agr, cd that such is the least profitable mode
of agriculture. If the term slavery was
pressed into service ea an additional reproach
to us, wo answer that, we regie’, whilst we
are unable to remedy au evil forced upon u-
Agstnat our will, by arbitrary power, and that
to show the sincerity of this regret by our en
mity to the system of hierarchy patronage
and public diet, for making elaves of freemen.
Figures which tell'truth, demonstrate mathe
matically that this system of indirect slavery
extorts from tho laboring people of England
far greater profit than direct slavery has ever
produced to Virginia or even West India mas
ters. • ' .
If your people are both industrious and
poor, some such onuses probably .open upon
them as have forced anomalous moral charac
ter upon the laboring people of England.—
But in foot the poverty you insinuate is nei
ther to be. found in the exact division of the
national debt in the slate of oommerce, in im
proved cr useful edifices, or ia.lhe wraith and
luxury of individuals.
A Boston nabob, it is said,' is able to ex
pend in a single entertainment a year’s in
come of a good Virginia farmer. As the
cause lo which yon ascribe the. malignancy
you charge ns with does not exist, it follows
that tho effect does neither exist.
Consider, sir, the oonacquenccs of academi
cal institutions, which leaoh looal prejudices,
State enmities, and individual hatred. What
will become of the Union and national happi
ness, if errors calculated to arm Stats against
State with the most deadly moral weapons, are
inculcated by seal, rendered doubly danger
ous by 'credulity. In one sentiment we agreo.
Thattt would be extremely injudicious in me
to send a sou in search of instruction to one
who believes him to be a wretoh destitute of
morals, industry amd religion, when the last
of snob prejudices suffice to plant the dagger
of a barrister in the heart of a great prince.
I am, jrith das consideration, sir, yonr most
obedient servant. J. T.

ELECTION AND RESIGNATION
point These are hop.-fol views with the reasons for
them.
We have bad news by telegraph from Richmond,
and the papers of that place also state positively that
official information had been received by the President
from Gen. Johnston, that K*rhy Smith's'forces were in
possession ol Milikeo's Band. Yankee telegrams have
also stated very nearly the same thing. If this be to,
and if he can hold it, it gives high grounds for hope —
If Smith and Price can take and hold all the opposite
shore, from Milliken'fl Bend down to New Carthage,
they can relieve the garrison at Vick* bnrg, by sending
them food .across the river. They cun also cut off cf-
fcciua'ly, all reinforeemen.lt anti supplies for Grant.—
Bat can Smith ami I rice hold the opposite shore, even
if they have it? We fear they cannot, and that the
Yankees by land and Hic'r gonbou*s in the river. In a
combined fttfack^ can dislolge them. We suppose that
M IlikeuV Bend, Tuung’s Point, and New Carthage, are
not fortiHe I. If not, there is no chance now to erect
fortifications; and the latter two are incapable of being
fortified owing to their want of elevation. We don’t
count much on help from the opposite shore.
The main question then again recurs, and the answer
will b.* found in the answer to this question : Cm Hen.
Johnston raise the »eige? Can he attack Grant sue*
ccjtefuWy and drive him out of his fortifications? Can
ho either drive him out of Mississippi cr capture hi.*
whole army? These are the important questions,
upon which the whole depends. We confeis our ina
biUty to answer them satisfactorily ; and while we
have strong hopes from the reasons above stated, it is
due to candor to say, as we have heretofore said on
several occasions, that Vicksburg is in a critical condi
tion: and we shall nit be surprised if we hear of its
Wednesday's Fight tm Tennessee.

