NASHVILLE, Sept 2s.-Owing to the eu,,;ns
Of the telegraph wires, nothing has been heard

The rebel force. according TO the latest ad-
vices, had advanced their lines, preparatory
to an early attack on our troops To-day, the
fact of the wires being cut induces the belief
that there are parties Of rebels in the rear OF
Roseeau, for the wires on the Chattanooga line
were, at one time, all down at Tullahoma, but
nave since been repaired and working through.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY ON coERcIoN.

In answering questions proposed by De
Musnier, Jan. "a, 1856, about the powers Of
the Union under the articles of confederation
Thomas Jefferson holds the following Ian
guage:
at has often been said that the decisions OF
Congress are important, because the Conleder-
alton provides no compulsory power But
where two or more nations enter into com.
pact, it is not usual for them to say what shall
be done to the party who iUfringes it. De-
cency forbids this, and it is as unnecessary
as indecent 6ecause, the right of cOnpsEsion
naturally results to the party injured by the
b. each.
When any one State in the American
UniOn refuses obedience to the Constitution
by which they have bOuud themselves, the
rest have national right to compel them to
oOedience."-See JefersOn's Works Vol. 8.
page 29I.
Now how will Copperheads, who think they
are Jefferson Democrats, dispose of this truth,
and at the same time deny the Federal Gov
eFnmeDt the right to coerce States into ODE.
dience to the Constitution and the laws of
Congress ?-FTenont Journal.

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE.

The World recently figured the expenses OF
the present civil war up above fifteen hOMs-
and million Of dollars and added
This is the money expense of the country
for that equisite luxury,.a Black Republican
President. It may be very sweet and deli
cious, but can we afford it 2"
Whereupon, it will be recollected, we said ::
Let US understand this. Suppose your par
ty carries the election just before US, and ours
thereupon revolts, assumes to take eight or
ten Northern States ont Of the Union, and
commences a civil war, which lasts through
your Presidents term, costing the country as
much in blood and treasure as this war has
done, what party will be justly responsible
for the. cost of that warf And will such doiugs
prove that the country can't afford the luxury
OF Democratic President Let us see you
work your rules both ways?"
To this the World has failed to respond
We call its attention afresh to the matter and
solicit an answer. Shall we have it?-NesO
York Tribune.

Pendleton, the Chicago nominee for Vice
President, is a simon-pure Copperhead. His
votes in Congress will always be found recor-
ded side by side with Vallandigham, Harris
and Long, and with Breckenridge, Polk and
johnson until they went into the rebel army.
He was one of the the twenty-six who eudeav-
ored 20 prevent the Government from arrest
ing the rebel Baltimore Peace Commissioners
in 1861. At the commencement of the last
session Re voted for several propositions to
serd Peace Commissioners to Richmond, and
has done all in his power to embarrass the
prosecution OF the war for the Union. That
undisguised rebel sheet the New York News,
says that "he is the man of all men whom, had
the choice been its own, it would have select.
edr In his nomination, it declares "a tribute
has been worthily offered to the Peace senti-
ment, of which he has been the consistent
champion

ANOTHER BUrCHERY OF NEGRO TRooPs.-
The Louisville Journal has the following:
Jesse, the guerrilla leader, who aspires to the
rank of colonel, was almost deserted by his
band last week but twenty-five followers re-
maiued true to him. By some stragetic move
he has succeeded in being reinforced, and, at
the head of one hundred and fifty men, has
startled the public by bold and daring raid.
About eight o'clock on Monday evening he
appeared in Carroll county and pushed boldly
for the banks of the Ohio river When with
in few miles Of Ghent, be came upon squad
of thirteen negro soldiers, who were returning
from recruiting expedition into the country.
The negroes surrendered on the first demand,
and after being deprived of their arms, we're
placed in a row, and deliberately shot down
like wild beasts. Their crims wss in being
found dressed in the uniform ofa United States
soldier, and bearing arms to fight against the
Southern Confederacy.

1t is stated that Fort Sumpter is gradually
sinking beneath the waves of the ocean. Its
foundation is know to be sandy, and the con-
tinual vibrations to the superstructure by the
heavy firing from and against its walls has, as
it would seem, weakened its foundation to
such degree that the old fortification is GO
ing under and that soon the water will be
over her lower tier of guns. In all this the
ruined, battered, shattered, sinking Fort is an
apt emblem of the rebellion which was there
inaugurated The foundation OF the Confed-
eracy, being founded upon sand, is giving
away, and the whole concern will soon 60 un-
der along with the fort upon whose walls its
guns we're first opened. 4" So mote it be-"

A cnNEESsInn nE DESPAIR.

"In all probability the next sixty days will
in fact decide the contest"
Such is the language of the Richmond Ex-
aminer in speaking of the nomination of Nc
Clean. It is virtual confession that the
rebellion is near its close, and that if they on-
ly bold out till Mr.. Lincoln is defeated, their in
dependence is secured, but if be is reelected
the 'game is up" OF this there can be no
doubt If once Mr.. Lincoln is reelected,
peace will come in a few months. This con-
fession should encourage all loyal men and
prove to them that the very shortest road to
peace is by keeping up an undivided North
The desperation with which the next sixty
days are to be contended is seen in the bar
barous recommendations Of the Richmond pa
pers, that the "siek and the lame, aud decrepit,
may take their stand in the breastwOrks to
advantage now" None but fends would urge
the dredging of hospitals for the sick and
lame and none but inen conscious that their
sun is soon to set n deep darkness would re-
commend so desperate measure
