What News is "Contraband" and
What is Not.

II will be well for our Contemporaries Of
the city, as well as all others at important
military points, to call to mind what
character of news is "contraband" and
forbidden publication, and what is not
No law has been passed on the subject,
but the orders of our generals make the
following distinction:
Tho press arersquested noi TO publish
news relating 10 the movements Of
Confederate troops, munitions Of war,
gunboats or batteries, descriptions and
locations Of forts, or anything that could
afford the enemy knowledge thot may be
used to the detriment of the Southern
cause. On the contrary, papers may
safely publish all movements of the enc

own movements taken from northern
papers, without giving additional authen-
ITCHY to the same.

A Solemn Crisis,

The following touching and stirring APP
peal comes through the Nashville "Ban-
ner Of Peace"
The South is now on trial before the
civilized world. The North has bent its
bow and whetted its sword, and declares
the South shall no longer exist as a ma.
ton of freemen. soall no longer call their
land and homes and property their own.
The South musters her brave sons to re-
sistance.s Preparations are about CON-
plete. The clash of arms, the shock Of
armies viii soon be heard 1t lisa solemn
hour. If we rout the darb-hearted foe
now and put him to overwhelming defeat
all along our borders, he cannot rally; his
fate is scaled irrsvocably. Before he can
rally again, we will be recognized ma.
ton and will have our ports open, cotton
gone, arms coming in, credit and money
plenty, and we will be twice as formida-
BILE as we ever have been. That will be
"the situation" after victory. But victo-
ry must first come. Oh. let it come. BY
every dear interest of this great land-by
every brave heartily every strong arm.
let it come. The public cannot be too
much penetrated with the momentous-
ness Of the hour. The coming struggle
should know no retreat. no repulse, no
wavering in ranks, nothing but victor's
palm or a soldiers grave. We adjure our
soldiery to lofty courage. to deeds of dar-
ring which reck not Of defeat, and we
call upon our countrymen at home to be
ready to take the places of the fallen.

Capture of Roanoke Island.

By reference to the news column, it
will be seen that there has been terrific
fight at Roanoke Island, between the
Confederate troops stationed there, 5000
strong, and the forces under Burnside,
numbering some $4,000. After two days
hard fighting the Confederates were OBJ
liged to succumb--tho whole command,
except Is, being captured. We have not
full particulars, but the loss in killed and
wounded is heavy. Four Federal vessels
belonging to the expedition were sunk.
Their loss is said TO be over 1000. The
Federals are beginning to put in some
pretty big ticks, and will no doubt inflict
an immense amount of damage along the
coast, and wherever they can penetrate
with their gun-boats.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1862-02-14
The Reason Why.

A Somerset correspondent of the New
York Herald writes as follows in regard
to the movements Of the Lincoln forces
there, in a letter dated Jan. 29th ~
"The movements here and at Mill
Spring are in unison, and though they
tend southwark, it is not the direction of
East Tennessee. The idea of invading
East Tennessee to aid her loyal men, if
such an idea ever existed in the minds of
our Generals, has doubtless exploded
If it has not. the experience Of the bri-
gade and regimcntal Quartermasters
should be plainly and forcibly told our
commanders, and the explosion will fol-
low. 1t is almost utterly impossible TO
feed troops at this point. An idea may
be had of the state Of this country when
say that in trip from Stanford TO be-
yond Monticello, L saw not o shock Of
fodder, a stack of hay, or crib OF corn.
The presence Of friendly army in East
Tennessee would be as devastating as
that OF rebel army, inssmuch as they
would prove guests who, would have to
be subsisted by hosts who, poor at al.
times, are now hardly able to subsist
themselves"

Mississippi Matters.

A letter to us from Mssissppiof recent
date says: "Our State is flooded with
shinplasters as bad as in 1887. Oppose
such a system of currency in Tennessee
as obstinately as you have heretofore done.
Unless we can procure an influx of gold
and silver by direct trade from England,
our finances will be in terrible condition.
If obtained shortly, however, our people
would refuse to take anything but gold
and silver, or Confederate notes. Mis-
sippi is more bitter against the Yankees
than ever, and more determined to resist
to the death. They do not complain in
the least of taxation, but invite it."

The News,

So many idle and wild rumors are cur.

TWO or three of their vessels.
After the capture of Fort Henry by the
Yankees, five of their boats proceeded up
the Tennessee as far as Florence, Ala, a
distance of some 240 miles, stopping at
various points along the river, and send
ing troops a short distance into the inte-
rior, without, however, their doing any
damage.
At Florence they burned large ware

large bridge over the river at that place.

The Enemy's Gunboats.

