HUMPHREYS LIeHF ARrmLERY.-This ia
the name Of an artillery company Just organ
ized in Humphreys county, and mustered into
service, numbering 40 men, which will proba-
bly, be increased to 200. Rev. S NJ. Bgrne.
through whose exertions the company was
raised, has been elected 1st lieutenant. The
material Of this corps ia as fine as the country
affords, and will 20 doubt Justify in battle the
most sanguinc expectations Of its friends. The
captain will be appointed By the Governor In
connection with which position we have heard
the name O. Frank Nancy, Of this city, sug-
gested. He was educated at our military school
here, and has served some eighteen months or
two years in Italy, with Gsribaldi, in whose
stan be was when he left there a few months

so far IN this war, having sent as many. IL not
more, men into the field as any other county
in the State according to Population.-Eask-

Rebellion in Greene County.

The Knoxville Register, Of the 10Th instant,
saws
Blood has been spilled In Greene county, the
home of Andy johnson. The Lincoinites
have been keeping up the excitement there
drilling companies under the stars and stripes
of the United States, and threatening death
to southern rights men. Among the leaders
Of these TebelIlonists was a Capt. David Fry.
An order was issued for his arrest, and a de-
tachment of Capt. Jas. Fry's company, sta
toned at Midway, uRdsr his command, went
to make the arrest.
The Greene county LiBcolnites connived at
Dave Fry's escape, Capt. Jas. Fry arrested
several men implicated in the escape of his
Lincoinite Bsmesake, and it is supposed still
has them in custody. In retaliation, q party
Of near fifty Lincolnites attacked a force Of
twelve or fifteen Confederate soldiers stationed
A. Cedar Greek, killing one of them named
James Henegar, after which they relTeated TO
The bushes, and after firing several rounds,
escaped. This is the legitimate fruit Of Andy
Jobnsou'g treason. It is time that his coadiu-
tore in East Tennessee were brought to Justice.

The Memphis Daily Papers and the
new Postal Law.

The Tuscumbja Constitution gives the fol-
lowing well-timed advice to all who desire the
Memphis papers:
The people Of T~uscumbia have gotten into
the habit Of buying the Memphis daily papers,
from a private Institution called the "News-
boy" The appeal or -RUalaRche, bought Of
the newsb0y, costs tbirty-six dollars and a half
per year, whereas by msii it will only cost
twelve dollars and forty cents. By the news
boy all he dimes and quarters, at the rate Of
four or FIVE dollars per day, are carried out Of
the community and sold At ten to twenty per
cent. premium, and hence it is almost impossi-
bic to get A bill Of any sort changed, and it IS
too much 10 ask cur liberal merchants to 90
abroad and buy small change At ten to TWEEN
tY per cent simply for the accommodation Of
the public. Now, by the mail you can send
large bills and get ihesa papers, obviats our
small change difficulty, sustain the post Office
which you will be compelled to do finally, and
support the postmaster who resides and spends
his money in your midst. Let everybody sub
scribe at once for the Memphis daiiies, and
step this private Institution which costs Just
thr,bble, and much Inconvenience at home.

LSUsSVTAAE PROBABLY OCCUPIED
NV THE ENEMY.

We. learn that dispatches were received in
the city on yesterday from Nashville, stating
that it was rumored there that Louisville bad
bees occupied By the Federal forces. The at
taches Of the Memphis telegraph Office imme-
diately dispatched to Louisville to ascertain if
the report was true, and the operator there re-
fused 70 give any GHSUsr-thus furnishing
strong grounds for crsdIting its reliability.
We have been expecting the enemy to take
this move ever since the seizure Of Paducab,
and for that reason think that it may have
been contaminated. For several days past
large bodies Of LINCOLN troops have been
stealthily congrsgating at Camp Holt, opposite
Louisville, with the view, no doubt, Of COM
handing that place, and Of seizing it when
deemed eXpedien-.
We give the rumor, accompanied with these
corroborsting circumstances, for what it is
worth, leaving to the future the development Of
the truth.

see will be called upon, on the 5h of next
October, to elect a Supreme Judge, in place Of
Hon. Robert L. Caruthers, resigned. Hon.
Bromheld L. Ridley is a candidate for that

twenty years, and is very justly regarded one
Of the sblest chancellors ia the State. He is
a profound and learned lawyer, an upright
Judge and a worthy, clever gentleman, univer-
sally popular and beloved by all who know
him. He would be an ornament to our
Supreme bench, as he has been to every posi-
ton, private or public, to which he has been
assigned. He has four sons in this war, and
with them, bis noble heart is enlisted for our
independence. He made an able canvass
through Middle Tennessee urging our people to
vote for separation and Representation "

nent judge, an able and accomplished lawyer
and a worthy, clever man Oh the bench, let
them elect Judge Ridley.

