To the Voters of York District.
If elected as one of your representa-
tives to the State Legislature, L vii
serve you to the best Of my ability
I have not sought the office, and under
ordinary circumstances would not &C
cept it-but now I do not feel at liber.
ty to decline-and ifsuchis your pleas
ure, will again represent you.
I am of the opinion that the Conven
tion now in existence should terminate
The purpose for which it convened has
been accomplished, and its further exist
ence is wholly unnecessary and fraught
with danger to the rights and liberties
of the people. The Executive Council
created by the Convention and clothed
with powers both Legislative and execu
tive, is branch of government wholly
unknown to our constitution, of dan
gerous tendency, and should no longer
be tolerated by free people. an
opposed to such Council, either with its
present or modified powers, andif elect
ed will vote to abolish it. The consti
tuition and laws rightfully administered
are sufficient to protect our liberties.

establishment of another precedent
(from the Convention system) more ia.
tai to our free government than any
heretofore established. We have an or
ganized Confederate Government; the
State Constitution grants Legislature,
a Judiciary system, but there is no war
rant for FIVE Governors with unlimited
power, who have not done one single
act for the interest Of the State, but on
the contrary, their administration has
been unjust, unconstitutional and ex-
tremely partial to one section of the
State, and an attempted degradation Of
our own. >~aef.HI-
In this issue great principles are in
volved. If the majority of the Conven-
ton, through the Legislature, can estab-
lish their doctrine, viz; that ,conven-
tionSare supreme, and have unlimited
authority on all subjects, then Of course
we have noeremedy but that of revolu-
ton, and by so doing we but SOW the

A. R. Nelson has come out in long
address to the people Of East Tennes.
see, condemning the recent proclama'
ton of Lincoln, and declaring it the
most outrageous act of usurpation ever
contemplatedin in Europe or America
He says: 81 shall feel it my duty to
encourage the most persevering and de.
termined, resistance against the tyrants
and usurpers of the Federal administrac
tion who have blasted our hopes, and
are seeking to destroy the last vestige
of freedom among US. Let every man
who is able to fight buckle onhis armor,
and, without waiting for the slow pro-
cess of conseription, at once volunteer
to aid in the struggle against the usur'
per. God will not prosper man or
government which heretofore hypocrit-
ically pretended to wage war for the
Constitution, but now throws off the
mask and sets it at defiance"

ment.

L answer that I am not in favor Of
the Executive Council. L would moi
accuse the members of the Council Of
bad purposes-all 3 trust are trus
Southerners, but it is an error in prin'
ciple-it is a bad precedent and danger
GUS to liberty. 49,
Sd. Would you favor the modi6ca'
ton of the powers of the Council or its
unconditional repeal. -
To keep our Government strictly
republican, we must oppose and reject
all acts giving power to the few, over
the many. five Dc, not do this as a
free people, our liberties will pass away,
and then comes monarchy, with all its
direful consequences. I am opposed to
all assumed power, either military or
civil-the will Of the people should be
the law of the land. - -

In answer to the first interrogatory,

hard fight with them. The result is

BALDWIN, Friday night, October 8
Our troops began to evacuate the
bluff last night about one or two o'clock,
crossing the river (the bluff is on the
south side.) The last boat load crossed
about s o'clock this morning.
They did not see or engage the Yam
KEGS, except Chambers company, who
met twenty of the enemy's pickets and
drove them back. All our troops are
at jacksonville.
When the train left Jacksonville, Fl.
ring was heard down the river. The
enemy's gunboats will probably not
come up to the town until the morning.
BALDWIN, Oct. 3.-l1 p. m.-The
train frsm Jacksonville, just arrived at
Baldwin, brings Harrison's and Wes.
colts companies. Tie troops will be
massed at Baldwin. The train will be
moving troops all mig ght, to get them all
at Baldwin by daylight.
The Yankee transports are at Jack
sonville, supposed. to be unloading
troops. They fired on our pickets, and
it is expected they will burn the town.
Our forces left the bluff in great haste,
some leaving their hats and shoes.
The transports are supposed to have
about 5000 men on board.

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.

The Annual Meeting of the Yorl
District Bible Society was held at Bull

September. Rev. R. Latham, who hac
been appointed to preach the Annua
Sermon, being absent, Rev. R. Y. Rus
sci was askedto preach on thepccasion
His discourse was argumentative, didac
tic and pathetic, in word, most ear
nest appealin behalf Of the universal
diffusion of the Scriptures. We con.
sidered it one of the most happy efforts
of the kind we have ever heard.
Our President being dead, and oul
Vice-President absent, MIR. Sam'l Blair
was called to the Chair, and Mr.. Elder
requested to act as Secretary. The
regular business of the Society was then
transacted. Rev. R. A. Ross was
chosen President, and Rev. S. L. Wat
son, Vice-President. The other officers
were continued, by motion.
The next Annual meeting will be held
at Bethel Church, Rev. s. L. Watson's
charge, on Friday, preceding his Fall
communion. Rev. w. w. Carothers
to preach the sermon, with Rev. J. A.
Davies, as his alternate.
The following resolution was passed
relative to the death of our President :

31st Of March, of the present year, our

The Proposed Review.

Now since the law extending the pro
visions of the Conscript Act SO as tt
embrace persons up to forty-6ve years
of age has passed, thus virtually break
ing up the first corps of State Reserves
nothing is wanting to render complete
the reasons which should induce the
Executive to countermand the order
calling out the Regiments which be-
longed to that corps for drill and re
view. Even without this finishing stroke
we never could understand the wisdom
of the call. If the organization was tc
stand, it would have been time enough
and certainly less burthensome to al
concerned, for the review to have taker
place after the Regiments had been
mustered into actual service +; and if the
organization was not to stand, the cal
imposeda a very serious burthen upon its
members as well as injury to the coun'
try, without even the se1nblance Of ex,
cuse to Justify it.
Should the call still be insisted on, a
large number of persons, at this time in
no condition to undergo the sacrifice Of
time and means involved, will be COM
PEELED to take long journeys, some up
wards of sixty miles, in order to reach
the places of review wherever they may
be. And as matters now stand, these
same individuals may be hurried off very
shortly afterwards as Conscripts TO re-
cruit other Regiments now in Confede-
rate service.
But apart from all this, the present
is no time for holiday show-for mimic
warfare. While our country is bleed
ing at every pore, while large, portion
of our people are engaged in the stern
realities of deadly conflict, it is in bad
taste, to use no harsher expression, to
cause another portion to play a part in
the 'pomp and circumstance of mere
ly peaceful dress parade. 1t would be
a miserable farce interpolated upon a
real, awful tragedy-a grim made ghast-
ly by the surrounding death and desc
lation. We sincerely hope we may be
spared this sorry show until a more
propitious season. q.

THE CONVENTION, &c.

1t will be seen by the response of our
Candidates for the Legislature, that old
York will speak most emphatically on
the Convention question. We have
alway claimed our District as a unit in
opposition to this piebald Dictatorship;
and we feel assured the entire State
will express the same feeling. We hope
the "Reviews' that have been called by
the Governor will be now counterman-
ded unless the Executive wishes to ex-
hibit his staff, before they retire like a
bright exhalation before the dawn.
