Patriotic Letter from Judge Green.
The following letter from Hon. N. GREEN
will be read with pleasure and pride by his
many friends in this State and elsewhere. 1t
is the voice of wisdom, age and patriotism ::
~ LEBANON, May IA, 1861
Hon. W. O.. Sum and others:
GENTLEMEN Your note of the 18th inst,
inviting me to visit the Eastern portion of
the State, aud address the people upon the
crisis, was received to-day. i received an
application of similar character from some
of our influential friends at Nashville, two
weeks ago, and excused myself on the ground
of my age, (nOw in the 10th year, and that,
not being in the habit of addressing popular
assemble ges, l could hardly hope to command
my voice, so as to preserve my strength, for
such review of our grievances, aud long
suffering forbearance, as the subject. and ac-
casion demand; and if / could have
strength and voice, / could not hope, at
my time of life, to sustain the little reputa-
ton may have acquired; and so, falling be-
low expectation, / should injure myself and
fail to serve the cause / have SO much at
heart.
Therefore excused myself, and recommend
ed that they commit the same to younger
and ADLER hands.
Indeed, when l Look at the names sub
of many other able and patriotic men in East
Tennessee. cannot see that East Tennessee
needs the assistance of speakers from other
parts of the State. And if such assistance
were called for, it will be most amply afford
ed by Messrs. Foote, Henry and House, whose
appointments cover a large portion of your
section.
In view of these facts, must beg you to
excuse me. / do not ask to be excused on
of of thu r
sentiments and objects in the present great
struggle. l think our selfrespect, our hon.
or, and our sacred rights, all demand that we
sever our connection with the United States
foreDer. Surely, no true son OF the South
would turn his arms against the Confederate
States in this emergency, and assist the OPP
pressor to subjugate the wronged and injured
party. What if they did spurn the oppressor
and defy the tyrant, little earlier than all
thought was prudent or necessary? All must
admit their wrongs were grievous and hard
TO be borne. aud that they had cause for re-
volt. We had like cause, but we had more
faith in the wrong-doer, and were willing to
demonstrate and wait for the "sober second
thought" of the North, when we hoped for
Justice But our faith was ill-fOunded and our
hope delusive. We have been flattered and
cajOled until, like Maryland and Missouri, we
are almost in the tolls of the enemy. A little
more delay and hesitation, and a military
despOtism will be established over US. say,
then, to arms and resist 10 the last e1trenity.
The united South cannot be subdued. Every
motive of self preservation invokes US to union
in the South.
Standing heartily with you, gentlemen,
tender my grateful Acknowledgements for
your kind appreciation of me, and hope you
will make my excuse to my friends in East
Tennessee. Very truly,
-------- n GREEN

Charleston Harbor sriII Open.

The steam ship Niagara has not been near
this Bar since Tuesday last. On the evening
of that day the steam ship Huntsville, one of
Lipcoln's armed transports, appeared off this
port, and no doubt delivered orders to the
NiGg1ra to proceed to some other station
This is certainly an extraordinary mode of
attempting blockade. and is likely to bring
up some questions for the Washington Gov
eminent to settle, as we understand that a
claim will be made for loss sustained by sew
eral owners of British shipping who had their
vessels ordered off from this port by the Nj
Ggara, and by which occurrence they lost a
valuable freight, and since which other Brit
ish vessels have come in and obtained most
valuable charters, the entrance to the port
being unobstructed. We have heard from
all points along the coast, from Georgetown,
S. c., TO Savannah, and nothing in the shape
of war vessel has been noticed. for several
days.-ChGrLesLon Courier, Nay 20.

FOR STATE SENATOR,
GEN. WASHINGTON BARROW
The Ticket.

