EAST TENNESSEE.
CONVENTION FOR A SEPARATE STATE GOV
ERNMENT.
Knoxville, May 4, 1860.
A Convention, called to consider the pro
pricty of organizing a separate State Govern
ment for East Tennessee, met at Knoxville
yesterday. Judge Samuel Rogers presided
He said lie hoped that the members would
act deliberately and with caution. This was
but an adjourn oil meeting of the Convention
held at Greenville during the dark hours of
the rebellion. Wc propose to continue the
movement. It is no secession movement. If
we secede it will be from the rebel to join the
Union people. The new State can be made
one of the richest in the Union.
At the conclusion of the remarks of Judge
Rogers, Colonel Temple, from the Committee
on Resolutions and Business, reported an ad
dress, which was unanimously adopted, sta-
tin^ that the scheme liad been long cherished
by^East Tennessee. There is a difference in
the soil cf East and West Tennessee. The
habits and customs of the people are also dif
ferent. These differences are ineradicable.—
West of the mountains the people are rebels,
and cast of them they are all Union. To pro
tect ourselves we must disfranchise them.—
Wc will not be dragged into false positions as
to the Union by other Southern States. We
believe that separate State government is the
best, and that under it we can live in peace
and develop onr resources.
The address concludes with statistics as to
population, number of square miles, mineral
resources, etc., of East Tennessee.
Resolutions opposing the address of the
Committee and advising a postponement of
tbc question, until Congress decides whether
Tennessee is a State or not, were offered by
Mr. James, a delegate from Hamilton.
The resolutions of Mr. James were almost
unanimously voted down.
After an eloquent address by CoL Nelson
supporting the movement, the President of
the Convention was instructed to appoint a
committee of three to bring the question be
fore the Legislature.
A committee was appointed to prepare an
address to the people of East Tennessee.
EXPLOSION OF THE TIGRESS.
BOAT A TOTAL WRECK AND SUNK.
All on board but three lost.
From the Nashville Banner, Cth.
The steamer Tigress was a large and pow
erful towboat, and the Primn Donna, which
she hail in tow, was a very large stern-wheel
boat, which was being towed to the ways at
Cairo, or some other city above Memphis.—
The letter gives no explanation as to tlie cause
of tlie disaster, and wc are left to infer that
from the apparent terrible force of tbc explo
sion, that it resulted from a very large head
of steam, for under the circumstances—the
high stage of water, tho swift current, and
immense power required to drive both steam
ers up the river—it must have required a large
head of steam.
The Prima Donna now lies tied to the Ar
kansas bank, opposite Fulton, Tcnn.
After lying at Memphis for a few days, the
Tigress took her in tow, passing that city on
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, and upon
arriving at about a mile and a half above
Fulton, late in Jthe night, tlie Tigress ex
ploded, as will be seen by the following let
ter :
Fulton, Tenn., May 3, I860.
Captain Musslemon, Steamer Southerner:
Relow please find a list of killed and
wounded on board of tho ill-fated steamers
Tigress and Prima Donna :
Killed—Captain and wife, first engineer,
carpenter, tlirce deck bands, one fireman
badly scalded; tlirce deck hands of the Prima
Donna, scalded slightly. All tlie officers of
the Prima Donna saved. The steamer Adam
Jacobs qame up shortly after, taking all the
wounded aboard.
Tho steamer Tigress was towing the Prima
Donna, and when one and a half miles above
Fulton, she exploded both boilers killing all
on board but three persons, and they being
badly scalded. The Captain and his wife
were asleep at the time and tvere blown into
the river, never being hpard from afterwards.
Tlie Tigress sunk two minutes after the ex
plosion, which rendered it impossible to save
any one on board.
The above list is very incomplete, but is all
that is known.
Dickenson & Alexander.
Gone Under.—We rather think that when
nead-Centre Stevens arrives here from Ire
land he will find Fcnianism dead and alto
gether beyond resurrection. Not only does
it exhibit no signs of life, but its renewed vi
tality would be against th<? established na
ture of things, and the fixed laws of humbug.
In ten or twenty years Irish discontent may
again organize itself, but it may be consider
ed settled that it will not 'be in tho form of
Fcnianism. Had Stevens come here a couple
of mouths since, lie would have had a very
high time; hut what with the doleful fizzle
in Ireland, and the ridiculous fizzle here, tho
mercenary motives of the leaders and the ir
remediable deficiency of money, the fights of
the factions against each other and also their
hannlessness toward the common enemy, all
that the Head-Centre will find himself invited
to will be tho baked meats of the funeral.—

