From the Athens Post,
The Louisville Journal.

A copy of the Louisville Journal OF the 23d
ultimo. has been placed upon our table by a
friend. Among other memdacious articles is
a letter dated "Danville, Ky, August 20,
lsGl.'' from which we take the following
precious extract:
ssTtpo Hundred Tennessee Refitgees.-Two hum
dred and odd Union refugees arrived here
Yesterday, escaping from East Tennessee,
leaving their families and property behind.
They consisted of gray-haired men down to
the stripping boy. Their condition was
enough to move heart of stone, and to ex-
cite the Indignation OF freemen. In addresses
made by two of their leading men, Capt.
Staples and Col Bolls, they stated that the
English language afforded no words sufficient
iy strong to describe the Outrages perpetrat-
ed upon the Union men of East Tennessee.
Over three hundred more are expected here
to-day or tomorrow"
A more vile and Infamous batch of lies
never appeared in the same-space. No Union
men in East Tennessee have been molested
that we have heard of, either in their persons
or property-at least none who were engaged
in their lawful and legitimate pursuits.
None have been driven from their homes
either by threats or violence, and of all who
have gone to Kentucky, every one left OF his
own free accord. They went there at their
own instigation and the instigation of worse
men than themselves who they left behind
them-not to escape persecution at home, but
to procure arms and to join and return with
such forces as they supposed were ready to
come and destroy the lives and property of
their friends and neighbors. Now, that is
just exactly what Refugees" lett East Ten
nessee for-nothing else. But on reaching
Kentucky and not finding the Lincolnites on
that side of the line quite SO ready to invade
East Tennessee as they expected, they make
a merit of necessity and announce that they
were forced to fee for their livesi If the Ken
tuckians have not degenerated, as soon as
they learn the facts they will kick the last
one CT them out OF their State. They are I'M
posters, and deserve to be treated as such
not because they are what are called Union
men, but for the unmitigated lies they are
telling to account for their appearance in Ken
lucky, where. after all, it seems, nobody was
very anxious to see them. As for Bolls and
Staples who have been misleading the simple
minded men of the mountain counties, and
who are at such loss for adequate language
to express themselves "a body would think
soil even they were not interrupted, although
we think it likely they ought to have been.
Talk about the Secessionists incorporating
The devil himself would stand no chance
with the Lincolnitesl In regarc to the Louis
vjlJe Journal, there are some operators in
that line in this State, but they are an i'm
measurable distance behind the Lincoln or
gan in Kentucky.

CAIRO, Sept 2, 1861
The camps at Birds Point and at Cairo
have, within the last four days, been receiv-
ing large additions to their forces. aud the
whole effective force may be set down at If
teen thousand men. ef ~
The gun boat expedition did not start un-
til Saturday morning at three O'Clock.
i embarked early on Friday evening. At
the time mentioned. the Tylor. Commodore
Rodgers, and the Lexington, Capt. Stem
tel, hauled in their anchors, and moved
rapidly down the Mississippi. Colonel Wag.
Ger, chief of artillery at Cairo, accompa-
MED us. 80
A little before daylight we reached Co
lumbus. KY, twenty-five miles below, in the
meantime closely scanning the shores by a
bright moonlight, and with decks cleared
the guns loaded with round shot, shell, can
mister, and grape, expecting every moment
to be fired into. But the reported battery
either above or below Columbus, was not
found.
We ran down to Hickman, As miles below
Cairo, and some six miles below. but met
with no hostile demonstrations. On coming
back we found that the Secessionists after
we had passed had run up Secession nag
on a tall pole on the levee apparently in de-
fiance of the gun-bOats. A wbarf-boat heaV-
nails, coffee, &C., laid close to shore. The
gallant Commodore and Col. Wagner ehafed
round nervously eager to land aud haul down
the Rebel flag, and seize the contraDand
goods, but they were under strict orders not
to touch Kentucky soil unless attacked.
At the point below Columbus. on the Mis-
souri, side, several mouated men were seen
scouting around.
Commodore Rodgers thinking that bat
terry might be concealed there. pitched in a
sixty-four pound shell, which exploded most
beautifully, but no fire was returned.
At Columbus, on passing up, Secession
flag was seen on pole on the levee. A short
distance above couple of rife shots were
fired at us from the Missouri side, but did
not reach.
The Charley Bowen, from Evansville,
came in yesterday. She did not land a.
Paducah, but anchored out in the stream,
and sent out and received her passengers by
tow. Her rifled cannon is kept constant
ly loaded and manned. and would be an
ugly customer if the Rebels should draw
her fire.
Gen. Prentiss is reported at Bloomfield,
Mo-, about 25 miles back of Birds Point,
and is rapidly marching on Pillows forces
at New Madrid. 1t is rumored here tonight
that the gun-boats with a large force of in.
iantry will be dispatched to cut off Pillows
retreat An engagement is hourly expected
between Prentiss and Hardee, though Har-
dee is said to be falling back rapidly on Pill
low. Gen. Prentiss has an effective force of
from 900 to Is 900 men, well drilled and
in excellent discipline.

