Position OF Hon. John Marshall.
we find in the Franklin Reuieuc, of yester-
day, the following inrelation to the position
of Hon. JOHN MARSHALL, of Williamson coun-
ty. whose reputation as jurist ad patriot
is coextensive with the linnits of the State:
Last Monday, our quarterly County
Court being in extra called session to take
into consideration the state of the country,
to organize Home Guards undee the new law,
etc., a very large eoncourse of our citizens
were assembled at the Court House. Mr.
Marshall being loudly called for, came for
ward upon the stand and made a speech re-
plete with argument and full of the fire of
patriotism. He demonstrated to the mind of
every man present, by facts and arguments
which produced confirmation strong as proof
of Holy Writ" the absolute necessity, socially,
politically, and commercially, of the immedi-
ate separation of Tennessee from the Federal
Government at Washington, and the adoption
of the Provisional Government of the Con-
federate States He said that he, in common
with great majority of the people of Ten
nessee, had been devoted to the Union and
that the Union party of the Border States had
done all in their power to secure peace and
reconstruct the Government. But that usur-
patton had followed usurpation on the part
of the administration at Washington, till a
reconstruction was among the ideas of the
past. He said that war had been Inaugural
ted, war of sections, in which il was impos-
sible to stand neutral that the day and the
hour had arrived when the safety and the
honor of Tennessee demanded that she should
sever all her connections with the old Gov
eminent and Immediately connect herself
with the new; that in this struggle there
should be one head, one heart, one hand He
proclaimed that on the 9Th of June be should
vote Tor SEPARATION and REPRESENTATION,
and hoped that Williamson county would
vote that ticket without a dissenting voice,
that he would be rejoced if the best Union
County IN the State should, on that day, prove
herself the BEST DIsUNIoN COUNTY.
We do not pretend to give the language,
or even an abstract of the substance OF Mr.
MarshalPs speech, but only to present few
of the laading points. 1t is conceded by all
that MIR. Marshall stands peer among the
ablest Jurists and wisest statesmen OF Ten
nessee. His acknowledged ability, his known
integrity, and above all, his unfinching de-
votiJn to the Union as long as there was
Union or the hope of one, combine to give
bis opinions and position on the great ques-
tions that agitate the land, great weight be-
fore the people of Tennessee"

More of the Same Sort.

1t must not be supposed that because
eleven thousand troops have been called into
the Confederate service from Mississippi, the
supply has been exhausted. Thrre are now
seventy five additional companies of Infantry
and seventeen of cavalry and artillery anx-
iously awaiting orders, besides any number
of Home Guards" who are eager for the
tray, together with thousands of others who
intend to have place in the picture near
the flashing of the guns, before the war is
over.
On yesterday Gov. Pettus received requi-
sition for five additional Mississippi regiments

The Confederate states Constitution

We are informed that in localities where
but few if any newspapers are taken. enemies
of an Independent and united South ars in-
sidiously circulating the charge that the Con-
stitutfon adopted by the Confederate States
contains a property qualification. This
charge is false, as every one knows who has
read either the Provisional or Permanent
Constitution. both of which are improvements
upon the Constitution of the United States.

that the friends of Independence will keep
Us fully advised of the tricks of the masked

RICHMOND. May 20.-It is believed that an
attack On Richmond is contemplated, and
that large bodies of Federal troops will
move from Old Point and Western Virginia
simultaneously, burning the bridges, &c.
1t is believed the attack on Sewell's Point
was retaliation for firing on the steam-tug
Yankee.
A schooner has passed the blockade. All
is quiet just now, but stirring times are ex-
pected to day.

SECEssIoN-Don't be misled by the use
which is made of this term. Tennessee does
not propose to secede from the Union. She
stands upon her right to be free, and intends
to declare herself Independent as our revOlu-
tionary ancestors did. She shirks no re-
sponsibility, but meets them all; and Intends
to maintain her rights by all the means at
her command, meeting force with force, whrD-
ever and wherever it may be necessary. Her
Legislature adopted the Declaration of indie
pendence just as the Congress did for the
Colonies in 1776, and the people intend to
ratify the noble deed.
