Foreign Intervention.

The papers are filed again with ano-
tller cock-and-bull story about Foreign
Intervention, copied from the New York
Express. Some of our exchanges attach
a degree of Importance to 1t. But 1t reads
a good deal like New York sensation.--
We transfer the Express article to our
columns, and the reader can draw his
own conclusions as to whether 1t is worth
the space it occupies. We hardly think
II Is and shall rest there, until further
advices are received. It Is the opinion Of
some of the best informed minds South
that the simple act of Recognition would
be Of little substantial advantage. The
Confederacy will have to work out its own
salvation, not with fear and trembling,
but through great trials and much suffer.

From the Army of the Potomac.

The news from the army of the Poto-
mac, indicates important movements near
at hand, and we think many days will
not elapse before battle takes phce in
the Valley. As a strategic movement,
the line of our operations had been ex-
tended considerably, but our original
base lines on the Valley and on the south.

terially changed.
There is a runor that Gen. Jackson
has had an engagement with Gen. Burn

but We can gather nothing Ola reliable

Why the Kentucky Campaign Did
Not Succeed.

The editor of the Atlanta Contederacy,
having had an interview with Col. John
Forsyth, of Gen. Bragg's staff. gives the
following views of the result of the Ken
tacky campaign:
Bragg could have whipped Buell. at any
time from Louisville to the Gap, but the
victory had been fruitless one-not
worth the loss of half dozen lives. II
would still have been necessary to leave
Kentucky. The battle of Perryville
would not have been fought had it not
been necessary to give Buell. drubbine
the better to enable Bragg's army to re-
tire without such serious molestation as
he would otherwise have had.
The expedition into Kentucky is g
| failure for two causes. LIST. The people
were not ready to take up arms. Nearly
everybody was favorable to it, and against
Lincoln, in their feelings, but they are
crushed-the manhood crushed out O
them by the car of abolition despotism
which has ground them to the earth
The women all hurrahed, clapped thei
hands waved their handkerchiefs; the
boys hurrahed for jeff Davis and the
Southern Confederacy, but the men were
coy in their demonstrations. They woulC
give us word of encouragement wher
they could do so on the sly-ard al
that sort Of thing; but they feared W,
would not be able to remain there anc
protect them-knowing that in case GU
army retired, certain confiscation of prop
arty and ruin of their estates, with indig
nifty to their families, and perhaps impris
onment, awaited them. Indeed, it is no
much surprising that men of families
should be slow to act in such case
Recruits were not obtained in sufficien
numbers to enable Bragg to remain there
2. The failure of Van Dorm to carry
Prices army through to Paducah, ano
Smithland. These two causes, and none
other, made Bragg fall back.
But where is Bragg going? The coun
try-especially the Yankees-will fine
out before very long.

Conscription.

The following was clipped from .he
Atlanta Corfederocy, and was probably
mainly intended for that locality. Asst
may suit others we give it The benefit of
our circulation:
1t is Illuminating to observe the disgust
ing anxiety manifested by many able
bodied men. to fix up some plan to keep
out of the army-at least to keep out Of
the fighting part Of IL. We don't hear
men on the streets talk of getting into
any OF the fighting companies or regi-
ments now in service, Or responding to
the calls OF those who have authority TO
raise companies for special service. No
man speaks of having his house in order
and being. ready TO go into the service
when the Government calls for him uh.
der the late CONSUMPTION law. The great
question Is how to be exempted. Met
whose hands have grown soft with idle
ness are suddenly aroused to great cher
| gy and activity, and are opening up shoe
shops, tanyards, turning blacksmith, &c.,
&c. Digging in caves for salt-petre is q
favorite resort for some sections. Men
scrambling for every little office-Militia
Captain, Sheriff, Justice of the Peace,
Judge of the Inferior Court. They rush
into the ranks of companies that are cal
led for to mind some public building
where liquor is convenient and Yankees
scarce. An advertisement in a paper for
such service will bring a crowd of lazy,
cowardly men, eager for safe place
Others nose out Government clerkships,
or go asvolunteer aids on Colonel's staff
where there is no enemy and no dangar,
Others still are getting Government con-
tracts to make tallow candles or whiskey,
smoke meat or mind cattle while they
eat grass, &C., &C., al intnitun,.
We know number of men in this Vi
cinitv, who before the war, were intense
ly patriotic, burning up with Southern
fire. They exhorted on the street corn
ers, bullied at elections. wore cockades,
and gave every outside evidence of q
consuming thirst for Yankee blood. A
few Of these characters event in" for q
few months, generally holding some Of
fee. After few months, just before a
big battle, their familiar faces were seen
at home on furlough. For few days
they would assume q convaleseing air
but rosy, robust health would tinge thei,
cheeks in spite of all efforts, and after
running out two or three short furloughs
would finally give it up, and here they
are now nervously watching, round to es
cape, promptly on hand
ready and anxious to serve the countr,
when there is an Office to Se filed by the
; votes Of the people, or the disposal o
the government, that will bring then
within the pale of the exemption bill.

