that Notwithstanding the Western
embargo, the falling off in Western
Produce, ex elusive of Tobacco, Is on

In our new political relations with
the West, lit becomes interesting to
enquire what the relative proportions
of our receipts have been from slave
holding and from non.slave-h"lding
States, and after making proper al
lowance for the proportion OF Bread

Presidential Electors.

The election of President and Vice Prcsi-
dent takes place on the 9th of next month.
As vet no steps have been taken to select an
electoral ticket. There is not time to resort
TO the usual mode, a convention; and If Ten
nessee intends to discharge her duty at the
election. some other mode should be resorted
to without delay. In our sister State OF Al
ALBANIA, ticket is in the field, selected by
head OF leading papers throughout the State
Montgomery. They assumed the authority
to recommend the ticket, and as it is COM
posed of good and true men, no objection
has been made against ii. In Virginia,
ticket has recently been formed, and is at the
head of leading men throughout the State.
1t was selected aud recommended by some
Of the editors at Richmond, upon the sugges
ton of other leading men; aud will be voted
for in November. We have recommended
that the members of our General Assembly
meet in their individual capacity, not as leg
islatOrs, and select and recommend ticket
to the people. There is certainly more ex-
cuse for this assumption of authority than
either of the above cited Instances, and We
do not think there should be any hesitation
about acting. As d general thing. we are op-
posed to the exercise of authority not dele
gated. but in cases like the present, there is a
public necessity which jusiifies such step
Let Us, therefore, have ticket as soon al
possible.

tifed, can furnish them nothing. they re-
main there, they must surrender or perish.
We are not allowed to go out of cur en-
campment. but this'of no consequence as we
have but little desire to do SO. We have
some very good music up here, having three
fine brass bands, of which ours takes the lead.
Besides We can incline our ears to the west
and hear the bands of the enemy.
The Yankees have the advantage of Us up
here in the way of clothing. The Tennessee
Boys are known as the Ragged - T.'s."
Your fancy can aid you TO fill the blank.
But we are expecting the clothing, which
our good friends at home have had the kind
ness to send US. Oar company have already
received the letters forwarded by Major
Stewart, but none of the clothing. We have
received the sad news that the boxes packed
at Mr.. Fosters Office were left at Millboro',
exposed to the rain and weather, and the
goods have been badly damaged. We begin
to despair of ever getting any thing through,
and fear we must rely on our own slender re-
sources. If the government does not provide
clothing for us, we will be naked before long.
Captain Foster is goieg to send Sergeant
Webb Smith to Millboro' to see about. the
boxes. Sickness and other causes are fast re-
dncing our company ont of "a men, file, we
can only turn out %.
It is now the impression that we will re-
torn to Greenbrier Bridge. Mr.. Atkins, one
of our Tennessee Congressman was here yes
terday. He says he viii do all in his power
to get US back to Tennessee. He says, from
than any soldiers in the Confederate Army.
He also compliments us for doing noble
work. saying that if we had not been here
the enemy might have been in East Tennes-
see ere this We have had but little fighting
to do, but have gained as many good posi-
tions by the skilful management OF our Gen
eral, as could have been done with double
the loss of life iu one battle. II seems to me
that Gen. Lee is not properly appreciated.
Though third in rank, in my humble opinion
he should be first. He says if this war can
be carried on without the loss of man, it
must be done that the petty ambition. Of
no officer under his command shall cause the
loss of man. He is man whom it would
do you good to behold.
SUNDAY, Oct. 5.-We were surprised this
morning to fad that the Yankees had struck
their tents and left. Pursuit was made, but
in vain. Our regiment was the first to enter
the deserted camp; and now that the enemy
has fed, our prayer is that we may soon be
sent TO Kentucky. CORPORAL P.
rive are happy to state that, since the
above was put in type, we have received a
letter from sour boy" who is amongst the
sick of Company c, at Hot Springs, stating
that he had received clothing sent him in
one of the boxes referred to. 1t was not dam
aged in any respect. We presume the re-
mainder of the clothing Jared quite as well.

FELLOW. CITIZENS: For reasons deemed by
me satisfactory, I hare concluded to boone
acandidate before you for the position of
Representative in the Congress of the Con-
federate States. In assuming this response
bic attitude at moment so interesting in our
history as people. hope to be given credit
for upright and patriotic, motives, and an
earnest desire to promote the safety and hap
pincss of our newly formed Republic. / can
not doubt that your liberality will pardon
me. tor suggesting. under all the circumstan-
ces which surround US, that the experience ]
have heretofore enjoyed in connection with
the affairs OF the Government, and the famil-
Jar knowledge which it is my fortune to pos
sess of the personages now upon the political
stage. whether in Richmond or in Washing
ton, might enable me to be more orAle SER
yiceable In the position which / seek at your
hands, in contributing to put our new Con-
federaie system in vigorous operation-in
devising ways and means for its future sup
port and maintenance--and in helping TO
ward off The manifold dangers and difficulties
which at present so painfully encompass us
1t may be that have ovorrated my capacity
for serving you either usefully or honorably.
1t is quite possible that some other citizen
among. us may be regarded by you as better
adapted to the duties to be performed. If so,
of course your suffrages should be bestowed
elsewhere than upon myself, in which case, L
beg you to be assured. that shall stand pre-
pared to aeqniesce most cordially in your
choice, and shall be content 10 labor as here,
tofore, in the character of private citizen,
in behalf of that noble cause, whose perma-
nent success is far dearer 10 my heart than
the possession of civic authority, however
eminent, the acquisition of worldly fame,
however resplendent, or the fullest gratifiea-
ton of what is known among men as politi-
cal ambition. =
Should be so fortunate as to be chosen to
represent you, can only promise you to ex-
ercise in your behalf all the energies, wheth-
err of mind or body, which l possess; and
whether / shall succeed or mot in meeting
rest confident, tcIt necr be .foa'id ,caHtiag m

your soelfdre. ..
l shall lose no time in extending my per-
sonal acquaintance among you, as lar as
practicable, between the present moment and
the day of election. and l shall Immediately
announce public meetings in every county of
the District at which propose to make ex-
-pficit declarations of my opinions touching
all pending questions, and hope 20. be pre-
pared to give such explanations as to my own
views of public policy as shall prove entirely
satisfactory to all reasonable and liberal
minded citizens. 4
