[Trom the Nashville Banner, 25tb.l


The Legislature meets today. The
brief time allowed for members to as
senble may possibly prevent quorum
from being present on the first day; but
the delay cannot be of long duration. =
The action of the General Assembly will
doubtless be prompt and decisive. The
people are united wherever the state of
the country is fully understood. In
some of the remote districts it may be
that a full appreciation of the crisis is
not felt; but it will only require time
and that very short tnfe-to bring them
all to a unanimous and cordial union
AS far as we know, we can speak for the
former Union men of the State, who in
February last came forward in such over
whelming strength in patriotic effort to
avert the evils now forced upon US by the
new policy of the Federal Adminstra-
tion-they are among the most deter
mined resistants to the power and au-
thority of that Administration, and
among the readiest to make that resist
ance the most formidable. Whatever
differences Of opinion may exist as to
the policy of any action on the part of
the people with a view to a political alli-
ance with the Confederate States at this
particular time, many believing such ac-
ton unnecessary in political point of
view, and any attempt to carry it out cal
culated to embarrass and distract, where
all should be union and cordiality-there
is potential oneness OF sentiment among
the people in favor of the most vigorous
and active preparation to develop all the
military resources of the State for de-
termined defence of Southern soil, from
Texas to the border line, from any inva-
sion, and in favor of expelling the North
ern usurpers, who are seeking to make
the Chicago platform the law OF the land
by force OF arms, from every foot OF that
soil. .-. gt...

lature will lose no time, after putting up

The Duty of Tennessee,

The Nashville Patriot, of the Oath inst,
closes well written article upon the du-
ty of Tennessee, with the following para
graph:
Tennessee does not claim the right of
secession, but she acts, like freemen
ought always to act. upon the inherent
right of revolution. She is already by
the action of her Chief Executive and by
the almost unanimous sentiment of her
people in revolutionary attitude, and
she must and she will complete it. But
to her, words are of little worth, and ban.
ners and flags are nothing except as the
emblems of great principles. Therefore
we invoke the people all over the State
to permit nothing of this sort to come
between them and their first paramount
duty. Every breeze from the North tells
us to arm for our own defence, every
suggestion of reason and right appeals to
us to fight the battles of the South as
against despotic North. This is enough
for us now, and we must leave minor
questions to their own day and time.

The Border States.

The following article from the New
York Courier and Enquirer, whose editor
was recently rendered foreign mission
by Mr.. Lincoln, will show what sort of
an entertainment is preparing for the
Border States. We vouch for the extract
being genuine, and commend it to the care
full consideration ofsuch as are proposing
neutrality in vain effort to keep out of
harms way: I'.
q "War, civil war, actually exists. Trait
ors in Rebellion in the Cotton States, have
inaugurated that war; and now the Gov
ernment of the United States puts forth
its strength and prepares to punish the
Traitors and put down the Rebellion
Let the Border States or any one of them,
join the Southern Confederacy, and from
that moment they become enemies; and
when our armies enter their Territories,
they will of necessity, be treated as en-
emies. And who can question either the
right, the morality, or the expediency, of
weakening the enemy by all lawful means? /?
The Confederate States threaten us with
.Privateers; but being only Rebels unrecog-
nized by the Nations of the world, their
Privateers become Pirates, and will be
treated accordingly. The law of Nations
will determine their character and desig-
nate their punishment. And the Law of
Nations will in like manner, authorize
justify, and commend the Government of
the Union, if, whenever it marches an
army into a Slave State in Rebellion, It

