NOTES OF TIE WAR.
The Northern papers laise something OF q
shout over the appointment of Andy John.
N as Brigadier General. aud his transfer
from the Senate to the position Of "Provi-
sional Military Governor" Of Tennessee
They seem to regard It ss fully .settled that
the people of Ten nessee will hall their new
"0overnor" with an enthnsiasm which NO
other man could command. In connection
with this appointment, the New York Herald
discusses old Abe's "Union policy as fol-
lows:
We think 1. very probable that one Of tho
immediate consequences OF this war Will be
An emancipation preseure upon the border
slave States, which will apidly cpeI ate to the
abolition OF slave cry therein; and by the action
OF these Sta.es them selves, In view OF the
changed condition OF things around tnem
Mary land, Virginia, Tennessee, Kenlucky, and
Missouri, with the restOrati oa OF the Unioa,
will, we think. lad 1t to their advan tage to
slough on this institution cf ala very quickly
rs possib e, consistent with the public tran
guilty. We think, too, that sucn will be the
course OF said States, with the issue tn their
hands; and The question should be left to
them, and to every other slHve State Of the
present day, as II was left originally to the
slave States OF New York. New Jersey Penn
eylvania, and others. This il the policy of
"Honest Abe LipcOip;' and as 1t has been

may venture the opinion that it will etill

complete restoration Of Tennessee to the

II ~
House OF Representatives by Sir. Stevens,

forty thousand dollars year in the form of
taxes for the support of the Government,
but facstiously remarks that this large sum
would be chesrfully paid, and hopes that the
bill may soon become law. The following
is a pleasing picture of the harmony existing
in the "happy family" Of New York jour-
nalists:
The Tribune states taat Its annual taxes
