September 4. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, in a letter to the chairman of the Syracuse (N. Y.) Conventions, held this language: These peace meetings, with us, and, I presume, everywhere, are mere soft words for treason, and we shall so treat them. I am gratified to find you still at your post, and have not caught the Bull Run panic, which has done some mischief in Kentucky. I am on guard all the time, and ready for action. If the rebels dare make a war upon us, we will sweep them clear, and that rapidly. We are wide awake, and defy their malice as much as we scorn their blustering. The Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws, must be kept aloft everywhere, and all mere party platforms trampled under foot.

September 4. Knoxville, Tenn., was occupied by the National forces under Major-General Burnside. The East-Tennesseeans were so glad to see the Union soldiers that they cooked every thing they had, and gave it to them freely, not asking pay, and apparently not thinking of it. Women stood by the roadside with pails of water, and displayed Union flags. The wonder was, where all the Stars and Stripes came from. Knoxville was radiant with flags. At a point on the road from Kingston to Knoxville sixty women and girls stood by the road-side waving Union flags and shouting: Hurrah for the Union. Old ladies rushed out of their houses, and wanted to see General Burnside and shake hands with him, and cried: Welcome, welcome, General Burnside! welcome to East-Tennessee! --(Doc. 168.)
