A Tennessee Vendetta.
A correspondent at Elizabcthtown,
^ Carter county, Tennessee, gives us
particulars of a terrible feud that
lias been raging for twenty years between
two families of that county,
and which was brought to an end bv
bloody deaths of the sole surviving
males of the" warring tribes, in the I
streets of Elizabethtown, on the eve- j
ning of the 5th instant. The history ;
of the affair, as detailed by the correspondent,
is as follows:
"In the fall of 1840 a family nain-ed
Johnstone removed from the neighboring
county of Wautauga, Nprth
Carolina, into Carter county, East
Tennessee, and settled down in the
neighborhood of another family named
Rogers. Johnstone, who appeared
' to be an energetic, industrious man,
immediately went to work at clearing
up a little farm. In this labor he
was assisted by two sons?both mere
lads. While the three were engaged
in erecting fencing about tlicir patch
of land, Rogers rode up to~wherc they
were at work, one day, and laid claim
to a pile of rails, about a dozen in
number. This claim Johnstone disputed,
and finally on Rogers applying
to him the epithets of "liar" and
"thief," the North Carolinian pulled
him from his horse, and administered
to him a severe chastisement- with his
fists. Rourrcrs went off vowing ven%
geance, and in the course of an hour
returned to the spot armod with a
rifle, the contents of which, he discharged
into the body of Johnstone,
producing fatal consequences. Rogers
who was a man of some wealth for
those primitive times, and was possessed
of considerable influence among
his rougH, unlettered neighbors, was
acquitted of the charge of murder by
an examining justice. This was the
beginning of the terrible vendetta
that has run through the years that
followed, cutting down the males of
the two families in the prime of their
-i- ii. ?
Btreugm uaiu uuuiiuuuu.
The two Johnson lads vowed vengeance
upon the jnurdercr of their
parent, and one of them, James,
worked night and day with but one
object in view?to accumulate the
means to purchase a rifle. At length
he became the owner of one, and one
Sabbath morning, with his gun upon
his shoulder, he approached the house
. of Rogers. The latter was sitting
upon his porch, and, as he saw young
Johnstone approaching, probably divining
his intention, arose hastily and
started toward the?rack fftCEre
own gun was suspended. But the
avenger of blood was upon his path,
and ere he could reach his weapon,
he fell upon the flour a corpse, his
heart pierced by the bullet of his foe.
Rogers left behind him a young wife
and three children, one of them was
a boy. Among the rough backwoodsmen
of Carter county young Johnstone's
crime was looked upon with
satisfaction, if not with lavor-?tne
Indian law of retaliation being looked
upon by thein as the very cream of
justice. Afterwards Johnstone married,
and as the years passed by he
became surrounded by an interesting
and numerous progeny.
The boy William Rogers, in the
meantime, had almost reached manhood's
estate, when one morning,"without
divulging his intention to his
mother ^ or sisters, he left the
house with his father's rifle tipon his
shoulder, as if he were going to hunt,
and in less less than an hour a griefstricken
mother.and children were
weeping over the corps of a slain husband
and father. Young Rogers, in
his-turn, had become an avenger, and
Thomas Johnstone fell beneath his
hand.
In time the memories of these three
murders died away, and those "who
. "were children then grew up to be men
and women. William Rogers had
taken to himself a wife, and become
the head of a growing family. One
morning he rode into Elizabetktown,
and as he did not return that night
a circumstance that had never occurred
before?his wife became uneasy,
and'in the morning induced her
brother to start'to town in search of
her missing husband. ?
About three miles from the house
he came upon the body of his brotherin-law
. lying in the road, stiff and
cold in death. His brain had been
pierced by a rifle ball. Although
his murderer was never discovered,
yet the community quietly accepted
the belief that Henry Johnstone, a
son of Thomas, who was slain by
Rogers, was the perpetrator of the
deed. Some years afterwards, in a
drunken moment, in Elizabethtown,
this young man acknowledged he had
slain Rogers, and gave as his reason
that the latter had killed his father.
Johnstone was a young man, and only
a few months before the murdei
had been married to a young girl ir
the neighborhood.
Again the chart of time was unrolled,
and at least ten years had beer
added to the past, when a young lad,
a son of the murdered Rogers, engaged
in an altercation in the yarc
pf the court house at Elizabethtowr
\
1? ''. .
