On Friday of last week, the case of Peter Yoakley vs John Hawley, Geo Galloway, Adam Bowery and F. 51. j onu. oaIlie UP lor tra' at Jonesboro j before Judge Gillen waters, and a jury j (,f Washington County Tenn. The jt fof boxca iakpn from Yoak ley's store house 0 miles South of Blountvi.Ie, byY. P.. Hunt chief Enrolling officer of Sullivan County, and a squad of men under or. dor of Col. Jno F. Terry commanding Post at Bristol in Oct. Yoak ley had left home and joined the Federal ar.-My, at least he so admitted in the pleadings. After the tobacco was ta ken, the jT-ities taking it sent an offi cer and two men to Jno. Hawley 's lu-Usc 3 miles from Yoak ley's, and im pressed his wagon and team, and dri ver, a negro boy A fter they had ta I ken his waon, team and driver, Jno. Hawley followed on to look after his wagon, team and driver. His wagon was leaded with Yoakley's tobacco, Jno. Hawley putting one box iulo the wagon, by order of W. P. Hunt, and the next day driven by Hawley him self to Bristol, and under order of Hunt, turned over to the Confederate Siatej authorities and Hawley re turned home with his wagon and team. The proof showed that John Hawley went along to take care of his wagon and team, as did Crawford, Fain and others, whose wagons and teams were impressed by the same parties, and for the same purpose. There was no proof connecting Jno. Ilawhy with thr; taking, beyond that above stated. He was a private in the Home Guards at the time, and all the other defendants were iu the Cofed erate service. The proof showed that Hunt went to Yoakley's, acting under the order above mentioned. The order itself was produced on the trial, idee- Lified by Col. Terry, who stated that he issued it that the tobacco was ta ken, carried to Bristol, turned over to C. S. authorities,' and destroyed iu December following, by Stoueman's Raid. Jno Hawley was the responsible de. I'emtant and strange to say the Jury returned a verdict, acquitting Bowery, Galloway and Wolfe, who were along with Hurt all the time, but finding Jno Hawley guilty, and assessed dam. ages against him for $4900. This can only tie accounted for, upon the hypothesis' that the war is still progressing in Washington County Tenn., and they are operating upon the Andy Johnson-Brownlow pro gramme of "making treason odious and impoverishing rebels'" The case had been twice removed from Sullivan to Carter County by change of venue and last to Washing ton County where it was finally tried.

The Richmond "Whig speaks in' exalied term3 cf the letter of Gov. Kemper in reply to the Ab- iugtlon resolutions. Tli6 Petersburg Nkws uses the following temperate and dispassion ate language touching it : The letter we publish this mornirg from Gov. Kemper upon the political status of parties and events, wid of course be read with attention by those uho take a special intere-t in such matters, as intelligent readers gene rally do. The Governor s3's much that is very good, and much that we take pleasure in heartily commending, but we entirely dissent from him when he -ays that tlire lias been no change since the wr in the rights ol the States and the liberties of the people. We consider that the three last amendments to the federal con stitution, acquit cii by co-ercion , destroyed the fundamental principles upon which this government was tornu d, and that the rights of the State and the people now, as con- trusted wr.h those cmranteed ia the original constitution, are no more alike than is a pure African negro compared with a pure white man. The great founders of the government, if now living, would never recognize such au instrument as their offspring, nor sanctiond it either, except, "as we do, from necess ity. Ti e present is not the government of our fathers, and the ILimi.toniau and not the Jeliersoniaii creed of "State rights" now prevails, Still, we agree with" Gov, Kemper that the situation is one which we have ac cepted, and though we accepted it under compulsion, it is nevertheless a situation by which we -are compel! ed to abide in good faith, however distasttf'il it may be to our vieu and feelings concerning the proper government of the country. The past is gone ; the present and t he future must be worked out with all the wibdoiii and prudence we can command . Principles, not, men, s!:o i!d govern. Bat this is no time to discuss ques tions that are calculated to impair hie harmony of our party, and upon which the best of men may differ without subjecting their motives, or fidelity to the best interests of the state and party to suspicion. We are not extremists of either class and stand, and always have stood, where Gov, Kemper says the great mass cf our people stand, the antipodes of all extremes. The Index fe Appeal cuts loose, after the following wild and dis organizing style, which the people of Washington have disapproved of and which will find a feeble echo elsewhere. But it needless to answer riqtnarole with reason. When Epiiuaim joins is idois, neither expostulation nor vituperation nor prayers nor tears nor anything else can reform him. Let him alone! Governor Kempeu has crossed the Rubicon. He has lett Conservatism behind. He would remand Southside Virginia to a hope less enslavement to the negroes, lie belongs now to our enemies, and not to the catagory of our friends and allies. He has chosen his way and we say let him gang his gait. Every utterance he has mvde since his elec tion shows how far and fast he has strayed from the true doctrine, in the faith and fear of which he should rather have died, lie seems to have been fatally bitten by the ambition of Presidential or Vice-Presidential honors which has betrayed to i idicu lous failure so many Southern poli ticians. We haie heretofore resented the deep wrong done by him to Pe tersburg ; we n;onru now the injury hi would fain inflict on t!ie State. But while in the former instance his veto sufficed, the people will in turn veto his proposition when he tries to betray them to the authors and the architects of their run. AH honor be to Governor Kemteu's record in the war! All the more blame ntd shame to the policy of compromise and surrender which now seems likely to link his name with that of such Conledcrates as Longstreet? The Dispatch is always eooland generally wise. Here is what it says : Governor Kemper's lx-tter. We publish this niomiitg Governor Kemper's lotter to Mr. I. 0. Fow ler, of Washington county. U'e must frankly -say tiia'. while our f'aitl. in the publ.c. d otio:i s.nd high and lionoinb'e ei.r.rnc'.er of Governor IvEMPEU is m no wise n ha ted we csomut coin'iir i.i ail that is iu this li tter. We U-iiee inat the civil war has destroyed rights of the StAtes, and that wrongs have been indicted upon the States in which they formally acquiesced un der duress In short, that the bayo net has in time of peace overridden the public will and foicibly establish" ed what would not have been allowed to exist if left to the public Ieclio.i. We are faithfully devoted to the Conservative party and the principles of that party as interpreted by the Governor in speaking of one article of ti e i i;. form , when lie "derlarer our ;.: fiance to principle aud our desire to d exact justice as belwect. ourselves and ail others, by cultivat ing h uiuo' ions relations villi the common -t grptrOj government, and by going precisely so far and no far.her in that direction than our plainly avowed principles will let us 0, But, loathing the wlvde policy of reconstruction, we are unwilling to hica coerced s it. mission interpreted into the consent of a free people, ft or can w e look forward with nny expectation or hope that the social system created by the Federal Gov ernment in the South is susceptible of final assimilation and peace. We do not suppose that Governor Kem. feu does ; but we cannot sympathize with the full emphasis given in his letter to points that might lead t the inference that he does. lint we do not mean to discuss these questions'. There is no need for their discussion in the Conservative party. And we hope, as- the Governor is thoroughly vindicated upon the sub ject of the veto, that the whole mat. ter is now ended.
