fA Richmond correspondent writes as to
the position Of things in Eass Tennessee as
follows:
The traitor johnson, and the blsckguard
BrownloW, with their aecomplires in infsmy,
have succeeded in keeping up great deal OF
dissfsetion in East Tennessee. These villains
might carry their stroeious acts as fer as TO
destroy or impede the railroad tracks between
Cbaltonooga sRe Bristol. Indeed, there is a
distinct threat to that effect 10 the resolutions
Of the recent GraeDVille convention. Andrew
Johnson, who fsa the State Immediately after
the adjournment OF thst eoDventisn, with the
design OF forming some scheme of invasion
With the Lincolnits authorities, has hargainsd
for ten thousand sand Of arms, which be un-
der ~.to smnggle into East Tennessee for
the uSs ~ miEgnided followers. Governor
Harris has ors-Ied Tennessee regiment TO the
Cumberland Gap, fer the purpose OF guarding
that pass against the men and arms Of the
Lincolnites.
