Correspondence Of the Union and American.l
LEBANoS, July 18th, 1866.-In accord
ance with call, the people of this county
met in the Court House on yesterday for the
purpose Of selecting delegates to the State
Convention. The Hon. WIN. B. CAMPBELL
made very appropriate speech, denounc-
ing the Radical usurpation Of the State, and
showing that our strength as people and
nation was in unity, and that it was time to
bury the Ratchet and extend the right hand
offellowship. Resolutions we're passed en-
dorsing the administration Of the President
and the convocation Of the Philadelphia
Convention. l can truly say that our peo-
pie seem TO forget the unhappy past and are
determined to work together for the good of
the whole If it be true that there is a
tide in the affairs of men which, taken at
food, leads on to fortune" may we not hope
that the food-tide of political fortune is now
about TO roll over our unhappy country, and
that the Philadelphia Convention is to be
the instrument in the hands of a conserva-
tive people to sweep away the clouds Of
political gloom that have SO long hid the
sun Of our national prosperity and happi-
ness? How long oh, how long are we,
as State and people, to suffer from Radical
hate? To be governed by laws made by
those who work to destroy peoples liber-
ties and honor? We had thought, hoped
and prayed that when red-hot Mars
had furled his bloody banner, that the angel
Of Peace, which fed shrieking away from the
clash Of arms, would once again return, and
cover with the shadow Of its wings people
reunited. Alas delusive hope. And what
excuse is offered for the present persecution ?
Why are the people of the South, and more
especially Tennessee, deprived of the right
of voice in their Government? They
have most certainly given every guarantee
Of their intention to become good citizens
In the late contest they appealed to arms,
the result was against them, and like brave
men they have shown willingness to abide
by such decision. State after State of those
in rebellion have spoken through their
councils, and declared themselves ready to
bind again the scattered sheaf in unity and
strength. What more could be asked?
Does it then become Government like
ours to be unforgiving? Tostill bear down
upon the vanquished? To shout destruc-
ton, and engrave upon its banners, Woe
to the conquered" and grow hoary and
veteran-like in oppression? To tread with
the iron heel until her sons cry ont in the
language of Treland's immortal poet
"Alasl for bis country. her pride he's gone by.
And that spirit is broken that never would
bend;
Ger her ruin in secret her children must sigh
For tits treason TO love her, and death TO defend
Unpraisd are her sons, till they learn to betray;
Undistinguished they live, if they shame not
And the torch that would light them through
liberty's way.
Must be caught from the pile where their eoun.
try expires"
We feel that the God of nations will yet
redeem US from our captivity, and that the
time is fast approaching when the voice of
the South shall be heard again in the coun-
ellis of this nation. LEE LEON.

The NATIONAL Military Asylum.

The Board of Managers at the National
Military Asylum, have deferred the location
OF any sites for buildings, and still await
proposals from localities DESTROYS Of secuF-
ing such an institution. Bylaws for the
government of the Board of Managers have
been adopted, looking to the organization of
the Asylum, and to proper investment Of
funds with view to securing an income.
The fund now amounts to something in ex-
cess of S, 100000 which will give an annu-
al income of S2S0,000. The Board appro-
priated S150,000 to enable a system of out
side relief to be organized, in order to grant
necessary aid to such applicants as inOy be
deserving Of it, in places where they cannot
be provided for, and in anticipation of the

second Rebellion.

The irrepressiblc Pollarl has just finish
ed his brilliant Southern History of the
War. After the closest and minutest cX-
animation of all the facts connected with
the late struggle, lac is of the opinion that
the ''Conicdcrates' only failed because OF
the incapacity and bIunders of their lead
crs. He declares that the reconstructed
will patiently bide their time, waiting for
another golden opportunity to break and
cast Off the hated yoke of'thc Government,
and profiling by the past, they expect in
the next attempt to win their indepcnd-
ence." Hear him:
Civil war, like private quarrels. are
likely to repeat themselves, where the I'M
successful party has lost the contest only
through accident or inadvertence. The
ConfederateS have gone out of this war with
the proud. secret. deathleSs. danger0u,
consciousness that they are the better men
and that there was nothing wanted but Il
change in set of circumstances and a
fiercer resolve to- make them victors."
As the rebels have already been furnish
ed with "a change in set of cicum-
stances" by the apostacy of Andrew John
son, we may suppose the first gun of the
second rebellion will be fired at an early
day.

The President Plotting a New
Rebellion.

! One. ofthc most damning proofs of the
completely of the Buchanan Cabinet with
the conspiracy of the Southern rehels was
the fact that while the vessels of the navy
were scattered in most distant seas, the
Southern forts were stored with immense
amounts of ammunition and arms and
stripped of their garrisons. A circum-
stance noticed by Rev. DIR. Newman, of
New Orleans, in a letter TO the New York
Methodist, shows heedlessnes on the part
of the President, if nothing else. We
quote:
Nor is il the least Objectionable feature
of Mr.. Johnson's administration that hay
ing withdrawn the greater portion of the
troops from the several garrisons, he has
collected I'm these selfsamc garrisons inn
mense quantities Of military stores and ord
nance sufficient to equip large force.
There is to-day at Baton Rouge, La. ord
nance of all kinds sufficient TO equip an
army of 100000 men, with but a single
regiment to protect them. Although Off
cially notified of the fact. he has paid no
attention to tile notifications of the dan
ger involved. The south was never better
armed than now.

The people of Indiana little suspected in

by Democratic official to purchase dead

that the State should have lost interest on

There is another reason TO believe that
the General was in Canada preparing for
a war in Indiana, for we find that soon af-
ter the date of Clay's letter, the General
had shipped to indianapolis thirty two
boxes, containing four hundred large navy
revolvers and one hundred and thirty thous-
and rounds of fixed ammunition, and diff
fcrent other packages, amounting 10 the
value of S250.00O. In his letter to Govern
or Morton, the gallant little General claim
cd that he had bought these Sunday School
books for fe1 friends. Probably they
were to be used by the few friends in set
Ting the ''things that are much mixed up at
that point QIapOrte) and need extricating-'
In buvinc these revOlvers for few friends,
the General was compelled to use funds be-
longing to the State of Indiana. 1t will be
remembered that he refused to pay the in
terest on the State Indebtedness, and wrote
very saucy letters about ii. From reading
the following letter your readers will un-
derstand that the money belonging to the
people and raised by taxing them, was adj
vanced by the General to the parties for
whom he purchased these weapons, and he
was a little short when the interest become
due. This letter was found among the pa
pcrs of the rebel War Department, endors-