SEPARArIox.-We trust that the voice OF
Tennessee will be unanimous for the indie
pendence of the State from the tyrannical
Government at Washington. There is now
no shadow of reason to hope for justice and
equality in political union with our enraged
enemies in the North. 1t Is impossible for US
to preserve our rights and our liberties from
q despotic msjority, which has exhibited it
implacable and unyielding hostility to Us
and our institutions. Separation is our only
refuge from intolersble Oppression lt Is not
secession. il is not sneaking out of the Union,
but it is the assertion of our right to be free
in spite of all governments, against every
power on earth which seeks to curtial our
rights, and endeavors to compel Us by force
to remain in and sustain by our blood and
our money. a government which has forfeit
ed its claims to cur assent and respect. Let
every Tennessean, who desires 10 retain hi
freedom, and to defend this great right OF
revolution, which is his only safeguard
against oppression, vote for his own and III
States independence, by voting for separa-
ton.
REPREsENTATIoN-This means that you
will consent to the provisional government
of the Confederate Safes, the duration OF
which is limited to one year, at most. Ii
means that you will join your Southern sis
tiers in resisting the atrocIons war of subju
CATION which is being waged upon them and
YOU alike; that you will make common cause
with them in defense of the great principles
of American liberty; that you will aid them
by YOUR counsel and advice--and that while
YOU do this you will have your representa-
tives present IN their provisional Congress,
to protect your own rights during the ALI
ance. 1t means that the old Union having
utterly failed of its purpose ''to establish
Justice. insure domestic tranquility, provid-
for the common defence, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our pOsterity," we have re-
solved to cut loose from it aud TO construct
new Union, better suited to the promotion
of our welfare and happiness. We will af-
forwards be called upon TO decide whether
we will enter into permanent UDion with
the Confederate States. and upon what terms
and conditions. For the present that ques-
ton is not before Us. That IS what .'repre-
sentation" means, and involves the question
whether we shall attempt to breast the
storm which is sweeping down from the NorIh
single handed and alone, or shall We go
shoulder to shoulder with common blood
and brotherhood in the South. We trust the
universal response will be for representa-
cordial approval of every man in the State
who prefers liberty and justice to oppression
and wrong.

GaEAT OurRAGy.-An the freight, each
separate box and package. brought to this
city last night from Washington and tie
North by Adams Express Company, had been,
by officers of The Federal Government,
smashed, broken, or torn open IN Washing

the wagon presented the appearance OF hav-
ing gone through railroad disaster Band
boxes had their tops and bottoms beaten IN;
trunks whose tops and sides had been wrest-
ed off; chests, with their sides split open and
their contents scattered about. We saw one
large case directed to w. VI. Williamson.

open. apparently. with an axe, the removal
of the screws that held it together not hav-

quantity of freight was, we learn, detained

ton, or to be stopped. No freights by Adams

as practicable by the accommodating agent

@- The Northern papers advise the post
ginia till after the election on the question
OF secession, which comes of to day; bee use,
they say it would look like an attempt TO in
fuence the action of the people by intimida-
ton and force, aud thus lender them liable
to the charge of interfering with the free ex-
preston of the popular will. This ia precious
logic. Will not the attempt to subjugaie
them after they have voted themselves out
make them liable to the charge OF violently
suppressing the free consent Of the people
against their will and wish. after it l. ex-
pressed Such stuff is good in the mouth of
a despot and his miniOns, bat it Is all bosh

have seen a gentleman in every way reliable,
just from Washington, who states ii is a COM
mon rumor that Lord Lyons called on Secre-

that England would not recognise the pres

called on Mr.. Seward upon official business,

Old LoudOun county, Virginia, famed all
the country over as the strong hold of Wing

EG- 1t is the custom in all the telegraph
Offices to file and preserve the original copies
of all dispatches sent from them. The last
display of wisdom and energy by LINCOLN, is
the seizure of these IN all the offices of the
North, for the past year. The purpose is to
hunt up 50 traitors" in the North, that may
have been sending messages of sympathy to
the South, and punish them. We may soon
expect to hear of an order for the examination
OF every private letter which may pass through
the Post Office to the South.
