ReA, Up to the time of putting paper to press,
harrassng uncertainty, as to the condition of af
fairs at Charleston, distarbs the public mind. The
first report-that the war had commenced on We'd
nesday-was not confirmed by the dispatches on
Thursday There is little doubt, however, that Sc
ven war vessels are anchored off Charleston, and
their business is to convey supplies to Fort Sumper;
and with such an object in view no one can doubt
that a collision must folow---aEd even whilst we
write cannon may be answering cannon in the an
CRY tones of deadly conflict The President appre-
hends an attempt upon Washington City, and the
Governor of Pennsylvania is taking steps to raise
troops for the defence of that city. We shall be
most happy to find that these are mere sensation
dispatches, but confess that entertain little hope
of peace

MR. EDITOR 1t has been the settled conviction

Meetings have been called and held upon this idea

have themselves placed in front, as heretofore.
Sir, it is my solemn opinion that if the honest
masses OF the State would but call out the latent
talent and craftsmanship hidden in the obscurty of
the workshop the farm and others who staid at
home, and, while attending to their industrial pur-
suits, have given their government into the hands
of politicians, our troubles would be brought to a
peaceful, if not satisfactory solution. But two
years ago we elected one of the peopie--a man who
had literally worked himself up in lfe-to the
Senate from this Senatorial District and have
heard one of those who opposed Judson Horn, in

TOT lne CnIOuCIe'
EDITOR CuRoNreLE:--R Recently have observed
several communications published in the Union pa
pers of this Congressional District, calling upon
Tennessees distinguished son; the Hon. JYO. BELL,
to become candidate for Congress. Sir, there is
no man in the State whom would delight to honor
more than Col Bell; and yet must confess that it
is with deep regret that perceive the effort made
to throw aside faithful public servant in the per-
son of Gen. QUARLEs A seat in Congress could
add no lustre to the brilliant fame of the statesman
of Tennessee. Nor can perceive that the position
of Congressman would enable him to exert any
greater influence for the good of his country than
now. The reputation of Col Bell for sagacity and
wisdom is national yea, aoorld-,oide, and will not
his countrymen heed his warning words and advice,
spoken from the sylvan woods of Tennessee, as
readily as if Numbered from Congressional floors.
And again. we will need him in our Border States
Convention and perhaps in National Convention.
Either of these positions would be congenia to his
feelings, and appropriate to his commanding sta
ton, at this critical time of our national troubles.
Col Bell cannot desire the nomination in opposition
to Gen. Quarles. And am surprised that | have
not yet seen a card from him. declining to become
a candidate in opposition to our late faithful and
efficient Representative the firm and steadfast friend
of Jno. Bell, the who first unfurled the banner
to the breeze, years ago, inscribed with the name
of Jno. Bell for the Presidency who labored ar
IDENTIFY and successfully to secure him the nomina-
ton at Baltimore, and who made for him, the first
ratification speech delivered in America, and who
has ever stood forward the able eloquent and ever
ready defender of Col. Bell and his policy, and whe
fought for him in the last canvass wherever there
were blows to be given.
When ! remember these personal services, and
the friendship that exists between the two men, l
cannot for moment think that the Hon. Jno. Bell
will stand in the way of the General when it is
known that he desires a denomination.
In every other District in the State, doubt but
that the same Union members of Congress will be
renominated. Why should Gen. Quarles be pre-
scribed2 IIashe msrepresened the sentiments of
people2 Has he failed in the discharge of any OF
his duties The record answers MOI And the
people of this Congressional District answer en-
phatically MOI They have endorsed his course, in
every county in the District. Why, then this eff
fort at prescription Let the politicians answer
The people of this Congressional District have de-
manded no change. Then let there be no division
in our ranks Let the Hon Jas, NJ, Quarles be re-
turned to Congress Tennessee will find another
post of honor for her Bell to fill.
