Tennessee.

--The people of Memphis are in a perfect phrenzy of military excitement. Tennessee will give a good account of herself in the great revolution. The following is an extract from a letter dated Cleveland, Tennessee, April 19:

‘ "Tennessee is revolutionized at last. The fire burns all the more fiercely for having been repressed so long. Our boys are ready to spring to the conflict. Our Legislature meets again next week. Military companies to resist Lincoln are being organized all over the State. I expect to be in Virginia, or wherever else the fight is to be made, as soon as Tennessee can place herself in fighting trim.

"Rely upon it, our State is not going to stand neutral in this conflict."
