WoMANs ADvANTAGEs.-Some ef the
advantages of women over men are as fol-
lows
A woman can say what she chooses
without being knocked down for it.
She can take snooze after dinner while
her husband goes to work.
She can go into the street without being
asked to treat at every saloon.
She can paint her face if it is too pale,
and powder if it is too red.
She can stay at home in time of war,
and can getmarried again if her husband is
killed.
She can wear corsets if too thick-oth-
er fxins if too thin.
She can eat, drink, and be merry, with
out costing her cent
She can get divorced from her husband
whenever she sees one she likes better.
She can get her husband in debt all
over, until he warns the public by adver-
tisements not to trust her on his account.
"Go to grass!" said a mother to her
daughter.
"Well, then, 'spose I'll have to mar

"Why SOL" inquired the astonished

"Because all men are grass" The old
lady survived.

that should the troops now uadeF your command
be required upon another field of operations, there
will be no danger of an out break in this quarter
because OF their absence; at all events it will not
abate our. honest efforts to maintain peace and
good order among our people.n ssh 81
Gen. Zocoffer replies, thanking the gentlemen
for their assurances that their efforts should be so
directed as to best promote peace; and he adds
that he twill most cheerfully hereafter as here
to5ore, retain no more military force and exercise
no more military authority in East Tennessee than
may be deemed due to the peace and safety Of the
community,
The correspondence alluded to was followed by
an address to the Union men of East Tennessee,
signed by hessrs. BroWnlow, Baxter, Trigg, etc.,
from which we take the following extract, urging
the adoption of peace measures
We sincerely trust that the motives by which
we have been prompted IN this matter wiIl1be pro-
perly appreciated by the Union men throughout
East Tennessee. We are satisfied that we have
truly represented to the military authorities the
disposition and purposes of our people as body,
and we earnestly hope that our friends in every
locality will demonstrate by their conduct that the
confidence reposed in their peaceful intentions has
not been misplaced. We trust We viii not be re-
garded as presumptuous in invoking all to continue
the pursuit of their peaceful vocatons and to stu
diousIy refrain from the use of Incorporate Ian
guage, and from violent acts calculated to provoke
collisions with the soldiery now in our midst. To
preserve the peace Of our section, and the safety
of ourselves and families, is surely worthy the
combined efforts of US all Resistance to the pres
ent authorities only result in the destruction o
those who undertake it. We. therefore, earnestly
invoke our friends in favor of peace, both in word
and Decd" memphis Appeal, 20th. f,s4

A general disposition appears to be manifested
on the part of those who have heretofore resisted
the Southern movement in East Tennessee, to act
quesce in the clearly expressed will of the decided
majority of the people OF the State, and cease all
efforts to resist the action of the Confederate and
State authorities. Everything appears to be quiz
city settling down to the new order of things, and
we can chronicle the fact, believe, that the
whole of our own fair State is loyal to the great
cause--that Tennessee will have active traitors
within her borders.
We find in the Knoxville Register of late date,
correspondence between Messrs. W. G. Brownlow,
John Baxter, G. F. Trigg, and some fifteen other
leading citizens of East Tennessee, and Gen. Ioll
Golfer, which indicates that the most pacific conn
cls will prevail. In their letter to Gen, H., the
gentlemen named refer to the fact that apprehen
sions have existed in the public mind that the
"people of East Tennessee are likely to break ont
in open rebellion" and thus inaugurae civil war
With full knowledge of the purposes Of the Union
men, they emphatcally deny any such intention,
saying that their opinion is made up after free in
tercourse and conversation with their old partizans
and they add:
I'VE should deplore civil war in our midst and
we believe that we but reflect the feeling of the
Union party in Fast Tennessee in ayowing the
sentiment. Our counsels for sometime past nave
been for the peace and quiet OF the community,
and so far we have any knowledge, these coun-
sells have almost invariably been responded 10
| fayorablv by the people. From our knowledge of
the people of this portion of the State, we have an
abiding confidence that there IS no purpose on the
| part OF any respectable NUMBER OF tnem 10 lhau-
| gurate civil strife, or provoke collision between
| the authorities, civil or military, and themselves
| At all events so far we have an influence Will
the people of this end Of the State, it will be ex
erted for the maintenance Of the quiet and peace
| Of the community.
eve feel well assured that it is not your purpose
! uniusly to harrass or pppress any peaCeaDle law
abiding citizen, and tits equally ours to use what
ever Of weight we may have TO prevent any out
break Or dsordarly conduct upon the part Of gu
citizens.

