Mr. Buchanan does not conceal the fact that
he is preparing to launch a thuuderbOt upon
the country, either before or after his DEATH
in the shape Of a history OF his own tine, and
a yiudcation OF his administration. In this
great work he is assisted by eX Attorney Sen

Washington, and bis late private secretary,

paid receUt visit to WhCatand but Mr.
GOSsbrennef is the more active collector and
compiler of the materials iOr the forthcoming

past prescriptions and present penitences.

letter he cannot wipe out his black and bloody
record, he will certainly be able to do SO when
his book makes its appearance; and i'll order
to effect this he is putting forth his teelers, to

caught by this last trick Of the sly old Rey-

made to flow as an obiaton 10 bis unmitigated
and remorseless despotsm how he refused
to listen to the earnest invocations OF his best

continued 10 strike at every one, high aud

Mr.. VIM. Il. Tracy and Capt Cross of the
st tcOnd East Tennessee regiment arrived at
London, Ky, on the 3D. inst. About two
weeks ago they left Camp Dick Robinson
with two other parties, went TO Tennessee on
business, accomplished their purpose, and
reached London, on the way back, without
any trouble. They penetrated into the very
heart OF East Tennessee, and report that there
ar routes from Kentucky into Tennessee through
aCdich this column may be pushed almost ooittom
obstruction, and they are ready to guide a. They
furthermore state that large numbers Of loyal
people are ready TO cooperate with lis, with
arms, and that the country is full OF subsist
euee.
Capt. Cross says there is no 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
secessiOnists are much alarmed. They lad
just heard of ZollicoHer's repulse, and ii was
magnitied tentold. Mr.. Tracy describes their
condition as that of a terror stricken people.
lie learned that ZoliicOffer has 1900 men at
Cumberland Ford, 1900 at Cumberland Gap,
and about 1900 at Knoxville, for reinforce
ments, but most of them were poorly armed
and equipped
Mr.. Tracy says that although tie Union
people OF Tennessee are armed with rifles,
they have no powder, and are therefore unprc-
pared 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 impracticabe, while it
affords ample subsistence for an army, with
fine mountain positions for defense. In short,
the statements of these gentlemen, who are
endorsed by the Tennesseeans OF General

The visit was suggested by the president, or

a northern sentiment in English and French

Edward Everett and Bishop McIlvaine will

the historian, who deservedly stands so high
in Europe, will also make visit, before the
hard winter sets in to the English capital.

Correspondence of the Richmond Despatch.
RIcnMoND, Nov. 5.--I have been favored
wilma brief synopsis Of portions of General
Beauregard's report Of the battle of Manassas
which has been forwarded 10 the department
and which will doubtless be published in
short time. Gen. Beauregard opens with a
statement of his position antccedent to the
battle, and of the plan proposed by him to the
government of the junction Of the armies Of
the Shenandoah and Potomac, with Il view to
tie relief Of Maryland, and the capture of the
city OF Washington, which plan was rejected
by the president, Gen. B states that he tele-
graphed t.ie war department on the 18Th July,
OF the contemplated attack by Gen. Mellow
ell, urgently asking for junction Of General
Johnston's forces with his own, and continued
to make urgent requests for the same until
July H. when the president consented to or.
der Gen Johnston to bis assistance. General
Beauregard goes on to state that his plan OF
battle assigned to Gen. Johnston an attack on
tie enemy on the left, at or near Cehtreyille,
while he himself would command in front;
but the condition Of the roads prevented this.
1t was then decided to receive the attack of
the enemy behind Bull Run. After the en-.
gagcment at Black urue's Ford, on the 10th,
Gen Beauregard was convinced that Gen.
McDowelPs principal demonstration would be
made on our left wing, and he then formed the
iJea of thowinr forward sufficient force. by
couverging roads, to attack the enemy re-

of tbe latter became inextricably engaged on

THE TwENTY-FIRsT REGnENT.-Colonel
Morses regiment, which has for some time
had its quarters in the naval buildings at An
napolis, left them on the 4th inst. for their
new camp ground, some two miles from the
state house, and in full view Of the city, where
they have pitched their tents, and are again
living as they were at Camp Lincoln. From
private letter, riIten by member of the
regiment, we learn lhat the situation is much
better than it was in Worcester, as it is on
gentle swell of sandy land, covered with grass,
and has a background Of woods, and little
creek running briskly by. The owner of this
field is a secessionist, as are most OF the farm
ers in the vicinity, who are unwilling to sell
anything 10 the soldiers. The climate is mild,
though there are frosts as in New England.
The health OF the regiment remains good.
