east TENNESSEE FREE.
CHATTANOOGA CAPTURED.

WASHINGTON, June IA dispatch from
General Nagley to Governor johnson, an
nounces tie success of his expedition to
East Tennessee. He took eighty prisoners
including a number OF prominent officers, a
drove of cattle, and large number of
horses intended for the rebel army.
The defeat Of General Adams rebel force
in Sweeden'e Cove, was more complete than
at first supposed. Adams escaped without
hat, sword or horse.
The rebel batteries at Chattanooga were
slenced on the 7th, after heavy cannona-
ding of three hours. Our forces opened FIRE
next day, and continued it for six hours
upon the town and rife pits, driving the
enemy out of his works, and forcing him to
evacuate the city. They burnt all the rail.
road bridges to prevent pursuit.
A great many applications are made at
the executive Office for passes to Memphis.
Representative Maynard, Of Tennessee,
received telegram from Gov. johnson, to
the effect that the rebels were reported as
retreating from Cumberland Gap towards
Chattanooga. II so, East Tennessee is at
last freed, and General Morgan can imme-
diately take possession.

Some people have wondered at the high
praise given SEDaw1cKs Division in the
battle of Fair Oaks and particularly at the
honors won by our Minnesota First, with q
loss Of only four men killed and wounded.
A correspondent Of the Herald throws some
light on the subject. He says:
"A popular error prevails in regard to the
fighting qualities displayed by different reg
iments in the same action. Many people,
perhaps majority of the readers OF news
papers, conclude that the regiment which
shows the largest list Of killed and wound
ed, has done the hardest fighting. This is
popular error. The regiment that is ham
died with the most skill in approaching the
enemy, and which makes the most ener.
getic and overwhelming charge upon them,
suffers much less than one which is awk-
wardly posted, which neglects to throw out
skirmishers and is brought in front of the
fire at disadvantage. In a recent battle
certain regiment, whose Colonel sat be.
hind woodpile holding his horse during
the action, sustained heavy loss at the first
volley of the enemy and but little execution
was done by that regiment. Iheregiments
who charged upon the enemy and saved the
fortunes of the day, and secured the victory,
show much smaller lose than the enemy
alluded to. Those who judge of battalions
by the results in killed and wounded, would
doubtless conclude, in this and in similar in.
stances, that the most inefficient and waver-
ing were the bravest.

Affairs Before RichmOnd--Delay of tn
Movement Of the Army.

The New York Times of Mondoy has an
article which appears to be an apology for
MCCLELLANs delay in attacking Richmond
One of the reasons assigned is terrible
storm on Monday succeeding the battle OF
Fair Oaks, which sweled the streams he has
to cross, so as to render them almost im-
passahle for several days. By the dispatches
published yesterday, we learn that the storm
continued for week or more afterwards.
The article goes on to show that the Con.
federate army numbers 100000 men, and
that it is we'll disciplined and determined to
make desperate defence of Richmond, and
that it is wiser to overrate than to under-
rate the strength of the enemy.
We quote the conclusion of the article:
There is DO reason why General McClel-
Ian, or the Government, in the present as.
peet of affairs, should run any risk whatever
of defeat or even half victory in front OF
Richmond. 1t is the last stronghold OF
the rebels. At every other point their power
has been broken and their armies scattered.
A decisive victory here ends the campaign,
if not the war. We can take our own
time,-and can make victory absolutely
certain. Indeed, it is our duty to do
80 before we venture upon fight. If the
general contest we're undecided, if our
armies were needed elsewhere, if delay in-
volved loss to US and augmented strength
to the enemy, or if our cause needed the
prestige of victory, or of desperate attempt
to secure it, there would be reason for tak-
ing risks, and for trusting to superior valor
and endurance, without regard to numbers
But to do so now would be crime-one
which, if the attempt were not crowned by
success, would incur the swift and lasting
reprobation of the people upon the authority,
whether military or civil, who should prove
to have been responsible for it. We do
not believe that either General Mcclellan
or President Lincoln will take any such risk,
orput the Union cause in any such needless
jeopardy.
1t is not unlikely that we may hear Of an
assault upon Richmond at any moment.
When we do we shall have the utmost con-
fidence in its success: for we do not believe
that Mcclellan will incur for himself, bis
army, the Government and the Union, the
enormous risks of an assault for which he
cannot predict an absolute and nearly cer~
tain success,-unless, indeed, he should be
ordered persmptorily from Washington to
make it; and we have too much reliance on
the Presidents prudence to believe that any
such order will issue. If, on the other hand
the movement is not made at once, we shall
find full justification for the delay in the
necessity OF providing for the co operation
of other forces, in order to secure that cer-
tainty of success to which, in the present
condition Of affairs, the country is entitled.

