Napoleon in Trouble.
The Emperor NAPOLEON may be at once
the ablest and profoundest statesmatt Of
the time ; but it would he well for the
warmest admirers of the policy of duplicity
and usurpation to hold their judgment in
reserve till time determines the verdict.
The Mexican enterprise, till within a short
time, seemed quite an artistic transac
tion. But the course of French politics
reveals such a topsy-turvey of blunders
in this respect, that we cannot look upon
it, however fine the spirit of specula
tion which dictated the Mexican expedi
tion, as anything else than a case of
wicked improvidence at the expense of ths,
people of France. It has developed au op
position to the Emperor's policy which is
steadily growing - more determined and
strong. In the present troubled state of
Europe, the Mexican difficulty only renders
the imperial perplexities " eonfesim worse
confounded." There is a spirit of liberty
not yet at rest in France, to which the Em
peror has more than once been compelled to
confess his responsibility, and NAPOLEON
has taken the worst means to satisfy this
spirit by putting an Emperor over Mexico.
If the ultimate object of a Mexican Empire
is to recruit the wasted treasury of France,
millions winch Fiance cannot afford must
be sacrificed upon a venture. In accordance
with the custom of despots, who gamble
with the liberties of peoples, he will demand
some reward frona Mexico for the gracious
favor of having conquered ft. On the
wretched fiction of a half forgotten debt
'which it was pretended Mexico owed to
France, the Emperor has made a war of
conquest almost avowedly for the purposes
of robbery. He will ask pay for his piracy
from the very country he plunders, and ex
pects to obtain that pay from the men who
have betrayed it.
It is the baldest pretence that Mexico
owes Nanonnex anything except the debt
which every weak community must pay to
the freebooter. Were every pretence veri
fitd, the sum of reasons would not justify
the costly war he has undertaken, either
with the world or with the people of France.
Is it his design to curb Republican power
in America by placing imperial poveer in
Mexico The war is already a cheek to
our extention in other affairs than our own,
and NAPOLRON is too astute not to know
that from the freest country interne
tonal rights and relations have the most
sacred guarantees. If the occupation
of Mexico expre.sses a Napoleonic idea
that the Union is not to be restored, and
that he may as well seize a foothold for con
tingent advantage, even in that case France
is likely to be a neighbor more unwelcome
than dangerous to the future of the Ameri-
can States, divided or not divided. On the
other band, if a Mexican empire is lcAro
_lames prediction of the restoration of the
south, his position has less safety ; for no
- thing will withstand a united and progres
sive free country as great as this. If Mexico
is to be a padlock upon the United States as
regards European difficulties, the Emperor
is much more innocent than wise ; for the
new Empire will only prove a standing
occasion for American interference with
Europe. Thus, with the intention of im
posing a curb upon America, he only gives
Ibis country a just cause to be quarrelsome.
In making empire in Mexico he weakens
despotism in France, and raises up for the
party of revolution in Europe a formidable
ally.
The complexion of Europe at this hour
makes these considerations more evident
Denmark, Sweden, and Germany are at
war, or on the point of -war; Poland still
asserting itself against the barbarity of Rus
sia ; the spirit of revolution by no means ex
tinct in Italy, Hungary, or even France ; the
Emperor's life again threatened by Carbona
ri ;"universal suffrage asked for in the French
Assembly, and the Mexican enterprise bold
ly condemned ; in brief, a general war and
a general revolution imminent in Europe.
What effect the great revolution of freedom
and slavery in America will have upon this
threatened chaos, NAPOLEON may dread
most. Double-dealing with liberty on the
one hand and despotism on the other is at
best a precarious game. This Elondin policy
demands a certain sort of admiration, but sup
pose the great actor should fall from the pride
which too ninth of that kind of equilibrium
causes I? In a moment of real distress NA
roLEON'S worst enemy will not be Europe,
but the people of France. Tie is et too
tough a substance and too strongly mixed
with the destiny 'of Europe to die weakly
or easily. This doubt, however, remains
there may never be another Nerorzort on
the throne of France.
