determination, expressed by Mr. Seward, t. re-
construct the Union, "regardlees OF past perso-
nal and political associations with a magma
nimiy which shall Call for the applause Of future
ages
AS scon az Mr., Lincoln arrives at Washington,
the great reunion party of the future, will be.
gin to assume definite shape, in its work Of re
constr uction. The Peace Conference of the
border States will have ended its labors; and,
although these can result in no Immediate con-
stitutional remedy for the evils under which the
land is laboring its compromise propositions
will be received with proper respect, by
the people at large. and will serve as a
foundation upon which Mr.. Sew ,rd and
his colleagues may build up a future for
the Union, brighter than it has ever known
before. If an extra session Of the new Con
gress, of which a quorum of the House has
already been elected should then be con-
veDed, such plan, as Mr.. Seward has proba-
bly, already decided on, for revision of the
federal constitution, would be sure to meet
with its sanction, and, under the auspices Of
Virginia, Maryland. Tennessee, Missouri, Ken
tncky and Delaware as mediators, the way
would be paved for the restoration of the
Union to its pristine integrity and the dissipa-
ton of every cloud that obscures the national
sky. Fanatioism will make last rally "pre-
vious to its condemnation by the popular voice
in such q manner that it can never raise its
head again."
Our Washington correspondent is not
wrong in saying that "with the first ray Of
hope from the North, the Union pulse will
begin to beat loud, strong and with re-
newed health, in the seeding States"
1t is the most noteworthy circumstance of
the Montgomery Southern Congress, that
every one Of the ultra fre-eaters has been
compelled to assume Subordinate posi-
ton. The Yanceys, Rhetts, and Barnwells,
who were so noisy few weeks ago, have been
quietly sent into private life. With Mr.. JEFF
ferson Davis for President and Mr.. Alexander
II. Stephens for Vice President Of the new
Southern confcderacy, the friends of the Union
have the surest guarantee that every honorable
prefer which the North may make will be care
fully aud maturely considered, and that the
Southern people will aid and not oppose the
legitimate efforts at reconstruction of Mr.. Lin
coin and his Cabinet. Appearances indicate
that new era is about to dawn upon the coun-
try. The position of the new administration.
and especially Of Mr.. Seward, is undoubtedly
difficult; but no individual possesses in higher
degree than himself the sagacity and subtlety
to meet its requirements. If he adheres perse-
veringly to the course he has apparently marked
out for the future, and, if the speech delivered
by Mr. Lincoln at Buffalo is to be received as
indicative Of a growing determination to adopt
and abide by conservative Union views, both
will make for themselves names among the
highest in the history Of the statesmen, patriots
and benefaetors of the republic.

SReeRstON.

Our readers need not be reminded that we have
avoided, as far as possible, any discussion of the
constitutional right of secession. We have avoided
it. for the simple reason that to as. it was not a
practical question 1t is all whether zoe regard
separation as constitutional, or revolutionary,
thought Il might be a matter Of much Importance,
if we could satisfy the Northern mind of the right,
so as to disarm opposition on their part. Whatever
doubts therefore, any one may entertain on the
subject. we have never regarded it as sound policy
on our part, to strengthen the arguments of our
adversary or give to them the benefit of the moral
influence of the idea that we were usurping right
not recognized by the constitution. Mr.. LINCOLN,
however, has settled this question for us by dis
solving the Union himself The Union being found
ed on The Constitution its papable violation by the
usurpation of the party in power has released all
ties from their obligations and the authority delega-
ted o he General Government of necessity reverts
back to the States respectively, the people of the
States Avoiding therefore any discussion, or even
alusion to differences of opinion in the past, we
have only to make simple declaration of an exist
ing fact that Tennessee because of the usurpatons
and aggressions of the LINCOLN Government, re-
assumes her sovereign authority, and is now an in
dependent government, free to stand alone, form
such other alliances as her interests and her SYM
pathIes may dictate. Upon such basis, or some
thing analogous, all parties favorable to separa-
ton may be tremendously united, without a sacri-
fee in appearance Of previous opinion. No true
man will quibble about details-aoout the mere
shadow il the substance is secured. So mote it be.

Let the People Read.

The following is the section of the act of Con-
gress of 1895, which President LINCOLN is using for
the subversion of our free institutions
SEC. 2. And be It further enacted, That whenever
the laws of the United States shall be opposed or
the execution thereof obstructea in any state by
combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the
ordinary course of judicial proceedings or by the
powers vested in the marshal by this act. it shall
be lawful for the President of the United States TO
call forth the militia of such State, or any other
State or States, as may be necessary to suppress
such combinations and to the laws to be duly
executed and the OF militia to be called forth
may be continued if necessary, until the expiration
of thirty days after the commencement of the then
next session of Congress.
Now is it palpably plain, asks the Petersburg En-
press that the power conferred by this section OF
the law upon the Government, was to be exercised
only through the Federal Courts and civil officers
1t certainly did not contemplate case in which
there were no such courts and officers in the
State wherein the distractions " and "combi>
nations " existed. Could usurpation be more gross
for purpose more fragrant than this assumption
of authority by President LINCOLN, under the pre-
text of the above section of the law, for the pur
pose of establishing military tyranny over the

What we have 20 Expect.

