The intelligence received yester
day. to the effect that Tennessee and
Arkansas had withdrawn from the
Union, was truly refreshing to our
minds. Though there was no public
demonstration on the part of our citi-
zcns. which signitied their JOY on the
receipt Of tho news, yet, it was
evident that they inwardly rejoiced.
We have had 80 many false runors
reach this place, that the majority Of
our people have their doubts about
this being reliable information. So
far as we have been enabled to ascer-
tain, outside of ftelegraphic dispatches,
Tennessee and Arkansas are, beyond
doubt, seceders from the Union.
