session till Friday. Over five hundred delegates

Millgan and Trewhitt, Parson Brownlow, Gen.
Gilem. and many other men of note, were
delegates and Gov. Andrew Johnson, Vice

ycntion unanimously dccreed-
!. The abrogation and extinction o. the pre-
tended secession of Tennessee from the Union
in 1861, with the preparatory military league
made with the SHAREHOLDERS ConIederacy by
Gov Harris and majority of bis Legislature;
,. TIE Abolition Of slavery, instantly and
forever, throughout the State, without eompen'
saticn to the Shareholders;
?. 4 prohibition Of any future payment to or

GEN. DIx,s ORDER IN ENGLAND

Nothing could prove more cOnclusVely the
prodgious change which for some time has been
going on in the language of the anti-Ameriean
press of England, than their comments on the
order of General Dix. Who, after reading few
years ago all the British buster about tie cap
ture of Mason and Sidell, would have deemed
it possible that The London Times should. in
discussing such an order, refer in the following
terms to some Of the illustrious countrymen Of
the two Rebel commissioners, who, Ike them,
regarded themselves us fully secure under the
British flag The Times says:
Nobody can deny that most uDlustif1ble outrage
was Organized and peIpotrsted upon Americans fon
soil party of raiders. as the are mildly termed

Or who could have expected that The saa
paper would commend President LiDcolnfor his
frank and temperate Language on tile SUI.
j octl
Who that remembers the elamOr Of papers
like The London Post and London H.ofH Zoe
armed Intervention i'll favor Of the Soasa, ycali
have thought it possible that the former pspsf
should express a hope that "neither tho Eng
lish nor the Federals will allow themselyesto
be driven into unfriendly relations by the
bucaneering exploits Of a third party, whose Or
jeet is sufficiently manifest" and tha' ,"'
Herald, the most violent Of all the En,;.a.'
press should meekly remark: "We mus, TX
care to give them no reasonable ground ofpF'Hi'
cation, so that if war should commend
may be their fault and not ours"
In looking over all our English paper 80
find not one that ventures TO resort 10 thre,'h
ing language. Can the English SympatAizer'
with Rebellion themselves deny that their Or
gans would have spoken in a very different tons
three years ago. They have abandoned, it
seems. the aggressive attitude altogether, and
assumed the defensive. Instead OF discussing
whether there is sufficient reason for stopping
the war by interference and by recognition OF
the South, they now inquire whether the UIned
States intends to assume any hostile attitude
toward England.

According TO orr latest dates from Richmond
Mr.. Blair had reached that city, and had been
in communication with the head OF the Rebel
Government aud some other persons. OF the
result OF his mission nothing, Of course, had
transpired, and precious good care, doubtless
will DC taken that nothing shall, so long as the
Rebel authorities can prevent il. That
he will bring back any overtures Of
peace ia, probably, not expected by anybody;
neither Is there any reason for suppo.ing that
ho will bring with him any assurances from the
jeff. Davis Administration that any ovcrture7,
which the President would feel himseli author
lied to make, would receive a favorable recep-
ton from the Rebels in authority. The Rich
mond Enquirer, neverheless, Is seriously alarmed
that Mr. Blair sbouldSbe permitted even to
suggest negotiation. II evidently drcads the
influence that knowledge Of willingness on
our part to talk Of terms may have upon public
opinion NJ the South. JEFF. Davis may insist
upon Southern independence as q condition pre-
cedent to any negotiation; but there Is unQues-
tionably party, whether large or small, in the
Conicderacy, which moi only does not de-
mand independence as preliminary 10 peace,
bat does not want independence, aud il
willing to return TO its allegiance 10
The Union providing such terms are pre-
scented az Il thinks can DC honoraLly accepted.
How large and how strong this party Is, is the
essential question, and The Enq"ircr clearly has
some apprehension that it may be large enough
and strong enough TO overthrow The Davis
dynasty. Whether this fear be wel-ioundcd
we have not, as yet sufficient data TO decide;
but i; is certainly hopeful sign that the fear
exists among leading Rebels. As orr Pres
idcpt;al election decided that the Northern
Digunion party is in a hopeless minority, so a
pcaco movement started at the South may de-
eide that the desire TO end the war and return
TO the Union is stronger than Tie Rebellion.
Should that be tho case the days Of Rebel supre.
macy arc surely numbered. On the other hand
should it be clearly manifest that there Is no
Union patty at the South ready TO submit tosuch
terms only as the North can grant as the price
OF peace We shall have reached, at least, "a
new point Of departure" and orr own people
will be more determined than ever for vigorous
prosecution Of the wor-a prosecution so yigor-
Gus that tue war must be short Such q decision

armed rebels designated him as suitable man
for tho honor Of elector-at-large in the recent
presidential election, which duty formed the
closing act of his public political life.
1t is understood that Mr.. Everett had devoted
the leisure OF many years to the preparation OF an
elaborate work on the principles of international
law. His extensive learning, his diplomatic and
parliamentary experience his habits Of accurate
research and nice discrimination, would have
given peculiar valre TO such treatise from his
pen, and it is greatly to be regretted that he was
unable to complete the undertaking Nor can
we less gravely lament that he had not concen-
trated his extraordinary powers on the compost
ton of some great historical work. In addition
TO the traits alluded to above, his rare talent OF
vivid picturesque description, his chaste, but Ter
tile imagination, his insight into historical parai-
lels and analogies, and the wonderful charm Of
his rich and fragrant diction would have assured
him an illustrious place among the iilustHouS
historians who form the chiefest ornament and
pride of our native literature.
In his personal habits, Mr.. Everett was "A
model of industry, promptness, and poweroi easy
and rapid execution. He never forgot an appoint
ment, nor neglected duty. Inthe performance
of his literary tasks, he was as punctual as the
rising of the sun. Though essentially seholas-
tic in his habits no man had Rclearer head or
reader hand in the routine Of practical affairs.
With his love Of elegant retirement, he exercised

when school boy, and retained TO ola
ago was as lucid and beautiful az copper
plate. The act OF composition cost him lttie
effort at tho time, although the fruit OF years
of thought and study, and the manual pro-
cess Of writing stamped bis most ornate
and exquisite productions indelbly upon

indifferent persons too much for his own happl-
ness, perhaps for his own digni'"- although bis
sensitiveness to public opinion strengthened bis
habits of sef-command, and made him, in
all the relations OF life, paragon OF external
propriety. He will be regarded as one OF the
most highly gifted, and admirably cultivated
men of the present age, but he has left no
monument which will furnish an adequate
memorial of his genius TO future generations.

KENTUCKY.

The recent vote Of the Legislature OF
Kentucky for L. s. Senator5G for Gen. Rous-
seau TO So for Mr. Guthrie-is the best sign yet
given by this most indisposed Of Border States
TO heed the lessons Of experience. Gen. Rous-
,eau organized the first Kentucky regiment
raised to fight against Secession and Rebellion
organized when the loyalty of that State was so
cold.blooded that il was doomed advisable TO
enlist, ,ncamp and drill his Union volunteers
ON tho Indiana side iof the Ohio-whcn even
John J. Crittenden discouraged volunteering
saving that Kentucky should leave The States
North and South of her TO fight out their quar-
rel, if they would fight. OF course, Gen. Rous-
seau is a hearty Immediate Emancipationisi,
while Mr. Guthrie is still Bordor-State Con-
seryatiye. Considering when and under what
auspices this Legislature was elected, the fact
that Guthfie has so small n majority is most
cheering. Kentucky is not more than year be-
hind Missouri on the road to Universal Freedom.
