Guns. Or no Gums

Certain we ikkneed classes have contrived
to brighten themselves with the idea that we
have not guns enough for the pending con
fict. Fortunately this is baseless delusion.
Within less than five days from now, there
will be in Tennessee public arms enough for
more than twenty-five thousand men, and
upon good authority we are assured that the
time IS not distant when that number is ex-
pected 10 be increased to not less than fjliv
Thousand. All this besides the home guns in
the hands of the people. About seventeen
thousand of the guns already obtained have
been furnished us by the Confederate States.
The future supplies are expected from them.
VT the very classes protesting most appre-
hension that we will not have guns enough,
are those who propose to vote in June against
uniting with the Confederate States. II their
votes should be successful. We will be reduced
to the less than ten thousand guns belonging
to Tennessee. If they are voted down. we
will be backed by the combined armament of
q united South. These same classes nrevent.

Nesrs ". H. Ha,ckins, l. II. L. Barker and
Others:
DEAR SIRs Yours of the 29th ult, re-
qnesting me TO speak at Huntingdon on the
ii h inst, did not receive until yesterday,
having been absent last week
l should be glad to appoint day when /
could comply with your request, but am I'M
able on account of a sore throat.
| recognize Gas sOrrowfully as any MANI the
fact that the Union is at an end. l had no
agency in producing the result. Tennessee,
L am proud to say, had no hand in it but it
Is done. aud We must all, sooner or later,
recognize the TACT. After North Carolina.
Virginia, Arkansas, and probably Mary land,
shall have gone out of the Union, what will
remain in it to attract Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee? Even if we had no grievances to
complain of, if We had indemnity for the past
and security for the future, upon what prin-
ciple OF interest or sympathy could those three
States consent to become the despised and
suspected tail end Of a Black Republican
Government, rather than the respected equals
in a Union with their Southern friends
Presented in this simple aspect, as mere
matter of choice, | cannot understand how
their feelings could induce those three States
to stay liz Black Republican Union in pref
erence to an honorable alliance with their
eIStcE COuIueTu STATES.
But that is not all of the question, by far.
The old is Union of equals no longer,
but an abolitiOnized despotism. The Presi-
dents call for 5000 troops was violation
OF lava usarpation of power which be-
lOnged to Congress. His blockade of South
ern pOr is a like usurpatiOn upon any by
pOthesis, and his seizure of our property up
on the Mississippi, is clear infractioa of
pain provisions of the Constitution.
Ii he has power to seize our arms upon
the river, he has equal right to seize them at
our homes-and how long will it be before
this government at Washington will initiate
the example of the British Crown, before our
revolution, and send among US armed SOL
diery to search our homes aud take away
our arms?
We are now actually in state of war
Tennessee with the South en- one side and
the Federal Government on the Other-each
party is arming with xpedition-preparing
Tor the terrible Ordeal-and still some among
us cry peace, peace.
whom we can appeal Not one-all are en-
gagged in supporting, promoting and urging
on the war upon US.
Our only alternative is submission and
tn fate of slayes-or resistance and the fate
of freemen-an honorable triumph. or glo-
rious death. Be it what it may, / am for re-
sistance. We have been deceived long
enOugh-that was their fault. If we are to
be deceived by them again, it will be ours,
ours only.
am very respectfully, yours, &c.

STILL LATER.

