Her people can no longer eid the neE go7crn-
ment in the capacity Of sovereign STATE

and men they cannot send, for The armies of
Halleck and the tlotil1a Of Davis encompass
them in irresistible force. The flag Elhe union

rulers within her limits, the rapid liberation
Of the parole Of all Tennessee prisoners, civil
and military, whose detention is continued on
purely political grounds and the aaisfortuncs
Of war.
