Believing as I do that the people of Tennessee are Joy a} to the constitution in all its parts, and with each and allof its guaranties; possessing a joalous regard for the righte of the Stater, and feeling justly ap- prehensive of encroachments upon them, they would feel and demonrtrate, when necesssry, their identity with any of her sister States in reeisting any unjust and unconstitu- tioval warfare upon them or their institutions, thie re- sistance should be, first, by the use of all the coostita- tions] means in our power, to the end that the Union may be preserved as it was formed, aud the blessings of & government of equality, under a written constitu- tution, perpetuated. But if the hope of thus obtaining jns- tice shall be disappointed, and the Federal government, in the bands of reckless fanatics, shall at any time become ap engine of power to invede the rights of tudividuals and of States, to follow the example of our fathers of 1776, will be the only alternative left us.

Herald. of the 17th ult., says hundreds and thousatos of bales of cotton are crowding the depots from Grand Junction to Canton, waiting to be taken down the Missiseippi Central Railroad to New Or- leans. Several hundred bales now throng our public fquare and cotton yards, to be sent in the same direction. The railread carries cotton from our depot to New Or- Jeans at $3 per bale, which is as cheap, or cheaper, than heretofore been sent by river, and many of our rs are availing themselves of this new route of transportation to get their cotton to market. Travel is aleo taking the same roate, and our road bids fair to be one of the greatest thoroughfares in the United States. WHERB DID THEY COME FROM?—WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO?

NEGROES INCITED TO KILL THEIR OVERSEER BY’ AN ABOLITIONIST. From a reliable source, says the Memphis am lanche of the 23d ult., we have learned the particulars of the tragedy enacted in Ashley county, Arkansas, which has create a great excitement in that locality. Jasper Murray, overseer of Samuel M. Carter, of Georgia, who has recently settled @ plantation in Arkansas, was killed by the negroes on the piace a few days since. Inquiries imstituted ceveloped the fact that the crime was committed at ithe instigation of an abolitionist named Sneed, who promised the negroes that if they would kill the overseer and get hie money, he would carry them to a free State. Five of the pegrors and the white man were arrested, and fare in jail at Hamburg, Ashley county. As before stated, the most intense ¢xeitement prevails in the neighborhood, nd \t would not be surprising if Sneed met his deserts in most summary manner. SALE OF NEGRO) ALABAMA.

Tam again forced to commence my correspondence with a murder. The vietim in the present case was a sowed desperado, by the name of Rhodes, and the fact: of the cave, a8 near as we have been able to ascertain them, are 88 follows:—Rhoces and a man by the name of Lace met im one of the saloons in this city, carly last Thursday evening, when some altercation took place between them, but no collision occurred. Ao hour or two later Rhodes went to a house on Main street, where W. A. Hickman was confined with a wound received some weeks ago. Rhodes, {t was belioved, belonged to & band of persons in this city pnd vieinity, who were at deadly enmity with Hickman, and the party which he is guppoeed to bead. He was according!y refused admitiance into the room where Hickman wus con! Luce, who was present, with others, believing that hie visit was not of a frien uly vature. On belog refused admittance into the room where Hickman was, Rhodes drew a pair of pistols and declared that be would enter or die; at this moment gentleman by the name of Bates, who happened to be present, ran bp abd grasped the pistols in Rno tes’ hands, and ut the same moment both hammers descended oo his hands, thus preventing the discharge of the pistol. Whiie this was oveurring Luce bad also advanced, and wih @ bowie kuife inilicled several wounds upon te breast, shoulder and peek of Rhodes, from which be soon fell snd immediately after died. These, we understand, are the main facts adduced on the triaiof Luce, which took place op the day following, and upon them be wae aisebarged from custody. An indictment was pending against Rhodes before the District Court here, for the 7 of a mau by the name of McNei! lass sumer ia ity.

