PETERSBURG, July 25.-The Peters
burg Erpress has received a despatch
from Knoxville announcing the arrival
of messenger at Headquarters in Ten
nessee from Morgan, with dispatches
dated Georgetown July Is.
The messenger reports thai. Colonel
Morgan had captured eleven cities and
towns, with heavy amounts of army
stores, and that he has aforce sufficient
to hold all the country between Lexing-
ton and Frankfort, which places are
chiefly garrisoned by Home Guards.
The bridges between Lexington and
Cincinnati have all been destroyed.

to the Advertiser s. Register, dated
Jackson 24th, reports:
Lieut.. Colonel Ferguson, of Starks
cavalry, with two companies and felc
battery, captured and destroyed the
Federal Mail Steamer at Skipwith'
Landing, 80 miles above Vicksburg.
Col. Ferguson succeeded in taking
possession of the Mail Bag from the

Exchange Of Prisoners.

The basis of the pending negotiations
for the exchange Of prisoners has been
made on "the cartel of 1872" This
instrument was between recognized ma
tions, and stipulated for "American a.
gents at Halifax and other places, and
for British agents to the United States
and stipulated not only for an exchange
of prisoners of the same rank, but for
equivalents in men where they were OF
different ranks" and for the parole Of
the surplus.
This cartel has no reference to most
important circumstance connected with
prisoners, and that is the arrest and
seizure of private individuals by the
enemy. It is to be hoped that the gov,
ernment has given positive instructions
to the Confederate commissioner to in
sist upon the cessation of these illegal
acts, and that, unless positively disa.
vowed and abandoned, no exchange will
be permitted to be made. Private citi,
zens are as much under the protection
of the government as Confederate sol
diers they are the fathers, mothers.

don them to the cruelties of the enemy,
without the power OF retaliation, o.
which We will have deprived ourselves
when we have paroled their prisoners
would be an act of injustice and cruelty
which the public ought not to tolerate

We understand that at the late inter
view between Gen. Hill and Gen. Dix

to a clause forbidding the arrest O.
citizens, and that the negotiations Were
suspended, to allow Gen. Dix to visi

this matter the country will rejoice tt

A YANKEE TRAIN IN KNOXVILLE. =
Our streets presented quite d lively ap-
pearance yesterday morning. The long
train of United States wagons, captur-
ed by Col. Forrest at Murfreesboro,
made it's entree, with drums beating and
colors flying, and passing up Gay ST.,
was turned over to the quartermaster,'
after having first deposited tie captur-
ed arms, &c., at the ordnance depart
ment. In the afternoon, aportion OF the
horses and mules were also, brought in
and turned over to the care of the quar-
termaster.. The spectacle was witness
ed by large crowd of citizens and
country people. Among them, we no
ticed some Unionists, who have long
been anxiously waiting to behold the
machinery of a Yankee army In the
streets of Knoxville. We hope they
enjoyed the sight yesterday, notwlth-
standing the Yankee teams had Conted-

The Truth FoRCIBlY UTTERED
The Georgia Constituti0nahst says
No calamity is considered more dire, or
is contemplated with more intense hor-
ror, than the restoration of the Union
with the hated Yankee race. Rather
than that, pestilence, famine anu desc
lation are welcome-rather than that,
let the war be as eternal as the hate
that RACES between the sections. The
Southern ear is inexorably shut against
all overtures which look to RECONSTRUCT
ton. The Southern man who listens Tel
to such whisper is a traitor. The
Northern man that would utter it is a
dreamer and romancist. x The
dream of reconstruction OF the Union
must be given up first. Then overtures
from the North would be in order. Un-
til then, war to the knife-war as long
as the foot Of a single hostile Yankee
presses Southern SOILS the infexible
purpose of the South.

From the Valley,

The Richmond Dispatch Of 23d has
informationfro the Valley, from which
it infers that matters are bright for the
Confederate cause It published a few
days ago some statements based upon
intelligence received from gentleman
who came through from Winchester
last week. Ithas since been permitted
to extract from a letter received by a
gentleman in this city from member
Of the cavalry corps now commanded by
Gen. B. H. Robertson. This letter
confirms all that has previously been
stated with reference to the frequent
desertiors from the Federal army of the
Valley, and the disinclination Of the
Yankee troops there to engage our for
ces. The statements of the writer may
be regarded as reliable, as he sustains
the character of a man of integrity and
intelligence. He says:
"The Yankees are leaving the Valley
rapidly. They have considerable a.
mount Of supplies at Winchester yet,
and we will either capture or destroy
some of them. Our presence, too, IN
duces many to desert, and they flock to
us rapidly. Fifteen in one gang came
up to Powen's Fort day before yester-
day, and fvein another. -Four hun
dred deserted from one regiment at
Front Royal the past week, leaving
nothing but officers. There is great
dissatisfaction and Generalization in
the Yankee army here, and if their
men at home have no greater inclina-
tion to fight this war through than their
hirelings here, old Abe will have a sor-
ry time of it in getting his 100000 ad-
ditional troops. Gen. Robertson pa
roles all who voluntarily come into our
lines. -. e..
"The army of the Valley were turn
ed from their march through Manassas
Gap, by a few guerrinas. They then
went up the Page Valley. There was
great panic in the whole army. Thirty
men turned the coarse of more than
$780,"

FROM THE NoRTH.-The Richmond
Examiner has reliable private advices
from the North. The Yankee Govern
ment is massing all its available troops
at or near Warrenton, and not at Win
chester as stated, by way of a blind, by
the Northern papers. The ninety and
one hundred dollar bounties, with a
pledge to support the families of absent
volunteers, offered in Washington and
Baltimore, have failed to stimulate en-
listments. No recruits are coming for
ward.
The probability of a resort to a draft
has caused intense indignation and ex-
citement in Baltimore, and it is thought
that if General Jackson were in striking
distance he could at once obtain twenty
thousand men from that city alone.

that Colonel MICAH JENKINS, of the

(which he so nobly earned by his zeal
and intrepidity in the late battles be-
fore Richmond. He reached his home,
in this place on Thursday evening last,
on a short visit to his family and friends,
combined with business engagements.
He brought with him the flag of the
Michigan Regiment, captured by his
command there were doubtless great
promises made for its defence, but we
doubt if even "Stockton's Brigade had

ing South Carolina brigadier general.
The 'sRebel Troop are exiles, in many
cases, from their homes on the sea shore,
and will remember the fact if they ever
