TENNESSEE STATE CONVENTION.
CINcINSATI, Jan. IA.


The Commercial has special despatch
from Nashville, which says:
The Tennessee State Convention have
unanimously passed resolution declaring
slavery forever abolished, and prohibiting
it throughout the state.
The Convention also passed resolution
prohibiting the Legislature from recOgnis-
ing property in man, and forbidding it from
requiring compensation to be made to own
ers of slaves
A resolution was also adapted abrogating
the declaration Of state independence and
the military league made with the Confed-
crate States in 1851 also abrogating all
the laws and ordinances passed III pursu-
ance thereof
All the officers appointed by the acting
Governor since his accession to Office were
confirmed.
The propositions Of the Convention are
to be submitted to the people for ratification
on the 22d of February, and on the 4th OF
March an election is to be held for govern
or and members of the Legislature.
Nearly three hundred dele atcs partlcl-
pated in the proceedings Of the Convention,
and the greatest harmony and good feeling
prevailed.
Parson Brownlow is the unanimous choice
at the Convention for Governor.

glorious to devote our means to our success than
to lose them as spoils to the enemy. Our stua-
ton, too, stripped of property, but master of
despoiled by the enemy and wearing his bonds
These views have long received the theoretical as
sent of our people.
""They are now our practical realizing convic-
ton. thousand prejudices, IA thousand concen-
trated dogmas, now ready to be yielded at the
bidding of necessity. Any sacrifice of opinion,
any sacrifice of property, any surrender OF preJu-
dice, if necessary to defeat our enemies, Is now
the watchword and reply Subjugation is horror
that embraces all other horrors, and adds enor-
nous calamities to its own. The people see this.
They have vivid perception of it. They are
ready on their part for the duties which in i'm
plies.
% If we have given to our contemporary broader
Interpretation than the writer designed we do not
believe we have misrepresented the determination
of our people. The consequences OF emanclpa-
ton would fall upon the unfortunate negro, and
God would hold responsible those who had forced
upon the act 1t is of necessity, not choice.
An act taken against our Judgment and our eonvic-
tons, but to us from the horrors of a prolon-
ged and the disgrace, ruin and destruction in
volved in the success of our country.
g If France and England 1cW enter Into a treaty
irH these Confederate States, recognizing natiOnd-
iy and g,,drTnying independence upon the dboi-
ton Of sdrery ia al these states, rather than continue
the should be prepared TO urge The measures u-
on or readerS. We beleue such proposition ,cOud
be fdr0rdby receced and acted apo" by those ndtions
and ii ought to be made to them"

Gen. Thomas in dispatch, dated Dec
%, says: From the best information have
at this time, Hoods losses, since he invaded
the State Of Tennessee, sum up as follows:
Six general officers killed, six wounded
and one taken prisoner at Fraeklin-thir-
teen in all; and about six thousand men
killed, wounded and taken prisoners at the
same battle. On the 9th inst, at Murfrecs-
borough, he had one general officer woun-
ded, about one thousand men killed and
wounded and two hundred and seven taken
prisoners, and losing two pieces of artill-
cry. In the two battles Of the 18th and 10th
inst, before Nashville, he had one lieuten-
ant general severely wounded, one major
general and three rigadier-generals with
four thousand four hundred and siXty-two
officers and men made prisoners, besides
losing ffty-three pieces of artillery and
over three thousand stand of small arms.
During his retreat we have captured fifteen
more guns, and from fifteen hundred to two
thousand prisoners, and large numb of
small arms have been picked up by the
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-01-19

HANGMAN FoOTE.-Ths notorious busy
body, has, it appears, got into trouble at
Richmond. In fact, getting into difficulties
appears to be a cronic complaint with him.
The report is, that while making his way
North, he was arrested by rebel cavalry, a
few miles below Alexandria, and taken back
to Richmond Mrs FooTE was allowed to
come North, and was met at Alexandria,
and escorted to Washington by Secretary
SEWARD. Also, that the Government, (Which
we suppose means Secretary SEwARD) has
given notice that it will retaliate upon
rebel prisoners of high rank in our hands
for any punishment which may be inflicted
upon Mr.. FooTE by the Richmond govern
ment.
We have no fault to find with Secretary
SEwARD's gallantry but we submit that
any sympathy extended to Mr.. FooTE is
entirely misplaced. His performances are
not of the slightest consequence, and have
no political significance whatever. JEFF.
DAVIS would undoubtedly be glad to get
rid of him, as disagreeable, uneasy man,
who is always kicking up a muss" with
somebody. Our authorities would do them,
selves credit, if they would send him back
to Dixie, should he ever succeed in getting
within the Union lines.

FREE MIssoURI.-Missouri has wheeled
Constitutional Convention have passed an
ordinance to abolish slavery hencefOrth
and forever, the law to take effect at once.
The vote stood, so for Freedom and for
Slavery Soon, one by one, we hope to
know that the remaining States that have
given their support to this heinous rebell-
ion have returned to their first love with
not a stain Of degrading and defacing
slavery on their garments. This great re-
suit will complete the hope and realization
of the Union. Maryland and Missouri
hereafter will be twin sisters, going hand
i'll hand, living examples to their sister
erring States, and by their self devoted
acts eIevating themselves to eminent posi-
tions among the free States of our glorious
old Confcderacy
Thus one by one the props are falling,
the arguments of the opposition are being
flung back into their own faccs-thc world
moves and freedom reigns
simultaneously with this action in Mis-
souri, we find two other States moving
The Kentucky Legislature has passed
resolutions i'll favor of emancipation, thus
committing that State in favor of freedom,
and initiating a new regime in the home of
Henry Clay \ State Convention has also
met i'll Tennessee, and adopted measures
for reorganizing the civil government of
that State on free and loyal basis
Emancipation, although it may be delayed
in these two States, is now rendered GER
tain, and thus we have two more zee States
assured to us making the number twenty
five. Louisiana and Colorado will give us
twenty-seven. Delewarc, Arkansas and
Nebraska would raise the number to thir-
ty, which we shall reach before the rebel
States resume their allegiance, unless they
hurry about it,
