The Shameless, CowardIy Yunkeea.

The Richmond Whig concludes a bitter and
scratching article about the dsbatement of the
Yankees in their conduct in the Mason and Si-
dell affair, as follows:
History makes frequent mention of individuals
pining way or putting an end to their lives
through shame. This always implies the exis-
tence of a sentiment of honor for without that,
the degradation would be unfelt. We have no
record of an entire nation Of cowards-upless
the Chinese are an instance. There are always
enough individuals in every community, how
ever degraded, to feel a national disgrace and
communicate their feelings to others. The ma
jority may prefer disgrace and ease to glory and
danger. We think it highly probable that this
is the case with the Yankee government and the
Yankee people. The manner In which they
treated and spoke Of their own shameful cow
ardice of the Bull Run races, prepared US to be
lieve this. Blu there are some men at the North,
who will feel dishOnOr acutely. They may be
powerless to turn aside the disgrace of their
section; but they viii be enough to make the
dishonor rankle in the side of YankeedOm. An
insulted, degraded and cowardly nation, like an
individual vino exhibits no spirit, must in the
long run be compelled to hang down its head
1t may attempt to laugh off the shame but in
suits once tamely endured provoke others; and
kicks and indignities will be shOWered upon it
But, in whatever manner or on whatever
terms, the Yankees succeed, if at all, in getting
out Of the scrape with England, the affair of the
Trent has produced one result, on which we can
not too much congratulate ourselves. 1t has
opened the eyes of England and of Europe to
the important fact. that we of the South are a
very different people from the Yankees. We
shall no longer be cOnfounded in European esti-
nation with that lying, cOwaTdlv race.

a Plan of Popular Loan to Ihe Govern
mlenf.

/ q Plan Of Popular Loan to Ghe Tavern.
ment.
We learn that the government has devised a
new system Of popular loan, which presents such
extraordinary advantages for investment that it
cannot fill to attract the attention not only of
CAPITALISTS, bur Of the large classes in the com
muuity who may desire to invest small sums Of
money in a safe and profitable form, and for
short terms. The advantage Of the new plan of
loan is nearly that of deposits on call and re-
sembles the savings bank system. Mr.. Mem
minger, the Secretary Of the Treasury, has pro
posed to parties having money to loan, to invest
in government bonds, or registered stock, on the
following liberal terms
Il is proposed to make the stock run from
three to eighteen years, bat to give it nearly the
advantage Of a loan on call by making it paya-
Bile at any period Of six months intervening be-
tween three and eighteen years, with the inter
est at the rate OF eight per cent. per annum,
payable semisnnUally, in coin.
Holders Of treasury notes can at any time
procure from the same treasurer, assistant treas
urer, de ~o5itaTies or commissioners bonds or reg
isteTed stock in exchange for treasury notes the
said bonds or stock to be recoverable, at the
pleasure of the holder into treasury notes, and to
bear interest at the rate of six per cent. per an
mum, until so ~reconverted, and thus constituting
a deposit on call, bearing six per cent interest.
Both classes of stock-that of six per cent avail
able as a deposit on call, and that of eight per
cent. payable at any period Of six months, pre-
sent better advantages for investment than ihe
usual standards Of commercial loans, and viii,
no doubt, in other regards, recommend them
selves to the people Of the South-RichiHOad En-
Gmjaer, 18th.
The Examiner says The new system Of pop
ular loan viii enable the government. it is said,
to get all the money it wants. The Secretary Of
the Treasury has determined to introduce some
changes in the produce loan office, and Prof
DeBow, the superintendent of the loan, has gone
to New Orleans to take charge of a branch of
the Office to be established in that city.

CARENET.

There is no longer any doubt about the resig-
nation of CAMERON, the Federal Secretary of
War, Of his position in the Washington Cabinet.
The nomination of Hon. EDWIN NJ STANTON,
his successor, was sent to the Senate on the 18th.
The Chicago Times announces the fact as
" startling news" and in the same sentence init
mates that " the resignation soas compulsory
Various causes were assigned for the change,
but the enc most generally credited at the North
is that a difference Of opinion existed between
LINCOLN, Gen. MCCLELLAN and CAMERON,
which compelled the latter to vacate the office
he compromising by approprating the diplomatic
position in Russia.
The new Secretary, Hon. E. Al. Stanton, has
been for some years prominent as a politician in
the North, of the conservative Democratic school,
He was for many years at the head Of a leading
law firm in Pdtsburg, subsequently, he removed
to SteubenviIle, Ohio, and afterwards to Wash
inrton He was sent to California, early in
President B~UCHANAN's administration, to inves-
tirate alleged frauds against the government, in
she adjustment of the old Mexican and Spanish
land-grant claims. On the breaking up Of Mr..

southern members, he succeeded Judge BLACK

mOVEEENTs on THE TENNESSEE.

