RICHMOND June -, 1861.
LEON TRoUsDALE, EsQ-Dedr Sir: The accounts
which reach Virginia of the military preparations
of Tennessee, send thrill of delight to every
heart. The tact, ingenuity, or Whatever it may be,
that leads her people to an instructive readiness to
appropriate every passing or possible advantage to
the pressing necessities of lfe regarded as most
astonishing. 1t Is mystery to the people of this
old community "dignifed Department. 1t is
well for them that they have this young giant, in
the full maturity of manhood, to ply his muscle
and his brain in their defence By the by our
Governor has won many laurels by his manly, en-
ergetc in relation to Tennessee;s political
stand and less SO in connection with the devel-
opment of her military resources. Such a people
with such Governor are invincibIe, ,ncongaeraJle
On whose shoulders shall this mantle iall?
However, we feel no uneasiness on that er any
other subject. Because we firmly trust in the
sentiment set forth in the good old Methodist song
The Lord will provide And will it be thought
strange that Governors contact with the emer>
gencies of the occasion should deEelope those high
qualities calculated to fit him for the highest posi-
ton in the council Of his country? Tennessee will
soon be represented in the Confederate Congress
doubtless be looked to- to furnish a number of the
Cabinet. The question arises who will be, or
rather, who well fitted for this important trust
as Gov. HARRIS
Your Quartermaster is thus regarded as the
embodiment of energy and practical ability. His
assistants have also exhibited great ability and
endurance. If you could be on the ground and
see the men who ready to pour out their life's
blood in defence of our homes, our wives, our
children, our country if you could see
the great central turning table eff our
detences. from which the half of this gallant band
Of Rebels can be thrown in one or two days time
to any point required by the emergencies of War,
you would never entertain doubt about the tri-
umph Of our arms in Virginia
Mr. DAVIS is cautious, energetic, prompt; well
versed in all that appertains to our defences and
enjoys the unqualified confidence of all classes.
You may look for brilliant results whenever we
can decoy the enemy within our tolls God speed
the good cause Yours truly, in haste,
CUMBERLAND.
