Foreign Born Citizens.

The following letter from Attorney General HEAD,
in reply to one from JoIIN LoAGUE, of Memphis to
Gov HARRIS, making inquiries relative to foreign
suffrage in the Confederate States will be of inter-
egtto our foreign population:
GALLATIY, July 8, lS61.-DEAR SIR: Your favor
of the 2Sth ut addressed to Gov. Harris, has been
forwarded to me for answer. By article four,
section ene of the Constitution of Tennessee every
free white man of the age of twentyone years, be-
ing citizen of the United States and a citizen of
the county wherein he may offer his vote, six
months next preceding the day of election, shall
be entitled 10 vote for members of the general
sembly and other civil officers for the county or
district in which he resides" The action of the
people at the recent election so far modifies this
clause of the Constitution to substitute the Confed
crate for the further than this do nSt think the
withdrawal of the State from the Federal Union
affects the right Of sufrsge-all who were citizens
of Tennessee and entitled to vote, became, by the
action of the State citizens of the Confederate States
those who hereafter become citizens of the State
must also become citizens of the Confederate States
under the Provisional Constitution to entite them
TO vote. If we adopt the Permanent Constitution at
the August election then they must become citizens
of the Confederate States under that Constitution
Thus all who were not entitled to the right of suf-
fage at the time of the separation of the State must
10 entite them 10 vote be citizens Of the Confederate
States and of the county where the votes offered
six months next preceding the election. The mere
fact that a person voted for separation and repre-
sentaon or volunteered in the service of the States,
does not entite him to vote.
Yours truly, }. W. HEAD,
Attorney General of Tennessee

Another step.

As we predicted when Mr.. Surveyor Cotton be-
gan the enforcement of the embargo Of the trade
of Louisville that they would do, the servants here
of the Administration have taken a step forward,
and now the trunks of travellers are searched at
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad depot, and
detained at the will of the deputies of Chases sub
ordinates.
Because goods of some description are sls
pected to have been sent through to the Contede
rate States in trunks carpet bags, Mr.. Cotton,
himself petty officer of the Administration, depu-
ties somebody else to exercise such surveillance
over the baggage of travellers as he thinks proper
Il IS true there Is no law for this ct is true
that the Apologies for the Administration can
make no argument in defense of this interference
with gentemen's baggage; it Is true it is an eX>
ercise of petty tyranny that has brought down on
the old world despOtism the anathemas of ali
Americans who have been abroad; but what cares
the Usurper for that? Hasn't he suspended the
Constitution? Hasn't he set aside the laws: lIAsRt
he nuIfed the decision of the Courts :? Doesn't
he ape the practices and caricature the manners
of the despOtisms of Europe? And don't his ad-
herents among US tell US that it is necessary u
make ourselves slaves, and our children after US,
that the right of self government may be denied
70 ten millions of American citizens!
To prevent an ounce of quinine, q sword buckle,
a case of darning needles, or copy of Hardees
Tactics from being taken trora the city, servant
of servants, deputy of the subordinate Of suoor-
dnste, is authorized to subject TO insult annoyance
and delay any number of men or women who may
have trunks or carpet bags with them as they de-
part on business or for pleasure.
1t will not be long before the wishes Of the Jour
nal will be carried out, and the persons Of ladies'
even will be searched to see that sword sash,
roll of bandages, or bundle of lint isn't concealed
beneath their "CriuOlne."
And not the guilty alone, if guilt attaches to an
attempt to evade an illegal and tyrannical order 81
an Administration officer but all the innocent and
guilty alike are the victims of this internal and deY-
ilish interference with invidual rights.
These acts of tyranny are but the beginning Of
the end. The right winch their exercise presup
poses TO exist makes us the subjects and slaves of
the dcspOt, not free American citzSns.-LOuiS1tis

Gov, Harris in Wilson.

LEBANON, July lG, 1861.
MEssRs. EnIroEs 1t has been my pleasure to meet
in the last few days, large number Of our people
you Il at W tn the exception of few disappointed
leaders, Wilson is a unit for Gov Harris, and the
adoption Of the Constitution. She saw our gallant
Governor when the nation trembling with fear
at the helm of State, plotting it with nerve and
skill and she is determined 10 stand by him.
Wilson did not appreciate as soon as some of her
sister counties, the Importance of the struggle
When South Carolina with the ken of the prophet
looked into the future, and saw the hOrrid pros
gramme of the bloody monster of the North. and
photographed it. and held it up before the Southern
people, a flaming torch at night sheidid not see
When South Carolina appeared to the Southern peO-
child of Liberty from the dominion of the enemy, or
it would be destroyed, she did not hear. But when
the roaring thunder of the artillery, which swept
Fort Sumter, came rolling across the mountains
she did hear 1t seemed the voice of the Spirit of
'TG-the echo of fame and she sprang upon the
arena armed and equipped her flashing sword leap
ed from its scabbard, to be bathed in the blood of
the foe. And as did Aeneas from the flames of
Troy the old Archives bear in safety, she has gath
cred the banner of Freedom and will bear 1t in
triumph She will move on in her high career, un-
conscious Of opposition. The few Uiper traitors,
whom she has tostered on her bosom, and who are
hanging to her skirts, will no more impede her
course, than the dry leaf, the wild spirit of the
storm. The Muse of History will record that Ar
mold lived in &c, his disciples in 81. r. E. I.

PATRIoTIsM OF A PRACTICAL CHARACTERISTICS an
evidence of the earnestness with which the patriot
ic masses of our people are rallying to the sup.
port of our country's flag. we need only mention a
single fact that has recently come to our knowledge.
Gen. Sneed, the present commander at Fort Wright,
above this city. desiring number Of hands to pros
ecure the work upon the Notifications at that place
detailed some of the soldiers go into the surround
ing country and obtain the services Of ore hundred
negroes for six days. After short absence they
returned TO camp with too hundred hands, and re-
ported that more could be had if needed. And this
liberal sacrifice was made by planters, nOtwith-
standing in most instances they were compelled to
take the laborers from the field, where they were
busily engaged in the culture of the crops. This ex
hbiton of prompt and practical patriotism is signif-
cant of the spirit by which the people of the South
are actuated Their own interests are made subor-
dinate to the veal of common country.-Jismphis

him directly in the face and speaking in broad

whereupon Bev. walked of, and saw no more of the