We stated yesterday that we were satisfied, from
personal observation that the Northern Illinois
troops would, in their war upon the South, totally
disregard all the rules of civilized warfare. In
confirmation thereof we find the following leading
editorial in the Chicago Democrat of Monday last:
The second RevOIutiOn-Liberty to all
Mankind.
'.Now that the South has inaugurated this war and
stick at no means carry it on even to going the
length of invading the patriot States let give them
a belly full of it
Let Congress be called together. Let the Presi-
dent be empowered to call out half million or even
a million of men. And then let Congress proclaim
freedom to every man who fights for the Stars and
Stripe be he black or white.
This is programme that will strike terror to
these naughty SOuthrons. 1t will hit them right
between the eyes, and parayze all their efforts at
once.
The slaves want legal authority for joining use
Let them have it, and you will see such fire IN
the rear Of JEFF. DAVIS army will carry cOnster

ton of the United States.'

Legislative Harmony.

From motives which the public will readily ap-
preciate, Legislature has wisely determined to
hold secret sessions 1t is not of course, to conceal
its action, Debates from their constituents, but
that the enemy may not be advised Of their actions
Our readers may rest assured, however. that their
interests and honor are alike secure. An cver>
whelming majority fully up to the nature of the
crisis "They know the right, and knowing dare
mlintain" All past party differences are buried,
and we are persuaded that for all practical pur-
poses they will be unit. God bless Tennessee and
her patriotic sons in the present Legislature and
though shall never forget that gallant little band
who first entered the field of resistance, we shall
be none the less ready to do the fullest justice to
those whose only fault has been one which they,
above all others are now most open in declaring
that they were over confdipg in the deceitful pro-
misses of Black Republicanism.

EGYPT NOT IN DARKNESS
Mercenary Soldiers Afraid OF their
Own Shadows!
From the MsmphI. Avalanche. ...,, as

By the arrival of the John Simonds from Cairo
last evening, we have authentic intelligence from
that point. Capt. Frank Hicks as announced IN
this paper on Monday, left here for Mound CITY to
bring the magnificent steamer, John Simonds, to
her old me-Memphis. He did not care 40 mnch
for his boat as he regretted the probability of herfa
ing into the hands of the enemies of his section She
is welcome to the of the defenders of the South;
but to witness her bringing mercenary horde
against US was too much for the gallant Captain to
stand, and he determined that her inoorirQs should
be near Memphis. With this purpose in view. he
proceeded TO Cairo by rail as far as Columbus and
the remainder Of the way on the Baltic THAT
| steamer was bound up instead Of down az our ex>
ira enormously stated The Baltic intended land
ing at Cairo, but she neared the place two shots
1ircd across her bow forced her to do so. She was
boarded by the officer commanding the troops and
after delay of some hours, permitted to keen on
herway to Louisville. -sN
Capt Hicks took look through tie capital of
| Egypt He was informed that there were 1000
troops in the place. but he saw the whole force mus
tered, and thinks there were only about 500. and
| these were composed principally of Germans
negroes, and the scum of Chicago. The Baltic had
| large number of passengers, all of whom crowded
to the guard the boat neared Cairo and it seems
that the brave soldiers" fancied it was an invading
force. The innocent and harmless passengers struck
terror to their souls, and they fired the cannon al
the boat. If they prove to be no better marksmen
when our gallant fellows get after them, they had
as well "curl up and quit"
| The citizens of Southern Illinois, as a body are
in favor of the South. The report that some fifteen
miles of railway track, thirty miles above Cairo,
had been torn up by the people, is confirmed. At
Cairo there is general Indignation expressed
against Lincoln and. his policy.
Capt Hicks proceeded to Mound City, got up
steam on the Simonda, and passed Cairo during the
storm of Tuesday night Capt March Miller was
at the wheel, the lights were ex.inguished and the
Simonda passed the enemy's camp unobserved.
As the Simond's approached Columbus, so me
two hundred people gathered upon the bank. They
supposed it was boat containing hostile force,
and they were prepared to give it warm recep-
ton. They hailed the boat, and when it as
certained that she the John Simonds, they
| gave her three times three cheers.
A large crowd was gathered at our leyee when
! the Simonds reached here. The Southern flag was
| flying OF her peak, and they gave her three cheers
| as she went swiftly by. She went nearly to the
| point before she rounded to, and after dropping a
few people at the landing she was taken to Mound
City. We need hardly state that the John Simo nd
| is ct the sergiceof Mem phs.
