John Bell.—The Anti-Union organ of this city is elated because John Bell, of Tennessee, has gone over to Jeff. Davis. Our readers may be interested in knowing the opinions of Union papers in slave States upon the subject. The Louisville (Ky.) Journal, which supported Bell for the Presidency, thus speaks of his treason in abandoning the ranks of those who maintain and defend the Union:

A more sudden, and utter, and inglorious defection was never suffered by a sacred and imperiled cause. It must excite unspeakable mortification, and disgust, and indignation in the breast of every true and enlightened lover of his country. It is a burning scandal to the cause of constitutional liberty.

The Louisville Democrat says:

John Bell has fallen. He is no longer for the Union, the Constitution and enforcement of the laws. He is fast bound in Davis's Straits, and wants to go South. He is the last man that ought to have deserted the Union, since his only claim for the suffrages of the people was the Union. He is unworthy the gallant party that made him their leader.