Whatever may be NAPOLEON'S future, his
present has its trouble. We have no reason
to say that every kingdom which owes a
large debt is going to ruin, but we feel sure
that France cannot afford to be at continu
ous war. A report by M. LARnAnuitx. to
the French Legislative Corps discusses the
Ilexican question with great independence,
and says: " We are continually borrowing ;
we have altogether ceased paying off any
poition of our debt." Here is M. LAI-MA
BIIRE's exhibit :
“We have borrowed two milliards fifty-four mil
lions (E82,1e0000 sterling) by public subscriptiou 5
ore hundred millions (£4,000 000 sterling) of the
Bank of France; about one hundred and sixteen
maliiona (.£4,640,000 sterling) from the army fund a
111,4 time ; then about sixty.seven millions (X2,680,-
000 stellieg) from the same fund for works of public
ht , ; plus one hundred and thirty-one millions (£5,-
240,000 sterling) on Trentenary bonds. We are about
to borrowthree hundred millione(t r 2,000 000 sterling)
in virtue of the law you have recentlfpassed, and
thirty-two millions (.£1,280,600 sterling) on an issue
Of 1,429,620 f. of three per cent. mites, which article
three of the bill now before us proposes. Theag
gtegAte_ 01 these loans since 1851 amounts to tWO
milliards eight hundred millions (.z112,000,000 ster
ling). Moreover, the Minister of Finance tells us
in his report that from 1866 a charge of fifty millions
f.E2,000,000 sterling) will have to be added to the
budget to provide for the guaranty of interest on
railway bonds. This, in substance, is the balance
which we have received from the past. It should
not alarm us, for it is only right to say that simul
taneously with with these heavy burdens the an
nual revenues of France have constantly increased.
The indirect revenues have augmented from twenty
lye to thirtymilliona every year, and yet the balance
between the revenue and the expenditure has long
since ceased to esist; for i twel v eun:throgh the
official accsounts for the lest or fifteen years
you will find that all the budgets show a deficit,
with The exception of 1868, which shows a slight
surplus, owing to extraordinary resoufees.”
Even statesmen among the friendliest to
NAPOLEON entertain the same apprehen
sions with regard to the increasing French
debt. The opinion that no alarm should
be felt because the revenues of France have
increased simultaneously with its heavy bur
dens, is remarkably suspicious, taken in con
nection with the other statement—that NA-
PoLEoN is continually borrowing, and pay
ing nothing. The Emperor's embarass
ments embolden the Opposition. His use
less wars in Cochin. China, Japan, ttc., are
complained of; the abandonment of the
e lean enterprise (consistent with French
honor, of course) is earnestly called for.
Unmistakably, the Emperor's war policy is
regarded a failure --his Mexican scheme a
piece of painfully-protracted Imperial botch
work. At the same time the Preach Oppo
sition take other strong ground on the libe
ral side of politics. The Incleperilleare relre
tells.us of an important meeting of Opposi
tion Deputies, to organize amendments, to
be presented to the French Legislative
Corps, among which amendments are the
following : , _
An amendment intended to combat the system,
of official candidateshipe, sustained by Mat Marie,
Thiess, and Berreyer. An amendment on behalf of
the liberty of the press, the defence to be confided to
MM. Jules iiircori anerouft, and Darimon. An
amendment for individual liberty; M. Marie will
'.speak upon this subject, and wilt attack the taw of
general safety. An amendment for municipal Wier.
ties, having especially for its object to restore to the
.ohies of Paris and Lions the right of electing their
elites ; the amendment to be supported by the-Mar
quis of Andelarre. An amendment forthe evacuation
of Mexico; MM. Thiery Berreyer, and Liticroult
take pot in this discussion."
since this meeting, M. TRIERS, supported
by Imes Favren, has spoken- in favor of
universal suffrage, Which the Emperor is
said to favor remotely. But it appears in
debate that the friends of the Emperor
regard that he has granted all the liberty
that should be desired, while the Opposition
thinks to itself that France is far more safe
with the representatives of the people than
with NArOLEOR ; or, to speak in another
way, if the people had their will, there
mould never have been a war with Mexico.
