triot of the 25th says:
Certain weak-kneed classes have contrived to
Brighten themselves with the idea that we have not
guns enough for the pending conflict. Fortunately
this is baseless delusion. Within less than five
days from now. there will be in Tennessee public
arms enough for more than twenty-five thousand
men, and upon good authority we are assured that
the tiTe is not distant when that number is ex-
pected to be increased to not less than fifty thou
sand. All this besides the home guns in the hands
Of the people. About seventeen thousand of the
guns already obtained have been furnished us by
the Confederate States.

accepts the code adopted at the Congress Of Paris

AS WE EXPECTED.
We take the following from the. Charleston Mer,

We take the following from the Charleston Mer-
curry of the Gath inst.
gentleman, who has the information from
trustworthy source, informs us that the Southern
Congress, previous to its adjournment undonbt-
eddy passed an act making it a penal offence to
export cotton out of the Confederacy by any other
channel than through the seaports of the Confed-
crate States.
That is just what we expected, and what we
predicted, some weeks ago. We believe the Cres
cent was the first journal in the South that men
toned the matter. 1t is well that such law has
been enacted, although we are of opinion that not
one planter, out of hundred, would have shipped
his cotton northward as long the ports remained
in state Of blockade. But, as there may be some
traitors who would give " aid and comfort y to the
enemy, for the sake of filthy lucre, the proprety
Of the law cannot be questioned.
Let the cotton remain safely on the plantations
until our coasts are cleared, peace made, and our
independence acknowledged. This will be done,
as it ought to be, and the sooner the irreversibe
determination of the Confederate Government is
made known to the world, the better for all con-
cerned. The cotton would not be safe in the large
Cities in consequence. of its combustible qualities,
ETC., and the delay will pay good interest to the
owners Patience is a cardinal Virtue-as much
SO as prompt action in WARM this instance.
Patience The skies are bright and Frightening.

VIGILANCE CoMRfITTEEs.

We hear whispers every day that there
is Vigilance Committee in this city, pre-.
pairing to hunt out and punish Secession
lists in their own way. For The good name
of Chicago, we hope no such organization
will be permitted here. Weknow not who
il responsible for its existence, nor what is
the code by which its victims are to be tried
end punished; but we do know that
there is no crisis which calls for the
introduction Of lynch law, and that all
attempts in that direction should be indig-
nantIy f1owned down. Ours is apoor and
worthless cause if twill not bear the criti-
cism of individuals here and there, chiefly
natives of the slave States, in our midst.
II there is reason to believe that the laws
and public opinion are not capable Of deal
ing properly with the enemies Of the Be.
public, let Committee Of Safety be ap'
pointed from among our mcst worthy citi
zens, at public meeting called for the
purpose; and Let that Committee exercise
its functions openly in 1he face OF day
There is no use ior even such an organiza
tion-; certainly none for tribunal which
registers its .dcc1ees in secret, upon erpaTa
and probably false and malicious testi
mony. Do.not for the sake Of the gooe
name Of our city, permit lawlessness anf
violence to mar the work IN which we art
