The destination was changed by Gen
Mcclellan. against the opinion of Gen
Burnside and of the Cabinet; but it was

Robert johnson, Esq, son of the patriotic
Senator from Tennessee, arrived in Wash
ington on Friday, in good health. Hestar-
ted from East Tennessee on the 4th inst,
and on his way to Washington visited the
Union camp at Flat Lick Ford, in the vi
cinity of Cumberland Gap. His presence
had most inspiring effect on the Tennes
see volunteers.
For two months before leaving Tennes
see. Mr.. johnson had been an exile from
the home Of his father in Greenville, visit
ing it only twice at night during that time
The National Inteligencer says.
On the 4th he resolved to run the hazard
or die in an effort to reach Kentucky
To effect this he travelled in anoriheasterly
direction towards and into Virginia. Until
reaching Lee county of the latter State he
walked during the night and stopped at the
houses of friends or acquaintances through
the day. In the county above named be
distrusted all, and was travelling two nights
through the mountains, carrying his food
with him and having no shelter or even a
blanket or overcoat. After this he made
detour around Cumberland Gap, which i
strongly fortified and guarded by therebels
He then readily gained the Federal lines
The Union spirit in East Tennessee is rep
resented to be as strong as ever, but battal'
ions of troops are stationed along the rail
road, and the bridges are particularly strong
y guarded. There are other routes to
East Tennessee than by Cumberland Gap
but as the Confederates have power TO con-
centrate their forces rapidly by the railroad
none but strong Federal column car
pierce that position and hold it. The in
domitable perseverance of this young man
in bis determination to escape from Sc
cessia, shows that he is 'chip of the ole

REBEL ATROCITIES IN EAST TENNESSEE.
The horrors of rebel supremacy in East
Tennessee have not yet been told. A
member of the Forty-ninth Indiana regi-
ment now at Cumberland Ford, says that
three hundred refugee East Tennesseeans
have enlisted within week, from whom
he gathers the following almost incredible
stories of the barbarties inflicted on the
Union mon by their rebel tyrants:
One man sixty-fve years old, attacked
by large force, refused to surrender, and
after being mortally wounded, having first
slain four Of his assailants, was propped up
on the road side and sixty balls fred into
his body. Another was hanged without
trial, and his son compelled to sit beneath
the gallows and witness the agonies Of his
dying father. Two others, unobtrusive,
quiet citizens, were called at midnight
from their beds, and in the presence Of
their wives and children brutaly shot down,
and not content with this villainy, their
homes were stripped of everything. Even
the wearing apparel was taken from their
wives and little ones, and they turned naked
into the street. Many equally brutal in
stances are related by honest, candid men,
whose testimony mono would doubt. Such
are the sufferings of apeOple whose only
crime is refusal 10 become traitors.

There is reason TO believe that attempts
will shortly be made to connect England
and America once more by tho electric
telegraph, and this time with greater in
creased prospects Of permanent success
Recent occurrences have impressed the
Governments of England and of the United
States with the enormous Importance of
such means Of communication; and the
President and Government Of the United
States have decided on giving every sup
port in their power 10 any well-considered
project Of that kind. The Government Of
the United States have, in a liberal manner,
offered to subscribe one-half Of the sum
which would be required for making the
cable, and give the use of vessels Of their
navy in assisting to lay it, provided the
British Government will grant tho remain
ing portion of the SUN. Mr.. Cyrus Field,
who took so active part in reference to
the former Atlantic telegraph, has, we are
informed, undertaken q mission to this
country, for the purpose Of inducing the
British Government to act in a spirit Of
equal liberality, and cooperating with this
friendly offer on the part Of the United
States. As further evidence Of the friendly
spirit which has actuated this oAcL the
Government OF the United States are pcr-
fectly content that the telegraph should
have is terminus on British territory, rs
thai will afford The nearest point Of commu-
nicatiOn with England or Ireland.---LoR-

A Brave FELLow.--In the Fort Henry
gunboat fight, in the explosion on the Es-
sex, one of tho seamen was shockipgly
scalded. His clothing was at once rsmov-
ed, lnseed oil and flour applied to his par
boiled flesh, and he was carefully wrapped
in blankets and placed in bed. A few mo-
ments after came the news that tho rebel
flag was struck, and the fort surrendered

berth, ran up on deck, and waved his blank

Stripes. The poor fellow, after the first ex-
citement was over, was assisted below, and
in the night be died, full Of rejoicing at the
triumph Of tho old flag.

ED.- One of the great periis that uOil hear

d6jsct appeals for forgiveness and mercy
for those s0ho have plunged the country in

Burial OF the Dead at Fort DOneIsOn.
A correspondent of the indianapolis Jour
nal, who accompanied Gov. Morton on his
visit to the wounded at Fort Donelson, gives
the following account of the manner in
which our dead we're buried:
II will here mention for the benefit of
friends, that the dead were buried by the
to which they belonged. Each
company was TO march past the dead where
they were laid oat to be recognized by their
own comrades. They buried them, and
placed at the head of each grave board to
designate where, who, to what regiment
and company they belonged"

The rebels have done pretty extensive
business in Kentucky in slave stealing from
the Union men. Gen. Grant found Twelve
such in Fort Donelson and returned them
10 their Union masters, and Mr.. Grider, of
Ky, stated on the floor Of Congress that
100000 worth Of slaves, belonging TO
Uniopists were taken from three counties
Of Kentucky BY fleeing rebels.
