Joseph Wheeler, the most youthful Brigadier in
the Confederate service, has won undying honors
during the tendency of the great struggle in Middle
Tennessee. His name has appeared in nearly every
official dispatch the telegraph never omts the name
of Wheeler, and such has been his righteousness
and such the multiplicity of his daring deeds and
achievements that the reporters for the Press at
Murfreesboro have persistently asserted that For.

cranz, cutting off his supplies nnd communication
With Nashville Gen. Bragg, to very great ex-
tent, acribes the safety of our army on It's with
drawal from Kentucky to the energy, skill and
courage of Wheeler. When he visited the Presi-
dent at Richmond in order to make full exposi-
ton Of the events Of the Kentucky campaign, he
insisted that Wheeler should I've made Brigadier.
The President declined doing SO, stating that Nor

Second-That the administration in snspending
the writ Of habeas corpus in arresting private citi
zens and incarcerang them in bastlles, issuing the
proclamation of emancipation and in other instances
usurping power has violated the Constitution, in
frnged upon State sovereignty, and dsregarded the
popular wish. Its perversion Of the war into war
of abolition, deserves our unqualified reprObatio,
and justly entities it to the condemnation of all true
lovers of constitutional liberty and States rights.
Fifth-That peace, fraernal relations, and politi-
cal fellowship should be restored among the people
of the States, that the best interest Of ALL and the
welfare of mankind, demand this should be done in
the speediest and most effective manner.
Seventh-Favors national convention of all the
States at Louisville KY, at the earliest practicable
period, to adjust our national difficulties
Eight-Recommends that the Legislature now in
session appoint commissioners to said national
venton, aud invite other States to do SO.
Einth-That We earnestly recommend q cessation
of hostlities for such period may be necessary
to allow the people of the North and South to ex-
press through national convention, their wish for
peace and maintenance of tho Union as it was,
under the Constitution as it Is.
