er enough to make accomplishment reasonably certain. It is rumored that he has forty thousand or fifty thousand men. If he has half so many, readers will assent that his demonstration is sufficiently formidable, and admonishes the country that the next campaign in Western Virginia will not be a trifling expedition. No intelligent military man apprehends defeat of our army; but it is within the range of possibility, and it should be guarded against by every possible precaution. What would be the consequence of our defeat? Overthrow of the Western Virginia Provisional Government; exile of the Union citizens and confiscation of their property, or the conversion of indifferent into rebels; the capture and destruction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Northwestern Virginia Railroads, which are so important to us; the capture of our vast army supplies, which are so necessary for the rebels; and the defeat of any enterprise the Government may contemplate in reference to East Tennessee.

East Tennessee.the ball opened — change of sentiment — arrest of another Trailer — resources and magnificent future for Tennessee.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Knoxville, Tenn., Aug.has passed her ranges of mountains, render East Tennessee quite an important district of country, an overwhelming defeat of Southern rights, and Tennessee fell back into the arms of Lincoln and his aion from the Federal Government, and at once Tennessee military fire was aroused. An election for has now been adopted by 75,000 majority, and Tennessee thus stands square up to her brethren of thein her were it not for the disaffection of East Tennessee.

idently believed that his change will tend to re-unite East Tennessee with the South. In my last, I stated that Bridgesn yesterday, and is now under guard in this city. East Tennessee is a thousand times more interested in this movement, cy than any other portion of the State. In Middle and West Tennessee the chief dependence of the citizens is in agriculturaextent to render them remunerative to the farmer. But East Tennessee, in addition to the increasing value of her valleys fo of wealth there would for centuries to come have kept East Tennessee from any compensating rivalry, and not then, until thewith as much ease, be done at the mines at Dutchtown. East Tennessee, then has a bright future before her in the establishmothing to lose from being in the Southern Confederacy. East Tennessee has been called the Switzerland of America. That namee are contending for in the South. I know that abroad East Tennessee has a bad name, on account of her attempted revolt. B

State, is cheering indeed, and will give great encouragement to our brave soldiers in this State, and inspire them with confidence and spur them on to new deeds of valor, so that we need fear no defeat. The reported suspension 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

ditors of the Dispatch.--Our cent election shows a large Southers gain in the State. I think the enormous bill has produced a great many changes, but sincerely believe that a large majority of the people of the State are willing that their property should be sacrificed at public sale, in der to enable them to pay the tax; and I there is a large majority in the State who take up arms against the South if they forced to take sides in this unholy Christian county, a county bordering on Tennessee, has a regiment of eleven hundred armed by the Lincoln Government, a many of them natives of Virginia; those are not native-born Virginians acknowledge their ancestors to be. Yet those men say they are ready to aid the Government in during this "rebellion" (as they pronounce) in the seceded States, and some of them ture so far as to say that they would every man, woman and child slaughter the South, that the Laws and the Condition that the usurper Lincoln has so violated may be e

the first occasion of their drill they were informed by their commanding officer that ten per cent, of the white population was required to be represented in the field before the county could be exempted from the liability of a draft; one hundred was then wanting to complete that number, and unless they were speedily furnished the militia would be called out en masse. Under these circumstances many stepped forward and volunteered their services in the defence of their country; and I believe the quota of Botetourt, amounting to upwards of eight hundred, has been, or will be, furnished in a few days. Several companies belonging to Floyd's Brigade have passed through on their way to the Northwest, and also a troop from Tennessee who intended to join Gen. Wise at the White Sulphur. They were all fine looking men, and will doubtless afford material aid in driving the base minions of Lincoln from the sacred soil which they have polluted with their footsteps. Sharp-Shooter.

razier's regiment, which led the march of Holmes's brigade to reinforce the left, through a heavy fire for a mile and a half, and running in front of the foe, when they were ordered not to fire, answering each discharge of Walker's artillery, which they supported with cheers, which the enemy compared to the war-whoop of savages, the State, by your papers here, has even been denied her share in the glory of Manassas. The Northern reports of the battle of Spring field mention Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, and Cherokee half-breeds, but, as all our friends here, even the ladies at the Exchange remark, make no mention of Arkansas. Now, your correspondent well knows, and states on his personal responsibility, that McCulloch's command contained previous to the 21st of July, with the exception of one regiment from Louisiana, (the noble 3d,) Arkansas troops alone, and that he had with him just previous to the march towards Springfield one regiment of well-armed cavalry, under

East Tennessee. --We publish this morning two interesting letters from a prominent citizen of Tennessee. It is stated by the writer that Mr. Bridges, one of the Lincoln candidates for Congress, has been arrested, and that Maynard alone, of the interesting trio, succeeded in reaching Washington. The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Gazette seems quite hopeful of the conversion of Mr. Bridges, who "asserts that he will not fight against his own State or the people of the South, but is willing to draw hing two interesting letters from a prominent citizen of Tennessee.
