FROM EAsT TENNESSEE,

We eHp the following from the Knoxville cor
respondent of the Mobile Register:
You were lately informed that Capt. LewelIvp.
quarterm8ster Of Col. Morgan's squadron, was
shot by some Union bushwhackFrs. near Cas-
cade creek, in ROane county, Tenn. It has
been since ascertained that fourteen of these
cOvies concerned in the set, stung with remorse
at having been instrumental in thus cruelty
numbering a good citizen, committed suicide
the same night, and the next morning, the said
" fourteen" were fOund hanging to the trees in
that vicinity. All, me, an evil conscience must
be a terrible ~thing-poOr fellows-let Parson
Brownlow and Father Beecher pray for their
souls
The latest intelligence from the enemy on our
lefs flank, is that Buell. was reported to have left
Huntsville on the Sth inst. for Bellefonte. and
ZOO Of his troops had reached that point. His
whole force was 10000 inclUdiDg l.5OO cavalry.
On the 10th he was passing in tho direction Of
Nashville, supposed to be making 3 G9Our to
reach SWeden's cove. The next day a large
force was reported between Crow creek and
Bridgeport, advancing up.
large number of 'nvaEds have arrived at
Stevenson by railroad, and were sent up Crow
creek with a small amount Of subsistence. Gen.
McCook's division is reported between Belle
f0nte and Stevenson, said to number 10000,
about seven miles this side Of Stevenson, and
n 'se VINO had VISITED their camps, reported
their destination to be Chattanooga. McCOOk
has twenty-fOur pieces of artillery with him,
Bulls cavalry. One brigade is reported coming
by Manchester. It is evident that the enemy IS
concentrating at Bridgeport, as two large sup
ply trains have come up. Buell's forces are
scattered from Huntsville TO Stevenson, as
thick as they can be, coming by wagons and
railroads. Nine trains left Stevenson on the
10Th, going toward Nashville. MitchelPs forces
have fallen back from Battle creek, two miles
and a half toward Stevenson, with a view, it is
thought, to induce our troOps,to follow and cross,
and that Buelrs forces were going as far as the
tunnel, on the Nashville and Chattanooga rail
road, so as to come down Sweeden's cove in
our rear.
1t is now certain that Mitchell is in Washing
ton under arrest, and Buell. is in commanded all
the forces. ORA.

A DRAFT. Authorized na The North.

The Northern militia drafting bill. SO called,
has at last passed. Sigma, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, thinks it one Of the most important
measures ever passed. In 4 synopsis it is
stated that the term Of enlistment for which
militia will be called out is limited to nine
months, and one months pay and twenty five
dollars bounty paid in advance. The bill au-
thorizss the President to receive negroes into
the service for constructing intrenehmsnts, per-
forming camp service, or any other labor, or
any military service for which they may be
found competent-to be enrolled and organized
as the President may prescribe. 1t also de-
clsres free all slaves, including their families,
who shall thus serve the government, except
those belonging to loyal masters.

From CONFEDERATION Con.nl,n,inn

REOM ConHuitulaOm
The defeat at Richmond has caused 8 great
auttering among the Federal magnates through
out The whole North, and by the following from
the correspondence of the St. Louis Republican,
it will be seen that the West has not been ex-
empt:
CORiNTH, Miss, July l1.-Quite a surprise
occurred to us yesterday morning by the unex-
pected arrival Of Gov. Sprsgue, in company
with a portion of his personal staff. It was first
thought that mere curiosity had brought him
hitler. But upon learning that be came here by
special train from Columbus, and that immedi-
ately after his arrival, st an early hour Yesterday
morning, he repaired to the headquarters of
Gen. Halleck, with whom he continued in pri-
vate consultation during the greater part of the
day, the conclusion was generally arrived at
that be came here on a public mission. Nor
was the inference erroneous, according to su-
thentic information communicated to me last
night. He jOurneyed here at the request Of, and
entrusted with a message of the utmost impor-
lance by the authorities in Washington, the
character of which precluded its transmission
through any other channel. l deem it impru-
dent to state what l know of the object of his
mission. Suffice it to say, that it bears upon
the necessities arising from the disaster lately
experienced by the loyal cause on the Peninsula,
and that, if successful, the people of the North
may look for some new and startling strategical
combinations at an early day.
Gov. Sprague, Immediately after finishing I'D
his business with Gen. Halleck. returned North
yesterday afternoon.

LATER FROM EUKOPE
.rrriraE Of N.e Per,fn.

