Our Next Governor.
From the Memphis Appeal.


That we are in a state of revolution is PROPOSE
ton which demands no evidence. In the midst of
the chaos of old political parties and systems, it IS
not enough for us that the Montgomery Government
preserved the Jewels of the Constitution from the
wreck of the old Union and made them tire basis OF
a new order of things that the brightest minds and
frmest hearts of the American continent cluster
around the new Govern ment giving wisdom to its
counsels and strength to its arms. Though one Ike
our banner, we are distinct as its stars and while
our destiny is the same, the individuality of the
States is as several ashe orbits of the planets OF
solar system. Under this state of things. in the
midst of revolution, there is prime necessity that
the executives of the several States shall be men Of
sagacity and ability; that when the Confederate
leader sounds the key the States may JOIN IN con-
cert. thereby preserving harmony and banishing
discord from the councils of the States and natioa
but this necessity is altogether of confederate
nature. Our domestic affairs during the penGency
of this struggle, will require close and able super
vision, and as ability is recomperse for eXpe-
rience the executive branch of the Safe govern
ment should be in the hands Of Iaan who under
stands the routine of his official duties and posses
ses the fullest confidence of the people.
In Isham G. Harris the honored incumbent OF the
executive chair of our State, we have an lustrious
example of the patriot and statesman, whose ex-
tensive experience and comprehensive wisdom
raise him to level with the position without the
surreptitoas aids of party organization. He Is EN-

caught the first murmurings of the impen1iDg

his message to the Tennessee Legislature, his clear

facts and logic in vindication of Southern rights

CLEVERLY bONE<-Our readers will remember
mat a few days ago the schooner Hope, from Qua
daloupe was captured off the bar by the O. S. man
ot-War Brooklyn, and prize master and crew Of
elght men placed aboard Of her. Among the Hope 8
passengers was French lady. who declared that
she was anxious to reach New Orleans and protest

U. 5. naval officers. So strong were her protesta-
tons that the prize master yielded. and sent her
ashore IN his boat manned BY his eight jolly tars.
While the boat was on the way, the Captain Of the
Hope cut his cable, raised sail and put out to Sea-

WAR JUDICIALLY DECLARED TO ExIsT-vALDTY OF THE
BLOCKADE.

WAR JUDICIALLT DECLARED TO ExIsr-vALDrTY OF THE
BLOCKADE.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Many people have doubt
ed whether we are actually at war or not Wheth-
er war exists is an important question. Congress,
at the late session. shy of every proposed action
that looked towards war, that provided means
or gave powers to carry II But the question is
at length judically decided. The decision of the I.
S. District Court for the District of Columbia, IN
the case Of the schooner Tropic Wind and cargo. is
that war does exist. Referring to the President
proclamation, Judge Dunlop remarks that these
facts so set forth with the assertion of the right of
blockade, amount to d declaration that civil war
exists" 1t belongs, says the decree, to the Execu-
tive to decide whether insTrectiOa has grown to
such head as to constitute civil war. Blockade is
belligerent right, and the President has right to
resort to it. This is Ithe first judicial decision we
have had upon the validity of the blockade, and al
so upon the constitutonaity of the various execu-
tive acts in regard to the Instruction.
This or some other case involving the same ques-
ton will no doubt be carried TO the United States
Supreme Court. There cannot be much doubt that
this court will affirm the decision Of the District
Court as it is in conformity with prior decisions of
that body, as cited by Judge Dunlop.
