THE FEELING IN TENNESSEE
Our readfniShave seen the: appoint
ment of Hon. Andrew Johnson as Gov
ernor of Tennessee announced by tele
graph; he has gone on lira xnageificent
mission—that, reclaiming the land
that holds tail' thief of Jackson, Grundy
and Polk. That he will -be successful,
there is no doubt. Tennessee is, and
ever was, loyal to the Union ; her popu
lar majorities against secession, prior to
the firing upon Fort Sumter—before the
people were alarmed, terrified and co
erced—demonstrated her attachment to
that compact which Jackson admonished
them to cling to in his last farewell—
Like Virginia, Tennessee was hurried out
of the Union, by a traitorous Legislature
and Governor, and the people afterward
compelled to endorse their action at the
point of the bayonet. But that the
people do not prefer the rule of Davis
was demonstrated the other day in a
most unmistakable manner. At the
late Presidential election in that State,
the vote cast for Davis and Stephens,
according to the poll books at Nashville,
the crpitol of the State, foots up a little
over twenty-four thousand. This meagre
endorsement of the rebel government,
out of a voting population of over one
hundred and fifty thousand, we take it
as being conclusive as to the feeling of
Tennessee. Davis and Stephens having
no opposition, does not explain the
smallness of their vote, because for
weeks prior to the election, the press
of the State called upon the people to
vote, in order that they might demon..
skate their unanimity to the North.—
They voted to the number mentioned,
which vote never has been - alluded-to by
the champiorisof secession in that State ;
since it WAS ascertained. This negative
condemnation of the rebel government
by Tennessee, is, doubtless, indicative
of the feeling throughout the entire
South. Remove the tyranny which
binds them, and the people will nigh
back with gladness to the embraces of
the Union."
The appointment of Senator Johnson
to the position mentioned, is an admir
able one;
. the right man in the right
place; it also indicates a policy upon the
part of the Administration, looking to
the restoration of the Union, without
venturing upon any of the chimerical
schemes proposed by the partisans of
wholesale confiscation. We are impress.
ed with the conviction that the very best
thing Congress could do, would be to
leave the question of confiscation to the
States themselves. The masses who are
oppressed; once more free to vote and
act, would elect Legislatures which
would deal more effectively with the
rebels than any general law that Con
gress could enact. The temper exhibi
ted by the Legislatures of Marylend and
Kentucky, both of which are now in
session, shows very plainly that the peo
ple of the respective Southern States
understand their affairs much better
than Congress. A new Legislature in
Tennessee will make such laws as will
punish the leaders in rebellion, and
Andrew Johnson is the very man to see
that they are fully enforced- It is the
peculiar businiebsf the Unicii:inen of,
the South to see the leaderali4ebellion
thorouddy, and forever crushed. They
have far more interest in their utter an
nihilation than we .have; and we conse
quently see' that the Legislatures of Ma
ryland-find Kentucky, are most vigilant
in ridding themselves of everything sus
pected of disloyalty. Tennessee will
soon begin the same good work of re
generation, which will be continued by
other redeemed, Commonwealths, until
the old 'Union is restored, rendered
stronger and purer because of the crush
ing of that fell spirit of secession which
will never return to distract and plague
us. Then we shall have that purified
national structure reared and transmit
ted to us by the apostles of American
freedom

