Great Dissatisfaction among the Troops
They Refuse TO Enlist for Three Years.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.


CAIRO, July 1.-The principal excitement here at
present is concerning the three years enlistment
Gen. Prentiss and the other officers talk very pref
ty to the soldiers, but as 1t appears, vainly. Re
publican prints say the war Is a matter Of dollars
and cents, and it seems to be so around here The
troops have not been paid one cent since their en-
listment, and see no chance of being paid. There
are claims in this small town to the amount of near
100000, and no "sight" for the money. If the
payments should along it is possible that near
half of the three months men would go in for the
war, but even that is not probable. The three
months will be up inside of two months, and if the
men are not paid off, it is not likely that one fifth of
them will enlist for the three years.
Capt Pitcher, United States Army, is here for the
purpose of swearing in the three year men, It is
significant circumstance that he went up yesterday
to Camp Smith, the headquarters of the Chicago
Light Artillery, Company A, to swear them in for
three years. and every refused to take the OATH
They are the best crowd" in Cairo. No one should
be surprised at the course taken by the men of this
brigade, for they have been treated most shamefuy
and feel it bitterly. When COlOnels of regiments
have not half dime to buy newspaper with, what
can be expected of the men? There will be geR-
era stampede this month, unless we have fight las
we certainly will not Or money (Which is not
at all probable.)

said that all the prominent Democrats in town are
to be "haued over the coalsn shortly. If so, look
out for a rafting among the dry bones, for the
Democrats of South Illinois stand where they have
always stood. They know their right, and will not
suffer any military despotism to impose upon them
We have been cursed long enough; and although we
claim TO be fully as loyal as any other people, and
know that we are we cannot always put up with
insults abuse, unlawful arrests, and Black Repubh

fessions of the Republican party we would work

ImpOrtant from the Indian Nations


Mr.. ]. A. Echols, Secretary of the Commission
ers sent BY the Convention of the Indinn Nation,
returned recently. he informs us that the Chicka-
saw Legislature passed an act of secession by a
unanimous vote about the LIST inst. A Convention
was to be held by the ChOetaws about the l4th inst
for the purpose, and there is no doubt that
ton has also seeded. The Greek nation had con-
ventiOn about the 18th May but they sat with Close
doors, and their action is not therefore certainly
known but as delegates to the Southern Confedera-
cy were Immediately SENT no doubt is entertained
that an act of secession was passed.
Gen. Douglas II. Cooper, agent of the United
Sta 3, for the Chickasaws and ChOctaws, resigned
some time since, has been adopted citizen, and
is appointed Commanderinc chief of all their forces.
Gen. Cooper is q Mississippisn, and relative Of
President Davis. st
Mr.. Echols has brought TO A1stin the treaties
that have been executed by the Commissioners on
the part of Texas and the Chickasaw nation, with
five wild tribes west Of the civilized Indians, in
GLIDING the Texas Reserves. The KickapO0s, the
DslaYares, the kechies, ETC., bind themselves to
cooperate with the Southern COnfederacy in the
present war with the Lincoln Government.
We learn from Mr.. Echols that letter has re
Gently been received from Lieut.. Thornton. to the
effect that the balance of the United States trains
that escaped the Texas troops at Fort Arbuckle,

would not fight against the Confederate States

The Confederate Compensation. M. p
Gentry and Hon. A. o. w. ToIten.

To the Editors OF the Union and American
The people of Tennessee will soon be called on
to elect members of Congress to the Confederated
States. In addition to member for each district,
they will have to elect two for the State al large
for Senators. For those positions would recon-
mend to the voters of Tennessee, Hon. MEREDITH 2.
GENTRY and Hon. A. o. W. TOTTEN.
In making these selections We should take our
ablest, purest truest and best men; and as far as
possible, do so outside of those who have hereto
fore been prominently mixed up with party pol
itics.
Hon. NJ. P. GENTRY is well known to every man in
the State. He is prominently qualified in every re-
speCt for that position. He was for many years
leading politician this State, but never party
politician. Had he been such,-had he loved party
more, and country less he would probably have been
kept in public place but IN preference to holding
office under such circumstances, he chose to regard
"the post of honor private station" and retire
to his Sabine farm on the rich and fertile hill sides
of old Bedford The evils that upon u.s. he has
long foreseen and warned his countrymen against.
He did so most eloquenty in his world renowned
speech against the nomination Of Gen Scott for the
Presidency in 1852.
Col Gentry is one of the ablest truest purest
and noblest statesmen we have. There is no man
in our State so well qualified for that position at
this important juucture in our countrys history as
we believe him to be. Everybody has full and CON-
plete confidence in his ability patriotism and states
manship.
For his colleague, we would also suggest Hon. A.
.. W. TottenOf Jackson, one of Tennessees truest
and noblest statesmen. Judge Totten, like Col.
Gentry, has never been a party politician.
He is far removed above all such We know of
no man in our State eminently fitted for that
position, or more worthy of it. He possesses, in
eminent degree, all the qualifications the people
want for that position. GENTRY and TOTTON, let
them be selected and they will most truly and no.
bly, represent the honor and dignity and greatness
Of our gallant Commonwealth. &XXIV.
TNoTE-The Legislature did not provide for elect
ing delegates to the Congress of the Confederate
States for the State at large, as supposed by our
correspondent. His suggestions, however, may
apply to the election Of Senator's by the Legislature

Extract from letter from a reliable gentleman
Of Monroe county, dated MsdisonyiIle, July2:
Although the vote was polled against separa-
tom in lower as well as upper East Tennessee,
even the most ultra Union men are willing to sub
nit to the action of the State. 1 conversed with
many Of the strongest Of the Onion men of this coun
ty yesterday, it being County Court day, and they
all, to a man, expressed themselves against the
scheme of the Greenville Convention to divide the
State They sad that having voted against the sep
aration Of the State from the Federal Govern
ment, they considered that they had much greater
reason to vote against East Tennesseee separating
from the State. The fact is, the GreenYIle conyen-
ton is not fair exponent of the sentiment of the
Union men even of upper East Tennessee. The
delegates as they styled themselves were in the
main self-consttuted, and we're the most ultra men
of the party. Men that were conservative did not
feel enough of interest to go, especially in those
counties in which no public meetings had been held
to appoint delegates, which was the with ma
jority 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 Sth of June
TIE majority Of the men who voted that way in
lower East Tennessee viii stand by the State now
that it has separated from the Northern and Joined
the Southern Union'
