JET Davis declares there is DO hops for

listened to the Governors OfNorth Carolina,
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and
Virginia, in their re cent messages have rsitsF-
rated the same sentiments ; and Of like tone
are the declarations Of rebel Congrossmen, L.
giElators and newspapers. Thsy doubtless
spsak their true sentimsnts-they have staked
thsiP all on the isSus-and while they can raise
an army and make show Of opposition, it is
very certain they viii not yield. But when
ear armies enter = rebel region the people
speak very diHerently-they have not, like the
ToOnbseS, DaviSes, and Letchsrs. staksd their
alI-and when the rebel armies are vAnquish-
ed and the rebel leaders disposed Of they will
very gladly save what the rebellion has left
them by returning to thsir allegiance. East
Tennessee is quite as loyal as SEINE portiono
Of Ohio. The same feeling has manifested it
Gslf in portions of North Carolina and Miesis-
sippi, and the following extracts show similar
manifestations elsewhere
A Little Rock correspondent Of the St.
Louis Democrat, writes under date Of Novsm-
Der 79th:
The loyalty Of ArkAnsas il developing itself
30 rapidly and in such decided shape, cannot
but let your loyal readers hear of things here.
Lieutenant Colonel Caldwell, OF the Sd Iowa,
on his late daring and gallant expedition to
the southwestern portion Of this State, reports
an amount and an intensity of loyalty not un-
WhoFty even our great cause. Old men, wo-
men and children came for miles to meet their
deliVerePs aud to weleomO them. They came in
| the daytime and at night, on foot and on
horseback, and in all manner of vehicles,
bringing information and eatables, such az
butter and buttsr-milk, and whatever else
they thought acceptable.
The womsn threw their arms even around
the horses necks in their great joy, and Wept
like children. Their loyalty is even equal to
that of Western Arkansas. Az evidence oil
their loyalty, they are coming out from ten to
twenty daily, and joining the regiment now
/ forming here under C0lenel Fishback of Fort
Smith. All these men, both in Western and
Northern and Southwestern Arkansas are
radical on the question Of emancipation. You
nor your readers can form no idea of the great
reaction which has taken place in the minds
of the loyal men Of this State. In many per-
tions of the State it would be worth as much
as mans life to advocate the re-estRblish-
ment of the " institution"
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
with the Army of the Cumberland, writing
from RinggOld, Georgia, Immediately after the
late battle, gives the following account:
While our forces were at Ringgold hundreds
Of citizens from many miles around, some of
them bringing their families came into our
camp and asked for protection. The most Of
them did not disguise that they had support
ed the rebellion. But, they said this last
blow would be the death of the Confederaey,
and there was no use in holding ont longer
They represented that the condition of that
entire population was dOplorable, and that
their suferings were becoming intolerable-
A few came to rejoice, to welcome the old
flag, and to help carry it onward. The great
er part Of those who came wanted to come
within our lines, and begged to be permitted
TO do 30. When told our transportation was
barely enough to supply our own wants, they
said that If we would only take the few house
hold goods, such as bedding and limited sup
plv of domestic articles thew had brought
with them, they would leave their provisions
and follow the army on foSt, Their appeals
were most earnest, and in many instances pit
iful. When the army moved out Of town be-
fore day break this morning, long cavaleade
of refugees commenced to follow, but the most
of them were cut off and left behind by the
turning of the long hedge on the Chickamau-
ga. As it was, however, nearly two hundred
persons, men, women and children, made their
way to Ohickamauga with our forces, by
whom they were well cared for
A correspondent Of the Boston Traveller,
with the Army Of General Banks, writes as
follows from Southwestern Texas:
" The expedition of General Banks to
Texas il glorious success The Union men
are rallying under the standarsd of General
Banks in large numbers. All the TexanS re-
quired was q force to back them up, and they
repeatedly said, if a sufficient army was sent
to assist them, they would soon have Texas all
right again. They have already proved the
truth OF their statements for General Banks
has recruited two regiments since he landed in
that State, and the work is still going en-"
