IEOFETEENTs On THE IENNEsSEAkl' b
Ourlatest intelligence Of the movements Of the
enemy is that "a large force has been landed on
the west bank of the Tennessee at Chalk Bluffs,
twenty-six miles from CoTinta. AT this point it
is said they have thrown up defenses Of consid-
erable strength and extent They have also com
menced the construction Of a road in the direc-
ton Of Corintb, several miles Of which have al
ready been completed Their force now concen-
trated on the river Is vanousiy estimated at from
forty to sixty thousand.
The outrages committed by their scouting and
foraging parties upon the property Of the States
Rights men, are reported to be Of the most de-
suuctive character. In every instance all per
sonal property that they cannot remove, or that
would not be of service to themselves, IS utterly
destroyed Instead Of making converts to their
cause, their conduct is having the contrary effect,
as has been the result of all their forays into the
country.

-. ATKINs AND GKN. IOmNsT0N.

Z
It viii be seen from the following remarks Of
Mr.. ATKINS, Of this State, in the House of Rep
resentatives, that the telegraph, as usual, has
been putting the cart before the horse. He was
represented by the telegraph as having said that
the members Of the Tennessee Legislature had
petitioned the President to remove Gen. JOIN
sToN from the command Of this military depart
ment. From the subjoined statement of his re-
marks, which we find in the report of Congress
sioual proceedings, published in the Richmond
Examiner, it viii be seen that it was the men,
beTs of Congress from this State who had handed
in such a petition, and not the members Of the
State Legislature.
1t is with view to this correction that we re-
produce the remarks Of Mr.. ATKINS:
Mr Atkins said he did not assail the patriotism
Of General Johnson He distinctly said that
no one doubted the patriotism of that officer.
But as to his popularity and the want of con-
fdence exhibited by the people and the army
there was no doubt; and such was the impress
sion made npon the delegation from tlHt State in
both branches of Congress, by letters and other
information of UndOubted reliability that pet-
ton had been sent to President Davis, signed by
every member, both Senators and members Of
the House from Teunessee, with the exception Of
the member from the Knoxville district Mr.
Swami importuning the President to remove A
Sydney Johnston from the command Of the de
partment Of Tennessee. He regretted that he
had been forced TO speak so plainly; but he
owed q duty TO the people whom he represented,
and be would discharge il in the face Of all men
Mr.. Davis, OF Mississippi, defended General
Johnston as having used 20 the best advantage
all the means in his power to bring about the
most desirable results.
Mr. GRAY of Texas, and Mr.. MOORE, of
Kentucky, also defended Gen. JOHNSTON.

A VIdosors PRosEcrroN OF THE WAR;.
We can credit the indications around us, and
the statements we hear in we'll informed circles
the winter will no. set in before there are active
naval and military operations, promising any
hing but qualification to the rebels in arms.
Plans are already fully matured which are
comprehensive In their scope, and waich can
not, it seems to us, fail of complete success II
carried out as they have been devised.
Unless all indications are meaningless and
all plans fail in execution, most thorough and
complete victories over the rebels, may be
ooked for ere long
1t is certain now that most vigorous pros
ecution Of the war is fully determined upon,
and all that human sagacity may be able to
devise and human skill execute, will be seen
IN the further prosecution Of this war for the
restoI1tion Of the Union.

THE BUCHANAN DEMOCRACY.

Strenuous exertious are being made to restore
the Buchanan Democracy to power. The
work commenced in Maine, and now all there
is Of the Democracy in that State is com.
pletely under the leadership Of Buchananism,
the Douglas leaders having sold out. They
gain there one member Of Congress.
In Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana, they
have done better. Buchananism may be said
to be Triumphant in those States. So we 90.
Will there be any check to this march of Bu-
chanism? We can tell after 4th November.
We trust the people will see the evil tendency
Of things, and put stop to this progress Of
treason.
II Gen. SCOTS letter does not open the eyes
Of the loyal people North to the real charac.
ter Of Bucbananism, we can't see much hope
Of the nation.
"Thst old public functionary" is said to have
given $4,000 to the cause in Pennsylvania
and he may well rejoice, for though he did
not defeat Mr.. Stevens, be has the Democratic
party, what there is of it, in bis power.
The country may depend upon it, Buchan
anism is restored to power already In several
States, and it is seeking power 10 others
through such men as Horatio Seymour, John
Van Buren, Mr.. O'Gorman, Jas. Brooks, and
others, and has the aid of such papers as thu
Herald, Erpress and World.
The adroit leaders of this resuscitated and
resuscitating Democracy may, nay, doubtless
will, deny that they are under the Leadership
Of Buchanan, but it is nevertheless true, aut
future developments, should they get int
power In the nation, will show it.
Who are these leaders2 Were any of then
friends Of Mr.. Douglas? With rare excep
tions they belong to the Buchanan aud Breck
enrbge Democracy.
They are seeking for power to overthrow
the present Administration, to bring back tn
country to the state Of things that existed il
Buchanan's reign.
| Preserving the Constitution as it is" an,
restoring the Union as it was" means put
ting themselves again into power and exalt
i ing slavery to the throne. This is all.
