CAMP PINE KNOT, May 27th, 1862.
10 the Nasluls Union:
Here we are in the mountains stalled
hard and fast, as a wagner would say,
at the foot of Pine Mountain, and can
not get permission to go on.
i seems TO me that the great anxiety
which the Union papers AndJUnion peo-
pie profess towards the oppressed and
down-trodden loyal people of East Ten
nessee is not in the least responded to by
the Government,
Middle and West Tennessee, whose
people plunged the State into this ter
rible rebellion, have actually been reliev-
ed in spite of themselves. Virginia,
North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and
Louisiana have, in a great degree, been
relieved from the oppression of the
DAVIS despotism in spite Of their utmost
efforts to prevent il, Yet East Tennessee,
whose history is the proudest of all,
whose loyalty has cost her many, ali,
very many, Of her best and trurst sons,
is left uncared for, forgotten, or what is
worse, HsUer kaolUn.
Here we are, whole brigades Of East
Tennesseans, who have squeezed through
the mountains" amid difficulties and
dangers innumerable, and are now beg
ging, crying and praying to be permitted
to get at the enemy; but no, the time is
not come, they say.
On and after the fall Of Fort Donelson
up to the present date, if we had been
permitted to take our own course in re-
ference TO East Tennessee, there would
not now have been prowling bands Of
secession thieves and traitors insulting
our families with their gross insolencei
robbing the women and children Of their
bread, and leaving them 10 starye' No!
nor would the wholesale thief and
splendid swindler, WV. NJ. CHURCH
WELL, been permitted TO insult us and our
wiges with an order, that by certain
date if we did not return our lCirss slouH
b. sent 20 pos.
Think Of it, My God, for such myr-
midons as CHURcHwELL has appointed
to take charge Of our wives, and trans
port them, like felons, across the noun
tains-0ur tender children, our daugh-
tiers TO be exposed 10 the rude jeers and
taunts Of drunken mobs, and, ola, what is
worse than all, perhaps dislm0rea Oh
the heart sickens, our minds become

have evidence 20 fear is but too true
Decent well-bred and educated readers

The public are exceedingly impatient
just now for more startling war news.
The slaughter Of ten thousand men or so,
with the wounding of double or treble
that number has become a necessary en-
tertainment with which our insadate Gu
riosity must be gratided.
We are in fact growing as blood
thirsty as the ladies Of Seville, and Ma
drid, who delight in nothing so much as
to see a thrilling bull-fght when a mag
ni6cent stccd is discmboweled, or a
handsome matoder impaled on the horns
Of a mad bull, and borne frantically
around the cnsanguined arena. We are
indeed unreasonably eager. We complain
Of slow military movements, when the
fact is that when the history Of this
war shall have been written, its move
menls Of enormous masses OF men will
be noted for their celebrity Every feature
and proportion Of this war is gigantic.
Europe never beheld any war like it, We
must recollect that battle well begun is
half won Thorough preparation is in.
despensablo Let us abide the apparent
calm patiently, for at any moment it
may be broken bya storm Of appalling
fury

nying the dissertation Of our soldiers
graves in that place we published on
Sunday morning in a very unenvia-

so slow to believe, that Tennessee rebels
respect neither the laws of the living nor
the graves Of the loved and loyal dead.

southern Editor telling the truth
about General Buffers Army.
From the Macon Mss, Bca-oa, June 4th.l
A great deal Of simulated indignation
has been reused against General Butler
on account of his rather coarse order re-
specting the ladies Of New Orleans. Now,
while we unqualiGedly condemn the
style Of this pronunciamento, we cannot
withhold our censure from those ladies
who, so far forgetful Of that modosty and
reserve with which woman should always
cncircle herself have stepped from the
pale of womanly propriety, and insultcd
strangers in the very streets Of their city.
When this is the case, woman always
subjects herself TO Censure, if not in
suit. Neither time nor circumstances
will shield her from the inevitable con-
sequence; whether her intentions are
insulting or otherwise, she is no longer
inyulnerable when that beautiful shield
she holds before herself and contact
with strangers, is withdrawn, for suspi-
Cion always attaches itself TO such de-
monstratOns,
Is there any father who would wish
to see his daughter Haunting through
the streets, and insulting those in whose
power fate has thrown the city Of his
residence; or, on the contrary, how
would a Confederate officer act, should a
lady or woman, with Federal procliyities,
publicly ilaunt the stars and stripes in
his face, and use insulting expressions
in the streets where his duty to his gov
eminent had called him.
Is it not better, is it not more consonant
with the nature of woman, TO shrink from
all contact, all communications of what
ever character, with enemies aud stran-
gers, and thus vindicate her sex from
unworthy suspicion, and insure protcc-
ton from insult and abuse.

