He found them in detached companies.
Dismounting portion Of his men, he

fed. The pursuit was continued through

The Inauguration.

President Davis will be inaugurated to-
morrow, and if he is the man we take
him to be, as soon as that ceremony is
over he will repair to the field, place HIM
self at the head of the army, and redeem
the promise made in the early stage of the
revolution. He said if the North insisted
upon war, he would carry fire and sword
to their territory. Yet up to this hour no
hostile footprint has been made on the
enemy's soil, but for eight long months
the great bulk of our army has been rust
ing in inglorious ease, and losing more by
the diseases incident to an inactive camp
life than by all the battles that have been
fought. A different policy must now en-
sue, or the cause for which so many sacri-
fees have been made will be lost forever
There Is no alternative--it is either indie
pendence or Subjugation.

A Missionary Prisoner.

We copy the article below from the
Christian Advocate of the 18th. The Lin
colnites of East Tennessee, especially the
brethren of the Church, ought to feel
proud of their governmental Washington,
that wars on harmless preachers and wo-
men,
The latest despotism of Lincoln's gov
eminent is the detention of Rev. w. G..
Z. Cunningham and his family in New
York, where they arrived Dec. "a. Bro.
c., as our readers know, has been absent
from his native land ten years, as mis-
sionary in China He has taken no part
in politics or war; been on Christian en-
bassy to the other side of the world; is a
true and good man. He passed the Chi
nese and the Egyptians, the simoons and
the SEAS the idolaters and worshippers Of
snakes and gilt images, and at last arrives
among the Christians of the North, to
find himself prisoner. His home is in
East Tennessee; he married in Abingdon,
Va. But in getting home he must needs
pass through Samaria. He has done no
wrong to any man, is unarmed, and has
not yet felt the heated blood of the war.
His character as q servant of the Prince
of Peace, returning from labors and sac
rifces, ought to secure respect and i'm
munity even among Hottentots; but all
this avails nothing, since his face is set as
though he would come South. They are
sending South prisoners taken in war
Why not let this missionary and his wife
and child come home to their family and
friends?

East Tennessee

A large force of Southern troops is be-
ing thrown into East tennessee. The
Lincolnites, who have been Sd anxious,
by their conduct, to have the war trans
fered to the soil Of East Tennessee, are in
fair way to be gratified Had they acted
in accordance with common sense and
followed the dictates of common nat
riotism this fair region might have escap.
cd the severer. penalties incident to the
conflict. We congratulate these men
who pray night and morning with their
eyes turned to the East, upon the pros.
pect opening up before them, and com.
mond them to put their houses in order
as no one can tell what day or an hour
may bring forth.

The Curse of Whisky,

We see that the Yankee Generals are
adopting stringent measures to prevent
the introduction OF whisky into their
camps. 1t is wise policy, and If they can
succeed it will no doubt increase the eff.
cheney of their army. Whisky is the most
dangerous Of all the enemies and dangers
which soldiers have to encounter Drunk
en- soldiers are not to be depended on,
and still less drunken officers, whose in
dulgenco Of this maddening passion may
involve the fate not only of themselves,
but Of the men whose lives are in their
keeping, ard the country whose honor Is
entrusted to their guardianship.

Evacuation of Bowling Green.

On Thursday evening Bowling Green
was evacuated by the larger portion Of
our troops, who fell back in the direction
OF Nashville. Gen. Hindmans brigade,
however, still remaining few miles the
other side Of Bowling Green.
Yesterday morning it was reported that
Gen, Hindman had sharp engagement
with the Yankees, who were advahcing
in force. He fell back in goodsrgSis fc..apd
after crossing Little BhrrenTlvet; hoIvM up
the railroad bridge and burned the turn
pike bridge over thatStream.
The Yankees began to throw shells in
the town between 10 and IL o'clock, and
we hear that it was set on fire and nearly
all Of it laid in ashes. These reports may
not be strictly true. but they come TO US
in such way as incline us to believe in
their general correctness.
II is also stated three locomotives, un.
dergoing repairs in the machine shop at
Bowling Green, our friends were unable
to get away.
The telegraph operator at Bowling
Green was startled about 10 o'clock yes
terday morning by the bursting Of a shell
about ten feet from his quarters. Con-
Guiding the place was too warm for him
he at once packed up his traps and went

