Our MILITARY EDIToR.- Within the last few
days we have received two communications for
our Military Editor, both asking for expression
of his opinion and sentiments on the right Of q
State to seeede from the Union, the extension Of
our eolored and peculiar institution, the condition
of the country, the hopes of the Union, etc. One
of these communications is signed by several dis
tingushed citizens, among whom are Chevalier
John Happy and the Hon. Kwart Kegg. The other
comes from a single individual wellknown Ten
nessee fire-eater-in short, from the Hon, John
| Bilboa.
| At the last adviees from our Military Editor, he
was experimenting, under the immediate auspices
Of the Brazilian Government, grand topograph-
ical survey of series of routes through the noun
tains Of South America, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the practicability of removing the equi-
noxial line few degrees farther South to keep it
| from being run against and broken by South Caro-
lima when she secedes. This is stupendous work,
and there is but one man living who possesses the
necessary genius TO accomplish it, and he is now
employed upon it at an immense salary. As soon
as the work is completed he will return home and
resume his editorial duties.
| In the meantime, such communications as those
above referred to must lie over. Our Military Edi-
tors Home Secretary, the Hon. g. Washington
Bricks may answer one of them fer him in few
days if he can find time. But if he can't find time,
it is likely he won't do it. Nashville Patriot.