On Thursday last a torpedo, which

a vessel’s cable. It lifted an immense volume
of water, and presented quite a grand ap

from the army, to marry their liberators and

The Burning of Columbia—Another Letter
from Gen. Wnde Hampton—now it was
Deceived in the Senate.
In the U. S. Senate on Tuesday, May 1st.,
Mr. Johnson read the following letter from
Gen. Wade Hampton, on the subject of, Co
lumbia, S. C.:
Wild Woods, Miss., April 21, i860.
To Hon. Bneriy Johnton, U. 8. Senate:
Sir :—A few days ago, I saw in the pub
lished proceedings of Congress that a peti
tion from Benjamin Kawles, of Columbia, $.
C., asking compensation for the destruction
of his house by the Federal army in February 1 ,
1865, had been presented to the Senate, ac-
companied by a letter from Major-Gtyi. Sher-
man.
In this letter Gen. Sherman uses the fol
lowing language:
u The citizens of Columbia set fire to thou-
ands of bales of cotton rolled out into the
streets, and which were burning before we
sentered olumbia, I, myself, was in the city
ns early as 9 o’clock, and I saw these fires,
and knew that efforts were made ..to extin
guish them, but a high and strong wind kept
them alive.
I gave no orders for the burning of your
city, but on the contrary, the conflagration
resulted from the great imprudence of cut
ting the cotton bales, whereby the contents
were spread to the wind, so that it became an
impossibility to arrest tlie firc,
I saw in your Columbia newspaper the
printed order of Gen. Wade Hampton, that
on the approach of the Yankee army all the
cotton should be burned, and _ from what I
saw, myself, I have no hesitation in sayiig
that he was the cause of the destruction of
your city.”
This same charge made against me by Gib.
Sherman, having been brought before tbe Sen
ate of tbe United States, I am naturally most
solicitous to vindicate myself before the same
tribunal. But my State has no representative
in that body. Those who should be her con
stitutional representatives and exponents
tlierf arc debarred the right of entrance into
those halls. There are none who have the
right to speak for the South, none to partici
pate in the legislation which governs her,
none to impose the taxes she is called upon to
pay, and none^to vindicate her sons from mis
representation, injustice or slander.
Under these circumstances, I appeal to you
in the confident hope that you will use every
effort to see that justice is done in tlfis mat
ter.
I deny, emphatically, that any cotton was
fired in Columbia by my order. ,
I deny that tbe citizens “set fire to thou
sands of bales rolled out into the streets.
I deny that any cotton was on fire when the
Federal troops entered the city.
I most respectfully ask of Congress to ap
point a committee, charged with the duty of
ascertaining and reporting all the facts con
nected with the destruction of Columbia, and
thus fixing upon the proper author of that
enormous crime the infamy he richly de
serves.
I am willing to submit the case to any lion
est tribunal. Before any such I pledge my
self to prove that I gave a positive order, by
direction of Gen. Beauregard, that no cotton
should be fired; that not one bale was on fire
when Gen. Sherman's troops took possession
of the city; that he promised protection to
the city, and that in spite of his solemn prom
ise he burned the city to the ground, deliber
ately, systematically and atrociously.
I therefore most earnestly request that
Congress may take prompt and efficient mea
sures to investigate this matter fully. Not
only is this due to themselves and to the rep
utation of the United States Army, but also
to justice and to truth.
Trusting that you will pardon me for troub
ling you,
I am very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Wade Hampton.
Air. Sherman said he could not allow this
charge of this most impudent rebel against
the whole army, to be entered upon the rec
ords without some answer. The charge of
General Sherman in relation to the burning
of Columbia, was in an official report, and
was fully sustained by reports of other officers.
General Sherman did not charge that Wade
Hampton gave an explicit order on the subject,
but simply that his previous order in relation
to the burning of cotton, &c., led to that re
sult. Mr. Sherman read from various official
reports to confirm the charge against General
Hampton.
Air. Fessenden objected to the practice of
taking up tlie time of the Senate in reading
letters addressed not to*tlie Senate, but to in
dividual Scnntors, and especially on matters
pertaining to private controversies between
persons not members of the Senate.
Air. Johnson moved the reference of Gen.
Hampton's letter to tlie Committee on Alili-
taiy Affairs, or lie was willing to have it lie
on the tabic.
Air. Fessenden hoped it would not be re
ferred or ordered to lie on the tabic, but that
the Senate would refuse to receive it.
Air. Conness said that a man who would
attempt to destroy the Government of the
United States would certainly not hesitate to
bum a city. He hoped the letter of Wade
Hampton would not be received or consider
ed at ail by tho Senate.
Mr. Johnson then withdrew the letter ot
Gen. Hampton.

