After the Lincolites.
LFrom the Knoxville Register


ARRESTED FoR LYING.--A man named
]. 3. Cummings, has been arrested by the
military authorities and committed TO
prison this city for circulating false ru.
mors in B!ount county, calculated TO ere
ale f,enic. The rppnors were to the el.
feet that the Federais had taken Cum.
berland Gap, were within five miles of
Knoxville, and were expected to have
possession of this city every hour. If all
the divulgers of false news were taken up,
we should have to greatly enlarge our
prison accommodations. Apropos to
this subject, the Petersburg Express has
unearthed the following bit of history:
In 1862, the Grand Assemble of Vir
ginia" then in session, at james City,"
enacted the following law for the proper
punishment of the" divulgers Of false
news:"
WHEREAS, Many busy and idle head
ed people doe forge and divulge false ru-
mors and reports to the great disturbance
of the peace and quiette of his majesles
lege persons in this colony.
BE il cnacted, That what person or per.
sons soever shall forge and divulge such
false reports, tending to the trouble Of
the country, shall be, by next Justice OF
the Peace, sent for, and bound over to
the next County Court. where, if he pro
duce not his author, he shall be fined
ina thousand pounds Of tobacco, Tor less) il
the Court thinks fit to lessen lit, and be
sides, give bond for his behavior. if lit
appears TO the Court that he did malic
iously publish lit and invent lit.
Such law at this time, or one similar
to it, would rid us of the thousand false
and exaggerated reports, that almost
daily reach us. People would believe
one another then, for the fear of heavy
penalty would compel each one to speak
nothing but the truth.

Another New Orleans.

The noble stand of the Mayor and
city of New Orleans is not without a par.
allel, though it has not attained the same
distinction. But, nevertheless, itdeserves
to be remembered.
The people OF fredericksburg. Virgin
il, gave the Yankees spunky reception.
rhey formally notified the invaders that,
"inasmuch as the forces of the Confeder
ate States have evacuated the town. no
resistance can, or will, be made to its oc,
cupaton by the United States forces
But these municipal authorities expect
and claim that adequate steps will be ta'
ken 10y the commander to insure protec
ton to persons and property during such
occupation. according to the recognized
rules OF civilized warlare-and that said
commander be further informed that the
population of this town, have been in
the past. and are no,o. in conviction and
sentiment loyal to the existing Govern
ment of the State of Virginia. and Of the
Confederate States of America"

The Offensive Policy.
The Milledgeville s. Federal Union

The Milledgeville s. Federal Union has
an article in reference to the views of
the Governor of Georgia from which we
take the following extract;
The Governor is Of opinion that we
have never been in danger for want of
men, but that our deficiency has been,
The want Of arms; and if the defensive
policy is to be persisted in, and large num-
bers OF men forced 10 leave their farms.
and go into camp for the summer with
out arms, when they are so much needed
IN their fields, he seriously fears, that we
are in gretter dangrr of being overcome
with hunger than from any other cause.
For the last twelve months Gov. Brown
has favored more active, and aggressive
policy and his opinion now is that the
best thing that could possibly be done
would be TO throw a column OF fifty TO
Thousand of our best-trained
sae., toCltatt5ttaoosa, Ia 4l.sssliei te-s dime
POSSIBLE, and put them under Gen. Price
or some one else who has shown that ma
hre made him General, and march
them rapidly by the way of Nashville
upon Louisville and Cincinnati. This
would throw them into Cen Buell's rear
and be would be compelled to follow
them into Kentucky. Gen. Beauregard
could then follow close after Buell.. This
would compel the Federal column opera
ling against East Tennessee to fall back to
wards the Ohio, and Gen. Kirby Smith
nould follow. and in thirty days there
would not be Federal soldier in Ten
nessee. The effect would be not only to
Iiberate that noble State, but to arouse
her whole people, and the people of the
whole Confederacy to renewed energy
and activity. We are now supporting
our own armies and a large portion of the
Lincoln army, from the productions OF
the Cotton States. The proposed move
ment would drive back the Federal army
and place our own army in the rich fields
and green pastures Of Kentucky, where
the supplies would be abundant; while
the Railroad connection would be re.
opened into the heart of Tennessee and
enable us to draw supplies from her rich
values for the support Of our people at
home now so hard pressed for provisions.
1t may be objected that we have not the
| 1000 men in the field to spare. We can
readily concentrate them by Withdrawing
them from places where they are guarding
| points which must fall when attacked by
the gunboats of the enemy, and which
are of but little value when compared
with the grand object to be accomplish
ed We have simply limited at the out
line of a policy to which we may rccul
| at a future time

Alabama Salt.

