TO the Voters of Union County,

FELLOW CITIZENS: I candidate for your suf-
frages at the ensuing election for Sheriff in the
County of Union. My connection with the army how
ever, has for months removed me from that fam
liar with you that would generally be de-
sirable But, trusting that l may have due allow
ance for this seeming inconvenience, with a view to
repeated expressions of desire that should become
a candidate have consented to do so-though under
vastly different circumstances from those which sur
rounded four years ago. Many of you have realized
the hards!ips Of and the dangers of battle but
without recalling the past let look hopefully the
future and permit me, in grateful acknowledgements
of the yors received at your hands then, with many
others previous TO that time, to ask your cordial sup
port If elected will what industry and
ability possess fulfill the obligations of the Office
in such as, hope, may ever be satisfactory
to you. On the contrary, if j am not elected shall
consider that you have Gone wrong and that
have right to criticse because your suffrages
against me. But am fully sensible of the distinction
conferred by being elected to the position for which
candidate, and shall be proud to receive your
shall be earnest and faithful prove
myself worthy of the responsible trust imposed by the
And, in conclusion, allow me to hope you will
remember your friend, and on the day of election
ticket for the same. w. H. COLLINS,

BRITISH OPINION.

The correspondent of the London Times, 10
speaking OF a recent conversation with President
Davis, says 81 could not but think of my part
ing conversation, few hours before, with Presi-
dent Davis of his calm, weghty analysis of the
comparative strength Of the belligerents about to
close in a fourth and deathlier grapple of his
quiet, earnest confidence, his kindling eye. Were
it not that remember that the deifed Washing
ton surrounded earth by detractors and
vilifers-that on his right hand stood Charles
Lee, fomenting by anonymous addresses discord
among the American troops, and on bis left Jeffer-
son, lending his great powers to secret defamation
OF his cbiet-l should search for special attributes
In the Southerners to account for the fact that,
although almost unanimous against the Yankees,
they lack wisdom virtue enough to appreciate
