Position of Tennessee. A letter dated Morristown, Tenn., July 6th, gives us the subjoined account of the position at present occupied by our sister State, and expresses correctly the determination of her people to resist all attempts at subjugation by foes without and traitors within her borders: The Volunteer State by an overwhelming majority has become a member of the Southern Confederacy. Her gallant sons, who never knew fear, have exercised the right of determining their own destiny, awed neither by large armies nor the threats of many hostile States. Tennessee to-day occupies a more exalted position than ever before. Her people have shown themselves to be a free people, and her sons freedom's gallant champions.
