lov. Brownlow on the Negro Question War
4 of Races Threatened in Tennessee.
tin the Kaoxville Whig of the 27th ult., there is
long letter from the Senoir Editor (Gov. Brown
jw,) written from Nashville, we suppose, which
ibws the condition of the negro question in Tennea
3e to be rather discouraging. We copy from the
lovernor's letter :
:NCENTBATION OF NEGROES IN THE TOWNS THEIR
1 CONDUCT.
Thousands of free colored persons are congregating
and around the large'' towns in Tennessee, and
jusands are coming in from other States, one
!rd of whom cannot get employment. Indeed,
j than one-third of, them want employment, or
A willing to stoop to work. They entertain the
orieouB idea that the Governmeqt Is bound to sup-
all their wants, and even to famish them wit
ises, it in order to do that, the white occupants
st be turned out. There is a large demand for
or in every.section of the State but the colored
ple, with here and ther a noble exception, scorn
idea of work. They fiddle and dance at night,;
j lie around the stores and street corners in the
I time. And s.me of the indiscreet teachers of the'
pro from the North, who know nothing of the ne-
Character, have been known to tell them not to
i to white people 1 Having the single idea in
ir head of abolition, they advise the simple and
Vulous negroes to a life of precarious subsistence,
dleness and dancing and of crowding into the
iaotfi educated, in preference to good wags
comfiTiaole horaea in the country. If some
t change is not nude, whea the winter comes
and if the military foree is withdrawn, as they
I be, there will be great suffering and fearfui mor
ty among them. There is a bad state of feeling
between them and the whites, and itis daily grow
ffi ore bitter. Many of the negroes are insulting
bite facQlheSf who ljeyer owned any of their color,
'never tcem ftnv wrong. iThey frequently
U nr,-.. ected white women-on of our uarrow
Iments anu cnrse white men passing them just
how their authority. Others are swearing on the
Sts acdwe ha ve heard them that they clean
jne j j town I An( 8t1 another class swear,
if they are not alL their rights at the bal
box they will resort W the cartridge box 1 And
I swear they will be backed up by the Govern
k As one desiring th welfare of the colored
pie, they will permit me to. say, thU they can t
?e the 'Legislature of .Tennessee into conferring
n tbem the elective franchise. They can by the
Wratioos they are making io this direction,
rive themselves of any such privilege so far as
nessee Is conperncd. Th Federal Government
"no right to control the sufif rage question w lan
lee. And th great Union party of the Nation
jhave more sense than to attempt to control the
stioa by Congressional . legislation .
WHAT EAST TENNE8SEEANS WILL NOT STAND.
t.
resident .Tnhnarm will remove all troops from Est
lessee before a great while, and the colored people
fell as the whites will have to take care of them
es. A portion of them I know, and I feel assured
will be industrious and quiet'eitizens, providing
themselves and families. Th& great majority of
r will not, and will 'get into: trouble many of
?rem win break into ttie penitentiary 1 They will
by their threats of violence to accomplish any
l,and he is their beSt friend who advises them
'nst this course of conduct. Colored soldiers in
leral uniform, with guns and pistols in their hands,
Jt not suppose that East Tennessseans will be
midated by them, or f suffer their families to be
sed. I know these people, and I know they will
'submit to be run over by negro soldiers. And
wing this, 1 desire to keep down any conflict be
en the races. The East Tennessee troops, who
8 fought three dreadful years to iree the negroes
f get the privilege of coming back to their old and
nsbed homes, are not the men to do iuu over uy
M soldiers who came into the fight at the eleventh
And those whorhave the immediate control of
Colored troops, andS are in daily; con versa tion with
h, had as well understand this fact at once. Loyal
in East Tennessee concede to the colored people
J freedom, and the right to enjoy all they can
ie, or even realize from the aid of the Oovern
it.and the still further privilege of educating
children ; but they are not prepared to see all
fr churches and school-houses turned over to them,
I the innocent white children of Union parents,
I never owned aay slaves, denied houses of wor-
and houses in which to teach school, because a
VOL. VI.