We have on our table specimen Of
the salt manufactured at the works Of
John P Figh & Co., Clarke county, Ala
1t is of an excellent quality, white
and fine, and is, we should judge, some
what stronger than the Liverpool SALT
The Company is composed OF gentlemen
from this city, well known to be ener-
getic. business men, and we may reasona-
bly, look for large supply Of salt in a
short time. The company is organized
undo an act of the Legislature, and they
are required to sell it at the works, only
to actual consumers at one dollar and
fifteen cents per bushel. Those who
send for it must also furnish sacks, and
pay for transportation. The Company
are required to manufacture at least one
hundred bushels of salt per day, and we
are assured that when the water abates
they will make much more than that
The works have twice been inundated,
and the Company are now just able to
so on with its manufacture.-Montgon,ery

The pickets Of the enemy and our own

been in the habit of holding converse
with each other almost every evening -
The 10Th Georgia Regiment seem to he

issued forbdding this.
One Of the enemy stated to The 7th
Maine that his name was Edward Drum.

Latest from New Orleans.

AUGUSTA, May 6.-The jackson Missis-
sippian has seen the New Orleans papers
of Tuesday, from which it takes the fol-
lowing items Of information
The authorities Of the city held out to
the last in stubborn, heroic refusal to
lower the flag of their adoption.
All the guns of Fort Jackson were
spiked before the surrender. Fort Pike
had been evacuated, and everything it
contained abandoned.
Commander Farragut sent commu-
nication to the Mayor and Council of the
city on the 2Sth, complaining of the re-
fusal to haul down the Confederate flag,
and warning them to remove the women
and children from the city within forty
eight hours. The Mayor convened the
Council, and they decided not to recede
from their position. The Louisiana flag
still floats in the breeze. Mayor Monroe
nobly replied TO Farragut. saying: eve
will stand your bombardment, unarmed
and undefended as we are"
Farragut again. on the Goth, addressed
the Mayor, saying that Forts jackson
and St. Phillip had fallen, and that he
would now proceed to raise the Federal
flag on the Custom House, and that the
Mayor must see it respected with all the
civil power of the city.
The Evening Delta of Wednesday says
that all the Confederate flags of the city
were lowered, and that the Federal flag
floats from all the public buildings, un-
der the protection Of the enemy's guns
All the city papers are still published
but confined to local topics. The Fed
erafs expected to take military posses
sion on Wednesday.
The Commander of the French steam
err Milan, opposite New Orleans notife'
Farragut that forty .eight hours notice o
a bombardment was ridiculous, and dc
manded 60 days for the evacuation.

BattIe of williamsburg.

RICHMOND, May S.--The battle at Will
liamsburg, on Monday, is said TO have
been one of the fercest Of the war, while
it lasted. The charge of Stuart's caval-
ry is reported to have been fearful, NOW
ing down the Hessians by scores. The
loss of the enemy in killed and wounded
was very heavy. Gen. Early, of Virginia,
was badly wounded. Gen. Anderson, OF
South Carolina. is reported to be killed.
No official detailed account of the battle
has yet reached us. The city is greatly
excited by unreliable reports.
Another terrific fight took place at
Barnhamsville, on yesterday. The Con-
federates ore said to be victorious. The
Yankees were repulsed with great slaugh'
ter.

kissing the Rod.

The Legislature of Maryland has been
made to appropriate seven thousand dol
lars to the families of the Massachusetts,
Yankees, slain by the outraged citizens
of Baltimore in the invasion Of last
spring. The men of Maryland slaughter
ed blythe Yankees are stigmatized as "a
mob" and their families left to want and
taxed to support their murderers. Mas
sachusetts required this tribute from the
conquered. The President of the Balti-
more Railroad was before Congress beg
ging that they would not make railroad
direct from Washington to New York,
leaving Baltimore off the track and de-
stroying what the Yankees call "mo-
nopoly." Such is the lot OF the con-
quered.

The Citizens of Nashville.

Nine hundred citizens Of Nashville are al
ready on trial for treason in the so-called
United States courts organized in the
said city; and the docket for the first
term of. those courts is not yet complet-
ed. There will be little difficulty in OBJ
tanning abundant evidence to convict in
every case according to the brgand rules
established under the name of law by
the Federal Congress. What will follow?
Death to some, the penitentiary for many,
confscation of property, real and person
al, for all.
What they are doing in Nashville they
will eventually do in every city, town,
and neighborhood of which they shall
get posssion. Policy may induce them
TO enter quietly as they did at Nashville;
but ayeryy heis they will -nyeseea-es they

armies and generals can beat the enemy

1t is time to get rid of stupid delusions
and vague, delusive hopes for future,
in case of subjugation. There are persons
so weak as to harbour the idea that when
the Yankees get Virginia they will make
peace with the South. That idea is a
hideous error. The possession Of Virgin
ia will no more satisfy the North than
tho possession of Kentucky or Maryland.
They would, in deed, commit an unpar-
alleled folly, if, after having done their
devils work so far, they were to stop
short in it. They would, on the contrary,
argue that if their strength was sufficient
to beat our whole force it would be still
more easy to destroy the remnant of it.
| Their purpose from the first was to re-
cover the whole ground, and no conceiv-
able objection or plea could be urged
against pursuing their course to the Gulf
of Mexico when they have once passed

So far we have had alternate success and
reverses, which have not been decisive.
We must fight on with more terrible en-
ergy than we have done. We must now
concentrate our forces at fewer points,

abandon the merely defensive policy,
and assume and maintain at all hazards
