W-Our troops have advanced to Cumber-
laud Gap and taken it, finding it deserted by
the rebel gsrrison. Relief has thus como to
East Tennessee. Persons who have arrived
from there for the last two weeks have agreed
in their statements that the rebels had ahan-
doned that potion of the State. We may
thus hear in few days that the important
connection between Richmond and New Or
leans, via Knoxville, has been cut off, Hold

aEThe Chicago papers say the uniforms
of the Confederate prisoners are just no uni
forms at all, lacking all the characteristics Of
infantry, cavalry or artillery costume, in be-
ing wholly ununiform IN color, cut, fashion
and manufacture. Some have coats Of a but
ternut color, cut in regular sacque style, and
others fashioned like those of our soldiers, as
jackets or frocks, The pants are as diversi-
fie1 in color. Many Of them have no over
coats at all and supply their place with horse
blankets, hearth-rugs, coverlids, pieces Of car
pet, coffec-sacks. etc. Their knapsacks con-
sist of bags Of all colors and sizes, comparing
well with their coats and hats. The same
remarks apply equally well to their canteens
and other accoutremcnts, no half dozen Of
which seem to have been made at the same
mandatory.

80 DEsxolNEs, Feb. %.
Yesterday the House sent up to the Senate
resolution to instruct our delegation in Con-
gress to use their exertions to cause Gen,
Baker, our Adjutant General, to be appointed
Brigadler General In the Senate, thu. first
motion was to strike out all after certain
words, which was done; and then it was NOV
Ell to supply by inserting ''the following list"
which was the list of'he Senator'S. This was
aired. Then the thing was laid on the ia
ble This was nothing Of itself, but think Of
the Legisiature voting to have him appoint
ed Brigadier General, just when we have SO
many in the actual field, who have staked
their lives, ana have conducted so bravely, so
nobly No one wished to do anything
against Gen. Baker, but how could they place
him abous the men in the felds They were
entirely willing to vote him thanks, and hon
or too, in some other shape, but suppose the
Legislature had done this; wha; would tho
men-the Colonies, in active service, have
saidg Would they not have reason to CON-
plain that q man 1t home, in peace and safe
~, should receive this distinction, while
they, before the musket and the lannon's
mouth, were passed by? Of course they
would. And it was for this reason that they
could not do it. 1t was a case v hen he might
say, 'save me from my friendsI' His friends
were very injudcsous and thoughtlcss to place
him in such position. 1t subjects HIM to
modification ell needlessly, and it placed
every legislator, too, in an unpleasant attitude
in respect to him for, while they did not
wish to do anything against him, but, on the
would honor him, yet they could not
do this at the expense of otherr. His friends
were very unhappy in their attempt.
Some days ago the Senate adopted resolu-
lions in regard to the disgrace ofthe lows I'd,
at St. Louis. On Thursday after the news
Of Fort Donelson, resolution was introduced
audatory of the bravery Of that regiment at
the taking that fort, and the amendm mt
was offered, declaring that their conduct then
.efuted the former change The amendment
vas adopted, though with opposition, and

which carried, and then the whole was laid
IN the table. Hero it was agreed that their

The change was thought to be desirable, in

1t may be wrong to laugh at solemn
things, but Gen. Simon B. Buckner's com
plant of the "ungenerous and uncsivalrous'
terms accorded his 5000 rebels by General
Grant, is enough TO raise a broad grin on a
horse block. Gen. Ruckner had opened the
correspondence by proposing an armistice till
noon, with view to arranging terms of Ca
p,tulat on, knowing well that noon might see
Gen. Bishop Folks army from Columbus, or
Albert Johnston's from Bowling Green on
hand. "You must surrender Internationally
and at once. or 60 in again." says in sub
stance Gen. Grant. wv ell, if l must must"
responds the doleful Sim n; but it is very
ung-nerous and unchivalrous in you to exact
such conditions. OF course it was; but what
could you expect from Yankee "mudsilp' at
the head of an army Of that sort? If the
rebels insist on chivalry in their opponents
they should fight each other.-N r 7ri

twThe movements of troops in the North
west at this time give striking testimony Of
the populousness and prodigous energy Of
this section of the Union Not less tran thlr-
ty regiments have BEEN ordered from the
camps IN OHIO, Indiana. Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota, to join the com
mand of Gen. Grant, within the last two
weeks. The impossibility of the Southern
traitors maintaining themselves against such
masses of troops as ar being hurled against
them, must soon be. if it is not now, made
manifest to them. There is no need Of draw
ing troops from the Potomac. The Govern
ment may save the cost of transportation
The Northwest has men enough to clean out
the Mississippi Valley.

fwBurnside is one of the Generals "that

action-not of words. This was shown by his
speech on the reception Of the flag presented
to him at Washington, at an early period Of
The war. After the spokesman Of the donors
mad delivered Aattering speech, and had pre-
sen,ed the flag, Burnside received it with an
expression of satisfaction on h countenance,
made courteous bow, and said: very much
