Cave Johnson for DIsunion.

We find the following letter from Cave
johnson, OF Tennessee. in the Memphis
appeal OF Tuesday. tmay be we'll enough
to premise II by explaining that the people
OF Tennessee vote on two distinct nrouosi.
tons, first for separation from the Union
next for representation in the Southern
Confcdersey:
CLARKsvILLE. Tenn, May 20, '6I.
DEAR an compliance with your
note OF this morning, have 20 state that.
IN my judgment, under the circumstances
that now surround us, il is the best for the
country that we should vote for Separation
and Representation at the approaching
election.
The conduct Of the Administration In
making war upon the States, is such sub
version Of the Constitution as makes IL tbe
duty oil each State TO exercise, at once. all
the rights reserved in the Constitution 10
secure their Independence and futere pros.
perity.
j should have preferred not voting for
representation, at present, in the Southern
Cs7iederecy, aud that our State should
have stood nd sccu1eof on5sr 80 4crea--
mentt 70 act with those States o!fensjyeIv
and defensively during the war, and amer
peace, then TO have acted in concert with
the other slaveholding States in the fcrr,ss
rion Of n new ConfederacY.
But as the question is now to be yotsd
on, a vote against representation would
probably Re construed at the North % q
vote iavoring the policy Of the Administrs.
ton, ana might induce the belief that there
was much greater division among us than
really exists. have cOrcIuded to give nv
vote for representation, under the belief
and hope that united front would best
promote the interests Of the State, aud
trust to making a proper Confederation
when We shall have secured peace.
am, very respectfully, your friend.

Coon ADVICE Those who wish to do
good, but hesitate TO do it. would do we'll
to read the following. The reason NAV
be suggested to them by the perusal:
Do not delude yourself with the idea
that you please everybody. Who ever
knew anybody that was worth anything
that had nobody to find fault with him p
You would have 10 DO evil in many cases
to please the evil fatter some to crafty
their pride; indulge the selfish, submit 10
the tyraDnieal, be tool for the ambitious,
and be careful not TO have anything ss
good as those who desire to have every,
thing superior to their neigbbors.
"If you are public man, should you be
dIligent, you must expect to have many
secretly dislike you and talk against you,
for your success; and if you accomplish
little, though many show themselves friend
ly, 1t often leaks out that some who appear
pleasant TO you can do thus because they
do not fear your rivalry-they may smile,
on you outwardly, and yet entertain COZ
tempt for your insuficiency. Always do
what is right, be diiigent, DO the most you
can, pay 10 regard to fault finders, aud
you will find as many friends as any seDsi-
BILE man need desire"

Each has his own one path in life,
A circle small within bis ken
And small circle, too perchRncc-
We can not all be famous nien
And dates are not truly Gone
By painting yainly after fame,
Or frettinE for the want Of chance
To quietly make brilliant name.
A brilliant name! Too oft is this
The phantom that leads many on,
Until, too late, Ihcy wake. and lind
The time for real eudeayOr gone!
Better TO I'll a lowly place,
And labor there with soul and heart,
Than dream anal iticusly Of wealth
Till time and youthful strength depart.
Do speak idly Truth 81
That in the lowest place Of life
man can act a hero's part,
Amid the daily toll and strife
Aye, amid hourly din and care,
Even though within the humblest home
Can shine in virtue great and grand
As even gilded ancient RoIne
LIES beroism does not need
spacious lofty stage:
Lifc's greatest deeds are not all writ
Upon the flaming golden page.
Believe me glorious work Is done,
As the worlds wheels still onward go,
Which ten-,Vngued rumor never yet
Hath blazgned, or viii ever know.
Self conquest, selfdevotion-these
Are the high gifts which give to all
Who own them that well tempered mind
Prepared, alike TO win or fall
Prepared, with fitting men, to meet
The happy good or bitter III
mistaken whether fate the cup
With nectar or with gall may fill.
Each ofthese words, in loftier truth,
Is sure talismau in life
To guard and strengthen heart aud brain
In time Of hourly din ana strife:
All stations they alike bett-
The peasants cot or monarch's throne
To every mau a princeiy gift
They bring, in selfrespect alone.

VALUE OF OSE CENT.-A French math>
ematleian has been calculating what would
no" De the sum produced by one cent. put
out at i've per cent per annum, compound
interest, at the commencement of the
christian era. He estimates what would
be the value ola bail of solid gold equal
In size to the earth. He then makes the
astounding statement that had one such
ball OF gold fallen each minute during the
past eighteen hundred and sixty years, the
value OF all these globes together would
not amount to so much as the sum pro.
duced by one cent at compound interest
during the same period.

Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-12-10
From the Richmond Enquirer, Dec. 4.


1t is understood that the commands of
Gems Price and Mccullough have not been
able to cooperate with that entire accord
necessary to the greatest degree of efficiency.
Gen. Price is the idol of his Missouri SOL
diers, while the troops of Arkansas are, per-
haps, equally devoted to Mccullough. This
Jealous devotion to their respective leaders
has rendered difficult the concentration of
their forces. 1t is believed that the Presi-
dent has undertaken to secure the proper con-
cert by calling third officer to the command
of the Department of Missouri and Arkansas
leaving the two Generals above named in
their present positions, but under a common
superior. Whether Col. Heath, who has been
adiudged worthy of this high position, or of
the rank to which he has been promoted, is
equal to it or not, the future viii disclose.
The opinion of so good judge as President
Davis, entities him in advance to large
confidence. We hope that the object of the
appointment will be realized in the complete
cooperation of our gallant forces in Missouri
and Arkansas. The heroes ofSpringfeld and
the heroes of Lexington are worthy of each
and the pride of their oonntrymen. Their
fame is part of the Confederate glory. Gen.
Price has won the popular heaEt by his bril-
liant and successful generalship. We trust
that nothing will be allowed to obstruct his
path or embarrass his energies. he has done
much already, and more of the popular hope
gathers around him at present than, perhaps,
any other General in the service. he under
stands the Missourians and they understand
him. We trust that together they are to win
many fresh laurels until every invader shall
have been spufned from the soil Of the EN-
pire State Of the West.

The Missouri Department. - Una MI
nous Vote of the Thanks of Con-
gress TO General Price. .3
Congress has passed, in secret session, a
resolution of thanks to General Price and
the Missouri Army for gallant and meritOri-
GUS services. We annex copy of the reso-
luton
A resolution of thanks TO Major General Ster-
ling Price, and to the officers and soldiers aAader
his command, for gallant and nieritorious con-
duet IN the present AGAR:
Be IL resolved by The Congress Of The Confederate
States of Anaerica, That the thanks OF people the
of the Confederate States are eminently due
and are hereby rendered to Maj. Gen. Sterling
Price and the Missouri army, under his com
mand. for the gallant conduct they have dis
played throughout their service in the pre-
sent especially for the skill, fortitude
and courage by which they gained the brill
liant achievement at Lexington, Missouri. re
sulting, on the the 10th day of September
last, in the reduction of that place and the
surrender of the entire Federal army there
employed.
Be Il further resolved, That copy of this
resolution be communicated by the Presi
dent to Gen. Price, and, through him, to the
army and those under his command.
Il is understood that the resolution was
passed unanimously. As it was introduced
just after enquiry on the part of Congress TO
ascertain whether the appointment of Colo
mel Heath to take command in the Missouri
department. as Major. General had been COM
municated by the President, Git had not been
sent in then,) the action of Congress, as
above, is taken as a pretty plain indication
of its temper on the question of the pending
appointment to outrank General Priae in the
department of Missouri. @
