The Richmond correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury writes on July 4th that
Beauregard did not expect an engagement
under two or three weeks. He says that
twelve South Carolina Companies had
gone home but were willing to return
when they had arranged their business nf-
fairs at home.
The Fairfax correspondent of the .Sa-
ronaah R-pu5iicaa says that Gen. Beaure-
gard told an iuquisitive person that if his
own coat knew what his intentions were,
he would burn it up. The same writer
snys that there are TWO parties there, one
desiring passive policy and the other an
active policy. The former class think that
the "peace party" in the North is increas-
ing, and will soon grant all the South de-
mauds. The latter say that Maryland,
Missouri, and Kentucky can only be gained
at thcpoins of the sword.
He says that "the Virgtniaus are rather

He reports that one of the chief difficult

arises from the Union feeling of the people

The Augusta Chronicle has some brill
liant fellow about the Office. Que of its
leading articles in its issue of the 7th inst,
argues that President Lincoln's IN ssage is
a peace measure. The Interpretation is
this. He calls for more men and more
money than can possibly be raised, and

distance before they found that shoe of
one of the horses needed fixing. They
stopped at - blacksmith's shop for that
purpose, and whilst there Union man
came up and questioned them very closely
as to who they were, and on what mission
they were going. Miss Mcleod replied to
his rrogatories-telling him that their
surname WAS Flemming, and that they were
going to Barbour county to see their reld-
lions. Their interrogation seemed to be
very hard to satisfy, and it taxed the in
genuity of Miss Mcleod to impose upon
him. AS soon as the horseshoe had been

after being detained for some time, though
there were some in the crowd who were

From the Patlio. OF yeyterd ay.

From time to time we have endeavored to incul-
cate the necessity for Tenneseans to stand together
In the past have told the people to discard eve.
~ feeling of aniDosity to forget all past strife and
rally shoulder to shoulder and hlt TO hlt for the
honor the interest and glory of the State. If such
counsel was appropriate at any time heretofore it
is now become absolutely necessary. Our strength
is dependent upon our unity. That majority, a
large majority will ratfy the action of the Legisa
ture in our Declaration of independence, we have
not the shadow of dnubt; but we desire perfect
unanimIty The day is past for Union with the
North, or for justice and equality in Union with
the North. That idea has been supplanted by that
of oppression. The North offers a choice be-
tween fire and sword and dishonOr and sbujugatIOn.
By prompt resistance and independence we may
avoid the first. but failing in these we
are inevitably reduced 10 chains and slavery.
Are we unduly excited? Do we mistake
the purpose of the North Who among us can
mistake the Chicago Platform for the Constitution
of the;United States? Who can advocate the Union,
when it is demonstrated that the Constitution has
been subyerted in all its essential provisions Who
can expect justice, when every principle of justice
is violated? Who can hope for equality, when he
put under the lash and made TO submit to stripes?
Who is willing to exchange the heritage of a free
ancestry for degradation and slavery! If there be
such man in Tennessee let him stand forth, and
avow himself. Let him present himself the
enemy of his State and the enemy of liberty. If he
prefer despotsm to freedom let him declare it. and
prepare to emigrate to that region where such
opinions are predominant We sincerely trust that
the election of the Sth of June will not discover

Tennessee will have the insufersble modification
to see brother untrue to him her. Let us stand

Army Annntn,rn.n,r

We publish in another column list of the army
appointments made by Governor HARRIS and con-
frmed by the Legislature.
While they are such as we canno. doubt Wlii give
general satisfaction, it would be too much to affirm,
that each and every one is the cary best that could
have been made,
The time for considering the relative qualifica-
tions Of each and all, who might have been willing
to accept was so limited, that 1t would nave re-
CURED more than human sagacity to avoid the pos
sibility of error.
We are glad to know however that aside from
personal preference military men, and others, ac-
ousinted with the appointees, concur in the opiu-
ion. that as whole, it was perhaps impossible to
do better.
General Pillow, whe heads the list is confessedy
the first military man in experience and rank in the
State.
General ANDERSON to whom the second place is
assigned is man of military experience, and we'll
known for his sound sense undoubted discretion
and cool courage.
We have not time to speak of each Of the Brigs-
der Generals. They all, with one exception, occu-
pied distinguished positions in the late Mexican
war, and have proved themselves soldiers on the
battle field.
All the other appointments are such as we trust
may prove satisfactory but if there be any not so,
we trust that the same patriotic motive which we
know to have controlled his Excellenoy in the nom
Gation, and the Legislature in confirming them, will
induce all to give them cheerful aequiescence.
The responsibility of choosing has been deli
cate and perhaps painful task. 1t has been faith
fully, uprightfully, AMI periodically performed'
and we doubt not, will be accepted by the whole
people in the spirit in which it has been executed
The position of Major General, we understand,
was rendered to Gov. CAMPBELL, and twill be a
source of general regret that, from conscientious
motives he felt constrained TO decline the appoint
ment. An over difidence N his own abilities, while
it is homo rabe to himself has, in this instance de-
prived the country Of the services of one in whose
capacity the public generally would have reposed
entire confidence. Gov. CAMPBELL's whole sympa-
thies are in the cause, and doubt not he will give
himself fully to its advancement in some other way.

dations contained in the message of the Governor

taken for the preservation of rights and lber-
ties and We rejoice that the Legislature has with

severance of our relations with the late Govern

Catholicism and Slavery both 10 be
Destroyed!

Like Popey, Slavery is incompatible with the
spirit of the age, or in other words, with liberty
and civilization Their progress Is at an end and fate
or Providence seems to have doomed them to speedy
destruction by the folly Of their dsrOtseS-Neo York
Times.
After civil freedom is destroyed by the monar-
chcal, PurItancal, tiRepublican party, no~ con-
trolling the Northern Government it will, doubtless
as the New York Dag Book says, turn its attention
to the overthrow CT religious freedom. 1t tried to
get up a crusade against Catholicism a few years
since. and in New England penetrated converts with
its Committee, &c; but its onward progress was
CALAMITY met by Old Virginia, and with the true
Democratic instincts of equal rights she conquered
the destroyer. She fought and gained one of the
most important battles for equal rights of this
country, and she fought it for the North, which had
been overrun by the pestilent heresy of Know
Nothingism The return she gets for it is the in
yasion of her soil by the very men whom she most
served
