SOLDIERS LEARNING MUsIC.- Col. Turchin,
Of the 10Th Illinois regiment, encamped at
Elizabethtown, KY, has engaged the services
OF Professor Riddle, of Louisville, to teach
instrumental and vocal music 10 the regi-
ment.
The above is from the Louisville journal Of
the 10Th instant. 1t ought to be Authentic,
if for no other reason than that the editors
Of that paper are the most subservient lick
spistles the Northern despotism has any
where. But the Journal is en- incorrigible
liar. In times past, We always waited till
its statements we're confirmed, before we
would publish them in relation to matters OF
fact. We trust the above, however, is true.
professor Riddle, of Louisville will, OF
course, learn 'the 18th Illinois Yankes Doc
de and the Star Spangled Banner. That will
be done III camps. On the field we will dis
pehse with their musical attachments, and
when they are Southern prisoners, they will
learn from our negroes the tune Of Dirie In
the meantime, we advise lie Professor to
look out.for his pay.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER p, 1861.
Cumberland Cap.

The Montgomery (Ala-, Nal exhibits some
uneasiness relative to the proposed expedi-
ton against East Tennessee, through Cum
berland Gap, by the Federalists. 1t appears
TO be well informed about the topography of
The country, in that section OF East Tennes-
see, but is evidently labOring under mistakes
as to the movements of our forces. 1t says !:
Gen. ZolIicoffer is driven cut of Kentucky,
and Cumberland Gap left open to the Inva-
ding foe. Why did Z0llicoffer abandon this
gorge? He must have reasons for it, and we
can see none except that he felt utterly una
BILE to defend it agains. the overwhelming
forces which be must have known were COM
ing against him.
1t is a mistake to say that Gen. ZoLLICoF-
FER was driven out of Kentucky" He
might have maintained his ground in that
State, but, for strategic reasons, fell back to
Cumberland Gap. which he can hold against
any force the enemy can send against it. In
stead of abandoning the Gap, he has fortified
it, and retains a sufficient force there to
keep the enemy in check, whilst The remain
der OF his command is doing efficient service
elsewhere. His movements have not been
chronicled by the press for the reason that it
is believed the safest policy to let the enemy
remain in ignorance of them. The Nat may
rely npon it, there is not the least probability
of the Lincoln army entering East Tennessee
by the Cumberland Gap, or any other Gap
within the department of Gen. ZoLLcoFFER.
Whenever it makes the attempt it will be
broken to pieces and scattered.
Much of the feeling which exists in the
more Southern States touching the danger OF
invasion through East Tennessee, has grown
out of the exaggerated accounts of the mem
bers engaged in the recent burning CT
bridges, and reported to be under arms and
marching to the aid of The Federalists. The
conspiracy was really confined to but COM
paratiTely few ignorant men, deceived by
designing and knavish leaders, and it has al
ready been efIcctQally crushed out" We
SHALL have 10 further trouble with them. The
deluded men who passed over into Kentucky
during the summer, and were organized into
regiments at Camp Dick Robinson, If they
have not already "seen the elephant and re-
pented Of their folly, will soon do so. We
have no dobt the greater portion Of them
would row gladly lay down their arms and
return to the peaceful homes they abandoned
in an hour Of excitement, were they not
afraid. The late retreat from London to !
Grab Orchard, so graphically described by |
the correspondent of the Cincinnati C0nansr-
ciGl, shows TO what hardships and suferings
they are exposed, and it would be unceason-
able to suppose they prefer such a life to
that which they might be leading under the
aegis Of the Confederate States. They de-
serve to suffer for permitting themselves to be
misled by Andy johnson and his coadjut0rs;
and are beyond the pale fpublic sympathy.
They are neither to be feared nor pitied. Ex-
lies and traitors to their State they must
keep ontside of her borders.

"yashvflIe True RInes. ;,

This company of yolunteers was organized
yesterday by the election of the following
officers
John Porterfeld, Captain; Alex. Porter,
1st Lieutenant; George D. Crockett. ID Lieu
tenant: D. A. Allison, Sd Lieutenant; II. B.
Buckner, lst Sergeant; a. R. Brown, I'd
Sergeant; l.. p. Rutland, Sd Sergeant; John
B. Smith, 4th Sergeant. This is one of the
very best companies that Nashville ever
furnished for any campaign. 1t is composed
of gentlemen OF the highest intelligence,
worth and gallantry, and if we mistake not,
will make its mark whenever it is called to
meet the foe in the field.
The officers are worthy of such compa
ny. and both they aud the privates may mu-
tually congratulate each other, the one on
commanding such company, and the COM
pany on having such officers to command.
We learn that there are yet few vacancies
in the ranks, which may be filed by appli-
cation to the lst Sergeant, or by attending
at the meeting of the company this evening
at Z o'clock at their armory.- Union and

Ine Supply gOf Salt.

