NASHVILLE, September 12.—Both Houses of the Tennessee Legislature continued in session until near midnight, and effected a compromise by passing the militia bill in a modified form. It is now a law, which authorizes the Governor to call out any force he may deem necessary.
Before the militia can be sent to any county, application therefor must be made to the Governor by ten unconditional Union men, or three justices of the peace belonging to said county, based upon allegations that the civil law cannot be enforced without military aid.
