Condition of East Tennessee.

--The Memphis Avalanche publishes a very interesting letter from East Tennessee, from which we make the following extract:

‘ The rebellion here is only suppressed, it is not completely crushed. The smouldering fires kindled by Brownlow, Johnson and Maynard, may burst forth at any time. The moment the troops are withdrawn, the flames of the revolution will be re-kindled, in every valley and on every mountain-side — in the gorges of the Cumberland mountains, in the secluded valleys, beside the bright and sparkling streams that come leaping down lofty crage and precipices, dwells the huntsman of East Tennessee.

He has never read a newspaper besides Brownlow's. He has never heard a speech except from Johnson, Maynard, Taylor, Neison, or Brownlow. He has been told by his newspaper to read nothing, to listen to nothing but the productions of the Unionista. It is to be regretted that there is no possible means of giving correct information to this people. Nothing is wanting to make them Southern soldiers, if they could be informed of the recent acts and declarations of the Federal Government.

We have to-day cheering news from Carter and Johnson counties. N. G. Taylor has been silenced by the acts of the Federal Administration, and taken the oath of allegiance. Two companies have been enlisted in Johnson and one in Carter county. A brother of Nelson is here a soldier in the ranks. Many new companies have been organized throughout this portion of the State, but as yet it is impossible to equip them.