Support the President P-Never

II there are any persons among our
readers still willingto stand by the Black
Republican Administration, in its fratra-
cidal war, let them read the following ar
ticle from the New York Necs:

ing fools into the support Of the unho.y
war which it has begun. The Admins
tration is now proceeding to carry out the
horrible threats of Helper and his indors-
ers. The Republican party is entirely
abolitionzed, and, if anything, we would
prefer Garrison or Philips, as more honest
and more humane than Abraham Lin
coin. Putting out of view the long years
of agitation and aggression provoked by
Abolitionism, and the existence of sec
tional party that proclaimed its intention
to disregard the equality of the States as
guaranteed by the Constitution and de-
termination Of the Supreme Court, sup
pose the very worst possible case for the
which have resolved to secede did 50
without cause, that their discomfort was
groundless and their determination the
dictate of caprice. What then? Does it
belong to the theory of our Government
to make war upon these dscontented and
disconnected people, and by force of arms
and superior numbers to scourge them
back into bonds they loathe and detest ?
Such course would be the height OF alb
surdity.
But is there no allowance to be made

such case, none but tyrant sends ar.

that States should be coerced. The requsi

Northern Sentiment.

The sentiment which pervades the
Northern press generally is most ferocious
towards the South. Total extinguishment
of them will allow to the "rebels and trait
ors." If the whole people of the South
could read these papers, there is not a
man of them, who would not feel that our
safety depends entirely upon ourselves.
The tone of the heretofore conservative
press North, has undergone a very mark
ed change. Most of them have cavcd in
NOT exactly to appreciation of the wal
policy of the Republicans-but to an ad

War Terms.

The Columbiad or PaiXhan-pronounc
ed pay zan is large gun, designed prln-
cipally for firing shells-it being far more
accurate than the ordinary short mortar.
A mortar is a very short cannon, with
a large bore, some of them thirteen inches
in diameter, for firing shells. Those in
use in our army are set at an angle of 45
degrees, and the range of the shell is
varied by altering the charge Of powder.
The shell is caused to explode at lust
about time that it strikes, by means of a
fuse, the length of when is adjusted to
the time of flight to be occupied by the
ball, which of course corresponds with
the range. The accuracy with which the
time Of the burning OF II fuse can be ~
justed, by varying its length, is surprising;
good artil!ersts generally succeed in hav-
ing their shells explode almost at the
exact instant Of striking. In loading a
mortar, the shell is carefully placed with
the fuse directly forward, and when the
piece is disc harged, the shell is so COM
pletely enveloped with ilame that tho
fuse is always fired. The fuse is made by
filling q wooden cylinder with fuse pow
der the cylinder being of sufficient length
for the longest range, to be cut down
shorter for shorter ranges as required.
A Dahlgren gun is an ordinary caupon
except that it is made very thick at the
breech for some three or four feet, when
it tapers down sharply to less than usual
size. This form was adopted in conse.
quence of the experiments OF Capt. Dahl
gren, of the United States Navy, having
shown that when q gun bursts, it usually
gives away at the breech. The Niagara
is armed with these guns and at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard there are sixty
weighing about 6,0O0 pounds each, and
six of 10000 weight each, the former o
which are capable of carrying nine inch
and the latter ten inch shell distance
of two or three miles, and there is one
gun of this pattern which weighs 4,9l(
pound and is warranted to send IL incl
shell four miles.
A casemate is stone roof to a for
made sufficiently thick to resist the force o
cannon balls, and casemate gun is one
which is placed under casemate.
A barbette gun is one which is placed
on the top of the fortifcation.
An embrasure is the hole or opening
through which guns are fired from forti
| fications.
| Loop holes are openings in walls to tir'
musketry through.

from the Terrc Haute district, delivered

war was about to commence-perhaps
had commenced--a the Republican
leaders would be held responsible, before
God and the country, for the blood spill

sections. Indiana, he SAID, had no quar-
rel with the South-had no reason to
wage war upon her, for the South had al
the Eastern States had done all in their
power to cripple us in our early infancy.
Should war be inaugurated by the Adj
ministration of Abraham Lincoln, itwould
be party war-a war ofpassion, n war Of
vindctive malice, and war having no
sanction in the political impulses of the
people Of the North or West. For my
