d with. I learn that a similar change of opinion is universal, except in the mountainous districts of Tennessee. I regard that the fate of Tennessee is determined by the next vote that is cast for Governor. Whoever the man may be, let him be for a United South. Union men of Tennessee, with few exceptions, are among the very foremost in the call for arming the State, and resisting the machinations of the Black Republican tyrant and his conclave at Washington. The Christian Index, of Georgia, throws the whole blame of the war upon Lincoln and his advisers ; says that upon the part of the South it is a war to maintain the right of sovereignty pertaining to each State of the old Union and of the new Confederacy, in which we are but defending our firesides, our families, our honor, and our independence. After speaking of the apparent policy of the United States Government, the editor adds: The tendency of these movements will be to bring Virginia and Maryland into the South

And not only the Confederate States will sustain him, but thousands of the citizen soldiery of the border slawered as follows: Now, we say, let the Congress and the Executive of the United States cease offensive operations against the Confederate States, and evacuate theConfederate States, and evacuate the forts within their borders, and then enter into a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Government, and the dreadful alternative of a sanguinary, desncalled — for attack, an aggressive war on the Government and people of the United States, it continues: In maintaining itself against this aggressive war, and in

Had the Government given up these forts, convened Congress and urged upon that body the imperative necessity of calling a National Convention for the purpose of a peaceable settlement of our difficulties, we believe the whole thing might have been settled without a resort to arms. Our prayer is that peace between the sections may be speedily restored. If the South won't live with us as a united people, then by all means let us live in harmony as two separate nations. The Witness, of Indiana, says:--After months of indignities borne by our Government from some of the Southern States--after she had endured dishonor and afflictions which need not be repeated, for they are fresh in every mind, she is now hunted by armed troops, the men of her own raising, and arms of her own making, and with them she is fiercely threatened to be stabbed, nay, perhaps is stabbed at this very writing to her heart! But, thank Heaven, she is not dead, nor is she mortally wounded! The United States o

After speaking of the apparent policy of the United States Government, the editor adds: The tendency of these movements will be to bring Virginia and Maryland into the Southern Confederacy, and also Kentucky and Tennessee, and perhaps Arkansas; and if Lincoln persists in his coercive policy, President Davis will have no other alternative but to conquer a peace by attacking Washington city, and, on the tented field proving the superiority of Southern to Northern prowess. Thus will we force the ill-advisers of Mr. Lincoln to acknowledge and recognize our secession; we will compel an equitable division of the national property; and while the North will sink at once to the position of a third-ra

Graves, its principal editor, just returned from a journey through the South, says:--I learned something more about the politics of the masses of Mississippi and Louisiana. I had read in certain newspapers that the people in Louisiana are sound Union men at heart, and that secession is the work of politicians. So far as I travellLouisiana are sound Union men at heart, and that secession is the work of politicians.

You may write it down as a settled fact to be reckoned from, that these States will never form an alliance again with the Abolition States of the North--never while the world stands. An army of a million soldiers could not force them back. They will die to a man first, save, perhaps, here and there one who has neither cotton nor negroes to fight for, and who would be glad to see no one better off than himself. Party lines are now annihilated. There is no longer any Whig or Democrat, Southern man and Ya

be regarded as the valiant American Government that, by martial supremacy, asserted its right to a place among the first nations of the earth, and which, by its liberal policy towards other nations, and its possession of King Cotton, will but bind to itself in friendship all other countries, :and which, by the enlightenment, religion, urbanity, and high-toned principles of its people, will claim and receive the respect, admiration, and esteem of the world. The South Western Baptist, of Alabama, says: Well, the war is upon us! We have exhausted every effort for peace which duty and honor demand. Our peace offerings are spurned, our commissioners sent home from Washington with the insulting declaration that they cannot be received, and now the roar of artillery on our Southern borders announces the purblind policy of an abolitionized government, bent on the ruin of the country as well as its own! Let it come! In the name of our God, we will set up our banners; and by the

rom the Baltimore true Union.] A heavy pall of sickening sadness shrouds our hearts as we rise from a glance over our religious exchanges. If there was anywhere to be expected a spirit of peace and conciliation in this awful hour, it certainly ought to have been looked for in the conductors of the Christian press. But alas! with few exceptions on both sides, they breathe out threatenings and slaughter, and goad on the people to a furious, suicidal war. The Christian Secretary, of Connecticut, says: If we have a civil war and fight for five, ten, or twenty years, and drench our soil in fraternal blood, until, exhausted and worn out, both sides cry for peace, the same questions will come up for settlement that we first split on, and they will be just as difficult to arrange then as now. It has appeared to us that it would be better to settle these difficulties before fighting than afterwards, for we could see nothing that could be gained by the fight, but much that would

n, without being recreant to every sentiment of justice and Christian principle, we cannot ignore or evade. There is but one feeling now through the North. It is for vigorous, energetic and decisive measures, not for aggressive warfare, for no one here contemplates or desires it, but because the best peace measure now is the exhibition of such strength on the part of the Government as will prevent further aggressive measures on the part of the South. The Watchman and Reflector, of Boston, Mass., says: We bitterly deplore the necessity of war. As Christian journalists we have counselled forbearance till it has ceased to be a virtue. We have hoped that our brethren of the South, while renouncing allegiance to the national Government, would refrain from any attack on its armed troops. But delay has only aggravated treason, forbearance has emboldened their movements, and civil war is now inevitable. There can be no doubt of the ultimate result. The North has ample resources

Thus will we force the ill-advisers of Mr. Lincoln to acknowledge and recognize our secession; we will compel an equitable division of the national property; and while the North will sink at once to the position of a third-rate power of the earth, we, from our Capitol at Washington city, will cause ourselves to be regarded as the valiant American Government that, by martial supremacy, asserted its right to a place among the first nations of the earth, and which, by its liberal policy towards other nations, and its possession of King Cotton, will but bind to itself in friendship all other countries, :and which, by the enlightenment, religion, urba

part of the State convulsed with agitation and turmoil, slavery cannot maintain its existence. It alludes to the collision between the mob and the soldiers in Baltimore, and adds: But the mobocracy may as well be quiet. Baltimore is now at the mercy of our guns, and Maryland is one of the most vulnerable States in the Union. Baltimore is now at the mercy of our guns, and Maryland is one of the most vulnerable States in the Union. The Mississippi Baptist, after describing the war policy of President Lincoln with reference to the Confederate States, adds: If he carries out this policy fully, we see no alternative but a general war, a war both by sea and land; a war which will carry desolation, carnage, and blooodshed wherever the contending forces meetof our God, and the Lord do what seemeth him good. Let prayer be made without ceasing unto God, and the result is not doubtful.
