WHEREAS, The people of Tennessee will
again be called upon on the 9th day of next
August, to elect Chief Executive Tor the
State of Tennessee, and it is important that
we, at this time, give an expression as to our
choice OF a statesman to fill that proud posi-
ton; therefore,
ResolUed, That we, the people of Warren
County, irrespective OF party, unanimously
endorse the action of our present Chief EX-
ecutive, and admire his bold and fearless
stand against the aggTessiOns and unc onsti-
tutional demands of the fanatical President;
and, further, heartily endorse and second his
exertions to place our State in an attitude to
defend her soil against the inroads of the
Northern enemy.
RESOLVED, That, endorsing as we do the
course taken by our patriotic Governor.
Isham G. Harris, it is our unanimous wish
that he again permit US to place him in the
Gubernatorial Chair.
ResolUed, That it is our wish that no opposi-
ton be offered to his reelection, as it is our
desire to bury, toreUer, al past party differ
ences, and to remain, as we now are, a United
People.
ResoLued, That we think it unnecessary in
Governor Harris to attempt to make even a
partial canvass of our State, as we are of
opinion that he could more benefcially SUBJ
serve our interest, as people. by remaining
at his post, and giving advice and direction
to our preparations for State defence.
Resolceci, That the above preamble, resolu-
tions and the other proceedings OF this meet
ing be published in the Nel0 Era, aud all the
Nashville papers are requested to publish the
same.

and hoping that our action il the future may

Will NEVER SURRENDER.-The Stanton
Spectator is informed that the gallant men in
command of Capt. ]. B. MOaman, of Pendlc-
ton county. Va, in the pTecipitate retreat
from Pbillippa, positively refused, after go
ing q mile or twO, TO retreat any farther.
They were told that If they would not retreat
any farther, that they had better send flag
OF truce to the enemy and surrender. II was
proposed TO decide the matter by vote,
when the men unanimously voted that they
would TaLhT de asDI surrender. The word
~.urrender," does not belong to the Vocabu-
larry of the brave men OF our mountains.
They are As heroic as Spartans. They are
willing to de, if needs be, but surrender.
EsssrI Such soldiers will never be conquered
they may be killed, but they viii never
surrender.

A Graphic Picture.

The following article, from the Richmond
Examiner, is a philosophical view of the des-
tiny that awaits the South:
Having taken our place among the nations
of the world, it becomes incumbent on us
carefully to inquire what are our qualifica-
tions to enact the rule which we have assum-
ed. Our territory exceeds in extent (exclud-
ing colonial possessions and dependent pro-
vinces) that of any country in Christendom,
except Russia, Brazil and the Northern
Unioa. In fertility of soil, and in richness
and productions, it probably surpasses any
country of Europe or America. In the num-
bers of our people we are only a third or a
f0urth-rate nation; but sparse population
like ours scattered over large space, and
accustomed, from necessity, to the use of the
horse and the gun, and to a lite of individu-
al Independence. selfreliance, hardihood, en-
ergy aud enterprise, is equal in capacity for
defense TO four times the same population.
cooped up in towns, cities and factories One
third of or population are slaves, and are
quite sufficient to furnish ample and COM
portable support to the other two-thirds du-
ring the longest war. War does not disturb our
industrial system; or, if it does. it only dis
turbs It to improve it, for it diyersifies indus
trial pursuits, builds up manufactures, and
teaches us to live Independently. We have
read the lessons Of history in vain. if popn-
iation OF twelve Mullins, one-tbird of whom
are slaves, be not, in time Of war, more than
equivalent to a population OF twenty millions
without slaves A slaveholding people i'm
bibe the military spirit in the nurses arms,
and are reared and exercised as soldiers from
the cradle to the grave. Greek and Roman
citizens We're all soldiers, in sentiment and in
fact, and during the prevalence of Federal
slavery the war spirit among freemen ran
higher even than in the days of Greece and
Rome.

Cresey and at Agincourt, and who conquered

MANY situations in business that have been made

best qualified.
Instead of copying, memorizing, &c. the object of
Mr.. D0LBEARS teaching, is TO give the pupil tho
rough knowledge of principles and skill in their
application.
Book keeping when thus taught is interesting ex-
ercse to the mind while gaining that knowledge of ac-
which every child should POSSES at ten years
of age. As soon child is acquainted with the four
ground rules of arithmetic, he should be skiful
in handling accounts kept by single entry. This will
give e-lIke reality to his knowledge of figures and
make him feel the necessity of extending that knowl-
edge to interest, scount, &c. He shOhld next be
taught to and know that single entry bookkeeping
is matter of science, and that contrary to general
opinion the correctness of accounts can be proved as
easily when kept by single entry when kept by
double entry. This becomes tne important, be-
cause more than halt of all accounts and ought
be kept by single entry When single entry is thus
understood double entry becomes easy attainment
and every pupil should go through several sets OF
books in each style
1t is only in bookkeeping that child see the
proper application OF arithmetic to business He
should therefore be early made acquainted with it
