'iORYIsM.-l'hs miserable element OF human deprny-
ity is beginning exhibit itself in new colors in East
Tennessee since the operation Of the Copsrpt law in
that section.
The Morristown correspondent Of the Atlanta Con
ederacy, writing under date OF Sept. 18th, says:
in johnson county The followers OF Andy and Lin
coin, the traitor and ueurpr are dfant learn that
cutting up high shines shooting, yelling and hurrahng
fer Lincoln, are OF almost daily occurrence in some
places. Thy come into Taylorsvie, the county site,
in squads, drink liquor shoot into the dwellings Of true
Southern citizens; and men who have interpoged to
stop such tratcrouS proceedings have been shot and
stabbed, as | am informed ~Rho are you" they ex-
claim, but ID sec95sonst, aud an enemy to tie
Union 2? 1t is said that the sheriff. judges &c. are all
for the Union and bid dfauce to our cause nnd its
friends in that c0auty. How long must faithful true
Southern men be taunted, revil1d and spit up0n by
few miserable, uneducated, unrfnad and brutal tories
Should not the true Of Johnson Garter, ard other
unties bard together should not the government
send them assistance and let tie tories be cleared out
The Knoxville Registe" If the 18th says;
A gang of twenty-siX captured stampeders were
yesterday brought in and put n the jail to await such
disposition as the authorities may make OF them. We
earl they were from the upper part of JeoEsOn and
the adjoining counties"
The Register thinks there is method in she mad
ness Of these 9eudcd wretchCs. they do pot expect
to reach LncOlnd0m, for they as averse 10 the
Northern draft as to SOa hern' C0uecrpton. The
Register thuks it probable thai they PIT tGeDse7es ia
the way Of being captured Knowing that by undergo
lug imprisonment IN the South, with ratons and good
treatment, they certainly escape military duty.
1t is just such element South Carolina had to
deal with in '76; grandfathers hung the Williams
then to dogwood and back jack, for just sucn outrages
as these Johnson county toQes perpetratiDg-
II as hanging become so obsolete

The Northern Press on the War.

The New York Herald has very little tdtoriaIiy ex-
cept puffs Of Mcclellan, wbo it says is master
of the situation and has it in bis power to pluck the
cr6wning victory of the war; The Boston Argus begs
The Philadelphia Inquirer don't feel safe. 1t wants
Philadelphia defended. 1t says:
We have one hundred thousand men here capable OF
bearing arms of e,sffty thousand vigorous and
strong ten thousand have already respectable know
ledge of the drill, and be readily maCG1vred on the
field. In the event of an advance upon Philadelphia
these troops, aided by those which shall have fallen back
before the enemy, would make strong defence.
Positions should at once be chosen at the most vu
nerabe points of approach for artillery light tugs
should be in readiness for receiving with which
to sweep the Delaware, and, above ALL repeat, all
the ridiculous counercaims of commanders and Organi
cations should be set at rest 5y the sending of United
States General here to take command and by forcing
all those who are indifferent dsncncd to take their
places iu the ranks of the defenders as volunteers.
There will not be wanting those who, if the danger
pass will be inclined to laugh all the present prepar
alton and precauton but it will be the vacant laugh
of the fool who could not discern the danger sp be-
cause he escaped destruction The apathy, the conu
sion the want of confidence in military leaders, which
found in Philadelphia to-day, without parallel
and will remain until our advice is followed.
letter from New York, dated the 9th inst, says:
The exciting reports from the upper Potomac and
Maryland are making profound impression upon our
people There is panic it is true, and but little
tua excitement The feeing is too deep for either
Men feel for the first time that there is at least pos
sibiity that the refuent waves of the rebellion from
Richmond may sweep near enough their own hearths
and homes to make them realize what the horrors oil
war really are, and hence whist there is every conf
dence in the ability of General Mcclellan to beat back
the advancing hordes there is O general desire that
more energetic action should be had on the part of
municipal authorities and leading citizens to provide
for any contingency that may arise.

Gen. Mcclellan is universally and bitterly blamed
when they were ordered, Pope would not have been
compelled to fight with half his army against the whole

Sumner aud Franklin who only reached the field last

three days ago.
Mcclellan was three times ordered to move and re-

from the command of all troops, except those remain

When applied to by Gen. Pope On Friday, to send

We find the subjoined items in the Chattanooga
Rebel, of S8sturday:
Persons from Middle Tennessee report that when the
evacuation of Nashville by the FederaIs resolved
upon, Andrew Johnson wished to destroy the capital,
whica was opposed by Gen. Buell.. A dispute arose
between them the subject, which ended in personal
rencouuter, Andy coming out second best. We only
hope the report is true, and that Gen. Buell. while his
hard in, gave the blackhearted villain good drub-
5ing
DR.. G. A. Gowyn of this county, late surgeon of the
7th Oifs) Federal Tennessee regiment, arrived here
last night as prisoner having given himself up al

as entirely destroyed, being scattered to his own
Language, "to the four winds of heaven"
The latest information from Gen. Bragos army is to
the effect that after crossing at Carthage lie moved 10
the left and passed by near Gaatin. This course
very likely superinduced by the movements of he
retreating army of Buell.

Richmond is the seat OF justice ior Madison, of
the richest counties in the State About ten months
ago. when Zoicofer in that vicinity the citizens
of this gallant county held public meeting at which
they voted donation of 400 beeves with various other
articles of provisions, to the Southern army Recent
news from Kentucky gives the pleasing intelligence
that Richmond is row held by 5000 Confederate
troops.
Madison equity was the home of Daniel Boone, and
was settled chiefly by Vrginians 1t would therefore
be surprising if the descendants of Virginia slsvehold
ers did not generally take sides with the South.

yankee gunboat which lying quietly at anchor of
St Johns Bluff, the mouth OF St: Johns river,
vas sur ?rised by the opening of fire upon it from
Con!ed rate battery, which bad sprung into existence
during the previous night. So quietly and cautiously
had Gen. Finegan conducted bis movements that the
Yankees were without the slightest intimaon that auy
thing of the sort in process of construction. Tue
gunboat returned fire tor while and steamed d0wn
The river but returned bringing with her COM
panion in the shape of still larger and more formid
able appearing craft. Both boats then opened FIRE en-
our battery throwing shells with great rapdity- the
battery and field artillery stationed near by replying
vigorously and with effect Tie contest lasted about
four hours when the terrible gunboas retired from the
contest badly ridded aud crippled and made their way
without the reach of our guns.
We are without Information to the extent CT the
eaemy's loss in killed and wounded, but it must have
been considerable. Our loss was one man killed-a
member of Capt. Stewards Company, of Major Bre-
Yards Battalion Of ParIjzan RangetsIsOd four slight
being one of the number.
