The Mississippians Adverse to Fighting.
Correspondence OF the Knoxville Register.
MERIDIAN. Miss June 2, 1858.
The proclamations Of Governor Pettus and General
Johnston, urging the people Of Mississippi to take
up arms, @ add out nie strength 10 the Southern armies.
BY agency the people inclined TO misconceve
the possible results OF revolution in which with unpar
aeed ZEAL they embarked their lives and fortunes An
invasion Of their State not anticipated. They
believed that Kentucky and Tennessee would furnish all
the battle fields to become memorable through all time
and that the actual presence Of invading armies
wholly impossible They succomb to unforeseen circum
stances while the courage of Tennessee has risen with
increased pressure and magnitude The very barbarites
practced by Rosecrans have augmented our armies.
Thus will it be here when the people have recovered
from the shock which has temporarily paraIyzed their
energies. few counties will respond nobly the call
for volunteers. The whole militia force will move to
Jackson but from al indications mil be found impossible
No feature OF the legislation Of Congress has opera

enactment which enables to furnish substitutes

effects Of the measure every where apparent Men
who have secured substitutes by heavy expenditures

happens that most OF those who have sold their
vices desert soon they reach the army Richmond
bought sold The subjects Of these bargains In
most instances join our army with the original purpose
in the field but convey oil conceivable information our
enemies. The number Of substitutes employed by the
citizens Of Mississippi enormous and the effect OF the
has Law proven that many Of the ocers refuse "a
receive substitutes in their commands, and seems T.
matter Of necessity Its effects upon the army NO,
worse than these developed here among the people.
