In assuming command of the military ferces
of this division, cannot forhear An earnest
appeal 10 all who have preferred the old
Union, no longer to resist the recent decisions
at the ballot-box by overwhelming maJor!ties
OF the people Of Tennessee. The military su-
th0rities are not here 10 Cfend or in ure the
people, but 10 insure peace 10 their homes, by
repeiling invasion and preyen ting the intro
duetion of the horrors OF civil war Treason
10 the State cannot, will not be toleratsd.-
Bat perfect freedom of the ballot box has and
viii be accorded, and no mans rights, proper
ty or privileges shall be stun bed. All who
desire PEACE can have peace, by quietly and
harlnlessly pursuing their lawful ayoca tors.
But IenDessee having taken her stand with
her sister States Of the South, her honor and
safety require that no aid shall b. given with
in her borders 70 the arms of the tyrant Lin
coin.
We have asked of the North a recognition OF
our political quality. and have been refused.
We have asked for terms merely under which
we could er " sense OF safety to our proper
tv and time -honOred institutions but in vain
Under such circumstances, the States OF the
Sou n resolved to submit no longer TO long
repeated and vexatious interrneddlng with
our rights. The North was deaf TO Justice,
because they believed they had the power TO
crash Us a ve rebeied. With terrific
These armies have been driven back with
havoc and conservation. Heaven has smiled
upon the Sonth-bes sing her with rich har
vests and heroic sons. The North is already
shaken as with palsy--he- late AFRO
CANT soldiers n!led with apprehension
her late hoasted revenue dwindled to
n etern necessity for direct taxation -
Can here he recreant sons of Tennessee who
would strike at their brothers, while thus
struggling for Southern honor and iudepend-
| ence! OF who would invite the enemy over
amid our own fair fields There can he but few
snch. Ii ANY. it were better for their memory
had they perished before such dishonor. Let
not the Union men of the late contest at the
ailot-box, among whom l personally know
SO many to be patriotic and true men, be car
rIed along 10y excitement or passion into
dep!oTabie an extreme. Though differing
upon the late poiiticai questions, we are all
Tennesseans. For the honor and glory OF
Tennessee let us be, as heretofore shoulder to
shoulder il battle or peacefully at horne, not
soIro Ting when victory perches on the stand

PRIsoNBRs OF wAR.
Says the Charleston Courier, OF the 9Th:
The prisoners mentioned in the Courier of
yes erday, as having been brought TO this city
by de etachmsnt of the Washing ton Artillery,
were quietly removed to comfor ble quarters
in the Jail, for safe keeping until proper dispo-
sIton can be made of their cases.
They Were accom- panied TO their quarters by
the same number OF City Police, in citizens
dress SO as 70 avoid attracting any unnecessary
attention.
There was ne thought ofhandcufs, or desire
to degrade these men in the eyes or our Citi
Zens. pTactced by the Northern powers in
10 whose hands some OF our men have unfOr-
tunately fallen. They We're taken separately
by different routes, and were only known TO
the few who witnessed their departure from
the Guard House.

IECRgAsE OF TROOPS IN CANADA.
The Montreal Pilot says:
Whatever our neighbors across the lines
may cay about the arrival Of troops in Cana
da it is likely they will soon have the oppor
turity for display OF more hluster and i'm
pertinence on the same subject; for it is I'M
dprstoOd that every barracks In the Province
will be filed with troops, and that addi tional
reinforcements are daily expected. The fact
OF Dr. Howard having been notified by the
Government to stop his repairs of the new
Lunatic Asy lum at St. j DIN, because it would
ne Tt q aired by the troops, and the resumption
expec ted, shows that whatever the cause, or
! for whatever reason, the Canadian barracks
| are to be occupied Of old. We do not see
| the right OF the United States to object to
this.
The Royal Proclamation already issued for
| biCs all interference OF Englishmen in the
| war now being waged between the North and
| the south, though, indeed, that was scarcely
needed, seeing that both parties appear TO be
| fighting so quietly, and have such Wanted
| success on both sides. but we surely have
| right 10 take every means whereby to hold
our own, 10 prevent the possibility Of an at
tempt to annex as, or the success OF any ap-
peal 10 Washington by dlsconten ted men
among ourselves. And the fact is, as Black
wood suggests II is high time for the Ameri-
cans TO moderate their pre- tensions, and in
their In terooursa with other nations adopt q
courtesy 10 " hich they have hitherto been
