The Rome Courier has seen a letter from the
“sickest man.” His name is Lloyd. He moved
from Floyd county to Arkansas, last year, and
writes baek to his brother as below:
“If yon want a cheap home, this is the plaee
to get it. If yon want a home that nobody else
would have, if they could help themselves, this
ia the place. If you want an ill-oonvenient
place, every way, this is your place; if you
want to go twenty miles to a postoffice, and forty
to mill, thia is the place; if you want a country
where the bull frogs shake with the ague, the
White river bottoms is the country; if you
want a good rich bottom farm, where the mos
quitoes grow so large that they are frequently
seen two feet high and with a bill long and
sharp enough to bite a man through three sad
dle blankets and an inch plank, the ATlranaag
river bottoms are very near the piece; if you
want a high mountainous country, where it
sometimes takes four yoke of cattle to pull an
empty wagon np some of the Mils, and where
man cannot hold hold his tobaeco in Ms mouth
and drive Ms team, Crawford, Washington,
Benton, Carroll and Madison counties will fill
the bilk I have been traveling around ever
since I have been here, but we have to travel
very slow, owing to the bad roads.
If you want to see any of the nine-cornered
rocks, just go up into Benton—tha ground is
literally oovered with them in many places, for
miles; they are nearly as wMto as snow; they
bave nine sharp corners with eight of them
pointing right at you. This county is rocky
enough for me. 'When I step ont of my cabin
I am on a rock—I blander over them twenty or
tMrty steps and I am in the bottom, and knee
deep in mud; step ont on the other side of the
cabin, and I stumble over rocks from the size of
full grown mule to that of a railroad depot,
from fifty to one hundred yards, and then 1 ran

He says they work for something to eat, “ for
as to clothing, there ain’t no nse to thind abont

He acknowledges that is a good country for a
man that hasn’t got anything, and don’t want
anything, and then describes Ms house as fol
lows:
“I am in a little cabin, 11 by 13 feet, wMcb
tbe size of the cabins in this country. It
stands catter-cornered with the world, on a
bench of the mountain surrounded by briers
and big rocks, twenty steps from the road where
the catamounts carry off all the cMckens and
young pigs, and where the panthers are fre
quently heard squalling around the house—I
have not heard but one yet. This is my only
chance for a shelter, unless I take shelter under
the big hanging rocks, wMch is close by, and
nearly as good."

ago, in the oity of Atlanta, we saw an old true

And yet the intelligencer assumes to dictate

A negro man who had never attended a polit-

Tennessee to be Re-Beconstracted.
If old “Torch and Turpentine” Brownlow
tolls the truth—a premise by no means indisputa
ble—Tennessee is to be kicked out of the union
again and turned over to the Thugs, who for
four years made that State a veritable hell. In
the Knoxville Whig, of Sunday, he publishes the
following card.
We rather think the old fiend has had iiia
teeth drawn by the triumph of universal suf
frage in Tennessee. He may bark but he cannot
bite. With universal suffrage, the people of Ten
nessee can knock the black ont of any Con
gressional plot against their liberties. The
wMto people are in a tremendous majority, and
are ..better organized and more harmonious,
than they ever were. They can afford to laugh
at this poor old sinner’s raging and reviling.
I am in favor of setting aside the present
State Government of Tennessee, and the doings
of the State Convention and the present Legis
lature, and of tbe appointment of a military
Governor backed np by national troops who
will put a stop to the wholesale murder of white
and colored Umonists throughout the State.

We mentioned, yesterday, that a meeting

than they ever did at any time when I railed

before this matter is done with, I can say to the
party wMch has fraudulently usurped the Gov

of their refusal to adopt the Fifteenth Amend-
ment—of their wicked legislation—of their de
struction of - the able and patriotio jndioiary
of the'State, and of the various enactments in

Those who suppose that by my advocacy of
universal suffrage and the gradual process of
restoring rebels to the ballot box, I am willing
to see the loyal people of Tennessee turned
over to the rebel party, bound hand and foot,
to be persecuted and murdered, are mistaken in
their man. W. G. Brownlow.
