Views Of Mr.. Bell,

The Nashville Banner of the 10Th inst.
gives an authorized version of the remarks
made by Hon. John Bell at the meeting
held in Nashville on TIE 23d uIl. We ouots
the following from The speech as reported
Under the circumstances, what is the
hrst duty that patriotism and the safety and
honor of The State require at our hands -
10 organize the militia as efectually and
promptly as may be, 10 collect arms, pro-
vide all necessary munitions of war, and
be prepared for any emergency. The next
and not less important duty is to act with
such discretion as to promote unanimiiy of
feeling and 10 secure the hearty co-opera.
ton OF all our citizens, far as possible, in
6reas:ing the storm which threatens TO burst
over our heads. To meet the issue of such
war successfully, we must be able to
WELD the power of the whole State moral
and physical. No questions should be
raised, no unnecessary issues should be-
presented, calculated 10 produce distraction
and divisions among the people al such a
crisis. There are thousands OF worthy citi-
Zens who are not prepared 10 vote for se-
cession, nor 10 sanction proposition In
any form for separation of the State from
the Union tor any existing canse, who, new
enheless, if lefi undisiurbed by any such
dlstractlng question, would, with alacrity,
spring 10 their arms and fight shoulder TO
shoulder with their neighbors and country
men for the protection of The South aud It's
considerations making it highly expedient
10 attempt any change in our political rela-
lions al this time. Amid the excitement of
war, actual or threatened, it was not fit
time for the consideration and establish
ment OF any new political relations. The
dignity, safety, and honor of the States were
| deeply involved in all such questions, and
| they should be deferred TO a time of peace
and exemption from all such distractions
as lorbd deliberalion and reflection. There
are many neutrality-suspicious. TO be well
considered before we adopt the policy of
! separate Stale action, without reference TO
| our future connections with other States
The line which separate Tennessee from
the States of the Southern ConIeGeracy, on
the one hand, ard that which separates
US from our Northern neighbor, Kentucky
connected with us by equal ties of sympa-
thy, interest, and social intercourse, on the
other, must give rise TO frequent feuds and
disturbances on the one or the other, as
circumsr ance may force US TO separate from
the State or States bordering upon one line
and not from those bordering upon The olher
But there is another objection TO preciPi-
tale action in changing our political rela-
tions. Where is the necessity, the wisdom
or sound policy of such coursel 1t is
true we may be regarded as having placed
ourselves in a state OF quasi rebellion Dy the
reputation of the Presidents call for troops;
but why should we, by an authoritiye pub
lie act, place the Stale in position of ac-
tuaI rebellion, by declaring her out of ihe
Union, and thus defy the power of the Gov
eminent, in anticipation of such a war az
may never be forced upon Us :"

4 time TO Preach and a time to Fight

One of the most thrilling "reminiscences
in the American Revolution is related OF
General Peter MuhenbuEg, whose ashes
repose in the burying ground OF ''The Old
Trappe Church," in Montgomery county /,
this State. When the war broke out, Mu-
pal Church in Dunmore county, Virginia =
On Sunday morning he administered The
communion OF the LORDS Supper 10 his
charge, stating that in the afternoon OF that
day he would preach sermon on ''The
duties men owe 10 their country" At the
appointed time the building was crowded
with anxious listeners. The discourse, if
we remember correctly, was founded on a
text from Solomon-'"There is time for
every purpose and for every work" The
sermon burned with patriotic fire; every
sentence and intonalon told the speakers
deep earnestness in what he was saying
Pausing moment at the close OF his dis
course, he repeated The words of his text,
and then, in tones of thunder, exclaimed ;
The lime TO preach as past; "The time to fight
has come! and ,suiiingt he action 10 the word,
he threw from his shoulders his episcopal
robes aud stood before his congregation in
military uniform. Drumming for recruits
was commenced on the spot, and it is said
that almost every male of suitable age in

THE New MILITARY LAW.-Owing to the
great interest felt in reference to the Or
ganization of our Home Companies in ac-
cordance with the provisions of this new
law, we this morning give up large pro-
portion of our space to lengthy abstract OF
its main points, which we find in the State
Sentinel. We understand that our County
Commissioners expect our Home Companies
to organize in accordance with the pro7is-
ions of this law prior to receiving arms. If
thorough efficiency in discipline and tactics is
the object of our citizens now forming COM
panies, we see nothing in the abstract,
which is all of the law that has yet come
under our observation, TO find fault with
We understand tn at some of our companies
particularly object to the clause rendering
them subject to the orders of the Governor
Ifthey organize as Independent Companies
they will still have to obey requisition
from the Governor to defend any endanger-
ed portion of the State, or have their honor
which is regarded as dearer to a soldier
than all ese-badly furnished We pre-
sumo thatall who study the provisions of the
bill will, perhaps, become convinced that il
is better than no military law at all, though
it is somewhat complex.

THE regiments which the Eastern and
Middle States are sending to the battlefield
are, within themselves, communities full of
individual resource and inexhaustible adapt
ability to circumstances. Give them leather
and they will shoe the army; give them
needles and they will clotbe it; give them
spades and they will dig impregnable
trenches about it break down the bridges
over navigable streams, and their sinewy
arms will propel extemporaneous craft by
the oar, or handle the sail and steer the
helm until they reach the desired point :;
give them standing room on the field of
contest, and their firm nerves and quickness
of glance make every bullet fatal. The
Southern troops have no such qualities.

BThe 18th Regiment move their quar-
tiers this morning from Camp Morris, to the
hill just below the city and will pitch their
tents Immediately back of the coal mines.
This will be very pleasant location. The
camp will command fine view of the city,
and the parade ground will be little better
than where they are now located.
There was a rumor that Col. Dumont' 5
regiment-the sizth--will soon come to our
city. Upon what foundation the rumor
rests we do not know.
