Tennessee.

Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, has, in obcd-

Government, called for $4,000 volunteers
from that State, 2j,DO0 to 60 into immediate
service. The 3O,OO0are to be held in reserve.
Concerning the organizing and drilling of
these he says:
al, Isham G.. Harris, Governor Of the
State of Tennessee, by virtue of the authority
in me vested by the above recited act, do is
sue this my proclamation, appealing to the
nalriotism of the people to raise, organize,
and thoroughly prepare reserve force of
thirty thousand volunteers, to be styled "the
Reserve Corps Of Tennessee" which shall be
organized into companies, battalions, regi-
ments ami brigadeS, and mustered into the
service Of the State and held ready to march
Mt short notice, but not put on pay or subss-
tcncc, or withdrawn from their ordinary voca-
tions until the necessity for actual service
shall arise, when they will be ordered on du-
ty and placed on the same footing of the 9th
er twelve months volunteers. Officers will
be appointed to visit the respective counties,
in which companies may be raised and organ.
lied, and muster them into service, after they
shall have reported themselves by companies
to the adjutant general. When thus mus.
tered into service they will be required to
drill by companies at least once week, and
by battalons and regiments as often as once
month, and when on duty will be subject to
the rules and articles of war"

Prince Napoleon at Ccntrcvillc.


The Richmond Dispatch Of Wednesday
says:
!" 4 gentleman who witnessed the review
of Confederate troops near Centrevlle, on
the occasion of Prince Napoleons visit, de-
scrlbcs it as an imposing spectacle. The long
line of troops included the serera branches
Of the service. cavalry, Infantry and artillery.
10 one accustomed to the grand military dis
plays in Europe it was no novelty; yet the
scence appeared to impress the prince with
a favorable IDEA Of the personnel OF our troops.
He seemed to he somewhat surprised at the
unanmity of sentiment existing at the South,
and thought it bodied n protracted war. When
he alluded to possibility OF 4 reconstruction
of the Union, he was told by the gentleman
ut his side that it WAS no more possible than
that the sun and moon could rcvolrc in the
same orbit. The prince was met on his ar
rival by Gen. BcaureSard, with splendid
escort of cavalry, and the same mark of cour-
tesy was rendered him on his return. lie
preferred, however, the escort OF two gentle
men, whom be selccted-Major c. II. Morgan,
of the third Tennessee regiment Elzcy's brig
ade, and Captain Charlton Morgan, OF the
same regiment. The last.named officer was
chosen in consideration Of the fact that his
father fought under Victor Emanuel in the
Garibaldi campaign. Capt. NJ. himself was
the Consul at Messina Sicily, position which
hc resigned when Lincoln was elected Presl.

A. Dudley Mann, one of the Confederate Com

Meanwhile the Mississippians discovering their
mistake, and being in some confusion, withdrew
from the ground. Finding that he was thus to.
tally unsupported, the other regiments composing
the brigade having left him, and after having
sent several couricrs to General Jones. without
response, Colonel jenkins determined TO retire.
He accordingly threw two companies upon the
brow of tho hill to protect his retreat, and then
slowly and in good order Withdrew his command
"Colonel Jenkins exhibited the greatest ralun-
try throughout The action, and considering that
the Mississppans made him their especial mark.
it is u miracle that he escaped. Ills stirrup was
struck by bullet, and the balls whisted around
him in shower.
"Within few moments after bis retreat the enemy
deserted their guns AID likewise retired, probably
under the apprehension that we had fallen back
to renew the charge, and it is supposed did not
return, MS they left upon the ground largo amount
Of luggage. There is no doubt that had the Mt
tack been continued we should have completely
routed the enemy, captured the battery at that
time, and have produced totally different result
from that which took place.
"Thc advance of the Carolinians was one of the
brarest and Loldest movements made during the
day. The discipline was admirable. Every man
appeared as cool and determined as if upon an
evening review, and not foot was stirred in re-
treat until the order was given by Col. Jenkins,
when it was reluctantly obcycd. When the news
was impaired to President Davis, he paid them
the high compliment of saying that none but
Carolinians would have made such charge"
