Late from Zolifcotfer's Command.

The Knoxville Register, of Saturday, is indebted
to Mr.. J. N. Thomas, of the Tulloss Rangers, of
Col. Branner's Cavalry Battalion, direct from Gen.
Zollicoffers camp, for the following particulars of
the movements in that region:
Gen. Zocoffer has crossed the Cumberland
river at Mill Spring, and advanced some four miles
on the road to Somerset. The enemy is reported
to be from four to six thousand strong some miles
beyond Somerset. On Sunday last there was a
skrmish between our pCketS and the pckets of
the Linconites, at Somerset the result of which
was that thirteen Lincolnites were killed. and four
teen taken prisoners. On our side no casualties
occurred, except one man wounded and a horse
killed. Among the Lincolnites killed was one Lieu
tenant. The enemys piGkets, both killed and
wounded all belonged to the Seventeenth Ohio
Regiment. Capt. Henry Ashby was in the skir-
zier took q grey headed Ohioian prisoner. who
complains that after he was disarmed he was
called ON Ahoionist, a charge which he indig-
ne 1tly repudiates. The army under Gen. Zolli.
Golfer are reported to have entire confidence in
him. and are eager to be led against the invaders
The health Of his command is excellent, and his
forces well provided for.
A company Of Incolnite cavalry on picket al
Fishing Greek were also attacked by our cavalry
on Sunday, and chased six miles, strewing the road
as they went with guns, blankets and pistols, which
our brave boys deliberately gathered up. Among
the arms thrown away by these panic stricken
Northerners were several Colts rifles.
The people throughout this section of country
profess to he Southern Rights men, and furnish
gladly subsistence to the Southern army at the or
dinary prices The day of Kentucky's deliveranct
from the thraldom Of the Northern barbarian
would seem to be at hand.

TIE UTLEY GuN.--It must be obvious we think
to every observer, that this is by far the most eff
fective cannon that has yet been invented exceed
ing in its power of destruction the most formidable
weapon known in modern warfare. 1t is the in
vention of Mr.. Utey, an ingenious citizen of North
Carolina, under whose superintendent rled six
pounder has just been finished at the shop of the
Petersburg Locomotive establishment. 1t was
tried on Wednesday afternoon, and its performance
exceeded even, the most sanguine expectations, of
the inventor. With charge OF one pound of
powder it will send ball about five miles: but its
distinguishing merit consists in its being breech
loading, by which it may be fred with rapidity
unknown in artillery practice, without any of the
damage attendant on muzzle loading. II would be
inexpedent to give a minute description of this
gun-sufce it to say that, in all its parts it is
model of ingenuity, and reflects the highest honor
on the mechanical genius of the inventor. BY
order of the Ordnance Department it will be
placed next week in charge of Gen. Huger, who ia
directed to prove it and make report on its
merits. As we have stated, this is r1ed gun, and
it is made of wrought iron. In workmanship it is
of the most perfect finish. Its weight is a little
over 500 pounds But it may be made of cast as
well of hammered iron, of any desirable size,
| and used for all the purposes to which other guns
| are applied, whether rifed or smooth bore. With
| a small armament, each gun discharging canister
and grapeshot at the rate of Is or 20 times min
ute, battery might be defended against any as
sault that could be made upon it.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA NEGROES AND Is HUMAN
FREEDoM.H-The newspapers have published most
exaggerated accounts of the coming in of slaves at
Port Royal. From several gentlemen who have
recently returned from that port We learn facts
which are to be relied as true. The negroes
have come to the fort to sell provisions, poultry,
etc., and their supplies have been bought Others
came from curiosity, apd loitered around awhile,
going away again when they pleased. About one
hundred and thirty remain in the fort having been
employed to work, receiving rations and eight dol
lars q month. The total number that have come
in on any and every pretext does not exceed three
hundred and fifty. No indication has been given
of any desire to accept liberty as permanency,
Their attachment to their masters and the families
to which they belong does not seem to be difnn.
shed, and there are large numbers-probaby
thousands OF them-in the neighborhood who have
not come into the fort at all. No reliance is placed
on any information they give. The army officers
appear to think there is some reason for the South
ern law of excluding negro testimony. The re-
marx Is very common that negro will answer a
question precisely as he thinks you want him to-
unless he has an end of his own to serve when
that will determine his reply. The idea of putting
muskets into the hands of such men as the slaves
OF Port Royal is considered ridiculous as military
proposition and can be regarded only in the light
OF proposal to incite them to murder their mas
ters and mstresses, which no one who has seen
them believes they would do. 1t is said that visit
to South Carolina has already opened the eyes of
| many gentlemen, of former abolition inclinations,
to some new facts in slavery.

CURE FOR SPRAISs,-In the Paris hospitals,
treatment is practced that is found most success

piled by the most Inexperienced. If the ankle is

VIRGINIA DARE.
She stands before us like thing of dreams;
The glory of her thought u on her face
And brokenly the tender sunlight streams
Der the rapt wonder of her virgin grace:
Lo! the clasped hand; the faint and sbadowy
trace
Ofbashful thought through all her woodland
guise;
Pure, starborn dewdrop, that some nowerets
vase
Holds up to heaven beneath the morning $
eyes,
That, trembling first. grows calm In soften ned,
sweet surprise.
Hist! twas tho carol OF somo wakeful bird,
Or Natures vnices wo0ing in the low
Sweet tone Of flowers her lettering foot has
stirred;
Dr. winds are wailin DER the buds that glow
In chosen glades, and fear lest she may go;
Or from the brook her Indian lover quaffed
(Iorc chill TO him than Sewell's mountain snow
Since beauty passed. the rival zophyrs wafl
Ger echoing waves his sighs that young Vir'
ginla laughed
No. It's the magic OF u holcr thought;
Fixed in new wonder by fond mem ries given,
Home, and the song her English mother taught.
Float with the sound, and lift those eyes TO
heaven;
SO the fair Eve, on earth's bless'd day OF seven
Stood forth botwixt young Adam and the
morn,
Ere mortal touch, or taint of earthly leaven,
Or that sad sense IRON evil knowledge born,
Had frayed the enraptured soul that thrilled
her to adorn.
Ye arbiters ofcslling and true fame,
Transators Of dvinitics ye blend
From faith aud hope in Freedoms household
name;
Yo judges stern, whom sophistries offend,
Here view the grace that womans hand can
lend
To all yc love; who, where eternal Rome
Bids artists souls TO loftier themes ascend,
Could mould the tale of dear Virginias home
And love her native land beneath II foreign
dome.
