ky a hrotal and mercenary aaemy. .After three years
af snffering. hardships and glorious triumphs, will any
.ene now falter? God forbid!
Ak Appkal to th* Jcsticb o» I^obth Carolina —
Oa tke morniof of the 10th Juse lSt>I, when the let
K^rth Carolinii Regiment had started frnto Bethel in
ae ‘rob of the enemy, a patriotic woman who lived be
tween that point and Hamp'on, birrriedly met them, on
fx)t, to give infoTBiation that the enemy was advancing
ia great force. Tbe inf rmation was of inestimable
impartanoe—it saved our foroes from a surprise, ena
blad them to rctwn in time to Bethel, to etrfj^gthen
their breabiworks, and thus prepared, to meet ard de
feat the enemy^s thousandi^with a few hundred of g»l-
last men, under these fighting cfficers, Magruder and
Eill In process of time the Peninsula was evacuated
by the Confederate forces and occupied by 'he enptry.
At tAat time Mrs. Tunnell. tbe lady alluded to, was lery
sick and was conseiJUsnHy left within the enemy’s
lines, abcut 4 miles below Yorktown. Five months
afterwards she effected her escape, with her only child,
in his 19:h year. Hearing that her husband was sick
in the ksFpital jtt Liberty, she proceeded there to nurse
him, u>d waa afterwards appointed Matron in one of
the Haapitals there. H*?r salary, with a smaU sum
eara«d hy her bod, barely affords them lUFteaance. We
have seen a private .latter from her. wrft.ten two ar
three months ago, in which she stated these facts, and
added, ‘1 do not a»k anything for myself, but if yon
aoald g«t a poaiMon-in tbe arn^y near your person, it
would bo gratefully received. .My son is in his 18;h
ye»r and is v^ry aoxious to get in the army. It is the
lact sacriSoe I have to make, but 1 do it cheerfvliy
Ha is my only child, and be is now at your service.”
The annali of patriotism afford few ln«tanoea of such,
davotion, and of modsst euduraAcc of th6 privationti of
a rs^gee.
Wa propeae, entirely witncut the knowledge of Mrs.
Tsanell, tkat tbe citisans of North Carolina contribute
a fund to make amends for her loss of home and pro
perty, and to plaoe her is comfortable circumBtanceB.
W» would appeal for that purpose to tbe membeifa of
tke ‘‘Bethel Regiment,” but they are almcst all in the
service, few ef them having tbe opportunity to coniri-
bute to such a fuarf. But tkeir friends and families at
heme can do it for them. To every such family we ap
peal, and te all who reflact that but for ,\fni. Tunnell's
timely and patriotic conduct the glorious field of B^el
might have proved a field of surprise and disasfer to
out arois aod of slaughter t« oar sons
A list is opened at this otSca, with a contribution af
IlOO from a father who had two sons there- Aud we
will be glad to hear from any eae who may feel i^ike
grateful.

Trom tbe summary of tbe evidence taken as to the
sappressioa of the ballot in the various couanes, we
m&ke a faw exti'kcte, as follows:
McCracken County —In this County the election was
held under strict military rule. Soldiers were station
ed at each precinct No one was allowed to vote with
out taking the oath prescribed by Qen. .\sboth. The
Democratic ticket was struck from the poll-books and
uot allowed to be voted for.
Hancock County.—At Hawesville, a I’eutenant in
command of a militay force iorbade the jujgea to place
the names of the Democratic candidates on the poll-
books, and they obeyed, refusing to receive any votes
fer these candidates. At Lewispsrt the same course
was pursued. At Indian Creek no poll was op‘ned for
the Democratic ticaet. At Lane precincx twenty-two
votes were allowed to be cast for Wicklilte
Ballard County.—At precinet No 1 there was no in
terference witn voters and Wickliffe received all b-.it
two or three of the votes c&st At the remaining pre
cinct, the election was conducted by arg;:ed Boldiers un
der the orders of Geo. Asbotii, and ali the voters be
ing required to taka the oath prescnoed in his order.
