FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1861. jf We lay before oar readers this mora Ing the proceedings of the Greeoeville Con Tendon, and the memorial to tbe Legislature "npon the eabj -ct of the difference between East Tennessee and the rrft of the State. We had cherished the opinion that after tbe ejec tion of the 8 h Jane there woald be no differ ence among tbe people of the State an to tbe aoPDort and maintenance of the attitude of tbe State as determined by that election. We hardly know yet whether we are disappointed. Tbe members ol that awmwtge were ap pointed before tbe election, and' we do not know whether its late action represents the true sentiments of the people who roted azainet the ordiaaoee of Separation. For aught we know they, panning the idea npon which tbey have acted ajrainst secession in tbe general and In detail,' may be opposed to a dismemberment of the State. Certainly tbe tone and language of tbe "-declaration of grievance," is unworthy a free, just and magnanimous people, unworthy of tbe obj-xt eonght to be accomplished, and unworthy of history. We do not propose to enter into a criticism, however, tbb morning, npon the alleged causes of the extraordinary coarse pursued by the Convention. We reserve that for another occasion, if in oor judgment it should . become necessary. When we do undertake It we pledge ourselves to probe the object to Iu bottom, and to give a thorough expose of the movement which is designed to turn East Tennessee over to the Lincoln ncnrfMtinn and to brio a: on a civil conflict between the people of this State among them seves. We choose, for the present, to . await the action of the Legislature. There is one idea conveyed in tbe 'declara tion of grievances," nevertheless attiibutr in the action of Middle and Wtt Tennessee to the Influence of a corrupt ana surjeimzea press, which we feel it due to ourselves and la the people to notice. It can apply only to the press which sustained tbe Union, until the bloody, unconstitutional and usurp&tory proclamation of Lincoln for troops to eubju ,r.fa ih Snath. It was given forth before - in the press then endeavoring to support Lin coln. In that form we did not care to digtn fj It J notice. It is now put forth by those who have attained, at least, a portion of their prominence by tbe very instrnmen- fta.litv thev seek to stab. We embrace tbe oc casion to say that, so far as the allegation is unliable to this Daper. it 13 unfounded rr . In every particular and infamously slao In all its carts. We believe the same of every other Union press in this part of the State, and challenge and defy specifi cations of papers and facts. While we do this for ourselves and our contemporaries of the press, we desire to say for tbe people who have read our paper and coincided with as in opinion, that we repel the imputation that tbey could or would be led, like tbeep to the slaughter, by any power incompatible with their consciences and their judgments. There Is another charge conveyed by this declaration which we now repel with ecnal positlveness, that a rtign of terror existed in this part of tbe State, and that tbe election u unfair and fouL We reserve the rest for another occasion. Tbt Greensville Convention. This assemblage met at Creeneville on the 17th Inst. The officers were, Hon. T. A. E Nelson, President; Johx Williams of Knox, and Wh. Hbb-xell, of Monroe, Vice Pres. dents; J ohm M. Flkmiso, of Knox, Secretary, J. Moxbok Meek, of Jefferson, Assistant Secretary. The county of Rhea was not rep resented, and fonr counties were represented bv alternates. Tbe Convention remained iu session fonr days. The following la th. suit of their labors: DCCLARATIOS Or GRIXYAXCE3. re We 'be people or .bast lennessee again as sembled in a Con veo i ion of our Delegates, make the following declaration in addition to tb4t heretofore promulgated by os at Knox- Title, on tbe 30th and 3Iet day of May last. So far as we can learn, the election held in this State on the 8th day of the present month, was free, with but few exception", in no other part of tbe State, other than East Tennessee. In the larger part of Middle and West Teauesee, no cp-ecbes or discussions in favor of tbe Union were permitted. Union papers were not allowed to circulate. Meas ures were taken in some puis of West Ten-Des-ee. in defiance of tbe Constitution and laws, which allow folded-tickets to have tbe ballot numbered in such manner as to maik and expose tbe Union votes. A Diaunian pa per, the Nashville Qaxttte. in urging tbe peo ple - to vote open ticket, declared thai "a thief takes a pocket book or effis an en trance into forbidden places j stealthy means- a torv, in voting, usually adop s pretty much tbe same course of procedure." ' Dissnionbits, in many places, had charge of tbe polls and Unioo men, when voting, were denounced as Linculnitea and Abolitionist. Tbe unanimity of tbe votes in many large counties wbere, but a few weeks ago, tbe Union sentiment was so strong, proves be yond doubt that Union men were overawed by tbe tyranny of tbe military power and still greater tvranny of a corrupt and subei dized press. In tbe city of Memphis, where 6613 votes were east, but five freemen bad tbe courage to vote tor tbe Union and these were stigmatized in the pnblic press u ''ig norant traitors who opposed .tbe popular edict.' Oor earnest appeal to oor 1 retbren in tbe other divisions of tbe State, was pub lished then only to a small extent, and tbe member and names of those who composed oor Convention, as well aa tbe counties tbey represented, were suppressed and the effort madd to impress the minds of the people that East Tennessee was favorable t j secession. Tbe Memphis Appeal, a prominent Disunion paper, published a