These various facts throw light upon the
character of the man who must affect to
favor French liberalism while he robs
Mexico.
what is to pay NAPOLEON for his con
quest ? We presume that the Sonora silver
mines could be ceded to France, but we doubt
if the traitors who barter away Mexico are
aware of the price they must pay, even if
N.AroLaorr has reckoned how much he must
lose to sustain an empire thousands of miles
away. The proposed empire must really be
French and not Mexican, for there is an
ineradicable sentiment of liberty in Mexico
'which conquest cannot tame. It will need
another NAPOLEON in Mexico to make this
second usurpation good. French emigre
thin may be reckoned upon ; but, unless
the military safeguards are strong, we
should not wonder if the French would
become more Mexican than the Mexicans
themselves.
NAPOLEON has reason to plead, " Suffi
cient for the day is the evil thereof." His
present day is full of the Mexican evil. How
lie will extricate himself ( 1 ' consistently with
French honor," of course) without estab
lishing and protecting a French empire in
Mexico, it is difficult to see. It is plainly
observable, however, that his own people
would rather have hint abandon both Mexico
and lilaxrittraikfT, for which troubles neither
the Sonora silver mines, the favor of Aus
tria, or the opinion of France, are likely to
compensate him. England readily permits
what it perceives will do him no good, and
looks with only a careless, mercenary eye
upon his crime and blunder. It will give
"much offence," we think, >if NAPOLEON
does not heed the voice of France and the
admonition of America, so finely en
pressed in the sagacious policy of Mr. SEW
ARD.
Later developments appear to prove some
of our speculations. We are told that in
the finest speech of his life the great French
statesman, MMUS, after declaring that
" universal suffrage is the divine right of our
time," and that the "irresponsibility of the
sovereign is the liberty of the country,"
uttered the warning so remarkable when
coming from a statesman who has weather
so much revolution, that the country
would ultimately take its liberties, icwhat
now respectfully asked for was not conceded.
The concessions which M. Turmas demands,
in behalf of the French Opposition, are the
liberties of the press and the people. " Li
berty in parliament," he says, without liber
ty of the press, "is like telling a secret to
ten people with strict injunctions not to men
tion it to an eleventh ;" and " just as you say
to the press, von may criticise within certain
limits, so you say to universal suffrage
you may elect whom you please within cer
tain limits." The warning of M. Trouns
seems the more significant and impressive
that it follows the second conspiracy against
the life of NAronnox. The last we hear is
the rumor of another imperial coup d'etat !
Clearly NAPOLEON'S troubles do not end
with Mexico. It is also apparent that the
French people have never truly forgiven
his usurpation. The tyrant is never safe,
and the people have been actively watching
for their opportunity. The breach between
the Emperor and his subjects threatens to
widen daily, unless he closes it up with
new concessions. Resigning those wea-
pans of power which he has wielded
so long, NAPOLEON'S occupation would
be gone. That the situation of affairs
deeply affects the Emperor may be judged
from a recent speech of consolation, in
which he expresses "confidence in God
and confidence in a mission to accom-
plish. You may be astonished, as I am,'to
see, at so short an interval, men hardly es
caped from shipwreck . again call winds and
tempests to their assistance. God protects
France too visibly to permit the spirit of
evil to once more call forth agitation."
However religiously confident the Empe
ror may be of his own peculiar mission, he
has reason to avoid committing a crime
against the rights of nations, when his own
people threaten to avenge the world.
The Alexandra.
Our anticipationthat the Court of Exche
quer would give judgment in the ease of
the Alexandra on the 11th of January, the
first day of Hilary Term, and not upon the
11th of February, as stated in some news
papers, - was correct. The Judges, it appears,
were divided in opinion, whereupon, ac-
Cording to the British practice in such cases,
the latest appointed puisne Judge of that
Court (Baron noon.), who was in favor
of a new trial being granted, withdrew his
judgment, and the opinion of the majority
then was against the new trial. - Under these
circumstances, Sir ROUNDEL PALMER, At
torney General, gave notice, on the part of
the Crown, of an appeal to the Court of
Exchequer Chamber, against such a deci
sion. At this rate, " the law's delay" Will
probably leave the case in statu quo until
after the termination of the war. The Times
says
"For our own part, we cannot lament the division
of opinion which postpones for many months the
condemnation or release of the Alexandra. Such
equipments as hers may or may not be legal. That
depends on whether the Legislature, in the year 1819,
fortunately provided against evils which the event
has shown to be real, however dimly they may then
have been foreseen. But we have no doubt at all
that legal or illegal equipments of this kind are high
ly impolitic, and might hedome =intolerable annoy
ance to ourselves if we had the misfortune to be at
war. Where thehull, the armament, and the crew
of a privateer are all virtually supplied from the
same port, the animus vendendi and the animus be&
ligtrandi approximate Suspiciously to each other.
