Guilty with its diplomatic appointees. There Is
prospect that two of those sent to European Courts
will not be received. The Washington errespon-
dent of the New York World writes under date Of
the 18th:
1t is stated here that Mr.. F. W. Rice, the recently
appointed consul to Aspnwall, will not receive an
ercheouer from the Granadan Confederaey. Mr..
Rice has resided for many years at Panama, and
has been constant correspondent for one OF your
contemporaries. He was prominent applicant for
the Panama consulate, but owing to his unpopular
ity with the central government he did not receive
the appointment, for VIII oh he was eminently quail
fed. His marriage with family which Is IN the
interest of the revolutionary party, has somew hat
biased his views, and it feared his appoint
ment would not be satisfactory to the New Grana-
dian government Hence he was sent TO Asplnwall,
at which place it is feared he will meet with re-
buff not dssimilar from that which was anticipated
in case he went to Panama.

The milItIa.

The Governor has issued very important order
to the militia of the State, with which all officers
are expected forthwith to comply. Colonies of Reg
iments are expected to report Immediately the
strength of their corps and to drill at least once
month It is recommended that rifles be prepared
for the use Of the Minnie ball A pair of model
moulds will, for this purpose, be deposited in the
Offices of the County Courts. Vacancies in com
lnands are also ordered 10 be filed.
We hope to witness general compliance with
these orders and to see great activity prevailing
with the militia. 1t may become necessary to the
defence of the country to have the militia un.
der proper discipline and prepared to acI
as minute men. Every citizen should lend
his influence and assistance to perfecting its or
ganization and to drawing out its full strength
Every one should car
be procured. We would particularly recommend
attention to the instructions with regard to rifles
They may be made as effective as any weapon, by
using the Minrie bail and for this purpose, it is
ne cessary to get the moulds and make balls.
We would invite attention to the general order
of the Commander in Chief.

The Permanent Constitution of the Con-
fedeTatc States.

Representative CAN'T, from Maury, yesterday in
PRODUCED bill to submit an Ordinance to the people
of Tennessee, for the adoption Of the permanent
constitution of the Confederate States. The ordi-
nance viii be submitted at the regular election in
August as provided by the bill. We beg leave to
say that We fully concur in this measure, and we
trust it viii pass both Houses Of the Legislature.
1t must be quite evident, that any special election
in the present excited state of the public mind, is
not necessary. however unanimous may be the pub
lie sentiment with reference to the question submit
ted. There should be nothing to provoke the least
discussion or controversy, even among small
number of the people, nor should there be any
diversion from the great and important matter Of
the public defence.
We take it as quite certain that the ordinance
you'd either now or in August pass with unaninl'
ity unparalleled. But Tennessee is now member
of the Southern Confederacy, acting under the pro
visional constitution and it should give US no IN
easiness if the question of adopting the permanent
constitution is deferred until the regular election IN
August, especially when we know that its ratifica-
ton is certain. We shall soon republish this con-
stitution for the benefit of our readers.

AGun Mandatory,

On Monday last the initiatory steps were taken te
establish Gun Mandatory at this place. There
are number of competent gunsmiths in this and
adjoining countless whose services can be procured
and some of citizens acting upon a sense of the
pressing emergencies Of the times have formed
themselves into joint stock company and raised
the necessary means to set them to work immedi
atey Suitable buildings with steam power, all
ready for operation, have beef promised, /and the
necessary tools, machinery, &C., viii be procured
as speedily as possible.
Steps were also taken to establish Powder Mil
st some suitable point in this county and consid
cradle amount of stock subscribed.
The object is to raise $4,000 for the Gun Manu-
factory, IN one hundred shares-being $50 to the
share-to be paid calls of So on ten days notice
THIS amount it is thought viii set the Mandatory
in successful operation and after that the proceeds
from the sale of guns to the State Will pay current
expenses.
For the Powder MiI much smaller sum will
suffice
In the Gun Mandatory there will be from thirty
to fifty hands employed in the various departments
and after they get regularly to work it is expected
they will turn out from thirty 10 fifty guns per
week. A few more such establishments as this
would soon arm the gallant boys of Tennessee, and
we earnestly hope that other counties will soon be-
gin to move in the same direction Our State calls
for arms, and without them the " Volunteer State
must suffer not only in reputation, but will be
invaded and oyerrun by the enemy.-Puldski CHI