false account of our pro ceedings under the head The traitors is CuOCIL." and styled us, who represented tTey county but two in Ea-t Tennessee (1 j.vftT batch of effected traitor who hover areaad the noxious atmosphere of Andrew Johnson's borne." Our meeting was tele graphed to tbe N- O. Delta, and it was falsely add that wa had paaxrd a resolution recom mending aubmlsBioa if 70,000 votes were cast agint drcermon. The dispatch added that Taa Socthkks kiobth mm am detmmwed t kou roee3JC3 or TBK Stats TBOCGH thkt shoclo uui xao&rTT." Vol an tee rs were allowed to vote in and out of the atate, In flagrant violation of tbe Constitution. From tba moment tbe election was over, and before any detailed statement of the vote in the different counties bad been oabuVhtd, and before it was possible to ascertain the remit, it was exuliiugty proclaimed that separation had Urea carrkd by from 60.000 to 70 000 vviea. This was to prepare tbe pnblic mind to enable tbe Secessionist to bold poesesioo of the State though they should be in a mi nority f The final result is to be announced by a Disoaion Governor, whose existence do peods epoa tbe success of secession, and no provision is made by law for an examination of the vote by disinterested persons or even for contesting the election. For these and other caases, we do not regard the result of the election as exprweive of tbe will of a ma jority of the freemen of Tennessee. Had the election everywhere been conducted as it was ia EabC Tennessee ws, ould entertain a -different opinion. Here, no effort was made to suppress seceasioa papers or prevent se cession fpeecuea or votes, altbougs, an over erheia &g majority of the people were against Cis1 tn Jtiere, no effort baa been made to prevent the formation of military companies or obetrnct the traoportatioa of armies or to proeecct those who violated the laws of ' the United Stale and ct Tennessee again! treaeuo. The Union men of East Tennessee asxioos to be sentralln the contest, were ec nienl to to joy their own opinions and to allow the ounce latitude of opinion axd so tioa to those who tUSdvi from them, " Had Cm km toleration prevaiird in other parte Ct tie tzzla, e kare no coat sttjof iry of oor people would have voted to re- aaain in th Unions Bat. if this view is er roneous, we have the same (and, as v'e think, a much better) right to remain Ja te Governmtt of the Uni'ed States, than the other division of Tennessee have to ieceUo from it. .''" WeDrefer to remain attached, to the Gov ernment of oor father. ! The Constitution of the United Sute has done ns no wrong. Tbe Congress of tbe United btates has passed no law to oppress us. The President of tbe United States has made no threat against the law-abiding people of Tennessee. Uodr tbe Government of the United States, we have enjoyed as a nation more of civil and religious ireedom tban any otbr people nn- aer toe wnoie neaven. ve oeueve tnere s no cane for rebellion or secession on the part ot ine people ot Tennessee. xoae was assigned by the Legmlature in their miscalled Declaration of Independfece. No adequate cause can be assigned. Tbe select committee of that body asserted a era and inexcu a ble falsehood ia their address to the people of Tennessee when tbey declared that the Govertnteat of the United States has made war npon- them. - Tbe secession cause baa thus far .been sustain d by deception and falsehood; by. falsehoods as to tbe action ot Congress by fUe dWpatcbes as to battles that were never fought and victories that were never woo; by false accounts as to the earooses of the President: by taise represen tatioos as to the views of Union men; and by false pretenses as to tbe facility with which tbe Secession troops would Uke possession of tbe Capitol and capture the highest omcera of tbe Government. Tbe cause ot secession or rebellion has no charm tor us. and its progress has been maiked by the moat alarming and dangerous attacks upon the public liberty. In other States, as well as our owo, its whole course threatens to annihilate tbe last vestige of freedom. While peace and prosperity have bletded us in the Government of tbe United States, the following may be enumerated as some of the fruits of secession. It was n rired forward by members ot Con gress who were sworn to support tbe Consti tution tt the United Slates, and were them selves suoDorted bv the Government; It wa.- effected without consultation with all the States interested in tbe slavery ques tion and without exhausting peaceable meas ures: " - - ' It has plunged tbe country into civil war, paralyzed our commerce, interfered .with tbe wnoie traaeana Dasiaese ui uui vwuuj, les sened tbe value of our property, destroyed manv of tbe pursuits of lite, and bids fair to involve tbe wbole nation iu irrelrietable bankrnntcv and rain: It has changed tbe entire relations of States and adopted constitutions without submit ting them to a vote of tbe people, and where such a vote has been authorized, it baa been upon tbe coodiiion prescribed by Senator Mason, of Virginia, that those who voted the Union ticket "srcaT leave the dtatk. - It has advocated a . constitutional mon archy, a King and a Dictator, and is through the "Richmond press at - this moment, recom mending to tbe Convention in Virginia a re striction of the right ot suHrage, and "in sev ering connection with the Yankees to abolish every vittige of resemblance to the institutions of that detested race," It has formed military leagues, passed mil itary bills", and opened the door lor oppres sive taxation, without consulting tbe people, and then, in mockery of a free election, has reouired them bv their votes to sanction its usurpations under the penalties of moral pro- ecnption or at me point oi me oayouek. . .. .