McLean County.—The Damocratic ticket was erased
trotn >J6 pait-booxa at aii but one or two precinois
Caldieell County.—Wicklifie’s nanie was not ailoRcd
tj go on tlie poll books at any of the precincts, altotugh
many of the best citixcus otfered to take tue oaths re-
quir«4 if permitted to vote for him
ahelSy County —At Duke's precinst no one was ^
lowed to vote except for Bramletta, though voters offer
ed to take any oath required. They were told that no
disloykl man eould vote, and an ctfer te vote the Demo
cratie ticket was an avidenoe of disloyalty.
Henderson County.—V'cters were rtquired to take
Qen. Shackleford’s oath. At Henderson several persuns
were arrested for voting the Demcoratic ticket. At the
Hebardville, SponsviUe and Tiiloton s prroinots the
Democratic ticket was not allowed on the poll books.
At tbe Walnut Bottom precinct sixteen votes were cast
for Wickliffe and none for Bramlcite before the arrival
of the miliUary, when the officer in command seixed the
poll'books and carried them to headquarters.
Oven County.'—In ti^ht preoincti no vcte* were al
lowed to be caat for Wickliffe For some reason nineiy-
seven votes were permitted to be recorded for him in
one precinct and tkiriy-six iu auother.
Nelton County.—\l Bardstown, C-ol. Buller in j'(:rsoa
erased the Demacratic ticket from tne poll-bookV At
Boston, Bloomfield, High Groy^, Deatsville and Bal
lard’s the soldiery prohibited any one from voiiLg- fur
Wickliffe At Chaplin the military were not peraitited
to control the election, and Wickliffe ^ot niui.iy thrte
votes to six for Bramlette.
Wood/ord County.—At Versailles the Provost .Mar
shai gave notice at the polls that those who voted ihu
Democratic ticket would leave a record of their disloy
ally, so that he would know whoso prop rty ta seiz ^ as
the syuipathisera in rebellion. Finally none were al
lowed to vote who disapproved the negro policy of the
Administration.
Congrational DUtrieta No and 7.—Voters in addi
tion to the oath required by law, were required to an
swer qucTstions as to their feelings, sympathies and
wishes If they failed to answer these satisfactorily,
or refused to answer at all, their votes were rrjected.
Those who had voted early iu the day were afterwards
called back and these questions put to them and their
votes erased. All this was done under the authority
of telegraphic dispatches sent over the Districts, stating
that Maj. M. C. Johnston had ‘‘issued an order” that
these questions were to be put to voters. Mr. John
ston is a di&tinguished lawyer from Lexington, and he
has since, la a public oard, denied that he had ever
given'such an opinion, but, on the conCtary, whm cou-
sulieii by the judges of electiou, had advised them tn.it
such questions were illegal.
There is a great deal more of the same sort, but it is
Tjle.'S ta consume space iu copying it Tne election
fn Kentucky was nc election at all—it was but an
mpudent registering of the edict of the Lincoln gov*
ernment appointing a Governor and other cfficers for
the State. The Kentucky Committee closer its addre>is
as follows: —
“For the present, fellow citixsns, the fate of Ken
tucky is sealed. Her very devotion to the Constitution
has been made the means whereby to deprive her peo
ple of every Cofistitutional right. Deceived and be
trayed, she lies prostrate and helpless—wept by her
friends—deride^ by the oppressors. But there is that
in the sj irit of her people which tells us it will not be
for long. Like fabled Antasus, who eaeh time he touch
ed bis mother earth, started up with redoubled strength,
her fall will but invigorate her for a struggle yet to
come. That her independence may be restored to her'
by the peaceful remedies of the Constitution, rather
than by violent convulsion, must he the earnest prayer
of every lover of hia country.'’
And such will be the fate of any Southern SUte nu-
der abolition rule. Life and liberty and property cau-
not be held under laws and constitutions, but only at
the will of bitter and maliguant enemies, who do not
want our loyalty, but our property.
