A dreadful state of affairs exists in East.Tea
nessee. Men who have been true to the South,
are, since Longstreet left, subjected to every '
outrage. Robbery and assassination are -'of!
daily occurrences. Hanging' Southern mea--seems
to be a favorite pastime with the LitH
colnites. A gentleman who escaped through
the mountains to this place, a few davs since,
gives such h description ol tmngs generally
would lead one to conclude tnat tne aevu- irom
hell, with all his imps and strikers, bad been
turned lose upon thedefenceless people 'of
East Tennessee. And the Yankee authorities ,
wink at all these outrages, it they do not open
ly sanction and encourage them. If there it
justice in Hcayen, and we know there is, a
terrible day of reckoning awaits the blood thirs
ty villains who are now lording it over a help
less people. Confederate bullets and bajofiets
will yet' overtake these dastardly wretches
dronk with the blood of innocent and helpless
people. They have ahown no mercy, and when
riehteous retribution overtakes thsro, which
may be nearer than they suppose, in vaur msy
they plead for that pity w h ich thejr have do -nied
to others. -Y -v' 1 -'
