i republican '‘AvVti; of' t aiflTH.—The Augusta Conatitutionaiu! ,-v opliises thus; “The de feat of our array at Corinth is a sudden and somewhat unexpected change from the repeat ed victories which have, for some time, been vouchsafed to our arms. But it should have nojdepressing effect upon our people. Reverses must he expected some times; and when they do come, they should only serve to make our people more determined in tfeeir resistance, and more energetic in their preparations. It was, no doubt, necessary to attack the enemy at Corinth, in order to prevent them from harass ing Bragg’s rear in Kentucky, or reinforcing Buel). This Van Dorn and Price have done, and will continue to do. The Federal army, under Rosencranz and Grant, will have to re main in West Teiinesaee for some time, at least. In the meantime, our armies ia Kentucky can strike prompt and effective blows; and it will not be iong before Van Dor. , tad Price will bo reinforced or joined by other trot-p -. which wi enable them to clean out West Tennessee ;s w . have done East Tennessee. “The defeat of our army at Corinta, then, is unpleasant—nay, it is saddening in the less ■■■ many gallant spirits; but tjbe object intended has, no doubt, been gained, and out of the de feat brilliant success will yet arise.” Resistance to the Passpout System.— The Richmond Whig says the authority exercised by the Provost Marshal, in requiring passport* from citizens, will shortly be practically tested by several members of Congress, who have re solved to start homeward without passport, and if detained will bring the matter to the attention courts, &c. We regret to see the law makers of the court try, to whom ali should look ‘or example, en gaged in any such business. Tt; f ' Provost Marshal has no more interest in requiring pass ports than any other citizen ; it is done solely ! for the public safety, and as it imposes but little inconvenience on honest men, all should cheer fully acquiesce, and even ai.l hi carrying out the measure of precaution, whether strictly legal or not. We thick these obstinate mem bers of Congress are doing themselves very little credit as patriots, in their selfish and ob stinate course. A good citizen will voluntari ly do what is best lor the country, and not stop to enquire whether the law compel s him to do it or not. More Yankee Tomfoolery.—' The papers contain an account of a “Democratic meeting” in New York, some ten days ago, where Lin coln and bis government were vilified as the veriest tyrants and destroyers of the liberties of the people. Several such speeches were made, all of which wound up with the cowardly ad mission that “the 6 allot box was the true and only remedy.” The North has certainly be come a nation of slaves to utter such nonsense as this. Better far submit gracefully to tyranny ! than to denounce It and then shrink from the only mode by which it can be thrown oil'. Wo should b 8 glad to know what effect a vote at the ballot box now can have on Lincoln, whose term of office expires nearly three years to come. The mord is the only true remedy for oppression, and a brave people, a people fit to be free, will not hesitate to use it. The Battles in the West. —The telegraph brings ns accounts of two great battles in the West—at Corinth and Pocahontas—each of which was attended with immeuso sacrifice of life. Yv’e regret, too, that we are unable, with truth, to claim a victory in either. Our troops appear to have fought with desperate valor, but ia each case the enemy, who were in much greater force and admirably handled, drove them back, until we were finally compelled to retire and leave both fields to the enemy. The difficulty seems to be a *aek of troops, and we cannot see how it can now bo remedied. Our Generals must, tbcrelore, exercise greater cau tion and not risk a battle until they are con vinced they are not to encounter a greatly superior force. * “Mekcer Partisans.”—'Tills company of mounted partisan l , rangers, one hundred and twenty rank and tile, was raised, organised and mustered Into service, by Capt.

