TnE MILITIA LAW AND THE NEwspA-

The MILITIA LAW AMI TEE NEwsPA-
pEas.--A resolution has been very prop
erly introduced 10 the Tennessee Legs
~lature exempling the printers employed
on daily newspapers from militia duty
The reasons for the move are given by
the Nashville Banner in the following
observations, which one can galnsay :
/" From no body Of men has the present
war drawn so largely, in proportion to
its members, as from the Typographical
Societies oil the South. We think we
can safely say that 10 body Of men, as
a general rule, possess more intelligence,
patriotism and public spirit. and when
tire toosin sounded, they were amongst
the first volunteers. To-day barely en-
ongh are left in this city to supply the
actual ueeG on our local newspapers -
Those who are now employed IN the
e@flices are generally men who are kept
at home BY peculiar circumstances. We
therefore sincerely trust that no member
of the Legislature will refuse his vote to
a measure which is designed TO relieve
the newspapers from such III smbarrass-
nent as seems likely to ensue, if they
do not. Tue people must have news
papers and newspapers must have print
Iers.'
