WIS, and ]. w. THoREBURe. The Union says
they were leaders in the rebelliOus movements
in East Tennessee, and took an active part in
heading citizens Of that end Of the State astray
by tbe most despiaable misrepresentation.
They had a preliminary hearing before the
Hon. WEST H. HUMPHREYS. at Knoxville,
and their guilt was so clear that be sent them
before che Confederate States District Court
for further trial, but the sheriff Of Knox ceun-
ty having refused to take an cath to support
the Constitution Of the Confederate States,
JUICE HUMFHKEYs felt nngilliag to com
nit them to bis custody, IS jailer Of
Knox county, and ordered that they be con-
fined in the jail Of Davidson county.

the nams of C. L. BARTON, eff sctsd an
escape from the train. when near Wartraee,

hour, when be jumped out, and it was quite
likely be was seriously hurt. As soon as 4
was discovered be had escaped, the train was
s5oFped and a party Of soldiers sent back to
hunt hlm up, and they will probably catch
bin.

business Of that city, and says hat within the
last two weeks, there have been seven or eight
large dealers there from Richmond, buying
supplies for their houses, and establishing trade

The articles purchased were sugar, m~olasses,
salt, hardware, s~addlery, and in fact nearly

~ The act Of Congress-, says the Rich
moBd Enquirer, throwing open cur whole
coast to the entry Of vessels, permitting them
to land their cargoes at any poiBt without re-
gard to ports of entry, failed to become a law,
not having been sent to the President for his
approval. This is very mucht to be regretted,
bat we are ssured the government will not
object to vessels ayailing themselves Of the
good intention OF Congress, even il the law
did fail to receive tie Presidents signature.
