gentle and humano ladies of tho North is being turned towards tho sad and dosolato condition of thia onco happy land. You, Madam, surrounded with thoplenty and comforts of a woalthy city, can scarcely appreciate tho fact that, in many parts of tho South, whole cuiuuiuuilies ruo, by u failuro in crops' and tho absence of money or its equivalen!., lei'!: ra want of tho neces? saries oi life; aud that poor women, with largo families of helpless children, so ac? customed to (Upend on tho labor of others, that now, with no husband, brother or servant to help, and no money, they do not know what to do or whero togo for food; but aro left in tho sohtudos of these South? ern forests, in raga and gaunt with hunger, subsisting on what the mother or lurger children can shoot or pick un in tho wood, or on what thc low neighbors, nearly as poor as they aro, can bring them. Officers of my acquaintance have met with such mothers, long alter dark, ont in the wood?, with un old gun just fired, and tlie coon or possum just killed; have gone homo with them and met tho group of littlo starvelings waiting patiently mother's re? turn with some of the only sort of food they had tasted for weeks; and women and children have been found within sixty miles of tho capital of a Southern State, during tho past year, who had starved to death in thoir louesomo cabins. These cuses of ^rcat distress aro rare in Southern cities, for there, even the most delicately bred can generally find soino work which they can do to keep thc wolf from the door: but tho fa rain or. plantation- in tho South aro pe? culiarly secluded, with miles of forest or swamp" between them, poor roads, and thc stock and animals nearly all taken by tho war, the famine, tho lloods, or tho thieves, who in such times infest a country, and the distressed families are often, by the time necessity makes them want to leave, too sick to travel on foot, and there is no other way to go. Y'oin propose* .e. ainment, Madam, should it produce " funds enough to re? lievo a small tract of tho destitution of this corni try, will bo a good beginning, and maybe followed in other cities North by similar appeals to people who have happily never felt thc desolation and tho horrors which follow in tho tracks of great armies of invasion. God speed your society in tho good work, ia the wish ol'. Madam, yours truly, E. 0. C. ORD, Breve' Major-General. HEADQUARTERS, FIRST MILITARY DIVISION, BlCHMOND, YA., May ll, 18?7. Mrs. JIarlotce Matin r-MY DEAR MADAM: I shall be too glad if anything I can Bay will aid tho society in its nobio work. ? large proportion of the people of the South have suffered and many are still suffering almost to thc limit of endurance from the devastation of war and mibsequent failure of crops. They arc making every possible exertion to revive their various branches of industry and become self-supporting. The liberal u^istaiiCc which thc Northern people aro well able to give, will relieve :i great amount of distress, and will no doubt be sufficient to place the poor of the Routh beyond further Buffering for food. Tho recent manifestations of an alaiost un or sal desire throughout the South fora rt Uv ? fraternal re-union with tho North, may wAl Herve to stimulate the generous sympathies of tho Xorthcrnpeonle, while nothing could do more to foster ?md encourage tho growth ol' a healthy gentiment in the South than tho generous aid which it ia the mission of your nociety to invoke. I sincerely hope the noble efforts of the society may result in t!ie most abundant success." 1 tun, dear Madam, very respectfully, vour obcdionl : servant, J. M. SCHOFIELD, Maj.'Geo. I HINDQUARTERS, SECOND MILITARY DIVISION, CHARLESTON, S. C., May 13, I^LM. The excellent purpose yon have in view cannot be too much commended. Tho lib? erality of the Government of the United States, and the munificent contributions already made for thu relief of thc wide? spread destitution in the States, leaves great numbers unprovided with food and clothing. And until au abundant harvest enables the people bern to do more for themselves, I trust the over gent rous and prosperous committees of the North will , continuo their noble gifts to this imp ivor- j ished and afflicted population. With my I best wishes for tho success of your under taking, I remain, .Madam, verv respectful? ly, DANIEL E. SICKLES, Commanding Second Military District. COLUMBIA, S. C., May 10,1SG7. Permit mo not only to give you tho as? surance of my poor help in this your gen? erous endeavor to reliove our impoverished and unhappy people, bnt to express to you in their behalt, that gratitudo which is so eminently your due for tho generous sym ! pathy manifested by your organization for thoao among us in distress. Wishing yon God speed in your noble work, I am. Ma? dam, very respectfully, yonr obedient ser? vant, "JAMES L. OUR, GovernorSouth Carolina. GREENSBORO, May 14, 1867. Have just returned from a tour through the section made memorable by "Sher? man's march to. tho ?eaboard." Poverty, suffering and destitution of tho people can scarcely he realized-living in huts, rudely constructed of charred boards, of rails, boughs and mud, you are met by uollow eyed, emaciated forms, whoso first words aro "bread"-for something to stifle tho cravings of hunger. In cue place, I wit? nessed tho bodv of a child borne to its last rest, on aboard, in tho same raes in which it died. In another, four females existed for a week on two pounds of conj, together with some roots. On tho road, I met an othor who had walked twelve miles to beg some food for her children. Many other instances can bo given of sad suffering from actual want of food. Verv truly, FREDERICK WATTS, M.* D. Tho public have already responded noblv to the call, but not to the extent reqnired to koep star* atiou from making victims <f many. Additional funds must bo raised at once; tho caso is urgent. Tho Lady Ma? nagers, after mature deliberation, havo decided to bring it before tho generous Scopie of the North, by giving a Grand ational Entertainment, trusting to their activo co-operation and sympathizing aid for tho immediate supply of means to on ablo them to purchase and forward food to starving thousands. The Grand Na? tional Entertainment will bo given at Washington, D. C., August 1,1807. 300,000 tickets will bo offered for salo, at $2 each. Every ticket will be entitled to an award, which will take place at thc same time. Half of tho amount will bo in valuable awards to the holders, and tho balance soil be devoted at once by the Lady Managers to purchasing food to bo sent South for immodiato distribution among tho moBt needy. Tho Lady Managers have entered into an arrangement with Messrs.
