UNION FEELING IN TENNESSEE.

One Of the editors of the N Y. Times,
who is native Of Tennessee, has just re-
turned from q visit to that state, and gives
highly favorable account of the general
feeling there for return to the Union.
He has no doubt that if the president
would withdraw the military government,
and call on the people to reorganize their
state government and elect members of
Congress, promising them that if they do
this in good faith he will proclaim an
amnesty and exemption from the confs-
cation act, they will respond at once and
will show cheerful and steadfast loyalty
hereafter, that will amaze the country
The county more especially canvassed by
the editor of the Times was one of the
three counties of the state that gave a
majority for secession, and has never been
occupied by Union troops; the state of
feeling there is therefore the more remark
able. He found that the men who had
been leaders in secession, and some of
whom have served as officers in the rebel
army, were going forward to take the oath
of allegiance, and were organizing to
drive out the rebel guerrillas, and he
thinks the Tennesseeans would soon ac-
complish this if they were provided with
arms. They say frankly that they were
for secession, but having appealed to arms
and lost, they do not think it right to
continue the contest and intend in good
faith to submit to the constitution and
laws. Even those who were the most de-
termined secessionists confess that the
cause of the coufederacy is hopelessly lost,
and the only question agitated by them is
whether they shall make the first move
ment for return to the Union or wait for
overtures from the general government.
Most remarka, lie of all is the change
of opinion that has been produced in Ten,
nessee in regard to slavery. Some prom
inent shareholders were found who ex.
pressed regret that the president had
excepted Tennessee from the action of the
emancipation proclamation. All parties
there admit that slavery has been destroy
ed by the war, and their chief anxiety is
as to what shall be done with the blacks,
as they want to see Tennessee occupied by
white laborers, and say that this change
will soon repay the state for all the loss
es by emancipation aud the war. 1t is
not yet true, however, that the majority
of the people of Tennessee have become
anti slavery in opinion. But they are in
process of conversion, and the president e

@-Admiral Porter, with his feet of gun
boats, is at length below Vicksburg. If
reports are correct he has made a much
more successful passage than he anticipa-
ted. What his purpose is we do not know,
but it is safe to assume that important
movements of Grants army will follow
this passage of the fleet. 1t is certain that
one great advantage will follow, if nothing
else does. The means of succoring either
Vicksburg or Port Hudson from the west
bank of the Mississippi will at once be cut
off effectually. Red river may be cleared
out and all the transports which the rebels
may have gathered there will be either de-
stroyed or captured. But although these
results are likely to follow directly and
certainly, it is probable that other more
decisive action is purposed in which both
the army and navy will unitedly perform
their share. What this action will be and
where the blow will fall, if fall it does.

PARTISAN FORGERIEs,-The following
forgery processes to be an extract from the
speech made by Mr.. Webster i'm the U. s,
Senate on the 18th of March, 1850. There is
not paragraph in that speech which even

will override the Constitution, set the Su-
preme Court at defiance. change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands

finally bankrupt the country and deluge 1t

1928, 1876, 1872, bearing interest averaging
three and one-third per cent, upon the

seven and three-tenths per cent. These
figures are not particularly startling-not

THE ''NIGGERs" WON'T FIGHT!-Among
the recent dispatches from New Orleans
there is one which reads as follows:
"Col. Daniels, with $50 colored troops.
went to Pascagoula, Miss, and captured
that place. He was subsequently attacked
by 800 rebel cavalry and infantry. Twenty
rebels were killed and large number
wounded. The rebels then retreated. leay-
ing their colors behind"
When we reflect that, according to their
own report, these three hundred rebels
were equal to fifteen hundred Northern
white men, and then that they were actu-
ally repulsed and driven off with serious
loss by only one hundred and eighty of
these miserable Triggers" it really seems.
according to their own logic and our
arithmetic, that the ''nigger" will not only
fight. but that he plays that game a little
better than the Southern cavalier him
self. Isn't it about time to quit denoun-
cling the poor darkies as towards? Don't
they whip the "chivalry'' every time they
meet them? We really are unable to see
how they can do more than that.

THE FRENCH IN MExICo.-If the report
we published yesterday, that the French
army had been repulsed before Puebla, be
true, as we trust It's, we think it will be
highly gratifying to most people in this
country. The wanton invasion of Mexico,
without the slightest pretense of justi6ca-
ton on the part of the invaders, deserves
a signal punishment. 1t would never
have occurred but for the deplorable civil
war in which we are now engaged. It's OBJ
siect was as much to injure us and our in
situations, as to acquire immediate and alb
solute control of our sister republic. 1t
will fill us with delight therefore, to learn
that, after this long preparation and con-
centration of all their resources, the army
of the Emperor is at last beaten back, and
disgraced by disastrous defeat. The
wrong doors merit all the bad fortune that
can be heaped upon them. Its reaction in
France aron't hurt as. If it reaches as high
as it's ruler, and tumbles him from his seat
of usurped power, it will not displease us
in the least. In fact, we rather hope it will.
&ss Fighting seems to be the order of
the day, just now, all round the board. On
Yorktown peninsula, on the Norfolk side
Of James river, in North Carolina, in the
vicinity Of New Orleans, in Tennessee, and
perhaps elsewhere, the movements and
maneuvers Of opposing forces, the prelimi-
nary steps towards the Spring campaign
appear to be making. How these opening
steps are to affect the future of our great
armies, we caiinot say. But it is evident
that both sides are preparing for heavy
blows, and that we may look for stirring
events. We hope for the best results for
our armies and consequently for the coun-
try. We feel much confidence in Rose
Grams, Hooker and Burnside. When they
move, something will happen. We can
only hope that their action may be wise,
energetic and successful. But whether it is
or is not we must still stand up to the work
before us, until the country is at last saved
and treason and foul revolt entirely sup
pressed.

the Democrats. Gold has fallen on the
strength of the Republican success, OBJ
tanned no doubt by bribery, and the hopes
which rested on the triumph of Seymour
have fallen to the ground. The impor-
lance of this defeat of the Democracy can
not well be exaggerated; for if the result
had been otherwise the Northwest would
have risen; the peace party would have
been organized on permanent basis; the
next meeting of Congress would have been
followed by summary abrogation of the
imperial powers bestowed upon Lincoln by
the Abolition Congress just ended, and Il
cession of hostilities might have been con-
fidently looked for at Or before the close of
the present year. No wonder Lincoln
threw the whole weight of his immense
patronage in favor OF Buckingham. We
may be sure that greenbacks were scattered
broadcast throughout the State; that the
enormous enginery of corruption in the
hands of the Dictator and his minions was
brought to bear with irresistible force
against the "copperheads." Lincoln has
