The military authorities are not here to offend or injure the people, but to insure peace to their homes. by repelling invasion and preventing the Introduc tion of the horrors of civil war. Treason to the State cannot, will not be tolerated. Hut perfeot freedom of the ballot-box has and will be accorded, and no man's rights, property, or privileges shall be disturbed. All who desire peace can have peace by quietly and harmlessly pursuing their lawful avocations, lint Tennessee having taken ber stand with her sister States of the South, he honor and safety require that no aid shall be given within her borders to the arms -of the tyrant Lincoln. e nave asked of the fiorth a recognition or our political equality, and have been refused. We have asked for terms merely nnder which we could enjoy a sense of safety to our proierty and time- honored Institutions, but hi vain. Under snch cir cumstances the States of the South resolved to sub mit no longer to long rejieated and vexatious inter medling with our rights. The North wag deaf to justice, because they believed they bad the power to crush us if we rebelled. lib terrilic threats they moved great armies upon us. Those armies have bees driven back, with havoc and consterna tion. Heaven bag smiled upon the South blessing her with rich harvests and heroic sons. The North is already shaken as with a palsy ber late arro gant soldiers filled with apprehension her late boasted revenues dwindled to a stern ne-ssity fov direct taxation. Can there be recreant sons of Tennessee who would strike at their bro'bers while thus struggling for Southern honor and indepen dence? or who would invite the enemy over the border, to inaugurate war and desolation amid-oui own fair fields 1 There can be but few such. II any, it were better for their memory had they per ished before such dishonor. Let not the Union men of the late contest ut the ballot box, among whom I personally know so many to be patriotic and true men, be carried along by excitement or passion .into so deplorable an extreme. Though differing upon the late political questions, we are all Tcnucsseciins. For the honor and glory of Tennessee let us be. as heretofore, shoulder to shoul der iu battle, or peacefully at home, not sorrowing when victory perches on tho standard of Tennessee regiments. F. K. ZOLLICOFFKK, Brig. General Commanding. Important IU'mor. There was a very important rumor in our city on yesterday, based upon author- ty which entitles it to high respect, it not absolute credence. It is affirmed that Admiral Uundas, in command of the British Fleet off Charleston, has written to Lord Lvon, the British Minister in Wash- ngton, that the hlocknde of the Lincoln Govern ment is ineffectual, and he should therefore break I! This information Lord Lyon communicated to Secretary Scwurd. Mr. Sewnrd replied that the blockade is effectual, and that It the ISritiMi Uoven.- ment disregard it, it will do so at its peril. Lord Lyon responded that hisduty ended with the oinniunication he had made. The above reaches lie through English sources If there be no mistake about it, Abraham will soon have his hands full. By land an I by sea, his trou bles come upon him. Truly "the way of transgress. ers is hard. Richmond Enquirer SWA. Capture of the Steamer Equality. On Thursday morning tho 14th inst., while tho stem wheel s tenner Equality which is owned by the Lincoln government, and used as a river patrol between Cairo and Evanuville, on tho Ohio river was Iyinjr at the mouth of Mayfiold creek, at the head of Island No. 1, about threo miles below Bird's Point, taking on board maketinp for the troops at Cairo, a party of seven horsemen roke up to the boat and made a bargain with the captain to convey them to Norfolk, on the Missouri shore, (where there are two of Lincoln's regiments en camped,) at the rate of a dollar each, for themselves and horses. As soon as the boat pushed out. The pilot and other ofii cers of tho boat were astonished to find loaded pistol pointed at each of their breasts, accompanied with instructions to head the boat down stream. It is need less to say that tho orders thus given were immediately obeyed. Upon the ariival'oi the boat at Columbus, twenty miles from Cairo, the crew was set to work taking in coal, the captors rotiring to the hotel to narrato tho particulars of the capture, and also to refresh tho inner man. Refore each of the soven had given his own vcr sion of the affair, tho proprietor of th hotel came rushing down from the roof, where he had stat'oned himself on watch and reported "tho gun-boats coming h had seen the smoke." This was more than the captors had bargained for. and six ot the seven incontinently backed out, and would hnvo nothing further to do in the matter. Tho seventh one immediately started for the boat, with a bottle of "red eve." and after a short discourse with the crew, ordered the plank in, and soon th "solitary horseman," with his prize, was steaming down the Mississippi, en route for New