PosTPoEEMEET OF THE NATIONAL ooNvEN-
TIoN.
The proposition for the postponement Of
the National Union Convention is meeting
with general favor on all sides. The
leading friends of the President favor it,
and it is believed that the President him
self would be satisfied with such an ar
rangement. It is desirable that there
should be no dissentions in the Union par
ty, and tois is believed to be the best plan
to harmonic conflicting views.

popular delusion only, that classes the
inhabitants Of this country, eounterparts
Of the sturdy, energetic New Englanders.
The same reckless supineness exists here,
but perhaps blended with more character,

bility to procure seed grain now appears to
be serious impediment to agriculture.
This however, ,Ivill soon be obviated, by re-
lief associations, if the people should in
dustriously, commence preparing their
lands to receive il, but their inclination in
that direction seems not to be prompted to
activity by starvation that grimly stsres
them in the face. II all the tillable land
is not cultivated this year, want will be no
stranger in East Tennessee for two to come.
