The news from Tennessee contiDses to be not very
pleasant 10 addition to the elegrsphic accounts else
where reported we hear that telegram has been re-
ceived announcing that four Of the enemys gunboats
have assembled the Tennessee River to Florence in Ala
bama the head Of navigation landed on the south-side
of the river about 800 and proceeded in the direction
Of Tuscumbia on the Railroad Their oNsc: Is supposed
to be to sezs cars on the road and make their wey to
Decatur some 40 miles distant and destroy the bridge
across the river at that place. If they succeed in their
esgu as they may do If they proceed with the celebrity
indicated, they will embarrass operations consider
ably In interrup,ing communication between Memphis
and the East but the consequences will not be fatal or
irrepaIable We should think however much they may
be taken by SURPRISE the people Of that region ought to
be able to bag the whole of the invaders We may hope
also that this adventure may suggest to our rulers that
the policy of elneidtion is about out, ard that Is
getting to be time TO direct column Of 10000 upon
the heart Of the enemy's country.
The late news from Europe is more promising than
any that has been received of determination on the
rart of England and France Of the latter especially TO
break the blockade and recognize tho Confederate
States.
PS.-Siuce the foregoing written, the telegraph
announces the capture Of Roanoke Island and all our
forces on il.

Failure Of the MerrImac.

Il having leaked out through some ndiscrcet papers,
that the Merrimsc wasa failure, the Norfolk Day Book
undertakes to explain the and the extent OF the
flure IAN erroneous calculation in tue displacement
Of the ship made and this was occasioned by
iuce,sant alterations made by the Bureau OF con
s,ructou in Richmond. This error, which amounted to
some 200 tons was not discovered until the ship ives
aoated 10 replacing her, shs caught upon the blocks
aud received considerable strain, which will render It
necessary to take Of her machinery, and DO
consider able repairs.
This Is bad piece Of work. But the Day Box socks
to comfort us by the assurance that il unfit for sea, she
will make an invaluable a>atng battery for the protee
ton Of Norfolk Better good for something than moth
ing. We shall have to catch Ysrkses and make them
build ships for US We see tho scoundrels have slresdy

Voting In Camp.

We learn from Yorktown that the polls will be opened
there-eaviug the question Of legality to be decided
hereafter We presume such will be the case In all the
camps We suspect the Attorney General Is correct in
the opinion that the ordinance provisional; but he
might have suggested a remedy The very last act Of
the Convention was an ordinance auhorzg the GsneIa
Assembly to provide for just such cases as this. On
Saturday an act might have been pissed may not be
too late even this morning, nearly all the camps are
in reach Of the telegraph.
The following is the provision Of the ordinance re-
srred to- The Let and u sections authorize voting in
camps at any general special election for the Gen"
sral ,,,aBy" The Srd section is follows, looking
TO other elections for which legislation is necessary
g. Power Is hereby given TO the General Assembly to
make such laws during the existing war between the
Confederate States and the Prcsiden; OF the United
States as may be requisite to authorize the qualified
voters Of the Commonwealth who may be in the mil
ary service on the day of any election under the Con-
stuton TO vote within their encampment at such cleo
tons.

Ano,horAr,IeIe from Blackwood.

We publish to-day another article from B!dckT'Od, re-
lAtug to the affairs o! the country. This production
We have reason to believe from the pen Of Sir James
Ferguson NJ P who visited both sections of tho old
Union during the las Fall Il is the best and most dis
passionate view Of the contendng parties which has
been presented the Europern mind and cannot fail to
produce favorable impreG sion in behalf Of the South
The writer refers with emphasis to the enthusiastic
feeling which pervades the Southern people, and to the
generous confidence which that people have reposed in
tSer public servants He has not exaggerated In this re-
spec. The world has 6rmer aud more gen
era determination among any population in any cause
and the free, opeihesried confidence, with which they
have committed their all to the guidance OF their ruers
has never been surpassed in any age. Whether those
rulers are worthy Of that unsehsh confidence is yet to
be determined by results Il should operate as an in
ucenen Of tremendous force TO eIertion on their part
to realize the hopes Of conhdug people. In the pre-
sence Of such an oupouring Of heart by whole people
all past antpathes all petty pr'udices, all selfish or sor
did aims should disappear at and forever from the
scene II 1t should turn out that blessed with
Rulers worthy in head and heart Of such people and
such cause, VIC shall not only triumph over our foes
but present to the world model of Republican Govern
ment, which will merit the gratitude and challenge the
admiration Of mankind.
