Four Years Ago!
Just four years ego Geic. Btjbvbidx, at the head
of a gallant Union army, marched into JLnoxville,
and a gang of traitors marched out rather, they
tcranMed out tome crossing the river in ferry
boats, some in canoes, some mounted on horses,
some on mules, and some on foot-back. Some few
remained, and made speeches of welcome to the con
quering General, and planted themselves at the
Prevoft Office to vouch for the loyalty of disloyal
men. Somo men, loyal through the war, now say :
"Damn the Government of the United States, if I
had known bow the war would end, I would have
been on the other side." So we go, and so we
change.
The State Guards.
Captain Grisham's company, from Washington
county, was disbanded at Jonesborough on Satur
" day last, and paid off. They have been in the ser
vice for four months, being one of the first compa
nies mustered into the service, and were paid
$8,000. That was a good company and was well
officered and drilled. All but five or six com
panies, out of seventeen, have been musterod out
and paid off, and the few remaining companies will
be as booh as the rebel bushwhackers west of the
mountains will behave themselves and allow quiet
to reign.
Burglars at Work.
This is the ftfctt town in America for house-robbers
to operate in. They can enter dwellings and
stwes at all hours of the night, carry olf all they
watt, and nover be molested. Aware of tha fact,
the robbers are doing a thriving business. If any
one bas yet boon caught, we have not heard of the
case. Go in, robbers, yen will not be disturbed in
this lenient town f
Forking; Orcr the Money.
Last eek the Governor appointed a Receiver on
tbe Memphis and Ohio Railroad, that Road being
in arrears iurith the State some $72,000. Since then
the following dispatch has come to hand. The
money is thje end of the law, and as fust as the do
faultirg companies pay up they can have their roads
back. The Governor is not ambitious to run 'a
dovven Railroads. The State must have her dues,
M itilen?s to have them :

The Governor has placed the North-Western
Railroad in the hands of Col. lnnis, as the Receiver,
a good and experienced man. The Road is 170
miles long, and owes the Slate $200,000 of interest
on Bonds up to July last.

General John A. Logan.
Tha rKl in the late canvass had the impudence

jruitbeJ patriot offered to stump the State for Ethe
A frtV&a feas handed us a copy of a speech
Slivered by Gen. Logan at the late session of Con.
gress,' from which we make a fow extracts which
ehow dearly how he would have stumped with
Etheriigc lie would have given him the same
sledge-hammer blows he gave his party in the fieid
during the war. Gen. Logan, in the following,
gives the whole defense of our loyal State Govern
ment:
'What is the basis unon which tre fought? Sim
ply that the rebellion was a crime. We triumphed,
Now, upon what have we legislated? Simply that
relellion was a crime, and we will triumph again.
Tie people will never require us to fight on one
prnciple and legislate on anotner.
Of the propriety and necessity of the disfmnchise-
mtnt of rebels, be says :
The jrovernment that is organized so loosely and
administered so feebly that traitors of yesterday can
be sraong the rulors of to-morrow, can neither long
survive nor long deserve to survive. And this Gov
ernment can have n enemies half as much to be
droaded as that whining fnetd whe would clothe
with power in this Government to-morrow tne man
whose blade was drawn to stab tho Constitution and
Union but yesterday."
Further on be says:
""When the rebels of the South begin properly to
repent and find moral courage enough to make be
fore the world a manly acknowledgment of it, then,
add not till then, will I take into consideration the
question of forgiveness at all. I have no premium
to offer in the shape of forgiveness to the insolence
of an obstinacy that deigns not to ask for that for
giveness. I would open a jrulf between treason and
loyalty wide enough to make the dwellers on the
opposite shores strangers, and deep enough to swal
low legions in its arms. I would fill it with waves
of fire, through which no unrepentant living thing
could swim, and over which no soaring philanthro
py could fly and survive. Sickly sentimentalism is
a creat crime-breeder. Impunity for one crime
provokes the perpetration of many."

