The Memphis Appeal of the lst says:

.IHe memphis. Appeal OF the lsLSays: f4gaF 1
We are pleased to learn from an acquaintance,
who left Bowling Green on Thursday evening, that
the defences at that point are progressing in
most satisfactory manner Generals Johnston and
Buckner, while they have preserved their equa.
nimity, have still been energetic and laborious.
They now have excellently armed and well ap-
pointed army sufficiently large in numbers to hold
their position, without fear of successful flank
movement, against at least $4,000 men,. The
enemy only have $4,000, all told, between Green
river and Louisville. M
The timber has been cut away for three or four
miles around Bowling Green 80 as to give our bat
teries q fair sweep at the Hessians and prevent
them from resorung to their favorite style of war
fare, |. e. " bush. acking.n
The impression among some Of our officers, we
learn, is that the main attack of the enemy will be
made at Bowling Green, and that the threatened
movement on Columbus is mere feint.
The same paper also has the following:
| RECOVERY OF A MISSING GUN.-A scouting party
| from Captain Whites company-the Tennessee
Mounted Rifles from this city-whie on duty on
the Missouri shore, opposite Columbus, on Thurs
| day last, found one of the missing pieces OF the
Louisiana Watson battery, sunk in the small lake
| enemy had succeeded in carrying off two pieces,
bat this discovery shows that in the hurry of their
retreat from the vengeance Of our gallant boys
| they found it necessary to abandon the trophy.
Strong expectations exist that the remaining piece
will be found in the same neighborhood, and the
splendid battery be again on duty as was origin
ally intended by the gentleman through whose
munifcence it was placed in service. If these
hopes are realized the Federalists who were en-
gagged in the battle of Belmont will be destitute O.
any token of their success in the early part of tht
day. .g,. tn-rs. sc.
The Cleveland (Tenn) Banner says that since
| the call has been made by the Governor for arms
some two hundred from that county have beer
brought in, and they still continue to come. Uniol
men, as we'll as 7Secessonists, are delivering NJ
their guns very cheerfully, and the signs indicate
that in short time we will be q united people
all one way. Sd. .a&r,'l
The same paper gives cheering account of /
favorable improvement in the political sentimen
of that section, and says: 5..
Lincolnism or Unionism if you prefer it-th
terms are synonimous-is about defunct in this re
gion of Tennessee. Certain persons have had tn
scales knocked from their eyes, and they see tn
thing now as clear as mud. They acknowledg
that they have been deceived and misled by dema
gogues who, when the tug of war came, left then
: in The lurch. We hope these erring mortas vii
" sin no more" and that we may have peace an,
quiet here at home. We think the Union me
hereabouts have got their fill of the rebellio
movement, and that hereafter most of them will b
good and loyal citizens r...- 70 s.....

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9.-Snce my last letter up to
this date little has occurred Of interest import
ance. Reconnaissance have pushed out carefully
from the front of the Federal army, and have dis
covered as far as Fairfax and Yienna-eyen to
creeks below Alexandria and along the road to
Drainsye-that the army are not in force and do
not hold the ground, but that they are in observa-
ton, and have their troops well thrown back
towards the old position at Manassas.
1t is believed thatthe Confederates know every
move of their opponents, who are not at al SO for
tunate. The negro population are thought to act
for their masters with zeal and fidelity. We hear
of regiments and guards of colored people down
South, and when the Confederates were at Mum
sons Hill one of their most forward skirmishers-
an indefatgable fellow, always loading and firing
was black man. There has been no great REIN
forcements received by this army lately, In eonse-
quence of the diversion OF Ohio and Illinois and In
diana troops to the State of Kentucky and to the
West and the largest estimate of the forces in the
field does not raise it much above the numbers
given in one of my recent letters. 1t isinthe New
England States, and the emigration from them in
the West, which have put forth their strength in
the war for the Union, and the Puritan and Quaker
element Of the other States has been animated by
similar spirit. In the regiments in camp there
are prayer meetings and preachings, and reyiyals
and Young Mems Christian Associations; the Colo
nels give benedictoa, the Majors preach, the Ser
geants pray, and the battalion march, singing

l.,
The Regimental Order Book having been lost at
the battle of Port Royal, the Adjutant is hereby d-
rected to open new one, with the following ad-
dress to Companies and B, German Artillery, in
scribed upon its first pages, viz:
FellO1U- Soldiers of the German AfttNeTy Inc
Colonel Commanding desires to embrace the occa.
sion of your first dress parade after the battle OF
Port Royal, to testify publicly to your fidelity,
courage and good conduct on that terrible but
glorious day. Though the power of the enemy
was overwhelming, he himself has acknowledged
your bravery and patriotism; and if praise is due
to small band of 30 citizen soldiers for resisting,
with fifteen guns for five hours, an array of eighteen
war vessels, with over 400 guns, served by the
most efficient seamen in the world, you, and the
little band of Caronians that fought at your side,
have fairly and honestly earned that praise.
My comrades Yes, | may truly call you my
comrades now, for we have bled together! My
comrades desire you to hold up your head and
to look boldly in just pride. into the face OF your
fellow men for though the day of battle was not
our own, you have quilted the field only upon ez-
plicit order, and am well assured that you would
have died 10 a man sooner than that disgrace
| should have fallen upon the German name OF your
noble adopted land. In the name of both-of your
German fatherland and your new Palmetto home
I thank yon for your gallant valor! Let no man
hereafter dare to asperse your patriotism You
| shall answer him with Port Royal. You have, in
truth, been tried, and not found wanting
| But remember. that the glorious name which
| you have earned with your blood, must never be
| sullied! Remember your dead comrades and
never give them cause to blush in their heavenly
home, over the deeds of those at whose sides they
fell, and whom in life they loved and cherished
| My brave boys, let me repeat to you what your
heroic Major, Huger, says in his official report to
me: "Should it ever be my fortune to appear
upon a hardfought field, my strong desire is that
the brave Germans of my battalion should be al
my back They proved themselves band OF he
roes."
And am sure it will not be less grateful to yot
to have the assurance of your old Captain nov
your Colonel, that am entirely satisfied with you
and willing, if the need should ever occur, to risl
life and honor, and all a man holds most dear, upol
your truth, your fidelity, and vaIor.

No army was ever so well provided, in quantity
at all events, with ehaplains, and in some mems
mind the war for the Union is a crusade for all
that Is good and holy in the world. The gulf that
separates Christian knight from Saraeen Epiir was
not wider than that which divides the Northern vol
unteer from the Southern chivary. The contest
over, new political %elations may be established,
but France and England will not be more distinct.
There seems to be no apprehension that this great
mass of armed men cannot be disposed of by
few circulars. @' FH.o25 H7-. ts=.
Matters in Missouri are no better. What would
be thought in London if an enemy's battery were
playing on the shipping below Blackwell? In Ken
lucky the Federaliss do not appear to have gained
much, if anything, and the Union party there con-
fess they must have the aid Of troops from the
other States, they cannot hold their own against
the bold and enterprsing Gonfederates. 7r3
