ROLL OF THE REBEL SrATES-NI IN B-TEN-
ELEVEN

EIsEN IN
Arkansas has responded here to the call Of the roll Of
States in instruction against Linconism. Tennessee
answers-here Two States in the Southern league
for the protection of Southern property and lbsrties
az inst Northern invasion Two more sovereign cham
pons in these degenerate times Of the sacred rights OF
selegoy erument among men.
LIT us count up the physical all which thus brought
TO the common cause:
Arkansas brings a gross population Of 4ll,775 of
whom 83 7O are free whites and among them as brave
race OF men as were ever trained TO the of erms,
and hardened 20 war by the bald life OF the hunter.
Tennessee follows with the gross numbers Of ,li6 Gao
of whom $50 52S free whites The men are OF the
hardest rccs Of the temperate cline mylds of these
mountain bred sons OF the SOIL whose salwart frames
are capable Of any hardship and whose free hearts pant
for the strife in Leba OF their iahcrland. Tennessee
has given regiment upon 20 Che common cause
when had the alg Of common country 10 rphold She
will double her contribution, and double It again TO the
armies of liberty when that fl waves in front OF hos
tile INVASION desecraed 10 the purposes OF brutal war
on their own liberties.
The ding States soon be Confederate States aye
already ten There are twelve hundred thousand free
whites thus added to the "urlavful combination OF the
rebelous States whose term Of mercy under Lincoln 5
proclamation, expir,d only threa days ago
But there IS another State coming The name OF North
Carolina has been called and she is ready with her an
swer As soon the reach her chivalrou5
psople the response will come back IN the unanimous
shout Here ready Set down North Carolina eleven
The good old North State is pair for her daughter
Tennessee. State OF quiet unambitous, unexeitsbe
men, who are not moved 10 rise into sudden passion
against The order Of government under which they can
live while governments are toelab.e and grievances
have a legitimate and peaceful process open to them.-
When wrouged and reused their anger terrible
the invader L. i no bzipC stgbbe, but the red hot
powshare on which Liuc1ui'm must travel in this march
o. corq lest which is Wanting chiefs propose over Tie
soil OF the South.
These ven States arc eqral in number to The eleven
States of which the whole Uocd States was composed
when the constitution of 1887 went into opention-
There were only States 10 vote az tie first election oil
President New York was in but did rot vote. The
census of 1890 taken three years Afterwards returned
an agg-ega p1pulon for these eleven States oil 5000
goo and for Tree whites 29i99'3
The eleven States which Cer ,h-m dives IN arm- tor

own Constitution against the uurra.i'rs Of lncolnisn,
have by census, taken last wear, aggregate OF

Thus. Confederate Southern States have lA. y more
than twice the whole population OF Che eleven States
"a licb nut the Constitution OF the Cuei States into
operation, AID two and halt Millions more o. white