Threatening to Cowhide an Edilor--The Editor Appeals to the Public and Declares War to the Knife. Poor Utah! When all was working for peace, and the hatchet was being decently and deeply interred, suddenly the resurrectionist invokes the deadly symbol, and our Prospects for a fnes are particularly cheering. Poor Vtab. Tue Preeident’s Meseage was received here] evidently with satisfaction by the majority of the citizens. ‘The Secretary of War’s attack, as they call it here, coupled with the recommendation of ‘martial law’’ from Commissioner Greenwood, were momentarily irritating; but all that, expected, would be short lived and the community would soon be cooled down again. Theee re- porte, untouched by others would soon have been for- gotten, and in the ordinary course of events the army would have been removed, aa stated by Secretary Floyd. But now we are threatened with another necessity for not only the army that is here, but a stil Jarger one must come to epmibilate the Mormons. So men speak who wish their desires were accomplished facts. What's in the wind? what are the facts? A good and honest man by reputation went into the oflice of the present editor of the Valicy fan last Satur- auy, and after arranging eome busiffess with \bat gentle men, opens a tongue attack upon him for au article in that paper reflecting upon tne Mormon hierarchy, classing them as murderers. The editor tried to convince the Utah merchant (hat there was nothing particular in the article; that be really did not mean what was drawn from it, and begides there Was DO name mentioued in Lhe arti- cle; "bat it was general and pot Tbe Mormon woree witb the id Mr. Ds on bi ’ were not murderers; that he was one of thet body; that he was no murderer, and that if the editor Wanted to ¢o his duty and expose murderers, and would poblieb the names of the guilty, the Mormons would stand by bim with knife and revolver and defend him, but he was going to suffer no longer avch impntations to be caet wholega'e upon the innocent. Sacha kind of talk, accompanied with @ good amount of exciting elocu: tien, geeture, thumping of the table, and the promise of a cowbiding, completed the Mermon visit to the Gentile edi- tor’s seuetom. Mr. De Wolf soon cleared out for Camp Floyd, to see his frienda Ju‘ ge Eckels and General Jonnston, postponed the publication of hia paper, returned last night, and as ] am termitating, T am furnished with a copy of his papor, made up evidently for the Washington market. It 1s too late now for me to furnish you some items that bath beep lying in my desk for some time back relative lo the secret measures that have been concluded on for the purpose of keeping the army hore if possible. By next mail I shall forward them. One tiing I must add, that if Governor Cumming would get out of the notion of waiting till be is asked by the Cabinet before he gives statements of the position of affairs in the Territory, he might save a great ceal of bad feeling against himeelf, save the pation @ vast amount of money, bother aod hum- bug, and, in addition, scatter from Washington a numer- ous clique of men who bave assembled there from this place, and from Camp Floyd, for no other earthly purpese than keeping up trouble here. This Haines De Wolf affair will bo a perfect god- ‘end to them. No doubt the freedom of the press will be aseailed, and the business representative of the absent Secretary of the Territory will have been grossly insulted: and nothing could be greater evidence of the necessity of new covtracts. Who is Haines, and who is De Wolf? And what has this community or the nation at large to do with either, or both? MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. 31,1860, by Bi ung BoorH—Atrep —Dec. 31, 1850, by Bishop W. G.

[From the Mostreal Herald, Feb. 28 } On Sunday last our French Canadian fellow citizens met 1 the Parish church, to express their sympathy with bis Holiness Pius IX. The meeting was called for seven o'clock. The eacred edifice was crammed in every part; im fact, there could not bave been less than ton thousaad persons present. u ‘The platformn was erectod ontaide the rails of the altar. At seven o'clock Jean Baptiste Society, was unanimously cailed to the chair. He briefly opened the proceestogs, and cal upon the various speakers in the following order to move and second the subjoined resolutions:— Proposed by C. 8. Cherrier, eq, and seconded by Dr. J.B. Meilleur:— : “We, the Catholicos of the city of Montreal, having learned with profound grief the grave attacks lately made againet the temporal sorerelans of your Holmess, and those stil more grave by which it is menaced, would believe ourselves wanting in our duty, bequoatnod to us by the noble traditions of our ancestors, by the beneilts we have received from Providence in the different trials through which we have paseed, aud by tbe paternal solicitade which your Holiness and your pre- decessors have always shown, if we did not now deciare, at the fect of your Holiness, the exprossion of our mos! sincere attachment and respectful devotion,”” Proposed by the Hon. P J. O. Chauveau, and seconded by L. A. Moreau, Esq :— “The possession of the States which appertain to your Holiness, from titles as eacred as those of ail the other sovereigns of Europe, being intimately allied to the free administration of ecclesiastical affair’, and generally to the interests of religion in the Catholic worid, and. the hatred of our holy religion being the principal cause of the efforts which are made to wrest from your Holincss a portion of your dominions, we believe it to be oar duty to join our voice, feeble as it may be, to thoge which rise to-day from all parts towards the throne of the successor * propreed. by the Hou. 7.

