We arrived here to-day from Ab
ingdon, Virginia, leaving the latter
place at the rising of the sun—not
your Sun of Atlanta—but the light-
dispenser of the heavens. We had
ifpent two days in Abingdon. The
place is certainly a beautiful one and
is celebrated for its wealth and refine
ment. as also for its fi-male education
al institutions. The Methodists,
Presbyterians and Roman Catholics
each have their large and flourishing
schools. Near Abingdon is the cele
brated Emory and Henry College.—
Abingdon had scarcely recovered from
the shock occasioned only a few weeks
ago by the sudden death of one of her
most brilliant song. Col. James W.
Humes, Lieutenant-Colonel of a Ten
nessee regiment in the late great war,
occupied a most eminent position as
a rising young statesman, and was al
ready mentioned prominently in con
nection with the next Governorship
of Virginia. He delivered the Alum
ni address last tear before,the Virgin
ia Military Institute, of which he was
a graduate. His beautiful and accom
plished widows the daughter of the
late Gen. Charles R. Floyd, of Geor-
gta.

Abingdon was the home, in early
years, of Joseph E. Johnston, of the
Confederate service, a name intimate
ly associated with the War Ilistoryof
vour especial region. Mr. Beverly
Johnston, his brother, a prominent
lawver. and Hon. John W. Johnston,
L T . ‘S. Senator of Virginia, reside
there. In connection with Gen. John
ston. we may remark that a friend in
Abingdon related to us the substance
of a most interesting conversation
had in Abingdon since the war
with the General, touching operations
against Sherman, near Atlanta. At
the verv moment of Gen. Johnston’s
removal from command, he had com
menced a series of field movements
against Sherman's armv, which could
scarcelv have failed to deliver Georgia
from the invaders. The source from
which we derive this information
commands our unqualified belief and
the details (which we feel scarcely
authorized to give) display the wary
and skillful strategy of the great com
mander in a most striking light We
trust Gen. Johnston may be induced
to give to the country acomplete his
tory of the military o|>eration8 of the
Confederacy, in which he bore so
conspicuous a part. The truth of
history, and his own great name, de
serve it. No false delicacy towards
the distinguished President of the
Confederacy ought to stand in the
way of telling “the trnth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth.”
The Wheat fields of South-western
Virginia, are now being harvested.
The crop is not good; that of this
region (East Tennessee) still worse.
The t>at crop is better, and is just
ripen iug. Here, black berries are
ripening. In Abingdon—only 150
nules distant, but at a far greater
elevatiou above the sea-level—the
black lie fries are not yet ripe.
Knoxville is rapidly improving.
We had on our journey hither, a con
versation with Mr. W. T. Betterton,
of the extensive wholesale honse in
Liquors and Cigars of McClerry A
Betterton of this city, an intelligent
Virginian, formerly of Lynchburg.—
His enumeration of the improvement*
in progress surprised us. We could
see for ourselves many large house*
going np. The Government is here
building an immense Custom House.
The Knoxville A Kentucky Rail
road is the great coal-feeder of this
region and the South. On account
of financial embarrassments, the road
lias pa-sod into the hands of the
State, and will soon be sold. We un
derstand the road which originally
oost over li.dOO.qOO will soon be sola,
bevond doubt at an extremely low
■figur,—doubtless for one-sixth it*
cost. Would it not be good policy in
the W. A A. B. U. to purchase it?
To the eye, surely no lovelier land
than this exist*. The mountain view*
from this city are enchanting. It i*
no wonder that East Tennessee has
produced an artist competent to trans
fer these enchanting scenes to canvas.
Mr. F. J. Fisher, ofthiscity, a yonng
artist of a thorough education among
the galleries of Europe, is here now
with a studio filled with landscapes
of indceci'iliable loveliness, copied from
nature. His paintings, in oil colors,

water* of Moutride Spring*. The
water* certainly hare a magic power
to relieve dyspeptics and persons suf
fering from liver complaints. We
understand that fhahion has her vo
taries there as well as disease, and
that the nightly dance at the base of
the grand old Chilhowee Mountain is
redolent of mirth and music.

