An Eloquent and Timely Appeal.

A lady writes who signs herself "Triste'
in number of tho Memphis Appeal, ad-
dressed to the young men Of that city
thus eloquently and pointedly addresses
them. Let young men elsewhere read
this eloquent rebuke, and come out at
once, and assist to defend the country.
Think of those lovely ones gulping
down the indignation they dare not utter
as the rude slur and offensive words OF
hated, and abhorred hirelings meet them
at every turn-their watchword, beauty
and booty Young men, come out from
behind the counters. Go from behind
molasses and sugar casks. Take the pen
from behind your ears. Wash the INK
from your finger lips. Stave the ledger
across the counting-room. Grasp your
musket, or what is better, your cold steel,
and be off. The very sight of broad
clothed, frangifanni, perfumed, macassar-
haired, vigorous, hale young man behind
counter, is blasting mildew to the eye
balls of patriotism | have ever been an
admirer of perfect manhood when ! could
think what noble spirit must actuate
such form, but now am ashamed to
look you straight in the face as you meas
ure my tape for fear you will divine my
thoughts and blush. ! am afraid to mem
ton the names of our brave soldier boys
for fear it will give you offense. Young
men, from behind those orange stalls,
their cigar stands, at their desks, in their
bar.rooms and restaurants, in their bug
ges and on their fine horses, for the love
Of heaven come out! The sight of your
bright, happy faces makes my heart sick.
Heads of frms there are plenty OF young
women who IN this emergency, could
make excellent clerks and need your
money. Take them to sell your dry goods
and cease making counter-hoppers Of
your young men when you could make
soldiers OF them.

Threatening Aspect of Things in
East Tennessee.

A correspondent Of the Memphis Ara'
iancls, gives the following glowing account
of public sentiment in East Tennessee:
The rumcred condition of the interior
counties of East Tennessee is not improy-
ed by the lapse of time. The people ap-
prehend an immediate advance OF the
Mortimer. and traitors TO the South
eyince their Joy in every village and
neighborhood. Johnson and Maynard
have advised their friends that they would
soon return to their homes, and that the
grasp OF seoessionism should soon DO fe-
laxed." The scouts of the enemy have
penetrated, so dame rumor tells us, TO
jamestown, within fifty mi'es Of Knox
vile. Many of these stories are unfoupd-
ed, and Others. perhaps exaggerated.-
Still the actual condition OF popular sen.
timent in East Tennessee is i'll understood
10y southern statesmen and military chief
tains. There is at this juncture peculiar
value attached to the possession OF Fast
Tennessee, not only because IL gives us
railway connection with Virginia. but lis
productive hillsides and valleys must fur
nish vast supplies for our armies during
the next year.
The enemy are reported $4,000 strong
at Beech Grove, the scene OF the late de-
feat. The Unionists are making demon
strations in many Of the Northern coun
ties, and even here there were exhibitions
of JOY on the arrival Of the news from
Beech Grove. Armed bands of Johnson's
and Maynard's followers are prowling
about in all directions through the noun
tains. In remote counties many have
been shot, at night in their own houses,
who adhered to the fortunes of the South.
Men stand as sentinels by turn at every
house, and the farmer no longer opens his
| door to every wayiarer. You can imagine
no condition of society more deplorable
than that which will exist in East Ten
nessec, should the Lincolnites succeed in
sending an army into our midst. A broth
er shall imbrue his hands in brothers
blood, private wrongs and personal hates
will be terribly avenged. The assassin will
do deeds of fearful violence. From con-
temptation of all the horrors which stalk
abroad at MONDAY and make night hide
Gus, humanity will start back aghast.-
Villages will be burned and towns laid
desolate.
If by mere force Of numbers the North
expects to overpower and humiliate us,
there is one recourse left-we can desc
late the country as Northern armies ad-
vance; we shall burn villages and towns;
the crops and cattle must be utterly de-
stroyed, and invading armies must be
starved into helplessness. The Russians
acted well and patriotically when their
empire was assailed by Napoleon's irresis-
tible hosts; but the South, when pene-
trated by invading armies, will leave q
history which shall be as most extraya-
CANT fiction in point of selfinflicted suffer
ings, when contrasted with that which
details the sacrifices of the Russians.

We beg our readers to read over again
and again, the history of the past. See
what our liberties cost and ask yourselves
the question shall rhey be surrendered
Take the following items, gathered from
Mrs Ellets Womep of the Revolution.
eJSDartoab,rg Eapre'S
Mrs Anderson, Fishing Creek, Chester Dis
trict.
The food on which Mrs. Anderson and
her children subsisted during the winter
was chiefly bread, though occasionally {
little meat was brought to her by patrol
ling Wings In February, when, in 9
Southern climate, the winter begins tC
soften into spring, she contrived to build
up the rock dam at the place used for 8
fish trap, spending the whole of severa
days, while at work, in the water up tc
her knees. When the fish began to run
she carried home each day what she had
taken. Some days she made several trips
and the gain was proportionate. These
fish she dried in the wooden chimney
hanging them all the way up, and thus
supplying herself with provisions against
time of need. Often hasSh been heard
to say that her life at this period was not
an unhappy one, though she suffered
many privations. Incessant occupations
kept her thoughts from dwelling on past
sorrows, or anticipating distress, and her
trust was placed III Him who has said tc
the faithful, al will never leave thee MOI
forsake thee"
Young Ladies in tic Same NeighJorlood
The young women went day after day
from one farm to another, and reaped the
crop with the assistance OF the matron'
and few old men. The only question
they asked was: "Is. the owner out with
the fighting mem" and an affirmative an
swerwas sufficient to engage them at once
in labor.
Mrs Potter, near GriadaN &hoal.
At one time the family lived chiefly on
roasted corn, without bread, meat or salt
Hickory ashes were used with small
quantity Of salt for preserving beef when
it could be had. Leather shoes were re.
placed by woollen rags, sowed round tho
feet, and of beds or bedding none was
left, The beds were generally ripped open
by the doprcdatols, tie feathers scattered
and the ticking used for ten, cloths. The
looms were robbed Of cloth found in
them and hence the women of the coun
try resorted to various expedents tc
manufacture clothing and prepare it fol
their own use. A family residing on the
Pacolette built loom between four trees
in the forest and wove IN fair weather
covering the loom and web with cowhide.
