The DIsUNIoNIsrs UPON THE SErTLEMENr.-The
disunionsts this city are intensely enraged at the
successful termination of the labors of the Peace
Convention They had been chuckling, for week,
over the belief that the result would be otherwise.
To-day they trying to cheat themselves into the
belief that the border slavchoding States will not
accept the terms Ere Monday next they will hear
thunder from the Richmond Convention, in the shape
of intelligence that that body has accepted it by an
overwhelming majority and on Monday, another
clap of similar thunder in the portion Of the naugu
raj treating Of the subject wherein the new admin
isration will be virtually pledged to do its best to
make the principle of the action of the Peace Con-
vcnton the law of the land.
The truth is the diSunionists wanted no settle
mcnt whatever. How terribly they have been dis
appointed in being unable 10 defeat harmonious ac-
ton by the Peace Congress, will soon be known to
the public through the bowling of the Richmond
Enquirer and the snarling of the Charleston Mer-
cury Their game has been to have the matter left
altogether in doubt; and then to preciptate armed
collision, in the hope Of drawing the border States
into war, on the side of dsunion.-W Wash. Star.
If the Union ticket has prevailed in this State, as
we believe it has, it has been emphatically the work
of the people; 70: the politicians have fought for
disunion with all the desperation Of drowning men.
The disuniOn members of Congress, MeSsrS. Cling
man and Branch in particular, instead of attending
to their own business and trying to heal the un
fortunate difficulties of the country, have been busy
engaged in fomenting discord among their own con-
stituents, and with arrogance that would become
dictator, Mr.. Clingman has declared that North
Carolina must" secede or help Lincoln to subju-
gate those who have seeded The people Of North
Carolina know better and Mr. G. will find himself
well rebuked.
These Washington members have kept the dis
union sheets of the State flooded with dispatches
the charter of which We will no: now portray but
the object of which evidently was to "prccptate'
our State out of the Union-to snatch her from the
Stars and Stripes and throw her into the lap of VIM

TENNESSEE iIIr AT SEcEssIoN.-The Nashville
Rnner, strong union paper, thus expresses its
opinions:
1.-The oligarchs of the Confederated States of
America are remarkable for two things-getting
along without referring any of their actions back
the people for ratification, and the raising of stand
ing armies. But their guns point too much inland
The forces they raise would be Of little avail against
any coercive force which is likely to come against
them from without-for that must come by way of
the sea. But they are capital against their own
people. The coercion these usurpers fear is to come
from their own people, and against that it is they
raise standing armies. Thus they enforce a 81
ence which will give the consent of the governed
to any form Of government they may or,laln."
The VorE.-The record of the vote by which the
Franklin proposition finally adopted stood to
s. The votes of Virginia and North Carolina went
to make up the eight. Ohio's vote was cast in the
affirmative. Virginia, North Carolina and Missouri
had their popular sentiment been really represented
by the majority Of their respective delegations,
would have been recorded for the settlement; while
a majority Of the Indiana delegation would have
voted for the first section they did for the Others
but for the instructions Of their Legislature making
it obligatory 10 refer to them the question how the
delegation should vote in the premises; which be-
ing impossible to be DONE they declined to give any
vote. In this state of things it is evident that the
vote upon the section in question should rightfuly

The RAILROADS AND THE CRISIS The receipt

other parts of the United States have been serous
diminished by the effects Of the crisis. Those hav
suffered most whose income arises most largel
