TENNESSEE MOVING FOR SECESSION
Hon. Senator Borland, a distinguished
co-operationist, of Tennessee, writes to
his paper, the Memphis Enquirer, from
Washington City, in which he advises
Tennessee to act Immediately. That
"war is at her door," That Tennessee
must 90 with the North or the South.
He says:
AS to Andy Johnson, Emerson Ethe-
ridge and the few who, in the base hope
of getting office under Lincoln, sympa-
thize with them in their Black Republi-
can proclivities, let them cmigrate, before
the fate of the tories of the Revolution
ovcrtake them. But as for Tennessee,
as a State, and nine hundred and ninety
nine out of every thousand Of her people,
arc all Southern in principle, in interest,
in honor, in feeling and destiny. AS such,
every man is expected to do his duty
and woe to him who fails to do it. Time
was when we might fairly and safely
differ among ourselves upon questions of
policy, but that time is now past, the is
sue upon us is one of life and death; and
to doubt, now, which side to take, is to
be damned. The enemy is at our door,
and he who is not for us is against us.

ity of her people, as expressed by their

aour lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor" to the defence Of Georgia, if nee

SEcEss1oNIN ILL1No1s.-The Springfield
correspondent of the Chicago Times says,
that at the session of the present Legisla-
ture the collection of persons from all parts
of the State reveals some startling facts.
In case Southern Confcdcracy is formed
of all the slave States, there is q strong
probability that the State of Illinois will
be divided The people of Northern Illi-
nois have been in the habitsof taunting
the Egyptians with ignorance, and pha-
risaically arrogating to themselves all the
intelligence and virtue These things
ranlzle in the minds of the citizens Of
Southern Illinois, and create no little hos
tility A large share of Southern Illinois
is peopled with men from or descended
from citizens Of the slave States, and they
naturally sympathise with the South. The
opinion is freely expressed that an army