It has passed laws declaring It Treason to say or do auvtbiug in favor of tbe Govern ment of tbe United States, or against ue Confederate Slates, and such a law is now before, and we apprehend will soon be passed bv ihe Legislature of Tennessee, It has attempted to destroy, and, we fear soon, utterly prostrate the freedom of speech and of tbe press. It hua involved tne boutnern states in a war WDOSe success is nupeiew, aiui wuicu i i i i. : i. must ultimately lead to the ruin of the peo- nlt Its bigoted, overbearing and intolerant spirit has already subjected the people of East rennessee to many petty grievances; our people have been insulted; our nags nave been fired upon and torn down; our houses have been rudely entered; oar families sub jected to insult; our peaceable meetings in urrnntMh oar vome aod children ebot at iv a merciless soldiery; our towns pillaged; our citizens robbed and some of them assas sinated and murdered. No effort has been spared to deter tbe Un ion men of East Tennessee fiom tbe expres sion of their tree thoughts. Tbe penalties ot treason baa been threatened against them, and murder and assassination have been openly encouraged by leading secession jour nals. As secreeion nas oeec tnut overoear- iog and intolerant while in the minority in East Tennessee, nothing better can be exptct- ed of the pretended majority, than wild, un constitutional and oppressive legislation; an utter contempt and disregard ot law; a deter mination to force every man in the State to swear to the support of a Constitution be ab hors, to yield his money ano property to aid a cunt he detests, and to become tbe object of scorn and derision as well as the victim of intolerable and relentless oppression. In view ot these considerations, and oi tne fr ot that the people of East Tenneosee have declared their fidelity to the U"ion by a ma jority of about 20,000 votes. Therefore, we do resolve and declare: RESOLUTIONS. ' st. That we do earnestly desire the res toration of peace to our wbole country, and most especially tbat our own section of tbe State of Tennessee should not be involved in civil war. 2d. That the action of our btate Legiala- latnre in passing the so tolled "Declaration of Independence," and in forming the "Military League' with the Confederate States, and, in adopting other acta looking to separation ot tbe State or Tennesse rrom tne government ot the United States, is unconstitutional and il legal, and, therefore, not binding upon us as laval citizens. ' - 3d. Tbat In order to avert a conflict with oar bretbern in other parts of tbe State, and desiring that every constitutional mean shall be resorted to, lor the preservation of peace, we do, therefore, constitute arl appoint O. P. Temple, of Knox. . John Netberland, of Hawkins, and James P. McDowell, of Greene, commissioners, whose duty It shall be to pre pare a memorial, and cause tbe same to be presented to the General Assembly of Ten nessee, now in session, adtiog its consent that the cocntiYs composing East Tennessee, and such counties in Middle Tennessee as de sire co-operation with them, may form and erect a separate State. 4th. Desiring, in good faith, tbat the Gen eral Assembly will grant tbia our reasonable request, and still claiming tbe right to deter mine our own destiny, we do further resolve that an election be held in all tbe counties of Eist Tennessee, and such other counties in Middle Tennessee, adjacent thereto, a may desire to co-operate with us, for tbe choice of Delegates to represent tbem in a General Convention, to be held in the town of Kings ton, at such lime as the President oi this con vention, or in case of bis absence or inability, any one of the Vice-Presidents, or, in like case with them, the Secretary of this conven tion may designate; and tbe officer so desig nating the day lor tbe assembling of said con vention, shall also fix tbe time for holding the election herein provided for, and give reasonable notice thereof, 5th. Ia order to carry out tbe foregoing resolution, the Sheriffs ot tbe different conn tire are hereby requested to open aad h-.ld aid election or cause tbe same to be held, in the usual manner and at tbe usual places of voting, as prescribed by law; and in the event the Sheriff of any county should fail or re fuse to open and hold said t lection, or cause tbe same to be dene, tbe Coroner of each ooaaty ia requested to do so; and should such Coroner fail or refuse, then any constable of each county is hereby authorized to open and bold eaid election or cau-e tbe same to be done. And if in any county none of the above named officers will hold said election, then any Justice of the Peace or Freeholder in each county is authorized to bold the same or cause it to be done. Ibe officer or other person holding said election shall certify the result to the President ot this Convention or aaeb officer as may have directed tbe same to be holden, at as early a day thereafter a practicable; and the officer to whom aatd re turns may be made, shall open and compare the polls, and issue certificates to tbe LVle gete elected. - . f Ta in sail Coarctation tt$ farms! counties shall ns. represented as follow: The county of Knox shall elect three Dele gites. the counties of Washington, Greene and Jefferson, two Delegates each, and tbe remaining counties shall each 'elect one Del egate, v . -s - - . .

