The General Assembly.

The General Assembly of Tennessee con-
xened at the Capital in this city yesterday.
Tn the Senate, one of the members, Mr.. PICK
rTT. representing one of the East Tennessee
Senatorial Districts, declined to take the oath
to support the Provisional Constitution of
the Confederate States, on the ground, if we
correctly understood him, that there was no
law authorizing the administration of such
an oath. This gave rise to some discussion,
and seemed at one time likely to delay the
organization of that body. The subject was
finally passed over, for the time being, the
Senator qualifying in the usual mode. Ed
WARD CHEATHAM, the Senator from Robert
son. Montgomery and Stewart, was
elected Speaker; Franc NJ. Paul, of Shelby.
Principal CLERK; Mr.. RoGAS, of Hawkins,
Engrossing Clerk; and WI. Moss, of Will
Hansen, DoOrkeeper- Several ballots were
election. The organization of the Senate
viii be complete so soon as the Messenger is
chosen.
The House was partially organized by the
election of E. A. KEEBLE, of Rutherford,
Speaker; f. s. DEWoLFE, Principal Clerk;
THOs. E. S. RUSswURN, Assistant, and HENRY
LIGGETT, Jr., EngrOssing Clerk.
The Speaker of the Senate is an old, able
and experienced member, and has heretofore
filled the same chair, TO tie satisfaction Of the
Senate, and with honor to himself. The
Speaker of the House Is new member, new
er having sery ed in a Legislative body, but he
intellect, eminent attainments, sound judg-
ment, and decision of character, and we pre-
dict for him a wise and efficient administra-
ton of his office.

What Jeff Davis said.

President DAVIS visited last week the Head
quarters of the Army of the Potomac. The
Lynchburg Republican says of his trip, &C..
President Davis reached the Junction on
Monday, and was received by regiment
from his own State-Mississippi, and in re-
Spouse to their enthusiastic reception of him,
made them short address, in the course of
which be told them 'that they had work be-
fore them work of the most important kind
work ia which he had come to bear with
them his part. He did not intend to say to
them Ego and do this, - but he intended when
the hour came, to say to them, come, fol-
low me'' He intended to lead them himself
on to glorious victory or patriot soldier
honorable grave" Our informant describes
the effect of President Davis speech as per-
fectly electrical. The light OF battle shone
in every eve, while the cry of LEAD US on;
"lead US on,' burst from every lip lmme-
diately after the conclusion of his address the
President took special train, and was con-
yeyed to the advance of our lines near FAIR
fax where his presence was welcomed with
the same enthusiasm which had greeted him
at the Junction. That we shall hear exciting
news to-day or tomorrow from this section,
we have not a doubt, nor should we be sur
prised to have the pleasing duty to perform
in few days of announcing to our readers
a great victory won by our gallant army,
and to congratulate them that the Southern
flag is waving in proud triumph over the city
of Washington.
The enemy who had advanced their lines
on Sunday, and taken possession of the line
of hills occupied by our army, suddenly and
unaccountably withdrew to their entrench-
ments at Arlington and Alexandria on Mon
day. This movement was not anticipated by
our Generals, and can only be accounted
for upon the superstition that they felt them
