Important Movements in Tennessee.
RosENCRANs IN TULLAHoMA.

Gen. Rosecrans has removed the restric-
tions on the use of the telegraph, and l send
the following synopsis of the movements which
resulted so fruitfully:
Movements were begun on the 2fth in the
midst ofa heavy. rain, which continued with
but slight intermssion.
The enemy's advanced posts were formed
on all roads leading south, not more than nine
miles distant from Murfreesboro.
On the left, Buffers Kentucky cavalry were
driven rapidly through Hoover's Gap to Beech
Grove. They had not time to place artillery
in the finished works in the Gap. Two com
panies where cut off aud scattered among the
hills.

ted infantry and Bates rebel brigade casued.
in which the enemy attempted to flank US but
were repulsed by the 18th Indiana with heavy
loss. Our loss is about fifteen killed and fifty
wounded. The fight lasted eight hours. The
rebels had two guns disabled by kelly's and
Harris batteries.
The battle ended with the night, the rebels
being still in possession of Beech Grove and
the ridge OF hills dagonally crossing the road
to Fairfield and Manchester, and Ewingvile
and Garrison's Fork through which our course
lay.
On Thursday the rebels threw up fortifica-
tions and planted Darden's battery to rake
Hoover's Gap III which Gen. Thomas corps
had been massed. Later in the evening they
opened. from five points heavy cross fire upon
our position, but were soon sienced by Loom
is, Church's and Harris batteries.
On Friday General Rosecrans made a flank
movement to the right, for the purpose of
getting on the Fairfield road and cutting the
rebels of from their line of retreat. The regu-
lar brigade, Major Coolidge commanding, In
the absence OF General King at Murfreesboro.

rapid and brilliant charge upon Bates rebe
brigade, forming the rebel left, driving it in
great confusion for half mile and causing the
rebel right to hastily evacu ate Beach Grove.
and retreat in great haste towards Fairfield.
Col. walker, through fear of being fianked bv
force apparently moving on his right, but re-
ally retreating, failed to move his brigade as
far as the Fairfield road and the enemy es-
capped, threw away everything but their guns,
strewing the country with blankets, and KNAPP
sacks
Gen. Rosseau pursued the rebels to Fair
field, from which place they retreated TO TuI-
lahoma.

taking thirty prisoners, including three Of
ficers.
On the centre, Clayburn's division was en-
countered at Liberty Gap, and severe en-
gagement of an hours duration ensued. Our
loss was about 800. The rebel loss is un-
known. Colonel Gowen, of the Second Arkap-

A CoPPERHEAD DEALT-WITH

The army train that arrived here yesterday
from Harrisburg, having come to that place
from Martinsburg, Va. halted on Tuesday
evening at point about fourteen miles from
this city. The people along the road were
frequently ala:medias the train advanced, sup
posing it 10 be rebel force. But at the point
where the halt of Tuesday evening occurred,
the proprietor of fine house and estate went
to the chief officer of the train and asked if
they were Secessionists. By way of a joke,
he replied that they we're. Thereupon the
gentleman bid them welcome, and told them
that his house, grounds and anything he had
were at their disposal. The officers and men
Disguised at such Copperheadism, and letting
him know that they belonged to the Union
army, helped themselves to what they wanted
and treated the proprietor to aducking. They
were principally from Ohio, and have been in
service for long time in Virginia, where
they say they encountered no worse ene-
my of the Government than this Pennsylva-
sia Copperhead. .-Phiia. BuLietine, july 2.

vALLAND1aHAM AND WOODWARD.

1t is whispered in copperhead circles that
Yall,ndigham will be at the Clifton House
on the Canada side of Niagara Fals-in a few
days. But the whereabouts of that gentle
man is of little consequence now. He is a.
bout played out. The Union men of Ohio
won't talk about lower figure than hundred
thousand majority against him in October. In
fact the nomination of that traitor has done
more to strengthen the cause of the Union,
than almost anything else that has happened.
Yet, let it not be forgotten. the same party in
Pennsylvania endorsed Vallandigham, and
strongly approved of his nomination. Val
iandigham and Judge Woodward have thus
been set side by side upon the same platform;
and if the people of Ohio repudiate the form
er by 100000, by what vote shall those OF
Pennsy lyania reject the latter
By later advices we learn Vallandigham
has arrived at Halifax.

THE FLIGHT OF BRAGG.

