Tennessee a Free State.

The Nashville Times of the 9Th, con-
tains the proclamation Of Governor John
son, announcing that enough is ascer-
tanned to place the result of the vote on
the Free State Constitution bevond all
doubt, and to justify the official an
nouncement that the amendments are
adopted by tho people. The amendments
now constitute part of the permanent
Constitution and supreme law Of the
State.
The proclamation ssys:-A new era
dawns on the people of Tennessee. BY
their solemn act, the shsckles are struck
from the limbs OF more that two hundred
aud seventy-fye thousand slave. The
whole social sys.emis reconstructed on
the basis Of honest industry and personal
worth. Intelligent enterprise and free
labor are alone wanted to clothe the State
With a richness and beauty surpassed by
none pf her sisters.

AS far rs wa can judge, everything is
progressing favorably. Sherman's troops
care marching on, glory hallelujahl''
while the rebel forces evscuate at their
approach. Orangeburg, Aiken, DC, are
towns of the very cream of slave aristoc-
racy, and along the line Of the Charles
ton and Augusta, Ca, and Columbia s.
O., railroads, the heavy slave owners
reside. Foraging must be good, and
negroes plenty. Hamburg, said to be in
our possession, is close by Augusta, both
being close to the Carolina and Georgia
line, Augusta being in Georgia and Ham
burg in S. Carolina.
1t is probable that the rumors as to
Leo's"last ditch" plants correct. Aban-
doning the Atlantic coast is but making a
virtue Of necessity, and the result of the
peace negotiations renders it necessary
to make one more stand, when the con.
tingency referred to in rebel Judge
Campbell's letter--"the defeat of our
(rebel) armies will pave the way to
peace.
That the rebel masses believe their
cause worse than desperate, is evident by
the attempts at Richmond, lately, to fire
the Southern heart; that the rebel SOL
diers consider the Confederacy about
"played out" is certain, for we have it
from the lips of one just from Petersburg
front that the rebel pickets daily admit
the fact that they are whipped. That
there must be more hard fighting there
can be but little doubt, for the fortunes
of war are tickle, accidents in war turn
the scale often, and the most momentu-
GUS events have hung upon an hours
delay, and Lee will take one more OF
these chances, at the least.
Everything, however, looks stirring
and events of deepest Importance hang
upon the daily movements of our troops.

Wood as Fuel.

How to preserve wood for fuel is the
great desideratum, so as to have it In
lperpetuity. By thinning out the thrifty
trees, by allowing the cattle to run al
large, nipping every young twig lately
sprung from the germ, and leaving it to
be overrun with weeds and wild grass, the
patch ofwoods quickly goes to destruc-
tion and it only remains question Of time
when the last tree will be exterminated.
the plan that | would Recommend is that
every farm ought to have wood reser-
We OF at least twenty acres. Fence the
same; let the proprietor pass Medo-Per-
sian law, which altereth not, that no cat
tie shall not enter therein to destroy the
young growth that will spring up.
Commence cutting your fire wood on
the east side, cutting all the large trees,
and leaving only those that you wish to
be the progenitors of the future growth.
In autumn the north west winds are
prevalent at that period Of the year,
would scatter the seeds with liberal
hand. Falling among the brush and
chips of the previous years operation
having good seed bed prepared by ma
ture-they would come up spontaneous
| ly in the spring, and in the course of Eve
or six years they would be so thick as to
need no little skill in thinning and prun-
ing them, so that when they come to
maturity they would resemble our ancient
forests. A vice selection should be
made d young wood to be left for fuel
and mechanical purposes; say that a
quarter of an acre would furnish any
farmhouse in fuel for one year; SO, upon
that calculation it would take eighty
years going over the wood reserve. Then
you might commence aud go through the
same process, for the timber will be large
enough. By adopting some such method
you would have wood in perpetuity.-

General Cox is temporarily in command

surato in strength with the great impor-
lance of this newly acquired post. 1t is
expected that communication will be
opened With General sherman's forces by
means OF scouts before the week is out.
From the contents of late exchanges
found in the Journal Office, and from in
formation in the possession of citizens, it
seems certain that the plan of the rebels
for The spring campain, is to mass all
their available force in two armies, one
at point where Sherman and Schofleld
will both be confronted and temporarily
checked; the other under Lee to check

of the war.
The following rebel losses in tie late
operations have been ascegtained: Eve

slant flank movements accounts for the
little fighting.