Fort DOneison, Feb. l5.-l0.30 A. NJ
One Of the fiercest Fights Oh record com
menced this morning. We have driven
the enemy past his camps, with great
slaughter. The fight is still raging with
great fury on both sides.

longing to the 30th Illinois Regiments
He said the federal force numbered So
600; and were commanded by McCler-
nand. Our boys are fighting with great
gallantry and driving the enemy as they
60. .
IL A. M.-We have captured three OF
the enemy's batteries. and repulsed them
everywhere. The loss is reported TO be
heavy on both sides---ths Yankees most.
The Tennesseeans Mississippians, Texans;
Alabamans and Others, are doing the
thing finely.
1850 p. M.-Think we can safely say
the day is ours. The enemy's loss is tre-
mendous. Almost 5000 Yankee prison.
ers have just been brought in. They re-
port that numbers of their regiments are
almost annihilated.
l.30 P. M.-We fought the enemy out
side our entertainments from $50 this
morning to this afternoon, driving him
inch by inch from every point Of the field,
capturing four pieces Of artillery, and a
large number Of prisoners. Our loss is
heavy; but we have inflicted heavier
loss on the enemy. The federals are
largely reinforced, and may attack US
again.

More Men in the Field.

Every patriot will look with approba-
ton upon the prompt and strenuous ex-
ertions now being made by our various
State executives TO arm and bring into
the field an additional force for the de-
Tense Of our soil. Zen new regiments
have just been called out in Arkansas for
the war, seven in Mississippi twelve in
Alabama twelve in Georgia, and FIVE
and a half in Louisiana-maki in all
forty-sir and a half regiments. Tennessee
and other States should not be behind in
this work. The late importation of new
arms from abroad, and such a supply as
can be obtained from private sources will
nearly arm this whole force. Our late
disaster at Fort Donelson renders the en-
couragement of these movements the
more necessary. Let to arms be the
cry so long as an idle gun can be found
in the land

"The Provisional Governor" of
North Carolina.

A Hatteras correspondent of the Boston
Traveller thus describes the pursuits Of
the Governor appointed by the sand-bar
Convention to exercise jurisdiction over
the districts of the State occupied by the
Federal army:
We also passed small church in which
we were told the Governor of North Caro-
lima preached regularly. Start not at this
announcement. The fact is susceptible
of an easy explanation. 1t will be remem-
bered that few weeks ago handful OF
the professedly loyal people of this region
held Convention and attempted to Or
ganize loyal Provisional Government
A Rev. Mr.. Taylor, who is represented as
a sort of Parson Brownlow, was chosen
Governor, and here is the church in which
he officates. 1t is a one story, Imprinted
dilapidated looking affair as we have seen
for many day. Half its panes were gone;
it had no pews, only rough board seats
The pulpit was mere square box, while
the floor was covered with filth. Rever-
ence for the sanctuary seems not remark
ably we'll developed at Hatteras. With
the Parson, who aspires to gubernatorial
honors, we had not the good fortune to
meet. If his appearance corresponds with
that of his church, we could not consider
ourselves peculiarly unfortunate.

Yankee Expenditures.

Mr.. Erastus Brooks, writing from Wash
irgton, states that the expenses of the
Northern Government reach three mil
lions day. This is an augmentation of
third within the last quarter, and the
rate of increase will grow with each
month. Paper money, with nothing to
rest on, is substituting specie, and is daily
increasing, and consequently depreciating
relative to all other property. But there
is another and quite as influential cause
operating to enlarge the expenses Of the
Yankee Government. Everybody at the
North is looking to the Government for o
livelihood. All commerce and trade, un-
connected with the war, is at an end in
chat region, and any serious effort to cur
tail the Government expenditures would
render the war unpopular, and perhaps
inaugurate the reign of mob-law. Nothing
is left, therefore, for the Lincoln Govern
ment but to 60 on pouring out their pa
per money. All hands are interested for
the time being in giving it credit. But
the crash must come, if they do not
speedily subdue the South. That's their
only hope of safety. A few more Port
Royal and Burnside expeditions will set
tie that point Richmond Wing.

Condition of the Federal Treasury
NO Money.