L. Renaud, seconded by F. P. Po minville, Req. :— “Whatever may be the trials reserved for tho visible head of the Church, we hope that with the support of Di- vine Providence our faith and love will stiil remain un shaken, and be if possible augmented; and with this in view bef ae you to bestow upon us those Apostolic bene- dictions through which 20 many blessings are accorded to the faithiul.”” Proposed by G. Ouimet, Eeq , seconded by Alderman ‘alois:— “That ali Catholi¢s in Montreal and the surrounding dis- tricts be invited to take part in this expression of sym y for our Holy Father, the Pope, and that copies of e address comprising the four preceding resoiutiona, be sent to all the parishes, in order to eecure as many signa. ‘tures a8 possible. bE gi by Hon.

Bedini, and the Canadians who may then be found in the Eternal City. The whole of the resolutions were carried by acclama- tion.

Opening of the Canadian Parliament— The Governor's Speech. At three o'clock P. M., February 28, his Excellency the Go. erncr General proceeded in state to the Chamber of the Legislative Council, in the Parliament Buildings, Que- The members of the Legislative Council being assem bled, bis Excellency was pleased to command tue a:ten- dance of the Legislative Atsembly, and that House being present, his Excelleucy was pleased to open the Third Ses ion of the Sixth Parliament of the Province of Cacade, with the following speech from the throne:— Honorabie gentlemen of the Legislative Council—Gentle- men of the Legislative Arcembly:—1have much pleasure ip abnouncing to you that your joint address of last ses- sion, inviting the to visit Canada,"has been laid at the foot of the throne, and that her Majesty’s most gra- cleus answer will forthwith be placed tn your hands. ‘You will see with satisfaction that we may hope for the honor of receiving his Royal Highness the Priace of Waies fp such @ manner as will prove the hearty loyalty of all ranks among us. Negotiations havo been carried on by the Postmaster General for securing the travsmission through Canada of a large portion of tae correaponaence between Europe and America. The result of these nego tations bas been such as to show that the advantages of the route by the St. Lawrence are fully appreciated. Ak the same time care has been taken to represent properly to her Majesty's government the position and claims of Canada with reference to the postal subsidies granted wo Ocean steamers. The commissioners appointed to report on the bouncary line between Upper ana Lower Casada have completed their labors, 60 a8 to enable you to pass & bill for the settlement of this long pending question. Tne government have received suggestions from many sources with reference to the measure introduced last seesion for the consolidation of the municipal law of Lower Canada, and a bill will be snbmitted to you which may enable you to effect this important object. I congratulate you on the issue of the consolidated statutes of Upper and Lower Canads. I trust soon to gee the same work com. pleted for Lower Canada, and, when this is dona, we may hope that it will be followed by the fur. ther arrimilation of the laws in force in both eections of the province. J desire to call your attention to the ex, diency of considering the law of debtor and creditor in commercial matters as it exists both in Upp: Canada, with a view to further legialation on subject; and I think, too, that the present system of cur. rency and banking ceeerve your early and serious con sideration. A measure will be laid before you for the pur }swy of facilitating the administration of the Crown is. Gentlemen of the Legiglative Arsembly—If I may not congratulate you on having completely surmounted our financial difficulties, I think you wil! find that the income and expenditure for the past year have been such as to cause us no fear for the tuture. Papers will be laid be- fore you having reference to the consolidation of the pub. lic debt, and the successful exertions made by the Minis- ter of Finance during the recess, with a view of « z this important object. You will see that the depression nn- der which we bave labored hag not diminished our credit, but it has forcibly impressed on myself and my sivisers the resin, ee strict and rigid economy. It is with this conviction that I ask you again to consider the propriety of making the requisite provision for the Queen’s service. The accounts for the several departments shal! be placed in your hands with as little delay as poeeible. It pleased Almigbty God in the last autumn to biess our land with a plentiful harvest, an 1 we see around us atthe present mo- ment the signs of a revival of commerce. I earnesily pray that these marks of returning prosperity may cog. tinue to increase, and that our — may have abundant cause to be thankful for the welfare.of their country and the maintenance of law and order. It is at your hanis that they expect such amendments and changes as may from time to time be needed; but I rejoice to think that fow subjects of a broad and important character yet re. main to be dealt with by immediate legislation. “1 now leave you to the discharge of your legisiative duties. A Garant Crew.—A hee lige of ten men, says the Leavenworth (Kanzas) Register of the 284 ult, arrived in town this morning from the Lake Superior country. They started about the first of Jani and travelled to Chicago (a distance 200 mile) on foot, janding their effects with sleds drawn by dogs. They then procured horse teams and came here over land, bringing along several of their faithful and useful companions—the dogs. The men are ont Lorre al tha in me raking and show ey carry any unde: .