East Tennessee University.
We understand that Professor Frank M. Grace,
a graduate of this Institution in the class of 1849,
will assist in the work of instruction the coming
session. His services will be devoted more especi
ally to the Englifih Department, for which he is ad'
mirably fitted. The President, Mr. Humes, will
exercise the coming Collegiate year a more intimate
superintendence over the school than heretofore;
and with the full corps of teachers now provided,
the Institution oners increased advantages to youth,
and eives trood Dromise of enlarged usefulness. We
0 C3 A -
heartily wish it success. Last week we alluded to
the fact that a considerable portion of the tudents
were sons of farmers from the adjacent country, and
hope to see more of them enter its halls this au
tumn, that their minds may be trained and inform
ed for the duties of mature life. What is wanted is
the diffusion of sound learning among the children
of the pooplo. East Tennessee University is doing
its part towards this end. It offers capital opportu
nities of instruction at the lowest possible rates of
tuition. Let us have general education on Chris
tian principles. Roll the ball along I And let
every man do something to keep it moving. Has
he a son who is not yet of mature age ? It may
not be possible to give him a thorough College
course; but one or two year's education by capable
teachers will be of great advantage to him in after
years, if he improves his time. He will thank his
father for it more than for the value of one or two
years' labor in money. And let parents teach their
children to be studious at school and to obey their
instructors in all right ways, and so if the instruc
tors do their duty, the family and the school will
go hand in hand together, and the boys and girls
will grow up to be valuable members of society, an
honor to their parents, friends and teachers, and
possessed of means of harmless pleasure in them
selves worth more than gold and silver.
Obituary.
Died, in the State of Tennessee, on the 1st day of
August, 1867, of Radical fever, Consekvte, infant
daughter of Beelzebub and Southern Confederacy.
The mother of the deceased lost her lifo in giving
birth to Conservio. Her father being of rather a
dissipated character, the deceased did not receive
the proper training. The consequence was she was
much neglected and despised by all persons of de
cency. Although young, she manifested a remark
able tenacity for falsehoods.
In the spring of 18G7 little Conservie received a
erere attack of Union League. The little thing
writhed and groaned under its sufferings, but bore
them with uncqualed patience and endurance. On
the 1st day of August there seemed to be a renewal
of the attack, and she triumphantly left this part of
the world to go home to her father and mother.
Iler funeral sermon will be preached at Confede
rate oads, by Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby, on or
about tho 10th of December.
All mourning friends and relatives are invited to
bo in attendance. No cards. Neither is there ex
pected to be any procession.

Conservative Liars,
Major General Daniel E. Sickles, who lost a leg
in the Union army, and who proved himself at
Fredericksburg, Antiotam, and on various battle-
Helds to be one of the greatest of the Federal Gene
rals, is just now the object of Rebel-Conservative or
Conservative-Rebel hatred. This is not unnatural.
Though ne politician, a Colonel in the Regular ar
my, is a Radical (that is loya!) in sentiment, and,
without looking to political results, endeavors to
faithfully carry out the provisions of the " Act of
Con gross for the more efficient govemmeat of the
Rebel States."
No soldier, whatever his services to the country,
and no private citizen or civil officer, however ex
alted his character, who faithfully discharged bis
duty as an officer or citixon, but is made the target
for the calumnious shafts of Conservatives or rebels.
Judge Butler's Successor.
There is quite an excitement in Judge Butler's
circuit as to who shall succeed him in office. There
are Tour or five loyal men who are candidates for
the petition, and we are within bounds when we say
the Governor U received, from first to last, a half
a bushel of letters and petitions favoring the ap
pointment of one or another of the candidates. The
ran , " Uw rnT that after the registration is
completed, and so reported, vacancies of this kind
occurring .hall be fiUod by fc
pi. The presumption i8 lhat tte registration is
comp ete, and so reined, and if o an election will
be ordered.
But the Governor is urs t0 order
at once. His reply is, that there U no vacancy, and
that it will be time cntugh to order the election
when Judge Butler resigns. The loyal part? in
lhat circuit have ft majority of 8,000 votes, and iun
elect a Judge if they work in harmony, it js vaatly
ituporUct U.at we elect a loyal and true man. But
if we get Into a quarrol over four or five candidates,
ome Conservative will be elected, and we shall de
ve defefct.

