quer The armies which have been, sent nea,
you to ,tantaiize you with hope, have been
withdrawn, and, with cool audaeity, Mr.
| Lincoln virtually tells you that you have nc
| rights. No alternative remains but to choose
| the destiny which an arrogant and unprin.
cip!ed administration forces upon US
1t IS almost unnecessary to declare to you
that adhered to the Union amidst good re-
port and evil report, suffering aud danger,
while 1t was in my power to support it, aud
that when my efforts were paralyzed and nv
have cherished Che hope that all might vet
be well; but the last link is broken that
bound me to a government for which my an
cestors fought, and, whatever may be the
course of others, | shall feel it my duty to en-
courage the most persevering and determined
resistance against the tyrants and usurpers
OF the Federal administration who have blast
ed our hopes and are cruelty seeking to des-
troy the last vestige of freedom among u.s. If
You would save yourselves from a species of
carnage unexampled in the history Of North
America, but unequivotallv invited in Mr..
Lineeln's proclamation let every map who is
able to fight back on his arinur, and, with
out awaiting the, slow and tedious process of
conscriptian,s at once volunteer to aid in the
struggle against him. The race is not always
to the swift nor the battle to the strong and
it cannot. in the nature of things, be possible
that a just God will prosper the ef,rts of
man or a government which has hypocrtical-
ly pretended to wage war IN behalf of the
Constitution, but now throws off the mask
and sets it utterly at defiance. No despot in
Europe would dare to exercise the powers
which Mr.. Lincoln. in less than two brief
years, has btlldiy usurped. lie has suspend
ed the writ Of habeas corpus in regard to all
persons who have been or may lie Imprisoned
by military authority and thus destroyed a
right essential to the liberty Of the citizen,
right which the mailed barsns of England
wrested by force from King jain, and insert
ed III the great charter of British freedom;
right which it caused centuries of contest to
engraft upon the British constitution; a right
for which eur fathers steruly struggled. and
which is incorporates in every American con-
stitution. He has called armies into the field,
without authority, according to his own ac-
acknowledgements, ard has become a military
Dictator. He now claims the prerngative to
abolish slavery without our con~ent and, if
he can thus take our negroes, why may he
not take cur lands and every thing else, we
possess. and reduce Us to state of vassalage
to which DO parallel can he found save in the
history of the Middle Ages.

The f flowing correspondence is published
in the Mississippian Of the 23d:
Jackson. Mss. Sept. p, 1862.
Major Gene al Gideon J. Pillow, present:
1t has been represented to me from reliable
sources, that at a gathering of the citizens at
Clarksville, Tennessee, in February last, you
made use of language directly rejecting upon
me as a soldier and an officer, as connected
with the defence Of Fort Henry.
proud consciousness of having performed
my whole duty to my government, will not
permit me to allow my name to rest under
even breath of censure. You will therefore
be kind enough to state in writing, whether
or not am to consider your remarks made at
GAINESVILLE as intended to reflect upon my
conduct as an officer or a soldier
Respectfully, your obedient servant.

Brig General, P. a. C. S.
General P:Nou's Reply.
JACKSON Mss, Sept. 81, 1862.
Brigadier General Tighman, c. S. A:
Your note of to-day. stating that YOU had
been informed that had made use of remarks
in February last, rejecting upon yau as a
soldier and an officer. in conducting the de-
fence of Fort Henry, is received.
In reply, state that at the time and place
referred to- | made few brief remarks ex-
rressive of the conviction then upon my mind,
that the works at Fort Henry were prema-
turely surrendered.
This conviction was formed from infprna-
ton which / then believed to be true. Sub
seqnently. and while at Fort Donelsen, re-
ceived from Major Gilmer, engineer on duty
with you, at Fort Henry, and present during
the assault on that post, a statement of facts
and of the circumstances connected with its
defence, which satisfied my mind that my
first information was incorrect-and that tn e
work could not have long withstood so vigorous
an assault. It is proper to say that when my
remarks were made had no unkind person
al feelings toward you, but were the result
of a conviction based upon erroneous informa-
ton.
Very respectfully, your obedicnt servant,

THE GUERRmLA WARFARE IN KEN-
TUoTY.-The Louisville journal says -
We learn by passenger by the Nash
vile train last evening that party of
Federal scouts left Bowling Green in the
direction of Woodbury., on Wednesday
day evening. The commander of the
the expedition started two men to the
residence of man named WestbroOk,
for information in reference to party of
rebel guerrillas. One of them, named
Wilson, was shot and killed by one of
the Westbroks as the two approached
Wcstbrook's house. subsequently, as
the entire party were crossing a rayine,
they were attacked by an overwhelming
rebel force, and compelled to return
TO Bowling Green. A party was
sent out to the Westbrook place and ar
rested three Of the Westbrooks, who were
implicated in the assassination Of Will
sou.

William J.. Yancey has been making a
speech in Richmond, in which he advo-
Gates the browning Of Jefferson Davis
with supreme power, with the title of
DietAtor.--NeiO Orleans Delta, July %.
OF course this is done at JEFF. DAvIs's
instance and approval, as no man would
dare to make such proposition at such
time, unless he was backed by the
power of the military arm, JEFF. DAVIS,
according to that gross imposture, the
Confederate Constitution, is President Of
the skedadderacy for sir years, but even
this does not appear 10 satisfy him. I'M
der his dictatorship with the conscript
law, and the currency law, the deluded
people of the South will have a fruitless
search indeed for those fabulous rights"
which have been their dream for so many
years. But what other end could be in
store for a government whose "chief
cornerstone is African slavery p If
such be the corner stone, what could the
superstructure be save one of skulls and
human bones, like the skeleton palace of
Tamerlane DAVIS may pretend at first
to refuse She proGered Dictatorship, but
if he puts 1t aside when that bowling
murderer, Yancey, offers it, it will be
very much in the manner after which
Caesar put aside "the kingly crown"
which MARK ANTONY offered him aupOn
the Lupercal;' very gently indeed, and
each time more gently than before. The
Confcderacy is already a Dictatorship
and DAVIS is a Dictator.
