This gentleman who had been arrested
and carried to Richmond, we learn has
been liberated and will return immedi-
ately to his home. The party who brings
this Intelligence, says it is understood that
Mr.. Nelson will acquiesce in the decision
Of the State, recently made, and that he
will counsel the Union men of his sec,
ton to that course. We trust this infor-
nation may prove correct, as without his
aid and leadership, the East Tennessee
movement will soon be too insignificant
to notice. Mr.. Maynard, it is understood,
succeeded in making his way through
the mountains into Kentucky. and has
probably reached the Federal Capitol.

regardless of cost, and armed to the teeth
for the purpose Of clearing away any OBJ

of the transports containing the grand
army of the West during their triumphal
progress down the Mississippi to Memphis
and New Orleans, were due last evening
at Cairo, and doubtless have arrived there,
as the Ohio river was in fine boating or

The State ELECTION.

The returns from the entire State have
not yet reached us. Gov. Harris majority
will not be as large as was indicated last
week-,not perhaps more than thirty odd
thousand. The antiSouthern vote in
Fast Tennessee, falls off some eight thou-
sand from the vote in June The list of
members elected to the Legislature is not
full. Outside Of East Tennessee less than
a half dozen anti-Southern nen have
beenreturned, so that The majority in
both braRches will be overwhelming. In
what is known as lower East Tennessee,
there are six Southern men elected; and
three anti-Southern, Dan Trewhitt, Mitch.
Edwards, and Mr.. Cleveland in Hamil-
ton. One of these gentleman is repre-
scented to have said during the canvass
that he would go to h-ll before he would
go to Nashville. His seat at .he latter
place will probably be untitled. We will
publish list of members elected as soon
as complete.

The Lane Guards.

This Company Of Cavalry, numbering
one hundred men, Capt. Gouldy, left here
Monday evening for Knoxville. A hand
some Banner, which had been prepared
by the ladies Of Athens, was presented
the Company on the eve of its departure.
In behalf of the ladies A. CALDWELL, Esq,
presented the Banner, making short and
we'll conceived address. r. S. VAN DYKE
responded on the part of the Company in
apeculiarly happy manner. After the pre-
sentation, the Company paraded through
the principal streets of the town mid the
cheering OF their friends, who had assem-
bled to bid them God speed in the noble
cause in which they had enlisted. This
is the fourth Company McMinn has sent
forward, with the fifth now nearly full.
There was larger crowd present on
Monday than we have seen gathered here
for several years; and Notwithstanding
there was intense exci.emo mt. growing
out of rumors of a serious character, eve
ry thing passed off quietly.
After the Guards had left, THOMAS j.
CAMPBELL, ESQ.,, was called out and adj
dressed a large crowd, with much effect
upon the condition of affairs and the po-
sition that all East Tennesseeans ought to
occupy in the contest. As remarked by
the speaker, there is no longer excuse for
any Southern man occupying position
of hostility or opposition to the Confed-
crate States. Twice has Tennessee at the
ballot-box, by overwhelming majorities,
declared her reputation of the Northern
government and her sympathy and iden-
LITIGATION with the Southern Confcderacy.
We have all participated in the elections
which placed the State where it now
stands, and whether we voted yea or nay,
the fact that we did participate leaves us
without excuse for any course other than
to abide the result and cheerfully perform
the obligations which we owe to the Com.
monwealth and to the society of which
we are members. This is the right doc
trine, and it is folly and madness to think
of any other.

The Capture of Ely.

The Montgomery Confederation has the
following from a reliable source:
At half past three o'clock the stam-
pede became fearful, and the gloom a.
mong Wilson & Co. was awful. They i'm
mediately jumped into their carriages and
put for Washington at a rapid rate. The
Hon. Mr.. Ely, with friend, catching the
contagion, and believing the enemy to be
near at hand, jumped into buggy and
pushed forward to Washington at "dou-
BILE quick" Three miles from Centreville,
the starting point, the buggy broke down,
and its contents were left prey to our
forces. Ely heard at this moment the
terrible" tramping OF the cavalry, and
jumped behind tree to secret himself,
while his friendput to the woods and was
seen no more: Presently horseman
dashed on, and, seeing a man behind a
tree, loudly called out: "Who are you,
sirs" "Mr. Ety." answered the man i'm
mediately, "Well, who in the h--ll is Mr..
Ely" said the horseman. "Mr. Ely, men,
Der of Congress from the Rochester Dis
trict, New York." said the man. "The
hill you say: say that over again, old fell
low" calculated the horseman. 81 am,
sir, the Hon. Mr.. Ely, the member of the
Federal Congress from the Rochester Dis
trict, New York, said the man. "Well,"
said the horseman, "I'll be id If /
hav'nt caught you at last; / have been
looking for you the whole day, and it's
id strange that l have just found you
out" So, pulling out his pistol and
pointing it right at the Fedesal Congress.
mans head, he said: "Mr. Ely, put your
foot in my stirrup and get up behind me;
am going TO take you to Richmond."-
Ely did as requested, and away went the
horseman to the quarters of General Beau
regard, and with live Yankee Congress-
man behind him whom he captured.