Hon. Hannibal Hamlin o n the Political
Situation.
At the Republican Convention for Penobscot
county, Maiae, in Bangor, on the 22d ult., ex-Vice-President
II ami in being called upon, made a short
address, of which the Bangor Whig gives the fol
lowing synopsis :
He thought tho present was a time for action ra
ther than words. The words that are used, if any,
should be short, sharp and decisive. There was no
hour during the war of the rebellion when there was
greater responsibility placed upon ns than rests up
on us to-day. We are not out of our trials or our
dangers. Unfortunately in some respects, but for
tunately in others, we have a national Executive
who seems bent upon thwarting the tational will
and preventing a proper and Just reconstruction.
Reconstruction should never be completed except
upon the fullest basis of popular justice and liberty;
and it is our bounden duty to see to it that no set
tlement should be made on any other basis. JNei
ther can we do it. Rough hew them as we may,
there is an overruling Providence that will shape
our ends. Air. uamlin proceeded to examine the
arts of President Johnson, and decided that his
usurpations and wrongs have opened the eyes of the
blind, and unstopped. the ears of the deaf, to see and
hoar what is true, right and just. Mr. Johnson's
acts and policy were necessary to educate the pub
lic mind up to the right point; and hs was fully
impressed that the people will have these things
seuiea on me ngct aaa proper oasis.
Obstacles to reconstruction in Georgia
Letter from Gen. Pope.
General Popo, in a letter to General Grant, speaks
rather disrespectfully of General B. H. Hill, for in
augurating in Georgia an anti-reconstruction poli
cy, and endeavors to connect President Johnson
with Hill's movements by remarking that Hill was
pardoned only a few weeks ago. Pope says :
"In my judgment, the condition of affairs in the
bouthern Mates, even should reconstruction be sat
isfactorily accomplished, will, of necessity, be a re
production, in a more or less modified degree, of
what now exists in 1 ennessee, unless some measures
are adopted to free the country of turbulent and
disloyal bodies of men belonging to this reactionary
parly. Whilst they remain in the country exercis
ing he baneful influence whicif they undoubtedly
possess, there can be no peace. I believe in Ala
bama and Florida, there is less dancer to be appre
hended from them than in Georgia, but in all these
States so much of the danger, riot and disorder
which disgrace Tennessee is imminent, that it seems
to me it would be wise to use all practicable meas
ures to remove from the State in progress of recon
struction cause wheih now endanger Tennessee's
loyal government."

Three long letters are before us from a Bishop ;
from a Christian Bishop; from one lately invested
with episcopal robes. They are letters about " The
Church in Etst Tennessee." In advance, one would
judge surely these letters must have great interest ;
for none can deny that the field is one of thrilling
history' TSast!Tennessee has been a battle-ground
for thirty years. What a stirring militant record
during those years has been made of this sacred soil
and its honest-hearted, loyal and liberty-loving
people! Americanism versus Calvinism Brown

and Pedo Baptists, Brownlow and Graves ; Brown

Confederacy, praying for the Confederacy, fighting

Conference to ascertain whether their double dis
loyalty, i. e. their bad faith to their own 23d article
of religion and their defection to their government
were real and genuine ; 'when and where they were
converted; whether their conversion was radical,
and when satisfied that it was so, rewarding the
newly fiedged converts or rather ptrttrts, with hon
org; punishing the Limolnites as they were mildly
called Tories as they were severely called with

