The Legislature will adjourn to-day, We

= prolOngatiOn of their session, were of
fered yesterday evening, and voted down.
A statement among others was made, that
the Convention would present tho new
Constitution for their ratification, BY Nom
day next, This failed, however, to change
the mind of the Legislature. They re-
solved to let the Consultation 20 first be-
fore the people for hsiy ratification, before
eOnIiderinR it themselves, which was right
enough. Mr.. Smith, of Marion, offered a
resolution providing that when the mem-
bers Ee-assemble. they do SO at their own
cost This was voted down. Mr.. HOOton,
of Preston, made severe criticism on the
action of the Convention in eularEing the
State boundary, the effect of which, he
said, was simply to defeat the objects Of a
new State.

distant only ffty miles from Weldon,
the centre Of the south-AtIantis rail-
road system. Once in our hands. a.
it will be soon nov, and We shall hear
the bousI of the rebellion breaking aud
cracking in every direction. Weldon is
not ten miles distant from CASTOR, the
only other point At which the rebels in
Eastern Virginia can communicate with
The South. except through Tennessee, and
Wewill soon make short work Of them in
that State.
Bat the most glorious feature of the
news is the voyage that our guuboats made
on the Tennessee river as far as Florence,
Alabama No comment of ours can add
to the force of the telegraph account of the
voyage It was most complete sue
cess. The boats were received with the
widest joy BY the people along the
river. Old men cried like children at the
sight of the Stars and Strips. They invited
the officers aud crew of the boats to theil
houses AID told them that all they had wa,
at their disposal. Large numbers were
anxious to enlist under the old flag, and

drsd aud city to ell up the crews. Our
oficers Wers assured that IL they would
wais few days whole regiments could be
raised, and If The Government would
give them arms to defend themselves they
could soon bring Tennessee back into the
Union. At Savannah, Clifton, PASSPORT
and Florence the officers and men Of ouu
boats went ashore without arms and mingl.
ed freely with the people.
The report says that not gun was fred
going or coming. Well does the despatch
conclude by saying that nothing during
the war has been 50 ProUtrating to the reb.
els as this victory and gun boat expedition
This great victory will soon be followed
by another, 10 our opinion. We are nov
almost in the rear of the rebels at Bowl
ing Green. They must retreat and disban,
or be cut on. We hardly see that it i
possible for them now to get away. l
Fort Donaldson is Immediately attacke,
and taken, We will bag the whole Bowling
Green army and the Cumberland rive
will then be ours to Nashville. We ma,
expect to hear of this attack every hon
