Letter from Col Haynes.

Knoxville, Tenn, July ., 1861.
Editor of the Daily register:
SIR:-The people of Tennessee viii be called
upon, on the first Thursday in August next. to make
their election of another Governor to guide for
the next two years, the Administration Of the State
Government
1 have received many letters iuquiring whether
l would be candidate for that station take this
occasion to say that will not be candidate for tie
office of Governor st the approaching election
The duties IF that high trust are likely to be for
the next two years, as they have been for months
past, arduOus and responsible. Considering how
ably and efficiently they have been performed by
the present incumbent of the GubernaJorial Office
in the crisis which has been precipitated upon US
by the Federal tyrants at Washington without dis
arrangement to the claims of others it seems to me
that Is the interest Of the people and duty they
owe to themselves to re-eeCt Governor Harris at
the approaching election.
expect to give that gentleman my hearty and
cordial support not only from a sense Of duty to
myself and the people OF the State but the high
est testimonial a freeman ever offered to lofty pa
triotism and distinguished merit.
In the midst of the events that are in course Of
daily development. it is no time 10 hear or to listen
to the voice Of discord in the ranks Of the States
Rights Party and individual pretensions should
not only be absorbed, but sink into utter insignIi-
canoe IN the presence of the sacred and bleeding
cause of the South.
Tennessee, with the full appreciation Of my heart,
has spUTned the chains OF the Washington desp0H
ism. and taken her position with the Confederate
States. She has boldly entered upon the great
struggle OF protecting private property, of secur-
ing the public liberties and of maintaining the right
Of sslfgOvernment among men. The present Gov
ernOr has safely directed her course fer the past
let him take the helm for the future of two years
and shall feel. for one, that, however fierce the
storm the interest, the honor and the independence
OF the State safe in the hands of such pilot.
Respectfully, your Ob't servant
EANDON G. HATNES.

correspondence OF the Clncnla.l enquirer
CAIRO July 8-Camp d. fance is still in tie old
place. Little news and nothing important,
Saturday and Sunday were occupied in taking
private votes in the dieren: regiments in and about
Cairo. The result was as follows:
In Colonel Cooks regiment, stationed at Mound
City, there were 40 who voted for three years.
In Colonel Oglesby's Eighth Of Cairo, lS4 vo3ed
for three years.
In Colonel McAuthur's regiment, Twelfth, thare
were very few-nOt over so.
The balance have not been tried.
You may think it singular that after all the pasri
otto talk that few take the three year oath Il is
simply this they are disgusted with pOtiea! officers
who don't know as much about war as their pri-
Yates. The officers here, as a general thing, have
little control over their men, as their acts in she
bread md water riots will show. They pay them
money, and talk pretty to them, until they swear
in for three years, which the men are beginning to
see
Their vote will tell The tale. Another thing is.
they mix Llneolnism with patriotism. They are
not Synonymous. They should pay here. The Bri-
Yates have no money. Hundreds Of then in and
near Cairo get passed out Of camp and pick black
berries and sell them for tobacco They are not to
be blamed for gOiOn in debt. Even the officers can
not pay their hotel bills.
WaShwOmen have toll m that they were threat
ened to he turned out of house and home because
they could not pay ten dollars board. and that Col-
Onels in the army owed them over that amount for
washing.
The soldiers boarding at the St. Charles Eotel
owe that house over ten thousand dollars. They
owe for board: they owe for whisky, and every
thing else.
Cairo IS still supposed 10 be in charge OF the civil
authorities, but in reality it is under martial law.

less the patrol they call the street SOLDIER squad
will try to analyze it, and if not of their particular
politics will arrest you.
Last night we nan arrested because he
said he q kentuckian by adoption and had left
Memphis because he feared they would draft him