We should be the last to sacrifice British shipowners
for the sake of pleasing a foreign Government, but
when the maritime interests of Great Britain hap
pen to coincide with the claims of international
comity, we can see little patriotism in the attempt
to sail a whole fleet of ships' through the foreign
enlistment act."
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Garrison.
On Thursday night, at a meeting in Bos
ton, Mr. WENDELL PHILLIPS and Mr. Wit
min LLOYD GARRISON found themselves
strangely in opposition. Mr. Par',tars
condemned in very plain language the
licy of the Administration, asserting that
the North must either crush the President
into submission, or choose a different leader
for the next four years. "To the Amnesty
Proclamation," said Mr. PHILLIPS, "I say
veto, and will to my dying day." Mr.
GARRISON replied in defence of the Presi
dent, and contrasted Mr. Parmars' late de
claration, "that the President's character
was a sun so bright that we could not see
the few spots on its surface," with his as
sertion in the debate, that Mr. Lriccota was
ready to sacrifice the honor of the North
to a sham peace. Mr. GARRISON affirmed
the President had gone as fast and as far Is
the people would sustain him, and com
mended the spirit and purposes of his po
licy. Then spoke . up Mr. STEPHEN Fos
TER, evidently anxious to do something
startling, and said : " The strangest event
of history was then_ omination by WILLIAM
LLOYD GARRISON, in Tremont Temple, of
the man who is holding the sword of the
Union at the throats of a million of slaves."
There is something yet stranger : it is that
anti-slavery men should thus misunderstand
the President. Mr. Prawns, however, has
always thought, argued, and :declaimed in
italics and exclamation marks. His intellect
is incapable of moderation. A more violent
thinker never lived ; his praise invariably
rises into the most extravagant eulogy—his
censure into the fiercest invective. He,
utterly fails to appreciate the calm impar
tiality of the President, or the profound
anti-slavery spirit of his policy. Mr. Fos
'isles remark about the sword and the mil
lion slaves is merely a gross imitation of Mr.
Partaars' worst style.
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON is, and has
always been, the true leader of the Ameri
can Abolitionist% He has neither the bril
liancy or the superficiality of4rlVlr. Part
ma's. But we believe that no man lives
who is more conscientious than he ; no
man 'who better understands the
.prbaciples
of freedom. Mr. Prumrs always talks
like a tyrant. He permits no difference of
opinion, and to disagree =with him is to
draw down the thunderbolt Far more
liberal and generous is the mind of GA - nal -
sox ; he who has suffered so much from
bigotry has learned the beauty of charity.
When.be was dragged through the streets
of Boston by a mob he was calm ; when
Southern planters offered large rewards for
his head he was calm ; throughout this
war he has been bold, steadfast, and calm,
while Mr. PHILLIPS seemed whirled away
11111
by intellectual excitement. We are sure
that WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON speaks for
the great majority of the old Abolitionists,
certainly for anti-slavery as it is now under
stood by the people of the North.
MR. FERN AIiDOL Woon says the war
must cease. Why? Let us analyse his
reasons : "It was commenced without cause"
—Granted ; but who commenced it ? "It
has been prosecuted without glory" --not
granted ; deeds more glorious never were
done than those of the volunteers of the
North. Mr. Woon slanders the whole coun •
try in denying the glory of Vicksburg,
Chattanooga, and Gettysburg. "It will end
in national impoverishment, disintegration,
and ruin"—Why ? it is fought expressly to
prevent these evils. " Those who favored
this war favored disunion"—for instance,
the President; General GRANT, Generals
MEADE, BUTLER, Berms, two thirds of
Congress, and the vast majority of the
people ! Come, Mr. Woon, we cannot
believe all that. " Peace is the only
hope of restoration"- w -granted ; but war,
energetic, and successful war, is the only
hope of peace. "He was opposed to the
conduct of the South, but was equally op
posed to the conduct of the North, under the
Republican_ policy"—it is no reason why
the war should cease, that Mr. Wool) thinks
his own Government no better than the
treason which attempts to destroy it. Mr.
