expressly delegated to the United Sta

10 of the amendments to the eonstitu-
ton re-asserts the substance Of this

declared solemnE to be a perpetual

derived. and that therefore the Federal
government is not sovereign but
dependent power: that it is the creature
of the states; that it has none but del
egated powers; that in the Federal
Constitution they are d.nominated
delegated powers" and that delegated

been extendedr 70 the lst July, 1865. Such q
bill passed the House, but has not been acted
upon by the Senate, and we understand meets
but little favor in that body, and the proba-

therefore, holding cold ISSUE will look to

positary and get a certificate Of deposite. =

The Fight near Franklin.

The Lynchburg Yirginian is of opinion
that the accounts published in the Northern
papers ofthe fight q Franklin, are untrue,
That paper says 1--WE have no doubt that
Cheatham and Lee achieved victory over
the enemy. The Yankees admit that our men
fought with desperation and that their troops
fell back to within three miles of Nashville;
or, in other words, to their intrenchments.-
This was strange course for victorious ar
my to pursue. They admit too, that Hood
seems to be making for Mnrfreesboro', on the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, which
will cut of all communication with Knoxville,
and SO far as we can see, will compel the en-
envy to eyacuate the whole Of East Tennessee.
While Breckenridge is pressing them closely
east of that point, Hood is menacings their
communications west Of Knoxville, which
may and most probably will, tend to the
result just indicated. Should Hood be suc-
cessful, ofswhich there seems to be every rea-
sonable prospect, East Tennessee viii be
wholly untenable for the enemy and then. no!
for kentucky. The status. in that quarter. Of
the first year Of the war, is likely to be res
tored; SO that our communications with Ten
nessee will again be uninterrupted and Ken
lucky at our feet. The experience which
that State has had Of the Lincoln despotism
has served to ripen it for revolt, and wehave
little doubt that an army sent into Kentucky
under the gallant Breckenridge would meet
welcome never before extended to Com
!federate army. Let the Georgians take care
of Sherman and we shall soon see d state Of
things in Kentucky end Tennessee that viii
encourage and gladden. theheart Of every true,