*
with Johnscnc, who was then a middleaged
man, and inflicted such wounds
upon him with a knife that he died
on the following morning. ...^
Thus it went on for year?,"and
now a J oh nston e'faTfi hg beneath the
avenging hands of a Rogers, and then
a Johnstone, until the war intervened,
and for a time, at least, the terrible
feud appeared to have ended.?
The cessation of hostilities brought
the survivors of the warring families
back to Carter county. ^These sur-1
vivors consisted of Randall Rogers
and Robert Johnstone, both battlcdscarred
veterans, and both unmarried
men. On the evening oft^e 5th inst,
these two yonngraen met in a grocery
at Ebzabethtown, and soon be-,
came engaged in ah altercation. Bystanders
interfered, and for an hour
or two a collision was averted. They
were separated by friends and taken
off in opposite directions. This occurred
about noon.
About. 3 o'clock, as Rogers was
going up street, he saw Johnstone
coming down. ^. As they neaped each
other they drew their revolvers and
coininenced simultaneously firing upon
each other, conthiuing to advance as
they fired. Finally, and when about
four feet distant from Johnstone, Rogers
sank to the pavement, and, as he
lay, the last act of his life was to
fire the last charge in his pistol into
the abdomen of Johnstone, whose
last bullet, fired at the same instant,
penetrated his antagonist's brain,
causing instant death. Johnstone,
reeled and fell across the body of his
foe, and when, bystanders rushed to
where they lay, lie too had passed
beyond all reach of mortal aid. Almost
at the same instant oftime their
two blopd guilt souls had gone to join
the gory ghost's or their ancestors.?
Thus ended a feud that has existed
for more than twenty years, in the
course of which fourteen men have
died violent deaths.
?
Tiie New York Southern Relief
Association.?So many and
such-well authenticated accounts have
reached the North of the terrible des
titution now prevailing throughout a
wide belt of the lately rebellious
States that a vigorous movement has
been set on foot by a number of ladies
of^his city to organize a system
for its prompt and effective relief. '
No political color whatever is to be
given to this movement. It will have
but one object?rthc saving of them
spirit of that charity which blesses
both them who receive and them who
give.
The ladies are.encouraged to their
good work by Mayor Hoffman, by
the Catholic Archbishop of New York,
by Bishop Potter and Dr. Tyng, and
by a number of other eminent laymen
and clergymen. They have taken a
central office at No. 14 Bond street,
where supplies of dry goods, clothing,
&c.j may be daily sent from 9 A. M.
to 6 P. M.. Messrs. Harris, Gaines
ft- "NTh 1 n "Whitehall street, will
receive for them any more weighty,
contributions, and Commodore Garrison
has generously offered to fur\
nish a steamer for conveying to tlie
South the help which it must surely
be impossible that Ncw York will be
slower niggard in.extending to hundreds
of thousands of women and
children dying with hi our own borders
for lack of the absolute necessaries of
life.?JSTcw York World.
Death of Nathaniel P. Willis.
?Nathaniel P. Willis died at his residence
at Idlewild last evening, aged
sixty years. Mr. Willis lias been for
years an invalid, and for months was
confined to I$ewild. lie was recently
stricken by .paralysis, and died
from the results of this he probably
died. Mr. Willis was born in Portland,
Me., 011 January 20, 1807, and
had consqeuently just completed his
sixtieth year, day for day. He commenced
writing while at Andover College
some scientific sketches, and his
finest poetical works partook of a
scriptural character. He was editor of
the old New York Mirror, conducted
for years with General George P. Morris
and latterly of the Home Journal.
Mr. "Willis also wrote several plays,
but they are not now performed,
though once popular.

Commercial Failures.?By a report
made by a commercail house in
New York, it appears that, during
18GG, there were 082 commercial failures
in the Northern States of the
Union, of which the total liabilities
t amounted to $47,233,000. This is a
greater amount than has been lost ley
. failures in the Northern States dn.
ring any year since 13G1. - In 18G5,
t there were 530 failures, with $17,G25,000
losses. In . the entire country,
. during 18G5, there were 1,505 fail
i ures,with $53,783,000 losses.

The Constitutional Amendment?Impartial
Suffrage.