Woon is giving public " brilliant receptions"
in Washington, which are largely attended ;
we suppose this singular argument is always
introduced to add to the hilarity and hierri
ment of his guests.
Mn. JAMES Bnooss wi ites to the Et:press,
from Washington, that the confiscation act
likely to be passed by congress will deprive
Fouthern men of the means to pay their
debts to Northern merchants after the war.
The amount owing to New York city alone
he estimates at millions of millions. Mr.
BROOKS suggests that the creditors of South
merchants should organize and present
their claims in Washington, and thinks they
can save them through the act. Millions
are now owing to merchants in Philadel
phia ; but it is improbable that any loyal
man will object to necessary legislation for
the suppression of the rebellion because of
possible loss indirectly resulting from it.
It is unlikely that, with or;without confisca
tion, ten per cent, of these Southern debts
will ever be paid. Most of the claims are
utterly worthless, and we cannot see what
light, moral or legal, the creditors of rebels
would have to be indemnified by the Go
vernment for these indirect losses by the
war. Still, Mr. Bnoovs' suggestion might
be acted upon without any impropriety.

full force beyond Bainbridge, they fell back to their
former position.
On Sunday morning, the enemy, seeing that they
had drawn our cavalry as far as possible, made a
desperate attack on our lines with Hood's and
Bushrod Johnson's divisions, led by the Hampton
cavalry.
Observing their desperate determination, General
Sturgis ordered Colonel McCook, commanding a di..
vision of Elliot's Cavalry, to charge on the enemy.
This charge turned the fortunes of the day, which,
up to that time, had been decidedly against us,
Our total loss was about one hundred and fifty.
On Suxidivy we fell back to Strawberry Plains, six
miles from Knoxville, and, on the lath, General
Sturgis fell back to Knoxville. On the same eve
ning he crossed the Holston river, with a view of in
tercepting the enemy at Sevierville.
Gordon Granger's troops, on the 20th, were moving
in the same direction, where 11 battle was pending.
Great anxiety was felt at Knoxville for the result
of this battle, and there was a kind of panic among
the people.
Gen. Foster was eonfldent of thwarting the enemy,
although it is pretty certain that Longstreet has
been heavily reinforced.
Several of the prisoners taken belonged to reg
ments that were fresh from Richmond.
UNION ACCOUNTS PROP& KNOXVILLE.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 29.—The Gazette's Knoxville
correspondent, Writing on the 22d, says our entire
force crossed the Holston at Strawberry Plains, and
fell back to a new position. Our loss at Strawberry
Plains was quite severe in stores. Several caissons
were blown up. and about 200 Stragglers were picked
up by the rebels. After crossing the Holston, Our
troops burned the bridge and everything else likely
to fall into the hands of the enemy, including a con
siderable amount of new clothing.
On the 22d the rebels and our sharpshooters were
skirmishing across the river, six miles above Knox
ville. The movements of the enemy are not clearly
understood. It is supposed that Longstreet will
besiege Knoxville again. Men have been put to
work on the fortifications, and new batteries have
been put in position.
Longstreet has a strong and welldortifted position
in Bull's Gap, whence he can throw his forces into
the valley on either aide with great facility.
Matters will not long remain in their present
position.

- •
Mr DSWES, of Massachneetts, called, up the report of
the Committee on Elections, which concludes with a re
solution that A. I'. Field is not entitled to a seat in this
Rous
Thirty Representative from the State of Lonieiana in
the -eighth Conaresei Mr. Dawes stated the facts
In the case, saying. in all that part of the district made
np of the city el New Orleans, comprising almost the
entire district, certainly mole than 'nineteen- twen
tieths of the inhabitants. there was no opportunity given
to vote at the election. The election, so far as New Or
leans Was concerned. Was suppressed by orders ems;
Datrog directly from the Military Governor of the State.
