However much the Office seeker himself may be
personally concerned to his success or failure to
attain his end, the great body of the people have
but interest to subserYe in the selection of their
Of, Srs-ths public good.
Much has been said about Gov HARRIS appoint
ments to the staff of the Provisional army
tits not alleged that he has not appointed capable
pstriOtic AID gallant men. Their qualifications are
not even crusized. 1t would seem that this should
be the great test, in a crisis when everything de-
Pends upon good management and efficient action,
when it is far more important to secure good Off
GERS, than even Indifferent Partisans.
1t has been shown that for the sake of removing
any cavil or censure from partisanship Gov BAR
Rs has guarded this point, by dividing the Offices
between the old parties But here again be is met
and answered by the allegation that he did not make
division 70 suit the fsncies Of some who demand
that he Should have considered the relation Of par
ties the 9Th Of February, and made his appoint
meGts on that basis. While we readily admit that
no prescription should have been INDUCED in con
consequence of the opinion of men at that time at
the same time we cannot perceive why an exact
calculation should be made with the view of parcel
ling out spOils TO either of the parties that period
Both Of the parties of February were actuated by
patriotic motives Both were anticoerciouists and
the great body Of them only differed as to the time
when Tennessee should resist the LINCOLN Admins
tration. The Southern Rights party of that day
believed that they should strike the tyrant be
fore he had time to prepare his ornaments They
believed in preparing for the contest, which they
deemed inevitable, by arming the State. The Union
party we're slow TO believe that LINCOLN and his
Black Republican cohorts were the demons that
hey proved themselves to be, and hence they were
for exhausting every peaceful remedy before re.
sorting to arms. When the course ef the Washing
ton Administration no longer doubtful
and its determination TO subiugate the South
was made manifest, these TWO great par
ties united their strength and enthusiasm
and merged into one. They accomplished
their work and solemnly declared the independence
of Tennessee and its union with the Southern Con
federacy. Now we are told that because one of
che original constituents of this great party Of in
dependence not favored with as much of the
spois of Office as the other, they must elect man
who will do them justice and teu thenceforth
commence contending for it with all the vedemence
that HOOK cried out "beef! beef" n the CAMPS OF
the Revolution.
Hook was not appreciated in the csmp, Gnd these
gentlemen, whose minds cannot eschew the CON
sideration Of Office at this time, will simply be
disappointed n their aspirations, for the reason
that they have not yet been able to apprehsrd en-
sireiy the SRcredness Of the crisis.

The KnoxesIls Register learns from Col l. G. HaYsEs
who has justreturned from Richmond, that the
Provisional Army Of Tennessee IN accordance,
with the recent actot our Legislature, hiss been
transferred TO the Governme1t Of the Confederate
States and that Major General POLS has been IN,
ssrucsed to receive and muster the regiments nov
organized into the Confederate service. This will
at ones relieve the State Of the expense Of their
subsistence and maintenance.
We may mention inthis connection, that Mai Gen
S, &. ASDEsos, Of the Provisional Army of Tennes

Gun. for ,a.t Tennessee.

We have positive and reliable information that In
accordance with an understanding with the traitor
Andy johnson as he passed through this State, let
ters have been written from Kentucky 20 that cor
rupt and infamous man advising him that il has
been decided to send she arms which die Admins

1t seems that Kentuckians who have lsbored for
mOaths 70 arm one portion Of our citizens against
another portion, and so to instigate fratrlcidal
war among our friends and neighbOrs and around
our own homes, have fallen in love with that
atrociOus and unnatural work that they cheerfully

people of neighbOrng state in all the horrors they
appear determined to bring on US

plot against the internal peace Of grlat Comnuni-

We believe those engaged in this Internal con-
spracy in this State should be promptly dealt with

Commonwealth made and provided for the main
tenanCe of the peace security and happiness Of the
people and the protection Of their property and

Prises Cap.ured oFg cedar Ksrr.

We give below the facts as we have been able 70
gather them: Four sailing vessels appeared of Ce-
dar Keys on the first instant On the second the
steamer Madison, fully armed and manned with the
two companies stationed at the point-Gen n
Whit Smith in command, went out after them and
succeeded in capturing the four.
1t will be remembered that some time ago the
bockading vessel of New Orleans some where-the
Massachusetts csptured five of our schoouers-
one loaded with Railroad Iron tor the Mobile Rail-
road with Brick one with Turpentine. one
mixed with cargo Of TurPentine and Salt and the
fifth, Mexican craft, with Flour. This squadron
proves to be the same boats, and were their way
70 Kew West. as prizes. under command of Lieut.
Geo L Selien. when the four first described be-
came becalmrd off Cedar Keys, and were recau~
tured. The fifth had left the squadron some dsys
previous the Lieutenant says, against his orders
and was not seen by the capturing party. It has
been suggested that her crew may have become
disguised With the dirty work Of Mr.. Lincoln and
are now 'afoat on their own hook. The name. Of
the schc0ners we have not learned.
Our prisoners released consisted Of fourteen
white men and one negro The Lincoln vassals
captured cOnsist9d of Lieut. Scllen and nineteen
seamen from the Massachusetts, crew, who wer.
brought to this city on Saturday morning, and whl
are now except the Lieutenant who is on his parCIa
of honor confined in our county jill, awaiting the
orders of the Governor. who is now absent from
the Capital. Lieutenant Seld n Is 3 Nirginan.
We know not what cOurse will be pursued in the
premises. but presume the prisoners will be sent 10
Richmond and the vessels returnt TO theiF owners
the csptOrs only claiming saltage probably.
We have one suggestion to make in T, gard to the
prisoners: While we would not have any of them
"lioniEed,' we do hope that the largest possible
scope of liberty, compatible vi b their safe-keep-
ing, will be granted then while they are here We
should like to authorities sping the Lin

A GEORGIA GoUGE.-Though, unfortunately, we
cannot deny that the Coufedersey has been forced
TO pay through the nose for many articles pur-

instance TO prove that this city no longer deserves

of speculation.

sod for more than 30 cents. So it appears that the
