Good News from the Country.
The following extract from private letter, writ
ten by a gentleman in Maury to the editors of this
paper shows that the friends of the South have open
ed the canvass in earnest there with the hope of
great unanimity among the people:
CoLuMBIA January 81. 1861.
GENTIEEEH The friends of States Rights and
Anti-COercion had glorious time here to-day. The
large number of our citizens attending Court We're
entertained with patriotic and convincing speeches
| in behalf of maintaining rights and equality
Against sectional domination, TO the last eStrentg by
| Madison s. Frierson, N Il. Burt and A. NJ. Looney.
No one can question the devotion of these gentle
men tothe Union, so long as there was hope for
It's preservation; they were leading friends of Mr..
Bell in the recent canvass. They have taken their
position from the stern necessity of the hour They
were listened to with marked attention and almost
unanimous approval. As an evidence Of the over
whelmng tide of popular seutimen: in this county,
| 7 will also mention that VIM p Martin and VIM s
Fleming ESQ., in whose intelligence and patriotism
all parties here have confidence, have taken their
stand with us, and will use their influence to bring
/ about that unanimity so desirable among people
resisting common enemy and defending common
rights. We Will do our whole duty in old MaUry.
Urge our friends everywhere to labor for such an
overwhelming vote on the Southern side of the ques
ton as will approach unanImity among the people
| of Tennessee. Let us give the North no encourage
ment in the result of our election. -