few impudent teachers, upstarts from the North, out
of any other employment, have conceived the idea of
immortalising the negro I There are those of us
here, claiming to be on the side of the Union, who
still think, notwithstanding the result of the war,
that a white child is as good as a black one 1 There
are those of us here, on the Union side, who do not
recogniEa the right of the government, after emanci
pating the negroes of Union men, to take their lands
and property as a punishment for their having owned
slaves 1 There are those of us here, claiming that
there is no discount upon our Unionism, who don't
recognize the right of a captain or lieutenant in com
mand of colored troops, upon the representation of a
negro of bad character, arresting respectable loyal
white men with negro bayonets, and marching them
from one county to another for trial, when their con
demnation has been! agreed upon by the negroes in
advance I , And there are thousands of true-hearted
Union citizens and discharged Federal soldiers in East
Tennessee, who will die right here, in a second war,
before they will submit to any such Insult?, wrongs
and outrages.
A DAT OF BECKONING WILL COME IF THE NEGROES
ARE NOT TAUGHT TO KNOW THEIR PLACES.
I speak out plainly; because the state oi the public
mind requires it. There is a deep, intense, a desper
ate feeling getting up throughout this end of the
State upon this subject. I think I see where and
what it will lead to, and I desire to remedy the evil.
I advise the white population to treat the negroes
justly in ail respects, and not to disturb them in their
lawful and peaceful pursuits. They were armed and
uniformed by the government; and ought not to b e
denounced on that account, where they conduct
themselves properly. On the other hand, let those
who have control of the negroes advise them to a
quiet and peaceful course, and to reconcile it to them
selves to see white men and their families enjoy what
rightly belongs to tbem. Let them frown down all
malicious complaints from negroes of bad character
against white persons who have always stood fair.
Let them ceaee to arrest gentlemen or character and
standing, and f lovalty, because some enraged slave
ha fancied hojean procure such arrest. A day of
reckLojng will cme hereafter, and if these encroach
ments u"non tne gQt3 and liberties of loyal men ara
impudentl continued, that day will come sooner
than any of s waot 8ee lt 1
A NEG,3R0 BALL MISCEGENATION.
I am Informed ts a colored ball in the Univer
sity building in 'this City, tb"e colored persons were
killed in one night. It is said they wre shot by
white men dressed in wCn's clothes. VI course I
condemn, Tn unmeasured rms, any suoh outrage,
and I make mention of it to how : the state of the
feeling getting up between the races These balls
are too frequent, aud all wro,g. White soldiers,
and officers, attend them and da.nce with the colored
women. One Ohio soldier, a man of very fair edu
cation, procured a license to marry,- but not disclos
ing the color of his intended, and actually married a
wench, formerly a slave In this city ! If this sort of
alliance suited his taste, I have no complaints to
make. But I do complain that the morals of the
colored population are not so good since their free
dom as when they were in bondage. Ana at tno
speed we are all making in the directien of their en
lightment, our teaching, preaching, praying, singing
and dancing will take half of them to ruin in a very
short time.
THE GOVERNOR SHARES THE FATE OF COM MON FOLKS
IS KNOCKED INTO TUB u""114-
The officer addressing me the foregoing letter,
(which we omit) states that " we all respect the
noble men who, for four years, have stood by the
Union, " but he thiuks that in that time they
should have learned to respect the uniform of the
army." One half of all the colored soldiers in uni
forms in East Tennessee have no respect f.r -mat
uniform, and do not appreciate its dignity and im
portance. Two of them in fall uniform some
time since, upon a narrow side walk in this city,
knocked the writer ..f this article into the gter.
