Reports are in circulation that COM
pany il organizing in Roane county to
burn the Railroad Bridge al Loud9n. We
can hardly believe any one would engage
IN such lawless and desperate acts. The
Railroad belongs in part to the State of
Tennessee, aud il is the duty Of the au-
tlorities TO see that it is mot injured or
destroyed, and to arrest and promptly
punish all marauders or incendinres who
may threaten it. We repeat. We can hard
ly believe the reports of an organized ef-
fort to burn the Loudon bridge. But If
there be any misled men meditating such
an attempt, we adnionish them in sin.
cerity to abandon it at once, or they will
bring swift and sure destruction on their
own heads. Mr.. Lincoln cannot send any
troops to East Tennessee, as in less than
forty days he will not be able to protect
himself. The State has cast an over
whelming majority in favor of Separa.
ton from die Federal government, and It
is the duty Of all its citizens, whether
they reside in West, Middle, or East Ten
nessee, to ocquiesce in that verdict. II
they did not intend to acquiesce, they
should not have recognized the legality
of the election by participating in it at
the ballot-box. Every man who voted in
the election recognized its legality aud
by the act of voting pledged himself, as
an honest and loyal citizen of the Com
monwealth, to abide the result. Heed
not those WHO counsel resistance, if there
be any such now; they are not friends,
but enemies; and will desert and leave all
who follow them 10 their fate at the first
real peril.

Do We Live Under Despotismp

What is this, which according to the
Tribune) the President has done? Sim
ply this. By his own fiat, and not only
without color Of law, but against all law,
he has seized upon all the original dis
patches which private individuals have,
during the last year, deposited in the tel.
egraph offices of the principal cities for
Transmission to their correspondents
These dispatches are confidential, and it
is criminal offence for a telegraph ope-
mtor to divulee them. But the Presi-
dent at one fell swoop takes possession Of
them all, violates their confidential char
acter, and exposes to the eyes of his
agents all the private correspondence Of
the country, whether Of business, po-
litcal or social character.
The next step may be, to seize all the
letters in the postoffice and open and
read them. This would be quite rs .justi-
fable as the seizure of telegraphic dis
patches. The public mind of England
was startled few years ago, by the dis
covery that the postofiice had been vio-
lated in n few instances by the Govern
ment, and suspected letters had been
opened to obtain information. A storm
of indignation was poured upon tho head
Of the Minister who sanctioned this vio-
lation of private correspondence. If the
President has done what the Tribune
above alleges, we do not hesitate to de.
nounce the act as high.handed out
rage, unexampled under free Govern.
ment, and only congenial to n despot.

The Position Of England She Must
be Punished. o

The New York Times is not at all pleas
ed with the course of England. Hear
how the Little Villain" talks in recent
issue:
1t is evident from the conduct Of the
English Ministry, and the tone Of por-
ton Of the English press, that there is an
active sympsthy felt in that quarter for
the movements of the Southern traitors.
There can be no doubt that the English
Government is disposed in every way to
lend them aid and comfort, and we shall
soon have evidence affording us that they
are ready to extend TO them. material
support The movements Of Mr.. Russell,
the correspondent of the London Times,
are very suspicious. 1t seems by recent
despatch from Mobile to a Charleston pa
per, that he has recently paid visit to
one of the Southern forts, and took occa-
sion to make some useful Suggestions to
the commander, from the knowledge he
had gained in the Crimea!. "A Southern
paper also speaks patronizlngly of him,
and of his intended visit TO a relative in
jackson, Mississippi, and in fact he seems
to be a pet and avorite so far all over the
South Let him beware. We have now
in addition, too, the facts Of the insolent
conduct of the English Consuls at Norfolk
and Havana, and the refusal Of he Persia
to bring arms and munitions Of war pur-
chased in England by the agents of our
government. IN the face of these and
other startling omens, it behooves our gov
eminent to be the more firm and vigilAnt,
for here is the most subtle and powerful
enemy we have to contend with.

Middle anal west ronnessee.

The returns from Middle and West
Tennessee, as far as received, show that
most Of the counties voted nearly unani-
mously for Separation and Representa-
ton. East Tennessee, North Of the River,
has gone largely the other way--the pro-
bablc majority $4,000. In what is known
as lower East Tennessee, composed Of the
counties of Monroe, McMinn, Polk, Rhea,
Meigs, Bledsoe, Scquatchie, Marion, Brad
ley, and Hamilton, the majority against
Separation is about 400. Monroe has
raised and sent forward 8 Companies of
Volunteers; McMinn, 2; Polk, 8; Rhea,
j; Meigs, Il; and Hamilton, 2.

Confiscation and Outlawry.

The war which Lincoln is waging
against the South has aroused the worse
passions ofthat class of men at the North
who have become the dupes Of the wild
est isms of the last few years. The New
York Tribune is representative of this
class and it holds the following atrocious
sentiments:
"If the punishment for treason can
ever be righteously invoked, the time to
inflict it is now upon us. Millions Of acres
in tie reJclhous States should be corfscated,
their hoitorous opners Janished, and their lands
sold 10 Northern immigrants whose presence
wiH carry loyalty Nth il. A fund from
these sales should be raised TO indemnify
the thousands whom >slaveholding bru-
tality has driven away. Others, whose
business has been ruined by the same
lawlessness, should be Unidentified from
the same source Northern claims on
citizens of Georgia, confiscated by the
State as they have been, should be paid
by confscating the property of Georgia
traitors. The leaders of the rebellion should
be outtawed By Congress, and every man author
ICED 10 HINT them doUn. No other law unless
il be that Of the drum head, can reach hem.--
The time for this crushing retaliation will
assuredly come. The nation demands it
at the earliest moment.
Could infamy concoct more execra-
bic scheme?