and Lieut. Lyle will be forwarded from

LIEELPER'S FERRY VA Feb. 27,1862.
DteiCoi*ep r -Laatnight our Battery,
ffn the first Ulm, camped on the sacred
sail. On .Sundiy night orders came foi
unto pack - up. -Wesbipped our' gins on
Railroad truck and the drivers took
the tow-path for Sandy Hook. But few
tears were shed on leaving the Point of
Rocks. We arrived at .Sandy Hook at
daylight on Monday morning, where
part of Col. Geary's Regiment were al.
ready assembled.. A small boat with
cis privates of Company P, 28th Regi
ment, Reis, the ferryman, and a citizen
of the Hook started across to fasten the
cable. The boat, when half way over,
swamped, and all, save Reis, met a watery
grave. It was heart rending to listen
to the cries of the drowning men. but it
was impossible to save them. The river
was high and the wind blowing a perfect
hurricane. Capt. Towson with fifteen
privates succeeded in getting over and
remainei in the ferry all night. On
Tuesday morning CoL Geary was success
ful in getting a cable across, and eight
companies of his regiment with two of
our guns under Capt. Knapp crossed.
The cable then broke and the crossing
stopped. On Wednesday morning the
boats and timbers of the bridge arrived.
and was thrown across by 3P. M. It
was constructed by the United States
Nippers and Miners, assisted by details
from various Regiments. Gene. M'Clel
land and Banks, with their staffs, were
the first to cross the bridge, followed by
the remainder of the 28th Regiment,
3d Wisconsin, 29th Pennsylvania, 9th
New York, balance of our battery and
Baxter's Fire Z.maves. CA. Geary's
Regiment and Knap's Battery lead the
advance. Smallwood's Heights are oc
cupied by our men. The rebel pickets
have fallen back to Charlestown.
Yours, A
Senator Cowan's speech Against
- 15 n Tuesday last the confiscation bill
being up for consideration in the If. S.
Senate, Mr. Cowan delivered the follow
ing able speech in opposition to it. The
Senator, it will be seen, like the great
statesmen who adorned the Senate a
few years since—Webster, Clay, Wright
and Benton—takes the Constitution,
which he has sworn to support, for his
guide, and eloquently pleads for its rote
servance. Our Western Pennsylvania
Senator stands likes rock, against whose
flinty ribs the waves of fanaticism lash
themselves into foam, without moving
it from its solid base and centre.
Mr. McDougal having concluded his
speech, Mr. Cowan said.
I agree with the Senator from Califor
nia in considering this one of the most
important bills before Congress, and as
one upon which the fate of the Ameri
can Republic may depend. We are now
standing squarely face to face with ques
tions which are most pregnant with re
sults for the future. Shall we stand or
fall by the Constitution, or leaving it,
enter for the future upon the wide field
of revolution? Shall we attempt to go
back to those doctrines which marked
the middle ages, and introduce now in
to this country feuds like those which
intervening centuries have not sufficed
to remove? These are 'the great ques
tions which are in this bill—every one
of them. This bill proposes to go for
ward and strip the whole population of
the South of their property, and reduce
them to poverty—and while yet 400,000
lof them have arms in their hands. If
there is anything es lculated to make that
entire people our enemies always, it
will be the promulgation of such an act
l ias this. Will they yield to us sooner
in view of such a destruction? What
would we ourselves do under any such
circumstances? I need hardly ask that
question of men who have descended
from sires who refused to pay a petty tax
on tea, and from grandsires who raised
a revolution rather than pay twenty
shillings ship money—that I think was
the amount demanded from Hampden—
a revolution which cost King Charles
-hishead. No such sweeping measure as
„this'has ever been enacted. Even in the
days of William the Conqueror, the proud
Norman and his barons were content with
the fiefs and castles of the Saxon leaders.—
They did not dare to strip the people of
their property, nor even much increase
their burdens. They knew that, victorious
as they were, they would have involved
themselves in a far more dangerous strug•
gle, in which every peasant would have
been a principal combatant- Tne English,
in their contest with, and bills of attainder
against, the Irish, never attempted to
%inch the possessions of the common peo
ple. but only the property of the nobles.—
This bill goes further, and attempts to con.
fisoate.another species of property, which
cannot be put into the coffers of the
conqueror. I mean the property in
slaves. I don't intend to stop to dis•
cuss the question of property of this kind
Is is enough for me to say that all the
people of the South seem to agree as to
.his kind of property with wonderful
nimity, and to resent any interference with
it. This bill proposes to liberate 3,000,000
of slaves—truly the most stupendous stroke
for universal emancipation over attempted
in the world. Indeed, I think it virtually
liberates the whole 4,000,000. What is to
be the effect of this upon the war ? Shall
r we be stronger, or shall we find that we
have only doubted the.nuinber of those in
arms against Us ? They have now no cause
for rebellion. Will not this bill furnish
them one? iset,the loyal men of that
section, who kno'vi them, answer this ques
tion. I will abide their answer. I submit
again that no deliberate assembly in the
world ever before sat in judgment on so
stupendous an Issue. Yes, as if to blind
us still more, this bill has a proposition of
still greater magnitude, and, if pos.
Bible, of still greater difficulty that
is, to take these millions and transfer them
to some tropical clime, and to protect them
there with all the rights and guaranties of
freemen. And this is all provided for in
a single section and in a single sentence
of nine lines. Truly we must have re
cently transported ourselves from the prac
tical domain of facts, and set down in the
romantic regions of Eastern fiction. Do
the advocates of this measure propose to
confer upon the President the gold making
touch of Midas ? Nothing short of the
ring and lamp of Alladin, with their at.
tendant genii, would insure the success of
each a scheme, unless it is believed that
the Treasury Note possesses the magic
power. And even under that supposition,
I think that the owners of those Southern
olimee, and the Transportation Companies,
ought to be consulted in regard to the legal
tender clause. I presume it is not sup.
posed that this modern exodus will be sups
, ported on the way by quails end manna ;
and yet I am free to say that it will require
eome such miraculous interposition as that
which favored the Israelites in their jour
ney oat of Egypt. But, Sir, is It not
airange that this scheme should be so
molly presented for our consideration,
and nrgedto its final consummation with
a kind of siarprisis that any one should op..
IttoselX? ~Xt fif certehily due to ourselves,