The war over, these reverend aiders of rebellion
came back to re-occupy the moral wastes made such
by their apostacy. ileanlime, loyal men and wo
men had rallied and organized themselves, by thou
sands, under the banners of & Methodism loyal to
its own creed, to God and to country ; and they oc
cupied and they still occupy the Churches they
built. Behold the field! behold the forces. The
three letters are of these. Certainly, then, they
must have interest. They were written too by one
who was himself no laggard in the cause; by one
who gave the weight of his personal and official in
fluence to the bad cause of rebellion ; who, indeed,
if public fame speaks truly, gloried in that cause,
enshrined it in his heart, sanctified it by his prayers,
and still holds it in grateful, hono.red remembrance.
These letters I propose to review. If my notices
seem long and sharp, I ask the indulgence of rea
ders; for the letters, J.hemBelves, are long, acrimo
nious, and reckless of statement, and they breathe
& malignant spirit, not engendered of grace nor
teaching to charity. Written from his stand-point
and with his sources of information, it would be
strange if they did not contain statements which
some would regard with surprise and dissent, and
others with incredulity, not to say with indignation.
A man writing of events or circumstances in which
he himself has been an active, earnest partisan,
would very naturally color his statements with his
own peculiar feelings and prejudices, and so misap
prehensions and misstatements might naturally oc
cur without criminal design on his part. Such, we
would charitably hope, is the fact in this instance ;
but whether it is or not, the contradiction which
truth and justice demand may not be withheld.
When those statements are grossly and maliciouly
false, the utterer is accountable for culpable igno
rance or for criminal recklessness in making them.
The letters are a long and loud wail over the
naughty doings of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in East Tennessee. Their style and spirit can hardly
be said to comport with the moderation and charity
of a Christian Bishop. I give a few specimens, not
now for the purpose of fully answering them, but
to illustrate the temper of the writer :
" That Church (the Methodist Episcopal) ha3 re
lied on such aid. Their agents have counted on
mobs and consented to be helped by them; and
truth obliges me to go further ; when the mob spirit
has flagged, they have, in known instances, stimu
lated it." "Like Bummers after watches
and jewelry, these ecclesiastical raiders sought our
Church registers and class books. They were the
basis of wholesale operations." " Northern
Methodism in East Tennessee is a practical aposta
sy." xneir pulpit nas degenerated into a
hustings. This seems to be their evangel : Now
abideth faith, hope, and loyalty, and the greatest
f these is loyalty; Ordinary loyalty will not suit
them ; it nnjt be their orL" " Tk fn-ror
the extremes measures. Having begun confiscation
on their own account, of course, tney favor it in
full. Their correspondence inflames the Northern
mind against the South and invokes grinding meas
ures, xney lena tnemseives, witn au good con
science doubtless, to such misrepresentations of facts
and public opinion, as justify the relenting con
science of the ruling majority in laying on a heavier
hand. The word rebel and loyal have served them
instead of arguments, and title deeds and doctrine
pretty much their stock in trade."
These extracts will suffice to convince an impar
tial reader, either that the people of whom the wri
ter speaks are very naughty wicked even or else
that the statements are reckless and uncharitable.
And who are they? The people, ministers and
laymen, whom he thus accuses, are numbered by
thousands. They include many against whom sus
picion has never dared to lift its aceusing finger;
whose moral characters are as spotless as can be
found among erring, fallen humanity; who have
established a character for fair, honest dealing,
moral integrity and devoted piety, which cannot be
successfully assailed, even by a man wearing a bish
op's lawn, who goes out of his way to accuse them
of crimes which, if true, would consign them to a
penitentiary.
Mr. Stanton.
The New York Commercial Advertiser truthfully
and justly says of Mr. Stanton :
" We are not likely to forget or undervalue the
service rendered by Mr. Stanton to our Govern
ment in 1860. He discovered, in Buchanan's Cabi
net, a conspiracy to seize the Archives, prevent the
inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, and usurp the Gov
ernment. Thus far, Jake Thompson, Cobb, Slidell,
Mason, Benjamin, 4c, proceeded, with the co-operation
of Toucey, when Mr. Stanton, with Governor
Seward, wisely countermined to prevent that ca
lamity. Judge Holt was loyal. General Dix was
brought into the Cabinet. The intended coiw d'etat

while Mr. Lincoln was being swern, Generals Scott
and Wool standing by their guns, planted in the vi
cinity of the Capitol, with less than a thousand
Regular troops for its defence. Floyd, the seces
sion Secretary of War, and Toucey, the secession.
Secretary of the Navy, had the troops and the shipi.
of the Government sent out on distant service.
We believed then, as we firmly believe now, that,
but for Edwin M. Stanton, traitors would have
usarped the Government on the 4th of March, 1860."
Thi McMinnville Enterprise says :
The result of the election in this State is already
beginning to show itself in a tide of immigration
to our State. Several parties have recently visited
our sections in search of farms. And what is re
markable, they are generally highly pleased with
it ana many of them buy at once. An elderly gen-
tivuinu liviu juq came some two weets ago to look
out a location for a number of persons who propose
immigration in a body, some twelve or fourteen
families. He had been to othcr States on the same
errand. On viewing the lands in our country, with
its fine water, the cheapness of the lands, together

pleased, and returned for the purpose of removing
his family in the month of October. The other
families who prepose coming we understand are men
of means, some of 51,500, others of three, four and
live thousand dollars which they wish to invest.
We anticipate quite an influx of immigration to our
country tne coming autumn.

