OF TENNESSEE
FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION
GRANT/NG THE
SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTJ.
Election Tuesday, Aug. 2, 1864.
The Constitutional Amendments.
We are admonished by the copperhead pa
pers that there is danger in ratifying the
amendments to the Constitution allowing the
soldier a right to vote, because it might be
construed in giving the black soldier also ' a
right to exercise the elective franchise. In
order to convince every doubting mind that
such a construction cannot by any contortion of
the English languor, be placed on the Consti
tution after this amendment has been adopt
ed, we 'publish the first section of the third
article of the Constitution, which reads is
follows :
SECTION 1. In elections by the citizens,
every WHITE FREEMAN of the age of twenty
one years, having resided in this State one year,
and in the election district where he offers to
vote, ten days immediately preceding such
election, and within two years paid a State or
county tax, which shall have-been assessed at
least ten days before the election, SHAI4kENJOY
THE BIGHTS OF AN ELECTOR ; but a citizen of the
United States who had previously been a
qualified voter, of this State, and removed
therefrom, and returned, and who shall have
resided in the election district and paid taxes
as aforesaid, shall be entitled to vote, after
residing in the State six months : Provided,
That WRITE FitEEREN, citizens. of the
United States, between the ages of twenty-one
and twenty -Iwo years, and having resided in
the State one year, and in the election district
ten days, as aforesaid, shall be entitled-to vote
.although they shall- not have paid taxes,.
To this section an amendment is propostid,
in the shape of a new section, and which is to
be ratified by the voters on Tuesday next.
The amendinent to be adopted reads as fol
lows, viz
"Sac rtos 4. Whenever any of the QUAIA
PIED ELECTORS of this Commonwealth.
shall be in any actual military service under a
requisition from the President of the United
States, or by the authority of this Common
wealth, such electors may exercise the right of
suffrage in all elections by the citizens, under
such regulations as are, or shall be prescribed
by law, as fully as'if they were present at their
usual place of election."
Any man of Common sense will at once ob.
serve that this cannot under any circum
stances give the colored soldier a right to
vote. The amendment is as clear as it can
be made THAT NONE BUT Taosi WHO AZE
QUALIFIED ELECTORS in actual military
service may exeroise the riaht
iirtne present Constitution says
expressly that none but "WHITE FREE
MEN" shall be entitled to vote, and the
amendment is merely intended to give sol
diers who are 'qualified voters when at home,
the right when they are absent fighting any
of the enemies of the country—a privilege
which has been denied to them by Judge
Woodward and the Demoorstie s Supreme
Court.
Sorg. Gen. King.
The Pittsburg papers announce the re'sig
fitition of Surg. Gen. King, P. V. This an
nouncement is premature. He tendered his
resignation some weeks since, but it .is not
known Out of offical circles, whether Gov.
Curtin has accepted it; although it is inferred,
from the circumstances which induced Burg.
Qen. King to this step, that the Governor will
be constrained to part with one.of his most
efficient supporters and counsellors. As soon
as the letter of acceptance has been received,
we shall publish it in connection with Surg.
Gen. King's letter of resignation. And in the
meantime we cannot refrain from expressing,
what is the common feeling of this commun
nity, our deep regret at the prospect of losing
socially, professionally and officially, so good
a max Dr. King.
PREPARING TO ENFORCE THE D.TILFT. —lt
should be understood that the statement made
in some papers' to the effect that Grant ex
pects the late call for troops to be filled by
volunteering is untrue, as is also the addition
al statement, that there will be no draft, even
if the call is not filled by volunteering. The
War Department is making all the prepara
tions for the draft, whenever it is needed, and
in fact, the authorities of at least one or two
States are doing very little to encourage vol
unteering, claiming that it is better at this
state of the war to draft. On the other hand,
reports show that in some sections quotakare
being rapidly reduced by enlistments. It is
well known that the term of service of Some
thousands of troops expires this stiminer.
Towns and cities have bad recruiting agents
at work among veterans for a month or more
before the last call, and-with such success that
not a few agents, early and energetic in the
field, report the quotas of their respective
towns nearly filled.
A GENTLEMAN from Wisconsin, says the
Terre Haute Demeer,f, states that the Ger
mans of that State are almost unanimously
for Lincoln and Jehnao - U. The Fremont
ticket is hardly ever mentioned. The Balti
more nominees will sweep Wisconsin by a
vary large majority.
;THE Pineal:ma Gesrms has lately been
enlarged and improved, and now presents arr
appearance at once elegant and attractiv e in
all its departments. It is one of the very
oldest and most reliable jouinala in tfie qoun
ti7.
Recruiting in Rebel States.
We want the farmers and mechanics of the
free end loyal States, from whom the great
body of our troops have been recruited,
to mark well the Ake t t.h.•:!W 41 0),, proposition to
raise men : to 114 tiplOo to f our decimated
armies in the iiibeVotates, is now treated by
the copperhead organs of the country. The
idea of recruiting in 'the rebel States, em
braced the success of two leading objects.
' irst, the loyal men-of-the free - States, hav
ing made the most noble sacrifices for the
cause of the Union, were to be relieved, as
far arpossible,•from the . burdens. of -service
in the field; and second, the loyal men of the
South, who as yet have had few opportunities
to strike effective bloWifor the Govenkment,
were to be encouraged in every effort they
were willing to make for the suppression of the
rebellion. .Every Southern man, now idle and on
the verge of starvation, who can be incluceci to
volunteer to fill up the quota of a Northern,
Western or Eastern district, saves a mechanic
and laborer. to ,' , uch. sections., Eva= NEGRO IN
THE SOUTH, EVERY SLAVE WHO IS WILLING TO
STRIKE A BLOW FOR THE OVERTHROW OF REBEL
LION AND THB EMANCIPATION OF HIMSELF AND
FAMILY, SAVES A WHITE MAN TO THE .PERE
STATICS, AND ZS/HIRES MANY A warr MOTHER
AND HER CHILDREN PROM WIDOWHOOD AND
ORPHANAGE. These were the objects to be
gained by authorizing the Governors of free
States to fill up=theirAnotas-on the-draft ,by
eeinithig n fltelbelt,ilfti#s; : -Yet in view of
:these lads infikottechi, alitiest tile . entire 'Cop
perhead press of tie country now oppose the
business of recruiting in the South, by assail
ing ith practicability and ridichling its effect
iveness. It is the object of the Denweratielead
e,rs in the North, to keep the world in the "faith
that the South is a unit in rebellion. Any en
couragement to volunteer for the defence of
the Government, by the people of the rebel
lious States, would destroy this delusion.
And while the Democratic leaders are thus
anxious to maintain the treasonable unity of
the South, they are equally solicitous for
the complete exhaustien of all the resources
in men and means in the North. The more
drafts that are - made in the North, the more
capital the Democratic leaders Inipe to create
against the Government.. The leas aid the
Government can derive 'from the loyal men
of the Soutk, the rebellion in thereby made
more respectable. ;
—We, vant the farmers and mechanics of
the iree'States to ponder these• facts. It needs
no great sagacity to , discern them, as they are
Set fortli in the course of every copperhead
organ in the land, now opposing any effort by
the Ocivenitnent to crush rebellion. The
whole - subjeet is worthy' of the

