the defeat and dispersion of his army, though all Lee's forces were with him. Upon this subject we speak from a thorough knowledge of the situation; and dared we publish the facts, the public would feel as much assured on that point as we do. General Grant left for the front night before last, and will be ready to personally superintend operations when commenced. A small detachment of National cavalry belonging to the forces in pursuit of General Longstreet, made a dash into Cocke County, Tenn., capturing twenty-seven wagons loaded with bacon and flour, and eighty-five prisoners. They reported that Longstreet was stripping the country of provisions and compelling Union families to leave — A very exciting debate occurred in the rebel Congress upon the act to increase the efficiency of the rebel army, by the employment of free negroes and slaves in certain capacities. Restrictions upon trade with Missouri and Kentucky, with some exceptions, were annulled and abrogated by

ntucky. He is represented as a desperate man, and in making the arrest he was shot by one of the Confederate party, but, we learn, not severely wounded. Considerable curiosity was manifested by the citizens on his arrival, everybody wanting to get a peep at the "mide." He was lodged in the city jail. The Tories of Bast Tennessee. From the Lynch burg Republican, of the 5th inst. we take the following: A letter from one of our subscribers, a colonel in the Confederate service, dated Russellville, Tenn., December 3, says the tories and bridge-burners have not all left East Tennessee yet. Since we drove them from the "Chimney Top Mountains," they have collected in Cocke and Hancock counties, where our citizen soldiers have made two unsuccessful attempts upon them. I hope, however, to get them to-day with my command, and will avail myself of the earliest moment to advise you as to the results. We hung two of the leading bridge-burners in Greenville Saturday evening.

ment throughout this country, especially among those who have friends and relatives, now languishing in prison on account of his teachings. Jas. Clark, of Cocke county, was yesterday bound over before his Honor, the Commissioner, to appear at the term of Confederate Court, in this city, on the 3d Monday, in December, and for East Tennesseeans, who have been arrested in the last few weeks by the military authorities. Among these prisoners was Samuel Pickens, State Senator from Greene, Cocke, Sevier, and Blount counties. Capt. Monsarrat, with a portion of Gen. Carroll's brigade, recently detailed against the tory force of Cocke county, returned laCocke county, returned last night, on the train from above, bringing 31 prisoners. Among them, we learn, several of the bridge-burners. They wee escorted to jail, and lodged there to await a trial. Later from Columbus — our gun-boats after the Federals--another capture, &c.

well calculated to mislead our authorities at Richmond, and to divert their attention from our true and real condition.--These authorities, in fact, have never believed we were in much danger in this region; at least they have so acted. Why Mr. Swan has made such, a statement I cannot conjecture. It is a great mistake. There is much disaffection in every county in East Tennessee. At this moment of writing our forces are probably engaged with a force of fifteen hundred Union men in Cocke county. We have cried peace, peace, when there is no peace. We have only received taunts in return. The infamous traitors have burnt our railroad bridges, and done everything in their power to invite and aid the invading foe in desecrating our soil. And yet we are still told there is no danger. May be our authorities will yet wake up to the true and real status of affairs in East Tennessee when a few more or our bridges are destroyed, and some more of our quiet citizens are butchered!

A private letter from Fort McRee says that on the 30th inst., a soldier named Crawford, a member of the Vicksburg Artillery, fell down the stairway, and was so severely injured that he died the next day. A soldier, by the name of Crawford, a member of the Vicksburg (Miss. Artillery, was severely injured by a fall, a few days ago, in Fort McRae, and died the next day. A friend, on hearing of the result of the election for Senators, said: Well, that will do very well. We have got a hill to kill 'em on, and tombs to bury 'em in.--Atlanta (Ga. ) Confederacy. Thirty-two traitors, captured in Cocke county, Tenn. arrived at Knoxville on the 8th inst.

ed by our cavalry on Sunday and chased six miles, strewing the road as they went with guns, blankets, and pistols, which our brave boys deliberately gathered up. Among the arms thrown away by these panic stricken Northerners, were several Colt's rifles. More Prisoners.--Capt. Phillips, with his company of cavalry, last night brought in from Hancock county several prisoners, among them one deserter, who had joined Dr. Byrd's company. Capt. Cocke also brought in several prisoners from Cocke county. John Black, of Anderson county, who has been in correspondence with the enemy, was also brought in yesterday by Capt. Clarke's company of Minute Men. Incendiarism in Haskins County.--A friend at Whitesburg writes us, Dec. 12th, that "last night Mr. Jances Headerick's and Mr. Barnard Headerick's barns and cribs were both burned by incendiaries. They both live about one mile south of St. Clair, Hawkins county. They are both Southern men and good citizens, and this destruction of t

e temporarily placed with the Second Kentucky Regiment, under Colonel Hanson. While with him, we made a dash into the country about sixty miles through rain and mud, which I assure you took the wire edge off the boys. We were sadly disappointed at not meeting the "Yanks." The expedition proved a kind of Chessa or swing-corner affair. You all may rest assured that we will whip them whenever we meet them, for there is no such word as fail in our lexicon. An old gentleman from Cocke county, Tennessee, with whom I enjoyed a long conversation, informs me that the Union element of East Tennessee has entirely disappeared, and the Government will have no further trouble with the traitors. The proclamation of Lead better has had the effect of crushing out the treason of that fertile and wealthy portion of the State. The recreants are hastening to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. To use the expression of the old gentleman, "they are falling over each other to take the

Resisting the Conscription act. --The Knoxville (Tenn,) Register, of Monday, has the following rumor: It is rumored, but not credited, that the militia Brigadier General Shields has organized an armed force, said to be two thousand strong, in Cocke county to resist the enforcement of the Conscript act. Col. Thomas, of the Confederate service, has sent here (so it is rumored on the streets) for additional troops, in order that he may enforce the law and disperse Shield's band of stories. We believe this story to be an exaggeration, but it was current and credited on yesterday afternoon.
