Ia Vote "FOR THE PER
MANENT CONSTITUTION"
Letter from Gov. Harris.

The following correspondence
between Sterling r. Cockrill, Esq,
of Nashville, and Governor Har-
ris, viii be read with interest, as
indicating the position of the Gov
ernor in this crisis. Every candid
man who reads it Will conclude
that he occl2ies the only position
which patriotism and gratitude
would dictate in the circumstances
by which he is surrounded:
NASHVILLE, July 10, 1861.
Gov. IsHAM G. HARRIs-Dear
Sir: The Legislature has adjourn
ed, and a few weeks brings the time
for State elections. This election
comes amidst the troubles Of war,
waged upon our homes and firesides
by the fanatics of the North.
This is not time for political
discussion, and the true friends OF
the soldier and the cause for which
he takes the tented field, will not
urge it.
Patriotism calls the sons of Ten
nessee to unite sword in hand, for
getting the past, and drive back
the insulting invaders. Let those
who give them aid take such YER
diet as the country will render.
The chair which you have filled
for two terms with so much ability
will by law soon be vacant. Your
duties have been severe; you have
discharged them with fidelity
Your patriotism and chivalry have
been tested, and coming events
may make it necessary to draw on
them again.
Asa manifestation of respect for
manly devotion to all the interests
Of the State, for your defiant re-
spouse to the call for men by Mr..
Lincoln; for your unwearied, bold
and chivalric bearing, in maintain
ing the high position assumed for
Tennessee; your constituents the
advocates of self government and
Southern Independence, desire You
to remain where you are.
tits, however, deemed proper by
many voters that some assurance
should be given that the duties and
labors thus imposed would not be
declined.
i am, very truly, your obi servant,
S. r. CoCKRILL.

GOVERNOR HARRIS.

There is a very remarkable
amount of unani1nity throughout
the State in favor of the reelection
of Gov. Harris, but there Is ocea-
sionally dissenting voice. The
Nashville Banner opposes the idea
with spirit and earnestness. We
have carefully weighed the Ban
ner's arguments against Gov. Har-
ris' reelection, alsd can find moth
ing in them to justify the people
of Tennessee, in this, the greatest
crisis which ever occurred in then
affairs, in displacins a public ftmc-
tionary, who is conceded to possess
all the requirements necessary tol
the discharge Of the Executive OF
flee, against whom nothing can be
urged, and who is thoroughly ac'
quainted with all our present ne
cessities, as well as with the views
of the Confederate government
His connection with the war move
ments thus far, and up to next
J October when, if another is elected
he will have become so ianlllal
with the movements, condition ant
necessities of cur troops, the STATE
of our financial arrangements, ant
with the details Of the whole mil
iitary and civil service that $40 nev
man could supply his place. W.
therefore trust that the genera
desire for his reelection, SO clearl.,
manifested in all parts of the State
may not be opposed, and that tn
public mind may not at this tim
be distracted by a contest between
rival candidates.-Cldrksrttte JeJ

PRODUCE IN CINCINNATI.-The
Cincinnati Price Current, of the
Goth ult., says that bacon is selling
there at Al, 81, and 7sc, and that
bulk meats can be bought at ST
and SIC. Lard is quoted at s and
Sic, and no demand. These arti-
cles command nearly quite double
these prices in the South. Whis-
key brings only 10 cents a gallon.
Lincoln's embargo is working the
pockets of northern men most fear
fully. Though the South would
buy, they can make out to get a.
long without these articles, but the
probability is that they will spoil
in the hands of the northern hold
ers.

Condition Of Pennsylvania Troops

The Pittsburg Pennsylvania)
Chronicle of Monday evening has
the following:
Gentlemen who visited Williams
port last week, and on whose word
we can rely, assure us that our
troops there are in a shocking state
for want of uniforms. Many OF
the men of the Thirteenth, Colonel
Rowley's regiment, are compelled
to parade in their drawers, and
when these are in any way dilapi-
dated, as is frequently the case, our
readers may judge of the figure
they cut. The uniforms furnished
the Thirteenth were made up here,
and so rotten was the stuff that
they fell to pieces within a week af
ter their distribution. We had nc
idea that they were so utterly
worthless until we examined a few
of them at the mayors office yes
terday. The material is poor be-
yond belief, and so rotten that q
baby might pull the best pair in
the lot to pieces. The State paid
s5 pair for these pants. The
18th, Col. Campbelrs regiment, is
suffering in the same way. Our
boys left home comfortably if not
respectfully uniformed; they will
return in rags. Their uniforms,
like those of the 18th, were good
for nothing, and tits only by dint
of stitching and patching that they
are kept together, Several of the
men have already written home
for their old clothes.
