\ TENNESSEE JupAs RENAL

A TENNESSEE JUDAS REwARDED.-Em- merson Etheridge has received the price of his treachery, having been elected clerk of the rump congress now in session at Wash ington.
 By misrepresenting his immediate con- stituents, in the last congress, the betrayer pandered to our enemies to such an extent that he has forced them to act contrary to the maxim of honorable men, that of des- pising the traitor while loving the treason. He has accomplished his purpose, and we feel confident Tennessee is rid of him--for we give him the credit of having sufficient penetration to know that the people of his district, should he appear among them, would only tolerate his presence long enough to prepare themselves to confer upon him the punishment he merits at the hands of an outraged people.
 At the late election the district in which Etheridge resided gave vote of 12,215 for separation and 4,359 in the negative.

4 NEW LIGHT IN DlRLOmACY.
IF we are to believe the Mexican CORES
pondent Of the n. 7. Herald, Minister
CorWin has hit upon the strangest way to
serve his country and manifest bis dislike
for the rebels, that has yet been discover
ed. Says this writer, commenting On Mr.
Corwin's various triumphs in the line of
diplomacy:
zone cannot but admire the sagaeity which has
eeized upon the very happy juncture for arranging
an extrad1tion treaty, hitherto opposed BY atexl-
co, On the ground Of the clause *sfugftives from
1abor,'' ye. always inserted IN difference to the
prsjndices Of The South. The chiyalry will learn,
IS soon as their xebelnous fermentation be quiet
cd, that the people, though pouring ont their
blood and treasure for the preservation Of the ua-
ton at home, have not neglected their interests
ab1oad''
That Mr. Corwin's belief in the virtues
and curative properties Of the fugitive
slave law has amounted almost to mon-
omania, the country has long known; that
he has stood very much in his own light,
in this BEHALF his friends in Ohio well
know. Hhe has now ousrun the Constitu-
ton of his country to the extent Of urging
upon the heedom-loving people Of Mexico
a treaty, providing for the surrender Of
Ben McCuuoch's slaves who may escape
across the Texas boundary, he has
done his country and. its cause 8
terrible wrong, It has never been
contended. even by the craziest advocates
Of slavery in the country, that any require

ton for claiming the surrender Of fugitive

enveloped the rattling Joints Of his fest, and
his limbs were partially enshrouaed By
the thin pants, while the remainder Of his
clothing was scattered about at the mercy OF
the winds. But what was particularly im-
preeaive was the position Of the arms, out
stretched above his body as he lay extended
upon his back, and with the aesh1ess fingers
spread apart, as If be had died beseechfng
heaven to have mercy On him, poor, mlsez-
able sinner!
While looking over the battle grouad, Ma
jor Bowen and his command were naturally
attracted to those portions Of the field where
they themselves had been engaged. In one OF
these places the Major was pointing out to
me where his battalion received certain fire,
and the soldiers Of the escort alluded to one
rods distant by ball which cut of the

head of his left hand neighbor. s< And be-
Ieve," said one of them to the Major, 81 thatI

over to the spot and examine the ground,
while we passed on across the creek to the
confederate side. Subsequently the party
came up, enc Of them bearing q hat, and i'm

not only found the place where their unfortu-

q trophy. They had begua to give his re-
mains 3 decent burial, when the bugle call
ordered them to the main body, now about
leaving for Springfield
The effect Of the ehot upon the trees Was
terrific. I never before had an idea of the
force OF six or tWelYe-pound shot, and !
Think that any candid minded man, after
looking about this locality for while. will
readily admit, that when under full headway
they would be ugly customers to meet, Trees
OF eight and ten inches diameter, seemed to
have been swept away like SO many twigs.
There we're points where one could not find
tree within view which did not exhibit some
SOFT Of sign Of the leaden storm which had
swept through them. I counted in the body
OF one tree, no less than fourteen minie and
grape shot.

tion any such scheme for conciliating JEFF

it is impossible to believe that Mr. Corwin

It is impossible to believe that he has
sought in the heat Of the great pro-slavery

over the whole Mexican Republic; and
notwithstanding the positiveness Of the

until the treaty itself is produced,
