ORGANIZE YoE HoAE DEpgNcE.-We call at

Tie Congress IF the Confederafe States OF
| imerica do enact, That for th. purpose OF local
| defence in any portion of the Confederate
states, any number of persons not less than
twenty. who are over the age OF As years, or
otherwise not liable 10 military duty, may as
.ociate themselves a military company, elect
their own officers aud establish rules and rugu-
lations for their own government, and shall be
considered ~ belonging to the provision al
army Of the Confederate States, serving with
out pay or allowances, and entitled. when cap
tured by the enemy, to all the privileges Of
prisoners Of war; provided that such company
shall. ns soon practicable, transmit their
muster roll list of the names Of the officer.
aud privatcs thereof to the GoveEpor of the
State, the Commanding General Of mc Depart
| ment, or any Brigadier General in the State
! or Confederate service. to be forwarded to the
| Secretary Of War; but the President or the
military district may, at any time, disband
such companies: provided, that in the States
. and districts in which the act entitled "an act
| to further provide for the public defence" ap-
! proved April l6, 1862. and the acts ameniatory
thereof, have been suspended, persons OF any
| age, resident within such States or districts,
may volunteer and form part of such companies,
so long rs such suspension may continue: pro-
vided that person shall become member
of said company until he shall have FIRST taken
the oath Of allegiance To the Confederate State

us organize at once. We are advised that Gen
Kirby Smith desires the formation of such
companies in every county and will furnish

IMPoRTAST, IF TRUE.-We have late
news from Havana by the arrival of a
vessel running the blockade. When she
left it was rumored, and pretty generally y
believed at Havana, that Capt. Seumes
had had an engagement with the Yankee
steamer Vanderbilt and sunk her, with a
large loss of life. The ", il will be re.
collected, has been for = long time in
search of the "rebel pirate" Is the Yam
KEGS designate Semmes. 50 conhdent
were some people in Havans Of the truth
of tho rumor, that they were betting on
it extensively.
After the above was in'type we learned
that the engagement was published in La
Habans, a Havana paper, ssd that is was
received both from Key West and Nassau,
and was believed by Yankee and other
shippers. 1t is, we think, quite probable.
The action is reported to have occurred
off the Bahamss.-MoSile Tribune, l4M
inst.
Washington telegraph., 1863-09-09

ELECTIoNs.--The returns from the
Texas elections are very dilatoFy. The
papers conflict in opinion as to who has
been elected Governor, although we be-
leve it to be pretty well ascertained that
Murrah is the man. Stockdale has been
very probably elected 1t. Governor.
In Texas, as in other States of the
South recently, some of the old members
of Congress have been left at home, and
Others sent in their places. 1t is bad
precedent just now, and we think We can
see many i'll effects arising from it in those
= districts where such contests have arisen.
v We regret this in any part of the South
in this crisis of our fortune; but we are
gratifed at the same time to observe that
almost every one of the defeated Congress
men (such as Foote of Tennessee for in
stance) have been noted as opponents oe
the war measures of Congress, and of tho
policy of the Administration. If any
thing could reconcile US to political e1.
element, it is this result of getting rid
of the marplots, and Eating sound South
ern acar-to-t o-the.last men in their place
But wherever canvass results in turning
out sound man, known to be devoted to
our independence, and firm supporter of
the war measures and policy, and putting
in his place man of contrary views, or
even new man whose policy is not
known to the world, however sound he
may be, double evil ensues. We suffer
at home the evils of the canvass, and we
make the impression on our enemies that
we are tired of the war, and encourage
them to prosecute it with vigor, in the
hope of reaping benefit from our change
of sentiment.
