that, as the Governor was so prominently con

would be a virtual declaration that the Union

acknowledge tin- t.al und ability wiih which you
have urged upon all classes the duty of giving

you buvo lashed the sb:.vers and brokers who
would selfishly seek to reap profits out of our j

While a Btate Legislature has no power to |
make anything a legal tender save gold and sil

control and regulate tbe remedy, and it follow* j

They were leaders in the rebellious movetneii #
in Uast Tennessee, and took an active part in
leading ciiiaeßl of that end of the Htate astray

the prisoner* to Gab. Jesse B Clements, Confed

mitred to jail ; our Jailor being a true Southern

course of the Sh- rlffo’ Knox county Is certainly
very rerharksble When be fi-els b cannot sup
port the Government of tbe Confederate States,
be ought t j bold no office in a State owing al
legiance to that Government. Judge Humphreys
rightly considered that a civil officer, who re
fused to acknowledge allegiance to tbe Govern

Capt. Ashby itarud with a fifth prisoner, by