The Raid on Unoxvtlls.
The Register, extra of Sunday, 21st, give*
the following :
APPROACH I F THE BNEHT, AND POSITION Ot
TROOPS. .
Night before lost tho Yankees came in Ihe
neighborhood of our town. There was picket
firiog and skirmishing nearly nil night within
a mile or two of town. A little after 7 o'clo,k
yesterday morning they made their appear
ance in sight of town, on the Tazewell road,
with the manifest intention, if they ceald,'. of
destroying tho Railroad depots. Ab Boon as
they came in range, one of our batteries', on
the -Ifili this side of the East. Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad Depot opened upon them.—
They first replied with Beveral volleys of min-
nie halls, after whioh, having got their artil-
cry into position they commenced firing shot
and shell. Another one of our batteries soon
commenced firing from' the hill nearly oppo
site tbe East Tennessee end Virginia Railroad
D ipot, and in a very short time another bat
tery was placed in position and opened upon
them, on the high hill in East Knoxville.—
Each of our three batteries consisted of two
guns
Tho battery on the hill opposite the East
Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Depot was
slightly protooted by a shallow ditch and a
fow cotton balsa. The other two batteries
had no artificial protoation whatever.
The enemy had two pieees of artillery—
and about six hundred infantry and a hundred
aavuiry only were ia sight at one time.-—
There are various estimates of their whole
uumlxir. A gentleman who hod the best op
portunity to see all of them as they remsiaed
at his house below town some considerable
time, informs us they had three thousand
men. Most persons estimate their number at
two ihousand.
The firing of the batteries was kept up be-
weon one and two hours quite briskly. A
considerable number of shell fell in the town,
hut very few exploded, and little or no injury
was done to any of tho buildings. We heard
of no person being strupk in town except one,
citizen by a spent minnie ball which barely
left its mark. At tho batteries we unler •
stand we had ia all seven wounded—five of
them mortally.
We are altogether unable to say what was
the enemy’s loss. We have heard it variously
estimated at from five to thirty. Among
them is said to be one Colonel.
THB FEDERAL FOKOE.
The enemy’s force* were commanded by Col.
Win. P. Sanders, an aid ot Gen. Burnside. It
consisted of ihe 1st East Tennessee regiment;
112th Illinois, 1st Kentucky,. 44th, 2d snd7ih
Ohio regiments.
THT CONFEDERATE FOKOE.
Our forces were commanded by Col. Trigg,
and consisted of the 6th and 7th Florida, seme
detailed men from tbe Quartermaster's and
Commissary Departments/ and a .large number
of citizens.
Very soon alter the enemy were repulsed and
had retired! considerable reinforcements arrived
from Loudon and other points.
GALLANT CONDUCT or A OEOROIA BATTERY,
The Register of the 24lh says:
In our accounts of tbe defense of Knoxville
from the Yankee raiders, we uninlenBionally
omitted to notice the daring conduct of. and
efficient service rendered by Copt. Wyly’a
Georgia battery. This battery is composed
principally of young men from Atlanta, Ga., and
s attached to Major Leyden’s Battalion. On
Friday they had mode a forced march from this
city, over rough roads, to Island Ford, a dis*
tanCe of 25 miles. Here a courier overtook the
Battalion with a requisition for a battery to re>
turn to Knoxville. Wyly’sbattery was selected
aud, jaded and fatigued as were both men and
horses, they retraced their steps with inch ..ex
pedition as toreacb the vicinity of the city by
seven o’clock. Saturday morning. Here they
tonnd a large force of cavalry and infantry
drawn up inline of battle between them and the
city. Several officers iu the rear politely saluted
the battery with their awbrds,and Cspt.-Wyly-
was-nt n leas to know whether they were, friends
or foes. In bis emergency, a young man of hio
company drew a white handkerchief, and rode
boldly «p to the officers mentioned, sndsscer.
tsined that they were the raiders. ilJpon com
municating tbe fact to (he Captain, bo immedi
ately placed his guns in position, and issued or
ders as if for attack. This threw tho enemy’s
lines into momentary confusion, taking advan
tage of which the gun's were timbered and. thp
. sttery dashed through them and reached the
city in Bafely, notwithstanding they were fired
upon by'oar pickets, whomistonk them, ia their
headlong, entree, for the enemy. This feat hu
been pronounced by. experienced military men
to be one among tbe most daring, skillful and
successful of the war. •
On reaching the cito and reporting to the
Chief of Artillery, the battery was immediately
assigned a position, and. commenced action,
firing the first and last gun of the engagement,
snd sustaining ihe principal part of tbe loss that
resulted. The following are the casualties:
Corn’l Thoa. Caldwell, mortally wounded—
since dead.
Briv. W R. Hodaon, supposed mortally wound
ed—leg shot off.
Priv. Rob’t Fariow, wounded in let! arm by a
minio ball.
Priv. Turnidge, wounded in the foot by a
minie ball.
Atter tbe battle, the Yankee commander'sent
his respects to Captain Wyly, by n paroled pris
oner, with . the complimentary remark that his
battery had done the best firing he ever saw'.
- AU honor to gallant Captain Wyly and his
brave men. The citizens of Koxvillc owe him
s debt of gratitude that cannot eaeily'be can
celled.

