Andy johnson and the Armed Exlles from
Rust Tennessee.

The Hon. Andrew johnson, of Tennessee,
said in his speech at Columbus last week, re.
ferriDg to visit to Camp Dick Robinson;
The other day, when stood in the pres
ence of two thousand Tennesseeans, exiled
like myself from their homes of comfort and
the families of their love, found that my
manhood and sternness Of mind were all
nothing and that was only a child. There
they were, my friends and fellow citizens of
my beloved State, gathered upon the friendly
soil of Kentucky, from the tender stripping
Of sixteen to the gTay-hairsd fathers of sixty,
all mourning the evil that has befallen our
land and our homes, but all seeking for arms
wberewith to 90 back and drive the invader
from our fields and hearthstones. | essayed
to speak to them words of counsel aud en-
couragement, but speech was denied me.
stood before them as one who is dumb. If
it be true that ont of the fullness of the heart
the mouth speaketh, it is also true that the
heart may be too full for the uLterance of
speech. And such were ours-two thousand
of US exiled Tennesseeans, and all silent !
Silent as a city Of the dead But there
was no torpor there. There were the bound
ing heart and throbbing brain there were
the burning cheek and the blazing eye, all
more eloquent than ever were the utterings
of human speech. Each of that throng of
exiles, who had wandered among the noun
tains and hid in their caverns, who had slept
in the forest and squeezed themselves, one
by one, through the pickets of the invader,
each was now offering comfort and pledging
fidelity to the other. Youth and age were
banding together in holy alliance that will
never yield till our country and our flag, our
Government and our institutions, are bathed
in the sunlight of peace, and consecrated by
the baptism of patriotic blood.
There were their homes, and there too is
mipe-right over there. And yet we were
homeless, exied Aud why2 Was it for
crime? Had we violated any law? Had
we offended the majesty of our Government,
or done wrong to any human being? Nay,
none of these. Our fault, and our only fault,
was loving our country too well to permit its
betrayal. And for this the remorseless
agents of that "sum of all villainies," Seces-
sion, drove US from our families and fresdes,
and made us exiles and wanderers. But the
time shall soon come when we wanderers
trU go homei Depend upon it, my friends,
this monstrous iniquty can not long subsist.
Some bolt of Heavens righteous vengeance,
red with uncommon wrath, will blast the
traitors in their high estate" But whatever
they may do--though they may ravage our
State and make desolate our homes, though
they convert the caves of our mountains into
sepulchers, and turn our valleys and plains
into grave yards, there is still one thing they
can not do-they never can, while God reigns,
make East Tennessee a land of sLdvosl

Balloon RecOnnOissnnces. es.

The Washington correspondent OF the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, in referring to Professor
loves balloon reconnoissances, says:
There have been occasions when Washing
ton was expected to be attacked by the en-
emy, when the balloon was sent up and re-
ported mo enemy near" and instead of a
whole army standing in line of battle all
night, they were permitted to enjoy nights
rest without the fear of being molested. The
balloon has also been used for directing shells
to points out of sight of the gunner. By as
cending in the air, the places where the
shells explode were visible, and, with a sig
nal, the gunner was directed to alter his gun
until the shells reached the right spot.
The enemy does not possess these means for
observing our operations, as there are no
practical aeronauts in the South, and even if
there were, very few possess the ability for
such purpose, as has already been proved
on this side of the line.
La Mountain, the boldest of our aeronauts,
has Just furnished valuable information to
the Government and General Mcclellan by a
late daring fight, which is thus described by
Washington correspondent;
"On Friday last it may be remembered, a
balloon was seen passing over Washington,
and it was thought by many to have started
from the rebel camp on an aerial reconnois-
ance; but as it subsequently descended in
Maryland, it proved to be the air. ship of La
Mountain, which had assembled from the
Union camp of the Potomac. 1t appears that
when La Mountain rose to certain distance
he cut the rope which connected his balloon
with the earth, regardless OF the danger, and
scared up to an elevation OF mile and q
half, and got directly over the rebel lines.
Here he was enabled to make a perfect OBJ
servation Of their position and all their
movements, the results of which he has COM
municated to head quarters, and which are
said TO be of the utmost Importance. When
La Mountain completed his observation be
threw out sufficient ballast to enable him to
rise 10 hight of three miles, when he fel
in with counter current which carried him
back in the direction of Maryland, thus pass
ing over Washington and coming down IL