On Thursday, August 2Dtb, there was agreat
Catherine of the Radical yeomanry at -fmcastle.
The day wa all hat could be desired, cool, clear
and refreshiik. From eight to eleven in the morn
ing, the people continued to pour into the Powell
Yalley Road from all quarters, from mountain,
ridge, plain ad valley, men, women and children,
in coach, buggy nd waggon, on horseback and on
foot, in their gayest attire and with their happiest
faces. A hal was made ajout a mile from town,
and the procttsion was put in line by the marshals
of the day. A; great concourse was already in town
from up tha valley. The roll of drums and the
lively notes of tho fifes made the morning air vocal,
and many a biautiful banner streamed in the breeze,
About two tiousand persons -were present. The
procession maiched through the town to a neighbor
ing grove, wbpre a stand for the speaker had been
erected, and a table, as long as the longest appetite
could desire, spread its tempting viands
The exercises were opened by n address from
Mr. James Large, after which the Hon. Horace
Maynard delivered one of his usual able and effec-
I tive speeches, rehearsing the past from the rising of
the sun of rebellion to the going down tnereoi.
Hon. L. C. Honk followed in one of his happiest
efforts, provoking such continual laughter that tho
writer's face has hardly yet got into its own proper
shape, and his sides ceased from aching. He said
the Conservative ticket in this State was headed by
Davis. 1 theridge and the Devil, and the Devil was
the best man of the three. Col. Henry R. Gibson
closed the exercises by congratulating the people
upon their late glorious triumph, and promising
them a good Radical for our next President.
The gathering was amazingly largo for a single
county. There was no disturbance, no quarreling,
and not a rude word heard during the day. A more
orderly, thrifty, contented and law-loving crowd
never was seen anywhere in any county. No acci
dent marred the occasion. Tt came and went, i
happy, auspicious, memorable event.

The Secret History of FortSumter.-ln-
puDiisnea Kebel Documents.
. Under the lieadintr of " The Seerod liis
tory of Fort Sumter," the Times publishes
a collection of Rebel documents, obtained in
South Carolina, which throw Borne licrht
upon the movements which immediately
preceded the war. . It appears from a letter
written by (governor Sickens, or boutn
Carolina, addressed to President Buchanan
on the 17th of December, 18C0, that the
Rebels demanded possession of the forts in
Charleston harbor, three days before the
bouth Carolina Convention passed the or
dinance of secession. This letter is as fol

GOVERNOR I'ICKENS TO MR. BUCHANAN.
Columbia, December 17, 18G0.
. Strictly Confidential
My Dear Sir With a sincere desire to
prevent a collision of force I have thought
proper to address you directly and truth
fully on points of deep and immediate in
terest. -
I am authentically informed that the forts
in Charleston harbor are now being thor
oughly prepared in turn, with effect, their
guns upon the interior and the city. Ju
risdiction was ceded by this State expressly
for the purpose of external defence from
foreign invasion, and not with any view
that they should be turned upon the Stato.
in an ordinary case ot mob rebellion per
haps it might be proper to prepare them for
sudden outbreak. But when the people of
the State, in sovereign convention assem
bled, determine to resume their original
powers of separate- and independent sov
ereignty, the whole question is changed,
and it is no longer an act of rebellion. I
therefore Most respectfully urge that all
work on the forts be put a stop to for the
present, and that no more force may be
ordcrod there.
The regular Convention of the people of
the State of South Carolina, legally and
properly called under our Constitution, is
now in session, deliberating upon the era-
vest and most momentous questions, and the

