The News of the Week.

We have stirring news frsm East Ten
nsssee and Chattanooga this week. In
our last, we informed oar readers that
movements were on foot that would drive
Burnside's army cut of Knoxville and
possibly capture his forces in the flight.
A large body of his troops were Stationed
at Loudon, Tenn, but finding thu Long
streets army was marching upon him, he
evacuated that place on Monday, the
10th but owing to the energy with
which our troops pursued and kept up
With him, he gave battle at Campbelps
Station, where a fight ensued, according
o yankee accounts, lasting from late in
he foeenoon till dark. The northern
account admits that our troops succeeded
in 1anking Burnside's forces, which com-
sslled him to fall back upon Knoxville,
which place they reached en- Tuesday
morning. Our forces pursued them into
Knexvils and resumed the attack on
Tuesday evening, when a terrific hand to
hand fight ensusd, which resulted in
compelling the yankees to fall back about
. third of a mile, as they say to astreng
4 line.' This is all a yankee account, and

lass at about fifteen hundred. They say
their Gen. Saunders was severely woun>

But advices from III side tell a very
different story. Up to the 18th, Long
street had captured 1900 prisoners and
Wheeler 600. In the eneny's retreat
from Loudon, Numbering about 5000
thew left 100 wagons, containing COM
nissary and ordnance stores, on the road
which of course fell into our hands. Ger
Longstreet was in front of the enem
and Wheeler in his rear.

What viii become of Us.

The yankees are boldly talking of hsw
they will treat the South, when they shall
have conquered US. All talk of peace
on any teras. except abject submission,
has ceased at the North, and the question
is hsw are we to be treated. Seward has
made = speech recently, and he Says,
There can be 10 peace to insurgents in
arms until they have submitted and &C
copied Abraham Lincoln as the President
of the United States"-that he must be
recognized as President in Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and
all the States of the South; that the
resurrection will perish under military
power, and slavery will perish with it.
He says he is willing to receive usNback,
bat we come back, cringing andbesging
for mercy. And all their prominent men
propose to treat US as conquered prison
ers, by setting aside our duly elected
Governors, Judges, Magistrates, and sub
s~tituins yankee rulers or such az Lin
coin may appoint. Ofcourse we will not
be allowed to vote unless we vote as be
may dictate and take an oath to Support
him.
And then as to our property LIN
coin and all his ruling, prominent friends
agree as to this-thsy argue that all his
tory teaches that the conqurcd must pay
the debts of the conqueror ; and conss-
q%uently the lands and buildings, stocks
and all other property Except negroes,
OF the South must be con6scated to tn,
use Of the so-called United States. Th,
negroes are to be set free and put ca al
equality with poor and rich white men
This is the Yankee scheme-the Lin
coin programme-and it would be vel
tor all our people to bear in mind that i
will be carried out to the letter if GU
enemies get it in their power to de so.-
Let no property holder in the SoItl
think that he will escape-let no PEG
man imagine that he will not be iniurs
while the rich man suffers. All will b
humiliatsd and ~bessared, unless the
take an oath of allegiance to- Lincoln

II. Hill, who demanded an inquiry into
the cause OF his relief frsm command in

explanatory, and removes every imputa-
ton that may have been INDUCED in by
the public or the press:
ADJT n INsP'T GEMS OFFICE,
Richmond, Nov. 90, 1868.
Lieut.. Gen. ID. II. HiH:
Gsnsrar:-Your letter, Of the 18th
inst, requesting that a Court Of Inquiry
may be ordered to investigate your con-
duct while connected with the army in
Tennessee, has been submitted to the
Secretary of War. In reply |. am in
structed to say that after careful consider.
GRAFTON of the subject, there does not an
pear any adequate cause TO Justify an or
der for such Court No charges have
been preferred by your Commanding
General or others againt you, and no
complaint, even of your military conduct,
has been addressed TO the Department.
You have been simply relieved from duty
at the request 6f the Commanding Gem
cral. Your military experience will
readily satisfy yeu, that the relief of an
officer trsm his command constitutes no
ground for a Csurt Of Inquiry, and t.
allow it to be. such could not fail to b..
p~rejudicial 10 the service. Other consid-
atoms than those Of military d~elinquen-
cy, such as contrariety of views, want of
harmony, or the like, may well have
induced such application. Indssd, with
an officer of your past service and ap-
proved gsllantry, military delinquency is
a presumption not to be inaplsed by any
one, and certainly not in the asssnc. OF
all charge or complaint sanctioned by the
Department. No injustice, therefore, is
| dsne you, as certainly no reflection or
your well earned military reputation is
intended by the Department, in decli.
ming, from general considerations for tn,
interest of the service, to grant a Couri
1 of Inquiry on your application.