MOVEMENTS OF GEN. PIKE AMONG THE INDIANS.
An express arrived here yesterday from the Indian
country, bringing dispatches from Gen. Pike. com
missioner to the Indians, to Maj. Rector, superin.
tendent, from which we learn that Gen. Pike will
be at Fort Washita this week, to attend the coun-
Gil of the Chickasaws. The messenger from John
Ross had arrived, and Gen. Pike has appointed the
25th of this month to meet the Cherokees at Tah-
leouah to make treaty with that tribe, and he
has notified Maj Rector, superintendent, to be
present at that time. Major p. will leave in a
few days to join the commissioner at Tahlequah
After the treaty is made with the Cherokees,
Gen; Pike expects to make treaties with the Sene-
cas-, the mixed band of Shawnees and Senecas,
Delawares and Osages. So far, the commissioner
has been most successful, and it shows the conf
dence the Indians have in him.

THE CONFEDERATE WAR TAx.-The question is
being very much debated whether it is polite or
advisable for the different States to collect for
themselves the Confederate war tax, thereby ex-
cluding the intrusion of Government officials, and
saving the ten per cent. discount allowed by the
act of Congress on the amounts assessed to each
State when collected and advanced by its own
officers. Some ignorance is manifested in this dis
cussicn.. The Confederate act is an dd bdgorent
bill. 1t has all the characteristics of penitude and
fairness. When the system of State taxation is
conducted on an analogous, or, at least, fair dd
ua!orena basis, it can very well and perhaps ad-
vantageously, be extended to the collection of the
Confederate tax. In different and unequal sys-
tens Of internal taxation, the enlargement of the
collections of the State, by the amount of the Gov
ernment tax assessed aganstit, would be an impo
sition upon the people. [Rch. Examiner. =

The London Times Offers the Yankees
Advice.

We are in condition to offer advice. We
can advise the Northern States of America, as we
can advise the legitimate Princes and the despotic
Courts of Europe. Let the statesmen at Washing
ton only do what England has done before a hun
dred times, and what all Europe has DONE is do
ing and Will still do. 1t is not g Old World y ad-
vice.. 1t is not Of the leaven that Washington and
Franklin left it their mission to extirpate tits the
very latest and newest lesson of human affairs;
much newer than steam, the electric telegraph or
rifed cannon Do the Northern States really be-
long to the New World, or are they only a bit of
the Old World aeitfe an lis pride It's bi1ot,,g. and
its tyranny, stranded the Western shore of The
Atlantic ? The advice we give them is what they
have taught us before, and we only say to them,
as many son may say to his father, :" Practice
what you teach.''{ Let the Northern States ae.
cept the stuation,n we did eighty years ago
upon their own soil; as Austria did two years ago
at V1atranca and Zurich. Let them count the cost
before they march forth to drive half a. million
armed men a thousand miles across their own
| country into the Gulf Of Mexico. Let them con-
| slider whether they can do what Napoleon could
| not do IN the pleuitude of his power, with many
times their nunber their stores their credit and,
above all, their military skill and experiences, his
school of Generals and his supply of veterans. A
What they purpose to do and be is not only to be
as good as the Southerner, little the better,
but overwhelmingly superior. Are they? Is not
| this an overweening opinion of themselves2, Can
they drive the Southerners like flock of sheep,
smoke them out Of their nests like wasps, fer
| ret them like rabbits and bag them like game
| Let them Just look forward little, and consider
| the probable state of things next year, and the
| year after, and twenty years hence. Even we who
| sang such songs Of triumph in 1914 and 10, felt
| that we and all Europe would have done much bet
| ter to think what we were about in 1893. If a
| clear foresight show, that there must be two Fed.
erations, and that on no other footing will peace
ever be made it will be much better that it should
come to pass after one years war than after ten
or twenty. 1t is not as if the Union or two Unions
were the only alternative. AS the war proceeds,
| no man can tell what new powers and combinations
| may arise, and particularly how far the Western
| States will endure the taxes and financial obliga-
tions necessary for the war. The advice we offer
| is only what the Americans have given to all
| the world. 1t is hank of their own eetton-a
| pipe of their own tobacco Let them consider
| what they can do. At present they are only Civ
inga triumph to many foe, for there is not cir

CRors IN TENsAs,--The St.. Joseph Gazette, of
Saturday, says
We have had but little rain during the last week,
and cotton is deriving its good effect from the
change in the weather. But the wet month of
August, apart from destroying the bottom crop to
great extent, has seriously injured the plant in
such a manner that clean picking is almost an i'm
possibility. The cotton crop of this year will not
only be short, but the staple will also be inferior
to any raised for several years past. ri