Old Abe's exchequer is about empty
A Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, in his letter of the 9Th,
writes:
The treasury is dry to-day. The last Of
the fifty millions of demand treasury notes
has been issued. There are from twenty
to twenty-five millions of acquisitions on
the treasury now lying unpaid. There are
no means for paying these accommodating
demands. Should Congress, at some early
day, act upon the treasury note bill, a
portion OF the floating debt can be paid
off and the Government sustained for n
few weeks, till other portions of the f.
nancial scheme shall be brought into
operation.
A letter 10 Mr.. Spaulding, member of
Congress, the Secretary Of the Treasury
writes:
Immediate action is Of great impor-
lance. The treasury is nearly empty. /
have been obliged to draw for the last in
stalment OF the November loan. So soon
as it is paid fear the banks generally will
refuse the United States treasury notes.
You will see the necessity of urging the
bill through without delay"

Capt. 10. Dixon.

The body Of this officer, who was killed
in the fight at Fort Donelson on the l4th,
reached this place on Saturday morning,
in charge of Mr.. Matthews, the member
from Blount. Capt. Dixon was the son Of
ELI DIxos, Of tins county, and was in
the 32d year Of his age. He was educated
at the Military Academy at West Point,
and graduated in 1853 with the following
honors Engineering 8, Ethics 5, Mineral
ogy and Geology 4, Infantry Tactics 4,
Artillery 8, Cavalry Tactics |.
Immediately after graduating Capt.
Dixon entered the United States service
as Lieutenant, and was several years in
Oregon and Washington Territory. He
was on duty at Fort Vancouver when
his native State, Tennessee, seeded; and
as soon as the news reached him, he ten.
dered his resignation and made his way
home through great privations and dan
gers. Proceeding at once to Richmond,
he was appointed Captain of Artillery in
the Confederate service, and ordered to
report 10 Gen. Sydney johnson, who
placed him at the head of the Engineer
Corps. Capt. Dixon was in the battle Of
Bellmonte, and fought with great gallan-
try throughout the day. He had charge
of the erection and strengthening Of the
defences at Fort Donelson, and fell there
while bringing his gun to bear upon the
enemy. He was q skillful officer, warm
hearted and true man, full Of noble and
generous impulses, and died where it
is the soldiers peculiar privilege to die
by his gun, on the post of duty. His re-
mains were interredint the battle-ground at
this place, and were followed to the grave
by large concourse of the citizens of the
town and county, who deeply sympathize
with the relatives and friends, and mourn
our common loss. But though
"He sleeps his last sleep, and has fought his last
battle,
No sound can awake him to glory again"
we will cherish and keep green his men,
DRY, with that of the many gallant spirits
who are freely sacrificing themselves in
defence of cause which involves all that
is worth living for, and for which it is glo-
rious to die.

rear advanced boldly against The rebel
works at Fort Henry, going to the right OF
Panther Creek Island.
Immediately above, and on the East
shore Of the river stands the Notifications.
Keeping out of range OF the guns of the
Fort, we steamed up until we reached the
head OF the Island, within mile OF the
enemy. Then passing the Island in full
view of the rebel guns, we steadily adj.
vanced, with every man at quarters, and
every ear strained to catch the flag officers
signal gun or the commencement OF the
action.
The four boats leading the attack, adj
vanced for a half hour steadily. The
fight ragged furiously, the fort firing shot
and shell with yigor; and when we ap
preached within one hundred yards OF
the works, The Essex became disabled and
drfted down.
The fort was surrendered at forty min
utes past one by General Tilghman to
Commodore Foote, after having been de-
Tended in the most determined manner.
The Confederate infantry crossed over
TO Fort Donelson five thousand strong.
Two guns in the works were dismantled
by our FIRE, and one thirty-two rihed piece
burst.
Fifty-four men surrendered, and five
were killed and ten wounded i'll the fort

Desperate Fighting.

The Norfolk Day Book Of the llth,
speaking of the fight on Roanoke Island,
gives the following report of the heroic
stand made by some of our troops:
Pork Point Battery was manned by the
Richmond Blues, and most nobly did they
defend it. During the conflict they were
attacked by whole regiment of Zouaves,
and though completely overpowered, they
stood their ground bravely, nor did they
yield foot until all the command save
seven fell bleeding TO the ground.
