Correspondence of the Telegraph.

Col. John r. Eakm: Allow me to answer,
through your paper, the many letters and ur-
gent personal appeals made to me, to allow my
name to be used as candidate for seat in
the Confederate Congress from the second dis
trict of Arkansas. After due consideration,
nv determination announced two years ago,
though much shaken by the mean abuse and
base detraction of corrupt and bad-hearted
men, will be adhered to. cannot permit my
name to be used.
will defer the vindication of my character
and conduct until the return of our people to
their homes, and then, while shall endeavor
to be serviceable to my people and country, il
is my determination to aspire to no ofhee, pre-
ferring, when this terrible war is over, to de,
vote my time and energies to the protection
and the advancement of those dearer to me
than honors, ambition, fame, and all else be-
side.
Nothing can induce me to alter that deter
mination, save, alone, to assist in hurting from
its place corrupted power, and its polluted
train of venal and debased followers.
To my old friends whose confidence and es-
TEEN | have shared for so many years, re-
turn my most grateful Acknowledgements, as
well as to those who are pleased to assure me
that they have found in my course and charac'
ter qualities worthy of high and important
trusts.

Bcs The following order will give more sat-
lsfaction, and, if adhered to, will tend more To
harmonize the people of the Trans -Mississippi
department, and unite them in the support of
all Confederate military commanders. than anv
thing which has occurred since the State
adopted the Confederate constitution. If ve
mistake not, it is the first explicit assurance
given to the people that it was not the intention
of the military authorities to override the civil
laws and establish martial law in their stead
Gen. Holmes did not revoke the illegal orders
of Gen. Hindman in terms He neutralized
them in effect, but without declaring any dis.
appreciation or renouncing aay intention of re-
establishing them at his pleasure. 1t is useless
to disguise the fact, which we assert without
any censure Of the motives Of Gen. Holmes.
that great many of our best and most thought.
ful citizens have feared that their civil rights
and constitutional liberties were to be trampled
! upon, at the will of tie military commander
of the district.
The danger has been, that some of our no b.
est spirits. prompted by exalted ideas of civil
liberty, might put themselves in opposition to
the military authorities, and by their influence
with the people produce dscord and weakness.
| The best safeguard against this. and the trues,
course in ITSELF is for the military authorities
| to. show themselves the firmest supporters OF
| the Constitution, and all laws Of Congress
passed in accordance with it.
