EAST TENNESSEE.

We had the pleasure yesterday of seeing in our
office gentleman just trom East Tennessee, on
his way to Fayetteville, his place of birth and resi-
dence
The gentleman Mr. McRae, brother of Col. D.
K. Necklaces had been out on visit to some re-
latives near Nashville, Tennessee, when the war
broke out, aud promptly entered cavalry corps
lust forming there, in which he has since been en-
gagged in active service in Eastern Tennessee and
Kentucky, and IN Western Virginia. securing the
country and looking out for torres.
He speaks of the great and favorable cha nge in
East Tennessee brought about by the mingled
frmness and moderation OF Gen Zollicoher s
course. The people in the isolated mount ain
regions cut off from intercourse with the world,
aud their prejudces had been artfully arouse ed by
stories representing the "seceshers" everything
bad that could be thought Of The people were
told that the Confederate troops would rob, steal,
and commit all manner Of depredations On the
contrary, the utmost respect for private rights
and private property enjoiped and observed.
Whatever the troops needed they bought and paid
for, and where the obstinacy of parties such
to compel the troops to seize upon food or tod-
der which had to be got, the things taken were
also paid for at fair valuation. The people were
thus enabled to that those who told them such
horrible tales of the secessonists bad deceived
them The people in what had been the most
dsatccted districts of East Tennessee either go
heart and hard with the State or al. any rate they
do not go against her. In some parts of East
Kentucky aud South Western Virginia the preju-
dice already spoken Of still remains; but not in its
original intensity. At first, in passing through
some neighborhoods, the troops would find all the
houses closed and not to be seen, and only
occasionally woman might be seen peeping out
from behind shutter or boy slipping away out
Of sight. That, in the most back ward places,
is changed, although the feeling is far from being
as good as it could be wished. There is this diff
ference however, between the disaffecion in East
ern Kentucky and that in places Ike Louisville,
the Ohio River In the one case it is attribut-
able to prejudice, the result Of ignorance and false
information; i'll the other it is the direct ex-
preston Of deliberate i-Southern feeling. The
prejudices of the mountaneers yield to better in
formation. The course Of the majority of the
Kentucky Legislature, and of such men Prem
tice, Holt, Andy Johnston, Guthrie and Critten-
den is nothing but cold blooded treason, and they
know it; consequently they are far inveerate.
and far more inexcusabe than those who erred
through want of knowledg - Wilmington Jour-

never would, under any circumstances, attack his
(Beauregards) forces. Rather afraid Of masked

HE UTTER ASSIMILATION OF THE UNION.
MIR Breckenridge, in his recent address, Gan
interesting portion of which we publish on the
lst pagc,) says:
The United States no longer exist. The Union
has dissolved. For time after the withdrawal
OF the Southern States, and while there was hope
the rupture might be healed, it might be assumed
that the Union not yet dissolved, and such
was the position of Kentucky in declaring her
neutrality and offering her mediation between
the contending parties. But time has ela2s-
ed, and mighty events have occurred which ban
ished from the minds Of reasonable men all ex-
pectati"n of restoring the Union. Coercion has
been tried and has failed. The South has mus
the North aud has been far more victorious The
fields of Manassa and Bethel, of Springfield and
Lexington, have worked with terrible and san

things and the new.
