CONDITION OF THE BosToN SHIPPING
TRADE.-The Boston Irapeler of yester-
day says:
Our ships are away, many of them on
distant voyages; about 40 are in New York,
and an immense fleet in the Atlantic trade.
Many of these last are now on their way to
Southern ports, but will all be ordered
North. Our shipping does not seem TO
accumulate much yet in ports, although it
may in the course of a month or two
We are now having great many arrivals
daily from foreign and domestic ports.-
Only few more Southern cargoes are to
come into Boston. We are well supplied
here with every kind and description Of
foreign and domestic goods, and the store
houses are full to OVERLOOKING with goods
brought from every quarter OF the world.
There is really no sale for any goods except
to meet the daily consumption, which these
times haye reduced to the smallest possible
amount. Most of the Indiamen have arrived,
and the prospects do not warrant she load
ing of any more, as all kinds of India pro-
duce has now to be stored.

Secession Murders in Tennessee.


Senator Johnson was 10 speak ia Knox

was made, when Parson Brownslow, editor
of The Wig, sided with johnson. We
have no full account Of the result, but the
following letter, in The Macon (Ga.) TEL

which followed:
"The Volunteers of the E. I. Regiment
are at present attacking the town, declaring
death to Brownlow, Maynard, Baxter, and
the Unionists here. There have been al
ready several shot, and probably killed.
Maynard had to run for his life-is now

the house or store that he is in, One man
killed by somebody firing from the Laymar
House window at him. The X. Guards,
20 men, are called out to quell the mob,
which has 700 men ia it. The stores are
all closed tight. One hundred men are sta
toned at BrownIow's house, the same at
his office. The mob intend to keep in OPP

The Government has satisfactory infor-
nation that the Commissioners Of the Con
tolerate States in Europe have met in Eng
land, a decided and emphatic refusal to
recognize their pretensions. Lord John
Russell, with whatever uncertainty he may
have expressed himself on other points,
made no concealment in regard to this
matter. The same intelligence comes from
the French Government. The French
Emperor and Mr. Thouyenal were decided.
Information to the foregoing effect has
been received by Diplomat s. in Washing
ton, and the news is well accredited, anu
is a matter Of discussion IN Diplomatic cir
cles.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--The reports
that the confederate commissioners had -
interview with Lord John Russell and
Thouvena, and had been told they couldn't
be recognized, are considered incorrect.
The latest arrivals from Europe only
brought news that they had not been rec
ognized in London. OF the same charac-
ter is the report that Mr.. Stewards prop
osition to accede to the Paris declaration
abolishing privateeling has been rejected.

Here, too we have been obliged to 90 outside
the limits of the Register. 1t will, at first, strike
the reader as absurd to allow 2S2,OO0 men as the
available strength of a nominal $4,000, when
over 100000 are allowed but 26l 100. This
apparent discrepancy arises altogether fromFtwo
stubborn facts: In the first place, the militia Of
any State is not obliged to leave it. In the sec
end place, the Northern militia is all outside the
limits OF the seat of war, while that of the South
is within it, 50 that in reality allowing 26l 100
as the moyabh army from tho Moth, is going to
the last extent of probability, while putting the
turn out strength at their own doors of the South
ern forces, Is making It at as low as it could be
made. Forts, arsenals and barracks have been
captured in every Southern State, and il they are
retaken, soldiers must march to them as matters

Northern States have as many available mon in

Granting that they could raise 350O0O instead ol
2Gl 100, and, that all who were required to DO 80
would willingly volunteer the force kept at home,
from motives ofpolcy, custom d security should
not be less than 10000, 80 that the available

1000 men and feed and supply it on the road
and Mr.. Lincoln being pledged mot to niolest

the people ef the invaded States, his Government
could do It less than any other Power. Thirdly,
The North can never raise l6l 900 for out side
fighting. Were she attacked at home, Il Is moro
likely, as all military men will see, that three mill
ions could be brought into the field, than 26l,00O
could be accumulated for journey.
Those who argue thatwe are raising volunteers
and not militia gain nothing by the point. The
volunteers and militia combined are only the mill
tia, ID acalcuatiye sense, for the militia is put
down at It's possible, not its real strength. New
