Tennessee state ConvenitIon.

.
CINCINNATI, o., May 4.-The Conven-
ton called to consider the propriety of
organizing separate State govern
ment for East Tennessee, met at Knox
Vile yesterday, Judge Rogers presid-
ing. Judge Rogers said he hoped the
members would act deliberately and
with caution. This was but an adj
journed meeting of the Convention at
'Greenville, held during the dark hours
of the rebellion. We propose to con-
tipue the movement. It is no secession
movement. five secede 1t will be from
the rebel people to join the Union peo-
pie. East Tennessee had long desired
a separate State government, and now
the State can be made one of the
richest in the Union: At the conclu-
sion of the Presidents remarks,
Colonel Temple, from the Commit
tee on Resolutions and Business,
reported an address, which was unani-
mously adopted, stating that the
scheme had been long cherished by the
people, and that the east and west of
the State differed in soil, habit, DC, and
that these differences are erradicable.
The address concludes with statistics as
to the population, number OF square
miles, mineral resources, &c.
Mr.. James Delamont, from Hamil-
ton, offered resolutions opposing the
address of the committee, and advising
the postponement of the question until
Congress decides Tennessee Is a State.
His resolutions were almost unani-
mously voted down. After an eloquent
address by. Col. Nelson supporting the
movement, the President of the Con-
vention was instructed to appoint n
committee OF three to bring the ques-
ton before the legislature. A commit
tee was also appointed to prepare an adj
dress to the people of East Tennessee.

NEW YORK, May 3,


There has been less activity and animation

spring trade is now drawing to a close, and
the bulk OF 1t Is over. There will undouhted-

think there can be any long period Of activ-

in some instances, and possibly the fear Of
the cholera has prevented some few buyers
from visiting the city. The season has not
