that the move is good one, and says:
1t was evidently the intention of the enemy

with marching aud cnuntermsrching from one
to the other. by falling back to the line Of rail-

starving out If they come through CEmber-
land Gap they will have to hsUf provisions in
wagons lEou Danyiile, kentucky, or Lexington,
upwards of a hundred miles, and much OF the

passed over by teams. If they come through
Kingston they will be compelled to haul their

Gen. Smith have determined to defend the line

and we have no doubt they are now making use
of the very wisest measures for this purpose and
to attain this end.

A correspondent Of the Mobile Register, writ.
n 2 from Chattanooga, recounts the following:
Col John II. Morgan returned last evening
ifom his scout up the river, having gone in pur-
suit OF some Of the enemy's cavalry, who were
reported to have gone up in search Of our steam
or, the Paint r OK. About seven miles uD the
river he broke up some faiboats and brought
others across to this side. Seeing no signs Of the
enemy, he crossed at point above the island tc
make an exploration. Taking a small canoe.
accompanied by his cousin Major Wash Nor
GAM who commands a company of Cherokee
Indians,) and Col. Geo st. Ledger Grsnlell, he
crossed the river, and after proceeding out SONS
distance, heard some voices. Approaching, they
came on a man and boy. Col. Morgan, seeing
that the man miStoOk them for Yankees, asked
him If hs knew anything atout the secesh fel-
lows over the river. No" SAID be, 81 but I've

The major and Col. GIenfell could hardly
keep straight faces Morgan, after putting sew

good Union man. He solemuly declared he
was, and would do anything to help the Yam

me run up to the house minute to change my

Oh, those viii do now" ssid Morgan, as
we are in hurry, aud the man was compelled
to go " h them TO the river. After the man had
padded the canoe about half across, it being
necessary to keep very still in order to preven!
the canoe from upsetting, Col Morgan changed
his position and the canoe came near 0Oin- over
when he major cried out; Col Morgan, if you
don't keep stu you will upset us" Al this an

OUR GOVERNMENT AND AEXICO.-As for
the United States government, it need not be
said that it lost no time Ia making its opinions
known. Although the Senate had refused to
concur in Mr.. Stewards scheme for an advance
of money to Mexico, in order to enable her to
pay the sums due to the intervening powers, yet
Lord Lyons states his belief that the Senste's
only reason was desire to draw no further on
the pecuniary resources of the country, and to
avoid interference in Mexican affairs at a time
of intestine trouble. ~ believe" says Lord
Lyons, :'that The allied expedition against Mex
ieo is extremely unpalstable 70 the American
people, and that the establishment Of monarchy
in that country would be regarded by them as
extremely offensivei but nevertheless, it is felt
that the Intervention Of the United States should
be postponed until it can be effeeted.-LoHdOH
