EAST TENNESsEE.--The rebellion in Tennessee has
been effrctually crushed The arrival of Col. r. B.
Vances regiment from this State in that quarter
was opportune. Col. Vance has been on a recent
visit to his home in Ashevile and the Neus of that
place says that the Colonel is of the opinion that
the Union feeling has played out A number of
prominent rebellion leaders have gone in and volun-
tarily taken the oath of allegiance to the Southern
Confederacy. Col. Vance administered the oath to
600 citizens of Johnston County, Tenn, and took
800 guns. Many of them declared that they had
been deluded and never heard but one side of the
quarrel. Col Vance has orders to occupy the line
of railroad with his regiment for 200 miles from
Lick Creek to Chattanooga, one or more companies
stationed at each bridge. Jonesborough, Tenn, is
the proper post office for all letters and papers for
the goth Regiment

Epauletts.

There is nothing like digging into tho
past, if you would dissipate romance. Who
would have supposed that epauletts were
originally padded projections against sabre
cuts? 1t has often been asked What is the
use of epauletts? and also asserted that they
are intended to recognize rank. Epauletts
originated with the English knights and
their retainers, during the crusades to the
Holy land. At that period the French and
Italian knights wore costly armor. and the
eastern knights were arrayed in style of
masnificence m not then known to the En-
gish, most of the latter, dressed in uncouth
woollen or cotton armor, made sad appear
ance among their gaudy and light hearted
neighbors. In a short time the English
knights in order to protect their shoulders
from the keen edge of the Saracen's cimetar,
placed thereon pads, stuffed with hair or
wool; in a short time, their taste having
been improved by association, these pads
were ornamented with frnges, taken as
trophies from their eastern enemies; and
finally, when the unwieldly armor was
totally dispensed with, in consequences of
the general nse of gun powder, the pads with
fringes became the modern epauletts.

WASHINGTON. June Is, 1862.
The news from the Valley Of Virginia is
by no means cheering. Though Fremont
achieved victory it was dearly bought. as
his official report shows. and the rePulse OF
Shields. it is feared has more than balanced
the account in favor of the rebels. But,
am grieved to say. from the report of Union
men me- in that quarter, we have gained no
moral victories. On the contrary, the con-
trast in the behav ior of the soldiery is really
in favor Of the rebels. The Federal troops
have heen guilty of small acts of Vandalism.
which are tending to root out all Union feel
ing. One Of the recent wanton acts was the
burning of the Virginia Press office at
Charlestown, and the Odd Fellows lodge
room in the story above. The excuse for
this is; that the rebels, while in possession,
stored 70 rage in the markethouse part of the
building. Why not remove the grain into
the street, if unable to take it away, instead
of DESTROYING the property of friends as wei!
as foes? The editors of the Free Press op-
posed with zeal and abb lity the secession
wickedness, and plead for the Union until
silenced by rebel bayone is. They have thu cir

power tho wild spirit of fanaticism and an
archy that has possessed the people Of the
nation, and restoring if possible our broken

purposes and peaceful condition.
Resolved, That the determined and per-
sistent efforts Of the Abolition party in Con-
gress to convert the present unhappy war
into a war upon slavery should meet with
the in st condemnation of every true friend
of his country; that we believe. whether in
peace or in war, the safety and perpetuity
of our republ blican institutions depend upon a
strict adherence to the Constitution; that in
this lies the protection Of the personal liber'
ty of the citizen and the preservation Of the
State.
Resolved That we hail with pleasure the
uprising of the couserv ative Democratic par
ty of the Northern States, and with said
party we are prepared to act in restoring
our distracted country to its on ce happy and
prosperous condition.
Resolved, That in view Of the present ex-
cited condition of the country any and all
political discu ssion calculated to inflame
the minds of the people, should be avoid ed.
and the people left free and unbiased to cast
their votes. as in their own judgment they
may deem best for our common interests.

Who is the Rebel General Stonewall
Jackson?

Among those who were unnamed demi-
gods" in times past. no one has conducted
his command with greater skill than Thos.
Jefferson Jacks son, nick k-named "Stonewall''
by reason of his taking advantage of such
rough structures when he was defeated by
Shields near Winchester. But, although
beaten, he would not say so. His rapid
pursuit of Banks, and his we'll conducted
retreat, turning. and standing at bay with
sharp and well-directed fanss as his pur-
suers closed upon him show judgment. cool
ness and tenacity such as no rebel has dis
played during the war. From one who
knew him we'll before the war, we have
learned certain traits of his character which
will throw light upon his conduct during
the present campaign. He is a gr aduate Of
West Point and participated in the Mexi-
(whate he nay be otherwise). but ex-
tremely firm and tenacious of purpose
His bravery is unquestioned. During the
battle Of Chapultepec. where he com man
b
ed to Pillows division. he was ordered by
that division mmanded to withdraw bis
section, as, according to Pillows idea, il
was too much exposed. Giving no heed
whatever to the Generals order. he rapidly
limbered up and moved his section q hun
dred yards nearer the euemy's works. wher q
he did great execution.
After the war jackson was appointed
Professor of Natural and Experimental Phi
losophy in the Virginia Military Institute
and in the quiet routine Of his duties he was
by no means successful. He was regard ed
by many as an incubus upon his depart
ment; he was . bunglins teacher. and very
slow in powers Of calculation. w ith thu
breaking out of the war he seemed to have
found again congenial service. and has cer-
tainly eclipsed the fame Of most Of the rob
ell Generals. He is a dangerous enemy. and
should have thorough soldiers to watch hin
from our side.
