TENNEssEE.-We bow our heads in
.orrov for our beloved Tennessee. The
foot of the invader is upon her, and his
hand is upon her throat. A day Of venge-
auce will come. Some of her sons are
selfish traitors and have sold her. But
seventy-seven regiments Of her loyal men
are in arms all over the Southern Con-
federacy-enough if concentrated to sci
her free uuaided. They will never sub
NIT to her subjugatiou. Not one in Q
hundred Of her citizens will ever sit down
contented until the hateful flag of the
enemy is banished from her soil.
We anxiously await the development OF
the plans which have induced our aban
doumeut Of Kentucky, and the middle
portion of Tennessee, to the enemy. We
are curious to see how the movement is
estimated at head quarters, and what will
be the criticism of military men. For
ourselves we attempt none. We can only
reflect in the deepest sorrow, how hard il
Is, that with seventy thousand OF her men,
and more taken from her bosom and scat
tered upon the Potomac, in the mountains
of Virginia, upon the Mississippi, and FL
over the South where battles are fought
for other homes she should have been de
iivered, in their absence, 70 the enemy as .
worthless member of the South, aud that
without struggle. 1t may be all for th'
best. Our judgment should not be hasty
But We may say let Arkausians take warn
ing, and flock to their own border. They
are most interested in standing there.

COLUMBUS EvAcUATED.-The follow
iog from the Memphis Appeal of the 4th
inst leaves no doubt Of this movement
As the evacuation Of Columbus BY our
army is now completed; and is known to
both our citizens and to the enemy, we
see no impro2riety in its publication. Ii
was successfully effected, and the last ship
meut of guns aud troops made on Satur-
day evening last, to Island No. 10 and
other points below, where much stron-
ger position had been assumed, and prop
erly fortified. The cabins used for winter
quarters, and other public property not
portable, we're burned before the exit OF
the rear guard Of the place.
This movement has been executed 10 a
manner that reflects great credit upon the
commander who planned and supervised it.
1t was one of those military necessities
which cannot be appreciated so readily by
those unacquaiuted with the situation
We are advised that the new position is
considered BY Gen. BEAUaEGARD as much
more impreguable, comparatively, than
Columbus, 10 a. much as flank move
ment cannot be made against it with such
facility. We look on Memphis aud the

1--WE are requested by Hon. LEN. B. GREEN
to state that, owing to the excitement now
prevailing the public mind, in consequence OF
the threatened invasion of our State, and il
view of the fact that half or more of the voter:
of the district, including parties litigant, wit
nesses and attorneys, are, or will be, absent
in the military service ofthe Confederate States,
he will not hold the Spring term of the Circuit
Courts in the counties of Ouachita, Columbia,
and Lafayette; and that the Spring term of the
Courts will be holden in the counties of Union,
Calhoun and Hampstead for the purpose alone
of disposing of important criminal cases pend
ing in said Courts.
Under the law passed at the late session OF
the Legislature, most of the civil cases have
already been, or would be: continued to the
fall term of the Courts, and hence there is little
or no necessity of holding the Spring term for
the trial of civil cases.

FREE TRADE-We alluded some time

The policy of unlimited free trade is n,

economy. 1t is of course proper to modif.
it, when some peculiar reason may arise
For Instance. There is IA large portion o
our country e, for nothing else but sugar
Cotton cannot be made upon it, nor rice
The high price Of slaves, precludes the
