The Constitution recently adopted by a
State Convention in Tennessee, and submitted
to vote of the people for ratification or re-
lection on the 22d of February, was adopted
by a vote nearly approaching unanimity.-
One feature of the new Constitution is clause
forever abolishing slavery, Gov. johnson has
issued proclamation announcing the ratifca-
tion of the Constitution, and proclaiming it
the fundamental law of the State. at the
same election tie noted rebel-hater, Parson
BRowNLow, was elected Governor. The
State Convention which framed the Constitu-
tion was irregular or seIfconstituted, but its
action reflected the sentiments of the loyal
people of the State, as is indicated by its over
whelming ratification, and it will in its essen
tial features doubtless remain the fundamental
law of the commonwealth.

TRE e0LuMBIA, s0uTH CAROLINA, RLusTEa.

In the light CT the fact that General Sher.
man has already taken possession of Colum-
bia, the following bluster from the Columbia
Guardian is amusing
Sherman, elated by his recent success, feels
confident of marching through South Carroll
ma. We are willing that be should hug the
delusion, as bis fall will be greater when his
disgrace comes upon him. We, too, indulge
in feeling of confidence in our strength, based
upon far different and much better grounds
Sherman's army entered this State with threats
openly, defanty made, of the vengeance
which should mark his march through South
Carolina. We are not to be intimidnted by
the fulminations of the brutal fee, and we are
mistaken if South Carolina has forgotten how
to treat the insolenee Of such boaster.

On the 1st inst. the Congressional joint
committee, consisting of Mr.. TrumbulI OF
the Senate, and Messrs. Wilson and Daw-
son of the House, waited on President
Lincoln and officially notified him of his
reelection. The following is the response
of the President to the notification
"Haviug served four years in the depths of a
great and yet unerded national peril, 1 can
view this call to q second term in nowise more
fattering to myself than as an expression of
the public Judgment that may better fn-
ish difficult work in which have labored
from the FIRST than could any one less severe

Ter, who has so graciously sustained us thus
far and with increased gratitude to the gener-
GUS people for their continued confidence,
accent the renewed trust, with its yet onerous
and perpIexing duties and responsibilities.

From the dispatches we learn the manner in
which the noble-hearted chivalry ran away
They set FIRE to the upper of the eity-that
part, namely, which was farthest away from
the Union cannon; they under took to burn
up some cotton; then they got out of the way,
leaving behind only crowd of ofdefeneeless wo-
men and children of the poor. The wealthy,
the chivalry, the nobleminded Yankee-scorners,
ran away, and left their poorer companions to
their fate in the midst of burning city, at
the mercy of an enemy whom they have al
ways spoken of as most barbarous and inhu-
man. The terror of the South Carolina chiv-
airy must have been intense when they thus
shamelessly 1ed.-N Y. EUening Post.

The rebel leaders have affected to re-
holds, the successful defense of which
they had previously declared of vital i'm
portance to their final success, as matters
of little consequence, and indeed have
even claimed that these losses have add
ed to their strength, by leaving fewer
places to defend. and thus enabling them
to concentrate their forces. At the late
war meeting in Richmond several of the
speakers from the Gulf States spoke of
the possible abandonment of Richmond,
and as usual insisted that if the city was
abandoned it would not weaken their
cause; and Davis, in his last message to
the rebel Congress, declared that if com
PEELED to evacuate Richmond, the Con-
federacy would remain as defiant as ever.
The Richmond Enquirer very properly
regards the matter in different light
Speaking of the possibility of such evac-
uation in its issue of the 9th ult., it
says:
The evacuation of Richmond would be the
loss of all respect and authority toward the
Confederate Government, the disiutegration of
the army and abandonment of the scheme of
an Independent Southern Confederacy. The
withdrawal of the army from Richmond would
so narrow the area of conscription as TO great
ly reduce our military strength. As our ar
my would dwindle in numbers, it would move
more rapidly westward, and before reaching
the Mississippi would have degenerated into
mere body guard Of few officials. From the
hour of giving up the seat of Government our
cause would sink into mere rebellion in the
estimation of foreign powers, who would cease
to accord to us the rights of beligerents, while
the enemy would be free to treat our officers
and soldiers as traitors and criminals. So
every rebel would fight thenceforward with
halter about his neck.

THE nLp ELAa oYER CHARLESTON.

A considerable part OF the notorious Last
Ditch" fell into our hands last Tuesday; and
to The surprise of our soldiers, and of the
world in general, neither Beauregard, nor
Pickens the Brave, nor Barnwell Rhett, nor
the writers of the Charleston Mercury, nor
in fact single one of the hundreds of Charles
ton "bloods,' who vowed to die in this part
of the Last Ditch performed according to
promise. The season of the year, Or the moist
ness of the ditch, or someting in the air, per-
haps, prevented them--for we, mere vulgar
Yankees, would not presume to hint that these
chivalric persons were only Dragging, and new
eF meant to make "demnition bodies" of them
selves at all, to use Mr.. Mantalini's phrase.
The rebels have run away in the night from
many places from Bowling Green from Fort
Donelson, from Nashville, from Columbus,
from Memphis, from Corinth, from New Or
leans, from Gettysburg, from Atlanta, from
Savannah. They have tried to run away
from some others, as Vicksburg and Port
Hudson. But they always solemuly vowed
not to leave Charleston; never never never
Nor would they have left it, 10 all likelihood,
had it not become dangerous to stay there
They may plead with some reason that, when
they selected Charleston as their favorte,, dying
place, their chosen part of the last ditch, they
did not know that Sherman was coming in
that direction.

A correspondent of the Providence Jour
nal, vouches for the efficacy Of ice, as a cure
for diptheria, Group, and all ordinary inhama-
tion of the throat The manner of applica-
tion is as follows
Break up a small lump of ice in towel
and put it in bowl. Take position slightly
inclined backwards, either in chair or on a
sofa. Proceed for half an hour with spoon
to feed yourself with small Jumps of ice, let
ting it dissolve slowly in the back par: of the
mouth or at the eDtraence of the throat. A
single such application win often break up
common sore throat, which otherwise would
have course of two or three days. In the
case of a bad sore throat, use the ice frequent
ly. In case of ulceraed diptheria, keep a
small lot Of ice constantly in the mouth
