cannot avoid specially noticing the expedient adopted by the Governor of Tennessee to obtain in his State a majority of votes for Mr. Lincoln. The sympathies of the population of Tennessee are with the Confederacy, and a Federal army alone prevents them from ranging themselves beside their brethren in the Southern States. Tennessee has been conquered, and is at present held by the record. The Governor and the principal officials in the State are, therefore, it is needless to say, staunch Unionists and steadfast supporters of the party which has entrusted them with the authority which they exercise. The Governor has issued an order to the effect that no one shall be permitted to vote at the approaching election who has not, in the first instance, solemnly sworn that he will oppose an armistice, or, indeed, any negotiation whatever, with armed rebels before constitutional laws have been re-established throughout the States. In other words, the inhabitants of Tennessee, in order to q

The Colonel tells this story with great zest, as the nearest approach to loyalty in Charleston that he has inch among the white people yet. Loyalty in Charleston. There are a few white Unionists here, but they are chiefly of foreign birth, or poor, and many of these are of the "Union-as-it-was" sort. A number are beginning to claim that they have been Union all along, but were compelled to talk secession to save themselves. "Why, you people here who claim to be Union," I said to one of the prominent citizens, "seem to have been greater slaves than the negroes. You say you were compelled to say what you did not believe?" He winced a little, but replied: "Yes, it's a fact, sir; you have no idea of what people had to submit to here who were not fire-eaters." Negro and white

Returned Confederates and negroes Butchered. Philadelphia, December 8. --The New York Tribune this morning says that East Tennessee Unionists have been permitted by a weak and worthless Union General Commanding, and a reverend blackguard styled Governor, to butcher not less than one hundred rebels and negroes in and around Knoxville since June last. Greeley says Tennessee has many staunch Unionists, but, nevertheless, is a pandemonium of passion and crime, and no more fit to self-gov and negroes Butchered.

This is what we had been led to expect. Those East Tennessee Unionists have been permitted, by a wUnionists have been permitted, by a weak and worthless Union general commanding, and a reverend blackguard, who is styled Governor, to murder two or three negroes to balance each of the paroled and returned rebel soldiers whom they have seen fit likewise to dispatch, until they have good reason to deprecate the admission of negro testimony; for it would hang hundreds ast in and around Knoxville alone; and there will, of course, be more if the strong hand of authority be not stretched over them. Tennessee has many staunch Unionists and worthy men among her citizens; but she is nevertheless a Pandemonium of passion and crime, and no more fit for self-government today than Dahomey. She needs

Greeley in favor of A. H. Stephens for United States Senator. --After announcing that Mr. Stephens has declined to be a candidate for United States Senator from Georgia, the New York Tribune adds: "We would far prefer the reformatory convictions and trustful foresight of Mr. Stephens to the merely negative qualities of Mr. Johnson, who, if not quite given over to the mulisliness which characterizes a few of his contemporaries, was never a decided or wholesome actor or thinker, and is unable to digest the present condition of affairs. Georgia has a real Union party, however small, who are the most chagrined sufferers by the ruling process of reconstruction; but there is no hope whatever that Georgia, more than any other late insurgent State, will select her architects from the class of tried Unionists."
