More Arrests,

The Richmond Enquirer, of the Sd inst,
states that on last Friday evening, Col.
Corcoran and about 200 Yankee prison
ers from South Carolina, where they have
been confined, reached Richmond en-
route for Newport News, to be released on
parole. They were detained some hours
at Petersburg by the failure of the trains
to make connection. While there, I'M
usual civilities were shown them by few
persons-some inviting them to their
homes, and were warm and courteous in
their excessively hospitab.e demonstra-
tions. This was made known to the Co.
vernment, who at once, by Telegraph, Or
dered the prisoners into close confine-
ment, and ordered the arrest Of one of
their sympathisers-a Mr.. Scott.
The Enquirer says this circumstance JUS
titles the suspicion some time entertained
that the released Yankee prisoners car
ried off by the aid of tories, very impor-
tant information. This caused the prison
ers to be searched, when maps of Rich
mond, Manassas, and Virginia, with trea-
sonable letters, were found on their per-
sons, which no doubt had been obtained
that day in Petersburg. The prisoners
were promptly detained at Richmond,
and refused to be sent North till further
orders.
The E,a,qrer adds;
The discovery is likely to lead to fur
tier andmore dangerous developments
of treason in our midst. II Is proper to
say here that in thus receiving and Sc
creting this reasonable correspondence,
the officers upon whom it was found have
fiagrantly violated their paroles.

No Union Sentiment In Tennessee.

The following is copy of dispatch
from Chicago to the Northern associated
press:
A special dispatch to the Times, dated
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, 23d, gives a gloomy
account of the state of feeling there.
1t says there is but one Union man in
the town, he being sixty years old, or he
would have been killed long ago. Hon.
Cave johnson, who was powerful advo-
cate of the Union until the war COM
menced, is now as powerful on the other
side. 1. says the only effect of our sue
cess will be to drive the people of Ten
nessee into the mountains, and to render
them desperate.
There is no spark of the Union feeling
here, and nobody preiends to disguise
the fact. The people ofClarksvifle glory
in secession, and at the same time are
trembling lest the town should be burn
ed. There was large quantity of rebel
stores, portion of which was carried off,
and the remainder destroyed. The rebel
leaders shipped a thousand negroes last
week from GAINESVILLE.

hurt. We have had most bloody fight
there must have been five thousand to
seven thousand killed and wounded, on
be III sides. But the enemy surrendered
on Saturday evening, we taking about
thlteen thousand prisoners.
But, dear father, the hardest part Of the
story is, that out of eighty fve men in my
company, only seven came out-the most
wholesale slaughter that was ever heard
of.
My company was the color company,
at which the rebels took particular aim;
as fast as one man who carried it would
be shot, another would take his place;
but the flag was brought through. Only