T* tk* People mt the Pali
SteUae hr the Democrats
To the People of tke United Staiu:
Our presence and official duties at
Washington hare enabled us to be
come fully acquainted with the ac
tions and designs of those who con
trol the Radical party, and we feel
called upon to utter a few words of
warning against the alarming strides
they have made towards centraliza
tion of power in the hands of Con
gress and the Executive.
The time and attention of the Rad
ical leaders have been almost wholly
directed to devising suoh legislation
as will, in their new, best preserve
their ascendency, and no regard for
the wise restraints imposed by the
Constitution has checked their reck
less and desperate career.
GRANT TO BE HIS OWH SUCCESSOR.
The President of the United States
has been formally announced as a
candidate for re-election. The decla
ration of bis selfish supporters have
been re-echoed by a subsidized press,
and the discipline of party has al
ready made adhesion to his personal
fortunes the supreme test of political
fealty. The partisan legislation to
which we refer was decreed and
shaped in secret caucns, where the
extremest counsels always dominated,
and was adopted by a subservient ma
jority, if not with the intent, certain
ly wi ’ '
with the effect, to place in the
bands of the President power to com
mand his own renomination, and to
employ the army, navy and militia,
at his sole discretion, as a means of
subserving his personal ambition.
When the sad experience of the
last two years, so disappointing to tie-
hopes and generous confidence of the
oountry, is considered in connection
with the vile utterances as rash pur
poses of those who control the Presi
dent’s policy, it is not surprising that
the gravest "apprehension for the fu
ture peace of the nation should be
entertained. At a time when labor
is depressed, and every material inter
est is palsied by oppressive taxation,
the public offices have been multiplied
by all preoedent to serve as instru
meats in the perpetuation of power.
CORRUPTION.
Parti ran ship is the only test ap
plied to the distribution of this vast
patronage. Honesty, fitness and
moral worth are opeiily discarded in
favor of truckling submission and
dishonorable compliance. Hence
enormous defalcat ions and widespread
corruption have followed as the natu
ral consequences of this pernicious
system.
By the official report of the Secre
tary of the Treasury it appears that
after the deduction of all proper cre
dits, many millions of dollars remain
due from ex-collectors of the internal
revenue, and that no proper diligence
has ever been used to collect them.—
Reforms in the revenue and fiscal sys
tems, which all experience demon
strates to be necessary to a frugal ad
ministration of the Gorernment, as
well as a measure of relief to an over
burdened people, have been persis
tently postponed or wilfully neglect
ed.
PILE ON THE TAXES.
and the sacred rights of local self-
government overthrown. Modelled
up to the sedition laws, so odious in
history, they are at variance with all
the sanctified theories of pur institu
tions, and the construction given by
these Radical interpreters to the Four
teenth Amendment is, to use the lan
guage of an eminent Senator—-Mr.
Trumbull, of Illinois—an “annihila
tion of the States.’’ Under the last
enforcement bill, “the Executive may,
in his discretion, thrust aside the gov
ernment of any State, suspend the
writ of habeas corpus,” arrest its Gov
ernor, imprison or disperse the Legis
lature, silence its judges, and trample
down its people under the armed heel
of his troops. Nothin'' is left to the
citiien or the State which can any
longer be called a right—all is chang
ed into mere Bufferanoe.
THE SAME CORRECTION THAT MR.
JEPPBRSON ADVISED.
Our hojie* for redress are in the
calm, good sense, the ‘'sober, second
thought” of the American people.—
We call upon them to be true to them
selves and their posterity, and, disre
garding {tarty names and minor dif-
ferencee, to insist upon a decentrali
zation of power and the restriction of
Federal authority within its just and
proper limits, leaviug to the States
tliat control over domestic affairs
which is essential to their liapj iness
and tranquility and good govern
ment.
UNMANLY TREATMENT OF THE
SOUTH.
Everything that malicious ingenu
ity could suggest, lias been done to
irritate the {teople of the Middle and
Southern States. Gross anil exagger
ated charges of disorder and violence
owe their origin to the mischievous
minds of the potential managers in
the Senate anil House of Representa
tives. to which the Executive has. we
regret to say. lent his aid, Httd thus
helped to eitdame the popular feel
ing.
Iu all this course of hostile legisla
tion and harsh resentment no word of
conciliation, of kind encouragement,
or fraternal friendship, has ever been
spoken by the President or by Con
gress to the people of the Southern
States. They have been addressed
only in the language of proscription.
We earnestly entreat our fellow-citi
zens in all parts of the Union to spare
no effort to maintain {teaeeand order,
to carefully protect the rights of
every citizen, to preserve kindly rela
tions among all men, and to discoun
tenance ana discourage any violation
of the rights of any portion of the
people secured under the Constitu
tion or any of its amendments.
ADVICE TO THE SOUTH.
Let ua in conclusion, earnestly beg
of vou not to aid the present attempts
of Radical partisans to stir up strife
in the land; to renew the issues of the
war. or to obstruct the return of pence
and prosperity to the Southern States,
because it is thus that they seek to
divide the attention of the country
from the corruption and extravagance
in their administration of pnbltc af
fairs, and the dangerous and profli
gate attempt* they are making to
wards the oreation of a- centralized
military gorernment

