At large meeting of the citizens of the vicinity
Of Union School-house, Summer county, irrespec-
tive Of party, it was unanimously resolved that
LEVI CANT take the Chair, and JAMES W. REDDIcE
be appointed Secretary.
DR.. JAMES NJ. HEsD then announced the names of
the following gentlemen to draft resolutions
pressing the views of this meeting which the
Chairman confirmed: a. W. HUNTER, CHRIsLE7
HoDGEs, e. L. H. REDDIcK, JOSEPH WEoT and DR..
RAYMOND HEAD.
Inc committee then retired. when Maj. MARION
GILLESPIE was called out, and responded in telling
speech, showing plainly the duty of loyal citizens
at this critical time. During his speech the Com
mittee returned, and reported the following prean-
bic and resolutions
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln has assumed by usur-
patton, powers not warranted by the Constltu
| ton and laws OF the Federal Government but in
| plain violation Of both, has declared war upon
peaceable citizens of one-half of the Confederacy
| and now threatens to invade the South with de-
vastating and oyer-powering army; with sword in
one hand and halter in the other, with a view OF
subduing a free and loyal people. Therefore,
Be ResolUed, That, we, with one voice denounce
| Abraham Lincoln as an arrant tyralt, and that he
deserves thus to be branded by the whole human
family; that we hold that he, himself in effect has
dissolved the Union: that we are no longer bound
over which he pretends to preside.
RESOLVED, That, we do, and will favor immediate
separation from the Federal Government, and that
Tennessee forthwith take backfrOm the usurper the
power which our fathers delegated to the Govern
ment for our welfare, and not our oppression.
Resolved That our sympathies are with the Sout1
that her destiny interest and fortune, Is ours; ina
her battles in future are our battles.
ResolUed, That approve the noble response O
Gov. Harris, to the call of Lincoln for troops, Il
fight our brethren.
Resolved That we recommend the formation II
this neighborhood, of a company for the protecuoI
of our homes, or the defense of our rights abroad
| If necessary.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously, afte
which, DR.. JAMES NJ. HEAD was called, and made al
interesting speech.
WM S. MUNDY, Esq., was then called, and respond
ed in one of his happiest efforts. DIR. RAYMOND HEA
then addressed the audience for a few minutes.
The company which is being MADE up, then form
ed line and went through short drill. Boys no
sixteen, and old men over sixty have joined tn
Home Guard" at this place, which is located in
neighbOrhood which has hitherto paid but little al
tention to politics. Sumner is in a blaze.

CAMDEN, April 2sth, 1861.
Editors Of the Union and American:
The citizens of Benton county were called to-
gether at this place to-day, when there assembled
about three hundred. The object of the meeting
was to call for volunteers for the protection of the
South Some half dozen speeches were made by
gentlemen who had heretofore differed upon politi
cal issues but to-day all were of one mind, all
participated in the enthusiasm for Southern princi-
pies and the sovereignty of the States. In a COM
paratively short time SiItyto1T volunteers were
raised with fair prospect of several other com.
panies. The company is to fully organise next
Saturday. There was call also for a company to
be called the Home Guard TO defend and protect the
State. and relieve the wants of the women and chill
dren whose husbands and fathers were engaged in
defence of the South. One hundred of our citizens
promptly stepped forward and enrolled their
Names
The assemblys attention was then called to the
course Fof ANDREW JOHNSON in the Senate of the
United States, when upon fair vote, every citizen
in the large assembly voted to instruct Senators
and Representatives in the Legislature to intro
duce a resolution requesting and instructng him TO
resign his seat in the U. s. Senate. When the mega
tive proposition put there was not one vote for
it. STATE RIGHTs

The yankee Despo,ism at wasn.ng,on.

The declaration of war against the Southern States
is gross and fragrant usurpstion, There is no
authority given by the Constitution TO the Federal
Executive to make war at all The Federal Congress-
itself has no power to make war upon the States
That power was proposed to be granted in the Con-
vent:on which framed the Constitution and express
ly and emphaticaly refused
The action of President Lincoln is, therefore,
palpable usurpation of dictatorial powers 1t is
clear invasion of the rights of the people and the
States, and subversion Of Free Government.
The contest now is the same in which our fathers
Fought is for the great principle of Free Gov
ernment-it is for Liberty or Death The authori-
ties in Washington and at the North, while profes-
sing Peace, have been, duping the last month exert
ing all their energies to organize fan army for
the invasion and subjugation of our land. Their &C
ton is purposeess. without object if it does not
contemplate our subiugatlon. Our country is to be
overrun by invading armes-our lives endangered,
our lberties oppressed, property pil.aged, our
hearths profaped. Yankee Proconsuls are to be
quartered upon the people to harry and despoil
them. This is the programme-or 1t is the most
senseless ana useless proceeding ever perpetrated.
Shall we tsmely bend our necks to the yoke-and
such yoke!

following correspondence:
OFFICE ST. LOUIS INSURANCE COMPANY,
ST. LOUIS, April 26, 1861.
His Ecceuency, Richard Yates Governor Of Illinois,
Springfield.
SIR: have the honor to transmit herewith, under
charge of Walter 3. Foster Esq, who visits you in
behalf of this Beard, sUndry documents in relation
to the seizure and detention at Cairo, by the Mill
tary Commandment of that point, of certain articles
of merchandise on board the steamer G. E. Hill
man" on her voyage from this port to Nashville
Tenn. The affidavit of Mr.. Runyan one of our re-
spectacle eitisens show clearly that the goods in
question were shipped in the regular course Of
business, on orders from his correspondents, mer-
chants of Nashville and not destined for any of the
seeding States, or the people thereof. BEING con-
signed to parties in State in the Union, this pros
perty thus seized was covered by insurance by our
Underwriters, at the regular rate. without suppos-
ing that the trade between two border Union States
would be thus interrupted and property of our
citizens seized and cenfscated without notice.
l sincerely trust that on full consideration of this
case, in all its bearings on the commerce between
States still in the Union, its effect the present
excited feelings of the people on cur Western
tiers, your EXcelency will cause the property so
seized and detained to be surrendered the proper