ple professions of political honesty. He stip

franchised slaves,' and repadiate the
debt contracted for tlie purpose of the rebel

Gen. Lee’s Testimony—The True Policy
to be Pursued Toward the South.
From the London Times, April 19.]
The utmost thnt can reasonably be expect
ed from a people situated like tbe Virginians
is such a political conformity as Gen. Lee
declared to exist. It is barely twelve months
since these men were engaged in one of the
most desperate wars ot modern times—a war
fought out to “the bitter end” with every
circumstance of passion and fury. To expect
that they should now look with positive affec
tion on their conquerors, condemn their most
eminent countrymen os traitors, and repudiate
as abominable tlie principles for which they
sacrificed their fortunes and staked their lives
is beyond all reason. It is enough if they
know themselves beaten, if they accept the
results without reserve, if they cherish no idea
of deferred rebellion, ancl if they arc
prepared to return to their former
position with a resolution to perform all
their duties as citizens, and with a readiness to
receive the warmer impression which time and
intercourse may bring. These are actually
tho feelings with which Gen. Lee describes
them os now animated. More, it must be evi
dent, could not bo expected, but if more is
desired it is manifest that tlie result can only
be secured by that very policy which the Pre
sident lias avowed, arid which the Radicals
are so lunatically opposing. If something is
still to be done—as nobody need deny—be
fore a Virginian can look upon the Union as
he looked ten years ago, it can only be ac
complished, os Gen. Lee affirmed, by liberal
and conciliatoiy conduct on the part of the
Government It passive acquiescence is to be
converted into cordial sympathy, it. must be
by kind and generous treatment. The policy
of the Radicals is stultified by their own pro
fessions. They'pretend to desire n more sym
pathizing South than they have already got,
and then, to improve Southern feeling, they
propose to inflict political disgrace and hu
miliation on the Southern neople. They pro
nounce them to be still Disaffected, or not
sufficiently well affected, and, by way of con
ciliating them, would condemn them to alie
nation and outlawry. Snch a policy stands
self-convicted, for its only result must be to
make bad worse.
It is not probable that a Virginian looks
upon the Government of tho Union exactly
like a New Englander; no reasonable person
would expect that he should do so. It is
enough for the purposes of prudent recon
struction if the States lately in s- cession have
abandoned all ideas of independence, and
are prepared to make the best of their posi
tion as members of the Union once more.—
The rest must necessarily be a work of time,
but it will be accomplished most speedily, as
well as most surely, through such a policy as
the President now advocates. He ^does *not
desire to swamp the South with p swarm of
black voters, nor to place tbe negro in a posi
tion of invidious and perilous antagonism
fashio'n they prescribe. The policy of the
President, on the other hand, is a policy not
only of moderation, but of premise. It bids
fair to bring back tbe South to those senti
ments of perfect concord which the Radicals
pretend to demand. It is Gen. Lee’s opinion
that such a policy, aided by tbe indispensable
co-operation of time, will really produce this
effect, but it needs no argument to show that
a policy of provocation and oppression, con
tinned after victory must intensify and per
petuate that very hostility which it is intend
ed to extinguish.
Bombardment of Valparaiso
The New York Herald’s correspondent
gives an elaborate account of recent opera
tions by the Spanish fleet against the city of
Valparaiso. We extract the fallowing par
ticulars :
DAMAGES TO VALPARAISO.
Notwithstanding tho promise of
Nunez to respect all church and
the city,composed alone of private residences
The churches are all situated in localites re
mote from the public buildings, anil were,
designated by large whito flags. They could
not have beeu struck by shot unless the Span
iards had intentionally fired at them. None
of the churches ^or hospitals received less
than three shots ; and the Convent of the
Barron, on the hills, which was occupied by
women and children, was struck twenty-one
times. Two women were killed in tbeii
festo. Shots were also fired at the groups o:
spectators a mile from the business part oi
the city, rendering it necessary for the author
ities to station a line of sentries along the
ridges back of the town, so as to prevent the
people from collecting in crowds and thus
drawing tho enemy's fire.
THE TOTAL LOSS.
Is estimated at twenty millions of dollars.—
Four large bonded warehouses, with their con
tents, and twelve squares of the business part
of the city were burned. Fortunately, a great
proportion of the property bad been removed
from the private buildings, so that these
losses are limited to the value of the struc
tures. The warehouses, however, were full of
American. French, English and German goods
there having been no opportunity to get out
any property from the Custom house, except
from the long bnilding left standing and
shown in the map. This structure was badly
battered by the shot,” but can be repaired
without great expense. There is scarcely a
mercantile house in Valparaiso which has
not suffered more or less from the destruction
of the custom houses. As the books and pa
pers of these firms are still out of the city it
is impossible to give more than a few names of
loosers. I have been able to glean only the
following estimates of individual losses in the
mercantile community, and these must be
taken only as approximate estimates. In my
next letter I shall probably give a detail,
statement of personal losses.

