How much longer do the secesionists
Of Middle Tennessee design.to wage Sc
cret and open war against the Federal
Government They have triaed with
our dearest and noblest interests long
enough already. They have filed our
borders with mourning and unutterable
sorrow and all for nonght. Their
boosted armies fly from before our forces
without battle, aud the cause Of re-
bellion grows weaker rapidly. It is in a
hopeless consumption their is no mis-
taking the significance Of its CLASSY eye,
its hectic flush, and it's sepulchral cough,
Itgets its supplies by robbery, and fills
its armies by CONSUMPTION. The enthu-
siasm which attended its advent has
died away; and its pr6gres in the South
is beheld with mingled emotions Of dis
trust, disgust and despair, on the part
of the people. All the potency Of the
boosted watchword Southern Rights"
has vanished forever. The Federal army,
returns in greater strength and spirits
than ever, and the advancing banner Of
the Union Vanguard again waves in
sight Of the city. Is it possible that
any one of intelligence, of humanity, will
hesitate to espouse the course of the
Union openly? Most earnestly we pray
that it may not be So Our army comes
no more to entreat and conciliate rebels.
Before it magnanimously and mercifully
delayed to strike, but alas, its hesitation
was attributed by rebels to cOwardice.
We now warn secessionists that they
must make their choice instantly between
loyalty and Punishment and confscation.
IL is utterly absurd, and every candid
secessionist must admit it, to think that
rebels will be suffered to live among
loyal citizens. Either the rebels or the
loyal must seek another abode. 1t is
an insult to common sense to suppose
they can live together. As well might
we expect that fire and gun-powder
could lie quietly together. No COVER
ment will knowingly allow the seeds of
its ruin TO terminate and grow on its
bosom. A house divided against itself
cannot stand. The loyal men of Nash
vile and of Tennessee are determined TO
stay under the Federal Government.

The Late Accident on the Missis
sippi Central Railroad.

The Grenada Appeal of the Goth inst
gives the following particulars of the
late terrible accident on the Mississippi
Central Railroad;
One of the most terrible railroad acct
dents it has ever fallen to our lot TO re-
cord occurred on Sunday morning last,
between the regular passenger trains on
the Mississippi Central Railroad. The
down train, with eleven cars, drawn by
engine James Brown, conducted by Pc
ter Kirby, and the up train, twelve cars.
engine A. M. West, Mr.. Bender engineer,
consulted by Mr.. Shelton, collided one
mile below Duck Hill station, causing
one of the most terrible wrecks Of ma.
chinery we have ever beheld, and fur
nishing a chronicle Of casualties exceed
ing anything of the kind ever known in
the South, and but seldom equalled in
the country.
The two platform cars in front were
crowded, as were the platforms Of the
passenger coaches, with soldiers, who
were on their way to their egiments and
were unable TO obtain seats. Nearly all
Of these were killed or injured. One
man was killed by being thrown from
platform car at the rear of the train
None Of the officers or attaches Of the
road were injured, except Mr. Kirby, the
conductor of the down train, who re-
ceived slight sprain of the ankle in
jumping from his train. None of the
regular passengers were injured with the
exceptions Of few slight bruises. Many
of the latter informed us that the con-
cussion was so slight as to scarcely at
tract attention, and upon examining as TO
the cause Of the stoppage Of the trains
they were horfiiled to learn the extent Of
damage inflicted.
The casualties were thirty five killed
and between forty and fifty wounded.
Most Of the latter were severely injured.
and the attending physicians gave it as
their opinion that several could not re-
cover. The severely wounded were taken
TO Canton.
With a single exception the dead were
buried close to the spot where the acci-
dent occurred, in a common grave.

The Richmond Examiner recommends
that negroes be drafted into the Confed-
crate army as teamsiers, labortr1 &c.
The samv paper is apprehensive Of a
demonstration ON Mobile. Itsays
Our exchanges speak with great ankle
" of the prospect of an attack at Mobile
by the enemy, which attack might in
vOlve important consequences, as the cap
ture of that point would give the enemy
immediate possession of the Alabama
and Tombigbee Rivers. A march of the
enemy into the interior of Alabama would
succeed in cutting the Confederacy more
completely in two than the enemy could
hope TO do even by the possession Of the
Mississippi River through its entire
length, as it would destroy the line of
communication now passing through
Montgomery, which has been of incaleu-
liable benefit to the people of the entire
South.

Thrilling Speech of a Rebel General


The Kentucky correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette tells the following story
at the expense of rebel Kentuckian
One of our prisoners, fair mimic, tells
a good story on Gen. Buford, of Lexing-
ton, who accepted a Brigadier's commits
sion from Kirby Smith, and during the
stay Of the rebels in Kentucky tried to
raise Brigade Of cavalry. Our prisoner,
KentucAian-glad to be made a pris-
oner, so that he can return home--says
Buford was in command of the rear
guard, and when the firing began, he adj
dressed his men briefly, telling them to
stand firm for the honor of Kentucky
and the glorious cause of Southern Rights.
Rally round your banner" said he.
The eyes Of the Confederacy and the
world are upon you. Stand firm, and"
At this juncture a shell from one of
Lieut.. Throckmorton's pieces, went whiz-
zing past the Generals head, when he
finished his little speech by telling bis
men to take care of themselves and
then, putting spurs to his horse, dashed
up the road, his followers close at his
heels.

SUPERABUNDANcE or MEN.-There is,
according TO the census, an excess Of
733, 25S males over females in the United
States. This fact is noteworthy and
ought to quiet the apprehensiOns Of those
who feared The war would cause an I'M
due prepOnderance Of women after peace
was declared. No matter how bloody
the war may be, or how long il lasts, it
cannot make way with three quarters Of
million Of lives. The waste Of lite
may make the sexes nearly even; but
even then we shall be better on than

lem Of the day is how 10 provide them
