material should be effectually destroyed beforehand. What advantage, then could result from the destruction of the city? None whatever, and the citizens of Savannah will be the first to defend their homes from wanton, ruthless destruction, from whatsoever source it may come. This has been ascribed to General Walker frequently, but I am not aware that the General ever expressed any such opinion. The discussion in Congress relative to the removal of Sidney Johnson from the command in Tennessee, does not find favor here, thought the President may succumb to the violence of the opposition. It has been suggested that the President could relieve Gen. Johnson from the cloud of sand-flies that now annoy him; he could save his friend; he could make many new supporters of his Administration; he could take advantage of the present ardor of the South, and change the whole aspect in the West by taking the field in person. I believe such a movement would be of incalculable service to the

Affairs in Tennessee. --The army correspondent of the Savannah Republican, in a recent letter from Memphis, says: The new line taken up by Gen. Johnston has none of the weakness of the old position. It is not penetrated by the Tennessee or any other navigable river, and therefore our lines cannot be cut in two, and thevacuate Bowling Green and Columbus. This ought to satisfy the clamor against Gen. Johnston. But I still think it would be well for the President to come to Tennessee. The people in the Valley of the Mississippi have great confidence in his capacity as a military leader, and would flock to his standard by thousands. They have already responded with cheering enthusiasm to the call of Beauregard. In a little time there will be a real army in Tennessee, so far as numbers are concerned; and they come with the resolution to drive the invader into the Ohio, or to mark every mile along the bank of the father of waters with their bleaching bones.

East Tennessee. The enemy ought not to be permitted to retain a foothold in East Tennessee. It is the most important strategic point in the Confederacy. We can well afford to give up places on the seaboard, but East Tennessee is a horse of a East Tennessee. It is the most important strategic point in the Confederacy. We can well afford to give up places on the seaboard, but East Tennessee is a horse of a different color. It is about time that we should awake to the necessity of preserving such sections as East Tennessee and Southwestern Virginia. We have called attention to it long ago and often. We hope it is not yet too late. East Tennessee is a horse of a different color.

Confederate Congress.first session. Senate. Tuesday, March 18, 1862. The Senate transacted very little business in open session yesterday. The House bill establishing certain post-offices and post-routes in Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, and Mississippi, was reported back favorably from the Committee of Post-Offices and Post Roads, and passed. The Judiciary Committee, through Mr. Hill, of Georgia, reported back the bill of Mr. Phelan, for the prohibition of cotton planting during the year 1862, with recommendation that it do not pass.--The report was concurred in. The Senate refused to concur in the House amendments to the bill fixing the salaries of members of Congress. The vote signified a determination of Senators to insist on the $3,000 per annum clause.

Mr. Foote opposed the recommendation of the committee, and hoped the bill would be taken up and considered at once. He thought it important that the bill should pass. He had learned that within the past three weeks large amounts of tobacco had been permitted to go out of the Confederate States. Mr. Garnett stated that the committee were nearly unanimous in their report, and he believed when the bill came up, it would elicit a long debate, and he therefore hoped the gentleman from Tennessee would not urge its immediate consideration to-day. He hoped he would permit it to go upon the calendar, or name some future day for its consideration. Mr. Foote thought that it could not occupy much time, as it could be demonstrated that contracts are in process of being made in every State of the Confederacy for cotton and tobacco, and this bill was one to prevent the carrying out these contracts. He urged upon the House the importance of taking up and disposing of the bill. M

The enemy in East Tennessee.Advancing upon Knoxville. Savannah, March 18. --A gentleman just arrived this morning from East Tennessee states positively that the enemy have crossed the Cumberland Mountains at Wheeler's Gap, and are now at Jacksboro', about forty miles from Knoxville. The country, however, renders it difficult for them to advance, and it is thought not improbable that the whole force of the enemy will be captured. The reported capture of two of our cavalry companies isy in East Tennessee.Advancing upon Knoxville.