To the People ol' East Tennessee. In all the speeches which I made to you in the spring and .summer of ISGI, as well as in a printed address to the people of the State, on or about the 80th of May, 1861, I declared, in substance, that if I had believed it was the ob ject of the North to subjugate the South and to emancipate our slaves, in violation of the Con stitution, I would have gone as far as the farthest in advocating resistance to the utmost extent. My attention has just been called to a urocla mation issued by the President of the Unit' and States on the 22d Sept., 1803, in which i • declares that “on the first day ol January in tb • year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, all persons held as slaves with in any State, or any designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be thencefor ward and forever free, and the executive gov ernment of the United States, including the military and Eaval authority, will recognize nr-d maintain the freedom of such persons or any ; them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.” I need scarcely remind you that one of tho evils which I dreaded and predicted as the re suits of the efforts which were made to dissolve the Union was that, in the progress of the war, they might open the way for servile insurrec tion and the overthrow of the institution of slavery. My opinions as to the ii" const Ration ality and impolicy of secession remain unchang ed, but in my last speech in Songrcss, and on various other public occasions, I have vindi cated and maintained, and still maintain, the right of revolution. On no occasion, however, did I ever assert the doctrine that a violation ol the Constitution by one party would authorize or justify similar, or other violation s by the opposing party. The paramount causes which have controlled and influenced my conduct nnd opinions were love for the Union and an un shaken confidence that we had the best consti tution and government in the world. But, of all the acts of despotism of which the civil war in which we are "now engaged has been tin prolific source, there is not one which, in the slightest degree, equals the atrocity and bar barism of Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation. Atone blow it deprives all the citizens of the slave States, without distinction, ofthAright to h. slaves, a right guarranteed fcyAR-cry C 0..: - tution he pretends to uphold, is 'ru • . makes an intimation that he will recommend to Congress to provide just compensation to U aioa masters in the slave States, but what right has he, or the government of the United States to deprive them of this property without their consent? And what assurance have they that this vague and general intimation will be ap plied to them, or that an abolition Congress, reeking with the blood of the South, and jubi lant in the possession of usurped power, will adopt his recommendation. ? We are in the midst of a sea of difficulties. Many acts have been done in the South to which we are bitterly opposed as a people, and which we who have adhered to the Union in spite of perils and dangers, could not justify or palliate. But the Union men of East Ten nessee are not now and never wore Abolition ists. The Union men of East Tennessee are not now and never have been committed to tne doctrines of incendiarism and murder to which Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation leads. What, then, is the path'of duty in the trying circumstances which surround us ? Is it to belie ail our past professions and to sustain Mr. Lincoln’s admin istration, right or wrong? Is It to justify a man, whom we had no agency in elevating to power, not only in abandoning the Constitution of the United States, but in repudiating the Chicago platform, his inaugural address and' messages to Congress, in which the absolute right to slavery where it exists was distinctly and unequivocally conceded ? Or is it, in view of his many violations of the Constitution, and this crowning act of usurpation, to join that side which at present affords the only earthly hope of successful resistance ? I am aware, my countrymen, that you will find difficulties in bringing your mind3 to the same conclusion at which my own has arrived. Many wanton and unauthorised acts of cruelty and oppression have been perpetrated among you, which, instead of changing your opinions, have only been calculated to aggravate and in tensify a heroic principle of endurance. Many of these acts have been committed in remote places, without the knowledge or approbation of the authorities at Richmond, or of those who have held the supreme command in East Tennessee, and under such circumstances that you have felt it dangerous to complain. Grad ually and slowly these outrages have at last be come known, and in the very recant proclama tion issued by Mr jor General Jones, you have the assurance that your complaints will bo heard, and the most energetic measures adopt ed to remedy the evils to which you have been subjected. • Let not, then, a sense of private and present wrongs blind you against the enormities al ready perpetrated, and stili more seriously contemplated by Mr. Lincoln’s administration. If a majority of the Republican party have been sincere in their professions of a determin ation to respect the right of slavery in the States, and if th s light of freedom is not utter