Believing that the course of Spectators
and Jobbers of the country is having great
er tendency to depTess and discourage our
people than all the Vandal hordes which Lin
coin can bring against US, hereby agree to
grind Wheat for the People at the rate of
one dollar per barrel of Flour. or twenty
cents per bushel, to be ground in lots of from
one bushel up to five barrels. provided it is
for the use of the families having it ground.
And am also willing TO invest fifty per
cent of the profits thus made in Confederate
Bonds. My mill will be in operation about
the last of next month"; will then be pre-
pared to grind over one hundred barrels per
day, of as good flour as is made in the world
L make this ann ouncement thus in advance
in order TO quiet, to some extent, the fears of
the people, and to enable them to purchase
their supplies of wheat before it hiss fallen in
to the hands of the spectators of the coun-
try. And while we all regret that there are
those among Us who allow self interest to
predominant ever their love TO the cause of
the South, you can console yourselves with
the rejection that there is one among you,
though poor indeed. who is unwilling to grow
rich upon the necessities of the people while
engaged in such holy cause as the one in
which the people OF the South are at present
engaged. JOHN j. MCCAIN.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. Ia. 1861. J
Information having reached the Commau-
der-in-Chief that Regiments Of the Tennessee
Provisional Army, heretofore organized and
mustered into the service of the State, are
being recruited above the niazituRnr number
of men allowed by law, and considerable
portion of the period of enlistment of many of
said regiments having expired, and the re-
cent proclamation of the Governor having
afforded abundant opportunity for all who
desire to do so to enter the service in compa-
MES and regiments, and be mustered into
service in obedience to said proclamation,
further recruiting in the infantry and cav
airy battaliOns and regiments organized pri-
or to the date of said proclamation, is hereby
expressly forbidden. And those having charge
of the transportation of troops will after this
date permit no recruits to be transported at
public expense for service in said battalions
and regiments. Any recruits mustered into

1t is a source of pleasure to reflect upc

1t is a source of pleasure to reflect upon
the generous proposition which Mr.. JOHN j..
Mccain makes, through our columns. TO the
public. Amidst the general grasping after
gold, the display of sOrdid avaIiee which
characterize the times it is as refreshing as
a fountain of pure water in the desert waste.
He might have followed the example of 9TH
ers, and made his mills a source of revenue
rich as the blood of the needy from which the
miser's treasure is coined, but be has, like a
just, humane and patriotic citizen, preferred
the gains which do not come of tears, or an
guish, or blood. We respect him for his
manhood and his manliness and We trust
our citizens will properly appreciate the
step which he has taken.
Let no one after this, if he can help it, pay
the mnrderUus prices which are asked for
-four. Wheat is plentiful in the grsnaries of
the honest farmer, and can be purchased at
fair and equitable prices Let the grain be
bought and sent to McCann's mill, and there
ground on the terms be offers By adopting
this course, the consumer can get his flour at
living price, and defy the greed of the op-
preSsOr.