MOVEMENTS GU THE TENNESSEE.
A trip to Paris, Tennessee, by one Of our re-
porters, enables US to correct many of the NJ
mors afost, and to give to the public the true
state Of affairs in that section
At Paris tie citizens were aroused, and a few
families had lef, but not 70 the extent that has
been reported. Anumber Of negroes had also
been sent Of. Business was, however, progres.
sing as usual, and the inhabitants, after tie first
excitement caused by the reported approach of
the enemy, resumed their usual avocations in
confidence that the military authorities at Bowl
ing Green and Columbus were equal to the
emergency, and would secure their beautiful
town, aud the railroad bridges, from being Ia
ken possession Of or destroyed by the enemy.
Gen. 5. c BRowN obngiugly furnished Us a
letter from q gentleman who had been some days
IN position to learn the movements Of the Federal
forces. A. We stated yesteHd0y morning, on
Sunday evening last Gen. SMITH, with three
regiments Of infantry and a battalion Of cavalry,
was at Murray, and Gen WALLAcE's brigade,
with the artillery, was at Mayfeld Bad roads,
and 8 rise in Clark's nver, had prevented the lat
Ter from advancing, up to TIVE o'clock on Sun
day. The same authority stated chat the bag
gsgetrain, two hundred snd seventy-fve wagons,
had mired down, and the baggage-master was
throwing out many articles. After leaving May
field the county was plundeTed to supply the
deficiency, by taking food and forage indiscrimi-
nately. Money and negroes were also appropri-
s.ed. The officers and men generally stated the
object 0 the expedition to be the capture Of Fort
Henry and the destruction of the railroad bridge
across the Tennessee; and had not the roads
broken up, the latter object might have been ac-
eonplsbed, as they could have advanced more
ra5;dlv. and would at that time have found the
work comparatively unguarded. The delay to
which they were subjected has, however, afford
81 tine 70 render that important point secure
and We presume 1t has been done. If neglected,
it Is worse than imbeciitJ on the part Of our gen
erals.
This movement was supported by operations

transports. On Saturday morning twenty-five
shots were fred at the fort, all Of which Tell
short. The boats then retired but subsequently
landed about twenty-five hundred troops at Ag-
news ferry, twenty-five miles below the fort
and on the opposite side of the river. The Pur-
nose Of rhis force was supposed to be to eo-ope-
with Gen. SsurH's column in a land attack,
while the gunboa5s would attack upon the river.
The defenses of the fort were completed, and
are represented to be of a very formidable char
No information had been received by
Gen. TmGHMAN of any movement on the Cum
berland to Fort Donelson, although the enemy
at Mayfeld represented that one would be made.

~ Messrs. Mason and Siden, remarks the
Richmond Enquirer, have probably reached Lon
don about this time. They viii find the Eng
fish and French courts favorably inclined to the
recognition of the Confederate States as a sepa-
rate and independent nationality. Their own
mouths will be filed with arguments that viii
encourage and stimulate this disposition. We
think it probable that in ten days they will be
formally received as the accredited ENJOYS Of a
regular and established government, and that in
three weeks we shall have the news. We expect
this, not as a matter of favor to US, but Of our
right, and Of their duty, prompted by their IN
terests. Recognition win be but the door to
what lies beyond It involves the question OF
inefficient blockades, and stone bIOekades. Sc
ward has said he does not see how our reeogni-
ton can fail to produce a war with the United
States. Russell will show Elm. We can tell
him. He has but to ruu-as ne did IN the
Trent case.

MESSAGE OF II GOVERNOR Of WISCONSIN.
We find in our northern exchanges the late
message Of the Governor Of Wisconsin. He
states that the current expenses of the State
during the year 1861 were $435, 1861, and the
disbursements S4I8, 96O.44, leaving a balance to
the credit of the general fund, on December 81,
of SI6,56843. A deficiency of $22,573 is antic-
ipated in the revenues of the present fiscal year,
owing mainly to the falling off Of the bank tax.
The transactions OF the war fund amount in
receipts and expenditures to 1857 ,56879- Wis
consin furnished one three months regiment,
and has now in Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri
eleven regiments, numbering l0,1I7 men. In
addition there are in the State waiting orders
four regiments, numbering 1857 men. The State
mas furnished and has now organizing a total of
men.

Convention OF Editors Of the Confederate
States,


States,
We observe in our exchanges a proposition,
originating we believe with the Memphis AP-
PEAL, for a convention of the edit rs and news,
paper publishers of the Confederaey, for the pur-
pose Of concerning measures for the establish
ment Of a more perfect Geographic sysAmI
There is undoubtedly great room for improve
ment in our present costly, inefficient and unre-
liable Geographic arrangement By consultation
and cooperation on the part of the conductors
Of the press, important reforms might be effected
in this and other matters connected with the
newspaper business, Of great benefit not only
to the craft, but to the public at large. We cor
daily concur in the views of the APPEAL and
other cotemporsries who have adopted its sug-
g%estions, and hope that the convention will be
held at sn early day. Atlanta, Georgia, has
been designated as a suitable place, and the Co
lumbus Times proposes Wednesday, the 4th of
March, as the day for the meeting. For one, we
accept the Times suggestion.
We clip the above from the Savannah Ne0s,
and are glad to see our proposition for a conven-
ton seconded by our esteemed contemporary.
A large majority of the presses that have ex-
pressed an opinion upon the subject however,
have named Atlanta as the place, and Mgch
18th as the time, for the convention. Whafd6es
the Ne,os say to this
The following paragraph we find in the Re
publican of the Goth
WESTERN NEws.-We would suggest to the
" Southern Associated Press which, we be-
lieve, is a single individual, selEcreatsd into an
inStitutiOa-to dispense altogether with its Nash
vile agency. The news from that Office almost
invariably reaches us the same day by the Nash
vile papers, and frequently a day ahead Of the
telegraph. For the press to have to pay tele-
graphic tolls for such information is simply an
imposition. We go in for the Atlanta Editorial
Convention, and the press taking matters in its
own hands.

Al a skirmish we had at jamestown, KY, we
had the misfortune to lose our old comrade, james
TAFT. He was wounded in the skirmish, and by
some means his horse became frightened and ran
into town with hims when the Lincolnites brutal
" murdered him. On his arrival in town, the
Iineolnites questioned him, and on his telling
them that be was wounded, and reioiced at being
on the side of the South, they killed him with
their murderous fire. He died a patriot and q
brave man. He was color-bearer that day, and
after he was wounded, Adjutant Blackman
seized them and prevented them from falling into
the hands Of the enemy.
