TENNESSEE.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 1.-The House to-
day concurred In the Senate's resolu-
ton to appoint committee, composed
of two Senators and three Representa-
tives, to proceed to Washington to lay
before President johnson the condition
of affairs In Tennessee, and request
him to send a sufficient United States
military force TO the State for the pro-
lection of the people aad press. The
Times, Republican organ favors the
introduction of Federal troops in pre-
ference to employing militia, and urges
the Legislature to strike out the pro-
vision of the militia bill authorizing
the declaration of martial law by the
Governor. 2 -4Et
Andrew Fadeunhamer, a German,

New outlet for CINCINNATI.

The railroad gathering at the White
Sulphur Springs turns out to be more
prolific of results than the reputed pol
itical one. If reports are at all trust.
worthy step OF considerable import
ance in the railroad world has just
been taken. The contract has been
taken for building a railroad from Gov
ington, Kentucky, to Greenbriar, Vir-
ginia. by the first OF May, 1859. The
Significance of this is, that it will con.
meet Cincinnati with Richmond and
Norfolk by adirect route. This will
give Cincinnati, by far, her shortest
path to the sea, and will afford to the
central West a new, cheap and rapid
outlet for its productions to the mar
kets of the world. This road will do for
Cincinnati what we expect the COM
pleted Connellsville road TO do for
Pittsburgh. 1t will prove ofinestimable
benefit to Virginia, and will knit more
firmly than ever the bands of the
brotherhood between the Northwest
and the Southeast.-PittSbttrg Gdzette.

The Presidential Election.

Tuesday next will determine the ques-
ton of the Presidency for four years to
come. Upon the decision of the people,
on that day, the most momentous issues
depend. In view of the gravity of the
questions to be decided and of the weighty
responsibilities which the electors will have
to assume, we think the few hours which
precede that important event, should be
set apart by the voter to the solemn consid-
GRAFTON of the duties which devolve upon
him as citizen in the exercise of the cleo
tive franchise. The questions involved in
the canvass have been thoroughly discuss
ed; argument has been exhausted; the
time for sober reflection and decision has
come. The solemnity of the occasion and
the vast responsibilities which hang upon
the result, cannot fail to impress deeply
every rejecting mind The life or death
of the Republic is the issue now presented
t. the people. The happiness or wretch
edness OF the present and OF unborn gene
rations tremble in the balance. The few
moments which intervene between now
and the close of the 3D. of November, are
pregnant with the veal or wo of this peo-
pie. We tremble with apprehension even
while hope inspires. Never before did W.
feel so deep sense of the importance
of the ballot. Never before did such MO,
mentous consequences hang upon it. The
issue is with the people, let them decide
Theirs is the responsiblity-their's til,
good or ill, the joy or the sorrow conse
quent upon their own acts. Either thu
dawn Of the morning is at hand, or the
blackness of darkness more profound thar
that which enveloped Egypt. Democrats
Conservatives, let us do our whole duty
and whatever the result, we shall hav,
the consciousness that we struggled fo
the right.
