h the will and the power to develop. I, therefore, appeal to the patriotic women of Tennessee to set about the work at once, of manufacturing all the jeans, linseys, socks, blankets, comforts, and all other articles which will contribute to the relief, health, and comfort of the soldier in the field. In connection herewith, I beg leave also to call your attention to the communication addressed to me by the Assistant Surgeon-General of the Confederate States, hereto appended. I cannot too earnestly urge upon you the importance of an early and generous response to the call thus made upon you. Let an agent be appointed in each county to receive and forward all articles to such points as the necessities of our troops may require. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed, at the department in Nashville on this 23d day of August, A. D. 1861. [L. S.] Isham G. Harris. By the Governor: J. E. R. Ray, Secretary of State.

he Confederate authorities have determined upon my arrest, and I am to be indicted before the Grand Jury of the Confederate Court, which commenced its session in Nashville on Monday last. I would have awaited the indictment and arrest before announcing the remarkable event to the world, but, as I only publish a weekly paper, my hurried removal to Nashville would deprive me of the privilege of saying to my subscribers what is alike due to myself and them. I have the fact of my indictment and consequent arrest, having been agreed upon for this week, from distinguished citizens, legislators, and lawyers at Nashville of both parties. Gentlemen of high positioNashville of both parties. Gentlemen of high position and members of the secession party say that the indictment will be made because of some treasonable articles in late numbers of the Whig. I have reproduced those two treasonable articles on the first page of this issue, that the unbiased people may read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the treason. They relate to the culpable

Doc. 144 1/2. Gov. Harris' proclamation, calling for fire-arms. Executive Department, Nashville, Nov. 2, 1861. The State must, and to the full extent of its resources shall, be defended. Threatened with invasion, all good citizens will regard it as a patriotic duty to make any reasonable sacrifices to repel the invaders. Regiments are now in camp and organized, while others are ready to organize, but, for want of arms, are not prepared to take the field. Prompted by the noblest he clerk of the county court of their respective counties, or to such other agents as I may send to the various counties, every effective double-barrel shot-gun and sporting rifle which they may have, to be immediately shipped to the arsenal at Nashville, Knoxville, or Memphis, where the same will be valued by a competent ordnance officer, and the value paid to the owner by the Confederate Government. I urge you to give me your aid in the important work of arming our troops, with which we ca

5. extortion at the South. The Southern (Ga.) Confederacy of Nov. 9th, publishes the following on this subject: Some time ago we published an extract from the Message of the Governor of Tennessee upon the extortions which have of late been introduced by those who have at heart their own interests more than the good of their fellow-mortals and of the country. A few days ago Mr. Jones presented to the Tennessee Legislature the proceedings of a meeting of a portion of the citizens of Nashville, in regard to the extortions now practised, at which the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the Legislature of the State of Tennessee be requested to pass some law that will prevent the ruinous prices now sought to be placed upon the staples of life, even if it shall be necessary to place the same in the hands of the military authorities. Resolved, That we recommend that by law a tax be levied upon every gallon of spirituous liquors distilled from wheat, corn, rye, or

large portion of Tennessee, will join us in the march. Union men will hail with delight their deliverance from the pressure of an intolerable despotism, and if we are true to ourselves and them, the spring will open upon a reunited people. Ten days more can be allowed for the completion of regiments now forming in camps. Within that time much may be done, and by the 25th of November, Ohio contribute, at least, thirty-five thousand more of her soldiers to the grand column en route for Nashville and New Orleans. To the accomplishment of this great object, the instant, earnest, and combined efforts of officers, committees, and patriotic citizens, are most urgently invoked. Companies are now more valuable than regiments will be in the spring, if the rebellion is allowed to survive the winter. Now, when the rebel confederacy seems to be staggering, is the time to strike, and the blows being vigorously followed up, the victory will be ours, and the stars upon our banner once more

Doc. 177. proclamation of Gov. Harris. Executive Headquarters, Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 19, 1861. To the Officers in command of the Militia of the State of Tennessee in the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions: The danger of invasion upon the part of the Federal forces is imminent. This invasion threatens the quiet and security of your homes, and involves the security of your sacred rights of person and property. The warning example of Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky bids you, if you would preserve your firesides, your homes, and the sanctity of your wives and daughters, to meet the despotic invader and his minions at the threshold of your State and drive him back. Let the soil of Tennessee be preserved from his unhallowed touch, and let him know that in defence of our liberties and our altars every Tennesseean is ready to yield up his life. General A. S. Johnston, commanding the forces of the Confederate States in this department, in view of this threatened danger, has calle