FROM NJ E M p HI IS

MEMPHIS, June 11.--Intelligence was
received this morning that as soon as the
news of the defeat of the rebel feet here and
the surrender of this city reached st.
Francis river, Arkansas, steamer, acting
under General Hindman's order, went up
and down that stream, and destroyed sever.
al thousand bales of cotton. Some four
hundred bales were burned at Madison, Ar.
kansas, about forty miles west of here.
Throughout yesterday and last night the
city was as quiet as any Northern city. To.
day some of the stores are open, and Con
fsderate scrip is being pretty generally re.
fused.
There has been no movement either in the
feet or land forces since Friday.
1t is said as much as three thousand bales
of cotton have been burned here.
Not much business is being done, and
currency is left to regulate itself.
MEMPHIS, June l0.-Qaiet pervades the
city. The ready submission of the inhabit.
ants to Federal rule is not only surprising
but gratifying.
The civil authorities continue to exercise
their functions as heretofore.
The Provost Marshal's Office is thronged
with applicants for permits to proceed
north. All persons are required to take
the cath before permission is granted.
Jackson's rebel cavalry, which have been
lowering about the city ever since the federal
occupation, is said to have gone to Holley' s
Springs.
AS most of them are largely interested in
this city, it is improbable that they will
make any attempt to burn it.
The Recorder was yesterday arrested by
the Provost Marshal for causing the arrest
of citizens in for conversing in the streets
with Union soldiers.
The rebel cavalry are securing the coun.
try around Grand Junction.
Applications have been made to ship four
thousand bales of cotton have already been
made.
The Argus is still quiet, but outspoken
in secession sympathy.
The Aual0mche is more guarded and in.
clined to submit quietly. Both advise
peaceable submission to federal rule.
Many stores have been opened and re.
sumed business.
Some dealers refuse confederate money,
but receive Tennessee bank notes.
Two rebel steamers were captured yes.
terday above the city.

Texas Next i'm Order,

FEDERAL DEMAND FOR THE SURRENDER OF
GALVESTON.
Fhe following, relative to the Federal
demand for the surrender of Galveston,
Texas, we find in the Houston Telegraph of
the 23d ult.: ...-.
In order to allay excitement and prevent
unfounded rumors gaining currency, we
have obtained the following from official
sources:
Saturday morning the frigate Santee had
white flag up as signal of desire to
communicate with the shore. During the
day messenger came ashore, bearing the
following demand: c#
q. s. FRIaATE SANTEE.
OFF GALVESTON, Texas, May IL, 1862
To the Military Commandant commanding
Confederate forces, Galveston, Texas:
S1R-In few days the naval and land
forces of the United States will appear off
the town of Galveston to enforce its sur
render.
To prevent the effusion of blood and
destruction of property which would result
from the bombardment of your town, I
hereby demand the surrender of the pace,
with all its Notifications and batteries in it's
vicinity, with all arms and munitions of
war. trust you will comply with this
demand. ..... ...-.
HENRY EAGLE,
Captain commanding U. S. Naval Force off
Galveston, Texas.
The bearer of the above message stated
that an answer could be made any time
within twenty-four hours.
Owing to the wires being down during
the day, this message was not telegraphed
up till in the evening.
This morning General Herbert has in.
structed Colonel Cook to reply that when
the land and naval forces make their ap.
pearance the demand will be answered.
Meanwhile we can assure the people that
the island will not be given up on mere
paper bombardment. Nothing will be left
undone to provide for the enemy when he
comes.
The General commanding advises the peo.
pie to keep co0l-there is no danger. When
the enemy lands and endeavors to penetrate
into the interior, be will be fought on every
inch of ground. In the meantime every
man should stand by his arms and be ready
to take the field at moments warning
The above is all that has taken place that
is of interest to the public.
GALVESTON. Texas. May 22-SP. NJ.
The transport steamer lett for the east
ward this morning.
A Federal brig OF war has arrived today,
and is now lying at anchor with the Santee.
The foreign CoDsuls have communicated
with the Captain of the Santee, with a
view of fising upon some point that might
be respected in the bombardment as point
of refuge tor foreign subjects. The follow
ing is Captain Eagles reply to them:
U. s. FRIGATE SANTEE, May %.
GENTLEMEN Let me assure you, gen.
tlemen, that no person can deplore more
than myself the misery that would result
from bombardment of the town of Calves
ten and its Notifications, yet it is duty
that will become necessary to enforce its
surrender. 1t is not in my power to give
you any assurance of security during the
bombardment, for it is impossible to tell
what direction and shell will take.

