The War.

We have received official intelligence that
the siege Of Knoxville is at an end On last
FRIDAY Gen. LoNGSrREEr ceased offensive oper-
ations and marched with cavalry rear guard
towards Virginia. On 1hurs,lay Gen. SurE-
MANS expedition, seut from Chattanooga for
BrRNsIDE's relief approached Knoxville on the
west and formed a junction with The garrison.
Lonsstreet, with ali his trains and artillery, re.
treated past Fosters outposts on the Clincb.
skirhshing with them as he marched a,onr.-
a junction was ut once formed with Burnside
ant his line of communication is now omen with
Cumberland Gap. Longstreets progress beyonl
Fosters camps is not known.
There arc Southern accounts Of the retreat
of Grants army to Mission Ridge. No change
has been mAde i, the disposition of forces at
Chattanooga since yesterdays adv;cos. The
Confederate Central Hreckinridgc, who was re-
por.ed killed, is saie at Dalton where he was Sc.
renadetl few days sin9c.
The Contederates claim to have captured five
hundred prisoners from General Mcale in his
late expedition to Mine river. Among the cap
tured is General Meagaer, Of New York
They report that nothing was left behind by the
Federal army in its retreat 10 the northern bank
Of the Rapidan. Gen. Lee has crossed several
regiments eyer The Rapidar at each of the fords
thus occupying the ground to The north Of them.
Tho Federal lines do not now extend 10 the rIy-

stones throw Of Crlpeper There is 40 OK

Conservative Convention at Cincinnati.

The Conservative Old Line Wing Convention,
at Cincinnati, OF Thursday, was attended by q
respectable and influential delegation from all
parts of the North and Border States Ex-
Governor Campbell, Of Tennessee, was chosen
President. This Con vention is celebrating with
closed doors, and but Little, thus far, has trans
pired of Its proceedings. 1t is understood that
the remarks of the delegates were of the strong
est and most decided character against the pol
icy of the Administration.
! Senator Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, declared
that military interference with elections was a
trocious and infamous, and was sapping the
foundations of American liberty. The platform
of the Convention will probably be an appeal
to the Southern States to return to the Union
in which contingency, they are to enjoy every
right Of personal property they had before Sc
cession. The war is to be prosecuted for that
object and none, other.
There are decidedly united feelings among
The delegates. No Presidential preference vii!
be avowed at present; that will be left to q
more numerous and general convention TO be
held at some future day. The present Conven-
ton viii only issue On address and resolutions
The Convention will probably continue two Oh
three days.

will be pleased in pursuing 1t, not only because it
will yield handsome income, but also in eonse-

there is scarcely person cut of thousands who
ever pays any attention to advertisements of this
KIND, thinking they are humbugs. Consequently
hose who 10 send for instructions will have broad
field to make money in. There is class of persona
IN This world who think that because they We been

SAVING MONEY. lit would be well for farmi
ers to remember that in every ton of hay saved,
from Sl5 to S25 are made. We are glad TO
see that the farmers of this and adjoining coun-
ties are s'waking up" and learning that often
$1,000 may be made by spending S50.0o.--
Our friend, VIM Hartley, seems to exercise ex-
cellent judgment in his selection of labor-saving
machines, and without saying one word to dis
parage his Gum-spring Seeder, Iron and Steel
Mower and other useful machines, we must say
that nothing could be better adapted TO its pur-
pose than the sEureka Hay, Straw and Stalk
Cutter and Crusher." Hartley, we understand,
is selling hundreds of these Cutters and Crash
ers, in this and adjoining counties, and we hear
nothing but praise from all who use them. The
No. 3 and No. 2 give the best satisfaction, be-
Ing horsepower machines, and are well worth
all they cost, considering the excellent style IN
which they are made and heir great usefulness
in the saving of feed. One Of our friends says
be will save at least $4,000 worth of hay thli
winter by getting one of these cutters.

enrolled to be forwarded to him. Nehope this
matter will be attended to so that the enrolment
will be full. AS it stands at present it is quite

thus situated and who desire to exempt one OF
