pie. il. all their legitimate rights. But all
this is to be judged of by others, and the
opinion OF any individuals of the smallest
account. If a word of mine could have
the slightest influence would suggest that
while the war is going on, there might be
a convention of the seeded States, held
within their own borders. t might be one
representative appointed from each of these
States, by tue Governor, to meet and ex-
anime the whole case as it now stands
arrange and draw up q report of their
grievanccs-or what they consider such
aud report to their respective Governors
the result of their deliberations, and the
conclusions at which they shall have ar
rived.
The same process might be adopted in
the States that have not seeded, and SIM
liar reports be made to their respective
Governors. This would be only prepar-
atory measure for something more impor-
tant. Ifa better feeling or understanding
could be arrived at, future Convention of
all the States by their representatives
would have something to act upon. The
difficulties might be Investigated and pro-
vided for; the Constitution might be re-
vised by general consent, and il the plat
form-sntticiently ample for 3, 100000 at
formed-is found to be neither of breadth
nor OF strength enough to support a popu-
lation ct sO,OOO,OOO, wise and patriotic
'nen might suggest according to the rules
prescribed in the original document, the
improvements which the actual condition
of the country would seem to require. Tie
Constitution itself, in its letter and spirit,
is no doubt the same rs it was when first
framed; but nearly everything around has
been undergOinga change for nearly eighty
years.
For peace of that kind would be a very
sincere, if not an influential, Advocate
But to expect that peace will spring up
by the advodacy of individuals in the
midst of the din and clash of arms. amidst
the mutually Hlienated feelings of the peo-
pie, and the widening of the breach that
has now separated them, would be, in my
opinion, hoping against hope, Still we
must hope thut the Almighty will overrule
ana direct the final issues of this lamenia-
Bile contest.

hour they have b sen tempted to throw off.
viii they not reflect that the war into
which the government has been constratu-
ed, is not war for their subjugatton, but
a waE for national existence, and that an
auspictous result % the Union will benefit
as largely the States in insurrection as the
States which have remained loyal
However this may, be, the duty af the
national government, as the constitution
ally constituted agent of the people, Rd-
mits nf no question. The war made nee
essary by the insurrectiOn, and reluctantly
accepted by the government, must be
prosecuted with all possible vigor until
the restoration of the just authority of the
Union shall insure permanent peace. The
same good Providence which conducted
our fathers through the difficulties and
dangers which beset the formation of the
Union, has graciously strengthened our.
hands for the work of its preservation.
The crops of tie year are ample, the
granprie ies and barns are everywhere full.
The capitalists of the country come cheer
fully forward to sustain tue credit of the
governments. Already, and even in ad-
SanceoI tnlS appeal men OF All occupa-
tions seek to share the honors and advan-
tages of the loan. Never, except because
of the temporary depression caused by the
rebellion and the arrangement of business
occasioned by it, were the people of the
United States in better condition to sus-
tain great contest than now.
Under these fi,voring circumstances, and
for these grand objects, l shall, in pur-
suance of the act of Congress, cause books
of subscription to be opened as speedily
in the several cities and principal towns
of the United States, in order that all citi-
zcns who desire to subscribe 10 the loan
may have the opportunity of doing so.-
those who prefer that course
can remit any sum which they may wish
to invest in the loan to the treasury of
the United States Mt Washington, or to
either of the Assistant Treasurers at Bo>-

or to the Depository at Cincinnati, where
certificates will cntitle the holders to
treasury notes on the termsalroady stated.
The patriotism of tue people, it is not to
be doubted, will promptly respond to the
liberal wisdom of their representatives.

Volunteering Not SO Brisk in the
North.

