and does not in any way impugn his courage or capacity. A letter to the Atlanta Register, giving an account of the recent fighting between Longstreet and the enemy, says: Longstreet's advance, consisting of Major-Gen. Martin's cavalry, met the enemy near Mooresburg. After a spirited engagement the enemy gave back in the direction of Bean's Station. Near that place they made a desperate stand, in some force, consisting of mounted infantry and artillery, and some cavalry. Brig.-Gen. Gracie was then ordered forward with his brigade of infantry to rout the enemy. This was done in magnificent style. The enemy gave way in confusion in the direction of Rutledge. He lost thirty men killed and one hundred wounded. He was slightly wounded himself in the elbow. In the meantime the enemy had placed one regiment of infantry and a small squad of cavalry in the Gap, north of Bean's Station, to prevent any movements on their flank.

Her hills and valleys will be, but an arsenal and depot for the concentration of arms, munitions of war, and soldiers. Having once completed the Kentucky and Knoxville railroad, and gathered in these supplies, all the combined armies of the Confederacy can't drive them out. They can then move with impunity into Western Virginia to the rear of Lee's army, move across into North Carolina, and cut our communication East and West, or they can have a strong garrison in East Tennessee, move down, connect with the armies of the West, and force our armies on Atlanta and Augusta. Let us yield no more territory to the enemy. It is a suicidal policy. Territory has been yielded in East Tennessee sufficient to furnish supplies annually to an army of 40,000 men. We hope for a brighter day for this fated country, and bide time for the result.

ld as hostages for the safe return of Southern men to Camp Chase. Some have come back cured of their trip. Bushwhackers are here by the thousand--more numerous than ever. Green and Carter counties are invested with this class to a great extent. Dangerous to travel alone in those counties. They will have to be hunted down like wolves before soldiers or citizens can go into the country with any degree of safety. The same policy must be enforced that was adopted in the counties of Monroe, McMinn, and Bradly. Extermination is the order. A man who follows this hellish practice against a people struggling for the independence of their country ought not to be treated in accordance with the usage of civilized nations. One cause of this boldness arises from the encouragement given them by Burnside, such as furnishing them arms, &c. About four or five days ago a squad of our men, ten or twelve in number, captured a lot of Yankee clothing, and were in the act of draping themselves i
