produced among the rebel leaders IL fully demons
tated by the action Of Gov. Harris and the Legsa-
tlre in connection WITH the premises. His Majesty,
Kin. Ishala, yesterday Issued proclamation calling
upon all his subjects transfer at once TO the pos
session Of the State all their private arms. In the
course OF his mandate be addresses them follows:
Prompted by the nobest impulses Of patriotism,
/ shese brave men " referring 10 the encamped un-
armed regIments), care ready to take the held 10
defend youT homes, and TO prevent the theater OF
this cruel and vindictive being brought withln
our borders They appeal TO you who quietly remain
az home 10 place in their hands thai they may
give you protection aud security II you ai 10 re-
spond 10 this appeal, / shall be compelled by the
stelnest convictions OF duty, charged as am with
The responsibility of seeing that tie State If de-
Tended 10 dsband these regiments Of brave soldiers,
and call you who have into service as militia.
His Majesty might dispense with his ill-conccaled
excitement. IIisream will come to no greater grief,
even though he viii be compelled TO realized hlf
threats. There If not a particle OF difference be-
tween the two horns of bis dilemma. The "regi-
ments of brave and patriotic men he has huddied
into camps viii prove az much OF an incohefenl, nh-
manageable mob on the tented field AZ his militia
The acknowledgment, by implication, that his snc'
cessive urgent appeals for the surrender of private
arms all signay failed is worth noticing. Ills
Majesty knows the cause of this undensble unwili-
inqness as well az the writer. His sayeholdng sub
ects are apprehensive of servile jnsurrectoD, and
will not dssrm themselves, matter how often and
how eloquently lie may appeal to them.
In the Legislature the want of a quorum did not
allow any action to be taken until yesterday, when
bill was introduced and passed authorizing the Gov
ernor 10 receive 10 600 men into the service of the
State for one year, during the threatened nyasion,
to be increased at his discretion 10 20 900 and mpower-
ing him also to attach. levy, impress or purchase
AL single or double barrel shotguns aud rifles be-
longing to citizens of the State TO be paid for or re-
turned" resolution was also offered and passed In
curing into the ways and means OF procuring and
equipping gunboats for the defense Of the Cumber.
/ Land and Tennessee rivers.
Judging from the past the aforementioned measure
is likely produce much discomfort IN the rural dis
trcts for the reason already stated. II strictly car
red out it will result in completely diSarming the
agricultural population and placing them at the mer-
CIV of their distrusted servants. The process. will
greatly facilitate the pacfcaton Of the State by the
Union troops, and render the fayoite Southern guer-
lila style of fighting impracticabe. AZ the arms are
not likely to be given up voluntarily, King liarnss
agents will have nice time in hunting for stoi-guns
ard rifles from town TO town aud farm to farm Their
labors in East Tennessee will probably be particu-
larly encouraging.
