ARRIVAL OF PRIsoNERs.--SoHe forty prisoners,
of Cliff Is traitor band, from Hamilton, Rhea and
Meigs, including Lieut.. Colonel and Commissary,
were brought up the train last night, in charge
of Lieut.. O. s. Kennedy, of the 10 Alabama regi-
ment and marched through our sire us to the jail,
where they were safely lodged to await an exam
ination before the Confederate Commissioner. A
number of arms were taken in their possession.
Their condition, criminal as they are; excited the
commisseration of our citizens, and ia the crowd
that accompanied them to their dismal quarters,
we heard but one expression of Indignation against
the unteeling and unscrupaloss denlagugues who
deluded them into their present condition, and

SEWER COuETY.-In our article OF Sunday, in,
relation to the disclaimer Of the Messrs Coldwen
we made an error in their names. DR.. a. A. Cold.
well, and 6. II. Coldwell, Esq, both well known.
and influential citizens OF Sewer county, the
| gentlemen who called upon US. They have re-
| turned home and are using their best eXertions,
as we learn, to undeceve the Union people of their.
| section. AS an earnest Of their ef7rts, we may
state that large number of arms have. been VOL
unfairly given up by the Sewer men, in addition
to those which have been surrendered to the mili-
| tary. We learn that about three hundred guns,
from SEWER have already been delivered at Straw
berry Plains, and the work is still going on. 5 ~
DAN IREwHITTs Mass sAGE,-Dan Trewhitt,t 1.-The,
4 traitor, has written over half bashe Of letters
from time to time from Kentucky, TO the rebellion
lists Of this country, urging them to prompt, de-
cisive, energetic action He tells them that he
will come to their assistance, and with an addi-
tonal force of 400 men, he can take or reduce
Chattanooga, the stronghold Of corruption" to
ashes. (Of course we knew that Dan will not be
| in command, as he is the most pusanimons, cow
ardly traitor in Lincoln's army) The last message
from his Danship Gas we are inforrned) was TO one
| Col. Cliff, of this county, who is now marching
with about 800 or 1000 men (perhaps raore) to
jamestown, to join the Lincoln forces as per Trew
hits arrangement. Col. Cliff left under the i'm,
preston that all the bridges had been burned on
| the railroad between Chattanooga and Bristol It
appears, however, that the movement in East Ten
| nessee was rather premature. Dan (olr DAM still
progresses in his work of entrappng those deluded
creatures whom he has SO long misled. The last
step taken may prove to them the most fatal. So
mote it be. Chattanooga Gaz. and Adv, Nov. ii.
