they lose Tennessee forever. We trust the!
will not have long to wait for it.
M,ssO,RI.-This State refused to secede, yet
her traitor Governor and large number OF
her active politicians disregarded her decision
and began at an early day to rase regiments
for tho service of JEFF. Davis, under the name
Of estate Guard"-the same that was en-
ployed in Kentucky by Gen. Buckner, now
prisoner of war. The Rebels thus mastering

Since them the whole State except st. LOUIS
and its immediate vicinity has been the theater
of q guerrilla war, in which an enormous
amount of property has been destroyed an
thousands of lives sacrificed. For time, last
Sumner, the fates were against the Unonists;
but at last the scale iDcnes decisvely TO the
right side. Gen. Sterling Price. with whom ID
doubtless the traitor Governor Clib. +. Jackson
has been second time hunted down to the
southwest corner of the State, but IS now
hunted clean cut OF it, losing large portion
of his army in the chase. There are plenty OF
slayehodug Rebels at present in the State, as
the recent concerted burning Of the bridges on
the North Missouri Railroad established; but
there is no embodied Rebel force, or Rebel lag
nying, unless it be among the s~amps OF Tue
southeast, where JEFF. Thompson MAINTAINS

warfare. Since his defeat at Fredericton,
however, he has not ventured to do much If
anything.
Administrations. Curtis and Sige sharp
on the trail of the fugitive Price, have just
raised the Union flag in this State. Arkansas
refused at first b. a clOse vote to unite in the
rebellion, but was afterward somehow dragged
in. There have been Indications of a strong
though quiet sentiment of loyalty among her
people, which 1t ia believed this advance will
rouse to action.
MssIssIPPI.-This State is perhaps the only
one over which the fag of the Union does not
float at this moment. Holding a majority OF
her population 10 slavery, and being entirely
devoted to cotton-grow ing and closed against
all external Intelligence, II is probable that
majority of her whites, Ike those OF South
Carolina, Will persist in the rebellion TIL they
learn that it has gone up
LorISI,YA.-The Union cause in this State
was frightiully prejudiced by ridiculous Proc
lamation issucd By Col. Phelps from Ship
Island last Defenders yet majority of the

ready TO welcome and uphold the raising of
the Stars and Stripes. We shall be disap-
uointed if New-Oreans ia not an ayowed Union
city within month. This State gave a bare
majority for Secession in Nov. 1860, and has
since seen reason enough TO repent of that
vote. The Union forces at Ship Island land at
Biloxi aud other points along the Cult, without
meeting opposition.
TfyAs.-We are assured that Galveston will
raise the Union flag and stand by it whenever
a competent force appears in her harbor. The

the Union. There is o majority OF Unionists
in the state to-day, aud ten thousand men
landing at Galveston viii take down the last
Rebel nag within u month.
-MEXICo.-A battle is imminent be-
tween n Texan force invading this Territory
and its Union defenders. The Texan DULLES
will probably be whipped, but it is of slender
general consequence whether they are or not.
If victorious, they can hardly take Santa Fe
before Intelligence will reach that city that the
rebellion is played cut"
Such are the auspices under which the
Hon. jeff. and Lieut.. Aeck. are to be inaugu-
rated President and Nice-Presdent of the
Shareholder. Coniederacy for six years ahead
If they could only draw their salaries for the
