Dear POST While all is silent in camps
and our minds a,'e bordering over the
past, when we could enjoy the society of
our friends in Tennessee, it brings an
emotion into our breasts that tells us to give
all that's due to those who have a sympa-
thy for us. and who arc daily asking the
God Of Battles to be with us. Duty calls
our attention so that we cannot commu-
cate with all, Only through the symHp-
thetic columns of the Pvq We thert-
fore submit n few lines TO your columns
which will give our ,frends,an IDEA efStle

Senate. Having been elected for third
term, by an unprecedented majority. and
on the ground tibet he was the man for

which the people so largely committed to
him in August. The determination does
him more honor than could be acquired

The Louisville Journal has started re-
port that New Orleans had been captured
by tho Federalists. The truth is, the
Federal flee. of the mouth.of the Missis-
sippi has been whipped and dispersed by
the little Confederate feet under Commo-
dore ilollirs, and New Orleans is not in
any more danger Of capture than Phila-
delphia or hew York. Whenever the
Federalists undertake the capture of New
Orleans, they will find more and worse
obstacles thar the British did in 1915.

Taking the Oath.

For the information of such as seem
disposed 10 doubt the fact. we can state
that all the members of the Legislature
took an oath to support the Constitution
of the Confederate States and of the State
ofsTennessee. The Senator alluded to in
ono of the papers as having hesitsted
only did 50, as we understood him, Oh ac
count OF q legal difficulty which had
arisen in his mind. Having all promptly
accepted the obligations required, we
hope il will not be considered necessary
to agitate any more on the subject. In
deed, we shall begin to doubt the purity
and honesty of any man, no matter how
early or ultra lie may have been in the
Southern cause, who insists upon drag
ging in the past, and says to every one
less extreme than himself, "stand aside.
am holer than thoup We know there
are parties in East Tennessee who wish
success to Lincoln's arms, and who will
never stop until some OF them get their
necks broke; but when those who have

ness to iacquiesce in the new order Of
things, and cheerfully comply with the
Obligations thereof, it is ungenerous, un.
wise, unpatriotic, and selfdishonoring to
doubt their honesty and sincerity. We
hopethis friendly hint will be received in
the spiri. in which it is gigen, and that
there will be no occasion to recur to the
subject.

The General Assemhlv,

Having been at Nashville during the
first week of the session. it affords us
pleasure to remark upon the evidences OF
harmony among the members. and the
disposition to so at once into the legiti-
mate work of legislation. Convened at a
time when the country is in the midst of
the most remarkable revolution the
world ever witnessed, the members seem
to be fully impressed with the response
biHties Of their position and evince Il rea-
diness to do whatever the honor, inter-
est and welfare Of their people may de-
mand. Many persons think the session
should be short. We differ with them in
that respect. There is much of impor-
lance to be done, and it will be far better
to consume the necessary time in doing
the work well and wisely, than to hurry
it through at random under the mistaken
notion that haste is economy. 1t has, we
believe, been the practice to do little at
the commencement of the session, and to
rush every thing through towards the
close, And from which course whatever
of bad legislation the people have endnr
ed, has mainly flown. A large proportion
of the members are "new men," bst
there is a full average Of practical, work.
ing ability in both houses and the PEG.
pie Of the State can confidently look lol
much that will prove beneficial from the
calm and dclibenate legislation of the
present session. ,
We shall try to keep our readers posted
upon all matters of general interest that
may be brought before the General As
r.

too much good sense to regard 1t with I'M

An Electornl Ticket.

On the subject of an Electoral ticket,
the Nashville Patrio', Of the 18th, has the
following paragraph;
An Eectorai Tcke.--Y'he people of Ten
nassce are required by law to elect cleo
tors for President and Vice President on
Wednesday. November 9th. The short
ness of time intervening between now
and that time renders it necessary that
we should have before us an electoral
ticket as soon as possible. In view of this
necessity, we suggest that the members
of the Legislature meet at some early day
and recommend an electoral ticket. We
make this suggestion because, in this
way the sentiment of the State could be
more nearly reflected than in any other
that is now practicable. OF course the
electors will be expected to vote for the
reelection of Messrs. Davis and
Stephens. We ask the members of the
Legislature to consider of the matter, and
If they approve of the suggestion, to meet
and act in the premises at as early a day
