Bar We publish, on the first page the CORES
pondence between Gov. foote and Maj. A. J. Dom
nelson. As men Of prominence, their opinions are
no, without value, and as both agree with us as TO
the importance Of border State Conference, though
differing as to the probable result we take the
greater pleasure in laying their correspondence be-
fore our readers. Gov Foote desires the Confer
enee because he believes the North viii notconcede
its demands,and that the refusal to do so will unite
the entire South under one and the same Confeder-
acy; and Maj. Donnelson wants a Conference, be-
cause he believes that its demands win be conceded
and the sectional conflict thus ended. II, however,
it should fail in its object, he is for dssolving the
connection of the border States with all others that
viii not come to them upon such terms as will Sc
cure the institution of slavery and put an end to
the agitation of the subject. Gov. Foote advocates
the proposition as the most effective mode of bring
ing about the secession of the border States, whilst
Maj. Doneson to consider it the only mode of
preventing secession. Which is right time will

Be1. The struggle Tor nominations 10 tl,e Sarious
representative positions in this District has begun
and the asprants and their friends will presume
not be idle We had hoped that, with the demoli-
ton Of the old party organizations, wire-working
CONFERENCE.-The machinery which has almost de-
stroyed the Govenment--wouldh have been dispens-
with, and their places supplied by unselish patri-
otism and greater Difference to the wishes Of the
people who have so long been the cat's-paws with
which politicians pull their ehetnuts out of the fire.
But habit is second nature and the practices Of
twenty-five years are not easily abandoned. The
number of those who have "axes to grind is le-
gion and, heretofore, numberless tricks ana devil
ces will be resorted to- by each one, in order to in
duce the people to turn the stone this way, or that
they in fact being the tools that are to be ground,
not sharpened-for the duer they are the better
they subserve thepurposes for which they to be
used. Having concluded not to run for Governor,
we have no 'axe to grind and we wish it dis
else, as the organ of this or that clique, and that
we intend to uphold merit, unbiased by any party
prediction, and to expose trickery wherever we
may detect it, Occupying middle ground between
immediate secession and unconditional submission,
we are for the men-all things else being equal
who stand by u.s. and if such are not in all cases,
placed before us, we shall then use our own discre-
ton in choosing, from the one side or the other,
whom we shall support We are sick of politics,
as trade, and disguised with the barter of the
people for ofice-or, in other words the traffic in
the best interests of the country to make capital for
demagogues
We do not claim to belong TO any party. A few
weeks ago. we were in active and cordial co-opera-
ton with party which boldly avowed its determi-
nation to maintain the rights of the South in or
out of the Union but that party, suddenly and
without warning, abandoned us, and as they fed
hurled anahemas at us for daring to stand firm and
renew the demand for the equal rights of the slave
States in the Union. Thus freed from the obiga-
tons of party we can take clearer view of the
whole field of controversy, and make a safer esti-
mate of the merits of those engaged in it and hav-
ing no other object in view than tie maintenance
of the right and the resistance Of arrogant and IA
natical aggressions, we have free choice of the
men and measures best adapted to this end Then
fix up your tickets, gentlemen, and let us see the
stuff they are made of Build your platforms and
let us see the workmanship andquality of the tim
be and when this is done, we shall take the liber-
ty of looking beneath the structures to see whether
they are sustained by the solid masonry of patriot
ism and principle or rest upon the shoulders Of
mere politicians. Let it not be inferred from these
remarks, that we intend to be neutra-far from it;
but we intend to stand aoof from the preliminary
struggle and to enter the lists as soon as the fight
fairly begins.

A VOICE FROM STEWART.

Mn. EDrros: The people are beginning 20 look
around them for men 10 advocate their principles
In the approaching canvass. There is a strong de-
sire among many Of the Union men Of this county
that JANIS Il. BAILEY, Esq. should permit his name
to be placed before the GAINESVILLE Convention as
candidate for the State Senate. We knoN that the
office would add nothing to the position which Mr..
Bailey occupies before the public and it might
require sacrifice Of private interest on his part
to accept the nomination aud make the canvass;
but we need his clear and logical mind to expose
the trickery Of those who still trying to hurry
Tennessee out Of the Union; il is also important
that our next Legislature should be composed of
the best men in the State--and knowing that Mr..
Bailey will acknowledge the strength Of the claims
of Tennessee upon her children in this crisis, we
call upon him to allow the use of his name before
the convention. STEWART.

Mazagrau is a small fort on the coast west
of Mortaganem In February, 1871, it was
garrisoned by the sixteenth company of the
African battalion, consisting of one hundred

month Abdel Kader's viceregent invested it
with one battalion of regular and twelve hun.
dred irregular Arabs with two cannon.
"Ihe struggle lasted for four days and -four
nights interruptedly." An Arab describing it
said "Those days were black, for the smoke
OF the powder ecipsed the sun, and the nights
were lighted by the camp fires and the flashes
of musketry and cannon" Half of the am.
munition Of the small garrison was spent al.
