A War Panic- The New y«rk 'Jlnitt ventilates a plan of the Radical leaders in Congress to deprive the Pres idtiilof the control of the arms, ordnance and emmunilioo belonging to the govern sunt. The Hqns* has psesod a bill providing fur the diatri butkit,of the terms among the several States, and this iaw ii considered by the Times as the first step toward preparation for another civil war. Tils may indicate either that the Radi cal* feared that the President intended to use armed force against them and wished to deprive him of the means, or that on their part, tliey in tend to integrate ciril war against him. They probably I awe in mind a similar movement to ilucbntiaa’c Secretary of Warjoet before seces sion, When theganu belonging to.the Government were distributed among the Southern States which wen thus enabled to commence hostilities. They may mean to profit by that ettample. We think howovor that neither party need fear an other war in this generation. The Radicals, in Congress who were not among the fighters, may desire to overthrow the President by torce .but the people North and South, the real fighting men, are tired of bloodshed, and so far as the Sooth I* concerned, too much exhausted to un dertake anew war. The work of recuperation must be perfected before another season of da abaction can be endured. The North, whose whole prosperity is bound up inth* stability of the government and the yonttouagee of peace will be very Ukely to hang; higher than Hainan, him who strikes the first blow. Upon the whole we cannot help thinking that this alarm to one of the bugbears got up for party effect, which are common in times of high po-; litical excitement such as in now prevalent' at the North. It to not the first time such threats have been made and siteti apprehension* enter - tatnea, but they ware never verified except in one memorable Instance, which terminated so disastrously for all partial that nobody carts to try It again at present. Trvirssest Anxirrm.—The Tennessee Legi*. Isture, having ratified the Constitutional Amend m«nt. A resolution has passed both Houses of Congress admitting the representation from Ten neesee. It is said that the ratification by tho Tennessee Legislature was illegal, btoaure that a quorum of the House was not present, and that President Joamox while he will sign the reso lution, will protest against it not only on account "Wfcdjhi he has nothin* to do'wlth iho ml* mission of members of Congress. Bo long as Southern members ara at last admitted, it makes but very UtfU difference bow they get into Con gresa, Wa presume that only those members elect from Tennessee who are denominated “loyal” some three or four-will be admitted, the others must still etay out in the cold, for no party in Congress, and not even President Journo* him self, to ia favor of admitting the eoeatled disloyal. Tax Costintjos.—Wo don't exactly lee upon what grounds the Auguste Conitihitionaliti puts us down aa opposed to the National Convention If other people choose to engage la such exciting amusement this hot weather, we have not the slightest objection, but we should think any crowd of men, meeting together in such weather would soon resolve itself Ibta a Convention of eoap-greaee W* only said thaH.ereabojta nobody teemed to cure much about the Convention, and it i« tuf licieut proof that we were right that no meeting haa been called to send delegate! to the district Convention, and nobody baa been authorised to repraeent this county therein. Tan WxaTnxa.—The thermometer done not indicate any excessive degree of heat for the laet two or three week*—eay an average )of 97 de grees in the shade—but we have long been con vinced that thermometers were greet humbugs and never indicate tho measure-of men's discom fort in hot weather. The beat thermometer we wa know is a mao's capacity and inclination for iced drinke, sherry cobblers for instance—if a temperate man haa an exoessive longing for such beverages be may be sure the weather la hot, in spite of what the thermometer may indicate. In the Northern cities tbs temperature is said to he the highest known in twenty years and many cases of sunstroke have occurred.

Allowance ought alio to be made for the fact that tha SMsaemeute of that year were upon tbe baaii of specie while the asseaameats of this year are made on tbe basis of greenbacks. We are unable to satin ate how much difference there should be on this iccount and leave it to be made according to the judgment of those who feel In terested in the matter.

Cxonzaa !tlsa Bavaazan.—Troops from New York have brought the Cholera tothe quarantine ground at Tjbee Island near Savannah. Some twelve deaths have occurred among the troops. Tbe cholera is doubtless prevailing as an epidem ic in New York and was brought there ia pre cisely the same way as it has been brought to Savannah, by vessels arriving fiom Infected ports.

Tillaou i forwarded an application on the 18th for parrots etoo to place Stewart county, in this State, under Martial Law, on aeeonntof tha indisposition of the civil authorities to do justice to the freed ! men. Be writes; “I have repeatedly called up i on the civil authorities to enforce the law and I secure justice to all, and have offered military aa ' sistancu.

Ho*. Ro**bt Toowes.—This distinguished pa triot. now in Cube, has commissioned his angelic wife, recently returned thence to her home in Georgia, to recommend all young man of the South to remain where thev are.

Yes,sir; I would bail Davis, or yon, or any other culprit that tbe government would shame fully keep in jail more than e year, resisting and denying his just and legal demand that he be ar raigtuai end tried or let go. Yours truly, HORACE GREELY. To Mr. J. Wftaos, Jr, Waukegan. Iron-ties for cotton bales appear to he a most valuable improvement. Said to be quite 33J per cent, cheaper than rope. Many other ad vantages are claimed—as for example: Not more than a fair sample can be drawn from a bale bound with iron, and bene* the chanoes are there will be a material saving of ires weight, due to the various causes through which planters and others lose so heavily at times. A bale thus bound it less subject to injury if thrown into the water or exposed tothe weath er, and far less liable to fire, than with the ordin ary rope tie*. Cotton it said also to deteriorate lest during long storage in gin houses or cotton sheds, than the old style of bale; and we cannot doubt tha iron tic, in a little while, will work itself into general use. There it a sad state of things in East Tennes see. The Knoxville Commercial, of tho 17th, has a card from R. J.