LfncoIn,s Man Friday.

ANDY JOHNSON delivered one of his eharac-
teristic harangues at Cincinnati few days
since, which was marked by the usually dis
tinguishing features of everything emanating
from him, to-wit: INSCRIPTIONS falsehOOd,
foul treason and bombastic egotism. No
better locality could have been selected for
the utterance of such infamous sentiments
than Cincinnati, for be there addressed q
people whose bitter malignity and rancorous
hate toward the South were scarcely less
manifest than his own.
In abiding to the position of the Hon.
THos. A. r. NELSON, who recently pledged
himself to be loyal to the government under
which he lives, he is SO astounded at it as to
refuse to give credence to the rumor. "If it
were my Case" adds the traitor, with assum-
ed courage and mock indignation, 81 do not
hesitate to say that rather than make such a
recantation, would be screwed down in my
iron coffin and buried in the earth feet fore
most" Valorous ANDY to talk so bravely
when surrounded by your Black Republican
comrades, and when SO far removed from the
seat of danger.
But listen still further: "My intention"

store to Tennessee her former rights unim-
paired. intend to be with that people, and
stand by them through the rain and the heat,
with toll and with the sword, until, if needs
be, | have poured out the last drop of my
blood willing libation upon the altar of my
country's liberty"
This man, wac is now in Kentucky, doubt
less, on a reasonable mission from the enc
mics ot his country, ought to be closely watch

his co-conspirators in this State.-IHemphis

MUssoN's HILL, in sight Washington City,

MUssoN's HILL, in sight Washington City, !
August 81, 1861.
Dear Registr:-AgreeBble to my promise
to you yesterday. / now write you line
from within full view of Washington City,
Alexandria and all the encampments of Lin
coln's army this side of the Potomac. Since
| wrote you last nothing has transpired on a
large scale. We have had several skirmishes
with their pickets;-in skirmish this morn
ing, we killed two and took three prisoners.
We have now finished our Notifications on
Munson's Hill, also on Mason's Hill, and we
will commence Notifications tomorrow on
Upton's Hill, which will give us three strong
positions-some two miles apart, in plain
view OF Washington city, which we can hold
against 40, 900 Vandals with Is 900 Southern
will-be freemen. We have been here since
the morning of the 2sth. We have been on
picket duty and at work in the entreIch-
ments all the time; but the East Tennessee
boys can stand anything.
Col. Kemper's Regiment of Virginia vol
unteers has been relieved To-Day by Col.
Preston's regiment. We prefer remaining iu
front until blow is struck; but think we
will be relieved against our own will. All
our baggage is back at Fairfax Station. If
we are ordered back, we will have to go, but
will hate ii very much.
IL O'CLOCK, A. NJ, 3lst.
l have just been ordered to send Lieuten-
ant Col. Reese, with half of our regiment,
three miles off to our left which will be one
mile nearer Arlington Heights, on the North
side of the Alexandria and Leesburg pike
road. / sent companies A, B, c, d and
L. / shall listen to hear of some hot work
over between our pickets; but all their pick
cts and whole regiments are withdra wing
near the Potomac.
A "good one" came off late last evening.
They brought their balloon within three
miles of our hill and raised it in plain view,
to take good look at US. Capt. Dawser, of
the Washington Artillery, took one OF his
cannon (some half dozen of US mounted, ac-
companied him) to within about two miles
of the balloon. He took two shots at 1t, and
you never saw such scattering among the
troops that had il in charge. They got it
down and away soon. 1t was only just above
the tops of the timber; so don't think it
will be raised in our reach soon again.
am glad to say to you that Mrs. Colonel
Stuart, Mrs. Mag. Morgan, Mrs. Capt McEl-
rath and Mrs. Vaughn, have all been here
TODAY. and took fine view from within our
entertainments, of Washington, Alexandria,
their camps, &c. They saw several shots ex-
changed by the pickeis on both sides, who
are all in plain view of US. Our entrench-
ments are surrounded by cleared fields, and
in front of us to Baiiy's Cross Roads. some fl
teen hundred yards. 1t was quite interesting
to the ladies. Mrs. Vaughn walked down
the road with me some distance towards our
pickets. when shot was fred, which caused
her to advance no further.
/ must close, but viii write again soon, as
know our friends will be anxious to hear
from u.s. 0''' T. Icy G. VAUGHN.

