The result of the Baltimore Convention
I gives universal satisfaction It Ia scarcely
necessary to say that here, as elsewhere, tht
sentiment OF the Union party favored tht
reelection Of Mr.. lincoln; and while loval
Tepnesseeans favored Gov. johnson for the
Vice Presidency to map, they fear that he
viii net be successful, because OF the fact
that Tennessee is rebel State On the
morning following the announcement Of the
ticket, Was sitting at table In my board.
Ing house, surrounded by about q dozen
East Tennssseeans, formerly refugees, but
who are now employed in business here, !
have seen enthusiasm before, but these men
were certainly elated to degree til It puts
ordinary enthusiasm in the shade They d;
euFed me that East Tennessee, including its
toldters, would give at least 40,009 votes for
| Lincoln and johnson.
| Night before last the Governor was sere-
naded at the st. Cloud, and made hand
-seme speech, one that would htve been re-
gaided as decidedly. too radical by most Re-
P1blcans, even in New England or Northern
ed ty hundreds Of Tennesseeaus, who en-
dorsed every ntterauce and applau1ed every
sentiment What change! and ali the re-
suit Of. the insatiety Of the shareholders
themselves, who were not satisfied with q
protection which no other nation claiming
to he Christian would eyer have accorded.
RECONSTRUCTION.
But little has been done In the way of re-
constructing the State government; but I
pr sume now the work will 60 on with con
siderable CELEBRITY. hope to see a constitu-
t6n prohibiting slavery, In full force, in this
State, by October next, 1t will be proud
day for Tennessee, when, uushacklel, It can
start forward on the road to prosperity,
wealth and intelligence.
There is no State In the Union hlch Dos
sessee greater natural advantages; Its mo1u-
tains ore full Of minerals and especially of
that most Invaluable article-coai; its soil.
In the level sections Of the State, is unsur-
passed; Its forests abound in valuable tim
Der; Its streams contain waterfalls enongll
to run nll the manufacturing establishments
ofErgland; its mountain sides could be con
VeEted into better than Trans-Rhcnic vine
yards; and Ill that is needed fully to develop
these lnexhaustlble resources, Is free labor,
and Intelligent aud soil owning laborers.
When, oh when, shall We make start in th,
nigh road to wealth and greatness?
IMMIGRATION.
The towns III this State are beginning to
I'LL up with Northern men but they come
cautiously, md prepared to leave, unless af.
fairs are settled to their liking. But have
the first Of tDese men to find who would re-
turn North il the political nnd soctal coudi-
tlon OF the Slate were once settled in favor
OF freedom. Very few farmers hnve mlgra-
ted here, because Of the depredations Of
eucrillas; but those who are here nre max
Ing fortunes. Every one who ralbes. crop
will realize S100 to The acre, at least.
WOUNDED ARRIVING.
Aconsidcrablc numb er of wounded arrive
With cvcry train from the front. They fall
In the varions skirmishes which take place
between pickets and advance guards.
NOTHING NEW,

'front.'. The rebels are apparently preparing

to give them the benefit Of it to give them