Evidences accumulate that the ruling
party in Congress must soon choose
between an abandonment of its extreme
views, and a dissolution of its present |
compact and powerful organization.? I
The financial and commercial interests \,
of the country demand a return to more '
moderate and conservative counsels, or (
a forfeiture of the support of the large
and powerful classes composing the capitalists
and tradesmen of the North.?
It is well - for -our people to consider
what measures are likely to be tendered
us as a modification of the ponding 11
Constitutional Amendment; and what
position wo should assume upon tliom. j
The amendment embraces two points i
of vast practical importance.
First, tho exclusion from the basis of
representation in Congoss, of any class j
of our people, who do not enjoy the j
right of suffrage.
Secondly, the exclusion from office,
State or Federal, of all persons who
having at any time sworn allegiance to
the United States, participated in the
war of Secession.
Under the first head, we should be
Compelled, either to admit the negro to
the ballot box, or to throw him out of
calculation in the assignment of members
of Congress. Excluding him}
South Carolina, under the Amendment,...
would have tw:, instead of four members
of Congross. The representation
undisturbed. Certainly,, this ffiUV'T?*
power, to a section already hopelessly
in the minority, would be a grievanco,
greatly -to bo deprecated. Still, we j
think there are some compensating ad- j
vantages to be derived from the fact, that!
it rests with the Stato to suffer this loss j
of power, or to increase it by adopting j
negro suffrage, if she should over see fit j
to do so. The control of this subject is '
in safe hands when left to the State.? i
Wo should never again hear the negro j
suffrage agitated by the North. Tho j
ruling faction having once placed us at j
this groat disadvantage, would never
lavor It scheme for increasing the power
of the South iu tho Federal Congress.
On tho*other hand, the State would
never adopt universal suffrage, unless
demanded by sound policy. We conclude,
therefore, that though a serious
i.lnw +n f.hfi nower of the South, in this
L ~ ~ , !
respect, the Amendment would not
prove absolutely fatal. But the second
proposition is vitally?fatuity objectionable.
If adopted, it would disqualify
for office, nearly. every man who has
ever held an office,* civil or military,
under the State of South Carolina.?
The whole of the State would be doublelocked.
South Carolina would not only
bo deprived of .members of Congress,
but of Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,
Judges, Legislators, Sheriffs, Magistrates
and Constables. The men are
not to be found in this State who could
fill these positions, even if we were
, base enough to ostracise every man in
tho State whom we have heretofore distinguished
by our reverence and respect,
we should secure nothing*by our
calf abasement, but an impracticable
civil chao,s with the united contempt
and detestation' of every honorable
mind. So long as this feature is retained,
the Constitutional Amendment
can never be made operative in any
truly Southern Stato. This, therefore,
is justly regarded as the most violent j
, and impracticable of all the demands of1
, ihe Radical party, and must bo modi- i
lied if the South is to bo restored to the j
r Union in this generation. The mcas-1
' uro proposed as a substitute for the
> Amendment which appears to have
been most favored at the North, seems
' to be what is termed impartial suffrage.
The pretence for excluding tho Southern
States, has been, that they have not
t 'a Republican form of government, bei
cause they exclude a class of the peoplo
from citizenship. In order to meet this
J '
rj

ffs" ;
objection)is proposecPthat the South
remove the disability of the negro as
a class, and establish a qualification
for voters which will apply to both races
alike. Such as that which prevails in
Massachufletts, for instance, where
none are .allowed to; vote who cannot
read and write. Tho question of suffrage,
it,is true, rightfully belongs to
the States, but we are now engaged in
settling the terms of peace with our
conquerors, and should this proposition
be mad?to us, we must be prepared .to
consider how it will comport with a
sound and wise policy to accept it. If
it comes in such a shape, as that it' will
not disfranchise any who now exercise
the privilege of voting and is presented
simply,1 and as an ultimatum, it wiU
merit f.Via most careful and serious con
sideration of our people.
The Court3.
We regret to learn, says the Carolinicw,
that the Court of Errors, last week,
decided that the law passed by the Legislature,
suspending the Fall Torrn of
the Courts, last year, is unconstitutional.
The consequence is that writs sued
to the last Term arc made returnable
asu3ual;and that parties who sued
last Fall will obtain judgment at the
ensuing Spring Term.
*
A Surprise.