A Burman Consmarr.-=The Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser tells - a story about one of
the aldermen of that:city. who was drafted,
but was averse to army service. It appears
that the Common Council of Otiffelo poisesses
the power to pardon convicts in the peni
tentiary. Some time singe,a noted soouadrel
was senteneed to is Iterni, of - imprisonment,
and upon this individual the "consoript
lathgr" fixed his attention. He visited the Pris
oner, and fonnd him ready to go , into the
army as a substitute. The next thing was to
get the rogue pardoned out. This was ao
cotriplished throngh 'the favor of the Board;
but when the culprit was released he utterly
declined to enter the service, and is now ready
to undertake any little job of mischief that
may present itself.
GENZBAL Stexmous.--The Troy Times says :
' • The wife of General Seymour has received
several letters from her hulffiand, who is now
in Charleston, under the ordet of Gen. /ones
assigning Federal prisoners to loOslities ex
posed to the fire of our shells. General 'Sey
mour states that he is in good health and
spirits, and speaks of 'a recent order he has
seen, instructing the confederate officers to
treat him humanely during -his stay there.
The order was countersigned by Davis, and
was prompted in consideration of §eymour's
humane treatment of.the rebel wounded after
the battle of Sharpsburg?'

the arrival of some troops in the vicinity 'of

to believe an advance on Bichteond, by, way

A force consisting of Hershaw's division ~ of

the vicinity of Petersburg, and sent down to
check the-movement.
To counteract this movement on the part of
the enemy, the 2d Corps was detached, and

yesterday, the advance met the rebel .akir

This city is as quiet to-day as a well-order
ed county town on a summer's day ought_ to
be. there is
_plenty Of talk 6f rebels coming,
and the udnalamorint of colitradiatory stories
ratio their movesasiats,- numbers._and inten

source that any, number of • gni enemy were
on this side of the. PolOkaaa. . .
• Some few of Mosby's' men have crossed at
the Point of Rocks, but they were only in
gangs of two and three, and were' engaged in
doing a little priiste stealing.. .
Hagerstown is still held by our frees, and
the stages are running without interruption.
Altogether the rumors of war have grown
smaller and the probabilities of' any serious
collision have decreased, as we approached
the anticipated field of battle. Nevertheless,
there is no, knowing what a few days may
bring forth. '
The Potomac is but a. day's march from
here, and it is positively nown that 'there is
a large rebel farce on , the other side.
We have nothing here but confused reports
as to the fighting that preceded Gen. Crook's
retreat upon Martinsburg. What little I can
learn does not confirm, the - rumors that pre
-
railed at Baltliriore, which made the result
I excessively disatrous to us.
THE LATEST-FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC
Enemy Not Crossing the River.
They, Are Being Pushed Southward.
(13Arinatozz, July 2
Gen. Wallace has informed the editors of
this city, that information received here last
night,' renders it unnecessary to continue the
- restrictions upon the- üblication on military
news as heretofore ordered, except as to the
- movements of troops in this department.
We have nothing later authentic from the
Upperp Potomac, but one thing is ceitain, the
enemy has not crossed the Potomac, but at
the latest advices had disappeared from the
line of the river.
Our forces are understood to be pushing
the enemy vigorously south of the. Potomac.
