The Stale Convention TLo political history of Tennessee speaks of feVv Conventions, more generally attended, more united in feeling and hatrcot-.ions in action, than the Sialo Den ocratii Convention held in NashvilJe on tie 17 tli inst. All portions of the S ale were repiesented by delegates in per* son or by proxy, and attended by?a class of delegates of w hom any party and any people might be justly prbuci. There were present the statesman, the jurist.'he attorney, the mechanic and the farmer, ^ each end all representing the varied in a terests of the 'State, and all animated h with the desire todiave those interests p work on in harmony.

The'latest news from Europe, which will be found elsewhere in this paper, tend to confirm the apprehensions of n general European war. The work of preparation is complete, and every fortress in Europe seems to be charged and primed for the an* ticipated conflict. The most minute exei- | ting cause may be sufficient to set the ball j in motion. Dispatches have been received J at Washington from the United States i Ministers at l.ondon, Paris, Madrid and ( Vienna, all of which speak of war in Eu- j rope as apparently inevitable, and state that business was suffering great depression in \ consequence of the disastrous prospect. What effect a general European war will i have upon the Uniled States is a question of vast moment. P. must fell disastrously j upon the price of cotton. We observe that the opinion is currently advanced, that the j anticipated conflict ill Europe w ill ultimately ; inure to Iho benefit of the United Stales. This is probably n just conclusion to the extent of the nianufscturing and grain rais* I ing (nicest*. The cotton spun in Austria, I Sardinia and other States on the Continent will remain to be manufactured in the Uni* j ted States. lfreadsliifTs will of course rise in price. The capital in Europe being direct* ed in the one great channel?the carrying on of hostilities?many speculative enterprises in the United States may llonrish in consequence ; but nowhere can we see that the consumption of cotton is to be augmented by a war, either in Europe or on the j Western Continent. Peace throughout all the world is doubtless the condition most | : conducive to the interests of the cotton growing Slates of this Union. The following is the latest upon the subject of the war. which we take from the | Charleston Courier of Saturday. The dispatches, it will be seen, are contradictory : [Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier.] j War Rumor. Washing ron.

Elections for members of Congress are to be held in the course of this yeer as follows :?Connecticut nnd Rhode Islnnd elect early in April ; in Virginia on the fourth Thursday of .May ; on hrst Monday of August in Alabama, Kentucky and Texas; on first Thursday of Angus! in Tennessee ; on j at t'ond Thursday of August in North Caro- i ? i lina ; op" first Monday of October in Georgia and Mississippi; on second Tuesday of October in Minnesota; on first Monday (7th) of October in Ixtuisinna'; .:pd on first Wednesday 12d) of November in Maryland.