Correspondence of the Columbus Sun.
Interesting from Pensacola.

PENSACOLA, August 80, 1S61.-Martial law
is being put in force. To-day instructions
were given to the bar-room keepers to sell no
liquor to the soldiers.
The vessel fred at by the Lincolnites, men,
toned in my last, was lacking and came too
her.
There was quite an excitement at the
Yard on Wednesday afternoon. Orders were
given a few days ago, by Gen. Bragg to
Capt. Lowell, of the Harbor Police, to raise
the Dry Dock, lately sunk in the channel and
take it to some point out of harms way. Ac-
cordingly Capt. Lowell proceeded to perform
the duty assigned him. While engaged in
att achng hawser to The Dock, whiz came a
ball from the battery near Pickens. which
fell a short distance from his boat near the
stern OF the gunboat VIM. III. Judah. This
rather surpris, the party; but they contin-
ued their work.
While attaching another hawser to the
Dock, the Lincoln hirelings sent she'll fly
ing over towards them, which passed over
the head OF one of his men. Nothing daunted,
Capt Lowell gave orders to his men to look
out, and determining to accomplish the Sc
curing OF the hawser, before quitting work,
1t being about shutdown, be sill continued.
Having finished, he left the Dock aud came
over to the Yard. That night he received
orders to cease for the present, the work
the Dry Dock. Various are the remarks and
expressions Of the soldiers and ciiiz ms or
the subject. No retaliating shot having been
fired from our side, conjectures are rife. Cen
eral Bragg has his orders from President Da-
Wis, and he cannot do anything without au-
thority. If President Davis has ordered him
not to open the fight here, he cannot do 1t.
Many blame Gen. Bragg, but the authorities
at Richmond are the ones to be censured.
1t is shame that we should be neglected
here.
Various reports are in circulation here
Among them is one that Gen. Bragg has been
ordered TO the Potomac A statement to
that effect notice in several papers. l do
not think there is much truth in it. although
l believe Gen. Bragg would prefer going
where he will be allowed To fight. Some
say that the troops here now are 10 be trans
terred to Missouri, and new raw ones will
take their places, and that this station will
be made school of instruction, as there Is TO
be no attack made on Pickens.
Gen. Anderson, of South Carolina, arrived
here last night aud went down to the Yard
this morning. This officer being ordered
here, has confirmed the belief of many that
Gen. Brsgg is to be superseded by him; but
Gen. Anderson ia likely to take the place of
Gen. Walker, lately ordered to Virginia-
This post having three Brigades is entitled
to three Brigadier Generals. Gems. Bragg
aud Anderson are here, and Gen. Ruggses. of
Georgia, is expected.
The soldier (RobinsoE) who was sentenced
to be shot, to-day, for sleeping on his post,
was pardoned on Wednesday last. am
glad to hear it.
