stnmpede Among rh- Tories.

From Che Chattanooga Gazette, November 81
Our town has been placed under martial law
and our streets thronged with soldiers for nearly
two weeks past, which has had quite a |salutary
influence on the LiucOluites in the upper end of
this county. Col. Gift, the tory leader of Soddy,
who bad marshaled his molly elan to the tune Of
some FIVE or six hundred ragmufins and outlGws,
with the avOwed purpose Of joining Dan. Trew-
brit and his East Tennessee reuegades az James
town, and marching from thence upon Chatta
uooga. after covering himself with glory in many
prosPeeti1s battles, upon hearing of the near
approach of a detachment Of an Alabama regi-
meut, thought il prudent to disband bis gallant
followers and 90 home. The puguaciOus colonel
and his motley crew all reached their homes in
safety, save about fifteen Of the less fortunate
whom our boys picked up and brought into
camps at Chattanooga. Some OF them have
been discharged upon taking the oath and giving
bond and security for their good behavior in the
future, while others Of a more suspicious charc-
Ter still remain in camps, awaiting their trial
Several arrests have been made from this and
adjoining counties, numbering in all from 100
to 100.
Six OF eight arrests have been made in Chatta-
nO0ga, but all having been s0undiy converted %
are now enjoying their liberty Ageneral STAN
pede is said to have taken place smong the Lin
colnites at Harrison, upon learning the fate of
the SOddy army. Harrison is a little town inthe
upper end Of this county, the home of the trail
tor Trelrhia, and a place somewhat distinguished
for the intelligence and morality Of its inhabi-
tants. as well as for one Of the sIongholds Of
LincOlnismt We saw a respectable and intelli-
gent gentleman from that place oH Saturday
last, who stated that the poor deluded wTetches
were running to and fro and almost imPlonng

and hide them from the wrath Of Gen. Cauoll's

ING after the news Of the bridge burning reached
this place, these c~Owardly traitors boosted that
the time bad then come when Union men could

were promised, but have not come to hand nor
been heard from. Western Arkansas has to take

Nothing more was received yesterday relative

Correspondence Of she Mobile REGISTER
PENSACOLA, November I9-Much excitement
was created here yesterday by the Geographic
rumor that an officer of the United States navy
had, on the high seas, dragged from beneath the
English Gag Messrs. Slidel and Mason, and con
yeyed them prisoners to Fortress Monroe. The
first and natural impulse was that Of sympathy
for these gentlemen, who had set out for their
mission under such h~attering auspices. Their
romantic departure from home and arrival on a
friendly isle, where every demonstration Of JOY
and %princely respect were shown them, Is still
fresh IN the memory. But in all this mortitica-
tion and disappointment, there is one c@Ons0.a-
tion-it viii determine whether John Bull Is the

EDITORS APPEAL. On yesterday The militia
force Of the cjs was called out, and la payt APP
peared. Il is to be hoped that volunteers 60 the
number wauied VIII appear. But there is too
much confusion OF opinion aud action-I viii

But there are many la5 is not uufrequeut in

than serve thsir country Tell them they ought
to 60 forward aud take their chances Of being
selected for service, and they vii answer that
there IS Partially IN the selectIon-that our
officers pass by the rich and notify the poor, etc.
Now, gentlemen, happen 90 know that tins
charge is untrue. The richest and most talented
men Of the city who have not already vOlun-
tered are notified as well as the poorest. Be
sides under the system Of detailing, which has
been ordered by Brig. Gen. Csrues, all cases OF
serious hardship can and viii be avoided.
Our homes and iresides, our wives and
children, and al our interests, call on every loyal
citizen to aid OuT friends and brave volunteers
now fighting the battles CT the country. Not
that our force already in the field can be over

say that because our volunteers are willing TO

This then is The crisis. And it follows chat

in case he is liable and shall be selected from the
roll, is either a tory OF a cO1ari. Lett be un-
derstood that every such man shall be selected

OF the effect of this measure Of the Lincoln
government, the Charleston Mercury says:
With the seizure of Mason and Slidell, in its
relation to the neutral rights of the British gov
eminent, we have no direct concern There are,
however, certain well established principles of
public law, to which the present case viii neces-
sarily be referred, and from ,hese, we may an
ticipate the views OF the English iuTIsts in re-
gard to its merits.
The highest legal authorities unite in pro
nouncing dispatches " the worst kind of con
trabaud." They consider the transmission Of a
dispatch abroad as capable Of comforting greater
advantages upon a beIigerent than the intro
dUction of any cargo forbidden by the laws OF
war. distinction, however, IS drawn between
dispatches coming to, and going from the belIg-
erent. The former are deemed 20 paTtase OF the
peaceful character of the neutral nation from
which they come the latter are presumed to be
Of a warlike import, and subject she neutral yes
sci carrying them TO capture and condemnation.
Such being the law, the analogy between tho
contraband letter, OF dispatch. and the person
bearing it, seems plain. The ambassador.
whether he carries his communication IN writing
OF in his memory, Is the substitute for the dis
patch, and would seem to become, Ike il, habl,
to capture.
But we are not left to form this conclusion
from analogy alone. Strangely enough, aIthougL
the present case Is one quite novel in its circum-
stances, a distinguished English Judge has Civ
en- an opinion directly bearing upon it. In the
case Of the Caroline, English Admiralty Re
ports, J Sir William Scott, in defining the rights
Of beIligerents in respect to neutral vessels, says
with singular terseness: You may step the am
bassador of your enemy on his passage Ger
tainly, nothing could be more distinct, or more
directly applicable to the case of Messrs Mason
and SlideH.
Disagreeable, as it is, We cannot resist the iu
ference, that the English government VIII de-
cline any interference in behalf Of our captured
commissioners. II SO, it is better. that our peo-
pie should know the sober truth, 40 once, thau
chat, impressed with a vague belief in the pro
lection afforded By a foreign flag, they should
