stirring Events.

Our telegraphic dispatches convey TO us the in
telgence of still further stirring events that are
occurring in the South. The conduct of Maj. Ander-
son in spiking the cannon at Fort Moultrie burning
the gun-carriages, eyacuatng the Fort and estab-
fishing himself at Fort Sumter, and the seeming APP
prova of his conduct by the President the resigna
ton of Secretary Floyd anti-eoerconist and the
appointment in his stead of Secretary Holt a coer-
zionist, together with the reported departure of
revenue cutter with sealed orders to some of the
Southern ports have determined the State authori-
ties in the seeding States act of self defence,
to take possession of the Forts and Arsenas within
their respective limits We see nothing in the North or
the South calculated to give us hope OF satsfac-
tory adjustment of our difficulties. The indications
now are that the entire belt Of States south OF US
will secede before the list of February. The Black
Republicans have construed some of the manliesta-
tons of sentiment at the South as e7idenclng VIII
lingness on the part Of portion OF the oou'hefn
people to aid the Federal authorities in the work OF
subugation. Hence we see in the LINCOLN Journals
more FREQUENT and determined expressions OF OPT
Mon in favor of the coercion policy. Should such
a policy be pursued, and it now seems inevitable,
civil war is the immediate result In such an
emergency no one questions the position that the
gallant sons of the volunteer State viii occu-
DIV. They are bound 10 the South by the
ties of interest, affinity and consanguinity
and in a struggle with Government attempting to
subject them by force to the domination of party
whose object is the ultimate extinction Of slavery,
our sister States South of will not only have the
sympathy, but the substantial aid Of the people Of
Tennessee We have believed from the first, that
events which are now upon us might have been
prevented by the presentation by the South OF a
united front to the Black Republicans, and calmly
telling them that the Union was but name, and
unless animated by the spirit of the Constitution, 1t
was worse than worthless. Others have thought II
best to continue to expatiate upon Hail Columbia
and Yankee Doodle. We believe that our present
difficulties might have been avoided by responding
last winter, in approving spirit to the resolutions
of South Carolina. We are frank to admit that we
did not think so then. We have all been mistaken
sooner or later as the policy that we should have
pursued. There can be no longer any doubt Of the
necessity of united action in the South. We have
been struggling about too long. Let the ranks be
closed up Let are our Legislature furnish speedily
the munitions Of war, and the men TO use them arr

Mr.. CrIitenden,s Last Proposition.

Mr.. CRIrTENDEN's proposed amendments to the
Constitution having been rejected by the Black Re
publlcans both in the Committee Of Thirteen and
the Committee of Thirty-three, he on Thursday
introduced resolution requiring that provision be
made by law without delay, for taking the sense Of
the people on his amendments" 1t is believed that
the Black Republicans generally willing to this
proposition being satisfied that they will be reject
ed in the Northern States and that the delay thus
occasioned will be sufficient to enable LINCOLN to get
possession Of both the purse and the sword.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 4th says:
Mr. Crittenden now proposes to submit his Com
promise measure to the popular vote. If the South

BosToN, Jan 3.--Gov. Banks presided at a dinner
of the Independent Cadets last night and made
elosuent speech. closing with the following senti-
ment:
THE gallant Major Anderson of Fort Sumter
May the people We him the honor he deserves, and
God give the United States Government the courage
TO back him.
Other speeches and sentiments were given and
the festival was interesting and quite enthusiastic.
The two branches of the Legislature and a very
large audience Of citizens assembled at the State
House between u and o'clock, to hear Governor
Banks vaedlctory address. 1t is an important doc
ument giving detailed review of the material, edu-
catonal and military progress of the State during
the three years that he filed the Executive Chair.
The assessed value of the property of the State is
SSS7 100000 The enrolled militia number l55,3o9
men, considerable space is devoted to the Personal
Liberty Law, and its removal from the statute
books.
Gov Banks concludes as follows: There can be

eminent is a compact between States or Union of

State 1t has pledged IFS faith to the people of every
