AFFAIRS AT HENDERSON.

AFFAIRS Al HENDERSON
The state of affairs at Henderson still enlist
the profound interest of all classes and it seems
almost impossible to arrive at any just conclusion
from the many conflicting rumors that reach this
city.
Citizens who left Henderson on Thursday
night reported that the guerrillas had left that
place, after stealing what hospital stores ban
kets, medicines guns, ammunition, &c. that they
could find. johnson made speech in which he
declared he would not suffer any private property
molested or injured. He confessed he had bad
men in his band horse thieves, robbers and muir
derers-but he intended to govern them. There
were still some others stealing and punderng
around the country on his credit, and it they did
not join him (and share the plumber with him, We
suppose,) he would shoot them down wherever ht
found them johnson wants to have a monop
oily of the business. He issued flaming proc
iamation. he styles John C.. Breckenridge a
statesman and a patriot, when everybody knows
he is a perurcd traitor.
A number of marauders were in Henderson yes.
terday morning-Fisher, Hicks and Others OF
like character
Their movement would seem to indicate that
they playing off and on, as to lure some OF
the Union men back to the town, that they may
crown their ylllainy with murder They will. it
is to be hoped. st~y little too late in Henderson
The vengeance 0fthe people is pretty well aroused
and the Government they have insnlted and the
laws they have outraged have marked these fell
lows for punishment. Ii will fall on them when
least expected. The cup of their iniquity is al
most full.
About y o'clock the Eugene arrived and re
ported that they had not been mOlesteI. Ii was
reported that about thirty guerrilas were in town
but were not doing anything. One of them was
sitting his horse the bank watching the
boat. He was supposed to be picket.
The Commercial aud Lebanon came in later in
the day, but brought nothing new. 1t was re
ported during the afternoon that some twenty FIVE
of the guerrillas were on the point four or five
miles below town.
Ii was also snid that some forty of them had
started for Green river to intercept the Matte
Cook and get her mail.
We give these reports as We get them, as in the
midst of so many conflicting rumors it Is imposSi
BILE TO determine what is the truth.

Gnerillas and Sharp Shooters.

Hunter and Haeck in Missouri and the tede- raj commanders in other States have issued manifestoes and proclamations against guerillas, and threaten to hang them as soon as caught. The great danger to an invading army when 1t is advancing into hostile country, is in having its trains cut off its rear blocked and avenues of retreat closed. An enemy with 50,000 men, with guerillas about them must leave detach- ment of troops at every mile or half mile Of the line over which he marches and by which he expects to receive supplies, so that by the time lie has marched a hundred miles he has left half his army behind him. It is then that small parties of mounted men, dashing at some exposed point on the lines, may destroy train, capture the outposts and do infinite mischief The federal commanders dread this, above all things, and hence their attempts to frighten brave men from attacking them when and where they are most vulnerable. Herein lies the weak ness of an invading army, and our great strength if we will but use it.
 The operations of Jeff. Thompson and Me- Bride in Missouri, of Morgan in Tennessee, and OlficF 4udLlOHS anu culupttio III olAci CtdLto; have done more to cripple the enemy and tire him of this war than did his defeat at Manassas. One hundred mounted rangers can keep line of twenty five miles in length in constant dread and every day or two can strike an effective blow
 We have driven the enemy from Arkansas but should he. again enter the State, small force behind him can cut off his communion ton and render the invading army an easy prize to the patriots in front.
 The federals have companies of sharp shoo ters. and when McCulloch, Mcintosh and Slack were killed, it was found that each met his death from rifle ball. The two former were shot near the heart; the latter in the right side. The smoke from the rifles with which they were shot was seen coming from behind the trees where the sharp shooters were hidden. The marks men are western men, picked from the different regiments and instructed 10 select officers. Ne have the material for a regiment of sharp shoo ters. second to none in the world; men who, with a common rifle, can knock squirrel from the top of the taIest tree, or shoot deer off hand at distance of hundred yards. Who will get up a company of sharp shooters? They should be active, wiry, cool men, who wouN be permitted to take sheltered positions and fire whenever they could draw bead on an officer. We must have sharp shooters and thus fight the devil with fire.

James M. Tebbetts. of Fayetteville.

