this spirit, that any further display of it

The New Military Bill.

We publish today an official copy of the
law just passed by Congress, and approx
ed BY the President, TO provide more Her-
fectly for the public defence. We need
Only say that this bill, in the present con-
dition of our affairs, was judged extreme
ly advantageous, if no. indispensable to
the public interests. That consideration
silences all objections to it as q present
policy. It has commanded the acqui-
escencc of many otherwise opposed to it,
and, we trust, and doubt, will be received
in the same spirit by our gallant and pa
triotic soldiers. Our one business now is
10 ,ohip our enemies and save our komes;-wc
can attend to questions of theory after
wards.
This bill has certainly the merit o
equalizing the burdens of the war amonl
the several States. All will have to con
tribute an equal proportion, and citizen
enough will everywhere be left to carr
on the business of the country. and lool
after the interests of their friends in thu

The Fetters Tightening.

Recent accounts from Nashville show
that the despotism established there by
Lincoln's satrap, Andrew johnson, is
every day assuming more brutal and
remorseless character. Buell's lip prom.
ises that the persons and property of citi-
zens should be protected, have been per-
fidiously violated, and all the horrors
and brutalities that marked the original
occupation of st. Louis, Baltimore, and
Alexandria, are being re.enacted with
tenfold wantonncss and cruelty. We
hear of numerous arrests and imprison.
ments lately made by authority of John
son on mere political charges, and it is
thought that the arrested parties will be
indicted and tried for treason by civil
process. IF they should be convicted,
we may expect some of the Shiloh cap
tives to pull hemp" instead of cotton
before many moons have reyolved.

The West Tennessee Wing says: From
all sources of information we learn that
the Tennesseeans engaged in the battle
OF Shiloh, on Sunday and Monday last,
fought with desperation and courage
that won for themselves the praise of all.
In after time it will be proud distinc-
ton to say, II was Tennessee volunteer
in the battle of Shiloh" Indeed our
boys fought heroically, and by their GAL
liant bearing on that bloody field, have
gained for Tennessee and for themselves
the brightest wreath that ever decked
the brow of the brave.

Ex-secretary Cameron Arrested

: Philadelphia, April Is Ex.Secretarv
Cameron was arrested in this city to day
on warrant issued by the Sheriffs Of

alleged illegal detainer in Fort LAFAYETTE.
Tonight hundred citizens, headed by
number of public officers, visited the
residence of Mr.. Butler and RECALLED him
with the noise of horns, fddles, and other
discordant instruments.
Mr.. Cameron had made ready to start
Tor Europe at an early period, and this
arrest will materially Interfere with his
arrangements.
Mr.. Wall and friends, of Burlington.
N. D., have been in town all day, waiting
10 castigate Mr.. Cameron for the arrest
of Mr.. Wall last fall.
The ex-Secretary is guarded by the
United States Marshal, the District At
torney, and others. For the present Mr..
Cameron has declared his intention not
to sail for Russia until the case in ques-
ton is disposed of.
The arrest took him entirely by sur
prise, and occasioned much modification,

The Enemy's Loss at Shiloh.

Shiloh was twenty-three thousand killed,
wounded and taken prisoners.
These figures (says the Norfolk Day

Large Haul of Stampeders.

Happening at Knoxville last saturday
we witnessed the arrival there of four
hundred and twenty-three Lincolnites in
charge of company of Confederate Cav
airy. They were said to belong mostly to
Knox, Jefferson, and Granger counties,
and had been captured a day or two pre-
vious in Campbell, eight miles beyond
Fincastle. The detachment which took
them numbered seventy men only, of
Capts. Ashby and Gillespie's cavalry, and
were commanded by the former. The
refugees numbered about seven hundred,
and were headed by a COL Caps, who was
killed. When the cavalry appeared in
sight, they drew up in line of battle and
showed fight. Some two hundred were
armed with rifles and shot-guns, and most
Of the others with pistols and knives. The
fight lasted half hour or more, and re-
suited in the capture of 425 of the Lin.
colnites, and the killing and wounding of
60, who were left on the field. The rest
managed to escape. Four of Ashby's
command were wounded, one of whom is
reported to have since died.
OF the 423 brought to Knoxville, from
their appearance we would say four-fifths
of them were ignorant, uninformed men,
fit subjects of the willy leaders who are
daily laboring to widen and strengthen
the disloyal sentiment in East Tennessee.
The entire crowd was shipped South the
day following to spend the summer
months in digging trenches and toting
sand-bags. If the authorities will now
hunt out and arrest the leaders, and send
them in the same direction, they will be-
gin to show wisdom and approach a re-.
suit. They take the oath-many of them
voluntarily-and, in utter disregard of
the Obligations thus incurred, continue
the work of disloyalty and deception, of
imposition upon others who enjoy but
few, if any opportunities, to learn the
truth and the facts. AS long as the lead
ers are permitted to escape with impunity,
no amount of punishment inflicted on
their dupes will check the current, which
seems recently to have been gathering
additional strength and volume. If the
former are to go scot free, it would be
better to let the latter, when they do
start, make the connection through, and
then send their families after them.
On Sunday morning As more refugees,
who had been captured higher up the
country, arrived at Knoxville; and the
Register OF Tuesday says some fifteen hun
dred had decamped from the lower end
of Knox and adjacent neighborhoods, a
few nights previous.