Dr. Baker’s house is about tea miles below
Knoxville, on the main Western road. On
Friday slternoon laet he told his wife and family
he could do no good staying st home, and he-
ISssauul ba wtnnld >AnM tin tO tOWII WuPM
i- his FSrii'when i Yankee
in the house but her hatband, and if they would
cease firing he would surrender—they continued
tiring snd Doctor Baker came to the window
once or twice and told: them there was no man
ia the house but himself, and if they would
eeaSe firing; he woold sirrender. Bat whenever
he presented himself at: tho window, they fired
on him, and be returned the fire with his pistol.
In a few minutes a number of them broke
open the lower doors sod entered the house,
and commenced firing through tho ceiling luto
the room where Dr. Baker and his family were.
They then went up tne stairway and demand
ed that the men should come out nnd surren
der. Mrs. Baker came out and told them
there was no man in the honse exeept Dr.
Baker, nnd if they wraid not lire upon him he
would come out, Tksy ordered bar to go away
from the door or they would shoot her.' Dr.
Baker than pulled his wife in the room nnd
threw tho door open. They fired upon him
with their guns nnd he returned Ihe fire with
his pistols. The Yankees present having ex
hausted their ammui ition, threw their guns
with fixed bayonets at htm—he throwing
the guns back at them. A number «f Yankee
reinforcements then came up with loaded guns'
and fired a volley at him, inflicting two mor
tal woun Is. Dr. B. said to his wife, “They
have killed mo,” and fell; his wife, in endeav
“ring to support him, fell with him. The
Yankees then entered the room—one of them
who had no bayonet on his gun, jobbed him
in the mouth with tha muzzle of his gun—
another run hb bayonet through his cheek—
another struck him on the head—one ruffian
pushed Mrs. Baker aside from her husband
with his bayonet.
Dr. Baker asked to be turned on his side,
and asked for water. After he drank, ho ob
served to the crowd of- Yankees around him
that they were a cowardly set of scoundrels, so
many of them to assault and murder ono man.
Two of the Yankeei were dangerously if net
mortally wounded. They wont on to tho next
house and had tbeir wounds dressed, nod said
Dr. Baker was tbe g'tmcsl man they oversaw.
Dr. Baker was one of the earliest of our
citizens to espouse the onuso of the South,
and was an rrdent motasionist from the be
ginning. Wo have no doubt some renegade
tory from East Tenuosses had given the Yan
kee* full information about Dr. Baker's sen
timents snd his activity in the cause of the
South, and that they intruded to seitj upou
some pretence to murder him.

The Knoxville Register of the 24th publishes
the following items:
Mr. Editor:—In your notice of Capt. Wyly
this morning, you do injustice tp the Summit
Battery. The first and last gun was fired uy the
Summit Batiory, aud it was in the meat exposed
position of nil others. It was here that Mc-
Clnng was killed, and received unflinchingly
the main fire ot the enemy.
Don't suppose that I detract from Capt. Wyly.
I do not. Ho covered himself all over with glee
ry, and he and his men deserve all praise. Na
poleon never performed more promptly and gal'-'
iantly any military, movemont than did this
chivalrous officer act in a most critical emergen
cy, bringing empty guns through the enemy's
lines.
I aaw all of which I write. CITIZEN.
^SuThe Yankees remarked at Strawberry
Plains that they did not know cnrininlv lhat
they bad hilled any-person in East Tennessee
except Dr. Harvey Baker. They said they ex
pected to be captured before they got out o’ 'he
county, but thought they had paroled as ■■to:,*
prisoners as they had men, and therefore if tHh'y
were captered they would soon be txchang J for
tho game number of our men they had captured
and paroled.
The Surgeon who hid in charge a
wounded Federal officer (bince dead) iu ibis
vicinity, dropped n letter written from Lex
ington June 7th, in which it is said that Burn-
ai4s has left Kentuoky for Washington with*
his forces. This motewefrr is oautied by the
demonstration of our forces against Pennsyl
vania. . The letter should bo closely scru
tinized.
SaS‘ We learn from a citizen who was in
Ihe fight at Strawberry Plains, that we had
but eighty effective men there belonging to
the array; that some of Ihe persons from the
hospital who were siok eatno out and fought
os long os they could. The enemy, it is
thought, had .from- fifteen hundred to two
thousand men at this plaoe. They entirely
surrounded the village. Our aitillery-men'
fought very gallantly, but eighty men were
not able to contend against fifteen hundred or
two thousand. The enemy paroled ono hun
dred and thirty prisoners, including the sick
at the hospital, Among those deserving hon
orable mention are Capt il K Scott and Dr
Hamilton, tbe former from Kentucky and the
latter from South Carolina.
ESCAPE OF 'i HE YANKEE RAIDERS.
The Register of the 25th rays:
A courier arrived in Ibia city yesterday morn-
log, bringing information that the Yankee raid-
era were safe across the mountains. They were
so closely pnrsned by Col. Scott, that they burn
ed their artillery carriages, and'left tbo cannn,
and nearly all their baggege, but lost hut few
prisoners. They crossed on the evening ol the
22d, at Childcr’s Gap. Captain Scott was killed
in a skirmish on Powell’s river.

