SCENE IN THE CiRcuIT CoURr.-Ouite a
scene was gotten up yesterday in this Court,
upon Judge Breckenridge announcing to
the members of the bar that they would be
required TO take the oath of allegiance pre-
YIons to proceeding to business. The mott
hcation created quite sensation among the
" butter-nut" class. Such of them az were
present, however, made q virtue of necessi-
ty, and grimaced over the oath, except
Uriel Wright, ESQ. This gentleman made
a lengthy speech TO the Court against the
unconstltutionality of the requirement, and
refused TO take and subscribe to the OATH
After he got through, Judge B. asked him
If he persisted in his refusal, and upon re-
plying that he did, and asking the Judge if
be could not go on with the cases, he was
promptly told that he could not practice in
his Court. The gentleman then took his
seat, and commenced writing what was
supposed to be protest against the nneoH-
stitutionality of the decision of the Court
or possibly bill of exceptions to its adverse
ruling. By what judicial procedure, in
error, by mandamus, or otherwise, Mr.. W.
expects to reverse the decision, remains to
be seen.-Mo. Dem, Thursday.

Commissioners, having stated to Earl Rus

entered and left the blockade ports, the
Earl told the House that he had asked Mr..
Mason what was the tonnage of the vessels

that question Mr., Mason aods unable to giUe
him any arlsaoer. That, said the Earl, was
a matter of great importance in the ques-
ton, because the seven ports blockaded were
connected with several other smaller ports,

other; but these could hardly be sailing PES

DisclOsut es in Diplomacy.

There has been recently published a
bulky volume, which contains a great mass
of correspondence between our State De.
partment and our Representatives in Fo.
reign States. From the nature of part
of its contents, we should infer that some
of the matter ought to have been withheld
feom publication. This remark applies to
the following extract from characteristic
letter from Mr.. Cassius M. Clay, giving an
account of bis interview with the Emperor
of Russia:
He 1.-THE Emperor asked me what late ad.
vices had; and when told him how many of
the border slave States were standing by the
Union, he expressed great satisfaction. rs
wanted to know if, l thought England would
interfere. / told him we did not care what
she did: that her interference would tend to
unite rs the more; that we fought the South
with reluctance; we were much intermarried
and of q common history; but that the course
of England had aroused our sensibilitles to-
ward her tn no very pleasant manner. The
Emperor seemed to like my defiance of
old John Bull very much. He wanted to know
if was relation of Henry Clay. and that I
wore the uniform of an American Colonel,
which rank had filed in my own country.
This is pleasant gossip, and interesting
information enough to warrant or excuse
it's communication to the Secretary of
State; but its publication is not like.

into view-no more perhaps by sour good
friend" the Gear than by "John Bull"

The German Patriots Of East Ten.
nesSees


Two.thirds of the patriots of East Ten.
nessee are Germans, as we learn from very
good authority, says the Indianapolis Free
Presse. This is fact to which but as yet
but little attention has been paid by news,
papers. The chief seat of those German
patriots is Wartburg, colony commenced
by German Protestants about fifteen years
ago. A portion of those settlers come
from the German settlement of Walhalla,
in the mountaino section of South Caro-.
lima, led by minister, who at this time is
inspiring the Germans of East Tennessee
with patriotism by his own example. We
regret that we were not able to learn the
name of that excellent man. From Louis
lana, the immediate neighborhood of Wart.
burg received additional German settlers, a
few days ago. 1t may be safely asserted
that those Germans who have remained in
Walhalla, in South Carolina, are still cher
ishing sincere love to the Union, although
they are not allowed to express their opin,
ions.
The inhabitants of East Tennessee have
won for themselves world wide reputation,
by their firm patriotism, while the fact tina
Germans constitute so large portion of
those patriots has not been mentioned.

The New York Press on the ResiRna-
ton Of Seer etnry Cameron.

The New York Tribune rejects the idea
that Secretary Cameron was requested to
resign on account of bis views on the con-
traband question, but because, himself a
patriot he has been surrounded and pressed
upon by troops of noisy well~wishers, who
would have scorned the idea of selling their
God for thirty pieces of silver as long as
there was the faintest hope of making it
forty" The ISibume's Washington cores
pondent, on the contrary, attributes the
resignation to the radical anti,slavery views
of the Secretary. We quote:
1t is felt to be the solemn condemnation by
the administration and the regular army of the
policy of emancipation and arming the slaves
of the rebels SO strongly recommended in the
report of the Secretary of War. Senators saw
in it an open issue with the anti-slavery feeling
of the North and West. and shrank from the
prospect of evils SO suddenly opened to the
eyes of men already weary with watching this
war.
The Times correspondent says:
, The thing was wholly unexpected, and no
man was more surprised than Mr.. Cameron
himself. 1t seems that the change made is
wholly the work of the President. The first
agitation of the subject in the Presidents
mind occurred last Thursday. Yesterday he
had formed his conclusion, and addressed a
note to Mr.. Cameron last night, and was the
first intimation he had that change in the
Cabinet was determined on. 1t is needless to
deny that the War Minister was surprised and
agitated, but the President assured him of his
personal goodwill by the tender of the very
honorable position of Minister to Russia, in
place of Mr.. Clay, who has desired to be recall.
ed. We are not allowed to know the seasons
of the President for this change, but we can
safely venture the opinion that it results from
his conviction that the country desires, and has
long desired, change. 1t would be useless to
deny, also, that the President and his friends
felt that Mr.. Cameron has not been recently
sympathizing with the administration, but, on
the contrary, has been in active sympathy
with politicians in Washington who are zeal.
ously and bitterly opposed to the President
and his measures.
The Times editorially attributes the resig.
nation to difference with the President on
the slavery question and with Gen. McCle.
Ian about military matters. The Herald
and World devote their columns to bolster
ing up the waning fortunes of the house of
Cameron, end attribute the resignation to
the desire of the President to have first
class man at the Court of the Gar!

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM KENTUCKY.

Active operations in Kentucky have been
most gloriously ipaugurated, by the COM
plete defeat and death of ZoILICoFFER, and
the dispersion of his forces, and with the
loss of all their cannon, camp equipage and
stores. They retreated from their entrenched
camp towards Tennessee, and were vigor-
ously pursued by the Union troops. They
lost 275 men, in killed and wounded. The
effect Of this defeat, if it proves to be as
complete as represented. can hardly be
ver-estimated. 1t will inspirit our own
troops, and serve to render them invincible
against the rebel hordes, along the whole
line of operations from Kansas to Fortress
Monroe, and down to the coast to Texas,
and also have corresponding effect in de.
pressing the hopes of every traitor in arms.
The brave and loyal people of East Tennes-
see, whose sacrifices for the Union have been
greater than any other, will hail this vic.
tory as the signal for their emancipation.
BY letter in another place, from
our own correspondent, it will be seen that
the Minnesota Second was in the advance
towards ZoLL1coFFER, and we feel quite
sure that our brave boys participated in the
battle.
LATER.-The report of Zollicoders defeat
and death is fully confirmed. Zollicofer was
found mortally wounded in wagon. 1t
was Baillie Peyton, jr., who was killed. He
was attached to Zollicofer's staff. The
Second Minnesota was in the action. No
prominent officers of the Union troops were
killed.
John Tyler died at Richmond last Fri.
day night. By an inscrutable Providence,
be once occupied the Presidential chair.
-Burnside's expedition is the subject of
many rumors in the rebel papers. One says
it was at the mouth of Cape Fear river,
and another that it had taken possession of
Roanoke Island, and that two regiments of
rebel prisoners were captured.

that the army sent out under Sherman, and in.
