MEssRs SLoCUMB MOsLEY AID HUMPHREY:
GENTLEMEN " our letter informing me that have
been unanimously nominated, by the convention which
met at GodsbOrO, on the Isl list, candidate to rep
the third Congressional District IN the inst Con
gngs OF The Confederate States under the permanent
Constitution has been received. This selection, must
confess is quite unexpected. 1t is true that my name
has been uCiden ally mentioned, 10 connection with this
distinguished position, yet never for moment suppOs
ed would receive the nomination, as there were Other
names much more prominently before the District, and
as have made no effort, either here or elsewhere, tC
have my name before the Convention, but have, IN the
lew conversations have had, always discouraged 1t, the
nomination has then been made without my seeking
and think ought not to decline. In accepting then
permit me to say, | fear you Lave appreciated tol
highly my humble ability. We are just on the eve o.
starting a new Government of adjusting and putting
its machinery in motion this is work OF 10 ordinary
magnitude but one which ought to bring forth our bes
and most experienced men and one requiring much
more legislative experience and ability than L eve
claimed
The short period from new until the day of election
together with other private engagements VIII render
utterly impossible for me to canvass the Dstrlct-ln
deed this is no time for political discussion. Old part
issues are gone, passed away, and we are now IN th
midst of most important crisis, requiring all Oh GU
energies and to engage in political discussions Whel
country is threatened would not only be unpatrl
otto, but worse than folly. l am glad to believe tina
we are all now of one mind, and united people, with
out party distinctions to the great contest IN whlc
We are engaged, having common destiny and ineres
TO protect ard defend and that will prosecute thl
unholy with boldness and vgor, until We are fire
and conteDted and happy people
You will please accept, individually, my thanks, TO
your kind solicitation

TO TIE PEOPLE OF EAST TENNESSEE.
In assuming command Of the military forces
Of this division, cannot forbear an earnest
appeal to oil who have preferred the old
Union, no longer TO resist the recent decisions
at tho ballot-box by overwhelming majorites
of the people Of Tennessee. The military au.
thl rites are not here to offend or ipjure the
people but to insure peace to their homes,
by repclling invasion and preventing the intro.
duction of the horrors of civil war. Treason to
the State cannot, viii not be tolerated. But
perfect freedom of the ballot box has and will
be accorded; and no mans rights, property or
privileges shall be disturbed. All who desire
peace eau have peace, by quietly and harm
Iessiy pursuing their lawful aVocations But
Tennessee having taken her stand with her
sister States OF the South her honor and
safety require that no aid shall be given
within her borders to the arms Of the tyrant
Lincoln.
We have asked of the North recognition of
our political equality, and have been refused
We have asked for terms merely under which
we could enjoy sense OF safety to our pro!
pertv and time-honored institutions, but in
vsin. Under such circumstances the States Of

long-repeated and vexatious intermeddliug with
our rights. The North was deaf to justice, be-
cause they believed they had the power't
crush US If We rebelled. With terrific threats
they moved great armies upon US. Those
armies have been driven back with havoc and
CONSERVATION. Heaven has smiled upon the
South--blrssing her with rich harTeSts and
heroic sons. The North is already shaken as
with palsy-her late arrogant SOL
diers filed with apprehenson-hcr late boast
ed revenue dwindlcd to stern necessity
for direct taxation. Can there be rccreaut
sons Of Tennessee who would strike ut their
brothers, while thus struggling for Southern
honor and independence or who would invite
the enemy over the border, to inaugurate war
and dcsoation amid our own fair fields? There
can be but few such. If sny, it were better
for their memory had they per;shed before
such dishonor Let not the Union men Of the
late contest at the ballot box, among whom
personally know so many TO be patriotic and
true men, DC carried along by excitement or
passion into SO deplorable an extreme. Though
differing upon the late political questions, we
are all TenneSSeanS For the honor and glory
of Tennessee let US be, as heretofore, shoulder
to shoulder in battle, or peacefully at home,
not sorrowing when victory perchas on the
standards Of Tennessee regiments.