To tbe General Assembly of the State of Tennessee: Tbe undersigned, memorialists, on behalf of the people of East .Tennessee bear teave respectfully to sbow, that at a eon vention of delegates, holden at Greeneville, on the 17tb,18tb,19tb and 20th days of June, instant, in which was represented every coun ty of Eaet Tennessee, except the county of Knea, it was resolved: I-t. "Tbat'we do earnestly desire the res toration of peace to our wbole country, and most especially that our own section of tbe State of Tennessee shall not be involved in civil war." - - - , - - - 2d. "That tbe action of the State Legist; tore in passing the so-tailed 'Declaration of Independence,' and in forming tbe 'Military League' with the Confederate States, and in adopting other acts looking to a separation of Tennessee from tbe Government nf the United States, is unconstitutional and ille gal, and therefore not binding npon us as loyal citizens." . r 3. "And it was farther resolved, 'That in order to avert a conflict with our brethren in other parts of the State, and desiring that every constitutional means shall be resorted to, tor tbe preservation of peace, we do, therefore, constitute and appoint O. P. Tem ple, of Knox, John Netberland, of Hawkins, and James P. McDowell, of Greene, commis sioners, whose duty it shall be to prepare a memorial and cause the same to be presented to tbe General Assembly of Tennessee, now in session, asking its consent that tbe coun ties composing East Tennessee, and such oth er counties in Middle Tennessee as dexlre to co operate with them, may form and erect a separate State. Tbe idea of a separate political existence is not a recent one, but it is not necessary here to restate the geographical, ' social, eco nomical and industrial reasons which have often been urged in support of it. The rea son which operated npon the oonventioa and seemed to them conclusive, was the action of tbe two sections, respectively, at tbe election held on the 8 b iust, to determine the future national relations of the felate. In that elec tion, the people of Kat Tennessee, by a ma jority ot nearly twenty thousand votes, de cided to adhere to the Federal Union, estab lisbed prior to tbe American Revolution, and to which Tennessee was admitted in the year 1795; while tbe rest of tbe State ia reported to have decided by a majority approaching even more nearly to unanimity, to leave the CbUerat union and to join tbe body politic recently formed under tbe name of tbe Coo- federated States of America. Tbe same di vertity of sentiment was exhibited, but less distinctly, at the election on tbe Otb' of Feb ruary last, when the people of East Tennes see decided by a heavy majority against hol ding a convention to discuss and determine our federal relations, overcoming by nearly fourteen thousand the majority in the rest of me btate in favor ot such a convention. This hopeless and irreconcilable difference of opinion and purpose, leaves no alterna tive but a separation of tbe two sections of tbe State; for it is not to be presumed that tuner would lor a moment, think of subm gating the other, or of coercing it into a po litical condition repugnant alike to its inter est and to its honor. Certainly tbe people of feast xennessee entertain no such purpose to- waras tne rest or tne state. And the avow als of thfir Western brethren, tn connection with their recent political action, have been too numerous and explicit to leave us in anv douoi as to ineir views. It remains, therefore, that measures be adopted to effect a separation, amicably, hon- oraoiy, ana magnanimoaniy, by a settlement of boundaries, so as to divide East Tennessee, and any contiguous counties or districts which may desire to adhere to her, from the rest of tbe Stato, and by a fair, just and equi table division ot tbe public orooertv and the common liabilities. It has occurred to tbe undersigned as the best method of ac complishing this moat desirable end, tbat your body should