The evidences are becoming pal
pable that Lincon's call for more
men is not being responded to with
anything like the enthusiasm he
and his Cabinet anticipated. The
eyes Of the people of the North
.are being opened since the Battle
of Manassas Plains, and they have
"no heart for the work" They
will not volunteer, and a draft is
now talked of. The Washington
correspondent of the New York
World lets the secret out. In his
letter of the Sd inst, he says:
1t is useless to disguise the fact,
that there is a strong pressure
upon the President and his Cabi-
net by men high in military sta
ton, to resort immediately stodraft-
ing, to fill the ranks of our army
to the number required to carry on
the war successfully. At the
present rate Of recruiting to our
regular army, the new regiments
will not be filled up before Janu-
ary, thus keeping out of active
service our best regular officers at
a time when their services are
most required. The $4,000 in
crease Of the regular army ought
to be in the field before the lst
of October; but how to get the
men without a draft is the question.
1t is feared by many persons here
that the stoppage of all news re-
specting the condition of the ar
my is lulling the North to a fatal
security, and that we are credited
with twice the number of troops
on the line of the Potomac we,
really have in camp. If such is
the case let it be known that
while we have plenty of men to.
guard Washington, we want co.
900 more troops to make an eff.
fective forward movement. With
the complications likely to arise in
Kentucky within the coming
month, and with what additional
aid General Fremont will require,
100000 more men can find
enough to do.

THE PRESS.

. Nothing is more disgusting and
contemplate than to hear an off
cial, especially a military official,
expressing his contempt" for the
press and its recognized represen-
tatives. We have heard recently
of an instance of this kind, oc-
curing in this city, and we dare
say it would have received mer-
tied exposure had not the person
whom it Immediately affected been
induced to remain silent by con-
siderations of public interest or
pity for the weakness of the official.
1t has been our good fortune, thus
far, in cur intercourse with the
Confederate officers, to meet only
with gentlemen who knew only
how to reciprocate the courtesies
of good breeding. We trust we
shall never come in contact with
other than this class, for if any
of Gods creation, save the skunk
should be spuned and despised
it is the man who irnagines thai
epaulettes, or a little ''brief au
thority," convert him into an au
tocrat.

with great cities whose surplus and
idle populations are greatreservoirs

ty-nine regiments in the field |!
This State is the chief reliance OF
the Lincoln Administration for

men than North Carolina does to
the Confederacy-and the popula-
ton of the latter State is but about
one-third that of New York.

CHANGED His VIEWS.

3 Spraguc, the plucky Governor
of that piucky little bantam of a
State, Rhode Island, who fought
some at Manassas, left for home
to convene the Legislature. In
an address to the people, he gives
evidence of having learned some
thing at Manassas. We extract:
( The war will of necessity be a
long one. We have been IN error
as to the strength of the enemy, and
as to the long and persistent course
which has been pursued by the
South tending toward this; while
we have been occupied in our
business, they have been creating
revolution. We were under the
impression that they were lacking
in all the resources which go to
raise and maintain armies
Whereas, in almost every par
ticular, we have found them su.
perior to ourselves. We have
found not only the physique o
their men equal to ours, but then
clothing, their armies, their subsist
ence, and their means of transpor
tation-everything that goes tc
make up military eficiency-su
perior to ours.

A Southern Heroine.

| Mr.. EDIroR:-If the following
will be of any interest to you ant
your numerous readers, you are al
liberty to give it publicity.
Some six or seven years ago
gentleman from one of the Yam
kee States married a lady in this
city who was raised in Sumner
county; they lived in this city and
at McMinnyille until about the
commencement Of the present diff
ficulties between the North and
South, when the gentleman went
to his native place, (Indiana. =
After some time he sent for his wife
who Immediately left with her two
children and joined him in his
Yankee home, believing him to
be true to the South, but a short
time since it turned out that he
was found engaged in making up
a company for Lincoln. So soon
as his wife found it out she prompt
ly told him that she would not
stay with him if he thus prepared
to fight against her country; he
told her that she should not leave,
or if she did she should not take
the children. But she did leave.
While the vile husband was out
on drill, or at some other unholy
work, the brave aronaan took her
and at midnight, on the
5th INST, landed safe and sound at
Esq. Connell's, and is to-day safe
ly housed at her fathers, in Old
Sumner. .f

a LOVE SONG

Not lost forever, though on earth we've parted
Not lost forever, though we meet no more!
They do not wander lone and broken hearted
Who see Heavens radiance on the other shore
Not lost forever; while around me springing,
The violsts weep.ths roses blush and bloom;
And summer birds, in summer woodland singing
Flood with soft music all the tranquil gloom
Not lost forever, rhou shalt still be near me,
Through every fortune and in every cline;
When cares oppress, or memories cheer me-
Thou shall be with me, dearest, all the time.
