IL seems that there will be some oppo-
sition TO the regular nominees. The
Knoxville Register thus sketches the op-
position 10 the nominations Of the Win.
chester Convention:
Col. w. M. Coke of Knox County, the
opponent Of the Hon. Vim. q. Swan, the
present representative in Congress from
the I'd District, is the first reousant from
that Convention. lie was formerly Rep
resentative in Congress from East Ten
nessee. He served one term about two
years ago, since which time be has dis
appeared from the public horizon. Il
was understood at the beginning Of this
revolution that he was strongly In favor
Of Southern OOnfederacy. He is yet q
young man; he is the owner Of . large
property, and IL is yet 10 be learned In.
this community that be has ever con-
tributed anything TO the Southern cause
except words.
The next gentleman who appears on
the programme is Gen. J. O. Vaughn, Of
the Third Congressional District. This
| gentleman has been one Of the soldiers
of this war for whom we have entertain
| ed the highest regard. When he raised
the first regiment Of East Tennessee Vol
unteers for the Confederate service, and
led them TO Virginia, he met from us the
most ardent support. In regard 10 his
services in Virginia, in Tennessee and In
the defence of Vicksburg, have been
his friend and his advocate. But In the
present critical crisis Of our country, I
regard his services more important In
the field than in Congress therefore,
oppose the election.
The Hon. John Ii. Savage, q former
member of Congress from Middle Tennss-
see, and late Colonel In the Confederate
service, 81 present a private citizen, has
announced himself 4 candidate, In oppo-
sition 10 the Hon. II. y. FOOte.
Thsh comes Col. Louis j. Dupree Of
Memphis. AT the beginning OF this
war he was attached 10 the army 20 q
sub Lieutenant Of artillery, and went
from Memphis with Gen. Pillow and
Gen. McOown 10 Missouri. Tie was at
the battle OF Belmont Shortly sitter
wards, by i'll health he was removed 10
East Tennessee, and became Post Adju-
tant at Knoxville, in which capacity be
served for several months, at the end OF
which time he became She special Oor-
respondent OF the Knoxville RegisteT,
over the signature OF -. L." In an
nouncing himself a candidate, he puts
himself in OPPOSITION 10 the Hon. ID. M
Currip, who has been for the past two
years a faithful and true representa-
in the Confederate Congress, and q zeal
Gus friend of the South, and who was
nominated by the Winchester Conven-
ton as the proper man for reelection.
