NASHVILLE, Nov. 10.-The situation of affairs in Tennessee is becoming alarming. Suspicious communication is being held between east Tennessee miners and the miners of Kentucky, Alabama and Virginia. The hardy mountaineers who released the convicts have sworn the governor shall not rebuild the stockades, and that if he sends the convicts back to the mines they will be butchered in cold blood.
It has been stated officially the rebellion of miners, so far as estimated, has damaged the commercial standing of east Tennessee to the amount of millions of dollars. Two town companies, one with $50,000,000 capital and located at Bristol, the other with $100,000,000 capital and located at Elizabethtown, have refused to enter the state, claiming that the state, not being able to protect its own interest, cannot protect the interests of capital.
