A Word Of Advice,

The original secessionists of the coun-
try were composed of the ardent, fiery,
impatient. patriotic spirits of the South;
but in the cooperation or Union ranks,
constituting a majority of the voters Of
Tennessee and other border States, there
has been very large proportion of hon
est, firm, patriotic, rejecting, cool men,
who have hoped that patient and firm
appeals made to the justice of the North
would secure such constitutional guaran-
tees as would fix the border States,
bring back the seeded States, and lead
to peaceful settlement Of all our nation
al difficulties, and happy reunion Of
the disturbed political fragments Of a
great nation. But the predictions of Sc
cessionists have been verified in the ter
rible events now upon the country, grow
ing out of Linooln's laundering. vascil
lating. fsuatical misrule, and the hopes
and patience of cooperation patriots
have failed. Many Union men gave up
hope when the Peace Congress and Crit
tenden propositions failed, and host OF
other good Union men of more patience
and hope are now ready to give up, since
Lncoln's reason is dethroned, and in
stead Of cooperating with the Uuion eff.
forts, he has chosen to resort to the great
argument Of tyrants-the bullet and the
bayonet. Now, the advice we have to
give is, spread .he facts before our coun-
trymen-our Union friends and neigh
bors-fully and kir dly, in conversation,
in speech, and in writing; taunt not.
twit not, upbraid not, on account OF
difference heretofore in views and action,
but receive them as they como, nth
open arms and cordial embrace, as broth
ers. who hare always aimed at the same
| great object

number of troops landed at Cairo on Mon.
day night is four hundred and fifty, and
that they are mostly raw German volun-
teers from Chicago, and that two hundred
more have been left 5ut on the Illinois
Central Railroad to guard and protect the
bridges. The presence of such a large
military force took the people of Cairo all
aback. They seem to regard the soldiery
with distrust and suspicion. On ques-
tioning the officers, they explained that
the force had been sent down there to
protect the peace and go'd order of the
city, and to repress mob violence from