Scnpay, March 4, 1860. The receipts of cotton continue to surpass the estimates of the most sanguine dealers, and many authorities now look for a crop of 4,500,000 bales, though safer and more general estimate is 4,300,000. Under these cir cumstances the trade is lodking for a decline in Europe, and business is restricted here in conse- quence. There is, however, hardly any change in quotations since last week. The report from the South is more favorable as to the quality of the cot- ton now coming in; it is said to be fully as good ag the cotton which was received at the ports at this time last year. Breadstufls continue quiet, with a light stock here, and consequently a pretty steady market. The only buyers are the home consumers, the ex- port to Europe being nominal. The quantity of grain and flour which is accumulating at Chicago is very large, and as soon as the navigation opens business will be very active. Operators still look for an upward movement in wheat and flour, con- sequent upon a want of food in Europe; thus far events have not justified their anticipations, Pro visions are lower; the speculative movement in pork, which we have noticed in recent weekly re- views, appears to have subsided, and prices have given way in consequence. In view of the crop, however, dealers do not look for much lower prices this season. The business in groceries with the interior has been active throughout the past week, though im porters complain that they are making no money. Sugars are lower, and are said to net @ considera- ble loss to importers. Coffee is firm, but the high prices which have ruled at the points of pro- duction prevent the importers here from realising much profit on the importation. Teas are pretty Or. Beaubien, as President of the St. | MARCH 5, 1860.—TRIPLE SHEET, active, at fall prices. Wool is quiet at last quota tions. Spices are inactive. Brandy has been again } in demand among speeulators, late Fnropean ad- viees reporting an advance in foreign markets. Hides are steady, without much animation. The dry goods market has been very active since last week. The Sonthern buyers are pur- chasing more goods than ever; and the | Charleston jobbers, who are reaping a fine harvest from the political excitement pre- vailing at the South, are taking more goods from New York than was expected by the most savguine importers. Some Western merchants are in town, and are likewise buying with some free- dom, on the strength of the balance of the crop to come forward when navigation opens. Tuere is likewise a fair export demand for domestics; the spinners in New England are doing well and in- creasing their milling force. Last week's import entry of dry goods was light; if the importers would only moderate their purchases for a few weeks their profits would be largely increased and the prosperity of the country at large placed on a sounder basis. We fear, however, that argument and warnings are alike throwh away in such a cause; nothing but repeated, recurring and severe Josses will teach the dry goods importers modera- tion. The following are the comparative tables of the trade of the port for the week and since January 1:— Inpro!

