The ELECTION in the city.

No election was ever conducted in Nashville with
strict regard to the rights and privileges of
voters of all opinions, as are informed by gen
tlemen who were at the different ward polls. Per
feet order and decorum were preserved at the
places of voting. Good humor prevailed, and all
seemed satisfied to cast their votes without excite
ment or any effort to unduly influence or control
the election.
At no previous election in Tennessee have the
people uttered their voice with 2 more profound
sense Of the responsibility attached to high act of
sovereignty, in which they felt their own honor
rights and happiness and those of their latest pos
terity to be directly involved. They have
spoken with a unanimity unparalleled, save,
perhaps, in the election in February, when,
trusting too confdingly in the patriotic in
tention of the Northern people and their DISPOSE
ton, on a sober second thought, to Go justice
TO the South, they gave an overwhelming majority
for sustaining the Union of their fathers, which
was msinterpreted by the LINCOLN Government into
readiness TO submit to any measure of usurpation
coercion and tyranny they might choose to enforce
upon the South This election Will effectually cor
rect the fatal error into which the cabinet Wash
ton were led by the expression of people, of de-
vOton to the Constitution and the Union, who have
never submitted to oppression and wrong and never
will so submit until every frec-born citizen shall
be struck down by the hOrdes of tyranny. Such
returns have received, indicate a majority of
not less than seventy-fve thousand for separa-
tion from q Government that has thus dec
eived them, by pretending Cancellation and peace
and afterwards throwing down the gage of battle.
This unanimity will be largely increased. when
l.
Unonists that Tennessee is determined to assert her
rights and declare her independence forever of the
despodc Government that has taken the place of the
old Federal Union. Good men, who hare opposed
us, will, TO a man, bow 10 the overwhelmingly eX-
pressed will of their countrymen, and will now unite
in such measures of defence and safety shall be-
come necessary to preserve and maintain our SOW
ereigRty and independence.

1t seems that the Kansas robbers who were pur-
sued by Col Young of Texas, have escaped to their
dens. One of Youngs army, who assisted in the
pursuit writing from Dallas to friend in this place
says:
About 800 of us Texas boys have been up in
the Indian Nation to take the ferts-W ashta and
Arbuckle. Col Young, Of Grayson county, was our
commander, but the troops heard of our approach,
and left for Kansas before we got 10 them. Col,
Young has stationed hundred men at each of the
forts, and will send company in few days TO Fort
Cobb. The enemy left in hurry, and could not
carry everything with them They LETT about thirty
thousand bushels of cern twenty-five thousand bush
els of OATS and large lot of clothing, one cannon
thirty or forty guns, good many wagons, several
hundred cannon balls and shells, and a great many
other things which cannot now remember."
This statement inspires fill confidence that West
ern Texas and Arkansas are pretty secure from the
inroads of Montgomery and Jim. Lane. The gallant
soldiers of those two States will find little difficulty
in subduing the bands of robbers that may invade
their terrltory.-C IGrksUiae Chronicle, June I.

The region of country lying between the Poto-
mac River and the Manassas Gap Railroad Junc~
ton, or what is usually called Manassas Junction,
is very interesting locality present and promis-
es to be so for many weeks to come. 1t is unques-
uonably destined to become the theatre of stirring
events and few facts respecting its Topography
will not be without interest At the request of
General Mansfield, however, all correspondents
refrain from indicating exactly the position OF our
troops, lest the enemy might profit by such state
ments, for though the mails are cut of, yet there
is direct communication with the South via Har-
per s Ferry. All the Northern news goes daily to
Harper's Ferry, and thence to Richmond and the
entire South
From the Cambridge which is three miles
above Georgetown, to Alexandria-a distance of
about ten miles-there is a continuous chain of
hills half a mile to a mile and half back from he
Potomac. Entertainments are thrown up quite
distance north of Georgetown-across the river
and so at different points below to Alexandria The
Chain-bridge, the Aqueduct, and especially the
Long Bridge are very strongly guarded. and every
prominent hill is, or soon will be, extended.
Arlington Heights are right opposite Georgetown,
nearly two miles back from the river. Roa chs
Spring, which is frequently spoken Of is about two
miles distant, southwest of the Long Bridge lit
tie off from the road to Fairfax Court House Arl-
ngton House is about five miles north or northeast
of Alexandria. Falls Church is little northern
village, six miles straight west of Georgetown.
Bailey's Gross Roads is five miles due west of
the Long Bridge, and the road from the Bridge which
leads directly past Baileys is the road to Fairfax
Court House. The last-nsmed place is eighteen
miles from Washington and fourteen from Alexan-
dria. This was the scene of Lieut. Tompklns' ex-
plolt last Friday morning; and he then thirteen
miles distant from the main body of the rebel forces
at Manassas Junction, and only eight miles from
Centeryille where two three rebel regiments are
stationed. z----~g---
From the Potomac to the Heights west the ascent
is somewhat abrupt but from the Heights westward
the slope is very gradual At least ten miles of
the Loudon and Hampshire Railroad is within our
lines, but the Orange and Alexandria Road is none
of it in our possession. Our troops tore up the
track to Springfield Station, distant from Alexandria
nine miles. Beyond this point the road is in good
condition. and it is reported that the trains occas
onally run from the Junction as far as Spring
fold Station

