The importance of the news from Tsnnes-
see can hardly be Overestimated. It will
transfer the seat Of war from Virginia and
Kentucky to Tennessee and North and South
OsrOliua. The UniOniss are doing noble
service to their country in Tennessee. They
are proving themselves true heroes, who,
having long stood firm against persecution,
affection, robbery and death, have the
courage and will to stab rebellion in its very
vitals. The Importance Of the railroad run.
ming from Central Virginia into Eastern Ten
nsssss, and then on TO Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, has been fully appreciated by
both sides. The rebels have carefully guard
ed Il, end the Union army has been endeavor-
ing to get possession of it, to destroy the
Communication with Northern and Southern
ssCsssia. The Union men of Tennessee
hsvo now destroyed FIVE or six bridges upon
this road and its connections. Two were
in Hamilton and Bradley counties, which
are adjoining in the southeast corner Of
the State. Two more were in Green county,
in the northeastern corner, almost upon the
Virginia line, and another in Sullivan eoun-
ty, q few miles southwest of Green. In JEFF
iersOu county, still further to the southwark,
a bridge was fred, but the flames extinguish-
ed. There is not doubt but that these were
the result of prsconcerted action on the part
Of the Unionists, who have done nobly in
their efforts to cripple the rebellion. The
rebel armies in Virginia, having this avenue
Of retreat or reinforcement thus cut of, are
In critical position, which the presence OF
Gen. Sherman's forces below Charleston does
nos improve. We imagine that the Virginia
armies will fall back into North and South
Carolina Is rapidly as Gen. Mcclellan will
let them. The destruction Of the bridges
will also cause panic in the army of zOlli-
Golfer, which was defeated at Pikeville on
Friday and Saturday last. Instead of push
ing toward the Ohio, he viii now be plan
liug some escape from the two fires which
menace his front and rear.
Meantime it is reported that the railroad
bridge just north of Nashville has also been
destroyed, which will leave BuckneE at Bow
ling Green in dangerous condition.
The clouds are clearing away and the clear
sunlight is breaking through upon US, while
the rebels are encompassed round about
with thick and gathering clouds of despair
and wrath. Our young Generals prophecy

ate" IS having glorious ful6lment.

The RnreIrn Trade.

The report of exports of certain articles
from the port of New York for the FIRST ten
months of 1899, 1860 and 1861 show that
the increase has been nearly six fold in two
years, and above two fold in one year. These
articles are cut meats, butter, cheese, lard
and tallow. The exports Of grains, including
-four, meal, wheat corn, rye oats, and bar
ley, amounted to 1891, ,51s bushels for the
first ten months of 1853; 1854, z22 for
1860, and 1856, 1852 for 1861, the in
crease being three hundred per cent. for two
years, and fifty per cent for one year. For
the same time the value of all exports, ex-
elusive of specie, was in 1859, S5s, 23s, ,6a5;
for 1860, $sl, ,41s,6 ,6l7; for 1851, slll,217,-
$50. Such statement of our foreign trade
at time whdn the whole country IS involved
in war, is as astonishing as it is gratifying.

We we've 50 totally unPrepared for war whea

announcement the people would have been
more pleased If all had not been so quiet upon
that dividing line between National and
Confederate authority. They could not see
the military advantage of all this inaction,
but they could see the heaps of dead upon
the battle field, and could mourn over our
defeats. The old cry of forward to Rich

rhe uninn lInvemnnt.

The Onion movement in Ohio was pro-
fessedly organized for the purpose Of ejecting
db0i6oRists from power. If this profession
is to be carried out, Wade will undoubtedly
be n, ,ected, as be is regarded in Ohio as one
Of the most ultra abolitionists in the State.
We think we could name several Democrats
elected by the "Union" movement, who will
regard it as g very wide breach Of faith to
those who elected them, If they vote for Ben.
Wade for the Senate Of the United States
Ohio Statesman
The first sentence of the above paragraph
isslie. The Union movement was entered
into for the support Of the Government and
the prosecution of the war for the Union,
and for nothing else. The Republicans had
a large majority in the State and could have
carried it at the Gubernatorisl election. But
they knew that many Democrats were as
earnestly in favor Of the war as they were
themselves, and to prevent any heated polit-
cal controversies from diyerting the attention
Of the people of Ohio from the war, they
generously offered to make common ticket
with the loyal Democrats and give Demo
crat the highest place upon that ticket. The
offer was made in entire and disinterested
geoi faith, and not word has ever been said
or could be said against the honesty of the
Republicans in making it. II the Republic
cans trusted too much to the honor of their
Democratic allies they will have learned a
lesson for future guidance. But to say the
Union movement was entered into for the
special purpose Of Ousting abOlitionists from
power, is lie, and nothing else.
No doubt she Statesman could name sever
Al Democrats who would object to the return
of Senator Wade, but we would like to know
b. whst authority that paper processes to
lpeak for the Unionists of Ohio. It steadily
and Perpistsntly opposed the Union move

