cOmpOsInk The SIh COngrS ssIOnal district:
The short space of time between the passage of
the bill districtpg the State and the day of cleo
ton for Representatives to the Confederate
Congress, renders it impossible for me to
visit you personally. therefore avail myself of
the medium of a circular to make known to you
my candidacy for that position which candidacy l
assume in obedience to solicitations of friends from
various counties in the district.
At the present time, when party lines have been
obierat d, there are no political ISSUES to be dis
cussed; and believing, as do, in the wisdom as
well as the necessity of the policy of as complete
unity Of action the part Of our people as is prac
ticable, it would be manifestly improper in me to
seek to revive former party issues trust that
party spirit so happily allayed for the present,
may not be again evoked at least during the great
struggle for our national existence.
With some experience in legislation, pledge to
you, if elected honest and faithful effort to sub
serve your interest and that of our common country
by supporting, with uncOmpromising earnestness
and zeal, all measures locking to vigorous and
success, ul prosecution of the war to a triumphant
termination; that being the great and only issue
now pending before the Southern people.
Respectfully, THOMAS MENEEs.

During the first excitement in one of the great
rthern cities, after the taking of Fort Sumter, the
vigilance committee were eagerly searching for Sc
cessionists. One Of these committees consisting of
bsl of four braves, came 10 the office of a GER
tain Dr. B., asking him why he had not a flag hangS
out, and demanding of him to show his cOlors The
Doctor, an easy of the world, told them, "Gen-
temen if you come to me on business, or even to
pay me a friendly visit you are welcome at any Of
my leisure hours, but don't talk to me on political
subjects else l shall regret having to receive you
impolitey and shall eventually very politely show
you the door" Whereupon the four braves left
him, threatnIng to return and make the id Sc
ceshsr" show his colors. The next day at the
Doctors regular Office hours, band Of eight came
demanding of him to place the Stars and Stripes
over his office, something else would be shown TO
him. The Doctor, sitting in his owa easy chair.
smoking his cigar, very cody replied: My good
men, let me state to you all, once more, what
l said to some of you yesterday that l will not
permit any one to NEEDLE with my doiBgs ;
and more, that when you presist troubling me
shall rid myself of you Here am, & man who

will be overpOwered by a mob / weuld rather
throw this burning cigar in that keg of powder you
see here under my deck; sad by the almighty /
will do it now" The words were scarcely out of
the Doctors mouth before the whole bsRd was seen
making their way down stairs as quick as their
pedestrians and the narrow staircase would permit
and exhibited their faces their again A short
while after DR.. 3. related to visiting friend the

them up, what would have become of you? go