take immediate action in the premises, by giving a formal assent to the proposed separation, pursuant to the provi sions or section a, article 4. ot the Uonstitu tion of tbe United States; and by convoking a convention representing tbe sovereign pow er of the people of tbe respective divisions or lenneseee, witn plenary autonty to amend tbe Constitution ot tbe State as to carry into enect tue cuauge contemplated. . With a view to such action, or to action leading to tne same result, the undersigned ask permission to confer with your body. either in general session or through a com mittee appointed tor this purpose, so as to consider and determine the details more sat isfactorily than could otherwise be done. 1 Awaiting response to this memorial, the uodersigne beg W add assurances of every etdeavor on toeir pari not oniy to preserve toe peacetul relations heretofore subsisting between tbe people in tbe two portions of the state, out to remove as jr as posaiDie, an causes of disturbance in tbe future, so that each may be left free to follow its chosen path of prosperity, and honor, unembarrassed by any collision with tbe other. u. r. l KMPLE, .

A citizen of Al exandria, reached there to-day from Manas- sis Junction, woo nas been confined for three days, says there are a large number of pris oners there, tie gives a painful account of tbe rebels. During the three days he was a prisoner he neither had bread or water.- He underwent an examination .before three pei- sons, neaaea Dy w m. rorcner Miles, from S. C, resulting in his liberation. On being lib- eratea ne maae nis way to tne f otomac, in order to escape into Maryland. He found all tbe roads blocked by rocks and trees fell ed to resist tbe passage of troops, within five mues or Manassas junction. When he was dismissed he was informed that their troops would be in Washington in two weeks, and if he should be caught there be wonld be bung. He heard them boast of the immensity ol their force, but does not be lieve there were 15,000 men there. Fullv one quarter of them were armed with shot guns, while many were not armed at all. The scarcity of water caused a great deal of sicKness among tbe rebels. Scouts, who have returned from within tbe vie nity of Fairfax Court House to-day, re port tbat tbe enemy have erected batteries one and a half miles north and east of tbe Court House. All tbe roads leading from this direction bad been obstructed by trees being felled across ail the level places. This destruction ot all the roads precludes the iaea mat tne rebels intend to advance, and the same view Is sustained in tbe fact that tbe roads leading to Centreville, in tbe rear of Fairfax, have been nearly cleared np. There is but one battery at Fairfax Court House. Very few troops are in the village. ana bat a few tnousand located in tbe rear. An alarm of an advaLe of the Federal troops caused both citizens and soldiers to leave Far tx in great baste. Col. Hardee command .e Rebel forces at Fairfax Court House.

He is also throwing np a series of batteries opposite Hampton, which will serve alike to proteot his lines from at tack and cover Hampton. the inhabitants beyond New Market bridge complain bitterly of the outrages of the LfOuimana Zouaves. Information places the loss of the enemy at Great Bethel much higher tban previous accounts. 1 heir cavalry was thrown into great confusion by Grebble's shells. Secretary Welles decided to strike from the rolls tbe name ot every naval officer who re signs in time of war, whether on or off duty. A reconnoieanc of aiatnias foint was made yesterday by the Pawnee. A number of her crew landed, frightening off the rebel pickets and bringing on board tbe Pawnee two hor ses supposed to belong to the Colonel and a Captain of a regiment of 1,000 men ascer tained to be encamped three miles back of this point. No indications of a battery near the point were seen. it appears mat inestrj regiment had a cool reception in Baltimore. Everybody looked sconling. No flags greeted them.

Stone's command arrived this morning, states tbat 63 rebels were kill ed at Edwards' and Conrads' Ferry, in tbe recent engagements. This work was done by Lieut. Hash brook, of tbe West Point battery. It is thought Jeff Davis does not intend making formal propositions of peace, but will accede to prepositions drawn by bis emis saries here, . who are pretended Unionists. These are the men who are spreading exag gerated accounts of men, money, and resour ces of the rebels. Of such was tbe reports tbat there were 180,009 troops in Richmond. Oar agents fix the wbole number of troops a Virginia at 50,000. not al of whom are armed and equipped or can U provisioned..