Madrid. In about an hour an a half two ot tho Lincoln gun boats, th "Lexington" and "Concstoga" the form cr enrrying six, the latter two guns pass ed Columbus in full chase. At 3 o cloc p. M. they passed Hickman, eightoen mil below ; but had not gained upon the runa war. Ketoro the "Equality reached 1 land No. 10, fuel became scarce, and the prospect of a recapture imminent, when to tho anutterablo joy of the rebel "horse marine, the Confederate dispatch steam er, ''Grampus, " came booming up the ri ver. She was soon alongside, and taking the prize in tow carried her to Madrid, where the gallant "horse marine" turned her over to the General commanding the Confederate forces at that ploce. The gunboats kept up the chase until within threo miles of New Madrid, when tboir of ficers considering "prudence the better part of valor," thought proper to retrace their way to Cairo without the prise. "Nobody hurt a'ian. MeinpK Appeal, The OldjCouple. It stands In sonny meadow, The house so mossy and brown, With Its cambroas old stone chimneys, And the grey roof sloping down. The trees fold their green arms around it, The trees a centnry old ; And the winds go chanting through them, And the sunbeam drop their gold. The cowslips spring In the marshes, And t'ne.roees bloom on the hill; - And beside the brook tn the pastures, The herds go feeding at will. The children have gone and left them, They sit in the sun alone; . And the old wife's ears are falling, . As she harks to the well known tone. That won her heart in ber childhood, That has soothed her in many a care, . And praises her now for the brightness iter old face used to wear. She thinks again of her bridal, How dressed in her robe of white, She stood by her gay young lover In the morning's rosy light. Oh the morning Is rosy as ever, But the rose from her cheek is fled; And the sunshine still is golden, But it falls oa a silvered head. - -, And the girlhood dreams once vanished, Come back in her winter time, Till her feeble pulses tremble With the thrill of spring time's prime. ' And looking forth from the window, She thinks how the trees have grown, Since clad in her bridal whiteness, She crossed the old door stone. Though dimmed her eyes bright azure, And dimmed her hair's young gold ( The love in her girlhood blighted, Has never grown dim nor old. They sat in peace in the sunshine, Tilt the day was almost done; And then at its close, an angel Stole over the threshold stone. He folded their hands together He touched their eyelids with balm; And their lost breath floated upward, Like the close of a solemn psalm. Like a bridal pair they traversed The unseen mystical road, That leitds to the beautiful city, "Whose builder and maker is God." Perhaps in that miracle country They'll give her Ut youth back; And the flowers of a vanished spring-time, Will bloom in the spirit's track. One draught from the living waters, Shall call back his manhood's prime; And eternal years shall measure The love that out-lived time. But the shapes that they left behind them, The wrinkles and silver hair, Made holy thus by the kisses The angel had printed there We will hide away 'neath the willows, When the day is low in the west; Where the sunbeams cannot find them, Nor the winds disturb their rest. And we'll suffer no tell-tale tombstone, With age and date to rise O'er the two who are old no longer, In the Father's house in the skies. The Release of T. A. R. Nelson. The following telegram was received by Dr. J. ii. M. Ramsey from President Da vis: Richmond, Va., Aug. 13. Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, Knoxvule: Yours received. Mr. Nelson has, ac knowledged his obligation, as a citizen of the State ot lennessee, to submit to her late decision; ancTupon bis promiso to act hereafter in accordance therewith, I have ordered his release. Jefferson Davis. This will be gratifying to the numerous friends of Mr. Nelson in Last lennessee and we are satisfied with the result. The Southern Confederacy has no feel ncs of revengo to gratify. All they ask and require is "submission to the late de cision" of the State of Tennessee, and citizens to "act hereafter in accordance therewith." Had this "obligation been acknowledged" and acted upon by Mr. Nelson, be would never have been arres ted. Tho supremacy of tho Constitution and laws have been vindicated, and Mr. Nelson has honored himself in accepting the terms on which his release was granted. We hope this will serve as a salutary les- gnu. Anoxt'ilie jieguier. We notice in the August edition of Di Bow' Review, the followingjust tribute paid the patriotism of Tennessee. 'Thoush the latest to join the southern Confodracy, she has exhibited a degree of seal so far that no other State has equalled; and at this moment she has a larger volun tcer force enrolled and ready for service than of her sisters. Again, as at New Orleans, the enemy will find Tennessee volunteers and the Tennessee rules ready to narform their victorious part in the Llnnilv drama of war.

