trip to Paris, Tenn, by one of our reporters,
enables US to correct many of the rumors afioat,
and to give to the public the true state of affairs in
that section.
Y At Paris the citizens were aroused, and few
families had left, but not to the extent that has
been reported. A number Of negroes had also
been sent off. Business was, however, progressing
as usual and the inhabitants, after the first excite
ment caused by the reported approach Of the enc
my, resumed their usual avocations in confidence
that the military authorities at Bowling Green and
Columbus were equal to the emergency, and would
secure their beautiful town and the railroad
bridges from being taken possession of or de-
stroyed by the enemy
e Gen. B. @. Brown obligingly furnished us a letter
from gentleman who had been some days in posi-
ton to learn the movements of the Federal forces.
As we stated yesterday morning, on Sunday even
ing last Gen. Smith, with three regiments of infan
try and battalion of cavalry, was at Murray, aud
Gen. Wallace's brigade, with the artillery, was at
Mayfield Bad roads, and rise in Clark's river,
had prevented the latter from advancing, up to
2 O'Clock on Sunday.
train, two hundred and seventy-hge wagons, had
mred down, and the baggage, master was throwing
out many articles After leaving Mayfeld the
country was plnndered to supply the deficiency, by
taking food and forage indiscrinlinately. Money
and negroes We're also appropriated. The officers
and men generally stated the object Of the expe1
ton to be the capture of Fort Henry and the de-
structon Of the railroad bridge across the Tennes-
object might have been accomplished, as they
could have advanced more rapidly, and would at
that time have found the work comparatively un-
guarded. The delay to which they were subjected
has, however, afforded time TO render that impor-
tant point secure, and we presume it has been
done. If neglected, it is worse than imbecility on
the part of our Generals. a 5s5;s
This movement was supported by operations up
the river by portion Of the Federal fleet, consists
ing Of three gnnboats and a number of transports.
On Saturday morning twenty-five shots were fred
at the fort all of which fell short. The boats then
retired, but subsequently, landed about twenty-five
hundred troops at Agnew's ferry, twenty two miles
below the fort, and on the opposite side of the
river. The purpose Of this force was supposed to
be to cooperate with Gen. Smiths column in a land
attack, while the gunboats would attack upon the
river. g
The defenees Of the fort were completed and are
represented to be Of a very formidable character.
No information had been received by Gen. Tlgh-
man of any movement on the Cumberland to Fort
Donelson, although the enemy at May6eld.repre-
sented that one would be made.

4 THE SEA @RAM.--We were shown yesterday,

its inventor, John Cowdon, who has IT on exnipl-
ton in one of the committee rooms OF the State
House, where the curious may call to examine lis
peculiar claims upon our Legislature 1t has re-

ties on naval matters. lts;very. simplicity OF ar

the commonest understanding to appreciate its
novel merits. 1t seems to be indestructible and
vet yery destructive-in fact floating Gibraltar.
If the late Naval Bill had contemplated the con.
struction of war vessels on lCowdon's model, 1t
would have met better fate than that which now
consigns it to the rubbish of things that WERE"
If our Legislature should decline to take any steps
in behalf of this remarkable piece OF ingenuity,
we hope its inventor will obtain better reward for
ment. s.& Et
We take the above from the Baton Rouge Advo-
cate Of the 10th In the same paper we also notice
the report Of the Committee on Naval Affairs in
the Senate, which report, after an examination of
the model and drawings was favorable. We have
heard that the House Committee was likewise fav-
orably inclined to Mr.. Cowdons invention, but the
Legislature was so much occupied with the cotton
bin and other matters, nothing was done. The
construction of one or two Of these rams would
have done away with the necessity Of any relief
bills, 1t being the opinion of competent men that
they could destroy the entire blockadng feet, and
then commerce would resume its proper channels,
As the Legislature, for want Of time, failed to
give this enterprise the aid required it might not
be amiss for our city authorities to look into the
matter. The city has the means and the energy
to build three OF four such boats. The restoration
of its foreign to this port is matter of
such Importance that we cannot afford to neglect
any means by which that restoration may be eff

THE yETs1 MESSAGE.

