GOV. IOhnson's speech on Saturday
Night.

NlNnNs
In the course Of his remarks to the
large impromptu outpouring Of the loyal
citizens which assembled on Saturday
night at the Capitol, TO reioic, over the
fall Of Fort Sumter, Gov. johnson said
that the heart of the masses of the peo-
pie beat strongly for freedom, that the
system Of negro slavery had proved bale
ful 70 the nation by Arrayibg itself
against the institutions and interests Of
the people, and that the time had clearly
come when means should be devised for
its total eradication from Tennessee.
Slavery was a cancer on our society and
the scalpel Of the statesman should be
used not simply to pare away the exte'
TiOr and leave the roots TO propagate the
disease anew, but 10 remove i, altogeth-
er. Let US destroy the cause Of our do
nestle discussions and this bloody civil
war. 1t is neither wise nor just TO COM
promise with an evil SO gigantic He
aVowed himself unequivocAlly for the re-
moval Of slavery; the sooner it can
be effected the better. Some in
conveniences might, most likely would
follow, temporarily, but these would be
more than compensated, by the grand
impulse given ID all our interests by the
substitution Of free for slave labor He
was for immediate emancipation, it he
could get it, if this could not be obtained
he was for gradual emancipation; but
emancipation at all events. He thought
that the benefits of gradual emancipation,
were good deal like the benefits con-
ferred on the dog in the fable, whose tail
was cut off an inch at time by
humane surgeon, whose kindness of heart
would not permit him to remove it at ono
stroke. He believed slavery was q curse
and he wanted to see IT wiped out with
out delay. We would be stronger, richer,
happier and more prosperous, as soon as
this was done.
He invoked the people to cast of the
slavish fear which had hitherto sealed
their lips on this question, and speak
and act henoeforth as freemen should.
The slave aristOcracy had long held its
foot upon their necks, and exacted
heavy tribute from them, even to robbing
them of free speech. Let the era
of freedom be henceforth proclaimed to
the n-slAveholders of Tennessee
The speech of the Governor, Of which
the above is of course, very imperfect
sketch, was enthusiastically applauded
from time to time, by the very large
crowd assembled on the occasion.

Startling q aud.

We were informed the other day that
a fraud has been perpetrated by certain
cotton buyers operating in this depart
ment which, If it be correctly reported,
ought to send the guilty parties to the
penitentiary. 1t appears that notes of
the denomination of 500 and $1,000 on
the State Bank of Tennessee have been
paid out for cotton, which were subse-
quently brought by the sellers to this
city and offered. An examination of the
notes by an officer of the Bank proved
the startling fact that the notes had been
printed from genuine plates, but that the
signatures '0eye toryeyiss The plates then
must be in the possession of parties in
terested in cotton buying. Who are these
parties ? If the plates are out of course
an unlimited quantity of these danger
Gus issues can be imposed upon the
community. Let all be on the alert to
guard themselves against q swindle
which is in its very nature 80 very diff
cult of detection. II would be well to
refuse all ne,o issues of the Bank of
Tennessee. The secret history of the
cotton trade in Tennessee would, if a
1.-THE of what we hear be true, make the
heroes of NewgAte ashamed of them
selves, And we guessit will be written,
much to the discomfort ofcertain parties,
who are very loud st present on the SUBJ

the rebellion is crushed; that the draft

is wanted now is an amnesty.
