The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1861-09-27

For the first time since we have been
engaged in publishing a paper at this
place, now thirteen years, we have visited
Blount county on professional business
We certainly have cause to be gratifed
with our visit, and with the substantial
evidences of the esteem in which the
little Athens Post" is held in at least
portions of that county. During our
short stay at Maryville, we had the pleas
ure of adding the names OF thirty cash
subscribers to our list-and for which
we are under obligations to the kind
friends who interested themselves in be-
half of the paper. 1t is now settled that
"old Blount' belongs permanently to o0
Circuit. People who so readily appreciate
good thing are worthy of attention, and
we hope to be a regular attendant in Gu-
ture at the Maryville Courts, at least un.
til the citizens grow tired of us.
1t is generally known that Blount has
been a strong Union county," We can
say, however, that things are quiet there,
and we believe there is a growing, if not
general, disposition to acquiesce in the
decision Of the State, and to take hold,
go along with and sustain the cause Of
Southern independence. SO much we
learned from mixing with the crowd on
Monday and Tuesday. Blount has al.
ready sent forward some OF the best
equipped and most efficient troops tirut
have entered the service, and more can
and will be raised when needed.
On Monday, Mr.. Caldwell, candidate
for Congress, addressed a very respecta-
bic crowd, in The Courthouse and his
speech was listened to with much attcn-
ton, and we believe made good impress
sion. From the expression outside after
wards, we think he will receive a very re-
spectacle vote in that county.
There is one feature we observed at Ma.
ryville, which we must notice in this de-
sultory paragraph. The original Southern
men there while decided are conciliatory
in their views, and manifest disposition
to lay aside the prcjudices Of the past and
know nothing but desire to promote the
cause in which all are alike ntercsted.-
That is the right spirit-qnd we regret
thet there are places and localities in East
Tennessee where both Sccessionsts and
Union men keep themselves constantly
employed in cultivating the past, rather
than in harmonizing and uniting to pre-
pare for and take care of the future.
We repeat, we are much gratified with
our trip to "Old Blount," and hope that
those into whose families the Post is in
trodnced for the first time, may derive as
much pleasure in its reception as we do
in sending it to them.

Recruiting at the North.

A gentleman recently from New York
informs us that the recruiting in that city
proceeds slowly and that draft will pro-
badly have to be resorted to. The lawful
ness Of this draft, under the theory that
the South is a rebellous district of the
United States, is disputed by some law
yers; but law being obsolete in the United
States, and Lmcolnism being supreme, the
draft will 60 on. Our informant thinks
that while parties interested in army con-
tracts are eager to fire the popular heart,
yet Manassa gave it such soaking, it does
not burn rapidly. ION TO Richmond"
however, is still believed practicable, but
not by the Manassa route. Our informant
anticipates scenes Of great misery and riot
in New York this winter.

"Tennessec Exiles.n

some sharpers are making good thing
in Cincinnati and other Western cities,
playing the role Of Tennessee exiles. The
costume is an antiquated wagon, n veneer
able horse, with great development OF hip

burnt children clad in dilapidated cos
tune. The caravan parades the streets,
and crowd of curious spectators is soon
assembled; when the doleful tale of exile
is told. Driven from home with barely
enough time to get aboard OF their carts,
they have travelled so the story goes,

Arrests and Discharges.

Some twenty-Iour citizens of this county
were arrested last week, taken to Knox
vile, arraigned before the Confederate
Court, and nearly all of them
taking the oath of allegiance, ard the
balance on their own recognizance to de-
port themselves as loyal citizens. We
know nothing of the charges on which the
arrests were made. But they seem to have
amounted to nothing, but free ride on
the railroad. We may be peculiar in the
notion, but it would seem that, if arrests
must be made, it would be proper to com.
mence with the "big men" instead of the
little ones-the deceivcrs instead Of the
dupes. When the serpent's head is off
he is powerlcss for harm, though the tail
for short time after may show signs of

The Fight at Barboursville,

We find the following account of the
skirmish at Barboursyille, Ky, in the
Knoxville RGgister, OF the 22d
Mr.. P. S. Snyder, private in Capt.
Rowan's Company, the McGhee lnvinci-
bles who was in the fight at Barbours-
Vile, on Thursday morning, and who ar
rived here yesterday, direct from our
camp at Cumberland Ford, commune
Gates the following particulars:
About 500 of our troops, under Col.
Battle, with two or three companies OF
cavalry, were advancing on Barboursville,
about daylight on Thursday morning,
and were within a quarter of Il mile OF
that place, ut a bridge crossing n ravine,
when a body of Lincolntes opened fire
upon them. The fire was returned by
two companies of Col. Battles forces,
when our cavalry charged on the enemy,
putting them to flight.
Lieut.. Powell, of the Hawkins Boys
on our side was killed, and j. +. Brow
der of the McGhee Invincibles, was NOR
tally wounded. The loss on the side OF
the Lincolnites had not been fully ascer-
tanned, but number of their dead, vari-
ously stated at from so to GO were found
upon the ground. Two prisoners
only were taken. The Lincolnites,
according to statements of persons in
Barboursvillc, numbered only some four
hundred men, and not 1900 as at first re-
ported. Capt. Rowan, who bravely led
his men into the fight, narrowly escaped
with his life, as he seemed to have been
the target at which the enemy chiefly
aimed. a lock of his hair was shot off,
his sword belt cut in two by ball, and
the end of his finger barked by another.