throwing him upon his hands ana Knees. xc
trying to get out of their way, and they saw it
but being feeb e, and leaning upon a staff, he moved
too slow for their ideas of progress. I made no
complaint, but concluded tt these colored ruffians
had not learned to respect the naif rm of the ar
my," and I went my way-not rcjojcing-b eel
ing in the Left knee that I was worsted by the en
counter, which I Had, not brooch about but
sought to prevent ! Soldiers ana oiuw., "
thA-denfi uniform, oueht all to be gentlemen, no
matter what their color, but the only two coi01"
soldiers I ever encountered did not prove to &e oi
that stripe. I have no wish to try them again --a
mighHight upon others less refined who woum
run me through with the bayonet ! Being denied
a white man's choice, I only ask a negro s privilege
of getting out of the way l
Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, issued a proclamation
ordering the assessment of a direct ad val I orem tax,
of twelvo and half cents on each hundred dollars
of property, also a poll tax of one dollar on eacn

RALEIGH, THURSDAY, OCT.
THE CITY.
Banking. We omitted inviting attention yes
terday, to the advertisement of tbe.Raleigh Nation
al Bank. We now supply the neglect and con
gratulate eur citizens upon the prospect that with
in a brief space of titae they may hope to be reliev
ed from the embarrassments of the present moment
in the matter of capital. There is a large and in
telligent amount of enterprise here which cannot
be fairly developed under existing circumstances.
Our worthy mechanics are embarrassed and cir
cumscribed in all their operations; numbers are
either without employment or unable to re-establish
themselves as the heads of their profession : so we
hail with satisfaction the appearance of every new
artery which promises lo give vigor to paralysed
industry. The total eclipse of the tld banks the
annihilation, to be plain, of our former banking sys
tem, exposes the clief reason of our momentary
depression ; but we should take heart from the les
son of nil the past, as no fact is better established
than that the future is robust with prosperity if we
only work and patiently await results. The past
of finance in this State is a dead letter ; but a safer
and wiser policy must be reared upon its ruins
such an one as will afford ample aid to merchant,
mechanic and laborer all who are honest and en
ergetic.
, Mll
Dry. Yesterday is universally voted to have
been the driest day of the year. Men were dry,
the money market being tight ; the convention pro
ceedings were dry ; the streets are ditto; and tho
clamor for something wet, about the size of Mr.
NoR's flood, is in great demand. We saw one in
dividual enter a store on Hargett street and grave
ly inquire if they had any portable reservoirs con
taining one thousand gallons of water. A friend,
who had just lost his father and mother, and eight
other relatives, and whom we know to be of strong
sympathetic, ardent temperament, confessed to us
that4ie was so dry he could' nt shed a tear. The
public distress is terrible and unless the clouds re
leive us, the newspapers will be filled with obitu
aries, all beginning "Died of dry" on such and such
a day.
Petty Larcesy as green-bag wouldjsay- is of
nightly occurrence in this city. A calf was slaugh
tered, Tuesday night, in the northern part of the
city, and another pursued unsuccessfully. A ne
gro entered the yard of Mr. David Royster. on
Newbern street, last night, and bore away a largo
pile of wood. Mr. Stephen Jones, near the gas
house, has lost no less than four shoats within the
past four weeks. So we go and so things must
continue for some time to cqme. It is only by an
efficient and numerous police organization that the
be staved. We believe that the
iut V v " w
addition of ten or twelve men to the present police
would do much towards suppressing these small
raids aud the prevention of more serious ones in the
future. t
Picking them Up. Military details were again
on the streets of the city, yesterday, picking up
negroes that have no place of abode, or in other
words, those without employment who are 1 afing
about the street without any visible means of sup
port. We saw a squad of them going down Fay
etteville street, under guard, bearing a huge coil of
wire, ladder and other emblems of industry. Yet
another draft might have been seen with brooms
and spades cleaning tie streets ; in fact, the course
of the military authorities recently has been sueh
as to contribute large'y towards breaking up what
we all have so much :ause to fear : extensire
confirmed pauperism, the prelude of crime.