Army Correspondence, STiUXTOK, Va, Ang. 6, 1861. Dear Chronicle: Fearing that you would lose sight of the 14th Regiment, and forget mk altogether, I conclude, once more to thrust myself into notice. We have at last about reached the end of our present march, and the 14th is encamped within the neighborhood of Huntersville, As for yeur humble correspondent, he sits in nice comfortable room in the beautiful town above named, a " ministering angel " to two sick comrades. And just here let me say a word about the ladios of Staunton, God bless them ! It would do your soul good to see the spirit manifested by them The sick who fall into the hands of the good people here will ever cherish their memory, amid the heat of battle, the bloom of after life, and the hoary frosts of age. I have always had an exalted opinion of Virginia ladies, and yet my acquaintance with them but raised them higher in my estimation. The Hospitals here, of which there are two the celebrated and beautiful Deaf und Dumb Institute having been converted into one are kept as nice and clean as any parlor in Clarksville. The rooms are well ventilated, and the patients receive the best attention possible under the circum stances. The ladies are not unfrequent Ivisitors, and again I ask Heaven's blessings upon them. Have you failed to keep tip with our travels since we left Camp Q? Then you may look at my "log-book," from which you will perceive we halted two weeks at Haynesville, amongst the mountains of East Tennessee; where, by the way, it rained every other day to dispel the monot ony of clear weather. We were glad to get away from Haynesville, and have since been "laying over and going on," until we have at last approached to within less than thousand miles of the enemy. There are thousands of brave andtcheerful boys pass on rLittle prudence puts herhand on my lips and' says I must not tell where. But no matter; they nwl going to VICTO RY. Our boys begin to think they will have some fighting to do at last; but I as sure you they have "screwed their courage up to the sticking pointy" and will give a good account of themselves better, at any rate, than Madame Rumor gave a short timo after we left you. ' I have seen several beroes from the bat tle of Manassas, with "honorable scars," and some very sensitive ones. They give some interesting accounts of scenes which came under their immediate observation, but which I will not. here repeat. They all Hay, however, that the Yankees cannot stuiid cold steel, but can beat any body on the "double quick'.1 they ever saw. I have also seen sevesal trophies captured from the enemy, and therefore assure you that there has actually been a battle at Manas sas, even if the telegraph did Bay so. I am anxious, together with my recover ing friends, to join our boys before the next fool-rare comes off, and will be off from here soon, and will not then, proba bly, be able to send you another squib for some time. Uowovetr, when the foot-race comes off, I'll try to let you know who beats. Yours truly, Chum To the Clerks of the County uourts oi ine ataie oi xen nessee. You are hereby requested to issue to eaoh constnhin in your respective counties, an order requiring him to make diligent enquiry at each house in his civil district for all muskets, bayonets, rides, swords and pistols, belonging to the State of Ten nessee, to take them, into possession and deliver them to you. A reward of one dollar will be paid to the constable for each musket and bayo net or rifle, and of fitly cents for each sword or pistol inus reciaimeu. lou will forward the arras thus ob tained, at publio expense, to the military authorities at Nashville, Knoxvillo and Memphis, as may be most convenient and will inform the Military and Finan cial Board, by letter, addressed to them at Nashville, or the result ot your action and of the expenses incurred. A check for the amount will be promptly forwar ded. It is hoped that every officer will exert himself to have this order promptly exe cuted. IS HAM G. n ARRIS, Gov. &c. Nashvill, Aug. 10, 1861. Army Beverages. It has been discov ered by experience that soldiers on the field and camp duty require some cheering bev erage, and sinco it has been ascertained that alcholio beverages are injurious, the Question arises, "v bat can be substituted or them?" We have a very iseful and practical inferuiation on this head from Col. Dawes, an experienced Indian officer. He recommends that tea and coHee should take the place of liquors, and says "care should be taken to have good coffee and tea provided regularly in each company, and