Bell House, Knoxville.

We should have noticed at an earlier
day that this popular House had passed
into the proprietorship of our old friend,
Geo. w. Mayo, Esq, for many years res
ident of this place. He used to "know
how to keep hotel" and if the provis-
ions can be obtained in the country, the
public may rest assured he will do his
guests full Justice.

Northern News.

We clip the following paragraphs be-
low from q late number of the Richmond
Dispatch. The suggestions contained in
them are quite timely:
After the letter which we recently pub.
lished, addressed to VIM. II. Seward by
his nephew, exorting him to persevere in
his system OF newspaper Justification. there
can scarcely be any necessity of putting
the public upon their guard against any
statements concerning Southern affairs
which may appear in the Northern press.
That letter discloses the fact that the
United States Secretary of State has adopt
ed nang as a portion of the regular ma
chirery of the war; that it is as much q
part of the devillsh enginery of the inva-
sion as bombshells and bayonets, and, in
fact, more important part. For, whilst
the recognized instruments of warfare
have rarely proved successful in the enc
my's hands, the lie has never failed them.
Stewards standing directions are always
to claim victory, no matter how decided
the defeat, and his admiring nephew il
illustrates the value of the policy by the
fact that Southern newspapers actually
feared that Bragg was beaten, simply be-
cause Northern newspapers claimed O
victory, and that in the face of dispatch
from one OF our own Generals announcing
a glorious result! The fact is, the people
OF this country, honest and truthful them
selves, have never begun 10 appreciate
the genius of the North in Justification
till this war. And even now, it seems up
hill work to resist the tendency of our
old habits of credulity. We find it hard
to believe that whole nation can not

The Kentucky Invasions.
From the Cincinnati Times.


The rebels seem determined to make
Kentucky suffer for her attempted posi-
ton Of neutrality. On three occasions u
considerable part of the State has been
overrun, first by Buckner, then by John
Morgan, and lastly by Bragg and Kirby
Smith, each time carrying off immense
supplies. A Louisville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette sums up the result
as follows:
Armies, that in all, hardly numbered
DthousandSul nearly, if
re double then ser in check
for a.month; have thrown the whole West
into a spasm of alarm; have led Kentuck-
ians to doubt the strength of the hold the
National Government has on them, and
tke people of the Northern border to
8ueskion their own safety from rebel in
Sssion and have made good their escape
withsat punishment.
The results of this last invasion may be
briefly summed up. The rebels got some
recruits, but not so many as they expect
ed or as we have believed. Probably
three thousand men will more than cover
the entire accession to their strength in
this respect. They secured immense
quantities of supplies-poik, beef, corn,
flour, and forage-nearly all of which they
seem likely to get safely out of the State.
They remounted their whole cavalry
force, and stripped the State of its most
valuable stock. They convinced too
many Kentuckians that, if not safer to
be rebel than loyal, it was at least far
more prudent for them to zealously main
tain the milk and water status-not very
rebellious and not oppressively loyal; not
bound to render either side much assist
ance, and not specially odious to either
on account Of jealous adherence to the
other.
On the other hand, we haven't much
of showing. We drove, them out, but
we went at II very clumsily, and expend-
ed an enormous amount OF strength in
and Missssippians, and were rather UNI
duly thankful that we came OIL 30 well as
not to lose any more.

DAs- The Abolition letter~writers
and special telegraph dispatches from
Washington are taking great deal Of
pains, since the recent elections, to as
sure the world that Mr.. Lincoln does
not intend to change his Abolition
Proclamation; and they 60 so far as to
give us the Presidential words to that
effect. All that proves nothing to our
mind. One week before the Procla-
nation was issued, Lincoln gave to a
committee that waited on him to urge
him to do the act, the very best of
reasons why he ought not to comply
with their request; yet he committee
had hardly got home to Chicago before
the Proclamation they urged Mr.. Lin
coin to make, and which he declined
doing, greeted their eyes in the public
press, An intimation or positive state
ment from Mr.. Lincoln, that he will
or will not pursue certain line of poll

any means. We suppose Mr.. Lincoln
will, like most statesmen, be governed
in his policy by circumstances of a
controlling character. His Proclama>
