EDIToRs OF THE CHRoaoLr:-I think it is time
for US to be looking around to see who would be the
most suitable man to represent the counties of Rob-
ertson, Montgomery, and Stewart in the Senatorial
branch of our next Legislature.
In casting my eye over the claims Of the many
worthy men in the District, can see none that /
think more deserving than our present able and
faithful Representative Col. Horn. He took our
bannor when it was trailing in the dust there be-
ing heavy majority against him, and notwthstan-
ding be was opposed by one of the ablest and most
clever gentlemen Of the then Democratic party, he
he bore our banner triumphantly through the can
vass, and was elected by large majority. lie has
served with distinguished ability, and think of all
sent back to the Senate as an endorsement of his
Course since We have no higher reward to bestow
upon him than to re-elect him TO that Office. He
has been true to the Constitution and the Union. !
am, therefore, for Col. Horn for the Senate. l an
for the Union and opposed to coercion. i ON in
favor of letting the seeding States alone til they
themselves see the folly of their course They will
soon return as pcntent as the "Prodigal son did,
asking pardon, We will then receive them with
open arms and kill the "fatted calf" After they
shall have done this. have no doubt but that they
will be better members than they were before.
viii Col. Horn permit his name to come before
the Convention2 I-would like to hear from him
pretty soon, and SO would many other friends of
his.
Mr.. Editor what do you think of having the Con-
vention to meet at Clarksvle Thursday the OIL,
of May, to nominate candidates for Congress Senate
and Floater 2 l merely make the suggestion and
would like to hear from others.
UNION NOW AND FOREVER.

Bs6s- The people of Tennessee seem to be distinct
ly divided into three parties-the immediate seces
sonists, the Union men, provided new guarantee:
for slavery can be obtained, and the Union mer
without conditions. For immediate secession there
is no earthly chance; the secessionists, therefore
would do well to aid the second named party in it:
efforts to secure the guarantees demanded. A de-
tcruined effort, through border State Conference
can accomplish this object but should it TAIL tn,
question will he between absolute submission and Sc
cession, and we think the latter would be the
choice of large majority.

Gay The lion. I. A. R. Nelson, in q late letter to
W, G. Brownlow, Esq, says
The indications given by the last session Of
"Congress are decidedly in favor of peace and com
"promise, aud warrant the belief that if anything
is now wanted it will, in due time and upon 8
"proper sppeal, be granted by the North"
We hope Mr.. Nelson is correct in this opinion
and that the border States will take care that q
proper appeal is made-without it, We have little
hope that the North will do us justice The late

lature, and the presence of Seward and Chase in
the Cabinet ARE not favorable omens; still if the
North will in spite of these bad signs, give US the
guarantees We demand, the border States will be
content to remain in the Mnon. For one we shall
rejoice at such a settlement, but will never be con.
tent with less We want the Union, as it is, pre-.
served, even though the Gulf States may never re-
turn to it; but to preserve il, our rights must bC
placed beyond the reach of sectional fanaticism
and our equality with the Northern States secured
by constitutional guarantees To ask more than
this would be unreasonable; to take less, would b.
an abandonment Of just claims and forfeiture o.

Captain Wilkes Reasons for the Capture
Of the Rebel Commissioners.
New York, Dec. lo.-The follow
ing is an abridged copy of the report
OF Capt. Wilkes, assigning his reasons
for the capture of Mason and Slidel:
U. S. STEAMER SAN JAcINTo, !
AT SEA, Nov. l6 1861.
The Governments Of Great Britain,
France, and Spain, having issued proc
lainations that the Confederate States
were viewed, considered and treated rs
bcligerents, | felt no hesitation in
boarding and searching all vessels of
whatever nation tell in with, aud |
have done so. ...... .....s ..a
The question arose in my mind
whether had the right to capture the
persons of the Comm ssionors, whether
they were amenable TO capture. There
was no doubt that had the right to
capture vessels with written dispatches.
They are expressly referred in all au
thorities subjecting the vessel to sci
zure and condemnation, it the captain
OF the vessel had the knowledge of
their being on board. But these gen
tlemen were not dispatches in the lib-
eral sense, and nowhere could tind a
case in point. They had been present
ed to the Captain General of Cuba, by
Fl. b. c., Consul, General, but the Cap
tain General told me he had not re-
ceiyed them in that capacity, but as
distinguished gentlemen and stran.
gers. l .s.5
then considered them as the en-
bodiment OF dispatches, aud it there
fore became my duty to arrest their
progress and capture them. If they
hisst no passports or papers from the
Federal Government, as provided for
under the law of nations, namely, that
foreign ministers of beligerent OH
board iof5nentral ships are required TO
possess papers from the other belliger.
ent to permit them to pass free. p
As RESPECTS the steamer in whi oh
they embarked, the agent OF the yes
sci, the son of the British Consul at
Havana, was well aware of the charac,
ter of the persons OH board. They
went instle steamer with the knowl.
edge and consent OF The Captain, who
endeavored afterwards to conceal them
by refusing to exhibit the pass enger
list and the papers OF the vesscl.--
There can be no doubt he knew that
they were carrying highly important
dispatches, and were endowed with
instructions ininical to the United
States, this rendered his vessel, though
a neutral, a good prize. ] determined
to take. possession Of the vessel, and AZ
| mentioned in my report, send her to
Key West for adjudication. d, 1 forbore
to seize her however, in consequence
OF my being 50 reduced in officers aud
crew, and the derangemept il would
cause Innocent persons, there being a
large number OF passengers whowould
have been put to u great loss and in
convenience as well as disappointment
from the interruption it would cause
them ID not being able to join the
steamer at St. Thomas for Europe
/ therefore concluded to sacrifice the
linteferests OF my officers aud crew ID
the prize, aud suffer the steamer TO
lproceed after the necessary detention

important epd I had in view. tsg1 mss