ly extinguished iu the North, may wo not hope that a spirit < i resistance will be aroused in that section, which, combined with the efforts of the South, will hurl Mr. Lincoln from power, and even yet restore peace and harmony to our distracted and divided country ? But, if through fear, cr any other Cause, Mr. Lincoln’s infa mous proclamation is sustained, then we have no Union to hope for, no Constitution to strug gle for, no magnificent and unbroken heritage to maintain, lio peace to expect, save such, as with the blessing of providence, wo may con quer, The armies which have been sent near you to tantalize you with hope, have been with drawn, acd, with cool audacity, Mr. Lincoln vir tually tells you that yon have no rights. No alternative remains but to choose the destiny which an arrogant and unprincipled adminis tration forces upon us. It is almost unnecessary to declare to you that I adhered to the Union amidst good report and evil report, suffering and danger, while it was in my power to support it, and that, when my efforts were paralysed and mv voice silenced by causes beyond my control. I have cherish ed the hope that all might yet be well; but “the laet link is broken” that bound me to a government for which my ancestors (ought, and, whatever may be the course of others, I shall leel it my duty to encourage the. most per severing and determined resistance against the tyranta aud usurpers of tho Federal administra tion who have blasted our hopes and are cruelly seeking to destroy the last vestige of freedom among us. If you would save yourselves from a species of carnage unexampled ia the history ot North America, but unequivocally invited in Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation, let every man who is able to fight buckle on his armor, and, with out awaiting the slow and tedious process of conscription,’at once volunteer to aid in tho struggle against him. The r e- is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, and it cannot,, in the nature of things, be possible that a just God will prosper the efforts of a man or a government which Isas hypocritically pretended to wage war in be half of the Constitution, but now throws off the mask and sets it utterly at deixuuce No despot iu Europe would dare to exercise the powers which Mr. Lincoln, iu less than two brief years, has boldly usurped. He has suspended the writ of habeas corpus in regard to all persons who have been or may be imprisoned by mili tary authority, and thus destroyed a i ight essen tial to the liberty of the citizens, a l ight which the mailed barons of England wrested by force from King John, and inserted in the great char ter of British freedom ; a right which it caused centuries of contest to engraft upon the British constitution ; a right for which our fathers sternly struggled, and which is incorporated in every" American constitution. Ho has called armies into the field, without authority, accord ing to his own acknowledgment, and has be come a military Dictator. He now claims the prerogative to abolish slavery without our con sent ; and, if he can thus take our negroes, why may he not take our lands and every thing else we possess, and reduce us to a state of vassal age to which no parallel can be found save in the historv of the Middle Ages. Thos. A. R. Nelson. Knoxville, October 3, 1563. From a letter, dated Port ltoyal, Sept. 26, we make the subjoined extracts: Tit a NASHVILLE.

When the fi g ot- our vas salage was flung to the. fiery breeze by our ruthless foe, he was of the first to rally under the banner of Southern allegiance, and with the flower of our country’'!- manhood formed the vanguard that stayed the desolating legions. He was foremost in erecting the first company (the Burke Sharp Shooters) tfiat marched from our county, and since his enlistment has refus ed every indulgence from duty; unyielding to the repeated solicitations of friends and even to the tender importunities of idolizing home, for an absence but for a short visit. From the de fense of the coast, to tho advance of Manassas; from Richmond to tho front of Berkley, and from Manassas again to the Ilohcnlinden of the.

But actuated by the pure incentive of an ar dent patriotism he advanced to the defence of his country’s honor, and ask and no meed bat to stain his blade in the blood of h r foe, uo pro motion but that achieved by his valor. Pro moted to his command for his high military accomplishments and his universal gallantry he has fallen in the heat ol battle, successfully maintaining the most critical position to the safety of our army since tho opening of the campaign on the Potomac. The pride of his comrades; the boasted admi ration of his friends, the soul impassioned solace of a widowed mother ami aunt, he now sleeps amidst the bravest of the brwe.

At the close of some conferences, in which the position of the States of the South was seriously examined, the French Government, in harmony with Russia, proposed tho recognition of those States to England. Motives of French interest on which the attention of the Emperor has been particu larly fled, chiefly determined him to adopt this step. The importance of the English interests involved in this question will, it is thought at Paris, induce England to unite with the other two powers. The answer of the British Cabi net to the proposition of France is not yet, known.
