CAVE JOHNSON A UNION MAN

CAVE JOHNSON Union MAs,-A
dispatch from Clarksville, Tenn, to tn,
Chicago Tribune, (printed Friday, re.
presents Hon. Cave johnson of Tennessee.
as an out-and-out rebel. The Cairo cor.
respondent ofthe Cincinnati Gazette give,
an account of an interview between Com.
modore Foote and Mr.. johnson, which.
on the contrary, goes to show that the lat.
ter is still deyofed to the Union. We
quote as below. The letter is dated
Feb. %:
Commodore Foote arrived at Cain
last evening on board the Conestoga, from
the Cumberland River. He left Clarks.
vile early in the morning. On Friday
last, the Hon. Cave johnson, president
Folks Postmaster g ueral), visited the
Commodor- at Clarksville, and had a
lengthy consultation with him. He said
a vast majori'~ of the people of that par.
of Tennessee are Unlon men, and ha I
been forced into the secession whirlpool
by such men as Gov. Harris. In reply,
the Commodore authorized Mr.. johnson
to announce to all loyal citizens that the
gunboats, as well as the army, would pro.
tect them and their property, in every
place and at all tines. The conference
was highly satisfactory, and will no doubt
result in much good TO the Union cause
The Tribune's correspondent at Clarks
vile also asserts that there is but one
Union man in that place, but other cor
respondents tell different story. The
Cincinnati Times correspondent says
there are large numbers OF Union men in
the town, which held out against secession
till the last moment.

(Applause,) The rights of mankind,
that precious word which had no equiv
alent in the language Of Hindostan, or
Judea, or Greece, or Rome, or any ante
Christian tongue, found its supporters in
Washington and Hamilton, in Franklin
and Livingston, in Otis, George Mason
and Gadsden, in all the greatest men OF
our early history. The one rule from
which the makers of our first conieder-
acy, and then of our national constitution,
never swerved, is this-To fix no consti-
tutional disability on any one; wha ever
might stand in the way of any man from
opinion, ancestry, weakness of mind, in
feriority or inconvenience Of any kind,

disfranchisement The Constitution OF

of order and right" so that as far as its

condition of persons; ir neither originates
nor perpetuates inequality.

The long looked for day of activity along
the line of the Potomac has at last dawned.
The rebellion is to be met in its stronghold.
Before the expiration of the present week we
shall expect to hear of bloody work at Ma
nassas. Tie arm of Gen. McClellan is up
lifted, and the blow which will scatter the
rebel army of the Potomac like chat before
the wind, is about to be struck. OF coul Sc
we know nothing definitely of the plans Of
the COMMUNICATIVE nor would we be
permitted to make them public did we know
them. But the nation is breahless with ex-
pectation of great events. 1t is already dis
closed by permission of the military authori-
ties that both the right and left wings of our
army are advancing and making flank move
ments upon the enemy's works. We do not
doubt that theresult will be glorious The
conflict may be bloody, but 1t will be decisive
Blood may flow in torrents,--thousand oil
our brave soldiers may be made to bite the
dust,-but over the field of slaughter and
carnage the proud old flag of our country
will float in triumph, and the last and mos
formidable position Of the rebels will be in
the possession of our victorious troops
Heaven grant that it may be the end of tn.

Gen. Curtiss's entire command arrived
at Helena on the 11th. The army left
Batesyille June 24th, and reached Jackson
port on the 26th, and on the Cd of july
started across the country.
On the 4th when the 18th Illinois were
coming down White river with a load of cot
ton they were fired on by guerillas seven
miles below Grand Glasse. The fire was
returned and the rebels fed. A contra
band taken on board the next day, saws he
saw nineteen dead rebels near the scene of
action on the 7th.
Gen. Curtiss' advance, consisting Of a
battalion of the First Indiana cavalry.
Eleventh Wisconsin, and Thirty-third nj.
were attacked by two regiments of Texan
cavalry and large force of infantry. The
Federals had four mounted howitzers.
which were brought to bear on the rebels
with effect, causing their cavalry to break
IN disorder, riding over infantry, throwing
them into confusion, and terminating in
the utter route Of the rebels. They we're
pursued by our forces, who captured q
large number of prisoners. Our troops
buried one hundred and ten rebels on the
tield. Our loss was eight killed-among
them Capt. Sloane of the 1lth Wisconsin
and thirty-twO wounded Major Glen
den, Of the lst Indiana Cavalry, was Sc
riously injured.
The rebels had no artillery, which ae-
counts for their heavy loss as compared
with ours.
Notwithstanding long, forced marches,
short rations, &C., Gen. Curtis army is in
good condition When he arrived at Hele-
ma he had but three days supplies.

DRrvINa THE STATE FAM AWAY FRON
CLEvELAND.-AoeOrding to the reports fur
nished Us, DR.. Seelye, Of the Water Cure, has
been guilty Of a very small act BY which a
very great harm may have been done. To
accommodate the State Fair, vacant lot
was enclosed, a part Of Forest street.
upon which we're no houses, and which was
but little used, being also enclosed. While
there was, perhaps, no legal right to thus
close this street, il was taoitly allowed for
the sake Of the convenience thereby grant
ed to the State Board, while nobody was
seriously inconvenienced. But It seems
that DIR, Seelye Of the Water Cure was ac-
custOmed to drive through Forest street
from Seoville avenue to Kinsman street.
His direct route toward his Cure would be
through Kinsman street, or If he must 60
by Seoville avenue, twas but trife far
ther to go by way of Case or Wilson ave
nues. But, finding his accustomed way
hedged up, he suddenly became
very scrupulous about the legal aspect
of the case, and on Tuesday night he
put party of men at work to tear away the
fences across Forest street, and thus leave a
passage for his carriage. To be sure he was
injuring the State Board of Agriculture, and
through them the whole State Of Ohio, but
what was that, compared to his convenience
and his mighty sense of the lnw7 What will
be the result of this action on his part, We can
not certainly say, but is not impossible that
the State Board will locate the State Fair at
some other point, and thereby deprive Cleve-
land of all the benefits that would be deriv
ed from having it held here. What a debt
Of gratitude the people of this city and vicin-
ity viii owe to the self-saeriheing
spirit sf this legal stickler, and how he will
laugh in his sleeve at the success he has had
in driving over the whole State of Ohio
with his horse and buggy
Seriously, such contemplate conduct on
the part of DR.. seelye can only be character
lied by terms of the very strongest condem-
nation and rebuke from an outraged com
munity.
