Throughout the past day or two, the indications favoring this movement (which was determined on in secret session) have been unsteady as a weather-cock upon his steeple point; but now, the gauntlet of doubts is run — the removal is a certainty, and forty thousand dollars appropriated to meet its expenses.

Tremendous sums of money have been recently sent to several portions of Tennessee to pay for the recruiting, subsistence and transportation of troops, who, judging from the appropriations, must be as overwhelming in numbers as they are high and undaunted in courage.
