We publish in another column communi-
cation signed "Voter,' in which the name of our
distinguished townsman, G. A. Henry is suggested
for the Confederate Senate. We shall on proper
occasion give our views at lenghth on this subject
We are disposed to look with extreme favor upon
the suggestion for several reasons one of the most
important of which is the fact that Major Henry is
perhaps the most talented and experienced gentle
man Of the old Opposition party in the State, who
will be an asprant for the position; and we desire
most earnestly to kill off the idea that either of the
old political parties are monopolzing the posts of
homer in our new government. No doubt some
gentleman of the old Democratic will be selected as
one of the Senator'S and it is proper and fair that
both of the old parties should be represented. As
the representative of the old Opposition party, we
prefer Major Henry above any other in the State.
Hesan ardent able and eloquent supporter of South
ern Rights one of the ablest men in our State an
enlightened statesman and worthy gentleman high
toned, honest and reliable His great experience in
public affairs, his burning eloquence, and his strict
integrity, would make him an invaluable member
of the Senate
We shall take an early occasion to give our views
at length on this interesting subjectJef ersoran.

The Canadian Press on the Bat
tie near Manassas Junction.


The news Of the battle near Manassas Junction,
Is the subject Of much comment in tSe Canadian
press The Quebec Chronicle has The following;
The New York press will doubtless be sadly
downcast now. For ourselves, we have not exult-
ed over the much Wanted northern victories, and
see no great reason 10 rejoice in northern defeat
All our desire is that the war should cease, and
that we should be spared the spectacle of seeing
brothers in race and language engaged in mortal
combat Neither the North nor the South can sab
jngate the other. Let them agree 10 what we call
a separation Dc Jiezs, ssd be at peace. There IL
room enough on this great continent for three
great natious--a Union Of the British Colonies
Union of the Northern States and aConfederacy of
the Southern Republics.
The Montreal Gazette cites the fact Of the at
tack and repulse, and then remarks:
The Grand Arm" that was to exterminate the
Southerners is in full retreat upon Washington,
utterly beaten by the superior tactics Of the South
ern General, which has enabled him so to mass his
troops as to do what the Northern General intend
ed--to overwhelm the enemy. II was moi pleas
ant thing for Philosophc minds TO see that the de.
feat Of the Northern army was received rather
with satisfaction than with regret by the people on
the streets here. TIE North has Dragged so much
and so loudly has been so insoleut in its tone no,
only towards the South, but towards Britain Il la:
Dragged 30 much about thrashihg Great Britain
and crumpling up poor little Canada, that sympathy
has been aleniated from the braggart and bully.

seA- The Northern papers are unsparing
in their denunciations Of the cowafaice of
Federal officers and privates IS exhibited at
the battle Of Manassas. Whilst we do not
deny the fact, It may not be arniss to ask
what there is to inspire either with moral
courage? A thief is usually coward.
because the little conscience he may have
convicts him of wrong doing; whilst the
man whom he would rob-though consti-
tutionalIy timid-is emboldened to defend
his property both by self-interest and a
consciousness of right. The Federals-
officers and privates-are thieves, and,
therefore, towards; and whenever h e
chances of securing pluRder are less than
the chances of being killed, In the attempt,
their instincts will prompt them to seek
safety in fight, regardless of any imputa-
tons that may be cast upon their character
for bravery. 1t is unphilosophic to calcu-
late upon different results, and he is fool
who believes that nation of brave men,
defending their liberty and their property,
can be overpowered by a horde of bandit
ii with ''booty" as their sole watchword.

aeA- It is stated that measures are on
foot in Washington to conceal from the
press all knowledge except that of results.
This will be gratifying change of pro-
gramme, inasmuch as results have, hereto
fore, been studiously concealed. We have
not much difficulty in learning that we
have whipped the enemy, but how badly,is
a question to be decided, approximately, by
a comparison of the speed of the pursuers
and pursued, and by averaging the num-
Der of dead upon the square mile of terri
tory over which the enemy fed. We hope
now to get at the exact figures, under the
new arrangement.

DeA- We are glad to see proposition
before the Confederate Congress to ascer-
tain. as accurately as possible, the number
of slaves stolen by the Federal army with
a view to full pay for the same in final
settlement between the belligerent powers,
The South has means enough belonging to
the North to indemnify our citizens for the
loss of property, and as slaves are the cause
of the war, every one lost should be paid
for at the highest price.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
ri. MANAeaAa .Julv OK 1871


