Interdictions upon the telegraph are cheerfuly
submitted to by the people, when they have the re
motest reason to believe that information is with
held whose diffusion would damage the sacred
cause in which We are engaged. Any information
that might reach the enemy by its publication, and
thus give him knowledge of the plans or move
ments of our armies it is agreed by all, should be
scrupulously concealed. So of the numbers, posi-
ton and defences of cur troops But we are total
ly unable to appreciate the policy of withholding
the particulars of battle its casualties, &C., from
the public On the contrary we think it has q d.
rectly Injurious effect, in producing suspicion that
we avebeen greatly more damaged by the engage
meat than the facts would warrant.
Such has been the effect of the restriction upon
telegrsphic news with regard to the late battle at
Columbus, Kentucky. If we have suffered any seN
rous disaster at that point why not let the people
Of the Confederate States know it, that they may
meet it like brave men, as they are? We have no
idea that we have gained anything but a glorious
victory in that battle, but the publc at large have
formed the impression that the loss has been
much more serious, than at first repo-t>
ed, from the Introduction referred to.
If such be the fact, why should the fathers and
mothers brothers and sisters of the gallant voun>
taers, engaged there be kept in painful suspense,
during the pleasure of the officers in command
We see no reason for it, and we trust that the
Introduction will be removed. The Memphis Ap-
peal thus speaks on TIE subject:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Knowing the deep and intense anxiety which
would be felt by this community to receive intelt
Vence in detail from the great battle at Columbus
we made efforts last night to crafty them without
any regard for cost
One account of the affair had been allowed to
pass over the telegraphic wires TO a city cotempor
airy. Great was our surprise to be informed that
the operators at Columbus had been " forbidden to
send any report" to the Memphis Press at all, or
even TO allow any to come through correspondents.
We would like to know what this strange conduct
means? Are cur people, who had brothers, sons
and husbands the conflict, to wait for the official
reports of commanders TO be Informed reliably of |
the result, or has some disaster been sustained
which it is desired to conceal! Again we ask,
s6hGt does Il Tasan?

Defences on the Tennessee and Cumber-
land

We understand that the enemy's gunbosts were
within mile and half of Fort Donelson on Thurs
day last The necessity for powerful defences, both
Oh the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, are be-
coming more and more apparent every day. We
know not what is the strength of forces, IN the
field at those two points, but every man who is
alive to the Importance Of the interests involved,
must see that they should be so strong as to defy
any assault that the enemy may make upon
them. If there is not force enough there
now, it should be dispatched, without far
Their delay, net g moment should be lost. In
this connection we would suggest that q strict
watch be kept upon spies and traitors throughout
the State. We have heard, from reliable sources
that there are men in some portions Of the State,
ready to afford every facility to the enemy in their
movements. If apprehended in any act of "aid
and comfort" to the enemy, our own safety de-
mands that such miscreants be sumnarily dealt
with Let a strict watch be kept In this crisis Of
danger, when the enemy seems to be advancing in
all quarters.

Imporfnnt LegIsIatIon.

We referred on yesterday to the important Ques-
ton of providing prompt means for the defence of
the State against the threatened invasion of LIN
coins mercenaries. We are grstifsd to announce
that bill has already been introduced into the
Senate having for It's object the immediate inauguS
ration of such measures as will secure the arms
necessary TO our defence. 1t is to be hoped that this
bill will be promptly perfected in its details, and
enacted into law.
1t is likewise understood that bill is also being
perfected for the Immediate organization of State
force not to exceed ten thousand men, for active
duty. The services Of this corps are to be called
into requisition wherever they may be most effec-
lively employed. in the defence of Tennessee.
Both measures have a vital Importance in the
present aspect of AFFAIRS and we hazard the opinion
founded upon the evident temper of the Legislature
that both these important measures will be acted
upon, and speedily adopted in whatever shape will
most surely and effectively accomplish the great
object aimed at.
The announcement of such result would be re-
ceived, we doubt not, with universal qualification
1t will give an additional feeling of security to our
citizens, and viii of itself have the effect of impair
ing the confidence Of our enemies in the success of
their long cherished scheme of invasion. 1t is
much to be desired that these important measures,
in whatever form they may be matured and passed,
shall be enacted into laws at the earliest moment pos
siJ!e The necessity is apparent to all The ma
terial, out of which to construct this i'm
portant srm of our defence, is ready to be mould

be said to be Enow upon Us, and immediate action

Loss of the Lincoln Transport OsceoIa.

