Passed May 6, 1861. --Nashville Banner, May 8. The Ordinance passed. The deed is done! And a black deed it is — the Legislature of Tennessee, in secret session, passed an ordinance of secession — voting the State out of the Federal Union, and changing the federal relations of a State, thereby affecting, to the great injury of the people, their most important earthly interests.

My dear friend,—Your last letter, in which was mentioned a possible plan for retaking Sumter, reached me in the midst of cares and toil, which have left no opportunity to pursue the subject. I do not know what may be your opinion, or that of the Administration, as to operating at that point. The whole matter has now assumed the broadest proportions, and we in Massachusetts are only anxious to be up to our whole duty; and it is my strong
