IMPORTANT DBcIsIoN.-The opinion of
the Supreme Court of this State, which
we print this morning, settling the LA
bilities of Confederate officers for military
acts performed under orders from supe-
rior officers during the war, is very i'm
portant one, and opens the doors for a
vast amount of litigation in Tennessee.
Under our present and prospective judi,
cial organization, it may be we'll for Con-
federate officers in this category to look
forward to the day of Radical judicial
wrath, and prepare themselves accordS
ingly.
We observe that Gov Brownlow, who
has been bafiled in the Federal Court, in
his efforts to get possession of the proper
ty of Hon. W. H. Sneed, has commenced
an action of trespass committed during
the war, for damages to the amount of
$4,000, at Knoxville, against w. H.
Sneed, John II. Crozier, r. b. Reynolds
and j. c. Ramsey. He is no doubt in
spired in this course by the decision we
now pint

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
Louisiana Convention.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 26.-The conven-
ton occupied all the day ia considering
the reports of the committee appointed to
draft constitution. Both the majority
and minority reports were taken up at the
same time. The following, which was the
second article in the minority report, was
adopted as the first article of the constitu-
ton, by vote of 81 to II:
All men are created free and equal and
have certain inalienable rights, among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi~
ness. To secure these rights governments
are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
Messrs. Crawford, Galley and Ludaling,
opposed its adoption, stating that it would
bring ridieule upon the convention and
work to the prejudice of the State.
The following was offered, bnt was
crowded out by the previous question:
The citizens of this State owe allegiance
to the United States, and this allegiance is
paramount to the allegiance owed the
State constitution.

THE GOSPEL OF HATE.

Intermixed with the moral and philan.
thropic creed proposed by the party in
the North who have nearly wrecked this
admirable system Of government in the
attempt to assert an equality of political
and social privileges for the negro, and
establish a universal brotherhood, there
is a species of despicable hate towards
the native born white population cE the
South that continually manifests itself
1t will be remembered that in 1856 Con-
gress granted portions of the public
lands to the various States for Agricultu-
raj College and internal improvement
purposes These grants were made con-
ditional and their survey and formal
entry upon possession in the name of
the States, within a certain time. Owing
TO the war, and the unsettled condition
Of the Southern States, since its close,
these terms have not been complied with;
and the House Committee on Public
Lands. taking advantages of this fail
ure, through its chairman Mr. Julian,
Of Indiana, has reported a bill declaring
all grants of lands to such States for the
purpose of aid in the construction of
railroads, null and void and providing
that such bodies of lands shall revert to
the national possession.
The men who propose this legislation,
have, by an iniquitous system Of oppres-
sion, reduced those States to restitution.
Not content with visiting upon them
the necessary attendant evils of a war
waged upon their soil, they have willfuliy
rendered impossible all efforts at recu~
peration, and seem to have studiously
devised means to repress the industrial
energies Of the people and blight their
attempts to regain prosperity This mean
and knavish scheme to deprive them of
the benefits possibly to accrue from these
land grants, is part of their system. To
crafty the rancorous malice they indulge
to the Southern. people, they would sow
the land with salt and make it desert
And yet these are the people who con-
stantly CAB to you about their superior
civilization, and boast that all the moraii-
ty and decency of the country is with

THE RESULTS OF RADICAL TEACH

The report Of Gen. Gillem upon the
present corditiOn Of the freedmen and
planters of Mississippi, and their pros>
poets for the future, which is printed in
this mornings UNION AND DISPATCH, Is
very important document 1t shows per-
haps more wildly than anything that has
yet been given to the public, certainly
more so than any official document yet
published, the imminently dangerous
state of affairs existing in Mississippi 1t
sets forth the important fact that there is
terrible suffering among the negroes, with
no probability that this suffering can be
abated by their late employers, however
willing they might be to extend the needed
relief The failure OF the cotton crop
has been disastrous to both whites and
blacks, aud is likely to entail an amount
of suffering the like Of which has never
been witnessed in that Safe. The pre-
spect for the coming year is more gloomy
than has ever been known In portions
of the State the negroes have banded tcs
gether and are committing serious depre
dations, and the people are appealing to
the military for protection against these
armed mobs Gen. Gillem thinks these
reports are somewhat exagge rated, but
he is satisfied Of the existence of such
organizations These negroes now out OF
employment must subsist, says Gen. Gil
lem, and Consequently, depreciation Is
the rule and honesty the exception
How this il to be remedied the General
does not exactly see, but he submits the
facts to his superior officer for his con
sderation But the most extraordinary
part Of Gen Gillem's report is that where
he refers to the widespread belief
among the freedmen that the lands of
the white people of Mississippi are to be
divided and distributed among them.
This idea has been instilled into the
minds of the ignorant negroes by evil
disposed white men, who profit by the
influence they have been enabled to
exercise over this deluded class Here
we have an outcroping of the talk about
confscatiOn, both in Congress and out of
it, with which the country has been sur
feited for months past The yindictive
course of the Radicals, demanding that
the Southern people be impoverished, that
their lands be confscated and sold to the
'1oyal negroes" has begot this belief in
the ignorant negro, and now it is assum-
ing a shape in Mississippi at which even
the military stand appalled, And it is
this ignorant, this deluded class of people
who, in the prictical operations of the
Radical programme, control the ballot
box of the Southern States. The chill
dren of poverty and ignorance, yet they
are practically the governing class in the
South made so that the Radical party
may riot in its iil-gotten power Every
man who reads Gen Gillems report will
irresistibly arrive at the conclusion that
he regards an outbreak as imminent,
and well may its consequences be depre
Gated

tations are generally the result of fear and
exaggerated rumos, yet the existence of
such organizations in some sections of the
State is certain. Commanders of troops
and agents Of the Bureau have been in
structed TO urge upon the freedmen the
absolute necessity of abstaining from armed
demonstrations, that they will be protected
in their rights, but that they must not seek
redress by force or violence
In order 10 avoid as far as possible bring
ing the races in collision with each other, L
have advised that whenever practicable the
posse summoned to assist in an arrest shall
be Of the same race as the person arrested.

obedient servant,

MONTREAL, Dec. 26.-Some uneasiness
wa5 occasioned here yesterday, by the
reports which have been in circulation for

Threatening letters were received by the

works, and troops kept in readiness to
move when called upon. Nothing of an
unusual character, however, occurred to
disturb the festivities of the day.