Soldiers Of the Confederate States: One week ago,
q countless host of men, organized into an army,
with all the appointments which modern art and
practced skill could desire, invaded the soil of Vir-
ginia. Their people sounded their approach with
triumphant display Of anticipated victory their
generals came in almost regal state their great Min
listers Senator'S and women came to witness the
immolation of our army and the subjugation of
our people, and TO celebrate the result with wild
revelry.
1t is with the profoundest emotions of gratitude
10 an overriding God, whose hand is manifest in
protecting our homes and our liberties, that we
your Generals commanding, are enabled in the
name of our whole country, to thank yoL for that
patriotic courage that heroic gallantry that devo-
ted daring exhibited by you in the actions of the
18th and 2lst 10y which the hosts of the enemy
were scattered, and signal and glorious victory
obtained. The two affairs, of the 18th and 2lst
were but the sustained and continued efforts of
your patriotism against the constantly receiving
columns of an enemy, fully treble your numbers
and these efforts were crowned on the evening of
the 2lst with victory complete, that the inva-
ders were driven dsgracefully from the field, and
made to fly in disorderly rout back to their en-
trenchments q distance of over thirty miles.
They left upon the field nearly every piece of
their artillery large portion of their arms, equip
ments, baggage, stores, &C., and almost every one
Of their wounded and dead--amounting together
WIN prlsOuerS, W luHuy lilOusuuusi anu lnuS
the Northern hosts we've driven from Virginia
Soldiers we congratulate you an event which
ensures the liberty of our country; we congratu-
late every man of you whose glorious privilege il
was to participate in this glorious triumph of cour-
age and of truth--to fight in the battle of Manas-
sas. You have created an epoch in the history of
Liberty, and unborn nations will rise up and call
you "blessed."
Continue this noble devotion, looking always TO
the protection of just God, and before time grows
much older we will be hailed as the deverers of
a nation of ten millions of people.
Comrades our brothers who have fallen have
earned undying renown upon earth and the blood
shed in our holy cause IS precious and acceptable
sacrifice to the Father of Truth and of Right
Their graves are beside the tomb Of Washington
their spirits have Joined with his in eternal COM
munion.
We will hold fast to the soil in which the dust
of Washington is thus mingled with the dust of
our brothers. We will transmit this land free to
our children, will fall into the fresh graves
of our brothers in arms Wedrop one tear on their
laurels and move forward to avenge them
Soldiers ! we congratulate You glorious tri-
umph and complete victory, and we thank you for
your 'ohole duty in the service of your country.

BGss As the Confederate army has taken
more prisoners than can be disposed of by
fair exchange, it would be advisable to ex-
change the excess for fugitive slaves, and
to hold them till so exchanged. A "nig-
ger" is as good as white man, according
to the abolition theory, and if the Federal
Government is unwilling to exchange a
fugitive slave for private, let us keep the
excess of non commissioned officers for
that sort of barter.

sa- We learn from the Union & Amer
lean that T. A. r. Nelson was arrested, on
the 4th inst, in Lee county, Virginia, and
sent to Abingdon under an escort of sixty
men, The honorable gentleman was max
ing his way to Washington to act out, in
the abolition Congress, the treason he has
been Matching in East Tennessee. We are
glad he is arrested he has been borne with
long enough, and il is time his game were
blocked. East Tennessee has, by two sep
arate votes, pledged itself to submit to the
will of the majority, and failing to redeem
the pledge, and persisting in its reasonable
designs against the honor and integrity Of
the State, its treason must be sanctioned
or resisted, and the soonervthe test is APP
piled, the better. The scenes in Western
Virginia must not be re-enacted in East
Tennessee. IF Lincoln chooses to invade
it, he must not find an armed and organ
lied body Of traitors there ready to aid him
in the slaughter of loyal citizens. Arrest
the leaders, and their deluded followers will
return to their loyalty.

GFrom the Knoxville Register.1
Lost Creek, Union County Tenn,


July 20, 1861.
Mr.. EDIroR To day a large and respectable
meeting of the citizens Of the 10Th civil district Of
this county was held, where il win be remembered
but one secession vote was given on the sth June
last. Rev. T. d. Harding was called to the chair,
and @. d. Russell requested to act as secretary,
After some very appropriate remarks from sever
al prominent gentlemen, speaking the general con-
sentative feeling of Union in this section, the
following preamble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted
WHEREAE, The State of Tennessee acting in her
sovereign capacity on the 9Th day of June last de-
clared this State to be separated from tho original
United States, by an overwhelming majority and
feeling willing now weever have felt in the past
to be governed by the majority thus maintaining
our republican form of Government-as q rebellion
against the majority is usurpation of Republican
principles, inauguratng nothing but civil war and
anarchy Therefore,
RESOLVED, That in conformity with our most con
sistent ideas of Republicanism and the institution
of our fathers, we maintain invioate that right of
suffrage which enables a sovereign people through
the expressed will of decided msjorties to assume
or throw off whatever form of government may
become undesirable or obnoxious.
Resolved That those of us who long and faith
fully maintained our adherence to tie Government
of the Federal Union, finding ourselves greatly in
the minority the greater portion Of the State feel
ing that sufficient cause existed for dissolution
of those ties which formerly held us together, ac-
knowledge willingness to acquiesce in submits
sion to a will of the majority.
Resolved That we were ut first opposed to the
secession of States we are now opposed to the
more dangerous and futile separation of portion
of State, ashas been proposed in East Tennessee,
and we are resolved to oppose such measure by all
the means and influence at our command
Resolved That a copy of these proceedings be
sent to the Union & American, and Knoxville Reg
ister for publication.

aeA. There were two sets of candidates
for Congress in East Tennessee-one for
the Confederate, the other for the Federal
Congress. The candidates for the former
must be elected, for there was no opposi-
tion-the State recognizing no such office
as that of Representative in the Northern
Congress, and the candidates so elected,
though by minority vote, are entitled to
seats in the Confederate Congress. Nelson
and Maynard might as legally have run for
seats in the British Parliament, and any
acts of theirs in the Lincoln Congress
would be no more binding upon Tonnes
see than if they were surreptitiously ad-
rhitted to seats in any foreign Legislature,

BSs" The Northern papers are complains
ing bitterly of the manner in which the
people are cheated in everything pertaining
to the supply of the army and they may
add that they are cheated in the army, it.
self, and in its commanders. The whole
batch-people, army, and goverment-are
miserable cheats, pnd we often wonder how
the South could so long have remained in
ignorance of their despicable character.

DSS- Northern accounts say that some of
the Southern shells thrown during the bat
tie of Manassas we're filed with marbles.
This statement is evidently intended to
convey the idea that we are deficient in the
proper material, but the truth is, that the
shells we're designed to convey hint that
the Northern troops are better at the game
of marbles than the more serious game of
war.
