The East Tennessee Traitors.

There is, says the Memphis Appeal, a regiment
or portion of a regiment of fugitive East Tennes
scans at Camp Dick Robinson, in kentucky, who
have been armed ard clothed b. Lincoln, and who
propose TO turn to male var upon their former
neighbors and friends
Respecting them correspondent of Cincin-
natl paper, writing from camp, says:
At o'clock the roll of the First Tennessee
Regiment was gone through with and its organiza-
ton being completed, they received their arms and
other equipments They had beer previously sup
Piled by the Government with clothing. of which
most Of the men stood sadly III need-havinr left
their homes in haste and wholly without changes.
They are uniformed in blue wooen pants, OF com
mon cloth, and thick gray Shirts with stout shoes.
There was great qualification anfested at getting
Uncle Sans mushets on their shoulders, and some
Of the brave boys remarked that since the Govern
ment would Mt come to them they had come to the
Government, at the risk of their lives, for arms.
Some of the young and single men are cutie will
ling to remain and assist in defending L entucky or
serving anywhere that the Government NAV call
them But the great ma iority of them have set
their hearts upon going back fully armed for the
redemption OF East Tennessee. Cumberland Gap
is held by force OF only about six hundred rebels
and the plan of the loyasts is to dslodge them
from the Kentucky side, which they can DO with
good battery OF artillery. planted on a higher
POINT, and within the range Of a mile. At the same
tine it is their scheme to scatter through the
mountains two Or three hundred OF their sharp
shooters. and pick oil the rebel scouts. All they
ask is few hundred rifles of any approved pat
tern, and supply Of minnie bullet moulds with
plenty Of powder They are all trained and prac.
tceG riitemen, and ask nothing but 10 cover their
man at from %G0 to 800 yards, and he infaL Ly
drops, with no further waste Of powder. One
thousand rlen could take Cumberland Gap from
the rebels, and hold it against ten thousand.

The Erley Advertiser of the 4th instant, has tie
following:
Tippah has now eleven full companies in the
field; besides a great number oi our countrymen
have joined COMPANIES in the adjoining counties in
this State and Tennessee. We don't suppose we
would Le far wrong in putting down the full num-
ber of men now in service from this county ut
thirteen hundred. And this is not all-therc are
other companies formed and forming, that are
anxious to go into active service.
The Lexington Advertiser of the 9th says:
Owing to the long wet spell which we have had
we regret to learn that cotton has suffered severely
and the tlatterng~ prospects of many of our farm
ers have been entirely destroyed.
The Brandon Republican of Saturday last says:
We hear q great deal Of complaint from our
planting friends. The long-continued and heavy
rains have caused the cotton to shed and rot con-
siderably, and in many places the corn is growing
in the ear.

negress. Her clothes were Immediately enyeIoped
in flames, and before assistance could reach her
she was burned so frightfully that she is not ex-

reason for so foul an act except that she was nst
gated by others to kill her mistress in order to
get possessina of her money. She was escorted
to a limb in the woods on Tuesday morning, where
she was hung by the neck till she was dead.

THE Fifth Louisiana Regiment.


EAHF GROVE WHARF, Va }, August 30, 1861.
Mr. Edit0r-Under the impression that some ac-
count Of the doings of the Fifth Regiment here
might not prove uninterestng to your readers |
Sit down to pen this communication.
We are pleasantly camped on James river about
ten miles below jamestown, with plenty of good
water, and the best OF fodder generally speaking
add to that, also, the speedy prospect Of a brush
with old Wool, and you cannot image, if you were
witness to it, that there were more Jolly or CON
tented set o. fellows either North or South than
the boys composing the Fifth Regiment Louisiana
Volunteers.
We have had, it is true, some sickness in our
camp, but glance at our mortuary report will
convince you that we have been luc ier than any
other regiment, believe, in the service of the
Confederate States. Our Chaplain has had to per-
form three burial services only over menbers of
our battalion, so we certainly cannot complain
about the unheathness of the troops.
If there is anything we do complain of and
grumbo about, ii is the inactivity we are obliged
to submit to. In fact, the enHUi is dreadful after
being in the field for upwards of four months. To
say that we have not, though in front of the enc
my, really smelt gunpowder yet, is disheartening
There is every probability of a little fun on the
peninsula before many days, however; and if the
nghung Fifth does not sustain the name and fame
OF Louisiana whenever the struggle comes, then
you may couple the name Of Louisianian with
traitor. R. j. FLYNN.

In Washington there is great restlessness and
anxiety. Professor Lowe makes an ascension in
his monster balloon every afternoon, and is ques-
toned as closely by Lincoln concerning Beaure-
gard as was sister Anne by the trembling spouse
Of Blue Beard Of the dreaded approach of that
monster. On Saturday last, just as the Professor
was preparing to go up, some Of our boys got

eighteen hundred teet-blazed away, sending their
projectile so uncomforaby near him that he
dropped down-ke the skyark or William in the