Among the numerous manufactures
which are springing into existence to sup

Stereotype Foundry, now nearly ready to
commence operation. All the necessary
drives, dies, matrices, etc, are ready

Engravers, who understand the different
branches OF these trades, providing there
are any such in the Confederaoy. Publish

DS1" We have it from good authority
that President Davis, being applied to, a
few weeks since, to discharge from the
service some Mississippi volunteers, under
the ago of eighteen years, whose relatives
desired that they should pursue their
collegiate studies, remarked that such
youths ought never to have been muster
ed into service, and that he would gladly
order the discharge of every one whose
friends would apply for his discharge lie
observed further, that this class of young
men could render the country more-ef-
feotual service by preparing themselves
for future usefulness, than by volunteer
ing as soldiers. Indeed said he, in max
ing soldiers of them, we are grinding our
seed corn Orjom MteAgencer.

The Southern Army,

The New York Haaid estimates the
number of Southern troops in service at
100000. We don't know where the Her
all procured its information, but its figures
are about right. 1t might, however, have
added to the information of the readers
of that sheet, if it had stated, what is
strictly true, that those 100000 are only
the advance guard of the Southern army
made up mostly of young men-and
that there is half million of the old
ones sloshing round home, and ready to
march at any moment. The young ones,
it will be admitted, have been doing some
pretty tall fghting-but when Abraham
and his cohorts shall see the "oid felers"
coming they will conclude at once that il
is about time TO ''get out ,of tho wilder
ness"

GETTING on SwIMMINGLY.-The Union ana
american, of yesterday, publishes the fol-
lowing from letter received in this city.
We congratulate our friend on his lucky
escape. We don't think now, and never
did, that he was born to be drowned:
"On Friday, the 9th inst, in visiting
our line of pickets, Col. 10. G. Pickett, in
company with Gen. Anderson, in attempt
ing to cross Valley River, which was con.
siderably swollen from heavy rains, came
very near losing his life, in CONSEQUENCES
of his horse stumbling and falling in the
stream, which was almost as rapid as the
impetuous Niagara. Both rider and horse
were swept down some fifty yards and
both were thought to be lost, but the
gallant Colonel rescued himself, while his
horse with great difficulty made the
shore. The Colonel lost his pistol, blan-
kets, and hat"

Appointment by Judge Humphreys.

The 9TH section of the Sequestration
act passed by the Confederate Congress
makes it the duty Of each Judge Of the
Coniederacy to appoint a Receiver for
each section of the State, for which he
shall hold Court. We understand that
under this provision of the act, his Honor
announced in Court the other day that
he had appointed Hon. VIM. II. Snecd
Receiver for East Tennessee, who had
declined the office, whereupon he had
appointed Col. Landon C. Haynes. The
Office Of Receiver will be most respon-
sible and arduous one, it being his duty
to take control and management of all
lands, teroments and heredtanents,
goods and chattels, rights and credits, OF
each and every alien enemy within the
section for which he acts" being empow-
cred to Sue and recover for the same

Bs1g" We are requested to state, by the
Secretary Of State, that not one half the
clerks Of the county Courts have yet re-
ported the aggregate voting population
of their respective counties, as required
under the Ac. of March ODD, 1860, and
inasmuch as but few days yet remain
within which to make the reports, to
enable the Secretary to make his report
to the Legislature, we hope they will
promptly forward them, that the Legis-
lature may have the information to enable
them to redistrict the State at an early
day.

Important Report.

The Nashville Banner of the 22d says
there is no doubt the Federals and Con-
foderates had an important engagement
at and near Paducah, on Thursday last,
and that General Johnston is now in pos
session of Paducah. The report is that
about $4,000 Confederates under Gener-
al Cheatham, at Milburn, some 80 miles
from Paducah, were attacked by the
greater portion Of Grants forces and re-
pulsed; and that at the same time Gen.
Johnston made an attack on the city
both carrying everything before them.
This news is brought, partly by young
man who was in Paducah on Wednesday,
and heard the firing all day Thursday,
and is judged partly by other circum-
stances to be true.

Baltimore to be Burned,

Through the Baltimore american"
the Norfolk "Day Book" learns that the
Lincoln troops arc erecting batteries to
command that city, upon Federal Hill,
and are given to understand that, upon
the approach of a Confederate force.
they mean to burn it to the ground. We
hardly know how to believe that Lincoln
can be meditating a crime so horrible,
and we should not believe it, had he not
taken pains to render us incapable OF
surprise at any thing he may do.

Harbors on the Southern Coast.

The Northern journals, which are maxi
ing such tremendous and triumphant
clamor over the great victory" at Hat
teras Inlet, announce that the govern.
ment has hereby secured possession of the
whole Southern coast. AS usual they are
displaying the utmost ignorance OF the
subject on which they attempt to enlight-
en- other people. So numerous are the
inlets on the coast that a vessel of mod
crate draught of water can run from Cape
Henry to New Orleans and make harbor
every night 1t is impossible that the
government can close these outlets, even
if the men and ships at its disposal were
increased hundred fold. We subjoin u
list of harbors between the mouth of the
Chesapeake and Florida, and the distance
between each. They are, Of course,
known to the government, and properly
to every insurance officer in this city:
