Houtberu Right* Meeting*
A large aud enthusiastic meeting of tba

Gardner and F. O. Hurt were appointed a
committee to draft resolutions expressive of
the sense of the meeting. They retired, and
offered the following:
Resolved, That this meeting has learned with
profound regret that a serious conflict of arms
has just occurred in tbe neighborhood of ihe
city of Charleston between the forces of (he
General Government and those of the South
ern Confederacy, and that we deeidedly con
demn the aeta of the Admioistrairon whioh
have evidanly produced the dsy lo» able at ate
of affairs.*vndjthat we htartily sympathise with
our Southern brethren, who have been so un
justly and needlessly forced (o experience the
inconvenience and honors of civil war.
Resolved, That we cordially endorse the
spirit of the “ Porter Resolutions,” iu whioh
the Legislature of Tennessee declared by an
unanimous vole that her people would resist
at all hazards, and to* the last extremity, any
attempt by armed forces to reduce the people
and 8'fttes of tbe South to (be extremity of
submission or resistance.
Resolond, That we likewise fully approve
the following resolution recently adopted by
the Convention of Virginia, to- wit: That it is
an indispensable condition that a pacific policy
towards (he seceded States should be adopted;
that no attempt to tuhjcoi them to Federal
authority should be made ; that the Federal
Government Bbouid not reinforce nor recap-
luro the forts, arsenals, or other properly ,
nor exact payment of dues; and that all the
forts in Ihe seceded States ought to be evacu
ated.
Resolved, That (be present crisis imperious
ly demands of all pairiolio citizens cf Ten
nessee that they should at once relieve them
selves from the trammels of party, and stand
up firmly and fearloss'y, as one man, in sup
port of the endangered rights of !hc South.
After the adoption of the resolutions, able
speeches were made by Col. Henry Frazier,
Col. V. K. Stevenson, Gen. F. K. Zollicoffer,
John C. Bursb, M. Vaughn, L-q., Col. A. W.
Putnam, Geo. Maney, Esq., and Hon. U. S.
Foote.
At a late hour the meeting adjourned until
Monday evening.—Nashville Gazette.
The Highest 81 ate of the Negro.
That socially and politically the negro is
not ,the equal of the Caucasian is admitted
generally at tbe North. Black Republican
New York, when voting for Lincoln, repudia
ted tbe idea of negro euffrage, and some of
the States of the Wes', that committed the
same blunder At tbe last election, actually ex-
0 ude tbe negro from their borders. Such a
condition of inferiority, though in accordance
with natural laws which have stamped on the
negro a deficiency in menial vigor and in the
faculty of will, is far from satisfactory. It
leaves (he negro an alien in ihe land of his
birth, and a Pariah and outcast from society.
Very different is that relation which gives
him a patron and protection iu the yiominant
race, who stands sponsor for him to society
and who is responsible for him to tbe laws.—
Tbe position of the negro is (here defined;
bis duties are plainly recognized; he is relief
ed from the struggle fur existence with a
straugo race, and Irum the influence of pre
judice aod oppression; he has but a single
master to whom be is responsible, who watches
over his well being and comfort, and in old
age and sickness supports and protects him.
His existence, it is true, is not idle; though
relieved from the tares whioh betong to a
highly artificial state of society, he shares in
its benefits and enjoys tbs blessings of civili
zation without being subjected to the suffer
ings and calamities that befall so many of tbe
dominant race. The increase of tbe race aod
1 be longevity of individuals a’test that slav
ery is the best possible condition of the negro.
To emancipate is to destroy tbe negro, uuless
it would, at tbe sametime, separate him from
contract with the more powfnl family. Eman
cipation is death—slavery is life. Freedom
for the negro is that of the savage- to elevate,
ameliorate and Christianize him is the work of
slavery. The true philanthropy and reeptet
for the happineaaof the negro teach that slav
ery, as it exists at tbs South, confers the
greatest good on his race. It is the highest
and happiest status he has ever reached, and
the true friends of the African are the sup
porter* of this institution which makes him
the companion and friend of the white, and
links the latter, by the potent ties of self-in
terest, to watch over and protect him and his
Who would sever these friendly, confidential
and pleasant relations ’in which the superior
and inferior assume so naturally their position

Warlike Praparatflona.
An intelligent correspondent, writing tram
Troy, N. Y., thue ioeerihoe Ihe aetlvo pre
paration* going oo at ihe U. 8. Arsenal a in
that place for the subjugation of the South :
The works aro kept going nighi and daj,
no foreraission of aoy kind permitted, and (be
Snbbath day is even entirely disregarded. I
succeeded In visiting Ihe work lael night,
about midnight, aad found every department
in full operation. Largs numbers of mow were
engaged, with lanterns hanging Ammiheeeil-
iug, iu filling np six, twelve nnd iwoatj-four
pound cartridges, which as soon as filled,
transferee! to other partiee, where (hey were
placed In boxee for shipment. In another
room I found a large number of men bntily
engaged in chargiog bombshells with powder,
others engaged in filling sheila with bullets
and running them full of melted rosin; ike
latter were taken when filled to another room,
and there, with machinery, n hole about three
quarters of an Inoh in diameter was drilled
iato the bullets and roe in; then they wore
taken iato another room nnd oharged with
powder. A very ingenious fuse completes this
deatbMlealiog projectile; It is made at lend,
of a size just to fill the aperture in the sbelle,
and is registered into seconds, eo that tbe ex*
act time that will elapse before explosion, nf*
ier leaving the gun, een be established to n
second. Taken altogether, ibis shot la a most
ugly looking euetoraer. 1 saw, also, largo
quantities of canister and grape, rifle nod
tuusket balls and all known implements of
war being prepared for shipment. I visited
(he grounds again this morning, and the ener
gy and acivlty whioh were so apparent last
night were more evideot to-day. Two hun
dred thousand rounds of ball cartidges wore
being plaoed on board a barge lying near;
numbers of teams were busy diawiog lo ike
boat cannon balls, canister and grapeahot,
grenades, bullet and rifle balls, csrtirdges,
guns and gun carriages, mortars, and, in fact,
every article used in war. What struck me
aa remarkable was tbe large number of
siege guns and marriages that were going
on board, as 1 could not conceive of whatpos
sible use they could be in the South except to
the secessionists, unless the administration had
determined “to carry the war into Africa,"
and recapture the forts in the Sooth held by
tbe secessionists.
I endeavored to gain some information from
tbe officers at the poat, but they were either
very discreet or else they knew nothing. 1 in
cline to the latter opinion. They ptetended
they did not even know the destination of all
or any of the munitions of war which the gov
ernment had ao suddenly ordered.
****■*•» *
You mny rest assured, from wbat I have
seen here, that civnl war is about to be be in
augurated. There is no mistaking these in
dications, and a fortnight hence will see the
republic plunge into a contest wbiob will on
ly terminate with the otter exhaustion cf both
parties, with nothing gained and everything
lost. Truly ws have fallen upon evil times.
Demagogues have usurped the plaoea of pa
triots. God save opr country.
Thought.
How many men in the world think ? In tho
coramou acceptiou of tho term, wo presumo all
men think more or lees. But ere there not n
great many who think of nothing benefiuul
either to themselves or to the world T Head-
er, did you ever wonder wbat thought was?
Did it ever occur to you that it resembled De*
ity in its ubiquity ? The lightning cleave* the
cloud, end flashes along the wire, but swifter
nnd more pervading than this, is this great at
tribute it enoirolee the world, grasps the
stars, and reaohta unto heaven in its aspira
tions. It has lighted tbe world wuh joy,
caused the wilderness to rejoioe, and the de
sert to blossom as the rose. It Is tbe disting
uishing characteristic of mao ea earth, nod
elevates him in lbs scale of social and moral
being. It is tbe great fountain to whioh he
must look for enjoyment and happiness. Then
how important it is that tbe fouotaia should
be kept pure nnd unoentaminaied, for unless
it be tbe waters that issue from it will pnrtnke
of tbe same nature as the corrupt fountain—
like the waters of llarah, they will bn bitter.
Descending the stream of lime, Ikons the
vast ages rf the past, thie great element of
our nature baa been oamulatfVe. “Like some
vast river of unfailing source,” it bee flowed
and still continues to low msjeetieally along
widening aod deepening In its onward coarse,
by accessions from the mountains and the
hills, from the vales nod valleys of life.—
Though no noise is heard at Its approach—
though no martial strains horald it like aa ar
my coming with sabros glittering In tbe sun,
end banners streaming to tbe wind, mill when
these bare perished with all their pomp Md
splendor this will livn onward and upward
toraver.
You cannot prescribe Its bounds—ne King
ean chain it, no dungeon oonfino it, for It in
immaterial, Invisible, intangible. It entere
tbe palaces of kings, rovols in their splendor,
and departs at its own bidding, wrapt Inihn
drapery of its own inherent greatoeee. It ea
ter* the lowly hut, or tho smoking cabin,
shares wiib the bumble pos-eeeor bis lowly
eotioh and humblo fare, and departs refreshed
aod invigorated. It travels tba world aver
without a passport, and returns laden with alt
the treasures of earth. 8uch is thought, than
juuog man apply to it yonr beet energies, aad
you will noon bo rewarded for tho labor.—