This auppression was so effectual that not a vote was
cast in the city, and the only constituency Mr. Yield
has is the small pumper of votes already stated, from
the very smell fraction of the district situated outside of
the city limits. In no proper sense could the proceed
ings be treated as an election. It was due to him. how
ever, that the committee should have added the fast.
that the testimony taken before them disclosed abundant
evidence of hie . loyalty to the Government; and of his
temperate and yudiMons efforts to restore the State to the
discharge of its functions as a member of the Union. Re
sides this, Louis ana has never been divided into dia-
Wets in conformity with the laws of Congress.
Mr. RElllistif. of New work, said the House would
reereant to its duty if they did not express its con
demnation of the military order suppfer sins the election,
because the commander thought it was not in accord
ance With law, and he introduced an amendment to the
pending resolution, expressive of such condemnation.
Mr. ehfLTHENS of Delaware, from .the Committee on
Slecoions, said his objection to the admission of Kr.
Field was that there was no civil government in Loui
siana. A military government holds possession of the
State.'and until a Government shall be established, re
cognized by the Government of the United States, or
until Congress shall pass a law under which an election
con be held, he would not recognize any man as a Repre
eentstive from that State.
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, offered the following amend
ment, which wee ruled out of order:
Resolped, That there is no legal authority to hold any
election in the State of Louisiana, and that any attempt
to held en election. by any body of persons, lea usurpa
tion of the sovereign authority of the United States, and,
as such, was Properly forbidden by the military autho
rities.
Remarks of Nr. Field, of Louisiana.
- - -
. .
Mr. FIELD, of Louisiana, spoke in his own behalf.
raying that the Union men or Louisiana had, from the
time the ordinance of secession was passed. maintained
their rights as citizens of ne v er fo rfe ittates. Loyal th eir the Government. they haded any of their
rights to Its protection. or merited a denial to represen
tation in this Hence. He answered the objection that
there was no organization of the State Government by
sending up to the Clerk's table to be read an official list
of the officers of the Slate. ilcludi mg General Shepley as
military governor, judges of the courts. and collectors
of taxes. He had fought against secession to the utmost.
and to the danger 01 hie life. He was never anything
but a, loyal man, and he would always stand by the Rag
wherever it might wave. It appears that men who have
been traitors and disloyitliste are in favor with some gen
tlemen. They never were so with him. He knew, as
far ae his experience and observation in Louisiana was
concerned, that a certain man, who came there fresh
from the battle-field, with his hands reeking with the
blood of loy at men. 'pretended he Could make atonement
for a series of guilty trattaactlene t and was taken into the
church, and there Was more rejoicing over him than
over ninety and nine true and loyal men.
If the &thine of the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Stevens) was true, that Louisiana is not in the
Union. they bad no right to bold elections.
Mr. STEVENS inquired, if Louisiana is lathe Union.by
what right was a military governor appointed ?
Mr. FIELD would like the gentleman to answer his
o question.
. STEVENS said he meant no disrespect.
Mr. FIELD did not se underetand end rammed
his argument. in the course of which he said he had
searched in vain to find the authority by which Go
vernor Shepley struck from the Constitution of Louisi
ana the most important clause in relation to the qualifi
cation of voters

Messrs. Arnold, of Illinois; Rollins, of Missouri,
and Stevens. of Pennsylvania. also bore their testi
mony to the patriotism and valuable public services of
tt e deceased.
Mr. ST AVRNS said it ought to be written in golden
capitals that • • John W. Noell was the first man from a
slave State who introduced a bill for the abolition of
slavery." So conscientious was he, that he asked for
ten million dollars as ciimpersation for the slaves of
Missouri, end the Senate returned the bill providing for
graduel emancipation. Re declared it to be unjust, and
as it was for emancipation, it could not receive his sup
port. Who wonid not take his chance before the Fa.her
f us all then the chance of the vain hypocrites, the
miserable wretches who profess to hold their mission

. . . .
