Progress Of Unionism in Fayette
County, Tennessee,

The Memphis Bulletin receives the most
cheering news from Fayetle county. The
people have seen the utter ruin that Sc
cession works. More mischief has been
done to persons and property in two years
by the practical operations of secession
than the declarations Of abolitionists
could have effected in one hundred wears.
Every man who has lost horse. mule.
COW, hog, sheep, wagon or negro. can
trace it directly TO the Pandora's Box of
all mischief-SecesSiOa Every wounded
soldier, every sick soldier now confined
in hospitals, every one slain in battle,
may attribute all TO secession.
Had there been no secession, we should
have been spared this war; and cOnse-
quently would have escaped all its hor-
rors The people now see their mistake,
and, like true and honest men, are deter
mined to rectify it..
The people Of Fayette county, gener-
ally, have taken the oath Of allegiance
and are zealously engaged in rebuilding
the partially discovered Union.
Col. j. X. Mosby, a true and gallant
man, q gentleman in every sense of the
word, as the people well know, has Joined
the great movement now in progress in
West Tennessee-to reconstruct the
Union.
Colonel Mosby is not the only distin-
guished name in the county of Fayette
who has taken bold stand for the I'm
ion. General Tom Rivers too is all right
never much wrong, if any, in the I'm
ion cause. Most of the officers of the
county have made friends with Uncle
Sam, and the prospect now is that Fay
cite viii give large vote for Congress on
the 18th. Those VIE imagine that the
people of the country take no interest in
this election, will be greatly deceived
The people Of all West Tennessee are
alive to the necessity of elecung good
and true men to Congress, and the Bulle-
tin has an abiding confidence that the
29th Of December will show that West
Tennessee is done with JEFF Davis and
secession forever.

To Our Subscribers.

We find after few months experience
that it is impossible to collect the small
amount due us for the Daily in the city,
with the regularity that should attend
that department, without more time and
attention than we can well afford TO be-
stow upon IT, In the future we will be
governed by the cash in advance princi-
pie, and by that vigorous policy" hope
to render profitable, that which up to the
present time has been burden From
this date no paper will be delivered
from this Office unless paid for in advance.
When the time paid for expires, the paper
will be discontinued, unless renewed in
Sine 70 prevent it. Our Agent cannot
afford to call on any one three or four
times for the paltry sum Of twenty cents,
md then perhaps not get it. All subscrib-
,rs in arrears will please pay the route

KINGsToN-Kingston is situated on
the line of the Atlantic q North Carroll
ma Railroad, and on the north bank of
the Neuse river, which runs from Colds
borough TO Newbern, twenty-five miles
from the former, aud twenty seven from
the latter place. It is a small village, but
of considerable local importance. Colds
borough, for which General Fosters eX-
petition is aiming is point much more
necessary TO be possessed, being situated
at the junction of the railroad already
named with the North Carolina road,
which runs to Raleigh, fifty-one miles
farther west, and the Wilmington &
Weldon Road, which, running north and
south, is one of the great lines of rail
way connecting Richmonpwith the cot
ton States.

How Men Act in Battle.

A writer in the Philadelphia Press
gives a graphic picture of the conduct of
men under fire. 1t was French's division
OF COUGHS corps from which the descrip-
ton is drawn:
Steadily the brave fellows assembled
the range Of hills, two ranks deep under
a furious fire of artillery, flashing deaths
terrors under the most fearful form, and
gaily they climbed the numerous fences
in their way. Men dropped, and broad
gaps were made in their ranks but the
lines imme stately closed, and were COM
pact as before. The wounded silently
fell. All bosh about the screams of the
wounded that we read in our books. On
they went until blazing line of mus
kerry stormed upon them from the rifle
pits hitherto invisible, and induced a
halt Firmly they stood and returned
the fire. Up went the swords of field Off
GERS wildly cheering them on. Again
they advanced. Again they hated.
Line officers ran behind the men, picking
up catridge-boxes of the dead, replenish-
ing those Of the living. Back and forth
they went in the rear OF their compa-
mics, asking men if their ammunition
held out, indicating location where shots
might be effective, and encouraging them
with the hopeful words:
STEADY, boys, steady give 'em hi"
"Smith, are you hurt?' "Yes, sir; my
arms broke" go to the rear, my boy"
Another man falls. "Where are you
struck, Roberts," In the thigh sir !

other, and off it goes. Terrible is the
work of death The enemy in rife pits
have an advantage Of three to one. They
pop their heads up, fire, aad down they
go 10 load. "Oh, blast it! captain, we
amt got no chance against them fel!ers (;
we ought TO have reinforcements." This
cry extends along the lines. Colonies, in
their visits TO the companies, hear it
from the line officers it soon comes TO
the knowledged of the generals, and,
after an hours fighting, an order to fall
back is givin, which is obeyed with a
steady pace and but little struggling, to-
ward the city,

New York, Dec. 3.-Philadelphia pa
pers publish an account of the forthcom-
ing report of the committee on the con-
duct of the war,
ii appears Burnsides original plan was
TO move suddenly to fredericksburg,
cross there, open the base of supplies
from Acquia creek, and push rapidly to
Richmond
He expected TO get 30 or 40 miles south
before the rebels came up and felt con-
fident of his ability TO whip them.
1t was promised pontoons and sup
plies at Falmouth. This was the fatal
omission, caused delay of ten days,
and enabled the rebels TO fortify and
concentrate.
Burnside's plan was TO carry the first
line of works by storm, then follow them
so rapidly that they could notmake a
standard they would then be driven by
reserves and scattered.
The plan was approved by all the
leading Generals except Hooker, and en-
dorsed by Halleck, who had previously
issued orders that the rebels must be at
tackled
Gen. Meigs blames the engineers for
the non arrival Of the pontoons, but Gen.
Halleck eXonorAtes them Gen. Wood
bury says the delay was caused by them
not being started in time and bad roads.
The President and Mr.. Stanton are en-
tirely free from blame; the censure falls
on military men.