Overwhelming Numbers"

From the Washington Repub., Lincoln's Organ.
Mr.. Cox, of Ohio, trapped the Repu6-
lican members of Congress handsomely,
in inducing them to adopt his resolutions
approving the conduct Of the army, with
out observing that, among much that
was correct in thought and expression,
there was also one averment which
amounts to a condemnation of the Pres
ident and Of the management Of the war
in asitsl point. We refer to that part
of the resolutions which affirms that VIC
tory was snatGhed from US, at the battle
of July 81, by "over~hei,nins numbers" If
this is true the President ought to be inn
peached, and General Scott ought to be
dismissed from his Office, without sim
gle days delay. There can be no ex-
cuse for Mr.. Lincoln, if he has allowed
himself to be "orer~helmeti' by "numJers,"
within twenty-five miles of the Capital,
in the fourth month of the war, and
with unlimited power of assembling
troops here. Nor can there be any ex-
cuse for General Scott, if he ordered the
army to attack Overwhelming Numbers"
when rejnforcements were so easily to be
had.
But the truth is, the President and
the Lieut.. General are not justly amen.
able to the censure SO artfully wrapped
up in the phraseology of Mr.. Cox's reso.
lutions. Great exaggerations Of the enc.
my's numbers commanded credence in
the first few days after the battle, but il
is now known that, numerically, we were
at least equal to them, looking either to
the troops actually engaged or to those
held in immediate reserve.

Sneaka.

While we disapprobate the course, we
can at least admire the boldness and can
dor of the man who comes out openly
and declares his intent to stand by the
Lincoln government. But there is no
words in the English language sufficiently
adequate to express the contempt which
every honest person must feel for the
cowardly sneaks who go about protesting
to be for peace and acquiescence, and at
the same time are at work covertly SOW
ing the seeds of resistance, strife and
bloodehed among the people. The FIRST
takes the chances in his hand and boldly
breasts the consequences. The sneaks in.
cite others to steps which will end in their
destruction, but take care not to endan.
ger their own worse than worthless exis-
tence. The poor devil who on the high
way bids you "stand, and deliver!" is a
gentleman compared to such ineffable
scoundrels. There is no crime of which
such natures are not capable. All they
need is the opportunity without the risk
OF exposure. They are traitors of the
darkest dye, and whatever Of strife and
bloodshed is to follow, will be due main
ly to their insidiohs efforts. Avoid them
as you would some deadly plague. There
is treason in their whispered counsel,
and midnight burnings and assassinations

THE Government appreciates Tire Ne

TO the wishes Of the Union men Of Ken
lucky, the sending Of arms to East Ten
nessee was deferred until otter The August

the result, or at least have weakened the
Union party in the State. The election,
however, is over, and we may look for the
animal soldiery Of Lincoln to invade our
soil for the pretended purpose Of furnish
ing arms for East Tennessee. Our State
will be occupied by military force sent
in our midst by the Federal Government,
which will doubtless be met by troops Of
the Confederate States, and then Ken
lucky will become indeed the clark and
bloody ground" --LomsviLe Courier.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Washington, says:
The mountains of Western Virginia.
Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee-the
only regions of the South in which long
struggle could be made against the over
whelming armies of the Union--are for
tunately filed with loyal men, ready to
fight and die for our cause-which is the
cause of liberty and freedom. universally
and not in aid of the rebel despots.-
This leaves the hope Of speedy issue
less doubtful. The mountaineers have
always instinctively ranged themselves on
the side of true liberty, and their power
has usually proved invincible. Our forces
in Western Virginia are rapidly advancing
to the support of these Southern patriots,
and may, ere the enemy is aware, cut off
the retreat of the invading legions Of the
Gulf States. This will essentially aid in
accomplishing the ultimate work Of fore
ing their surrender, in like manner, If not
in a similar place, as the invaders under
Lord CORVALLIS.

Reported fight in Western virginia.


Our city was moved yesterday by re-
ports of an engagement between Gen. Lee
and Ronsencrantz in Western Virginia,
as it is known that one or more of our
Tennessee regiments are with Lee. The
Richmond Enquirer of the 10th has the
following in regard TO the engagement:
Passengers who came down upon the
Central train yesterday evening, report
that Gen. Lee and Gen. Ronsencrantz, on
Thursday, attempted to gain the advan-
tage OF each other in an advanced posi-
ton. Gen. Lee reached the point in dis
pute with two regiments few hours in
advance of his adversary, who hal four
regiments A battle ensued, by which
the enemy were driven from the field
with loss of forty killed, while there
was little or no loss on our side. Gen.
Lee commenced fortifying the pass he
had gained, near Big Spring, in Poca-
hontas county, fifteen miles from Hun
tersville. Big Spring commands the
turnpike road from Randolph to Lewis
burg, and also to the Central Railroad.
As showing that an engagement was
anticipated we copy the following extract
from the letter Of q gentleman whose
