The city is entirely quiet. even the
bitterest Secessionists acknowledge that
our military authorities are treating
them cruelty kind. All admit the vast
superiority in arms, equipments, and
appearance Of our troops, and say that
so far there has been the most admira-
bic discipline displayed. They admit
also that the "Hessians" have not COM
mitted single outrage, while the con-
duct oi their own troops was outrage
Gus.
Union men begin to make their ap-
pearanee. They say majority will
yet be found on our side, but it will take
some time to develop the feeling that
has been so thoroughly crushed.
A postal agent is here from Washing
ton. He will open the Post Office to-
morrow. He has already had forty
citizens applying for clerkshipsin IL.
Information from reliable sources
confirm the statement that Besuregard
has evacuated Columbus and gone
down the river to Island No. 10, about
one hundred miles below. There were
but $4,000 men in Columbus for some
time before the evacuation. The belief
among well-informed residents here,
however, is that the Columbus troops
will leave the Mississippi river and
unite with johnson, Floyd, Pillow. and
the rest. near Decatur, Ala, on the
Muscle Shoals of Tennessee river. tits
thought no probability exists Of making
stand at Murfreesboro; and many say
they are so dlsorganized that an ener-
getic pursuit will find them i'll prepared
to make stand anywhere. II is more
probable they will select Decatur. be-
cause it is beyond gunboat navigation
on the Tennessee.
Small forces are still at Cumberland
Gap.
Nothing heard Of Parson Brownlow.
The last known of him here be was
very low with hemorrhage Of the lungs,
in honorable confinement at his own
house.
The Nashville Banner publishes an
extra this morning giving the history Of
the taking of Fort Donelson and subse-
quent matters. It says the sudden
flight Of the Governor end all State Off
GERS. including the General Assembly, |
who took special train through to
Memphis, increased the alarm caused |
by the Donelson defeat. About this
lime Johnson's army from Bowling
Green entered the city. passing South,
eaving the impression that no stand
was to be made for the defense of Nash
