In an Interview with Col. Topp, Of this city,
who returned from East Tennessee yca:er'lay,
VIC we're pleased 10 learn that the difficulties i'll
that portion Of the State have been greatly
macnjfied, or rather, that they ore in 4 fair way
Of paciicllion. We learn from Colonel Topp
that a telegraphic dispatch reached Knoxville
Wednesday morning. stating That Presl lent
Davis had discharged Hon. 7. 4. X. Nelson
upon his agreeing Ia aquicscc in and abide by
thc action cf The State OF Tennessee rs eS-
pressed in the late election.
Il is tue opinion 81 Colonel Topp that i'll 4
short time all discussion in the Eastern division
Of the State will be accommodated by the cum
mon consent Of the people. He says The rso-
bic are displaying great zeal in raising troops
in all the counties, for the service al The Con-
tolerate States, and That in Ii very short time,
in proportion to population, East Tennessee
will have as many volunteers in the field rs
any >shcr division Of the Stale.
Col. Topp also informs ns that Mr.. Netl,sr-
land, who is, ard has bceh Il prominent Cn!0n
man, has always disCOuntenanced rebellion,
and is now actively engaged in urging his
friends every where to abide the action OF the
State as expressed in the late election. lie is
doing good service in the way Of pacitication.
Col. Topp furthermore informs l' that hlr.

CARDS he late election as expressive Of the de.
liberatc sentiments Of the State, and that he
will take ground against rebellion. Mr.. Brown.
lows paper has not been suppressed, Us has
heretofore been reported, though the subject
had been freely talked OF.
These facts, taken in connection with the
fact that Mr.. Crittcnden, and other prominent
kentuckia,,s, had gone 10 the camp Of those
Union men whose design it vas TO invade East
Tennessee, with the view Of %persuading them
to disband, lead us 10 hope that the appre-
hended troubles in East Tennessee may yetbe
averted. We sincerely trust that anch may
be the case.

From the Louisville Courier" August y!
wIiI Kentucky go with the South

The question for the people Of Kentucky 10
determine is not whether the Southern States
shall he subjugated or their independence &C
knowledged, but whether they will unite The
destiny Of their State with the North Or with
the South. The Independence Of the Southern
Confaderacy is q fixed fact" settled beyond
question by the glorious battle at Manassas.
This being settled, it is for the people Of Ken
lucky to determine whether they will remain
With the North or unite with the Sunth.
When our people are called upon to deter
mine this question we have no doubts as to the
result. Missouri and Maryland will certainly
Withdraw from the Union, and il cannot be
that Kentucky will long remain in u Oontede-
racy in which she would he the only slave
State. We know it is urged that slave pro-
pcrty would be more secure should Kentucky
remain where she is, than if she should join
her sister States of the South but this is Il
mistaken idea. If Kentucky unitcs with the
South, the Ohio river will become the North.
ern boundary Of the Southern Contedecacy,
and troops will be stationed along its entire
length, thereby protecting cur property far
more efficiently than it has ever been protect.
ed heretofore.
We know there q few in the State who de.
sire the abolition Of slavery, and are confident
" looking forward to the time when Kentucky
shall become d free State, and the places Of
our shareholders and slaves shall be supplied by
the surplus population from the over.crowdcd
cities Of the North. But this will never occur.
Tho Southern Contederacy will not permit Ken
lucky, so long as she remains in tho Union, to
sell her slaves to the Southern Strtes-hencc,
the slave population Of our State will haze no
outlet-slavo property will become located,
and consequently will be comparatively value
less.
United with the North, Kentucky will hc :

ling political influence. Possessing great nat
ural advantages, she will soon become q
leading manufacturing State, and will be Ell
riched by the custom from the Southern States,
from which the North has heretofore derived
its chief wealth. The Northern manufacturing
States will no longer supply the South n tariff
will be imposed on all articles manufactured
there, and Kentucky will thus be protected in
her manufacturing and industrial interests. In
viewing the whole subject, in our Judgment,
the Union of Kentucky with the South ls q
social. political, and commercial necessity.

THE above is q heavy loss, being about one

it all was, in about thirty minutes, it shows
the terrible fire to which this newly formed
regiment was exposed, aud which they sus'
tanned like heroes. Among the soldiers who
thus fought like the braVest veterans, and
charged with the bayonet on forces many
times their superior in numbers, were young
fellows, fresh to the camp, and fresh from
the qnict scenes Of agricultural life. That
they were able to stand undaunted under such
trying circumstances, and to render such
brilliant service, SHOWS OIL %llal noo!e sPlr'I
they are, and that the soil which raises such,
can grow nought but heroes. It will be re-
membcred that they first disabled by their fire,
ana then took at the point Of the bayonct and
held for a while, one of the enemy's advanced
batteries. One ofthe wounded Of Capt. Wards
company was shot while cheering from the top
Of one OF these captured guns.

OF let our thankful prayers ascend, our Joyous

For Gol-the God Of victory, our untried flag

And in their pride they laughed to scorn, the

And for their conquering Generals, a !oraly
feast they spread
Blu. the wine 10 which we pledged them, was

Before our conquering heroes, their Generals

Gcd had weighed them in the balance and
His hand upon the wall,
At the taking of Fort Sumter, had fore.doom'

But they would not heed the warning, and
scoted in unbelief,
Till their scorn was changed to waiting, and
their laughter into grief!
All day the fight Taa raging, and, amid the
lannon's peal
Rang the cracking Of our rifles, and the clash
ing Of or steel
But above the din of battle, our shout of trl'
umph rose,
As we charged upon their batteries, and turn
ed them on cur foes.
We staid not for our fallen; and We thought not
Of our dead,
Until the day was ours, and the routed foe
had fed.
Bat once our spirits faltered-Bee and Barlow
both were down,
And our gallant Col. Hampton lay. wounded
or the ground;
But Beauregard, God bless him! led the legion
in his stead,
And Johnston seized the colors, and waved
them Ger his head!
Fen a coward must have followed, when such
heroes led the way;
Ard no bastard blood was lowing in South.

But every arm was strengthened, and every
heart was stirred,
When shouts of "Davis! Davisl" along our

As he rode into the battle the joyful news few

him as he passed. ,
Oh! with such glorious leaders, III Cabinet and

But from the wings OF Victory, the shafts OF

And our pride is dash'd with sorrow when we
