Tie people OF Tennessee, at the polls. voted
their state cut Of the federal union on Satur-
day, and appearances indicate that Kentucky
will follow.
It may be, however, that the administratio IN
will prevent this, hy throwing an immense
number Of troops into the State, (as was the
case IN Maryland,) and thus keep it in the
union at the point Of the bayonet. But The
task viii not Do az easy as Il was in Mary
land, and rivers Of blood will flow before the
subjugation Of Kentucky could be effected, if
indeed, such a thing we're possible at all.
The administration is moving its f7rce slow
" and cautiously towar Harper's Ferry, and
it is probable that lie FIRST great blow will
there by struck. The confederates may, how
ever, should the odds be largely against them,
e~vacuate the place in order to concentrate
their united strength for the defense Of Rich
mond, as itis wen known this important point
is the ultimate aim Of the federaitroops.
The letters Of Mr.. Russell TO the Times ara
severely denounced by the supporters Of the
government, as they are believed to misrepre-
sent the true facts Of the case, and to be pref
udiced unwarrantsbly in favor OF the South.
For my own part, SO far as ! have noticed, the
letters written from the South have generally
been very accurate; at least, ss much SO as

A C-HARAcTERIsTlc IScIDEET.-It is related
that during the debate on the Missouri cues
ton, 2 senator from South Carolina introduced
into the senate Of the United States a docu-
meRt from the custom house Of Charleston
exhibiting The name and owners Of vessels en-
gagged in the African slave trade. In reading
the document he name OF De Wolfe was re-
p~eatedly called. De Wolfe, who was the
senator elect from Rhode Island, was present,
but had not been qualified. Toe Carolina
senator was called to order. "Order, order -
echoed through the sonata chamber. at is
contrary to order to call The name Of a sena-
tor" said a distingi ished gentleman. The
senator contendea be was not out Of order, for
the senator from Rhode Island was not quail
fed, and consequently not entitled to a seat.
He appealed to the chair. Tne chair replied,
"You are correct, sir, proceed;'' and proceed
be did, calling q G name OF De Wolfe 50 often,
that before he had finished the document, be
had proved the honorable gentleman the i'm
porter Of thres-fourt6s oe the poor Africans
brought to the Charleston market, and the
Rhode Island abolltionist b0lted, amid the
syapatbies Of bis comrades and the sneers Of
the auditors.
@ The Camden Dark } Eagle has the fol-
lowing "word of caution" which is applicable
to other sections Of the Confederacy:
In al probability Arkansas will soon be he
scene Of war, and her exposed frontier and i'm
portant position viii demand a strong defense.
We would advise those whose ardor and chiv-
airy would prompt them to fy to the immediate
relief OF the Confederate States, to reflect that
Arkansas viii need al her valiant sons in her
own borders and perhaps mere. Stay sthome
Until tue assistance is asked for and required
By the Southern Confederaey-fo It is our
duty to our homes aud cur own citizens. Be
assured that Arkansas will need the services
Of her own brave men, and that, perhaps, in a
very short time.