u We present at length in another column, the
message of Gov. Moore TO the Haase Of Represen
atives, giving his ressons for Withholding his sig
nature to The g Act for the relief Of the cotton
planters ofthe State Of Louisiana"
AS the message will be universally read It is not
necessary that we should direct attention to it, or
review its premises, deductions and arguments.
Suffice it to say that We consider all good, and cor
dially approve Of the message as whole. The
constitutional points made By the Governor are
clear and and should satisfy the
warmest advocates of the measure that his motives
and Intentions were patriotic and pure. OF the
wisdom Of the decision to which he arrived we are
persuaded there viii be little or no disagreement
before the lapse Of many months--aye, before the
notes could have been possibly engraved, printed,
signed and formally issued. oaccomplst all TINS
would have required fully six months. The block
ade, in our confident belief, will be raised before
that time elapses, and if is the relief sought to
be obtained would not be touched by the cotton
planters with rty-foot pole. z
| Resides, there are insuperable objections to
any State turning banker The history Of the
past shows that the effects are Invariably in
iarious, Tie State becomes burthened with q
load of debt; the property Of all is mortgaged for
the benefit of d class and all experience demon
strates that the individuals Of q class receiving
sc relief are almost sure to be ruined in the long
run instead Of being generally relieved, they are
eventually bankrnpted such has uniformly been
tie case heretofore and when any State forsakes
the safe guides furnished BY the past and plunges
headlong into the future, without regard to chart
compass, or practical experience, she Is usually
brought up with ronnd turn, and finds herself in
solvent, when it was foolishiy supposed that she
/ was legislating the possession of untold riches.
/ Willis we commend the Governor for yetoing
4 this bill, we think, as we have all along thought
that the cotton planters are entitled tosreef bu1

A meeting Of the stockholders of the New or

Messrs. Chas, T. Pollard of Montgomery, James
Rsed Of New Orleans, R. R. Cuyler OF savannah
and James Tart Of Mobile, were delegated as q
committee to regain possession of the line which
anpears to be partly under the control OF citizens
residing in the Hessian aominions. Wetrust, if the
committee or directors do obtain possession, they
will instruct their employees (operators}, to be more
careful in the forwarding of information, great
share of the dispatches forwarded by somebody
being compound of nonsense and altogether uh-
reliable.
There were some adyices received from Liver

Middling Orleans cotton was quoted at i24d. inns
does not give much indication of the breaking up
of the blockade on The part of Great Britain.
Talking Of cotton brings up the following, which
appears in the New York Herald Of the 9th inst.
According to this many factories in New England
must have large stocks of cotton; much Larger
than has been expected; nevertheless, some Of the
Sea Island cotton recently stolen from the Carolina
coast has been sold in New York at sixty cents per
pound: .#ss
For instance, at Biddeford, Maine, the amount
Of cotton now held by the Laeonia corporation j
about 44oo bales, which, at the present rate 3 o.
/ consumption, will last upwards of two years. BY
! the sale Of cotton now held BY the Laconia cor
poration, the sum Of $25,Oe0 would be realized
| It is true there is disadvantage in suffering the
mills to lie idle, in consequence Of the rusting o.
the machinery, the difficulty of getting hands, ana
/ other matters attending upon reorganization; bu'
if the managers get s20,o0o or $40, 900 more 6y
selling their cotton than in working IT up the oil,
4 ference would still be in their favor. .a "a
The cotton mills in Lowell have supply Of cot,
! ton which will last them six months at present
prices. Considering the large supply IN the aggW.e W
gate, an enormous profit could be realized by the
Corporations, if they sold the material at present
| prices. The woolen mills are also well supplied
/ with material, and are turning out an immense
amount Of army work, such as stuff for overcoats

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE

4 The Legislature Of the State of Louisiana ad-
journed Thursday night last, OF aboutl2 O'clock
The last few days of the session were marked by
storms and exeitements, sof a somewhat extraor-
binary character, but which happily cooled down
towards its close. We trust the members parted as
well satisfied with each other as is usual on such
occasions. AT all events, the people are well
pleased at the adjournment, and we doubt not
would survive the inniction ifitwere ordered that
the late Legislature should never assemble again
We do not say this disrespectfully. Far from it.
The Two Houses Of the General Assembly, recently
adjourned, were composed Of good. wellmeaning,
and il many instances, Of able men, but they were
mostly new members, unused to legislation, and
unacauainted with the legislative history and re-
quirements Of the Commonwealth. That they
should fall into mistakes was most natural. Still,
We verify believe that If no Legislature should
meet IN ten years, that all debts would be paid,
ten million surplus would be in the Treasury, and
that the people Wonld be Immensely better Oft in
every conceivable particular. Our greatest curse
is our legislation. &G
The Delta Of yesterday evening speaks Of the
Legislature in this wise: III 5Iss sa.i - Ell
iii On the whole, the legislation has been very un-
satisfactory, and the General embly embracing
q great many very able, patriotic and capable gem
lemen, has proved for this session at least, to be
the most nharmonions and ineffective that has ever
been held in the State. Wo are not without the
hope, however, that when it assemblies again d
better spirit will prevail, and greater capacity
will be shown to discharge the important duties
which the Constitution imposes upon this body.
We rsecho the hope" aforesaid, and rather in
cline to the belief that g distance lends enchant-
ment to the view Nevertheless, notwthstand-
ing, Whereas etc, etc, it is some consolation to
know that the people cannot be pestered with
Legislation, good, bad Or Indifferent until after the
expiration Of q year. s
