SENATB.-Mr. Brown of Wells introduced a
resolution demanding tba: Congress shall pro-
vide for convention of all the States; that in
the event Of the present Congress failing to
provide for such convention, the State of Indi.
ana will invite every State in the Federal On.
ion, including the so called Confederate States,
to meet delegates from the State of Indiaua in
convention at Nashville, Tennessee. ON the lat
Of June, 1868; each State to send as many del.
egates to said convention as shall equal the
number of Senators and Representatives to
which each State is entitled in the Congress of
the United States, and provide for the election
Of delegates to said convention from Indiana.

delegates to have Sc. 00 per day and mileage out

The above comes to US by telegraph. Nash
vile has had quite enough of treason enacted
within her limits in the last two years, and
desires no more, and God being willing, in.
tends to submit to No more.
Now let Mr.. Brown, Of Wells, and his COP.
perhead brothers, come on to Nashville on the
1st of June, 1868. Let them meet here a.
Representatives, such fellows as VsllsndipS

nsndo Wood. Isham G. Harris, Sterling Price,
Benjamin, Toombs, Cobb, Rhett; in short, in.
vite the Richmond Congress. This last could
be safely done without serious damage to the no.
liticsl reputation Of the whole body, and would
only be An addition in numbers and talent, not
treason or political mesnnsss. Let them al
come, We have several regiments of loyal East
Tennesseeans here just now, that would be glad
to meet such an assembly, as would the Union

pertv pilaged, their farms robbed, their homes
desolated, their friends sent off to Southern
prisons, where they now languish and die, fed
upon rotten pork Many OF their companions
died while wandering through the mountains,
going into K 'ntucky, many hung upon railroad
lines to be seen by passengers, themselves pro-
scribed and exiled, never again to see their
mountain homes, save by the success Of the
Federal arms, or some such ignomiuious con-
tIivance, as this conveAtion could effect-terma
that no man sho had one particle of self respect
could accept. Rather than such terms, better
far, would be social and political bell. Come
on, gentleman, these men would be in good
mood to entertain you at the capitol Of the