merit. Pass this bill and all that is left of
the Constitution is not worth much, car
laltily not worth this terrible war which
we-are now waging for it—for be it res
membered that this war Is waged solely for
the preservation of the Constitution. I
am aware th 4 some think that the Oonstia
tution is a restraint upon the free act'on of
the nation in the conduct of this war,
which they suppose could be carried on d
great deal better without it. 1 have no
hesitation in saying that no greater miss
take has ever been made anywhere than
is made by such people. I am afraid
it will amount to a confession that they
have not carefully examined the full scope
of its provisions. The greatest danger is that
these propositions, at the first glance, seem
possible and even plausible. They are not
the rolling breakers which every one may
sae, but the sunken rocks, which are all the
more dangerous because they aro hidden ;
therefore, I am opposed to this bill, and I
will give my reasons, and show, if I can,
why I think that in all Its main provisions
it is unnecessary, impolitis, inexpedient,
uacenstitutional, and, I may add, utterly
and toally useless ; and I think I can
show that the Government has all the
power under the Constitution which is
necessary to put down this rebellion and
punish the Rebels, and that there is not in
reality any necessity for straining any of
its provisions in any way. I shall address
myself to this first proposition, which is
that Congress can forfeit the property of
the rebels for a term longer than their
lives by any enactment either direct or in
direct. All persons now in rebeLim, hays
leg levied war against the United States,
are guilty of treason within t e exact de
ilintiun of that crime in the Constitution.
But the senor d rection of that same clause
provides that no attainder treason shall
work corruption of blood, forfeiture, etc.,
except during the life of the person attain
ed. Therefore, any law made for the gold
ante of the Courts must conform to this
provision, and no greater penalty can be
imposed than it will warrant. The power
assumed in this bill is also obnozkus to
the provisions of the Constitution. If it
be assumed that Congress csn make any
forfeiture of the property of rebels with
out allowing the means of defense in the
Courts, pe >pie will di well to remember
that our government is not an absolute
power. Tho powers of the G ivernment
are limited and defined, and expressly
delegated, and Congress has no power to
punish any person except for contempt
If we had half a dczsn of the most trai
torous rebels here to day, we could not
punish them; we could not bid the Sera
goant at Arms take them out and hang
thorn. Nay, more, the President himself
and all his army could not lead them
away from these halls—for here they
would be within the domain of the law,
and within its provisions, and the only
way would b 3 to deliver them over to the
proper Judges, and each one might require
to have a separate Judge. And I may say
further, that it is in this limitation of the
powers of the Government, that its great
merit consists; on this account we love,
cherish, and revere it, and we are now at
war to defend and preserve it. Again,
the Constitution says "that no bill of at.
tainder—ex peat facto —law shall be
pissed:" Buis of attainder were mortal
to in England to punish persons who were
out of reach of the Courts in many cases,
even, after they were dead, They con,
damned the accused to death, if not dead,
forfeited the estates and corrupted the blood
of the children and heirs. Bills, however,
like the one under circumstances, which did
not inflict capital pu - Ashment, were called
act of pains and penalties, which, though
perhaps they do not come within the ez•
press lett• r of the Constitution, still are
. 1 contrary to Its spirit, es they seek to re.
S move the persons fr _en the power of the
1 courts; and by passing a number of bills
of pairs and penalties y ei produce the
I same effect as a b!ll of attar. ter. NJ wars
rant can b) found fir any L:gislature to
undertake t , pass any such ['dia. But I
now proprse to go iurther and argue that
the eXarCise ,if such a 1,, we , , even it it had
been granted, would be bJth nii-chievous
and impolitic, and our fathers d.d wisely
and well in refusing It. Their great prin
ciple was to punish the guilty alone, and
not to involve a whole f m ilt', because in
many cases th e family wo Id be innocent
Suppose this measure ems, and these
people are to be overthr wn. It doe! seem

