THE FIAT GONE FORTH.

The proclamation announced by Gov.
BRowNLOw as to follow his first, and
notify the people of the counties upon
whom the curse of martial law was first
to fall, has, according to the Knoxville
Press aud Herald, been promulgated. A
complete list Of the counties are not
given by the editor OF that paper, but he
numbers them as not less than twenty,
and that the following named are among
them Williamson, Bedford, Ruther-
ford, franklin, Giles, Maury, Hsrde-
man and Upton. The list does not In
clude q single county in East Tennessee.
The militia sre now rapidly assem-
bling in Maury county, Columbia being
the headquarters. Two regiments are to
be mustered, arms for that num-
Der having been drawn for by Gen.
COOPER. From the rapidity with which
men are answering to the call Of the
Governor, it is not too much to expect
that within q week the militia will be in
the vicinity Of Memphis, the Courts be
be closed, and the tragedy Oh comedy
commence.
Under the circumstances, we cannot
too earnestly impress upon our people
the necessity for the most peaceful, as
well as dignifed demeanor. Not even
the semblauee of pretext should be
given for the rigors or sbsolutism Of
martial law. One and al must remem-
Der thai the declaration Of martial law
means the suspension of every civil
right Of the citizen and his subsection to
a one-man power that upon the ssy-so
of an officer in command hangs every
life and safety Of all property.
Give the militia 8 wide berth. Have moth
ing TO do with them one way or another.
Have no intercourse or dealings with
them, save when compelled to. Confne
yourselves to your homes and your Ordi-
nary duties, and do not give any provo
cation for the least infringement Of those
intimate personal rights which every
msn at such a time must gnard most sa-
credly. Then, if wrong comes, it will
lie at the door of him upon whose shout
ders must forever rest the responsibility
OF the existence of this militia, and the
woes and penalties their presence with
US may entail.
