immense meetings, and are confident Of
success.
There is much excitement in Tennessee,

initiate measures to divide the State into
East and West Tennessee.
General Butler has decided that negro
passengers on the daily line of steamers
plying between Washington City and
Fortress Monroe, must be allowed to eat
at the FIRST table" This is a fact. We
hope then that the General will not refuse
to allow white folks the poor privilege Of
waiting for the second table.
Lincoln & Co. are bound that Wash
ington shall be "safe," whether Richmond

arrangements to retain 10000 men to

Cost OF PunishIng Rebels.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Cons

statement" of the Federal and rebel losses
in killed, died, wounded and prisoners,
from the beginning Of the war up to Sep
tember /. 1854. The Federals have lost,
according to this estimate, 552,72O. The
rebels, BAT ,465. By this it appears that
the excess of Federal loss is 2O5,255.
Now, if it be true. as we have the very
highest authority for believing, that ''it is
better that ninety nine guilty men should

When Mr.. Long bad concluded

When Mr. Long bad concluded
Mr.. Garfield, Of Ohio, rose and severely
denounced the speech of his colleague. The
issue, he said, was now made up We should
use the common instruments Of war, and II
with these We should not succeed, be would
take means as he would against the savage
who attacked himself or family. BE would
resort 10 any element of destruction, and, if
necessary, he Would fling all eOHStitutiORdI
sanctions 10 the icinds rather than lose his
country
Mr.. Long had said that in a certain con-
tingency he was willing to recognizesouth-
ern independence, whereupon Mr.. Garfield
'rose and severely denounced him" In
the course Of his "severe" denunciations,
he said that in a certain contingency he
(Gar6eld) was ready to "Aing all consti-
tutional sanctions to the winds" Mr..
Long simply preferred Southern indepsnd-
ence to a war of subjugation and extsrmi-
nation upon the Southern people, but Mr..
Garfield was ready not only to Aing to the
winds the usages Of civilization but also
the sanctions of the Constitution. Under
thess circumstances, we should say that
the "pimps" who voted to censure Long
ought to have illuminated their consisten-
ey by passing 8 resolution Of thanks to
Garfield.
