Louisville it was the object of our adventurer to make his way through to Chattanooga; but here again he was detected and obliged to take a new track to throw the Lincoln spies off the scent. Finally, at St. Louis, he found himself in security. The feud between the conservatives and the radicals there is exceedingly bitter, and the conservatives court the secessionists, in hopes of their assistance to crush their opponents. The consequence is that the authority and even the orders of Gen. Schofield are utterly disregarded, and everybody says and does pretty much what he pleases. Captain G. felt himself perfectly secure from espionage; went about freely in public, and on one occasion dined at the Planters' Hotel at the same table with Gen. Herron, whose fellow-passenger he had been from New Orleans to New York. Here he took passage for New Orleans, but here our narrative of his adventures must conclude, his trip down the river and his sojourn of a month in New Orleans being forbid

rners, who had sold all their property at a great sacrifice in order to leave the Confederacy by the steamers which were regularly advertised to leave that port for Nassau and Havana. I can state from my personal observation that vessels are constantly arriving here, ostensibly from New York, with cargoes which are immediately reshipped on notorious blockade runners. How these vessels escaped custom-house surveillance is a mystery which the proper officers in your city alone can solve. Miscellaneous. There is nothing of importance from the army of the Potomac. Gen. Schofield, with his staff, has left for Knoxville, where he is to take command. Dr. Mackenzie, a well known citizen of Baltimore, died last week. There are now in construction in the United States twenty-five armored vessels at a cost of $365,000 each. They are to be done in six months. It is stated that the army of the Potomac, like Gen. Lee's army, is to be reorganized in three corps.

s a magnificent exhibition of military strategy on both sides. Gloomy State of affairs in East Tennessee. The New York World, of the 7th, says: Our Nashville correspondence represents that affairs are in a sad condition in East Tennessee. --Longstreet has had his own way in that section, and has succeeded in foraging upon the most productive portion of the State, and this, too, while the troops at Knoxville have been compelled to endure the privation of limited rations. General Schofield has taken command, and hopes are entertained that a change for the better will be the immediate result. The late raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad--loss over a million dollars. A letter from Cumberland, Md., dated the 8th inst., says: On the 29th ult, a large wagon train was captured between New Creek and Petersburg; but this disaster caused very little excitement in town; but on the 2d inst, this raid culminated.

From East Tennessee. New Market, Feb. 17. --The Knoxville Whig, of the 18th, has been received. It contains little news of interest. It is hoped Schofield will bring order out of the confusion in military affairs in that department. Flour is selling at $30 per barrel, and corn meal at $8 per bushel. There is great destitution, particularly among the poorer classes. Weather quite cold to-day.
tain roads. He could not advance with deficient transportation; but he could have done more than he has done. If Longstreet could move consistently, Foster could have done so; and that he did not, will not conduce much to his merits as a military commander. It is true that in the engagement at Fair Garden on the 27th ult., that portion of his command under Gen. Sturgis did signal service. But I cannot see that Gen. Foster is entitled to credit for an accident. The new commander, Gen. Schofield, has taken the reins, and it is hoped that he will infuse into the army some of that Western energy so essential to that command. He is Gen. Grant's choice, and will doubtless fulfill all that can reasonably be expected of him. There is one thing in his favor, and that is, that he is fresh from the field where his conduct has been such as to make him enemies, which it is desirable that he should punish. He has now an opportunity, not only to win the right to wear the double stars, but
East Tennessee. --Our last Tennessee exchanges seem to be confident that an engagement cannot be long delayed between the forces of Long street and Schofield. The Yankees have advanced to Russellville to force, and are running the cars from Knoxville as far East as Morristown. A skirmish between the enemy's cavalry and our own, took place at Whitesburg, 22 miles below Greenville, on Tuesday, in which we are reported to have lost eight killed. The Yankee loss is not stated. Stirring times are hourly looked for.

Schofield's last move in East Tennessee. --A letter from Gen. Longstreet's army, dated the 10th ult., gives the following account of the Yankee's last forward move from Knoxville: Gen. Schofield, the present commander of the Federal forces in this department has advanced with his entire effective force as far as Panther Springs and Morristown. From some cause he halted and went into camp, there remained for some thirty six hours, when he about faced and returned to Mossy Cleek and Gen. Schofield, the present commander of the Federal forces in this department has advanced with his entire effective force as far as Panther Springs and Morristown. From some cause he halted and went into camp, there remained for some thirty six hours, when he about faced and returned to Mossy Cleek and New Market. He came with fifteen days rations and evidently intended a further advance than where he came to; but suddenly coming up with the forces of General Longstreet he came to a terminus of his expedition, and does not seem inclined to move any further. His forces consist of three corps of infantry and a small amount of cavalry. Aside from this move there are no demonstrations whatever on the part of the enemy. In the direction of Cumberland Gap. all is quiet Gen. Jones continues to p

The 47th Indiana had left, etc." The Red river expedition had gone up as far as Natchitoches, sixty miles above Alexandria, and had captured four hundred prisoners, four cannon, etc. Deserters arriving at Knoxville report that all of Gen. Longstreet's baggage had been sent back to Richmond, and that his whole force was under marching orders. It is reported that a large force of rebels is concentrating at Pound Gap, under Buckner, for a raid into Kentucky. Gen. Grant and Gen Meade had been to Fortress Monroe to confer with Gen. Butler.
