ID p"rtaenl of the nssissippi-InvasIon Tennessee
Several months since, the New York Herald called
the attention OF the Government to the importance OF
occupying ClarksVile, in Tennessee The frequent TO-
rays OF the Federal gunbOas up the Cumberland river
and their buccaneering expeditions down the Mssis-
sEpl together with the fact that between twenty and
thirty thousand of the Federal troops between Bowl
Ing Green and Louisville, upon the railroad are facts
which indicate with very great certainty that the policy
OF our enemies is to make grand attack upon the prn
cpal points commanding the great highway of the Ten
nessee and Cumberland rivers and the passage to the
Cotton States through Virginia and Tennessee.
Paducah, Smithland, Henderson and Louisville are
already occupied by the Federal forces The former
commands the mouth of the Tennessee and the second
that of the Cumberland. he most important railroad
10 iennesse crosses both of these rivers points only
lew hours OF steamboat travel from Paducah and
Smlthland 1t ls of the utmost importance that the de-
fences of these rivers should be complcte at all points
aud jhe highways they afford be most tctuay closed
against the emmy.
The Mississippi is said to be so completely fortified
to preclude the possibility OF any attempt OF the enemy
to desc nd it. Late movements indicate that the en-
my &C emp!atlng the experiment of passing through
lenntssee and IN short time may be compelled tC
witness the Immediate abandonment of the campaigr
in Kentucky and its traner to Tennessee.
1t the enemy to get into possession of the
railroad from Memphis it would put MIN in Gen. Buck
NERs rear, cut Of communications between differen
parts Of the State and leave Memphis and the wh0
South fearfully exposed.
The situation is evidently critical. The routes WI
have indicated afford immediate entrances to the South
States; and every consideration of safety-urged il
TACT, by the indications of the Northern rress of th
objects of the invasion of Tennessee-demands tha
these routes should be strongly and viganty guarded

Convention touching Duties aud C"rgoes, daring
War.
The following resolution was offered by Mr. Lamar,
of Georgia. in the late Commercial and Planters Con
vention, and unanimously adopted
ResoEued That it be recommended the Con2ress of
imports and that ali the ports Of Confederate States be
thrown open and be made free to the trade Of all The
tlons OF the void who mantan peace with u.s.
The words suspend the collection of all duties on
imports" we presume means, during the 1t does
not that the duties tC be G60llShed but the
collection OF them merely during the are to be sus
pended The object s to encourage the citizens OF tor
egn nations to the blockade by Offering TO them all
the benefit they obtain in selling their goods free OF
duties. This is a very good object and we approve OF
it. 1t does not in any way, sanction the sending OF
cotton out of the country during the blockade 1t does
not touch the voluntary embargo which the people have
laid On themselves
Mother resolution was also submitted by the Com
mittee and adopted unanimously by the Con vention as
follows
ResoEued That in order to encourage the import alton
articles necessary the present o. the country
return cagos ought to be furnished all vessels n1rodu-
cling commodities within the Confederate States from Euro
pean nations the accumulation of stocks in the seaports
and large interior Cities being at the same time, regarded
impOuc.
This resolution as we understand it, and as it was
doubtless understood by the planters and others pre-
sent, also approve Of Our readers VIII perceive
that the word cotton is not contained in the resou-
ton. 1t simply states that return cargoS ought to oe
furnished" Are they to be of cotton? 1t does not
say so Are they to be of whatever commodity the yes
sells may require 1t does pot say So 1t simply
says that they may take " return cargos which nc
one will object to. The word stocks does not en-
tighten the matter because there can be stocks o
turpentine lumber tobacco rice, wheat corn, &c The
resolution simply arms that when vessel brings into
Confederate port articles necessary in the present ex
igencies of the country they shall not be compelled
90 out in baast--a proposition one would oppose
So the resolution was unanimously adopted. Although
perhaps so construed by some it does not by its terms
condemn or touch the voluntary embargo on cotton
which the people of the Confederate States have i'm

We c0nversed yesterday with gentleman who ar
rived III our city Monday from New York, which
place he left two weeks ago. He gives some highly
interesting particulars OF the state OF cling at the
North and the difficulties be encountered in making bis
way South
He LETT New York for Cincinnati, ard from there
reached Louisville, Ey in a steamer, While st Gin
cinnaC his baggage overtauIed. AT L uisvilr, he
obtained pass from Gen Sherman to go to Hardens-
burg KY, the line. He succeeded in taking with
him carriage on board steamer bound to Coverport
che hundred and ten miles below Louisville Ky. Upon
arriving there at daylight he started for Falls Run
twenty mts below, and on reaching there met Others
going South After leaving Fails Run, they reached
Caneville, where they stopped by Pickes but al
lowed proceed to ClOverp0rt Wishing to go ten
miles further, they made preparations for attack on
the Pickets, determined to pass at any hazard They
allowed to pass however after little parey to
Green River, which they crossed Previous to reaching
the river, they met with three armed mounted Kentuck
ians who assured them OF having passed all danger and
that they amoug friends Here too, they met the
Kentuckans coming in from the mountains to join the
Confederate forces at Bowling Green.
Our informant feels assured that Kentucky will come
right. At present, owing to the presence of Gen
Sherman with large force OF Ohio troops and the resi-
dent Yankee Unonists, the Southern obliged
to observe the greatest caution In their movements
Large numbers of Unionsts coming into the State
from Ohio Indiana and Illinois, and some grand move
was contemplated.
He further states that while ia New York, he observ
ed in the Times and Herald an announcement that MIR
Robert Mure had been released from Fort Lafayette
| and had sailed for Europe.
Our informant was much surprised to fud such
strong feeling the interior of the State of New YorE
in favor of peace and the South white (peace) hae
was raised for two days at place between Pratsvil
and Catskill Very extensive war preparations are go
ing on in the city OF New York. and forty to fory-fv
thousand men expected shortly to leave for SOM

reasonable for cash. A house can be rented in New
York for the taxes alone. The Herald is out in YER
indignant article at the bockaders for allowing the Ber
muda to reach Southern port.
The Government is paying literally for all kinds o
vessels, which are at changed into gun boats Al
kinds Of 'raud is practiced Military commissions dr.
bargained for large rumber of iron clad vessels ar

The B1oCKADERs-The Charleston Courier of the
22nd says that change has lately taken place in the
vessels bockading this harbo those that here for
mery having been relieved, and the flag ship now off
the Bar is the steam frgate Roanoke Capt. Marston-
Captain Dupont, who is to command this part of the
Southern Coast, has not yet arrived but expected
daily and as be is an officer of courage and ability and
believes in the Stars and Stripes may perhaps look
for something more than usual after he comes
The Roanoke assisted in the blockade by several pro-
pellers of which, think, is the Flag command
ed, we believe by an officer named Sartor. She is a
merchant craft altered to vessel but is OF small
size and can go into shallow water. Whoever she may
be she moves with great speed and makes convenient
blOckader
We understand that the policy of the Federals for
the future will be to gradually take off all the heavy
ships and put gun boats in their place Our Govern
ment cannot too soon meet this measure by placing eV-
cry shpwrght in the South at work on suitable steam
vessels TO be used in opening our ports to the commerce
of the world and destroying The vessels which constantly
threaten our coast"