We are satisfied that great injustice has been done this gentleman. and as we published the
 reports concerning him, to his prejudice, it is but justice to him and to our own character for fairness that we give the counter statement.- Mr. Tebbetts was accused of being in cores
 pondence with the enemy, of feasting the federal
 officers upon their arrival at Fayetteville, and of furnishing them with q union flag to be hois ted on the courthouse. These charges were so
 positively made and his arrest followed so
 soon, that few doubtel his guilt. We con
 versel with several, after his arrest, who
 pronounced the charges against him false, and
 who claimed him as loyal citizen of the Con-
 federacy. His case was invest tigated by Major
 Sayory, the provost marshall at Van Buren, on the 20th ult., and after patient and full hearing he was discharged. There was no evidence to substantiate the charge against him, and his arrest was pronounced, by the marshal, to have been great outrage.
 In letter from 9 valued friend giving us a circumstantial account of the whole matter, he says
 "There was not a faint shadow of testimony to support any one of the charges against him; on the other hand, his liberality to our soldiers and cause was abundantly proven. To give you in stance: During the investigation captain in Prices army stepped in and enqured what was going on lie was told that It trial for treason, and Tebbetts was pointed out as the accused party.-- The captain instantly exclaimed: That charged with treason. why he is the very man who gave one of my men a splendid saddle horse, re- iu5ng offers or proposals to pay 1 tell you that almost irreparable injury has been done to good, true and ,aithful citizen He has been torn from his family had to bear the odium of an arrest for treason and his presumed guilt trumpeted through out the country, without opportunity of meeting hls accusers or retuting the calumnies. It is(a burning shame'
 The gentleman who writes the above is one ln whom we have every confidence, and if our paper has been the means of doing Mr. Tebbetts inJustice by publishing the charges against him, we now make the amend in our power by writ ing this article. We are glad that this matter has turned out so not only for the sake of the accused, but as showing that treason at the South is not half so rampant as has been sus> pected. It was mortifying to think that gen tleman ofthe abilities of Mr. Tebbetts one who ! had held important and lucrative positions, and | who had risen to wealth and distinction among us, should play us false. While some boldly l assert his innocence others as stoutly insist up. on his guilt. The flag no doubt was taken from Mr. Tebbetts' house during his absence. Why | t was there, CT how the federal officers knew 1t

Col. Stand watie's Cherokee Regiment.

Our friend E. C. Boudinot is the Major of this gallant regiment It was raised by Gen. Nc, Culloch, for frontier service, but was transferred to Pike's brigade. It has been the picket guard for our army in the west from the l2th of July last. until the battle at Elkhorn.
 Mir. Boudinot writing to a friend, in a lertCr moi intended for publication, gives an account of some of the doings ofthe regiment. We can not refrain from making an extract
 "We cleaped out the neutral lands; made the first and believe, the only invasion into Kansas; took town, Humboldt; pulled down the stars and stripes and ran up the stars and bars, and cut up various shines. We fed, clothed and maintained ourselves from the enemy; never asking or recey- inc so much as pound of coffee or four from the government, until November. Since the battle of Chustahuahla our regiment has kept the wide nrairies north west of Grand river and the Kansas line we'll watched. Though scantily provided with tents and clothing, our accomplishing soldiers have never thought of winter quarters, but have been active, alert and continually on the move.
 We were in the recent fight, and had the honor of yAsef6g iii fKsee ,-4s on battery, which was taken in the twinkling ol an eye,~.cn . believe is the expression usedto deu e thing done I,nfS- ly and efiectualy."
 Col Waite is a brave and patriotic man, and with his regiment, has done glorious service for the Confectionery. Success to him. and when our independence shall have been won. the his torian must devote a chapter or at least page to Stand Waite and his brave regiment.

ANOTHER CowARDLY MAYoE.-The Yankees have possession of Jacksonville Florida. The enemy, three thousand strong, were marching upon the city, and the mayor, II. H. Hoeg, is, sued "a proclamation, as mean spirited and craven as q white man ever wrote. He advised sur render and told the people if they did not show fight and give up their arms the fedcrals might be induced to spare them. The patriotic cti, zens became indignant at the base proposition, and the cowardy mayor, dreading to face the storm he had raised, made his escape. \ man named Remington, native of the North, upon the near approach of the fclerals, threw off the mask and began to talk treason. The citizens immediately stopped the wagging of his foul tongue by putting bullet through his head.- Two other Yankee residents were shot while at- tempting to reach the federal army. The citi- zens then burnt the steamboats, lumber and flour mills, all the lumber in the place, Mooney s foundry, 9 Confederate gun boat, then on the stocks, the Judson House, the Robinson block and other buildings.
