four or five Thousand strong. A guard of 40
Marylanders, from Cumberland, under Capt.
BesIey, are stationed there with one piece OF
Artillery. As the rebels advanced, they
poured shot into them, moving them down
like grass, and continued to do so till the
gunners were all killed. The brave little
band were cut to pieces, only two escaping
Such are the reports that reach us, which
are probably exaggerated. The rebels suf-

ANDREW JOHNSON, the traitor, of Tennes-
attempt to betray Tennessee into the hands of
the enemy, has recently passed through Ken
lucky, and we blush to say that men living
on Kentucky soil have taken his polluted
hand and welcomed him to their homes.
His object at Washington, whittier he is
bound, Is to procure arms to be sent to his
tools in East Tennessee, who are to stir up
the flames of civil war in that State.
This object is one at which humanity re-
volts; it is not sanctioned by the rules which
govern war between civilized nations; it is
found only in the code of the savage; it looks
to the burning of houses, the murder of in
nocents-to robbery, pillage, and unrestrain-
ed violence; it tends to barbarism, and the
man who advises it, and the Administration
who approves it, by that act make themselves
ire hooters and outlaws.
We understand that he advised bis LINCOLN
friends to see that Cumberland Gap be kept
open for the benefit of the Administration,
the inference being that the guns he has gone
for are to be sent 10 East Tennessee by that
route.
It is possible for men to be honestly mis-
taken about matters that are really too plain
to admit of a reasonable doubt; but Mr..
JOHNSON has sold himself for gold, has sold
hImself for consideration, as Judas sold his
master; he is traitor cold blooded and de-
hberate; and those who greet him warmly,
and take him 20 their bosoms should know
that be would sell them TOO should occasion
offer.-L0u. Crf

Conciliatory Action of the Legisla-
lature.


The following preamble and resolution
which had been adopted unanimously by the
Senate, was taken up in the House Thursday
and adopted by vote of 46 yeas to nays
WHEREAS. The people of Tennessee by a
large majority have dissolved all further poll
tical relstiOns with the government Of The
United States, and trusting, as we do, to the
patriotism and loyalty of those who cast
their votes against such separation. that they
will submit to the decision and abide the for
tunes of their State therefore,
Resolced BY The Ge1aerdL Assenabky of the STATE
of Tennessee That We, the members of the
General Assembly, do earnestly appeal to
the good citiZ-ns of the State to unite as one
man against e common euemy that We shall
continue to trust TO their love of country, and
of their homes, rather than to stringent meas
ures Of legislation, and therefore, that in our
Judgment neither new enactments for the
punishment of treason. nor the passage OF
test oaths TO insure pledge of loyalty from
the citizens are the remedies to be at present
applied, but rather continued reliance up
on the patriotism and intelligence of the
masses OF the people of Tennessee.
We trust that this conciliatory spirit will
be properly appreciated by those'who OPP
posed the separation of our State from the
Union, and exert salutary influence upon
their future action.

Knoxville Daily Register of the 10th.
LYNCHBURG, June 10.
On Monday evening twelve thousand of
our army, under Gen. Johnston, were within
three miles of fifteen thousand Federal SOL
diers near Winchester, and battle is thought
inevitable.
On Monday evening, Gen. Gregg, of the
first South Carolina regiment, with a
accommodating party, consisting of a
part OF his regiment, two guns, and
and two horse companies, met at Vienna on
Loudon and Hampshire Railroad, train
bearing the fifth Ohio regiment, under Col
McCook. The Federal troops were fired
upon, and at the first fire six cars were de-
tached, when the enemy fed, leaving six kill
ed and one wounded. The enemy. in their
retreat fired at our troops, but did no dam
age.
Troops from Manassas Junction occupy a
point within three miles of Alexandria, and
lively times are expected there soon. All
eyes, however, are turned to the Northwest
as the place for the first great battle.

The GreeueyiIIe Convention.

The following despatch to the Knoxville
REGISTER Contains the latest information we
have respecting the East Tennessee Union
Convention
GREENEyILLE, Tenn, June 10.
The adjourned East Tennessee Convention
is still in session.
The Committee have reported set of res
Oiutions in favor of the Independence of East
Tennessee.
The fret resolution is under discussion
There il strong division of opinion and
much dissatisfaction. No result.
Our previous advices had led US to think
that the msjority of the Committee would re-
port against insurrectionary action. The re-
port OF the Committee is, therefore, unexpect-
ed. We doubt not, however, that the Union
men who favor acquiescence in the determi-
nation OF the State as expressed by the vote
on the 9Th inst, will eventually triumph, il
not In the Convention, before the people, the
masses of whom are patriotic and cannot be
dragooned into the support of the reasonable
schemes of those who wish TO lead them into
8 conflict with the authorities of the State.

The Law OF Clothing I'm Regard to
Volunteers Received into the Con-

The Law OF Clothing I'm Regard TO
Volunteers Received into the Con-
federate Service.
Much misunderstanding. says the Mont
gomery Advertiser, seems to exist among the
volunteer forces called into the Confederate
service, in relation to the subject of clothes
and clothing, and yet the law of Congress
controlling the question is quite clear and
admits of no two constructions. Many vol
unteer companies, and battalions and regi-
ments, entered the Confederate service with
the idea that the War Department would sup
ply all deficiencies in clothing among them,
and would moreover be prepared with future
supplies to meet the accruing wants of the
soldiers; and, consequently, are suffering in
this respect, because of the want of proper
information in the beginning, which their Of
icers and the State authorities should have
given. The law of Congress, as set forth In
the act to provide for the public defense,
reads as follows, to-wit:
Said volunteers shall furnish their own
clothes. When called into active service and
while remaining therein, instead of clothing,
every non-eommissioned officer and private
in any company shall be entitled to money,
in sum equal to the cost of clothing of
non-commissioned officer or private in the
regular army of the Confederate States.
by this law volunteers provide, at all
times, their own clothing, and receive there
for Communication in money" and in the pas
sage of this law, Congress evidently had in
view those public exigencies that required
large forces to be thrown into the field while
yet the Government was in its infancy and
stood provided with no regular Quarter-Mas-
ter organization.
We have been thus explicit because it is
highly desirable the matter should be tho
roughly understood, as well among those
troops already in service as those who are
daily expecting to be called into service
And we think it would be well for the news
paper press generally to set forth, as we have
done, the subject in the light of the law and
reason of the law.

that our friends have turned loose to the

They have the stars and bars, but are not all
so arranged az to compose circle. On the
contrary, some of them have star 10 the
center, as in The flag placed on our Court
House, last week; and some have q circle
composed Of seven STARS only, to represent
the original seeding States, and the remain.
ing four are placed inside OF the circle. Un-