every man should have aome offered to Dlw ino urst tiling iu ue uiuruiug, vviurv doing duty, and also some in the evenning. When properly managed; this 'praotice is alike teneduiaL to health and morals." A very distinguished surgeon in the Indian arm oiy states that from long experience in Dical climates, with soldiers In barracks tro and in the field, he observed that "a cup of warm eoffae taken in tha morning ten ded to prevent iekn." Imprisonment for Non-Payment of the War Tax. From the Louisville Courier. We have published, elsewhere in our pa per this morning, an abstract of the reve nue law, passed by Congress at the session just closed. We must confess we have been astounded at the enormity of several of the provisions of the act in regard to the collection of the direct tax imposed to carry on Lincoln s infamous war. ihe 54th section of the act authorizes the col lectors of the tax and their assistants to ARREST AND COMMIT TO PRISON whoever neglects or refuses to pay the tax. It is said "whom the Gods intend to destroy, they first make mad. It appears to us that Lincoln and his Administration are rushing swiftly to destruction. Wo had supposed that imprisonment for debt hud long ago been abolished ; but Lincoln's Government needs money to carry on the war, and must have money, and hence who ever refuses to pay his tax collector must be imprisoned. We subjoin the obnoxious section of the bill, and bespeaktfor it a careful perusal : The several collectors and assistants ap pointed under tho authority of this act may, if they find property to satisfy the taxes assessed upon any person or author ity of the 49th section of this act, and which such person neglects to pay, as here- nbetore provided, shall have power, and it shall be their duty to arrest such person and commit him to prison to be held in custody until the same shall be paid, with merest thereon, at the rate of six per cant. per annum, trom tho tune when the same was payable as aforesaid, and all fees and charges of such commitment and custody. And the place of custody shall in all cases be the same provided by law for the custo dy of persons committed for any cause by the authority of the United Mates, and the warrant of the collector, stating the cause of commitment, shall be sufficient authori ty to the proper officer for receiving and keeping such person in custody until the amount of said tax and interests, and all fees and the expense of said custody, shall have been duly paid and discharged ; which fees and expenses rhall be the Bame as are chargeable under the laws of the Uni ted States in other cases of commitment and custody. And it shall be the duty of such collector to pay the expense of such custody, and the Bame, with his fees, shall be allowed on settlement of his accounts. And the person so committed shall have the same right to be discharged from such custody as may be allowed by the laws of the State or Territory in the District of Columbia, where he is so held in custody, to persons committed under the laws of such State or Territory for the non-pay- inent of taxes, and in the manner provided by such laws ; or he may be discharged at any time by order of the Secretary of the Treasury. B& The editor of the Dayton (Ohio) Empire, thus speaks his mind to the Lin- colnites, who seem inclined to suppress the free press and freemen ; Thi Spirit or Mobocract. Since the return of the Dayton volunteers there have been studious efforts on the part of the Dayton Journal, and certain Republi can men ot property, to incite mobs against the Empire otfico and Democrats who do not justify this war. We have but a few words to say on this subject. We desire to call the attention of property holders to the fact that we are doing a le gitimate business, under the protection of the Constitution and Laws of the State, holding ourselves amenable for any viola tion thereof. Those therefore, who are urging othors to destroy our property, are inciting to a violation of the law are ren dering their property responsible for the safety of ourown, for we tell these gentle men that if the barriers interposed for our protection by the laws are broken over by them or their emissaries, the doctrine of retaliation will be enforced. It is well known that by fur the largest portion of the property in this city is own ed by Republicansthat when the spirit of lawlessness once breaks loose in our midst twenty Republicans will suffer where one Democrat is molested. We tell these gentlemen frankly, that the first mob started in this city by the Republicans against Democrats will