Correspondence of the wing.

To the Editor of The Wing:
In the patriotism awakenened by the crisis the women
behind the men, and Of th6m anxious to con-
tribute her mite begs that you will insert the enclosed
in the Wing, if you think it not unworthy OF place In
your columns:
"WOMEN ARE STRONGEST"
This paradox may be found in Esdras, and many curl
reasons there given to prove its truth In our
troubles it will not be proiane to add yet another
The ladies Of our beloved old Commonwealth, far re-
moved from cities and villages, and deprived OF the
privilege OF combining in societies to contribute by the
work of their hands to the comfort OF the gallant men
who defending their country and their homes Still,
they may find way to express their gratitude by their
individual eforts-by cconomy-by contrbution-by
encouragement in their families and neghborhoods, and
above all by fervent and constant prayer for our de-
livery from the dangers which surround u.s. Let them,
like the prophet of old, 'kneel on their knees three
times day" in suppcaton of that AllPoweriul Being
who can make "the wrath of man to praise him,
remembering that with his help lone man may chase
thousand"
Our brave defenders have hardly time to minge pray
era with their night watches and daily duties. Let US
them from quiet homes, follow them with our love,
blessings and prayers In these their ehivalry
will not be offended if We repeat that
"wOmen are strongest"

THE CUICKASAW NATION.

We have before US the message of Gov Harris of the
Chickssaw nation addressed the Legislature OF the
Nation assembled in extra session 70 consider the
that should be pursued in the present condition Of the
late United States.
The Governor considers the Union dissolved beyond
the possibility Of reconstruction and he contends that if
10 other cause existed for the separation the violation
OF the federal compact by Lincoln absoved each member
OF the Union from further obligations to his Govern
ment.
The Constitution of the Confederate States, the Gov
ernor approves of highly viewing it great improve
ment upon the cid Constitution and he speaks Of il
Constituting the only repository OF constitutional
freedom Looking upon the late General Government
as permanently discovered; the Government at Washing
ton having ceased TO be the Government of the UNI
ted States and the Government OF the Confederate States
as not being the power with which the ChiCksaws made
their treaties His EXcelency in further contemplation of
the fact that the Federal forces had abandoned the West
ern frontier, and instead Of complying with his request
to supply him with arms TO protect the Nation, de-
sroyed all within reach he recommends that the Chicka
saws Chocaws Creeks, and Semnoles and such other
tribes as may desire to be represented, meet in
ton to confederate for mutual safety and the in
dependence of the Nations that commissioners be APP
pointed to enter into treaties with the Confederate
States that the Governor be authorized TO accept the
service Of volunteers for the defence of the country in
concert with the neighbour States Of Texas and Ar
kansas and the Indian nations west OF the latter State
that commissioners be appointed TO procure the aid oil
the wing tribes such Camauches and Kiowas that
the forts in the Nation be occupied by troops under its
authority and that funds be raised by the issue of
rants or direct taxation TO meet the extraordinary
per incident to the present cOnttOn OF siiirsN

PRESIDENT DAVIS AND THE MARYLAND COM
MISSIONERS.


FREDERICK June l2.-The following is the letter OF
President jeff Davis to the Maryland Commissioners
MONTGOMERY, May % 1861.
Gentlemen-I receive with sincere pleasure the as
surance that the State Of Maryland sympatbzas with the
people of these aes in their determined vndcaton OF
the right of selfgovernment, and that the people OF
Maryland "are enlisted with their whole hearts on the
side Of reconciliation and peace"
TIE people Of these Confederate States, notwithstand
ing their separation from their late sister, have not ceased
to feel deep socitude in her welfare, and to hope that
AZ no distant day. State whose people, habits and inst-
tons are so closely related and assimated with theirs
will seek to unite her tate and fortunes with those of this
Coniederacy
The of the Confederate States receive with
respect the suggestion of the State OF Maryland that
there should be general cessation OF hosties now I'M
pending unt the meeting OF Congress in July next, in
order that said body may possible, arrange for adj
jusment of existing troubles, by means OF negotiation
rather than the sword but loss how to reply with
out REPETITION OF the language it has used on every pos
sble occasion that has presented itself since the establish
ment Of its independence.
In Difference TO the State of Maryland however lagan
assert in the most emphatic terms that its sincere aud
earnest desire is for peace that whilst the government
would readily entertain any proposition from the govern
ment of the United States tending TO peaceful solution
of the pending difficulties, the recent attempts OF this
government to enter into negotiations with that of the
Uaied States attended with results which forbid
any renewal OF proposals from it to that government
If any further assurance of the desire of this govern
ment for peace necessary it would be sufficient to
observe that being formed of confederation of sover
egn States acting and deciding for ITSELF the right
of every other sovereign State the seacton and
selfgoyernment s necessarily acknowledged Hence
conquests of other States wholly inconsistent with the
fundamental principles, aud subversve of the very
ganizaton Of this government Its policy cannot but be
peace-peace with all nations and people.
Very respectfully,
JEFF DAVIS.
Messrs McLag, YellOtt and Harding, Committee Of
Maryland Legislature.

ginia expects every and county 10 do their duty
Most noby have different counties responded TO this call
on their patriotism. Some have called out their full
force while others doing what they to increase
the volunteer companies now s~arnni"g in Virginia.
In this connection it my pleasure to state that King
and Queen county, which had been supposed to be NOV
ing too slowly, is proudly redeemng her Obligations to
the State. She has six companies organic ID and
another being rapidly gotten up, which will make seven
companies Some Of the earliest organized are already
mustered into actual service. This will favorably COM
pare with the most patriotic counties in their contribu
tons TO the military service of the State. King and
Queen has also appropriated ten thousand dollars for the
uniiormng Of companies and the support OF the needy
families of volunteers She had also previously bought
two hundred Of the most improved arms, all now fur
nshed far they will 60, to the volunteers for the
defence OF the State So her contributions, including
cost of arms for State service amount to at least fifteen
thousand dollars and six volunteer companies, shortly
be increased to seven whilst her militia roll in
formed, was only little over fve hundred and her
tribuons to companies of other counties not less than
from thirty to fifty Surely justice requires that
thus much should be said in behalf of county whose
people have nobly responded to the call of duty.
KING AND QUEEN.