The Point Of Interest.

We have nothing from our armies this morn
ing. On the Potomac our lines are close up to
the enemy-we've shaken our fist under his
noss-and yet he will not venture out from be.
hind his Notifications. Not so with our army
at Manassas, which stepped over It's batteries
and marched with a~lacrity TO meet the inva-
ders at Bull Ran, in ooen and fair fight. II
thew would but recipTocate The compliment, we
should have a stirring time Of it; but the enc
my will not attack, and we have for two ives s
had only sSiImishing. We take It for granted,
however, that our commanders will not be
content with that alone. Indeed, there are in
dications that something will be done Of a
startling character in a few days. What that
will be, remains to be developed. The s~trictest
vigilance is preserved in the intercourse be-
tween Richmond and the army Of the Potomac.
The passport privilege is cut off entirely to CT
villains, and even communication per mail
seems to be very much restricted.
From the Northwest the army at last dates
remained in the position it has occupied for
som weeks. There have been insuImountsbls
d faculties in the way Of advancing, and the
opposing armies have been cycling each other
closely. We shall hear soon, we conjecture,
Of some movement Of a decided character.

cislIy interesting since the engagement at

GEN. JOHNSTON ASSIGNED com.
WAND OF THE mISSISSIPEF VAL"
Lev.
The committee Of citizens from Memphis,
consisting Of Messrs. TATE, MUEFORD and
Dixon, who visited Richmond with the view
Of securing, if possible, the appointment Of
Gen. A. 6. JOHNSTON as COmmander-in-Chie
Of the Army Of the Mississippi Valley, send
the gratifying intelligence that their mission
has proven successful one, and that We may
expect that popular military chieftain to ar
rive ID this city in the course of a few days.
Il is useless 70 r~eiterate what We have re-
pested over and sgain-that this appointment
will give the most universal satisfaction
throughout tue Southwest as one most emf
neatly 1T to be made. Gen. JOHNSTON will
come among Us Not to achieve a military fame
upon a new field of enterprise yet untried by
bis genius, but with a prestige already cius-
tering about his reputation, which will inspire
our army with a degree Of unbounded conf
dence and Jealous enthusiasm, which, as yet,
they have failed to experience.
The advent Of Gen. JOHNSTON win give a
new impetus to military movements in tie
Mississippi valley, we believe, which will soon
be developed in tangible results, at once bril-.
liant, scientific aud satisfactory.

Gen. Butler, with 20, 900 or 10000 men and
a fleet, was sent to take possession Of Norfolk

would succeed, that we hourly expected tae

nothing but the disastrous affair at Bethel.
Two hundred and forty thousand men were
called for the same authority told us the work
would now be "sharp and short - the over
poweTing force would crush out the rebellion in
no time. But they have no. succeeded. Ninety
thousand men were collected about the capital
and drilled under the personal inspection CT
Gen. Scott railroads were built, telegraphs
and balloons brought into service, and millions
OF war material accumulated in the city 90 a
base OK operations. Daily we expected the
army to move that was to annlbilate he rebels.
But Gen. Scott, being an old soldier. was eau
ti0us be threatened to resign il lie was hur-
Tied He must have time 20 make Victory
doubly sure. So we waited. Two more
months rolled on, and finally the "Grand
Army" Of the Unisn, numbering nearly sixty
thousand, moved forward. 1t was considered

and determination Of the rebels. AIasl we
all know the sad and notifying result how
our army was routed, leaving their 4esd and
dying on the field, and fleeing in terror through
the streets OF the capital. and now we are
called on for i've hundred thousand men, and
money in proportion, with better results

with them in sentiment. Our informant was
greatly encouraged with what be saw and
heard. He was assured that large accessions
were daily being made to the southern cause
all over the State. The southern men in South
ern Kentucky had determined that they would
not ship their produce to Louisville. They de-
sired the South to have it, and if it is wanted
it can be had.-Nd5hOille URioa, 10Th.
