of the job. I am confident they cannot stand the odium attached to being "Lincoln's mail agents," as some of the appointees are known to the writer to be gentlemen.--Their only fault is that they have asked and received favor from a source that no Southern man should. On yesterday evening the flag of the Confederate States was hoisted in front of the locomotive attached to the mail train on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, which carried the news of the surrender of Fort Sumter. Col. R. L. Owen, the President of that road, and E. H. Gill, the General Superintendent, are strong friends and staunch advocates of Southern rights, and so far as I am informed their road has been the first to raise the Southern flag. The first one thrown to the breeze in this city was from an upper window in the Republican office; the next, by the student at the Lynchburg College on the cupalo of that building. One was also raised on Thursday last, by Messrs. Boyd & Co., in front of their store, ne

of Brownlow's Knoxville Whig is untrue. The old traitor is still publishing that infamous sheet and inculcating his vile teachings as heretofore. It is reported upon what is deemed reliable authority, that Bridges, who was elected, at the recent election in East Tennessee, a member of the United States Congress, has concluded to abide by the decision of his State, and is now raising, a company in his district to fight for the rights and independence of the South. A few days ago, Col. R. L. Owen, President of the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad, gave orders that all employees on that road should be required to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy.--Every officer and employee took the oath except two, who were discharged.--This example could do no great harm if followed by other railroad Presidents, as it serves to make every one show his colors.--The two who refused to take the oath claimed allegiance to European powers. The receipts of tobacco are quite h

Expeditious work. Allusion has already been made by one of our contemporaries to the possibly unexampled energy and promptness with which the Virginia and Tennessee railroad has been repaired and put in running order after the extensive injuries done to it by the Yankee raids. Colonel R. L. Owen, the President of the company, has laid the company and the public under obligation for the successful manner in which he has directed the affairs of the road in the trying emergency. The following is a more detailed statement than we have yet given of the repairs alluded to above: There have been in the past year six different raids, destroying the greater part of the bridges and depots on the road — those of May and June burning all the depots but three between Lynchburg and Wytheville, (one hundred and thirty-five miles）, and burning all the bridges from Lynchburg to Salern, together with those between Dublin and Christiansburg. The total length of bridges destroyed was upwards
