TIE WAR IN TENNESSEE,

X special despatch to the Chicago Times, dated Ciarksyille the 23d instant, gives the fol- lowing gloomy account of the state of feeling among the population there: It says there s but one union man in the place, and he IS sixty years old. or he would have been killed long ago. The Hon. Cave Johnson, who was a powerful advocate for the union until the WAT commenced, Is now as powerful an advocate on the other side. He says that the only effect of success will be to drive the people of Tennessee into the mountains, and render them desperate.
 There IS not a spark ot union feeling here, and no one pretends to disguise the fact. The people of ClarkSville glory iii secession; bat at the same time, they are trembling lest the town should be burned There was large quantity of rebel stores, portion Of which was carried of and the remainder destroyed The rebel leaders shipped q thousand negroes last week from Clarksyie
 From the following, which We copy from the New York Herald, II appears that the London Times correspondent has again been treadinG upI the toes of the lincolnites.

The first should rain his character as a militia " seer forever, and the second is of equal val ue with hls description of the battle of Bull Run He says that the army of the Potomac is not likely to move until winter is over, and adds positively that a " "mutinous spirit prevails among the men.

 My company was the color company at which the rebels took particular aim; as fast ons man who carried it would he shot another would take his place, but the flag was brought through. Only one hundred and sixteen remains in the lth regiment uniniured.
