tenn OF political espionage and terrorism which
has been for some time exercised IN yhaI town in
connection with a gentleman supposed to be d.
rectly or indirectly connected with The Southern
or seees-ionIst States OF North America. We
have heard of one gentleman being constantly
logged by private " detectives for many mo-ths
past. All visitors to his residence aad place of
business have been carefully iesutinized, and it
Is supposed that owing to " information receiy-
90" from Liverpool, many persons, friend. OF
the gentleman above alluded to, have been
seized and searched, and in some cases ipprison-
ed immediately uPOn their arrival at Boston and
New York.
Employees, it is said, have also, IN some cases
been tempered with, and even The privacy of
correspondence and Of business affairs has been
mysteIously violated. We have also heard Of
cases in which goods sent from liverpool for
shipment by suspected " firms have been
watched from The manufacturing districts to the
Liverpool dock aaays, and in some instances it
is more than limited that packages and cases
have been opened furtively ea r0ute, aud their

Federal Intelligence rrom KenrueL,

From the Louisville Democrat
Mr.. VIM. r. Tracy and Capt. Cross, of the
Second last Tennessee Regiment, arrived Al
London, KY, on the Sd inst. sAbout weeks
ago they left Camp Dick Robinson with two
other parties, went 10 tennessee on business.
accomplished their purpose, and reached Lon
don, on the way back, without any trouble.
They penetrated into the very heart of East
Tennessee, and report that there are routes from
Kentucky into Tennessee through which this
column may be pushed almost without obstrue-
ton, and they are ready to guide il They
furthermore state that large numbers Of loyal
people are resdy 10 cooperate with US, with arms.
and that The country is full Of subsistence.
Captain Cross saws there is 70 military reason
why a column Of ten or twelve thousand men
could not be pushed through, even TO Northern
Georgia and both gentlemen state that the Sc
cessionists are much alarmed. They had lust
heard of Zolicofer's repulse, and il was magni-
fed ten fold. Mr.. Tracy describes their condi-
ton a that OF a teuOr-stTichen people. He
learned that ZOllicotfer has 1900 men at Cum
berland Ford, 1900 at Knoxville for reinforce
ments, but most Of them were poorly armed and
equipped.
Mr.. Tracy states that although the Union peo-
pe of Tennessee are armed with rifles, they have
no powder, and are therefore unpreparedt to fight
but they will Join the army when they are
properly armed and supported. The route by
which he proposes to guide the army is rough,
but not impracticable; while it affords ample
subsistence for an army, with fine mountain DO
sitions for defense. In short, the statements Of
these gentlemen, who are indorsed by the Ten
pesseeans Of Gen. Schoepf's command, satisfy
those who have heard them that an energetic snd
saOscious commander could drive a wedge be-
tvTsen the armies of Zolicoffer and Bucknor,
into the very heart of Tennessee.

EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF FEDERAL
PRTNONERN

A number Of the Federal prisoners, captured
g, the battle of Belmont, we learn. will arrive in
the city sometime duringto-dsy from Columbus.
Il viii not be out Of place TO suggest to our
citizens the improprio,y OF insulting these men
rag0ugh the streets OF Memphis. Let no tauni,
or jeer OF insult be offered by the p~opulsce that
may witness them in their helpless state Of cap
tivity. They are prisoner of war, and should at
least be treated with the charity of silent pity.
