GREEN LEE BUTLER, Ch’in. Geo. W. Cleland, Secretary. Protest of the Sew York Women. A number of ladies, born in the Border States, but now residing in New York, have published an address to the Union Defence Committee of the city of New 1 ork, in which they say :— ‘‘They wish to protest the-deliberato and systematic inditement and fostering, by many of the New York daily newspapers, of a cruel, savage, and robber like spirit of war; a spirit of bloodthirsty malignity and unmanly hatred, prompting to deeds of murder and rapine ; a spirit be longing to wild men and wild beasts, but which ought to be rebuked among the citi zens of a humane and free government. It shows itself most in the recommendaitons to make war on helpless women and children. The editors of the TriLune, Times, Courier and Sun, not one of them, it is believed, a native of the State, whose dignity they thus degrade, do not hesitate to urge measures that involve inevitably the destruction of en tire families ; the laying waste of cities, by way of precaution ; the planning of raids in to neighboring States to drive out the pro prietors of the soil, and take possession of it as a reward for military serv.ces. Their boastialitTes have already provoked indignant comments from the Canadian press, which, with the fresh memories of Indian and Chi nese massacres by England, pronounce the United States Government in advance of all despotisms in the extent of these proposals. It is respectfully suggested that there should be a stop put to this.”— Charleston Courier. —— ... " Wheat crop of Middle Tennessee is in the most promising condition. It is growing most luxuriantly, and the yield is likely to be greater, per acre, than at any time since the over fruitful season of 1855. Some of it will bo ready for the reaper in three weeks. The Oat crop is growing fine ly ; whilst the old staple, Indian corn looks a little yfiilow from excess of rain. The prospect for an abundant crop of peaches, apples and other fruits, grown in this latitude, was nover finer.— Patriot. Hui* per* a Weekly. The last number of Harper’s Weekly Journal of Utilization contains one of the niosbM'irulent and abusive articles against the South that we have ever seen. It is the more wanton and shameless as the journal profesaes to be it a purely literary character. Wo really think such incendiary publications should not be permitted to eneulute in the Confederate Stater;. Harper sA\ eekly is not a whit less offensive than Bennett's Herald. [.V. O. Jhc. Bristol, Tenn.. Mav i. —Johnson and Nel son on approaching Blountville, we.c met by n deputation of citizens, who presented them the note of the Comiwitteo of Forty-Two.— They responded that ts a majority of the meeting did not wish to hear them, they wr.ui.J not inflict a speech upon them.— Whereupon, the vote was again taken upon the question of permitting them to speak.— The meeting was compose ! of fifteen hun dred persons. Five persons voted to hear them, three of whom came up on the train with Johnson ami Nelson, and were citizens of Carter County. Finding such an over whelming majority against them, they con cluded not to speak.

The rapid fulfilment of all the predictions of Democratic speakers and Writers, as to what would take place in our beloved coUn* try in the event of a sectional triumph in the election of a President, need not be at tributed to any gift of prophecy ; it is the re sult of the Stern Logic of Events. Pooily read in the history of governments, and a poor student of human nature, must be he who, in the face of the warfare which the BTuck Re publican party has been for years waging upon the institutions of the South, could not have foretold the disruption of the Union, and the disasters that might attend that dis ruption. Now that we have entered upon civil war, let those who would read the story of the fu ture, appeal to that same “ stern logic of events.” What does it teach ’ We speak by its instructions. It teaches that, if Abraham shall persist in attempting to carry out the policy indicated in his reply to the Virginia Commis sioners, the fifteen slave States, numbering more than 12,000,000 of people, will unite in a common cause of defending their firesides and homes. It teaches that every man, within their limits, capable of wielding a sword or level ing a rifle, will take tho field, determined, like their revolutionary fathers of old, to re pel the invader, or to die in the attempt. It teaches that, sooner or later the fate of every Northern army Stent within their bor ders, will inevitably be that which overtook those of the British tyrant which was landed on our coast to rivet on our forefathers the chains of slavery. It teaches that the armies of the North may meet with occasional triumphs ; may burn a few cities, and devastate a few fields ; may rob the Southern mother and her tender chil dren.of their peaceful and quiet homes; may here and there incite servile insurrections; but successes like those will only provoke the wrath of Heaven, and raise up for the South “ armies to fight their battles for them.” It toacacs that, at last, after one, three, seven or ten years shall have passed away, after our armies havo vanished before the never failing aim of the Southern rifle, the ir resistible Cnarges of Southern cavalry, and the terrible ravages of a Southern after myriads of Northern homes have been made desolate, and poverty and distress shall begin to stalk abroad in the streets of our cities BLd villages,—then the hearts us our people will yearn for peace, and peace will w;ome. It teaches that the independence of the Confederate States will be recognized, and that the North will be compelled at last io grant that which, in accordance with the spirit of American liberty, it should prompt ly and cheerfully concede. Such are the teachings of the stern logic of events. We put them upon record and in vite all who read this article to remember predictions founded upon them. The author ity of the Federal Government will never again be established within the limits of the Seceded States. The people of those States will Hvver again recognize that authority voluntarily, nor can they be compelled to do so b^j^’co. — Bangor (Me.) Democrat. Couiiaczcial lUruiav-u iu New York. A morning cotcin purify says there have been over two hundred failures in this city since the twenty second of April. A well-in formed mercantile gentleman assures us that the nurnMP of failures within the last month cannot be much lets than three hundred.— And this is but the beginning of the horrible end. The failures, the prostration of busi ness which we now see on every side of us, is but the commencement of the general wreck and misery which must fall upon all c’a-ses, as this cruel and unnatural war pro gresses. The price of all kinds of provisions will almost hourly increase, while the means of procuring them will constantly diminish. The amount of protested paper already in our banks, foretells a commercial crash, which must end in the annihilation of all business and in depriving hundreds of thousands of the very means of support, and of necet>siricß of life. Real estate has no sale at any price : rents must tumble enormously: the landlords will find that the tenants will be unable to pay them ; the price of provis ions will soon be entirely beyond the ability of the poorer classes to procure, and the vis age of want,* of untold distress and anguish will stand everywhere in our streets,•id in the doors of our housed While the Presi dent receives regularly his salary of $25,000 and the members of his Cabinet S6OOO a year, in the name of a righteous God, what are the poor people to do? The Administration is laying out work for a five years’ war, and when it is ended, there will be nothing to show for it, but the ruin of our merchants, the starvation and demoralization of cur peo ple, the graven of our dead, and the bleeding hearts i f cur widows and orphans. How will these men answer to a righteous and of fended God for all these nameless and need less horrors * all of which might be honora bly averted by calling a General Convention of all the States fi r the settlement of our troubles.—-V.