to me you give them every possible motive
for revenge and hate. Their women and
children will hate you, and their chil.

Lion will curse you. And if they should
rebel again, have you not sown the seeds
of many rebellions by this one measure ?
All this might make no difference if these
were alien enemies, and we were engaged
in a war fur conquest. But it is not so.
We have here in Congress made a solemn
declaration that it is not a war of conquest
or subjugation, but for the preservation of
the Constitution and the Union, and I am
fur standing by that declaration. We
hive been told and believe that many of
three men now serving in the rebel army
are there by force. Are they to be hung
on the same scaffold as the willing traitor?
This but makes co difference The vic
tim of force in the beginning would end
by being the victim of wrong and Mims.
tics. Again, thousands of these people
have been duped into rebellion by being
told that we were all Abolitionists. Shall
there be no provision for these men who
have thus believed this because it was as.
serted by Southern demagogues, and as
they thought proved by Northern knaves?
This bill distinguishes not the house of the
planter from the negro hovel of the slave•
and makes no difference between the troad
acres of the one, and the little garden of
the otter. Bit even it your bill is carried
into operation, who will buy your COngS

hood will exist between the former own•
era and your purchasers ? The tradition
of wrong will sit at the hearthstone of
that family for ages, like a hideous specter
ever Inciting to revenge and rebellion
You might as well try to attract purchas
ers by promising them a good title to an
Irish feud, or a Corecian vendetta. Such
titles have never been good. You might
as well expect capital to seek the margin
of a volcano, where the lava had nut
ceased to flow. To Lt which is taken by
war must be held by war.
ger The St. Louis Daily News, of
March Ist, says:
We had an opportunity, yesterday, of
conversing with a gentleman who lett
Memphis last Saturday, and reached St.
Louis yesterday moreng. He came to
New Madrid by l% t, thence by land - to
Price's Landing, where he crossed the
river to Illinois, reaching the Central
Railroad. He has been a citizen of St.
Louis, but for some time past has been
living in Memphis.
He says there was much depression in
emphia, caused by the late rebel de
feats, particularly those on the Tennes
see and Cumberland rivers; and it was
generally admitted that Memphis was
in great danger. All the gold and silver
in the Banks, and the treasures of pri
vate individuals had been sent off to
Nebo Orleans for safety.
Mrs. Partington's Last.
- Mrs. Partington has a friend in the
army. Being asked one day what his
igation was, she replied ; "Bor• two

to be captain 61'a aquul of sapheads

ness people there Rt..' ) ascertain the

If the report of tui4 agent shall be
deemed satisfactory, and his investiga

trade will be immediately opened with
all parts of the State, the same as before
the rebellion, with the exception of ar

Cure for Ilt-Temper
A sensible women, the mother of
a young family, taught her obildien
from the earliest childhood to consid
er ill-humor as a disorder which was
to be cured by physic. A.coordingly,
she had always small doses, and the
ittle patients, whenever it was thought
needful, took rhubarb for their gross
ness. No punishment was required.
Peevishness or ill -temper and rhubarb
were associated in their minds always
as cause and effect.