The Election at Nashville,

1t will be seen by the following para
graph, which we copy from the Patriot,
that the election passed of very quietly
1T Nashville:
INDEPENDENCE DAv.-Yesterday was the
day set apart for the expression Of the
wishes Of the people of Tennessee rela-
tive to the Declaration Of independence
passed by the Legislature; and the adop.
ton of the Constitution of the Provision
al Government of the Confederate States.
1t has been awaited with considerable
anxiety, The feeling among our citizens
was deep and all pervading. Neverthe-
less, there never was q quieter election
held in this city. Every voter who wish
ed, went TO the polls and cast his vote
unmolested. No attempt was made to
interfere with.the unrestrained exercise
of the right of suffrage; and if any one
failed TO make use of the ballot box to
express his wishes, it was his own fault
The charges which had been fully circu-
lated abroad, that q reign of terror pre-
vailed here, and that the so called Union
men would, if they dared vote, peril their
lives, were proven to have been entirely
gratuitou5 and slanderous. The oalmness
that prevailed throughout the day was in
striking contrast with the excitement
which usually accompanies even tile most
unimportant elections. 1t showed that
the people were acting with calmness and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS they were not un.
mindful Of the awful responsibility which
.hey had assumed, and that they had
weighed the consequences Of their action.
They had resolved TO be freed from the
old Government, and to enter upon new
ard untricd path, and they did not regard
tho occasion of recording their deterr,;;.

This Paper,

We dislike to obtrule upon the public
anything pertaining to our business at
this time, but We know VIC will be par.
doned for contradicting tho silly SORES
about the numerous Withdrawals from
Wins subscription list" since tho com.
mencement Of Lincolns war. The truth
is, not more than fifty papers have been
ordered to be stopped. No more than
that, certain True, The general prostra-
ton of business in the country has ma.
ierially diminished the advertising and
.job-work Of tho Office. Every paper,
North and South, has been affected in
the same way, and many of them, no
doubt, will be compelled to suspend. But
the subscription list Of the Post is Just as
large today as nj any period of its exis-
tence, and ii will continue to be publish
ed regularly every Friday, at two dollars
per year, as long as its present editor and
proprietor lives. We shall continue to
fill its columns with the latest news, most
stirring political events, Nc.
In conclusion, while We do not wish to
press any one for money wcpust ask all
who can possibly make il convenient to pay
up their anearages. In times like these,
we must all bear and forbcar--and thus,
by mutual accommodations, mixed with
n little Of that charity which is not alto

other and avoid great deal Of the en-
barrassment and distress the croakeFs are

B|- The quiet and orderly manner in
which the election passed off all over the
State, is sufficient reduction Of the sill

What they are Coming to,

The Washington Government started
out in this war with hundred millions.
Its expenses per diem of all sorts cannot
be for less than a million of dollars. BY
the meeting of Congress there will be a
hundred millions of deficiencies to meet,
and prospective expenditure of two or
three hundred millions to authorize and
to provide for. fla public debt be pub
lie blessing, the North is soon to be i'm
mersed in an ocean of complete beati-
tude. The end eff the first year of the
war will find debt Of five hundred mil
lions of dollars, and the prospect of an
indefinite increase. The only limit to
the debt will be in the capacity Of the
Northern market to take up the loans
That capacity is not very great, for your
Wall street capitalists are, in general,
but mere agents for foreign lenders of
money. In all New York there are not
a hundred million of dollars of genuine
New York capital for loan. All the rest
of the money they have had at command
has come from abroad, and belonged to
foreigners.

Petition for the Emancipation of
Slaves Nv Government.

A petition to Congress has been placed
at the Merchants Exchange, Boston, for
signatures, setting forth that o rebellion
against the laws and government of the
United States has for some time existed.
and does still exist, calling for a great
expenditure of treasure, and imperling
our nation, while slavery lies at the foun-
dation of the troubles; and that it is en-
inenlly desirable that slavery should be
removed if possible, safely, and with the
greatest benefit to all classes in the COM
munity, and to all parts of the country.
1t IS therefore proposed by the petition
ers that Government, rs q beginning
shall purchase all the slaves in Maryland,
Delaware, Missouri and Kentucky, at
three hundred dollars apiece, making in
the whole sum less than one hundred
and thirty millions Of dollars, which is
less than the sum paid in single year to
put down rebellion in this country. They,
therefore, desire Congress to pass law
in accordance with tho prayer Of their
petition.--NoSh. Patriot.

sum for the Cabinet.

There are now, says the N. Y. Day
Book, about 10000 soldiers in and around
Maryland 10 hold that "loyal," independ-
emit and sovereign State in subsection to
the federal government. lfany one OF
Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet is good at figures,
we propose the following sum for his con-
sideration:-lf il takes 10000 soldiers to
hold the little and loyal" State Of Mary
land in subsection. how many will it take
to suppress rebellion in all the powerful
States of Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida,
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas,
and Arkansas? Mr.. Iinqoln's war pro-
gramme will require an army Of at least
100000 men to suppress rebellion, and
then il he could suppress it, II will take a
stending army of at least 100000 men to
keep it suppressed. This immense stand
ing army would cost us 400, 900, 900 YEAR
in solid cash. Then we must estimate
that one third of our soldiers will die an
nualy in hot and unfriendly country,
which will make constant yearly drain
of 100000 Northern men to supply their
places. At this rate how many years
would ii take to depopulate the North?
If the Republican papers correctly indi-
cate Mr.. Lincoln's plans, we advise his
physicians to put blisters behind his ears
to draw off the hot and acid humors Of
his brain, for he must certainly be mad
stark, raving mad. In fact the whole
party talk and act like bedlamites.
