The reported surrender of Burnside. The reports from East Tennessee are very cheering, "if true," They state that Gen. Longstreet attacked Burnside in his outer line of defences at Knoxville, on Sunday, and drove him to his inner works at the point of the bayonet, killing and wounding large numbers of his men, and on Monday mBurnside in his outer line of defences at Knoxville, on Sunday, and drove him to his inner works at the point of the bayonet, killing and wounding large numbers of his men, and on Monday morning the attack was about to be renewed, when Burnside, finding himself surrounded on all sides, proposed negotiations for a surrender; that the former were finally agreed upon, and the "hero of Fredericksburg," and five thousand of his men, laid down their arms. As nothing of this kind has reached the War Department, we are coBurnside, finding himself surrounded on all sides, proposed negotiations for a surrender; that the former were finally agreed upon, and the "hero of Fredericksburg," and five thousand of his men, laid down their arms. As nothing of this kind has reached the War Department, we are compelled to put little faith in the pretty picture that is drawn by reliable gentlemen. The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, publishes a letter from a soldier in Longstreet's corps, written on Thursday last, giving a short account of the fight at Campbell's Station on the previous day. The enemy, he states, were badly beaten

problem while the two armies confront each other intact. A correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy, writing on the 20th, says: I notice in the few papers that now and then reach this elevated region that some despondency is felt by those at a distance concerning the situation of the campaign which extends itself along this great river. Will you believe me sincere when I say that I never felt more hopeful? I believe we shall winter around Nashville. If Gen. Longstreet gobbles Burnside, as I think he will, Grant must retreat from Chattanooga. And as sure as we get him moved we will keep him moving. The prospect is very cheerful. A large army, an animated spirit, a programme well arranged, nothing but extraordinary bad luck will foil our plans. It is true that we need Forrest. It is true that we shall miss Polk. It is true that Gen. Lee would inspire a deeper confidence. But it is equally true that things are not so bad as they seem, and that General Hardee's presen

cessity for a further judicial investigation," beg leave to report that, after a full and patient investigation, the committee are unanimously of the opinion that the charge is not sustained by the evidence, and recommend that no further action should be had in the case of Rev. P. W. Archer. [Signed by all of the committee.] The report was unanimously agreed to by the Conference, and his character passed. The Committee on Memories reported through Dr. Doggett on the deal of Rev. D. W. Chariton, who died in Petersburg in February, 1863, in the 68th year of his age. Dr. Smith, from the committee to whom was referred the memorial favorite M. P. Church, submitted a report, recommending so further action at present, owing to the peculiar state of the country, except a further interchange of fraternal feelings and messengers; and, on motion, Revs. J. A. Duncan and Dr. Rosser were appointed fraternal messengers to the next session of the Conference of the M. P. Church. T

Destructive fire. --Between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock yesterday, dense volumes of smoke were seen to proceed from the sweat house of Messrs. Jones & Childrey's large store and tobacco factory, on the north side of Main street, a few doors west of 17th street, and it being evident to the employees of the building that some of the tobacco casings had taken fire from the furnace used for heating that room, messengers were dispatched to the engine house for assistance. In an incredibly sparatus, were at the scene, and forcing one of the doors, poured in their streams of water upon the burning mass, thus checking the spread of the flames to other portions of the establishment, and finally extinguishing them. We learn from Mr. Childrey that the stock on hand, in the sweat room alone, and which was then being prepared for European markets, was worth to the firm at least $150,000, the greater portion of which will probably be seriously damaged by fire and smoke, and the vast v

No. Alarm. --Notwithstanding the close proximity to the first station-house of Messrs. Jones & Childrey's store, which was partially burned yesterday, the alarm bell was not sounded to call together the firemen until after one or two companies had reached the scene of conflagration with their machines, and had put streams of water upon the fire. A fireman reports that he went to the station-house to have the bell rung, but finding the door locked and no one present to admit him, he procured a ladder, entered a window, and rang the bell. At a meeting of the City Council some few weeks since Mr. Scott made an effort to secure the appointment of officers to attend the station-houses at all hours of the day, but was defeated. Surely the Council will now see the importance of having these officers, and will appoint them. The city has no place where a policeman can be found at all hours, however urgent the necessity; nor has it any guard at the station houses to prevent prison

Cowies, expressed high gratification at the report, which exceeded their highest expectations. Wm. Willis, Jr., and Robert J.

one of the ablesmen in that State. The Atlanta Register names the following facts about him: He stood at the head of a body of jurisconsults famed for their attainments, who, many year ago, made Holly Springs, by the attractions they contributed to social life, the most delightful interior city of the South. Mr. Watson has been distinguished, not less than his more noisy compeers, for his firm devotion to the cause of Southern independence. He was appointed last year by the President Commissioner for Mississippi under the Appraisement Act, and has sedulously devoted himself to the duties of his position. He is tall, slender, with blue eyes, light hair, and with an expression of face, benignant manner, and musical voice, remarkably attractive in social intercourse. In his professional habits he was the most laborious of men, and his success at the bar was brilliant. Not many months ago Judge Watson was arrested by a hand of marauding Federal cavalry and taken to Pocahontas,