Dispatch to the Associated Press North.
NEw YoRE, July IG-The steamship Persia,
from Liverpool 9Th, via. Queenstown 9th, arrived
at her deck at noon to-day.
The New York correspondent Of the London
Times, after pointing out the difficulties of the
present position of the Union forces contends
that the capture Of Richmond will make no diff
ference, but merely transfer the war farther
South.
The truth is an armistice, and then a settle
ment of this deadly quarrel by a peaceful sepa-
ration, is the only solution of the difficulty.
The Army and Nary Gazette says although it
has always maintained the power OF the North to
take the principal military points in the South,
there has been no time since Bull Run, when
their position and ability to do so looked more
precarious.
1t thinks the battle of Richmond will deter
mino the fate of the campaign in Virginia, but
will not stop the war. In the meantime there is
no chance fer the smalles. Intervention of off
cious good offices to grapple with the cotton
question in India, and the following day another
correspondent coRtended that the interference
would be prejudicisl.
The Daily Neles says the Americans in Lon
don met on the 4th Of July to celebrate the day,
but no account of the proceedings is given. The
same journal editOrially d~enounces, in sarcastic
teIuS' Tie ml5CnleVOuS maugnlIy OF the ItRteS
for its Phsrissical and ill-timed lecture to Amer
lea in her hour of trouble.
The Morning Star has also a denunciation Of
the Times for its outrage on American sensibii
ties on the most sacred Of all days to the Amer
lean people. / hopes that Americans will treat
the i~nsolence of the un-English writer with dis
dain, and says the writer is not more the enemy
of their country than the disgrace of his Own.
The Morning Herald says the celebration of
Fourth Of July and the prosecution of the war
constitute as glazing a case as was ever alleged
against a civilized nation, and that if professions
meant anything in America, the mere reading
of the Declaration Of Independence should suf
fee to condemn the invasion of the Confederate
States as utterly inexcusable in principle and
erroneous in policy.
1t is stated that the military s.sf in Canada
would soon be what it was before the Trent aE-
fair.
The Epsca, of Madrid, says the Spanish gov
eminent mas received most sat sfsctOry commu-
~nications from its representative from Washing
ton, as to the probable effect produced upon the
United States by the DISTINGUISHED policy which
Spain has adopted with regard to Mexico. The
present relation of the Cabinets Of Madrid and
Washington are most cordial.

A Federal View of the Situation ina the
West.

We find the following in the Chicago Times
of the 14tb. Although there is nothing in the
paragraph discouraging to the South, that jour
nal might have said much more, with truth,
that would be discoBraging to the North. We
shall see what we shall see:
It now seems probable that the army Of the
Southwest win have work 10 do during the sum
mer. The success Of the rebels OF Murfrees-
boro will, probably, lead to an attack on Nash
vile. 1t would be d heavy blow TO US to lose
Nashville, not so much on account of its strste-
gic position, as the influence it would have in
cheering the South and depressing the North.
Tennessee is likely to become once more the
theater Of a desperate war, and though we now
have a superior force, yet East Tennessee is
alive with secessionists, vindictive and ener-
getic.
We have hoped that c part Of the army of the
Southwest might be spared to Gen. Mcclellan,
but we shall probably need every man we have
in Tennessee. There might be a sufficient force
slOng the southern boundary Of Missouri to pre-
vent Eruption from Arkansas and Texas, and
Gen. Curtis army be Withdrawn. Arkansas is
now comparatively Of little importance, as all
the territory west Of the Mississippi must abide
the fate Of the final struggle east of the river.
After the fall of Vieksburg there will be no
trouble in our g~unboats keeping communication
closed between Arkansas and Texas and The
eastern Stats. Itis impossible now to ascertain
the exact force of Gen. Curtis, bat whatever it
may be, it is in the wrong place to help close up
the final struggle.

FEDERAL ALARM IN KENTUCKY.

Judging from the alarm evinced by the Fede-
ra, authorities with reference to the situation in
Kentucky, We infer that the demonstration
made by Colonel MORGAN have been of q much
more formidable character than we had been ad-
vised. The submissionists of that State seem to
have been completely psralised, and their whole
conduct seems to show that were it not for the
presence Of imported troops, the Union senti-
meat hat prevails could not hold the " dark
and bloody ground " in even its present ques-
tionabls position in the Union a week.
The extent of the excitement that prevailed at
Louisville, may be inferred from the special cor
-respondence Of the Chicago Tribune, published
this evening. In he extremity of their alarm,
calls were made upon the Western States gem
orally, and troops were hurried forward in
squads, companies and de.acbments, so that by
this time We suppose a considerable force, unor
ganizsd however, has been concentrated, and
Louisville probably considers herself safe.
The latest Federal dispatches concerning aE
iatrs in Kentucky, we give below:
FRANKFORT, July I5.-The track or the
Lexington aud Louisville railroad was torn I'D
near Midway to-day. and telegraph wires cut (:
also bridges burned on the Kentucky Central
road, north Of Lexington.
Morgan is making in the direction Of Paris or

men Is reported to have taken place at Midway,
in which the rebels were routed. This Is not
authenticated.

Another effort Of the Yankee spectators that
infast Memphis, to speculate il the staple of the
country, was frustrated by squad of PoRTER's
cavalry on Friday last, at q point some eighteen
miles northeast of Memphis. The small patty
oveThauled some ~twenty-fvs drsys, loaded with
sixty-f0ur bales Of cotton, en- route for tho city.
The drivers were ordered TO unload and pile Up
the bales in the road, which was done in a