The total receipt from California has been $1,776,079—$1,393,579 on Sunday, in the North Atlantic Company's steamer, and $382,500 on Tuesday, in Vanderbilt's steamer; besides which the banks have gained about $320,000 from the Sub-Treasury, in which institution the balance stood yesterday at $8,734,208, against $9,055,303 at the close of last week. The last bank average of coin was $20,773,896, and the export last week $667,282, as above; so that it may not be unrea- sonable to look for an average of $22,000,000 to- morrow. Judging from the way foreign exchange is working, there seems every reason to believe that the bank balance will, ere long, run above twenty-five millions. This time last year the banks bad twenty-six millions and a half of specie. The Sub-Treasury has paid out since last week nearly three millions of dollars, chiefly on account of the overdue Post Office debt; * but as $2,000,000 of Treasury notes have been negotiated, three- fourths of which have already been taken and paid for, the balance does not show as large a decline as was anticipated. Next week it isexpected that the disbursements will be heavy; the whole six millions appropriated to pay the overdue Post Office debt have been placed to the credit of the Post- master General, and it isto be presumed that he will lose no time in paying the debts of the depart- ment. The whole twenty millions of treasury notes are now in circulation, and unlees Congress should authorize new issues, it will be reasonable to ex- pect that the government balance at this point will run down to three to four millions before very long. The receipts from duties continue handsome; they were last month $2,724,061, against $3,328,688 same month last year. We have at length to report a decline in the yaine of money. Money was offered on call on Sa- turday at 5a 53 per cent, and good 4.6 months paper went at 6a6$ per cent. The amount of money offering since last Monday has been far in excess of the wants of the community, and though | strenuous efforts have been made by lenders to maintain rates, they gave way, as we said, at the close of the week. Lenders may consider them- selves fortunate if they continue to maintaia money at 5 per cent on call thronghout the current month Severol large banks have been and are very anxions to lend their means, in order to earn dividends; unless business should become more active than it is, we shall probably see the rate decline to 4a 4} per cent before midsummer. All the reasoning in the world, and all the warnings of experience, wil! not prevent the banks expanding when specie ac- cumulates in their vaults. Foreign exchange showed some strength at the beginning of the week, but lost it at the close. Some bankers managed to sell bills on London at 109} for sixty days, and 109} for short sight; but on Friday and yesterday the rates declined fally 4 per cent, and at the close of the week the an- thorized quotations were 108 a } for sterling, and 5.15 a 5.174 for franes. The course of the market has been a sad disappointment to specie exporters, who sre doing little or nothing. Usually, at this season, specie flows outward freely enough, and bills 1ise to a point which leaves a profit on specie shipments. This year the supply of cotton and produce bills has been sufficient to supply the de mand from the importers; and it is likewise sur. mised the debt of the country to the foreign world is not as large as it was. The shipment of yes terday—$662,209—was the largest, thus far, by a single steamer, since January 1. Most of this amount was, however, bullion received here from California, in transitu for Europe; some parcels were likewise shipped on account of bills to be drawn hereafter. Bills on London must ad vance $ per cent here, or bullion must advance very considerably in Europe before it will be profit. able to ship gold to the other side.

There have | been some speculative purchases of the favorite | railway fancies, such as Central, Rock Island, Galena | and Michigan Southern, and there has been a good deal of activity in Pacific Mail and Panama, both | of which are in request among the brokers who are supposed to act for the directors of these con- cerns. Central was knocked down as low as 70 cash, at the middle of the week, by the passage of the Pro Rata bill through the House at Albany, and } the receipt of another nonsensical message from Governor Morgan in favor of the taxation of traffic and the crippling of commerce; but, subsequently: the barefacedness of the schemes of the Albany lobby was regarded as certain, sooner or later, to in- sure their defeat, and the stock advanced to the point at which it etood when the week began. There has not been much change in the Western thares, with ‘fle exception of Mir chigan Southern guaranteed, which advanced 3 per cent, closing 2 per cent higher than it was a week ago, No cause for the advance is assigned: except the increased business of the concern, and the conviction in certain minds that. a great trunk line of that character will not be suffered to perish eutirely, Hudson River was hammered down to 37, a decline of 3} percent, on reports thata fight was | about to take place between it and the Harlem, We explained the other day that these apprehen- sions were unfounded; the Hudson River does not seek to take away business from the Harlem, but only to build up—from a new and andrdined re- gion—a milk traffic of its own; while the Harlem which now carries passengers to Albany for a dol. lar less than the Hudson River, cannot certainly be expected to make any further reductions in the fare. The price of Hudson River rallied at the close 1} per cent, Reports of the February traffic on some of the Western roads have come to hand. They continue to show a steadily progressive improvement.
