A Slight Brush at AQUA Creek.

To the Editor Of the Wing:
The ball has been opened by the Lincoln
Government in this section of Virginia On
yesterday evening, wednesday, about sun
SET war steamer-suppOsed to be the Paw
nee-Opened fire on the batteries at AQUA
Creek, on the Potomac river, which compli-
ment was returned by our batteries.
The firing was continued by the Pawnee
until fifteen shot, shell and grape and canister
discharges had been made. On our part,
twelve shot-solid and shell-paid their re-
spects to the Pawnee. The steamer was about
two miles out, so that the effect could not be
told, but it was believed that several struck,
particularly the twelfth, which was shell,
and it is thought fell on the deck-after
which she quickly moved off.
Nobody hurt" on our side, except young
McDOugall of this place, who was very
slightly wounded in the arm by piece OF
she'll which had exploded.
The mettle of the boys at the Creek was
up, and more determination was never
evinced by veterans.
The various companies encamped at the
Fair Grounds, including Capt. Alexander's
Gordon Rifles" just organized, were dis
patched to the Creek-all of which returned
this morning..
The Tennessee boys, I'd Regiment, Col.
Bate, who are camped at another point, did
not wait for orders from Headquarters here,
but having heard the cannonading, started
of IN trOt for the post of honor.

JACKSON B. WHITE, Esq, has returned from
Philadelphia, where he spent some time, in
the Presbyterian General Assembly of which
he was member He left home with an
earnest conviction that it was the duty of the
Southern States to unite and present solid
and impenetrable front to their Northern enc
mics; and he returns home satisfied that be
was correct, and that in united South is the
only hope of safety. He found no friends of
the South in the North. The people there are
undivided in their hostilities, and bitter in
their denunc iations. In his opinion the
South should be equally unanimous. He is
jealous for Separation and Representation in
Tennessee; and will SO vote next Saturday.
All his interests, all his symPathies, are with
the South, and he intends to staEd by her to
the bitter end.

To the Voters of Davidson County.

1t is known to the most of you that l voted
against the ordinance passed by the Legisla-
ture, at its last session, declaring Tennessee
Independent of the Federal Government. My
reasons for this vote were fully expressed on
the floor of the House, and were well under
stood by members. But as we were in secret
session, and the public could not be acquaint-
ed with the facts, embodied my reasons in
protest which was ordered to be spread up
on the journal. Immediately after the ad-
journment of the Legislature l was unexpect-
eddy and suddenly called from home, and
have been absent until to-day. had taken
steps to have my protest published during my
absence, for your information, but, unfortu-
nately, my arrangements to that end failed.
1t is unnecessary now to state my reasons at
length. They were not based upon opposi-
ton to the independence of Tennessee, but
upon an honest belief that State Convention
and not the Legislature, had the power to
dissolve the connection of the State with the
General Government. It was a matter of
conscience only that governed my course
My convictions of right, my sympathies,
and my interests were with the South. l
believed that the honor the interests, and the
safety of Tennessee, demanded that she should
separate herself from the North, and unite
her destiny with her sisters of the South, and
this belief has been strengthened by the ex-
periences of my recent brief sojourn in the
North. As citizen of Tennessee, born upon
her soil, and ardently devoted to her honor,
her interests, and prosperity, 1 shall, on Sat
urday next, vote for Separation and Repre-
sentation. We must have, in my judgment,
a united South, if we expect to maintain our
independence. and secure peace and prosper
ity to ourselves and our posterity.
By the voice of the sovereign people, ex
pressed on the 9Th inst, Tennessee will have
absolved all her sons from further allegiance
to the Federal Government, and, as one of
your representatives in the ensuing General
1 shall take pleasure in carrying
out your views, and speeding our gallant
State onward in the path Of independence
which her people have chosen for her.
l am, your fellow-citizen,
J.B. WHITE.
