How Long win the War Last I

The question is frequently propoundsd, how
long vii! this war continued Il is difficult
10 answer this question. And when We re-
sPoDd to IL, il Is guess cork with US, for the
most part. sill, We have reflected much
upon the subject, and We have formed opih-
ions. We believe the war viii continue dur
ing the administration Of LIscoLS, say four
years longer. Ia the next Presidential race,
there viii be two candidates In ihe old Gov
ernmeut--one for carrying on the war, and
the other peace candidate, and the latter
will be elected by an overwhelming majority,
for by that time, the real people will all be
sick Of the war, and clamorous for peace,
upon almost any terms.
These are our opinions, formed upon the
faith Of the lights be.ofe as, and we give them
for what they are worth. In the mean time,
thousands of lives will be lost on both sides
some on the battle feld, and some from
sickness and exposure. Great suffering will
be experienced. Vice will stalk abroad with
unblushibg effrontery. And general bank.
tuptcy will ensue, both North and south
Our voice is therefore for stopping the war,

The Knoxville Rsgfst9 undertakes to give
list of the names ofGnion men who have
gone over into Kentucky from East Tennessee,
and adds
Mr. Boyd, the Lseoiaits frusn Carter, stated 10 Mr.
Nelson that he started At hight from BTownews house.
In this city, 60 eross into Kentucky.
This statement is wholly untrue. No man
by the name of Boyd, or by any other name,
from Carter county, OF any other county, has
started from our house to Kentucky, any
night within the last six or twelve months
This statement has been manufactured TO or
der, as most of the statements in that paper
are, We have no idea that any man ever told
the poor Devil of the Register any such thing.
If he were told so, II Was by some one con-
cerned in forging the johnson letters to Amos
Lawrence. That was a bright operationl
And yet, the corrupt scoapdreis who perpe-
irated the forgery, walk these streets In day
time, and denounee Union men as Lincoln
ties. The Rsgister knowing all about the for
gerry, and the attempt TO steal Lawreuees
money, parsded II before the public as evil
dence strong as Holy Writ, of Johnson's abo-

nessee.
The whole truth in relation 10 these officers,
and their operations here, and the real ground
Of complaint against them, We will state in
plain words, aud without any effort At displsy.
True, We have never been in theu Camps. nor
have they visited us, though We have been
close observer OF what has passed The only
poison We have ever poured in the ears Of
either or any of the military men in command
here, was tn send message by an Aid, to one
Of the Generals, TO please order the Cavalry
to desist from riding their horses rapidly, or
otherwise upon the sidewalks of the two
leading streets in East Knoxville. This We
did as Mayor.
But these Generals have both acted With
promptness, and 6rmness--doing what they
believed TO be their inty--alike protecting the
rights Of citizens and soldiers. We have not
heard their conduct eensnFed, but spoken of
in terms Of praisg except By the sltra Seees-
sion ctsqas here, who seek 20 eontrol every
thing and every body, for their own base and
selfish ends. These Generals have done a
great deal towards calming down the troabled
elements, and recenciling the people Of this

they have committed. We have here, COW.