Oaths ana BOnds

1t seems 10 us that there is very seri-
Gus defect either in the manner Of taking
bonds Of disloyal persons, or in The en-
forcement Of them when forfeited by the
reasonable conduct Of those who give
them. In the.frst place, it is a serious
error in our judgment to place a rebel
under bonds for any less AMOUNT than
the i0lole amount Of his estate, Every dollar
he owns in the world, in land, money
personal property and negroes should be
included in the bond and should all be
confsoated promptly when the bond is for
feited We must impoverish obstinate
rebels and enrich the loyal poor with their
possessions. The classes of society in
many places need complete reverse of
position for the safety Of the republic.
1t will be perilous in the highest degree
TO allow an embitterod persistent rebel TO
hold his former social position, for in the
social aristocracy of the traitors exists
the vitality Of this rebellion, which can
not be killed by ordinary methods. No
one can deny this who has personal acs1
quaintance with the leading elements of
the rebellion. There must be no princely
landed estates allowed to stay in the
hands of unrelenting disloyalists. The
existence of the nation will be imperilled
by it, At present the forfeiture of a
bond amounts to nothing. Thousands
of bonds, we presume, have been forfeited
and the violation is little needed by the
officers Of the Government as the solcm-
nifty of the oath was needed by the rebel
This policy not only gives courage and
audacity 10 traitors, but it makes our
gallant soldiers, who are the hope of the
Union, Responding and heart-sick, and
weary of bloody war which seems to
have no purpose, and to be followed by
no practical results. Sensible men are
beginning TO ask, "was il worth our
while to leave our families and our homes,
our business and friends to face death in
the sickly camp and on the battlefield,
if impudent and malignant traitors are
allowed to live in luxury on their estates
within the Federal lincs?" Yes, we as
sure the President and Congress, that
these obvious reflections cannot fail to
strike the minds of hundreds Of thous-
ands Of gallant soldiers with irresistible
force, and they will feel their heroic, pa
tient and long suffering souls sink sadly
within them as they walk in tears be-
hind the remains of some gallant COM
panion, to lay him in his final resting
place And perhaps as they retire to the
camp with the melancholy wall of the
dead march yet haunting their ears like
the moan of a troubled ghost, the first
object that will greet their eyes will be
some maleyolent demoniac rebel atoning
for his treason by repeating the mummery
Of an oath which he is fully resolved to
violate on the first opportunity. Well
may rebels laugh and loyal men weep at
such policy. This war will last longer
than that Of Troy unless we change our
policy. 1t will never bring us success.
II weakcns ourselves and strengthens the

One need but spend a short time at
the Governors, or Provost MarshaIs, or
Generals headquarters, in this place, to
acc that the most disloyal are the most
clamor0us for iayors. Their impudence
is unbranded, They are eager to live
oil the Government which they are seek
ing TO destroy Treason has but little
pride or modesty. 1t will ask for any
thing and take anything And we must
say thatwe never yet knew one instance
when a rebel has become loyal boy being
led on "Lincoln gold The lrc-oatgrs

without work seems TO ne their sole OBJ

CAMP PINE KNOT. TEsN.l
June IL, 1862.
Eit0r Union
Sure enough we did what the cele-
brated King did-marched up the hill
and then marched back again. We went
to Camp Lambdin, beyond Pine Noun
tain, which proved to be the most tire
some, tedious and wearing out trip that
the 25th Brigade has ever taken. When
we got well settled at that place, had Just
got up our baggage aud provisions, we
were ordered back to Camp Pine Knot
You may rest assured that nothing but
the best promises in the world could have
got all the men to have come back. This
is the fourth time we have been ordered
to this point. Our fellows so far have
been patient and as obedient as could be
expected under such unfavorable circum-
stances.
The promise made TO them the last
time was the only one that could have
got them back to this point--the glorious,
ever-tO- be-remembered order to prepare
TO march TO Knoxville This order came
to us on the night Of the 9th at Camp
Lambdin, and in the morning we started
back with some degree of cheerfulness.
We remained here till this morning when
Gen. SPEARS gave the order to strike tents
and start for Big Creek Gap. With a
shout Of joy our men sprang to their
tents and had them down and in their
wagons in a trice. Then came the order
fall into line with cartridge box,
knapsack and rife in hand, which was
quickly done; and then the order from
the various COlQnels in command to
right face forward, march !" could be
heard from various quarters. Soon the
camps were clear of all save few left
behind to gather up odds and ends,
among whom was the Brigade Commits
sary, who thereby has an opportunity to
drop you parting line
This evening near sunset / visited the
camps, and still there are few lingering
around.
In passing along through Esq. ARCH
EMS meadow observed line of soldiers
paying the last rites to deceased com
rade. As the sun was declining behind
Jellico Mountain they lowered him in his
last resting place. Three salutes were
fred over him, the grave closed and the
file of soldiers with sad hearts returned
to their rude Hospital, not knowing how
soon they might rest beside their dead
comrade. / could not but feel sad my
self as ] surveyed the scenes arodnd--the
deserted camps so lately the scene of ac-
tivity, lite and hustle, the solemn tread of
the sick soldiers who with reversed arms
followed the corpse to the grave and the
general quiet and stiffness which pervad-
ed. 1t seemed as though it were scarce
ly reality. But it is so. Our men are
gone beyond Pine Mountain. They will
rest at the near edge Of the Cumberland
tonight and tomorrow night in Pow
ellis valley So we are off at last for
East Tennessee in good earnest What
we will do, or what will be done to us
you may learn sometime from the
SCRIBBLER.
