Mr. Early, of Franklin, fully appreciated the position of the gentleman, as an officer of the Federal Government, but could see no necessity for the adoption of the resolution.--He then alluded to the rumored proceedings at Fortress Monroe, and went on to show that the same state of things had existed there for years.
