State Of Tennessee.


State Of Tennessee.
Whereas, The Government of
the Confederate States having
called upon me, through General
Albert Sidney Johnston, for thirty
aio~sosed troops, for immediate SER
vice in addition to those already
in the field, it becomes my duty to
proclaim to the gallant citizens Of
Tennessee that their country de-,
nands their services.
Camps of rendezvous will be
established at Nashville, Memphis,
Knoxville, jackson, Trenton, and
at such other points as may be
necessary for the accommodation
sof the troops, where they viii be
mustered into the service OF the
Confederate States by Companies,
Battaliops and Regiments, as they
/! may present themselves, except
Cavalry, which will be received by
companies OF battalions. The
troops having the right to elect
their own company, battalion and
regimental officers, except sur
geons, quartermasters and COM
missaries, which will be appointed
by the President. Volunteers for
the war are greatly preferred, but
will be accepted for the term OF
twelve months.
1t is earnestly urged upon all
who may be able to do SO to sup
ply themselves with the most eff
fective arms the country affords,
such as the Tennessee rife, the
double. and single-barrel shot gun.
These arms will be replaced by
furnishing the troops with regular
army guns at the earliest practica-
bic period.
Judging from the past, ] know
that it Is only necessary to notiS
the gallant sons of Tennessee thht
their services are necessary to the
.common defence, and they will
promptly and nobly respond to the
call, thus perpetuating cur claim
to the proud title of ''The Volun.

A BRIGHT EXAMPLE,

The ladies OF the Southcrrs
Confederaey arc, perhaps, not aware
that in knitting socks for the army
they have the precedent of one
of the loveliest women that ever
graeed high station-the bcautifui
wife OF our Washington. We
quote from the Life of Washing
ton, by Washington Irving
After telling us that on Chistma:
Eve Washington retired from the
busy world to his beloved Mount
Vernon, he goes on to say:
There was nothing awkward or
vioientin the transition. He seemed
to be in his natural clement
Mrs. Washington, too, who had
presided with quiet dignity at
headquarters, and clecred the
wintry gloom of Valley Fcrge with
her presence, presided with equal
amenity and grace at the simple
board Of Mount Vernon. She had
a cheerful good sense, that al
ways maze her an agreeable COM
.panion. She had been marked
Tor an inveterate habit Of Knitting.
1t had been acquired, or at least
fostered, in the wintry encamp-
ments of the Revolution, where
she used to set an example for
her lady visitors by diligently
plying her needle, knitting stoci-
lags for the poor, destitute soldiers.
DISTRESS IN ENGLAND ANTIc1rA-
rED.-We take the following re-
port made TO the Philadelphia
Ledger by person WHO visited
the localities in England mentioned
below:
Regarding cotton, notwithstand--
ing the press makes light of it,,
gloomy forebodings trouble the
public mind. From actual knowl-
edge just acquired, right in the
districts Of Lar
Manchester, Preston,
Blackburne, etc, and other shires,
the following information is gained:
Every workman and manufacturer
.ells the sad story. The greatest
distress is anticipated. 1t is felt
now in short work; but in Au-
yust its severity will be felt in
earnest, and winter is dreaded like
! nightmare. Among other
branches of industry affected by
he American troubles, we; found
Yearly all the vast potteries of
stafordshire closed, and the work

'ers are females-gathered in clus-

The Crisis.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.


Our country's fate fer good or i'll, on Us the
burden lies;
Gods balance, watched by angels, is hung
across the skies.
Shall Justice truth and Freedom, turn the
poised and trembling scale
Or shall Evil triumph, and robbcr Wrong pre-
vail.
Shall the broad land. DER which our flag in
starry splendor waves,
Forego, through us, its freedom, and bear the
tread of slaves?
The Crisis presses on us; face to face with us
it stands,
With solemn lips of question, like the Sphinx
III Egypt's sands:
THIS DAY WE FASHION DESTINY! cur web oi
Fate we spin;
This day, FOR ALL nEREAPrER, choose we ho-
illness or sin;
Even now, fIom starry Gerzim, or Ebal's
cloudy crown.
We call the dcws of blessing, or the bolts OF
cursing down!
By all for which the martyrs bore their agony
and shame;
By all the arning words of truth with which
the prophets came;
BY the future which awaits us ; by all the
hopes which east
Their faint and trembling beams across the
blaekness of the Past;
And by the blessed thought of Him who fol
Earth's freedom died.
oh, my people! Oh. my brothers let u
choose the righteous side!

"Cheap enough." said the expensive
dinner cater, as he drew portcntious
calf-skin wallet from his pocket, and,
opening it, commenced turning over the
bank notes therein, when the host ascer-
tanned that they were Of such large de-
nomination, that he had not money
enough in the house to make change with
his customer.
The clerk, who had been gaping over
the old mans shoulder during this opera
tion, now slipped round to the landlord
and whispered
at must be the President of bank,
for he has ten thousand dollars in his
pockct-book."
Finally the stranger managed to find
one hundred dollar note among the pile in
his pocket-book, which he passed over to
the astonished landlord received his
change, carefully counted it, placed it in
his wallet and walked away, saying, as he
did so:
Good day, landlord, l always pay for
what | have"
"Do you know who that old chap is
that Just went out ?" asked the latter Of
one Of the select men who came in at that
moment.
That man why yes, that's old Billy
Gibbons, the richest man in the State.-
We bought five thousand dollars worth of
real estate from him to-day, and paid him
the cash for it."
live thousand dollars !" said the host
"Why, how much is he worth ~
"Oh, million or So" was the reply.
"Whc-e-w," said the landlord mo
wonder he can afford scycnty-fve dollar
dinner. "
