The Major-General Commanding the

bodies Of citizens, misled by designing
men, are leaving the State, and seeking
an asylum in Kentucky.

nessee, to remain at their homes, to cul.
tivate their fields, and to be true in their
allegiance to tho existing government.
He assures all citizens engaged in cul.
tivating their farms, that he will protect
them in their rights, and that he will sus.
pend the militia draft under the State
Law, that they may raise crops for con-
sumption, in the coming year.

From Jackson's Army.

The Lynchburg Viryinian, of yesterday,
has the following:
"The messengers who arrived on the
Orange and Alexandria train Saturday
night contradict the reported battle be-
tween jackson and the enemy. They re-
port slight skirmish between Ashby's
cavalry and the enemy. One company of
our cavalry, who were on picket, were
surrounded and taken prisoners.
Gen. Jackson was falling back in per-
feet order, and without the loss of any
stores. 1t is supposed to be his intention
to concentrate his forces with those of
Gen. Edward Johnston, who had also left
his former position, and give the enemy
battle"

"The Connecticut election has resulted
in favor of the Republican candidates.
Governor Buckingham was're.elected by
largely increased majority, and there
will be n Republican gain in both aousei
of the Legislature. This may be looked up
on as a decided Endorsement Of President Lin