Says the Richmond Enquirer, “is
how "to arrest the course of the Re
publican party.” The article which
contains this sentiment is published
in the True Georgian, and commend
ed by it* editor a* the political sum-
mum bonum of the hour. To it Mr.
Stephens and the rest of mankind is
directed, as to the beadon light which
is to guide the ship of State over the
troubled waters and into safe anchor
age. Mr. Stephens, of course, despite
Dr. Bard’s intimation of valient battle.
is quite able to maintain his own cause
without aid or comfort from us; but we
take occasion to join issue with both
the Enquirer ana Georgian. We assert
that the great,overshadLowing problem
of oh r day ie in the preservation of con
stitutional liberty. The defeat of the
Republican party perse, might prove,
we admit, a great good—but this
would not necessarily remand the
country I melt to good government.
Nothing but a return to the oorrect
principles will do this Principia
non homines, was always a favorite
maxim with old Democrat* and
Whigs. To meet the progressive
spirit of the age, we are willing to
change it to “principles and men.”
Principia et homines, then, is onr
motto—that is, first, correct princi
ple*, and second, correct men to eti
force them. Indeed, we have found
the two one and inseperable, in giving
permanent suooess to any cause or
party. Gen. Grant does a* well, per
haps. a* any other man could do, on
the priuciples oi hi* party.
Statesmen, in founding government*
do not build for a day, but for all time.
It was thus with the Gathers of thi* Re
public. Every stone from the base
to the apex of the political edifice,
was severely scrutinized, because they
designed the grand old fabric should
stand forever. The Constitution was
put up by master bnildora—by men
of rare wisdom and patriotism—not
given to sudden “departures”—ac
cepting no “situation” in contraven
tion of popular rights and fret in
stitutions. Such, in a few words, is
the history of Constitutional Gov
ernment in thi* oountry. Now the
primarv question is, ■hall this form of
Government be restored, maintained
and perpetuated ? Then follow* the
secondary one, what party is most
likely to do this? Now we beg our
contemporaries to keep these two
including in either case the sum paid order we place them.
Congress now adjourns without
having eveu attempted to reduce tax
ation or to repeal the glaring imposi
tions by which industry is crushed
and impoverished. The Treasury is
overflowing and an excess of eighty
millions of revenue is admitted, and
vet, instead of some measure of pres
ent relief, a barren and delusive reso
lution is passed by the Senate to con
sider the tariff and excise systems
hereafter, as if the history of broken
pledges and pretended remedies furn
ished any better assurance for future
legislation than experience has done
in the past Ship-building and the
carrying trade, once sources of
national pride, and prosperity, now
languish under a crushing load of
taxation, and nearly every other bug-
mess interest is struggling, without
profit to maintain itself.
Our agriculturists, while paying
heavy taxes on all they consume,
either to the Government or to mo
nopolists, find the prices for their own
products so reduced that houest labor
{• denied its just reward and indus
try is prostrated by invidious dis
crimination.
RESOURCES SQUANDERED.
Nearly 200,000,000 acre* of public

LIBERTY AND LOW TAXES.
No indignation could tie too stern,
and no soom too severe for the asser
tions by unscrupulous Radical leaders
that the great Democratic party of
the Union has or can have sympathy
with disorders or violence iu any part
of the oountry, or in the deprivation
of any man or of his rights under
the Constitution. It is to protect
and perpetuate the rights which every
freeman cherishes, to revive in all
ed the Government to brief party
success, we concede the point that the
great question of the hour is, how
can we defeat the Rs lteals ? By how
manv and how wide “departures”
from" the faith delivered unto us by
the fathers, can we get a grab at the
flesh-pote, at the loaves and fishes,
upon which our political enemies have
so long regalea themselves? This
seems to be the prominent idea of our
dejmrterl and departing friend*. It
means nothing more, nothing less,
than a temporary aliandonment of
principle to expediency. But let them
bear in mind the case of Esau, and
read in his fate the doom of the Demo
cratic party, in that day, when it sells
its principles for a mess of pottage.—
They will in vain try to woep book
their birthright—“the goblet it broken
and wasted the wine?’ Departures

on such ero{>* as have not suffered
too much for want of work. Diligent
attention ha* this year been more
beneficial than imported fertilizer*.—
With one month more of seasonalde
rains, the corn crop of this section
will bo nnneually good, hut a few