THE LETTER WITHDRAWN.
In the meantime," however, Mr. Trescott
became alarmed at the contents of the let
ter, and after consulting with General Bon
ham and General McQueen, the three tele
graphed to Governor Pickens for authority
to withdraw the letter. This was immedi
ately given; and on the morning of the
-1st Mr. Trttscott received the missive back
from Mr. Buchanan. The motive for this
action on the part of. 35r, Trescott and Gen
erals Bonham and McC?i en would be left
m obscurity but for a leLr of the former
to Governor Pickens, explaining fully the
reasons that prompted them. This letter
tells Governor Piekes that the withdrawal
of the letter was "most opportune;" that
President Buchanan had removed Colonel
Gardiner (the predecessor of 3fajor Ander
son) from command at Fort 3Ioultrie, "for
carrying ammunition from tha nraonal .it.
Charleston; that Buchanan had refused to
fru 'cinforcemcnt3 to the garrison there.
That he had 'accepted the resignation of
the oldest, most Ptninftvit. nnd Viiffhst. mem.
ber of his Cabinet (General Cass) rather
than consent to send eu additional force;'
mat the writer felt assured that at the
moment, Buchanan could not have gone to
the extent of action yoa desired (to-wit:
The giving np of Fort Suuiter,) and that
if forced to answer the letter then, he would
tave taken Btich ground as would have
prevented his even approaching it hereaf
ter; that the writer war perfectly satisfied
the status of the garrison would not be dis
turbed;' and that the i withdrawal of the
letter 4 was a great relif to the President,
who is most earnestly anxious to avoid an
issue with the State or i1s authorities, and I
think has encouraged his dispositien to go
as far as he can in this 'matter.'"
ANDERSON'S OCCCPATIOa" OP FORT SUMTER.
South Carolina troops having been ordtr
ed by Picken3 to the. jbrts in Charleston
harbor, two days after Anderson's occupa
tion of Fort Sumter, Brigadier General
Simons informed Pickens that the Rebel
forces had been placed in untenable posi
tions, inasmuch as Sumter commanded all
the other forts, Simons lecommended the
calling of a council of war to decide upon
this question, but Picken3 refused, writing
as follows : j ;
"Headquarters. January 2, 1861.
11 Sir Y our extraordinary report I received
last night, and have only to say that I do
not pretend that the orders and disposition
of the forces in Charlestan harbor are at all
perfect or. beyond the criticism of military
rule. " But,- in the first) place, there was
when I came to the citj- a distinct pledge
of faith between tho Government at Wash
ington (take note of tlis Mr. Buchanan)
and those who had a right to speak for

ly as they then were, and that there should
be no increase of forco. or any reinforce
ments sent from abroad until our commis
sioners presented thcmselves at "Washing
ton .and mado regular negotiation for the
forts. I acted with corJfidcnce upon this
pledge. Suddenly we were surprised from
the step taken by Major Anderson, now
acknowledged and proclaimed by the late
Secretary of "War (Floyd, namely,) to be in
open violation ot tho faith of the Govern
ment. He abandoned Fort Moultrie and
burnt and spiked the guns, and tho first re
port was that he destroyed Ford Moultrie.
lie traefoiTod ihftgarrionn io FeytStittioi j
which, of course, was the strong and com
manding position. I had thus suddenly to
take immediate steps to try and prevent
the further destruction of public property,
and with this view I ordered the occupa
tion of Sullivan's Island, but not to occupy
Fort Moultrie unless it could be dono with
out too much loss, and to reconnoitre and
ascertain if there were mines as reported.
They found none, and to put out the fire
and prevent further destruction they oc
cupied the fort. And the same grounds
were taken as to Castle Pinckney."
in another letter I'ickens refused to
yield to any council of war." Neverthe
less council was held January 9, at which
the following recommendations were made
by Colonels Gwynne, White, Trapier and
Maiiigault:
" V e are unanimously and decidedly cf

