APPOINTMENT. by the Governor.

Last Nav when the first list of the appoint
ments mad. by Gov. HARRIS, under the act to
" raise. organize and equip provisional
foree. - was con irmed by the Legislature, We
heard it charged Thy persons who had not in
vrs,ieated the matter, but had Jumped to their
conclusions upon noticing the names of GER
tain active and Influential democrats amongst
the appointments,) that he had been govern
ed by partisan preferences This led Us to go
through the list with gentlemen who were in
formed as to the previous party relations of
the appOintees, aud we were saii>f ID that in
Justice had been done the Governor We be-
Iieved be had been governed by high and pa
triotic motives, and did not hesitate to say so.
He has since m,de numerous other appoint
ments aud his enemies still alIege that be
has exhibited preference for his old demo-
cratic supporters To show the baselessness
of this charge, aud the uagenerous partisan
ism 10 which it found birth, We give below q
communication from a gentleman of this city
who has taken the trouble to ascertain the
facts. Those f4cts show that Gov. HARRIS
has been exceedingly liberal, and IA. sought
to divide the hOnOrs equally amongst m m
bers Of the old parties.

To the Citizens of Davidson County.

Having been solicit. of late, in a mann !
quite unexpected, and by various ciiiz-ns,
fJr whose Judgment and patriotism ca
entertain but thu highest respect, to become a
candidate for seat in the Popular Branch of
the State Legislature, aud having at length
concluded to comply with their wishes, /
deem it proper to make known the fact with
out further delay. Should 1 be chosen to re-
present the good citizens of Davidson county
at a period so interesting and critical, l can
only say that such powers as possess shall
be honestly and indefatigably exerted in their
service.
l have no individual interest to promote,
no partizan obj cts TO accomplish, or parry
prejudices to crafty. can only promise 10
do my duty as faithful and Independent
Legislator, as native son of the South, and
as jealous devotee of Southern Rights and
Southern Honor. To aid in providing for the
vigorous and successful prosecution of the
war now in progress. and in all things to b.
active and vigiIant in promoting the pros
perity and happiness of the people of my
native State, will CRAFTY every ambitious
aspiration of my heart.
Should l be chosen your Representatives
you shall not lie disappointed in my endea
vors to serve you. Should others be selected
in preference, will cheerfully acqliese in
your decision.

RecqpituLafion.
Now. how stand the appointments? OF
the first ffIy-two most important Offices of
honor and profit, the Opposition hold t,casty-
seue1 aud the Democrats hold tscenty Ifue
omitting the members of the Artillery
corps, aud the Surgeons and Assistant Sur
geons of the Regiments, whose complexion of
politics il Is impossible to ascertain without
personal application, which would be rid Gu
lous. we have remaining of the Commissary
and Quarter Master L, apartments seraty- four
appointments, of which thirty eight were Oppo-
sition and thirty sir were Democrats.
Total Democrats that have been appointed,
sizty one. Total Opposition, si1ty .fUe.
Thus, how absurd and unfounded the
charge of the Banner, that Governor Harris
has slighted and wonld not trust his old party
enemies with offices of honor and profit.
Since the assault upon Fort Sumter and
the proclamation of war by the Abolition
Government at Washington, the State has
decided in favor of separation by sixty-one
thousand. OF course tie people of the State
expect that Governor Harris would make
such appointments to Office as would concur
with them and the Governor himself IN the
present position of so overwhelming major
ity of themselves.

Very respectfully,
Important Arrest of a Rebel Bearer
of Dispatches.

Edward E Rugglss, young man seven
teen years of age, Is at present detained al
pOlice headquarters by order OF Seer etary
Seward, on the charge of bein- bearer OF
dispatches from the TebI army, and also as
be ing an emissary of the rebel government.
The prisoner Is a son of Gen. Ruggles, nov
c mmander of a portion OF the re7el forces in
Virginia. He Is a very intelligent and highly
educated lad, rather progressing in APPEAR
anee, and very engaging in conversation;
quick in perception, and acute in obseTvat ton,
and seems eminently adapted TO the mission
on which he has been sent out. He l-ft
Mont gUmrTy under private instruction.,
criyed from JEFF Davis IL person, and made
bis way to Havana. From that place he
proceeded to Aspinwall, where his over in
auisitIyeneSs relative TO American, Ocean
and California steamers attracted the atten-
ton and excited the suspicion OF the Am-r-
lean Consul, Iho forwaided a description OF
his person 10 Secretary Seward. DIRECTIONS
were at once sent to Superintendent kenRrdy
TO arrest the boy as be landed il New YORK.
Detectives Eustaeeand Farley were intrust,d
with the case. The lad arrived here. anu
pu. up at a COrtlandt street hotel, under the
name of Seymour, doubtless assuming the
name TO throw the officers of the track, should
.here be any alter him. Three hours alter ills
arrival he was safe in the hands of the detec
tiyes, who at once lodged him at headquar-
tiers. The papers found upon him disclosed
a most ingenious aud elaborate plan for Cap
turing the California steamers, the details oil
which were to be carried out with The greatest
secresy. Gen. johnson, of California, was to
be in the plot. kuggles had also carefully
prepared maps aud many papers OF great
value The arrest is so important that Sec
rotary Seward telegraphed Mr.. Kennedy on
Satul day to use extra precautions in detain-
ing the prisoner. Young as he is he has no
little military experience, having been for
several years at the Naval School at An
napolis He was born in tort, was Con-
slant attendant upon his father, who held
com Mission in the army of the United States,
and is therefore well calculated to see aud
comment upon any weak points Information
OF which might be OF service TO the enemy.
The future disposition of tue prisoner rests
with the department. at Washlngton.-N. Y,
