Extra SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
We arc informed by unquestionable
authority that an extra session of the
Legislature Of this State will be called
by the Governor, to assemble on the
second day of January next. and that
special elections will be ordered in all
districts where there are vacancies. 1t
is to be hoped that Saginaw county will
send sane man and resident, this
time, be his politics what they may
The lying, rascally report Of our late
misrepresentation, DIR. Hill of Ohio, we
hope has had the effect to open the eyes
of our people to the necessity of looking
after their own interests. There is little
to be done, it is true, but we don't want
that little on the part of our member to
run all to little pills" aud abuse, as il
did last winter. Let both parties nom
mate men Of character and common
sense, and we shall not again be dis
graced, lot the election result as it may

EEThe steamer Sea Bird, Capt. j

last Wednesday, and left on Thursday,
taking considerable cargo of salt and
shingles. Owing to the prevalence of
sautherly winds for some time, the wa

Are Home Guards Exempt from
nril12

A large number of letters have been ad-
dressed to the Governor and other officers
of the State, civil and military, inquiring
as to whether Homo Guards are exempt
from drill The following letter is inten
ded as general answer to these inquiries.
We understand that the Adjutant- Gene
raj has sought the o'inion of eminent
legal gentlemen, and they have sustained
his Interpretation Of the law:
LETTER FROM THE ADJ. GENERAL
ADJUrANT-G GENERAL OFrIcE,
Nashville, Tenn, July 5th, 1861.
CAPT. R. A. WILSON, N. Providence, Tenn
Sir: Your letter of the 1st inst, to
Governor Isham G.. Harris, was received
and by him referred to this Office for reply.
Your inquiry in substance is: Are the
Ho9f yards organized under section 16
of tnSAct Of the 9th of May, 1861, "to
organize and equip provisional force,
and for other purposes" exempt from
drill under the general militia laws of the
State?
If they be exempt from. drill it is by an
implied exemption resulting from the du
ties imposed by said act of the 9th Of
May. So far as we know there is no law
directly exempting them
| Said act, it seems to us, contemplates a
military organization separate and distinct
from that of the militia throughout the
State. Its object, it is true, has more i'm
mediateiy in view the suppression of ont.
breaks among the slave population, and
their subjugation to order and discipline,
within the limits Of each county. But
notwithstanding this, it seems, such duties
under the various provisions of said see,
ton, are incompatible, or msy become so,
with militia duty IF under the com,
mands of the general county commander
how can they be expected to attend mill.
tia drill? The Legislature is not sup.
posed to have subjected militia men to
fines and penalties when serving as Home
Guard Minute Men, and discharging the
very duties to their country imposed by
said Act
1t is to be observed that the question o
liability TO drill and that of being subject
to service as militia, in the event the pub
he safety demanded call upon that arm
Of the.public defence, are wholly different
AS eorrobarative of the foregoing view
| refer you to section OF "An Act to r,'
peal part of section 1868 of the Code, anC
for other purposes. passed 2sth June
1861, which is as follows;
"That all military companies that have
been formed for the purpose Of drilling
and have elected their officers shall bt

The following from an influential citi-
zen OF Wilson county, was written before
Col. Polk was announced Maj. HENRY
will not be candidate, we understand,
but the political reasons which our cores

equal force to to Col. Polk, and shows the

tor, Hon. G. A. Henry, for the Office Of
Governor. Without discrediting the
claims and qualifications of others, no one
will deny but what the qualifications of
Major Henry in every respect rem
der him peculiarly qualified for the Office
of Governor, now made doubly important,
because Of the peculiar cxigencies of the
times. IS
Fair play is jewel East and West
Tennessee have each had governor two
terms, since Middle Tennessee had rep

We know it is no time now to draw old
party lines, and it is no part of the object
Vi JHlb 10 ~ 50.
We do not claim for Maj. Henry that he
is Whig or a Know Nothing, but we
claim that he is the very embodiment Of
patriotism, and withal, that he is true
Southern man.
Let utin the approaching canvass have
but one candidate. If the two old parties
each have a candidate, it is probable that
the Union element will also have candi-
date, with no prospect, of course, of sue
cess yet such a contest would lengthen
and strengthen the divisions unforsunate-
ly existing among our people. BY an an.
alysis of the late vote il will be seen that
a small majority az least of the Union
votes belonged to the Wing or Opposition
party. All we ask for, then, is man who
can heal the present divisional man in
whom that party have confidence-a man
who can unite the whole people upon the
destiny Tennessee has already taken--a
man whom they have loved and honored
in other days. Let the Eagle Orator be
our next Governor. NJ. ID. @. W.

Capt. Maury, late of the Washington

most formidable submarine batteries
They will be quite a match for any iron

which you have placed us. | know that
you would say, as you have already said ::
Garry them bravely through the coming
contest, and suffer no stain of dishonor or
cowardice to dim their bright lustre, and all
obligations and debts of gratitude are can
celled," Yet should they be carried un-
sullied through the fire of an hundred bat
ties, the same patriotism that has prompted
YOU to present them will still be yours
Then permit us to be ever grateful, that we
may not cease our vigilance in bravely de-
Tending them. And | think l can speak

extremity to support the honor of these col

any other than the old Stars and Stripes
would have been treated, by Americans,
with contempt, and so few Stars as we have

the Stars and Stripes of the Union foated

nation beneath the sun when an insult tC