methods of attack on that fortress (whether
by surprise, by open assault, or by strata
gem,) as uncertain in their results, and as,
even if successful, involving probably much
sacrifice of life our dependence and sole
reliance must be . upon batteries of heavy
ordinance, at the least until a deep impres
sion has been made upon the garrison, in
its morale as well as in its physique, by an
incessant bombardment and cannonade of
many hours duration. When this impres
sion shall have been made, and a demand
for a surrender refused, are of opinion that,
with its battlement mutilated, its embra
sures beaten in, and its garrison weakened
by casualties and disheartened by surround
ing circumstances, this strong fortress
would fall with comparative case before an
assaulting party,"
The letter of instructions given by
Pickens to Col. Hayne, who conveyed to
Washington the formal demand for the
surrender of Fort Sumter, was as follows :
" You arc now instructed to proceed to
Washington, and there, in the name of the
Government of the State of South Carolina,
inquire of the President of the United
States whether it wa by his order that
troops of the United States were sent into
the harbor of Charleston to reinforce Fort
Sumter. If he avows that order, you will
then inquire whether he asserts a right to
introduce troops of the United States with
in the limits of UUS State, to occupy Fort
Sumter; and you will in case of his avowal,
inform him that neither will be permitted
and either will be regarded as his declara
tion of war against the State of Sonth
Carolina. "The possession can
not become now a matter of discussion or
negotiation. You will, therefore, require
from the President of the United States a
positive and distinct answer to your demand
for the delivery of the fort. And you are
further authorized to give the pledge of the
State to adjust all matters which may be
and are, in their nature, susceptible of val
uation in money in the manner most usual,
and upon the principles of equity and jus
ticc alwaj'S recognized by independent na
tions, for the ascertainment of their rights
and obligations in such matters.

The effect of the Tennessee election th
canvass which preceded it and the rebel

" I could not restrain myself from tele

Circular.
I. The General commanding had hoped that the
citizens of Tennessee weald to demean thsmielyefl
that the State troops would no longer be necemary
for the protection of loyal citizens, and accordingly
had ordered tho muster out of the greater portion
of the forK. -
.But reliable information havins reached these
Headquarters that the disloyal citizena, or outlaw
backed up by the aforesaid disloyal citizens, at or
near Franklin, Hartsville, Gallatin, Jacksoo: and
manv other Ttortion.1 nf 1ndril and West Tennes
see, have been threatening, and in many instances
nave used violence, to drive loyal and law abiding
citizens from their homes ; forbearance in such cases
is no longer a virtue, aad there will be no more
State troops disbanded; but instead they will be
stationed in the rebellious localities until the dis
loyal citizens or outlaws are dealt with, for their re
bellious and seditious conduct, and the parties who
have been threatened or driven away are advised to
at once enter suit before some civil tribunal for the
wrongs and grievances done them br these rebels,
outlaws or disloyal citizens, and the commanding
officer of Tennessee State Guards at any or all of
those places will aid and assist, with all the forces
under their command if necessary, the civil officers
in arresting and bringing to trial all such offenders,
and will guard prisoners that mar be committed to
jail that they may not be turned out or allowed to
escape tnrough tha negligence of jai lors.
The Tennessee State Guards will onlv be kent so
long as disloyal citizens or rebel outlaws make it
necessary for the protection of all loyal citizens.
It was the intention of the Geaeral commanding
to dispense with the most of the State Guards, so as
to reduce the expenses of the State, but so long as
it may be necessary, the troops will be kept, and
disloyal tax-payers will help to bear the burthen.

LATER DEVELOPMENTS
The thread of events is next ref timed
under Mr. Lincoln's administration, in a
curious document by Pickens, entitled
secret Cabinet History in Reference to Fort
Sumter." It is dated " State of South Car
olina, Headquarters, August 3d, 1861. The
following is an extract:
u I know tho fact from Mr. Lincoln's inti
mate friend and accredited agent, Mr. La-
mon, that the President ot the United
States professed a desire to evacuate Fort
bumter, and he (Mr. Lincoln) actually
wrote me, after his return to Washington,
that he would be back in a few days to aid
m that purpose. .Major Anderson was in
duced to expect the same thing, as his notes
to me prove, 1 know tho fact that Mr. Fox,

lesicu againsiic. a now believe tnat was all
a scheme, and that Fox's disgraceful expo
dition was gotten up in concert with Mr.
Lincoln merely to delude the Northern
public into the belief that they intended to
sustain and protect Major Anderson, when
in fact they decided to do no such thing,
and acted with the deliberate intention to
let the garrison perish, that they might
