Knoxville, Tknn., June 39. 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.

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, on their way to th* health-giving 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. W. G. M: ADERE88 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 RADICAL EXTRAVAGANCE.

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.

We were riding out a few evenings since on toe outskirts of our village and saw a crop of cotton flagged. It is customary, we believe, to flagg crops that are taken by the grass, and as this is the only flagged crop we have seen or heard o£ we conclude that the cotton crop in old Hancock, am the field alluded to, is about dear of grass.

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 has produced a marked improvement on such ero{>* as have not suffered too much for want of work.