DAMAGE TO FUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Tlic damage sustained by the public build
ing3 is considerable, but can be repaired with
out great expense. About two thousand pro
jectiles, principally thirty-two pound solid
shot, were thrown into the city. Of this num
ber the palace received sixty-one, the ex
change nineteen, and the railroad station 29.
The number which strnqfc the custom houses
of course cannot be ascertained since the fire,
but was very great. It is estimated that the
following sums will repair the buildings
above mentioned: Palace, $2,500; exclianj
$2,000; and tbc railroad depot, $,2,500'
Refusing to Bury Their Dead.— 1
Frecduien’s Bureau for the district of West
Tennessee have given notice to the city au
thorities ot Memphis that the bureau will
no longer relieve tbe city from the respon
sibility of burying its own colored paupers.
The unfortunate negro who is old or in
firm now realizes the meaning of the Presi
dent’s words, “The colored people will soon
find out who are their real friends.” As long
as Sambo is strong and healthy and able to
earn wages, tlie bureau is his good friend—
lie is able to pay charges and to contribute to
the luxury ot tbe assistant commissioner; but
the poor devil that has been decoyed from a
comfortable home, without the pith in
his arms to cam his daily bread, 13 thrust
away from the precincts of the bureau, and
his corpse left upon tho wayside like the car
cass of an animal, to bo buried by The tardy
officers of the corporation.
Hints to Young 3Len who go Visiting.—
When papa tells John to bring in the door
mat, you had better be looking for your bat.
When, from the passage, mama asks, in a
very audible tone, it the gas is still burning
in the parlor, it is about time for you to
leave.
Wlieu tbc young lady wonders “Why
brother is out so late,” it is a gentle.bint that
your sister is wondering at your absence.
When little Charlie comes in anil says he
want9 “to go to bed,” you can rest assured
that he lias been sent in.
C3T* Few persons, we apprehend, were
aware of the extent to which apparently
modest ladies were wiping to exhibit them
selves, till the present style of hoops, small
at the top and very large at tlie bottom, came
in vogue. A lady was surprised, recently, on
remarking to a gentleman friend that the
“spring opening” was at hand, by his replying,
“Yes, I suppose spring has come, for I see
the ladies have taken off their flannel petti
coats.” ‘ And this saucy individual had no
better chance for observation than every man
on the street has.—Spring■ Repub.
(FSrSuch is the cupidity of the male nurs
es in theParis hospitals, stimulated by dealers
in hair, the moment a female patient dies her

at tlie Hotel Dieu is said to have made 800
francs by selling the liair and teeth of dead
patients in his ward} lor dentists arc as eager
purchasers ot corpses' teeth as hair-dressers

pgr* la view ol the approaching hot and
sickly season in the capital, rdoms are being
fitted up for the President and his family at
the Continental Hotel, Long Branch, N. J.—
The family will probably repair there early,
leaving the President to follow on the ad