The editor of the Augusta Chronicle & Sen
Hns, writing to that paper from Milledge-
*file, says:
have b, en- furnished by the President of
the Senate with the information liz regard to
The quantity OF salt in Georgia, given him by
q di>tiD guish, citizen of Savannah. This
information will be entirely new TO the peo-
pie of the State, and will convince them that
they have been subjected to the grossest out
rage at the hands Of spectators in this ar
ticle Of prime necessity. We have all been
made to believe that there was a great scar
city of salt, while the facts prove that the
supply is larger than usual The gentleman
from Savannah writes that he has seen
statement Of the export OF salt from Liver
pool TO Savannah, fer the years IS5O-60 and
1861, made by Blount, English and Brandon,
ship brokers, Liverpool, and this statement
shows n excess for 1S60-6I of 69, $40 sacks.
The gentleman learus, also, from the best in
formed sources, that the re-export of salt
from Savannah Is less for 1861, by 10000
sacks than for the previous year-ihus show
ing total supply for the present year of
109, $40 sacks in excess OF the supply for the
past year. This amount OF excess is amply
sufficient to cure faro millions Of hogs. l hope,
then, We shall see grand tumble down in
the price Cf salt

LATER NORTHERN ADVICEs.
a Turn in the Kaleidoscope,
Lord Lyons QIIiescent.
WASHINGTON. Nov 81 Isf

WASHINGTON, Nov. q. 1861.
Lord Lyons has made no offensive COM
ment upon the Mason and Slidell affair. The
reports TO the prejudice of that Minister
which have been put in circulation are posi-
lively coDtradicted in diplomatic circles here,
AID it is quite certain that Lord Lyons will
commit no breach of courtesy. If he has
any communications to offer they will be
made in an official form, but there is no indi-
cation that such action is contemplated. The
facts in the case are very clear, aud that cur
Government ought to seize the rebel COM
missioners is too clearly established to admit
Of much argument.
The report that the Spanish Minister said
he would have demanded his passports, b ad
Messrs. Mason and Slidell been taken from a
Spanish vessel, or that he entertained such
an opinion, is untrue.

The IsIaeia Flag in WAR.

We ind the following just and suggestive
paragraph in the Charleston Courier" of
Tuesday:
War il its best estate is war, and is horri-
bic enough. If we must meet invaders, let
Us meet them with all the mitigation which
invasion affords. To say that no prisoners
ere 10 be taken under any circumstances, is
which both sides will suffer uselessly. The
cry Of determination, black flag, and no
quarter. IS shouted most vocifero1sly by some
who are eSading any kind Of war. People
who fight are willing enough to accept war
of rules, as long as possible, and if they
catch thieves and incendiaries, they can
readily discriminate against them ia favor OF
prisoners of war

carora, on her way up the Mississippi river
from New Orleans, took fire on Saturday at

to prevent the explosion OF the magazine,
but the shells on board commenced to ex.
plode in few minutes after the fire COM
menced. Their explosion fred the negro

we'll as the tops Of trees on the bank of the

has had every opportunity of gathering cor
rect information in regard to affairs in that
quarter, and are pleased to learn that the
Publications at that place are so far COM
pleted as to insure it against any attack from
the enemy. Heretofore it has been fortified
only with regard to an attack from the Ken

The Yankees and Cotton Picking.
Little Delaware TO have a Slice Of Virginia,
MEXICAN AFFAIRS, &c.

WASHINGTON, November 20.--A dispatch to
the Tribune says
The soldiers at Beaufort and the slaves on
the island will soon be picking the ungath-
cred cotton; the former under an order from
the government, and the latter upon the i'm
pulse of wages directed TO be paid to them
BY General Sherman. 1t Is also probable
that the cultivation of the sea island for the
next cotton crop will be contracted for by
some responsible Yankee, who will be re-
uuired to employ the slaves abandoned by
their masters, upon the several plantations.
4 new punishment for Virginia is at hand.
Congress will probably be called upon to
change the territorial boundaries of Della
ware. so as to give this little State all the
land between Chesapeake Bay and the Della
ware river, and TO change the boundaries of
MARYLAND. so as 10 give her all the eastern
counties of Virginia and TO leave to the
State of Virginia, as organized by the Con-
vention of Wheeling, the territory between
the Blue Ridge and the Ohio river.
Private but trustworthy advices from Eu-
rope in relation to Mexican affairs, have
been,received. Spain and the Spanish party
in Mexico have resolved to impose king
upon that country at the point of the bayo-
nent. OF three princes, Monte is the favor
ite Whether England and France have ful.

lieved that our government has taken any

Spain from acquiring a country which is
surely destined to be ours.
