A BASE AND WILFUL LIAR.-The DAYTON

"By an act Of congress and proclamation OF
The president, eleven new regiments, one Of
artillery, one Of cavalry, nine Of infantry of
2300 men each, have been ad ed to the United
States army"
Never was a more false statement put forth
than by the declaration that 'f5y an act Of
Congress- the regular army has been in
creased, and the editor Of the Journal knew it

Lincoln. The increase was made in direc. Vi

Extract from a letter frsm a reliable gentle
man Of Monroe county, dated Madisonville,
July ID:
Although the vote was pollsd against "sep-
ars tiOn' in lower as well as in upper East
Tennessee, even the most ultra Union men are
willing to submit to the action Of the State.
cOnversed with many OF the strongest Of the
Union men Of this county yesterday, it being
county court day, and they all, to a man, ex-
pressed themselves against the scheme of the
Greenville convention to divide the State
They said that, having voted against the seBa-
ration of the State from the federal govern =
ment, they considered that they had much
greater reason to vote against East Tennessee
separating herself from the State. T. e fact
is, the Greenvlle convention is not d fair and
Just exponent Of the sentiment of the
Union men even Of upper East Tennessee.
The delegates, as they styled themselves, were
in the main self-constituted, and were the NEST
ultra men Of The party. Men that were con-
servstive did not feel enough Of interest 10 get
especially in those counties in which no public
meetings had been held to appoint delegates,
which was the case with a majority Of the
counties. Capt. Rowan's company OF cavalry,
from this county, which was mustered into
service on Friday last, contains several men
who voted against separation on the 8th Of
June. The majoriy Of the men who voted that
way in lower East Tennessee will stand by
the State, now that it has separated from the
northern and Joined the southern Union.

LINCOLN's CALI IN CALIFoREIA.-The latest
news from California states that, upon the re-
ception Of Lincoln's proclamation, measures
were set on fo0t for raising a regiment of vol
un esrs Tor the federal government. Stations
were opened, headquarters established, and
drill-rooms hired. At the date Of our intelli-
gence, there were enlisted in San Francisco
five companies, Of fifty-four men each; in San
Jose, one company; in Sacramento, two; and
in Orville and Nevada, two each-all of which
promised to all up TO the full complement of
eighty men each, by the addition of squads en-
listed where full company cannot be gotten
up.
The reports indicate but a very feeble re-
spOnse on the part Of California to the Lincoln
call for military assistance.
A few companies bad been raised for the
Yankee service in Oregon

For the Daily State Sentinel.
To the Voters of Marion County.

Last spring, in accordance with the wishes of
some kind friends, consented to be candidate
for Clerk Of the Courts Of Marion county. As
had always been Republican it was my purpose
TO submit my name to a convention of the Repub-
lican party. But after the Inauguration Of civil
war by the act Of Southern rebels / believed that
all party action in the loyal States should be ss-
pended; at least until the rebellion could be sup
pressed firmly believed and still believe that
we shall never be able to sustain the Government
of the United States against the wide spread and
monstrous treason which threatens to destroy it,
if the defenses of the Government are weakened
and paralized by partisan warfare in the loyal
States Under this conviction was unwilling to
contribute even the slight influence which might
possess IN sustaining party action. / therefore
announced my name as a candidate independent
Of all parties. Soon after this announcement the
leaders Of the Republican party called conven-
ton ard riade strict party nominations. This
was also done in the face Of the fact that at the
very time the ablest and most patriotic Republi
can papers and statesmen throughout the country
were advising the abandonment of party in order
to save our Government.
On the 3Ist of August the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party Of the county, following the ex-
ample of the Republicans, F
held convention and also
made strict partisan nominations for the same
Offices. tf ~ ~
During the past summer have traversed a
large portion Of the county aud talked to the peo
OF all parties, faceto face They have almost uni
versally agreed with me IN relation to the evils of
partisan warfare and the imminent danger Of