Tho "Washington Correspondent of
the Baltimore. Sun says : " Mr. Sternrcss
surprised the galleries and many
of his bro her Republican piembors by
the announcement that ho would probably
move to lay his reconstruction
bill on the table. The evident division
of sentiment on the subject on the Republican'side
has induced this action,
although many of tho- moro radical
members think some such measure
should be passed."
New Bails.
The Charleston Courier says a new
National Bank is about to be establish? >
ed iu that city, with a capital of $300,
000, and tho privilege of making it
$500,000. Assurances have been received
from the Secre' aiy of tho Treasury
that tho requisite securities would
be allowed to the bank, and most of the

stock, will do tan en at rue iiurtn. xuo

E JIIG It A TION OF IS'EGItOES.?We
still continue to witness accounts of
the moving of large numbers of our
colored population out of the State.
Their instincts and common sense
rises superior to the advice of. the
press generally, and the influence of
men in high places.- Why should
they stay, when double wages and
plenty are to he fouud in other States?
And why should any one, who regards
the future condition of our society
and political prospects, wish to retain
an immense majority of negroes in
old South Carolina? It is blindness,
and argues a greater regard for the
chances of making a little larger cot
ton crop, than for anything else. - it
is a disregard of all the circumstances
of the ease, except one, that of a
suppled clicaper labor. Need we
point out all the other circumstances
associated with a preponderating negro
population, in a Slate or Territory,
subjugated to the rule of'a fanatical
majority, who vote upon everything
connected with their relations to the
whites, a distance of hundreds and.
thousands of miles from us? States
of the distant Pacific, and bordering
on the lakes of Canada, are establishing
regulations-for the internal affairs
of South Carolina! and unfortunately,
with a spirit hostile to peace, order
and good government ; and to what
do they look for as the basis of annoyance
and trouble to us? Need
.we give the answer? Need we conic
out and tell any one that it is this
vorv excess of lie?ro population that
is the cause of all our political troubles
that come to us from a hostile
majority in the far off North ? It is
the pillar and ground" of the whole
of it. Let the exodus go on, it will
be "twice blessed." It is a blessing t o
the frecdmen to be enabled to get
away from the State, and a blessing
to the State itself, especially to all
that is future.?Greenville Enter2)i'ise.
3I.ATERi.tL Resources of the
South?Since the earliest days in the
history of the country it lias been
aiiundoubted truth that, iit the practical
practice of political economy on
1 this continent, the South, -with her
I mellow and generous soil and gentle
J climate, whose genial .warmth brings
almost unbidden from even the most
barren parts of her bosom the flowers
of the tropics and4he fruits and fragrance
of Arcady, has wasted her
i sweetness and her wealth upon the
i North. With the riches of Ophir beneath
her bosom her children have not
availed themsclses of its Wallli. The
North or rather New England, has !
fattened on her substance, and now j
pays its pampered politicians with the '
wealth wrung from the people tlicy ;
now tyrannize over. Why is this? . |
. There is no excuse whatever for
New England, or the fanatics of the'
North.- They are not only thieves, [
but the most-ungrateful of the class..
What-weovisK to urge upon each State
and man in the South is, that they-'
are not entirely without reproach.?
They have been blind, to" their own:
interests. Are their eyes now open ?
Let each- individual an<J each State
in the South look to its own domestic
weal, while it has an eye on national,,
politics. Let them look to their polity
as well as to their policy; let them
think of the developcment of their
own resources; the remodelling of
their labor system,, and the construcHrm
nf nermar'eht internal imorovc
ments, Above- all, let them look to
their laws and see that they ..arc in
harmony with their condition. They
have now no voice in the General
Government. Let each so nurse- its
power and develop its wealth as to be
ready, when called for, to show, that
slavery was not the backbone of the
South;-but that her .sons, even under
the heel of tyranny, can do works
worthy of credit. - The North has
fattened on her long enough; let her
strength he now gathered to herself.
Let her give every inducement to
foreign capital and immigration,
whieli, if properly attracted, will unfold
a page of national wealth, unequalled
in the records df the world. >
Wealth is now the sceptre that
sways the affairs of the world; without
it a people are "poor indeed."?
The South, in her water power and
minerals, has exhaust less- nature as a
treasurer;.let its people draw boldly
upon her, and the diadem of Southern
wealth and power will ere long glitter
in the eyes of the world more brilliantly
than even her knightly swordsgleams
in history.?Metropolitan Record.