WASHINGTON, May 24-As supposed, late
last night, several regiments, with the New
Jersey and Michigan brigades, Ellsworth's
Zouaves. and the District Militia. crossed in
to Virginia. The Virginia pickets having
been previously driven in by an advance
guard One of the Regiments took the road
leading to Fairfax Court House, about 20
miles from Washington, while another. the
New Jersey regiment, stopped at the Forks a
mile from Long Bridge, awaiting orders An
advance into Virginia was also made from
another point, namely, at the mouth OF the
Potomac Acqueduct. The seventh New
York regiment was among the troops and al
ter several hours march, reached point be-
tween The bridge aad Columbia Springs on
the line of the Washington and Alexandria
Railroad.
The District of Columbia troops returned
to Washington this morning.
From to 10 thousand troops were sent
into Virginia this morning. Firing was heard
occasionally by the driving in of Virginia
pickets.
NINE O'CLOCK. A. M.-The New York
Zouaves and the 14th and 69th and New
Jersey regiments hold Alexandria, while the
Arlington Heights are occupied by several
regiments The entrance into Alexandria
was attended by an event which has cast the
deepest gloom over the community; Col, Ellie
worth, who had hauled down the Secession
flag from the Marshall House, was soon after
wards shot by concealed foe. His body
has been brought to the Washington Navy
Yard.
The account from Alexandria is somewhat
contradictory, but there is no doubt of the
fact that man named jackson, who shot
Ellsworth, was instantly put to death-some
say by both bullet and bayonet. When the
Federal troops reached Alexandria, the Vir-
GINA soldiers fired at them and fed. Visit
ors to that city say that the scenes were in
tensely exciting. Federal vessels were in the
meantime before Alexandria. IL seems true
that the body of Federal troops has advanced
to Fairfax Court House to take possession of
the junction of the Orange and Alexandria
and Manassas Gap Railroad, with view of
intercepting the advance of Virginia troops
towards Alexandria from Richmond and 9TH
er points.
Nearly 5000 troops arrived at Washington
yesterday.
IL O'CLOCK. A. MI Is reported that as
the Virginia troops retired from Alexandria,
one was killed by return shot from the Fed
eral forces. There is prospect of capturing
fugitives. Among the forces sent over TO
Virginia were two battalions and two COM
panies Of artillery. The news Of the death of

short sermon.

TEu s-nHe hath put forth his hands against such
be peace with him he hath broken his covenant
but WEI in his heart his words were softer
than oil, yet were they drawn swords -Ps- 55-20-z1
Whoever may have been the original an
swering to this picture, it is unquestionably
a living likeness. drawn by the pencil of in
spiration, of the Abolition Government of the
North. Let US look at the portrait.
LIST 1t is an undeniable fact, everywhere
proclaimed, never seriously questioned, that
the olive branch or the sword, the decision
of peace or war, was with the North. The
Lincoln Government decided for war.
End. 1t is an undeniable fact, that the South
were for peace, prayed for peace, offered
terms for peace, and every solitary peace
offering. in the Peace Congress and in Con-
gress itself, was from the South and every
solitary one of those offerings were rejected
by Northern pertinacity, unanimity and in
corrigibility that has filled both hemispheres
with establishment. " He hath put forth his
hands against such as be at peace NTH HIM"
E 3rd. 1t is an undeniable fact that Abr. Lin
coin has violated the Constitution of what
was once the United States of America, in
the most fragrant manner. Congress alone
has the right " to declare wer, grant letters
of MARQUE and REPRISAL. and make rules
concerning captures on land and water, to
raise and support armies, to provide and main
tain navy, and to provide for calling forth
the militia" (See Cons. U. s., Art. 1, Sec.
8, items 11-12-13-15.)
Before assembled thousands, Mr.. Lincoln
swore to observe and maintain that Consti
tuition, but in the face of millions be has dis
regarded it. Shades of Washington per-
jured President!! He hath broken his covenant.
4h. 1t is an undeniable fact, that the pro.
LESSONS of Mr.. Lincoln in his Inaugural sol
EMMY declared for peace, and in his positive
personal avOwals to statesmen and civilians,
Hon. John Bell and Chief Justice Campbell,
aud others, that can be overwhelmingly
proved, were, that. there should be no war.
And then the oily tongue of his prime minis
ter-everybody reoOllects what encourage
ment Mr.. Stewards two speeches gave to the
friends of peace. Yet all the time, we are now
fully advised. preparatory plans were laid to
iRaugurate the impending crisis, thus reveal
ing duplicity and perfdy in diplomacy abb
solutely without parallel. {" The tcords Of
his mouth sceTe smoother than butter, but lcQr sCds

Shall we add the denunciations of Gods
words against such. Verse Is: "Let death