Fort Monroe.

j We are permitted to make the following
extract from o letter recently received in
this city from Fort Monroe: 9.
This fort is a point of some interest
now, as being almost the only one in the
hands of the rebels. If Virginia secedes
she will demand the surrender of this
work, and will probably threaten to take
it, but / should like to see them try. 1t
is very large The walls are more than a
mile in circuit, very thick and high, sur
rounded by moat which is from so to
100 feet wide, with s feet of water, draw
bridges and outer batteries. 1t mounts
some 800 heavy gnns, has mortars for
throwing shells, furnaces for heating balls,
&c. Nothing could approach within three
miles, except under the fire of all three
batteries. This is magnificent place.
The walls enclose some seventy-fve acres.
In the centre is the parade ground, and
all around are the quarters for troops.
Live oak and other trees make it very
pleasant in summer. Outside of the moat
is fine walk, with view of the sea-

Pacific Indications.

With a full understanding that the war
clouds may again cover the political heav.
ems within twenty -four hours, we are yet
happy to note the pacific signs amid which
we write. All is quiet at Charleston,
where it is ostentatiously reported that
Major Anderson now has unrestricted
marketing privileges. Col. Hayne the
last envoy from the Palmetto State to
Washington, seems to have suddenly aban-
doned his summary demand for the evac-
uation Of Fort Sumter-moved thereto
it is said, by the advice of the most rad.
ical secessionists. The same mysterious
powers are also said to have put stop to
the headlong expedition against Fort
Pickens. Everywhere studied avoidance
Of an armed rupture is inculcated-as if
the condemning discredit of that course
on the part of the sccessionists were at
length fully perceived. So much for the
popular response to the little piece ofprac-
teal coercion" which was practiced from
Morris's Island, upon the Star Of the West
1t appears that events move SO swiftly,
that reconstruction y has now become the
topic of practical interest. TO this end,
all the States committed to secession are
to go out, carefully refrain from collision,
and then prepare to recombine. And 50
we see Virginia already assuming the
office of mediator, and sending this com.
missioner to the President, that to the
most precipitate secession quarters, and
others to all the leading States, always
excepting New England. The paths Of
reciprocating commissioners will soon cross
the Union in all directions. In the mean
time, Mr.. Crittenden is said to be modify
ing his propositions, in order to make
them more acceptable to the Republicans
and almost every passing hour heralds the
birth of some new pacific PLAN of8i
We heartily rejoice in this change in tho
programme, and we hope it may not soon
be changed for the worse. The calm. steady
attitude Of the Republican, party-the
patriotic determination evinccd by the free
States--the growing disposition on all
sides to cheerfully do what is right, but
at all events to preserve the Union and
resist treason-have begun to be felt in
the secession councils, and the effect is
good. We trust that the darkest hour is
past, although the return to the full LIGHT
Of national concert be yet distant and
difficult. Boston Journal. VI

ca We learn from the Coos Democrat,
that Frenchman, named Guilmett, en-
ployed in the Railway wood shed, at Island
Pond, VT, was instantly killed, on the af-
ternoon of the 10th inst. in singular and
shocking manner. He was saving wood
with a circular saw, run by steam power,
when the saw burst. One of the frag-
ments passed through his breast, taking
out part of his heart and liver. The
piece of the saw, after passing through him
was imbeded in a hard wood stick of tim