The Yankeo raiders cut the telegraph wires

Flat Creek and other small bridges between this
and Strawberry- Plaint. The stole several

A. C ARD.
n*ving ia n recent notice on the subject of LOCAL
DSFEKSK end SPECIAL SERVICE, published that I
had been "cutrouted by the Secretary of War with au
thority to raise and organic a force for the defense of
XTppcr Georgia acnin«i the invasions of the enemy,**
and invoking the citizen* to enroll themselves at ouce
into companies, and to aend riio their master rolls to
be fortrat ded.to the Secretary of War, I find in a pro
clamation jnftt issued hy ihe Governor of Georgia,
hon-ing date the 93d June instant, the following para
graph : *
< *The President, however, having called on me to or
ganise' the troops who volunteer, under the acts of Con
gress. io this State, has thought proper to say, through
the Secretary of War, that ho places the execution of
tho ’organisation entirety nndcr my supervision and
control. For the purpose of maintaining order and sys
tem tn thn mganimion. and that I may know when the
fill! number required has been raised, it becomes ne
cessary that all companies, battalions and regimen's
which have lately organised and tendered to the Presi
dent or to any Confederate officer for local th tense in
this State, as well as hereafter to be orgbuiced, report
to mo witheut delay.” .
Now, if the Maieinent? above referred to as made re
spectively by myself and by Ilia Excellency the Gover
nor, are each entitled to credit, then it is obvious, that
the Secretary^of War has placed us in couflict by eon-
forring the same authority and imposing the same duty
upon two separate and distinct agents. Justice to the
Secretary of U'ar demands that he be relieved from the
commis."ion of such a blunder. A bri*. f and simple
statement will accomplish that object.
That the Secretary of War in the powers committed
to G«*ver or Rrown in the organization of this force
for local defeuse, never intended to wrest from me sim
ilar authority previously, conferred, 1 have simply to
refer to the lUHtrumcnt itself under which the Gover
nor claims .the power, and in which i have the best
reason to know, th*exception is ecrpresslyraade by the
Secretary, aud Hia Excellency duly advised that author- .
it.v to rata and organise a force for local defense
in Georgia had already been entrusted to another and
would rot now be revoked.
With this explanation and having before me at this
this mrme.nt the original authority of the Secretary, as
well as hia written instruction, which after several con
ferences on the f object, he himself t laced in my hands;
I feeUconfideni that the misconception as to author
ity rests not w‘4h ino. and I therefore repeat and earn
estly reiterate the call previously made and requett, as
I cannot ‘•require,”*11 tuch organization* as “well
those heretofore' formed As those hereafter to be form
ed to report immediately,” (nof) “to tbe Adjutant and
Inspector General of this Slate,” but to me and I will
promptly forward their musior rolls, to the Secretary,
of War.
But a« the Governor of Georgia in the latter part of
hia Proclamation has thought proper toinvitet-e “cor
dial co-operation and assistance on the part of all Con
federate officers in the State, at harmonv between the
State and Confedera'e officers is essential to success in
tbe prompt formation of the organisation required by
the President,” and especially aa I have no other inter
est in this movement than a sincere desiro to do all in
uiy power to defend my native .State against the incur
sions of the enemy; m order therefore that there may
be no fon'flict <tetweon the Governor’s agents nod my
self in our mutual efforts to effect the same object 1
here make the announcement that the portions of
Georgia which I proposed to the Secretary of War
more particularly to endeavor to protect, was that part
of the territory of the Stale embraced by the Woutern
Sc AllanUe, and Rome Railroads, extending from Atlan
ta to the Tennessee and Alabama lines, and that It is
only the citizens of that section or who msy by railway
facilities be brought to defend that section, of whom 1
K ctto forward organizations
rward me therefore your muster rolls promptly to
Carters ville.