beoomo the signal for inaugurating in our midst a strife at once bloody, vindictive aud destructive If they desire to taste the bittar lruits ot civil war, they bave but to commence mob bingand they will get thoir heart's fill. Such attempts to browbeat, and by brute force compel Democrats to sing puans to the Illinois rail splitter are about played out, and it is high tune such conduct was stopped. Mobs are much more easily raised than controlled whoit raised. They respect neither the rights of property or of por sons. They would as quickly destroy a finely furnished and expensive dwelling, a store, a Bank, as to destroy a printing of fice. As for our course, we will only say that we feel that we are right, and thus feeling, we shall yield not an inch, even though we were certain our office would be mobbed. We shall continue in our course reirardless of all consequences. We have been indorsed by the democracy oi Montgomery with an enthusiasm ana unanimity never excelled. We shall not betray their confidence. We copy the following from the Chicago (111.) Times: The Washington correspondent of the Spring' field Republican write: "The President is very firm. To all who despair putting down the rebell ion be says, 'Remember that it U jubt as necessary to conquer the rebels, to bictt CKXS7 Tinas or ariKATHN, as il U fcr the purpose of preserving lbs Cnioa.

A Significant Parallel. A Liver pool (Eng.) paper, in commenting upon the civil war in America, make a perti nent reference to the opinion entertained by some of the wisest British statesmen about the revolutionary war. It also urges upon the British Government the impor tance of taking measuresto induce the United States to reoocnize the'Southcrn Confederacy. The writer says. 41 mutt come at hut to thi. We can see no other solution of the difliculty. The Northern State have the power to prolong the war indefinitely. Tbe Southern, if de feated in tba field, eanuol be finully sub dued.

A arentlenian who went over in the same stcniuer, inform us that Mr. Daly has a contrast tn furnish 80,000 pairs of shoes for the Fouthern troopa. at 12.23 per pair, apd tbat he has placed it. in England at rotes which itit urtf him a profit of 80 cents per pair. Our in formant states that business there is ret civ itig an impetus- from tho luri otders for dry goods, hoofs and shoes, trunks, &e., which aro being given by Southern mer chant, several of whom are in England purchasing goods for cash. Mr. Daly buys men's russet brogans for 75 cents, men's Congress boots, oak leather and sewed at 2, ladies' Congress boots, 99 cents to 31.12, and other goods In this line in proportion. Thoy are paid for by draft on Frazier, Trenhum 4 Co., Liverpool.

A line ot steamers, intended to run be tween Liverpool and Charleston, S. C, ( now neany ready. Tha first vessel is ad vertised in the Liverpool papers to leave August 15th, (the time has since boen ex tended, we believe, to September 15th.) and when our informant left it was actual loading with these goods. How they aro to eludo the blockade is not stated; bat i( is probable that tho Southerners who have been unsparing in their promises of direct trade, and have depicted its advantages to- hnghshmen in glowing colors, expect aid from thence to insure the safe carriage and delivery of their purchases. V W hether these anticipations are well grounded or not, they correspond with the very sanguine expectations of Southern men in both respects. At any rate, goods to the amount of million and a halt of dollars have been purchased by Southern merchants for cash, and a portion of them are loading in swift sailing steamers, by which means they may, perhaps, expoct to run the blockade, if the privilige of going iu under British guns is denied them. i.

It is painful to think how many friends will bo.seperat-d and es tranged by our unhappy disunion. May (iod re-unite our several bonds of friend ship, and turn our hearts to peace 1 I can say in sincerity that I bear animosity against no one. Wherever the blauio aiay bo, tho fact is that we are in the midst of fratricidal war. I must side either with or against ray section ot country, 1 can not raise my hand against my birthplace, my home, my childreu. I should like, a- bove all things, that our difficulties might be peaceably arranged, and still trust that n merciful God, whom I know will not un necessarily afflict us, may yet allay the fury of war. Whatever may be the result of tho contest, I foresco that the country will have to pass through a ternblo ordeal, necessary expiation, perhaps, of our na tional aina.
