FINE DEscRIPT1oN.-A writer, describing
the temperament of a woman of fine under
standing, but strong passions. uses the fol-
lowing picturesque language:
"She had an eye of anarchy, which re-
fused sometimes the despotism of discretion; !;
soul on fire, that maintained an endless
struggle with her prudence, and body
trembling to every movement of the mind.
In the prominent veins Of her polished fore
head, you might see such dance of spirits ss
would beckon you to instant sympathy and
the workings of her lively mind gave such an
intenseness to her looks, as doubled the force
of her meaning and claimed homage from
every 6eholder."

of Tennessee i, the I'd, Sd and 4th Divisions.
The danger Of invasion upon the part of the Feds
eral forces is imminent. This invasion threatens
the quiet and security of your homes and involves
the destruction Of your sacred rights of person and
property. The warning example of Maryland
Missouri and Kentucky, bids you, if you
would preserve your fresides, your homes
and the sanctty of your wives and daughters
to meet the despotic invader and his mnions at the
threshold of your State, and drive him back. Let
the soil of Tennessee be preserved from his unhal-
lowed touch, and let him know that in defence Of
our liberties and our affairs every Tennessean is
ready to yield up his life. Gen. A. s. JOHNSTON
commanding the forces of the Confederate States in
this Department in view of this threatened danger
has called upon me to send to the field such force
as can be armed by the State.
In obedience to which requisition, and to repel
the invader thirty thousand of the militia of this
State are hereby called to the field.
Officers in command Of the militia of the I'd, Sd
and 4th divisions will hold their commands in read
mess to receive marching orders by the 18th inst,
unless In the meantime sufficient number of vol.
unteers shall have rendered their services to fill
this requisition.
Special orders to the commanders of the militia,
ApportiOning this requisition among the different
brigades of said divisions will be Immediately for
warded, accompanied with such instructions and
directions as may be necessary to the movement Of
troops to the places of rendezvous.
In the meantime Captains will direct their COM
panies to parade some given day, with whatever
arms they may have, and they viii take all other
proper and legal steps to possess the arms, within
the bounds of their respective districts, and mme
distely report to the commanding officer Of their