Amid drenching rains, and over almost i'm
passable roads, the gallant Army of the Cum
berland, led by its great general, Rosecrans,
has ptshed on inTennessee, and the clustering
rebel. Bragg, has fed before him ing loriously.
The town of Tullahoma, which is naturally a
very strong position, and which had been for
tilted by very extensive works, has been aban-
doned, and it is now occupied by Rosecrans
The delay of our advance, caused by the ter
rible condition of the roads, enabled the ene-
my to remove nearly everything from Tulla-
homa, and he is strong in men and the ma
feriai of war as he was before he evacuated the
place. But it is no small advantage to have
captured one of his strongest positions for de-
fence. and il is another advantage to have
compelled him to fly, for flying army is al
ways more or less demoralized. 1t is proba-
BILE that Bragg's intention is to make stand
at Chattanooga, whore be will have good de-
fsnsible position, and where Rosecrans will
be fifty miles further from his base of opera
tions than he is at Tullahoma. But we have
perfect confidence that when Rosecraus comes
up TO Bragg, he will gain great aud decisive

GOV. Aiken of s. C. in the Libby
Prison.

Parson Brownlow has addressed a
note to the Nashville Union, confirming
the truth of the report that the venerable
South Carolina patriot is incarcerated in
q vile prison for no other crime than
loving his country and refusing to con-
tribute of his wealth to her destruction.
Gov. Aiken owns-or did own before the
war broke out 300 slaves, but says he
would see slavery perish thousand
times rather than give up the Union.
Have any of the Democratic papers tears
to shed over the suferings of this noble
man. or are they all reserved for such
traitors as Vallandigham. We copy the
Parsons letter in full, and hope the Gov
eminent will at once act upon his sug-
gestion:
4 EDITOR UNIoN:-I have this day con-
versed with Dr. Everett, Surgeon of the
9Th East Tennessee Infantry, who was
recently confined in the infamous Libby
Prison, at Richmond. He tells me that
he was confined in the same room with
Ex-Governor Akin, of South Carolina,
! and hold frequent conversations with
him. So many ounces OF bread anu
meat were dealt out to each prisoner per
day, and the venerable old gray-haired
nafriot received his daily allowance,
while the boys in prison volunteered to
do his cooking for him. The offenses
for which be was imprisoned were, refus-
ing to take the oath of allegiance to the
Confederacy, and to contribute means to
sustain the rebellion. In conversing
about his confinement, he would fire.
quently shed tears.
This venerable old patriot, who has
served his State as Governor, as Con
gresham, and as a member of her Leg
islature, is the largest STAKEHOLDER in the
S Confederacy, and about the wealthies
: man in South Carolina; but he lisa UnioI
man, and stubbornly refuses to be any
!, thing else For this he is incarcerateC
in a prison! His cruel confinement ha
: been kept a secret from the outsid
world, and it has been kept out of South
i. ern papers, because his villainous perse
- cutors were ashamed to let his impris
> onment be known
d There is no organization in Sout
d Carolina, or anywhere in the secede
:. States, that can afford Governor Alike
relief, and insist that our Government

t, prominent rebel citizens, and contn
II them in irons until this "old man elC
= quent is set at liberty. II Mr. Lincol
= and Seward do not attend to it, l propos
l. to Gen. Rosecrans and Gov. johnson

Burning of the Ruih--.Additi0na
Particulars.


A gentleman who was passenger on
board of the Ruth, at the time ofthe fire
which totally destroyed hat Inflated
steamer, and the lives of not less than
twenty-six persons, gives us some addi-
tional particulars of the disaster. He
wishes to make known the prompt, hui
name and courageous conduct of two
gentlemen who were conspicuous in
THAR efforts to save the lives of others
who were in peril during the accident.
They were Mr. VIM: II. Loomis, clerk to
Paymaster Brigden, and J. T. Greves,
clerk to Paymaster White.
Our informant is uncertain whether
the fire was an incendiary one or acct
dental. When the boat was run ashore,
she struck with great violence The
small gang plank was run out, and the
officers. and crew and most of the pas
sengers rushed over it to the bank. The
engines and wheels were left working,
and by their action the Ruth's bow was
turned out into the river. This caused
the plank to fall into the water, carrying
with it those who were on it at the mo-
ment, several of whom lost their lives
AS she receded from shore, one of the
paymasters proposed to throw overheard
the large plank or staging" but in the
confusion and peril prevailing he did not
receive sufficient assistance to be ena-
bled to launch it. He then, together
with three other paymasters and a pay
masters clerk, sprang in the water, but
was impeded by linen buster he had
unconsciously kept on his arm, and could
not have reached shore, but for the as
sistance of Mr.. Greves, who waded in as
far as be could and held out pole which
the almost exhausted swimmer seized
and was drawn into the bank in safety.
Mr. Greves aided one or two others in
similar manner, and was the only per-
son then at the water side, the officers
and crew and the passengers, who had
gone out on the gang plank, having as
cended the bank and being among the
trees, to escape, as he supposes, from
the possible danger of an explosion of
the boilers.
Mr. Greves, in company with Mr..
Loomis, then fastened to cabin little

tory to the erection of fine three story

of the ground will be purchased by some
one who has the capital and the enter
prise to thus ornament it.
