Reading Matter ON Every rage.
EXTREME OF IMPUDESCE.


on of the late Memphis Argsss cansed its feto
de re, later still an editor ON the Apalane1s was
stopped from writing covert support Of the
rebel leaders as government; and the re-
manning acting editor, now an ostensible sra
ployee in the Bulletin, allowed his issusa to
stop when Provost Hillyer required an oath of
allegiance from all journalists in his district
We then supposed that the National Govern
men. would be free from insult by the future
press Of this city, and that the publication Of
treason in the very headquarters Of General
GRANT had cSme to an end.
To day we read upder repetition Of g sup-
posss,r q recognition Of the very right of Re-
bellion, an insinuation that this Nation win be
forced by outer powers TO recognize the dog
ma Of Secession, and endorse its own Cdisinte-
grationi Gould any greater and more delibl
crate insult be offered to the army nov here to
oppose such endorsement? Could any more
plain and open approval of the principles Of
this rebellion be printed .aeai e. 5sas.s
Read the insulting words whs may, what
man now in arms 70 vindicAts the sacredness
of the Union can find in them aught but en-
eoursgement to secession, and recognition Of
the pretended right thereof . 'l@
Suppose that they should say that each party
shall hold what they possess and that, in all
the disputed States, it shall be left to the peo-
pie to decide, by ballot, TO which side they
will adhere. We say, suppose the foreign
powers should intervene, and allow each
Southern State to elect 10 which Government
it would adhere, is there any doubt a. to the
course that Tennessee would pursues' sHsal
