East Tennessee.

We find letter in the Richmond Dis
patch, of the Goth, written from Knoxville,
from which we make an interesting ex-
tract, as follows:
East Tennessee is thousand times
more interested in this movement, and to
be thousand fold more benefited by
conncxion with Southern Confederacy
than,any other portion of the State. In
Middle md West Tennessee the Grief dc
pendence of the citizens is in agricultural
productions, the best lands already being
under cultivation; and the experience of
the last two or three years has shown that
they are decreasing in value, or at least
that they have not yielded to that extent
to render them remunerative to the farm
err. But East Tennessee, in addition TO
the increasing value of her valleys for the
culture of wheat, and her hills for grasses,
| has untold treasures OF mineral wealth,
| such us iron, copper, zinc, lead, marble,
coal, with the best and most numerous
waterfalls for factory power, to be found
ON this continent, all of which, moreover,
still remain in that undeveloped condi-
ton as to insure to the enterprising CAPT
talists great profits from the beginning.
| While connected with the North, these
resources were made to fill the Golfers oil
Northern men, and these water privileges
were only regarded as so many romantic
spots. Though having better ores Of iron
than in Pennsylvania, and greater facili-
ties for manufacturing than all New Eng
land together, yet the monopolies oil
wealth there would for centuries to come
have kept East Tennessee from any com
pensating rivalry, and not then, until
they had exhausted their own resources
Even now the raw material of copper ore
is shipped to Boston for smelling when il
could, with rs much ease, be done at tho
mines at Ducktown. East Tennessee, ther
has a bright future before her in the es
Enlistment of the Southern Government
and ! might safely predict, that in tel
years she will far outstrip all New Eng
land in towns, factories. population
wealth, and beautiful mountain homes
Her watering places will be resorted to b.
thousands from the sunny South, dispcns
ing their wealth in our midst, and Great
ing cheerful, happy, social intmacies.-
Here, in these healthy retreats, institu
tons of learning would be established
and thus in an educational, as well as il
manufacturing and agricultural interests
she has all to gain and nothing to loos
from being in the Southern Confederacy
East Tennessee has been called the Swift
zerland of America. That name convey
the idea of rigid Presbyterianism or Cal
vanism, and with this is associated civi
and religious liberty. 1t is impossible
therefore, for citizens of such country t.
be anywhere else than foremost for tn
preservation and maintenance of just sucl
rights as we are contending for in tn
South. | know that abroad East Tennes
see has n bad name, on account of her al
tempted revolt. But it was brought abou
by few factious leaders, who kept tn
people deluded; and ere long the day o
retribution will come upon these leader
from an outraged people.

The steamer Freeborn will receive an ar
mament of riae1 cannon. She was expected
to return from Aqua Greek on Friday.
Immense quantities of provisions have
been, and are being, shipped over the Lou
isvile Nashville Railroad, to the iusurrec-
tionary States. The present Collector Of
Louisville, a secessiOnist, refusing to obey
the orders of the Treasury department, pro-
hibiting shipments of provisions South,
new Collector has been appointed, who will
enforce the prohibition. He will enter upon
his duties in a few days.
Fhe Governor has been advised of the
openly avowed purpose of large armed
force Of Tenuesseeans to make a rush to
Louisville, the moment an attempt IS made
to force the embargo there and stir up, if
possible, an insurrection along the line, and
take possession of the Nashville road. The
Tennesseeans expect, and would doubtless
obtain, a strong support from the Ken
lucky precipitatorS and their open abet-
tor, Governor Magoffin. 1t is to guard
against this, and the Government con-
templates ordering the Kentucky brig
ade to Nashville to CO. operate with the
Union men of the State at large in resisting
the invasion of Tennesseeans, bat it appears
that very strong prejudice exists in Ken
tucKy against the brigade. A large number
of its members hailed from Ohio, and the
Keutuckians are most of them from border
towns and counties. Only a small portion
of these are natives of the State. The seces-
sioniSts have been in the habit of represent
ing the whole brigade as consisting of bogus
Kentuckians ! this is unjust, but there iS
enough truth in that to give coloring to a
great deal of scandal. Any other federal
troops indeed would be more acceptable to
the Union men of Kentucky. This being
understood at the War Department, the
Kentucky brigade will be ordered here, and
a home guard like that in st. Louis will be
organized, and armed at Louisville. This
wise determination will remove much diff
Guilty and apprehension.

WASHINGTON, June Sit is understood

SPECIAL TO THE POST.
All dispatches announcing that hostiities

back Of Arlington Heights, SO that troops
can be instantly concentrated al any point.

The New York Sixty-ninth Regiment,
