Caution – vote at your own district polls. Do not come into town on election day if you can contribute only a small mite to the Conservative ticket at home. By such a course, peace and order will be more likely to prevail.

An abstract of the returns of the Confederate armies show that the greatest number of soldiers of all arms and ranks on the rolls at any one time was 550,000 and then only for a brief period, besides a few thousands rangers. At only three periods did LEE’s army number 100,000 present for duty. When MCCLELLAND with 147,000 men feared to advance towards Manassas, supposing the enemy had 150,000 men, their actual force was less than 40,000.

The assertion has been made that employers of freedmen in Hardeman have tyrannized over them and by threats so intimidated them that they dare not go to the Registration officer and apply for certificates. We pronounce the assertion a “slander and a lie.” By referring to the tabular statement in another portion of this paper it will be seen that the negroes have, so far, a majority of 126 in the county. Shame on the miscreant who so willfully wrongs the people of Hardeman.

The Knoxville Free Press says; We are informed that during the present week pure salt water has been struck at what is known as “Powell’s Salt Works,” in Hawkins county, Tenn. Mr. MUSSELWHITE, who has been engaged for some months boring for salt water, is an old hand at the business. Rumor says, the water found is as strong as that used at the celebrated “King Works” of Smythe county, VA. The “Powell Works” ar situated about ten miles northwest of the town of Rogersville, and in one of the best timbered sections in the State. We congratulate our Hawkins friends on their good fortune.
