Outrage

The town of Maryville, East Tennessee, was the scene of a most disgraceful affair on the 21st of last month. It seems that a Rev. HAYNES, of the M. E. Church had been driven from the town by a posse of loyal leaguers, simply because he was thought to be conservative in his views. The sheriff of the county headed the lawless party. After driving the minister from town, the rioters informed all those who had given him countenance that they had better beware, as they too, would be made to suffer. “Loyalty!” Bah!!