If the description of the Western gun
boat feet, given by the Hessian newspa-
pers, De at all correct, they are not as i'm
pregnable as they are generally supposed
to be. There are twelve of these boats in
all, carrying one hundred and twenty
guns, 80, AZ, and GA Founders. One on
the Essex throws shell weighing 1913
pounds. Neither of these boats, but the
Benton, is plated with iron on the roof
The planks is only q inches thick. Of
course shot falling on this deck, even
at an acute angle, would 60 through, and
heavy shell so entering would blow up
the boat. Though the chances Of this
occurring may be small, yet it is evident
that batteries stationed on q bluff will
stand a fair chance to blow shell or two
through their decks.

Burning of Harper,s Ferry.

The Federals have burned the town of
Harper's Ferry. The following account
of it appears in the Richmond Dispatch:
From a lady who arrived in this city
from Jefferson county last evening, we
have intelligence Of the destruction of a
large portion Of the town Of Harper's
Ferry, by the Yankees on Friday night
last. Our informant states that on Fri
day the guerilla company commanded by
Capt. Robt. w. Baylor, Of Jefferson, went
to the Ferry with view Of capturing q
traitor by the name Of George Rohr, who
has been acting in the capacity OF ferry.
man between the Virginia and Maryland
shores and who had rendered himself par
ticularly odious by giving information Of
the movements Of our forces In that
neighborhood. Capt. Baylor succeeded
In having Rohr enticed to the Virginia
side Of the river; but finding II impossi-
BILE TO capture him, he shot him in the
boat. This exasperated the Yankees 10
such an extent that they came over ur
der the cover Of night, and fred tho
town. The result was as stated above,
the destruction Of considerable portion
OF the town. We learn that Rohr died
soon after he was shot.

Expedition irom Cairo.

The Memphis appeal of the 7th inst,
says it has information that Gen. Grant
left Cairo on Tuesday night with eigh-
teen transports and gunboats, and some
twenty thousand troops, and moved up
the Ohio river towards Paducah. 1t is
supposed in military circles that part of
this force will proceed up the Tennessee
river to reinforce Gen. Smith, and the re-
mainder to 80 up the Cumberland to OPP
crate against Fort Donelson. THIS would
strongly indicate determination on the
part of the enemy to move on GAINESVILLE
or Nashville, which will be expedited by
the capture Of Fort Henry. ~

Capture of Fort Henry.

The Richmond Erdminer, very summa-
rily, and philosophically, disposes OF the
capture Of Fort Henry. We annex the
paragraph;

force of men and artillery TO bear upon

have manned it with very large force
of our own, aud to have armed II with
sufficient number of heavy guns to ena-

have required too great dissipation OF
our strength and extension OF our lines
The enemy has taken this fort, as he will
take other points of Importance on the
line Of navigable waters. His great
strength in artillery and in boats give
him the power to do so. These things
we canno. well avoid; but when he march

opportunity, and then our occasion for
Furnishing him properly.

Fort Henry, though productive of some
inconvenience, is not a matter OF any
great detriment to our interests. The
road without the bridge will still be
available for strengthening our lines on
either side Of the river, through connecs

a matter Of inferior importance. While
it would have been subject Of lively
qualification. if our troops could have
held Fort Henry, its loss is not matter

We are indebted to the Nashville Pa
triot for the following:
We ore indebted to Frank Medley, of
the Southern Express, for the following
dispatch, received yesterday:
DECATUR, Feb. 10, 1862.
"All quiet at this place. The gun
boats have retreated from Florence, ia
king all the government stores. No 9TH

Another dispatch from Huntsville, of
the same date, announces that the trains
on the railroad will run as usual to-day.

that the reported burning of the Florence
bridge, and the railroad bridge over Bear
Creek was untrue.

The Late Reverses.

Instead Of depressing and discouraging
the Southern people, The late Federal sue
cesses seem to have had contrary effect.
In every direction the people are rousing
up and preparing for the emergency. 1t
needed something of the sort TO ~ske
them from the false security into which
a continued series of victories had lulled
them. During the next six weeks the
enemy will do much harm along the
coast and on some of the water-courses.
But he will never penetrate the interior,
or reach the 'heart of the rebellion" II

now msnifesting, and rouse up ss one
man to repel invasion, the contest will
soon be over. We are just at the trying
point now-if true and steadfast, ultimate

Consumption of Corn.

The Richmond Dispatch says: 1t is un.
derstood that the War Department will
shortly issue an order directing the sci
cure Of the corn now held for purposes Of
distillotion, a step rendered necessary, not
only by the pernicious effects of the UNI
limited manufacture of whiskey, but by
the exhorbitant prices which Government
is thereby compelled to pay for an arti-
Gle indispensable to the sustenance of the
army. This movement, following close
upon the order for the impressment OF
saltpetre, will probably cause monopolists
and extortioners to open their eyes, and
may result in publication of the moral
atmosphere SO devoutly prayed for by ev-
cry honest member OF the community.