Captain Commanding U. s. Naval forces

FROM SHIELDS DIVISION
ATTACKED BY JACKSON'S FORCES.

WASHINGTON, June H. Advices received
at the War Department, state that Jack.
sons army attacked Shields advance, on
Monday morning, near Port Republic
The conflict is said to have been main.
tanned for four hours by about 1000 OF our
men against the main body of General
Jackson's army. ...
The enemy's force became so overwhelm-
ing in numbers, that my advance W as COM
PEELED to fall back, which it did in good
order until it met the main body Of Shield s
command near Conrads Store.
As soon as this was effected the enemy 10
turn retired.
The fighting is said to have been severe
and losses heavy on both sides.
A private letter says General Shields
had previously succeeded in destroying a
large quantity of supplies belonging to the
rebels at Milford and at Conrad's store.
The damage by recent rains, including
carrying away bridges over the branch of
the Shenandoah river, materially interfered
with the commissaries' arrangements and
the movements of troops.
LURAY, June 10, via Washington.--Col.

manding it.
At A. NJ. Monday he was opened on by
some twenty heavy guns placed in position
during the night. Our forces tried to reac b
the bridge repeatedly to destroy it, but were
met by storms of bullets and had to retire.
A large cavalry force crossed and at
tackled our troops while their infantry fol.
lowed our men, opposing them at every
step after driving them back with heavy
loss, but the numbers after General Tyler's
brigade arrived were much inferior to the

ing every foot of the ground.
After falling back some three or four
miles, body Of cavalry were sent to attack
US, but they were compelled to retire when
the engagement ended, having lasted five
hours.
The loss in killed and wounded and pris.
oners is unknown, but is large, as is also
that of the enemy.
Col. Carroil's horse fell, ipjuring him
badly /; Capt. Kelly OF, Gen. Shields staff,
was hurt badly in the head. He received
praise from all who saw him fighting.
Col. Buckley, of the 29th Ohio, was badr
ly wounded. His men charged three times
to get his body, but it was carried of by
the enemy.
Capt. Keogh charged with body OF
cavalry then held the bridge some time
during terrible storm of grape.
This was one of the most hotIy contested
engagements of the whole war, as indicated
by the loss compared with the numbers en- .
gagged. The men fought like demons.
LATER.-The two. regiments from the
First Brigade, arrived in time to assist in
covering the retreat. The Pioneer corps
also helped. Colonel Buckley has arrived
wounded.

The Wheat Crop I'm the State.

We learn from gentlemen in town yester
day that the wheat crop in most parts Of
the State, looks exceedingly well, although
Hon. Mr.. Folsom of Tay!or's Falls, reports
the winter wheat in Chisago county, being
good deal injured by the drought. 1t is
understood that n most Of the counties west
OF the Mississippi the crops have not suffer-
ed for the want of rain. Should the wheat
be free from rust, the probabilities are that
we shall have an abundant crop.

Military Occupation of Memphis.


Upon taking military possession of Mem
phis, Colonel FITcH, as acting commander
of the post, issued the following general or
der:
HEADQUARTERS INDIANA BRIGADE,
Memphis, June 9TH, 1862.
The undersigned, with the troops under
his command, has taken military possession
of the city in the name of the Government
of the United States, for the purpose of as.
serting the supremacy of the Constitution
and laws of the Union, and restoring the
peace and protection of public and private
property and the lives of its citizens.
Hundreds who may have fed from their
homes are expected to return. Merchants
and others who have abandoned their bust.
ness, are requested to re-open their stores
and shops, excepting those dealing in intox.
icating liquors, who are forbidden to res
sumo that traffic, under penalty of having
their stock Immediately destroyed.
The Mayor and Common Council will
continue to exercise their municipal func-
tions. The military authorities simply CO.
operating in enforcing all proper ordinances
unless some exigency should arise rendering
it imperative to place the city under martial
law.
1t is hoped end believed, however, that
nothing will occur to render this step ne.
cessary. Certainly no act Of this command
will afford any pretext for citizens placing
themselves in that position.
Captain John Fl. Gould of the 46th In.
diana Volunteers, will act as Provost Mar
shall until further orders. Major John G..
Mayor of the Add regiment Of Indiana Vo.
lunteers, will have command of the pickets
and patrols.