WHEREAS. Many Pennsylvania volunteers are now
and have been compelled to pass through Harriebnior on
their way home to their families and friends. after an
absence cf nearly three years; daring which time they
have been compelled to unlergo hardships and priva
tions while battling for the preservation of the Conan
tPtion and the Union. and, to - the disgrace of the con
stituted authorities, many of these patriotic soldiers
have been unable to find lodgings and rations in
Camp Curtin or elsewhere during the time they have
been compelled to remain here. particularly the 7th
Perin.ylva.i.a Cavalry, Colonel W. IL Sipes. who came
into this city on Tuesday night last, and up to this time
have not bren furnished accompoodatt-ms such as a
patriotic and grateful Government should have prepared
for them, parpceilarly upon those in authority. who
boast of their friendship for the soldiers. Therefore,
be it
" Rea are, That, in the opinion of this House, the mili
tary authorities should immediately make arrangements
for the reception. lodging, and boarding of all returning
volunteers during their temporary stay in this city, and
thereby wipe mit the disgrace which has bran brought
upon the State by thus neglecting those who have al
ready proven their patriotism by actions instead of
words.
A ulbetitlite for the above resolution eras adopted. as

AM FOR EAST TENNESSEE—SPERCICRS
AT TER ACADEMY OF MUSIC . BY HON. N. G. TAY
LOR AND GICN. E. W. GANTT, OF ARKANSAS.—
Last evening the Academy of Music was largely
filled by an attentive audience of , ladies and gentle
men, to hear addresses in behalf of East Tennessee,
by Ron. N. G. Taylor and Gen. E. W. Gantt. There
was a large attendance of members of the Union
League, who occupied seats upon the plattorat.
Governor Pollock presided, and there was manifest
ed the most intense interest to hear the canoe of the
war discussed by the two Southern gentlemen who
now occupy so large a share of the attention of the
people of the loyal States.
In introducing the orators of the evening, Mr.
Pollock alluded to the motives of humanity which
Lad brought together the numbers who filled the
seats in the Academy. The war had shown many
examples of self-sacrifice and earnest devotion.
East Tennessee had pro eminently shone out in the
great contest. [ilipplauee.] The champions of that
suffering people were now present, and would speak
for that loyal and patriotic section of the land. Phi,
ladelphia had never heard the appeal of humanity
or benevolence with indifference. This was a city
as distinguished for its charity as for its loyalty, and
would receive with open arms every lover of, his
country, - whencesoever he might hail. Mr. Pollock
would first Introduce Eon. N. G. Taylor, of East
Tennessee, whose heart throbbed so earnestly in be
half of the Union. [Applause.] He needed no eulo.
glum. His name had always been associated with
whatever was honorable in the history of his native
State and country.
Dir. Tay/or Watt received with much appleilme.
Hencknowledged the honor proffered him in the cordial
reception with which he wee greeted. He then remarked
that lately a thought had occurred to him which had a
hearing, the
country.illustration. upon the present con
dition of the What would be the nurveree w th
on t a man ? What would be the solar system without a
central point of attraction? Remove the sun, and all is
night. Blot out the Federal centre of our Government,
and all is chaos. [Applause.] The central force of the
United States holds in --unison and harmony a perfect
machine, that it may serve the end for which it was es
tablished. .Remove a portion of our beautiful system,
and the whole deteriorates, and loses its prestige. Oar
Government was conceived in wisdom and fore
sight: and bow glorious doss it appear to us, espe
cially at a time like this. But hie object in being
preterit here to-night was not to descant upon the beauties
of our governmental system, nor to discuss the issues of
Politics. lie begged God that the remote of Philadelphia
would never witnese the scenes which his ayes had
seen. and hie heart had melted over. Nor did he come
thebeggar; for the State that Was too proud to bow to
Cotton Ring, was too proud to ask for the alms of
the North. [Applause.] He desired merely to say a
word in praise of the devotion of the people of
Tennessee to the Government of our common fa
thers. East Tennessee had been execrated byr the
Southern Sre.eaters. because she Confederacy. ached
hereelr to the fortunes of the rebel She
nobly resisted the blandishments of Jeff Davis, and
to day East Tennessee is a ruined country In 1812
Tennessee had nobly stood by the Union, and her illus
trious Jackson led onr forces onward. to victory and
glory. In the Mexican war the people
of Tennas
tee were equally enthusiastic in strengthening the
power or the Government In the field and in the Cabi
'set. in the - inselly and at the bar, and everywhere
and al' r ail times, the heart of Beet Tennessee
be st yesterday:he Union. This sentiment was not
oneof it Wes a heritage of the blood. de
sceedieg from sire to son. [Applause]. Witness the
history of the east three years ; she had declared many
times': before the rebellion took shape, that she
would not desert the flag of the Union. On the question
of separation or no separation, East Tennessee took a
firm and emphatic stand. Sho breasted the storm, and
stood erect. like her own everlasting bills. unwavering
and majestic. ehe voted against separation by an over
whelming majcrity. tAaplatse. By and bye, the re
lebel o.