Capt Morrill,. of The Yankee Transport Steam
Propeller, Osceols, arrived here yesterday from
Georgetown, Is G. } in charge Of Captain Pinckney
and N zyck, and was taken to the Guard House
at which place we saw him, when in answer to
questions he made the following statement. The
OsceOla sailed from New York on Thursday, 0ctO-
Der 24th, for Hsmpton Roads, with cargo con-
sisting Of fifty head Of beef cattle, I've hundred
barrels of potatoes and sundries. arrived Fort
ress Monroe, October 9th, where eleven head Of
cattle were landed leaving thiry>nins on the vessel
At New York We were ordered to take on board
water and provisions for only fifteen days, which
made it evident we we're not to proceed South Of
the coast of Georgia, as such q supply would not
have answered for trip to the Gulf. Remained in
Hampton Roads until Tuesday, October 18th, when
the entire feet sailed, consisting of from fifty to
sixty sail Of vessels Of all classes, from the power
full steam ships Vanderbilt, Baltic, Wabash Min
nesOts and Roanoke, TO the ordinary sized tug
boat.
On Wednesday it blew heavily from the South
west lasting l2hOurs, when the wind changed North
west, and continued stormy, but the smaller vessels
were somewhat protected from its force by keep
ing close under the shore. Early on Friday the LIST
instant the wind shifted to the Southeast, and in
creased to most severe gale, in which the squad
ron got separated. While keeping close IN shore
esrly on Saturday, say between aud 3, a. N sthe
OsceOla got ashore on the Day Breaker, off the
North IslaGd near Georgetown, and in two hours
she bilged the cattle soon taking to the water and
many of them reaching shore. The vessel having
become wreck, the officers and crew, twenty in
number, took to their boats in which they reached
North Island, and were taken prisoners.
Capt Morrill, describes the gaze as very severe
and thinks that many of the feet must have become
disabled or lOst-some of them being old and by
no means capable of going through such weather.
He had no instructions directing him where to
proceed, his only orders being to follow the large
ships, and other Captains whom he questioned in
regard to their destination had only been directed
in the same way.
The Osceoa was owned in New York, and has
been engaged in trading from Cuba to Honduras.
Her tonnage was III. Capt NJ Informs that
some OF the large transports that left New York
took on board troops at that place. but be was not
informed as to their number and had no correct /
idea.
The wreck of the Oseeola was boarded on Nom \
day by the boats of blOcksding steamer Charles

from you cannot refrain from expressing my deep
regret that your health-shattered by long service
and repeated wounds received in your country 3

tire from your high position at this momeHtous pc
Rod of our history. Although ysu are not to re

Il has been my good fortune to enjoy q personal
acquaintance with you for more than thirty years

been greatly strengthed by your cordial and entire
cooperation in all the great questions which have
occupied the Department and cOnvulsed the country

GEN. FremOnu's Case.

Much as we have heard of the Fremont case, It
is difficult to state positively whether he has been
removed or not. 1t is yet matter of uncertainty.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette says:
1t is difficult to ascertain the precise posture of
the Fremont question. There is little doubt that
he will be removed, but it is doubtful whether the
order superceding him has gone West. Both the
statements sent you yesterday were probably true
The Cabinet voted to remove him upon the evil
dence embraced IN the Adjutant Generals report
but perhaps net unanimously. The final decision
was left with the President as in the case of Fort
Sumter. Up to noon to day he had not acted.
The Washington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press writes:
At a protracted Cabinet meeting to-day, the
Fremont difficulty was very fully discussed. Sec
rotary Chase, the only member of the Cabinet who
opposed Frem0nt's appointment at first, questioned
very seriously the prOpriety of his renewal at this
time. 1t was finally decided to send Judge Davis,
of Bloomington, Ill, personal friend Of the Presi-
dent, to St Louis, to examine the accounts of par
ties who have claims, and such he declares to be
right and proper will be paid forthwith.
Hon. John c. Covode had an interview with the
President to-day and assured him that the removal
of Fremont would seriously disturb good govern
ment in the army.

The Yankee Army in western Virgin

The Gallipolis (Ohio) Dispatch, paper published
on the Western border of Virginia does not approve
of the suggestion which has been made in seVera
quarters, to Withdraw the Yankee army from there
into Kentucky. It says:
If the forces in Western Virginia are drawn eff
at this time and directed elsewhere, it will be the
worst step that can be taken by the Government
unless it is the intention to give up Virginia We
regard Western Virginia as being in q more danger
Gus condition than for some months past. Armed
bands of SecessOnists spruging up in all direc
tons, and only waiting for the Federal troops
TO slacken their vigilance, when their works of
havoc will again commence. They are becoming
more desperate and daring in their movements THAI
ever. In fact instead Of Withdrawing troops there
is greater need o. sending more into Virginia.
