The main body of Gen. Banks divis-
ion rests in the vicinity of Charlestown.
No disaster or accident has occurred since
the concentration at aud departure from
Sandy Hook to cause any anxiety to the
friends at home. The hitherto rancorous
Secessionists now pay marked respect to
the Federal uniform. The citizens who
have been compelled to succumb to rebel
force are now elated with the prospects
Of the future. 1t is gratifying to per-
ceive that the country through which the
army marched, bears marks of the usu-
al agricultural industry. 1t is appa-
rent that the future cereal crops of this
prolific region have not been neglected.
As may be supposed, town and country
are destitute of imported articles of con-
sumption. There is no lack of bread,
meat and coarse clothes. Hundreds of con-
trabands are hourly seeking refuge within
our lines, but they are allowed to roam at
large without espionage or care. In fact
but little notice is taken of them except
so prevent their return beyond our post
The general reports from Winchester are
conflicting and but little reliance can be
placed on them coming as they do from
refugees and contrabands. The military
commanders are undoubtedly better in
formed than the public and are conse-
quently prepared for any emergency which
may arise. Considerable -four accred-
tied to the Secession army has been seiz-
ed, but private property has been strictly
respected. Martinsbnrg has been occu.
| pied BY Union troops.

have been forced into strife from which
thsre has been no safe sscaps but BY the
manifestation of an immense superiority
Of strength. The ages that are 10 come
viii hold close and severe reckoning
with the men in power today on the
methods which they may adoption solving
the question before them. In the pres
ent state of things the worst rashness is
that which yields to compromise from the
feverishness Of impotence. All the wise
and good Of the world have their eyes ND
on US. All civilized nations are waiting
to see if we shall have the courage to
make it manifest that freedom is the ami
mating principle of our constitution, and
the life Of the nation, But here. too, on
this day we have only to read the coun-
sells of Washington. When by his will
he left swords to his nephews. he wrote
"These swords are accompanied with the
injunction not to unsheath them for the
purpose of shedding blood, except it be
for self-defense, or in. defense of their
country or its rights; and in the latter case
to keep them unshsathed, and prefer fall
ing with them In their hands to the relin--
punishment thereof.

Important from Tennessee.



Official information from Nashville to
the War Department represents the mil
itary work in that State as about finished
and it only remains to effect . civil reor-
ganization of the State government.
1t is believed the federal forces will oc-
cupy Columbus TO- day.
Rebel forces under A. Sidney Johnston
are being steadily pressed backwards by
Gen Buell..
Cotton to the amount of 100000 has
fallen into our hands at Nashville. The
Treasury Department has taken measures
to have it BROUGHT to New York.
The President las designated Hon.
Andy Johnson To be Brigadier General,
and he proceeds to Tennessee tomorrow
to open a Military Provisional Govern
ment for Tennessee until the reconstruc-
ton of the Civil Government.
Brig. Gen. Buell. will be nominated to-
morrow as Major General.

1~The War Department sf1iots US in
tolerably with its prohibition of war news
by telegraph. 1t seems that We were
mistaken in supposing that the order did
not cover that oft repeated announcement
Of good news from Washington con- prised
in the emphatic and familiar phrase,
All quiet on the Potouac." We are even
deprived of hat ever-cheering assurance,
and can no longer go to bed in the peace
and comfort that the nightly repetition by
telegraph that Washington is SAFE and
"AlI is quiet on the Potomac" used to
bestow.