State can be managed without its council or

Of the State to suit its own party ends, no
doubt, but it will hardly hsve the oppOrtu-

assisted by ex-Attorney General Black, who
spends most of his time in this city, and his
late private Secret4Iy, Adam J. Glossbrenner,

effect this, be is putting forth his feelsrs, to
secure for him a favorable and partial hear

singular Meeting on the Battle Field.

Singular Meeting on the Battle Field.
A correspondent of the st. Louis Repub.
lican, reporting the battle of Belmont, re-
lstes this singular circumstance
A singular circumstance took place yes
terday. At the last session of Congress
Colonel Fouke parted with Colonel Wright,
member from Tennessee, and used this
expression: "Phil, l expect the next time
we meet it will be upon the field of battle,
and want to ask one favor Of you; if you
get me or any Of my men want you to use
US well, and if get you or any Of your
men, will do the same" Yesterday they
met in battle, and the very first prisoners,
sixty in number, that were taken, belonged
TO Col. Wrights command, and his old
friend, Col F., took them. One Of the men
informed me that Col. ". was mortally
wounded. Also that Pillow, who was in
command, was wounded. There will be
more information when the Memphis re-
turns.
But one ball struck the gun boats-that
was the Tyler-killing one man and Woun-
ding two others. The Memphis had Just
returned from Columbus. They exchanged
thirty sick prisoners. They acknowledge
to nearly four hundred men killed. They
were lying very thick on the banks They
have been all day bringing in their dead
Captain Challenor and Captain Abbott of
the TWenty-secOnd, are wounded and are
prisoners. Col. Fouke was asked by q
Lieutenant at Columbus if he was not the
Colonel who drove Col. Wright and his
command. He told him he was. The
Lieutenant then told Colonel F. that twenty
guns were aimed to pick him Of, when Col.
Wright saw him and ordered his men not
to shoot him as he was his friend. Had it
not been for that we should have been an
other Colonel short.

Guyandotte.

Among the works Of christianity Of this
century the destruction of GuyandOtte, Va,
will doubtless have a place. The Wheeling
Intelligencer thus describes the character, as
seen by its neighbOrs:
Guyandotte, on the Ohio river, in Cabell
county, Va, which was recently destroyed
by FIRE, and from which the Union
forces were driven by the rebel Jeu-
kins, has always had the reputation Of
being the ''ornaryest' place on the Ohio
river. It was ct ''Guyan,p where counter
feiters, horse thieves and murderers 'did most
congregate." It was Vicksburg on small
scale. It was the first town on the Ohio
river to display secession flag, and has al
ways been the worst secession nest in that
whole country. 1t ought to have been
burned two or three years ago. ErIF
1t also says that Major Whaley, who was
recruiting a Union regiment in that neigh
borhood, "with his one hundred and fifty
soldiers, were about the only decent honest
men who had ever staid in GuyandOtte over
night" @ 80 -Al EEL Ea 70

"Big Rattle" comes out with call to all the
little rattles, to drive all suspected persons
out of the city and the world at e rafting
pace. The black flag is raised o7er the city,

determined not to die SO easy, but instead
thereof to drive the HURion men" from the
stage; and they had nearly done it when the
gallant Sergeant grasped his trusty sword
and the work became no joke. he slsshed
right and left, regardless Of heads or points,
and turned the scale OF battle. As result
there were seven men who needed surgical
attendance. The audience were too much
interested to have tour side" win to scruple
about bruised heads. Indeed, intense ex.
citement prevailed, and the audience were al
on their feet, cheering the Sergeant on. One
man has been in bed ever since, and the Ser.