Tennesseed a conscript bill. and all the young
en of Were obliged to place themselves on
the enrolment lists. Then commenced the exodus of the
youth and chivalry of the State. towards freedom and
safety. The speaker described the reign s.f terror
which followed, and - showed how deeply his heart
sympathized with the suffering of hie fellow-citlzene
his own neighborhood. Hut drede ofunwilling men were
forced into the rebel ranks, and had it not been for
Burnelde's army of deliverance, there would not have
been a man left in the loyal homes of East Tennessee.
Now, we witness the gratifying fact that East Tennessee
has furnished to the Federal armies more men in propor
tion to population than any. other State of the IDfnion
Tennessee. for her fidelity to the Union. had Buffered
everything but dishonor, 'Privations, chains, and gib
bets .had been her lot, and desolation and ruin mark her
hitherto fertile fields. Though her limbs are weak
with exhaustion. her heart Is still big with de
votion to the country of our fathers Borne down
under a reign of terror, blacker than the reign of
a Robespierre, her loyalty is still burning brightly!
Thank God Tellaessee was almost free. The grand old
banner floats once more proudly, grandly, gloriously,
triemphantly ov her mot main homes, and them may
it float forever. [Applause. ] It is for the prosperous
People of the North to turn their charitable eye to the
down-trodden populace of . rennessee. Here everything is
happy. Everybody seems content Why is it so?
Why should Tennessee almost die, while you here are
living in luxury and else? While Ireland was famish
ing for want of the necessaries of llfe, a voice of good
cheer cane to her from our happy land. America then
sent forth abundantly out of her own ab evidence. The
gifts were freely given, though the recipients were the
subjects of another country. Now the wail of 'sorrow
comes up to American's from fellow. americans. God
Ease East Tennereee! She is in ruins, but she is grand
oven in her ruins, for already she has won a Place in
history that bas no parallel. [Applause.] The speaker
was proud of East Tennessee, and would rather be a
subject to her, ruined though she be. than be robed in
the raiment , : of a prince: who had traitor' marked upon
his brow. ['Renewed applause.] At, to the queation of
slavery, the speaker maid that the credit for its death did
not Wong to the Abolitionists; that elaPerY Met its
death at the hands of its epeeist custodians.
Mr. Taylor retired amid much applause.
Mr. Pollock then stated that an organization had been
formed for the purpose of assisting the people of Rut
Tenesseee in their (fibrin to resaln their former position
as citizens ct our common country. The ofiletwe of this
relief association were announced. and Mr. Benjamin
Brewster was introduced, who made a short but fervent

had u ade in behalf of the Delon. These noble men

on that platform, but could not stand on it now, for it
bad vanished. He remembered to have listened to

When this Government wee framed there was no more
perfect piece of mechanism than it showed itself to be.
There was no cause why this Government should prove
a failure. But the fathers of the Constitution feared there
was an element of weakness in our volemal body. It

great edre littler which our nation was laboring. At
every Presidential election the question of slavery
turned up. Mr. Lincoln said the country could not be
half elave and half free, and we of the South wanted it
all slave. We knew, with Mr. Lincoln. that there could
net be a permanent peace between slavery and freedom.
The speaker felt that the only was' to protect alayerY
was to go out of the Union, and he Went out of the
Union. He made his fight and got wbipped. [Laughter.]
He was a living specimen of what is meant by the sub
jugation of the Smith, and could the miserably-clad
half-fed soldiers of Jeff Davis he subjugated in the same
way, they would thank their lucky stare for it. Ha was

would have a Government all to ourselves. where this
