FROM TENNESSEE.



Prisoners-East Tennessee free OF Rebels.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. rs.
Our occupation OF East Tennessee continues
comparatively quiet. In Gen. Fosters en-
gagement with Carter he captured seventy,
killed six, wounded ten and routed the balance,
and the expedition to drive the rebels from the
railroad was successful. Shackleford came on
the enemys pickets near Carriers station
Skirnishng continued all day Monday. The
rebels retired into their earthworks. The can
nonading was kept up all night. The attack
was continued until Tuesday and preparations
were completed to capture the party, but they
made their escape during the night, leaving
seventeen dead. Our loss was two killed and
seven wounded. This leaves East Tennessee
clear. The rowing bands will be picked up by
our cavalry. Our boys are in fine spirits and
health. Gen. Hartsuf LETT for the North on
Friday. Gen. Judah is in temporary command
of the corps. Forage and food are plenty.

The 29th i'm Sons of Temperance Hall.

Portland Division No. 95 celebrated the 2lst
birthday of the order in their hall in a most
agreeable and satisfactory manner The ex-
ercises were presided over by C. Vanhorn,
Esq, w. p, and were as follows:
Prayer by the chaplain. Music. Reading
of the Appeal of National Division, by presid-
ing officer. Music Address by Bro. NJ L.
Stevens. Music. Collation., prepared by the
lady visitors. Social intercourse, closing with
temperance song in the tune of America"
The main feature of the occason-the ad-
dress of Bro. Stevens-was an ably written
and admirably delivered production, and en-
braced the following specific heads, which
were finely elaborated, viz.
LIST. Epochs ia progressive movements, phys
icai, intellectual and moral, with the laws
governing their succession.
I'd. Constitution OF society forty years ago
in regard TO intemperance.
3D.. History of early temperance movements,
including Washngtonianism.
4th. Origin and history OF the Sons of Tenn
perance, of the n. Division, the Grand Dvi-
sion of Maine, and of Portland Division No.
95.
9th. The workings Of the Order and its eff
fleets upon society.
9th. The future prospects of the Order, &C.,
DC.
The parallel drawn by the speaker between
the influence of temperance and ntemperance
during the history of the Order, and in the
territory affected by its salutary workings,
was graphic in delineation and eloquent in de-
livery, and the whole performance reflected
great credit upon the speaker, who is young
man of marked ability.
The music, furnished under the direction OF
Bro. +. G. Rich, was admirable.
The gathering was not large, yet composed
of the former members and visitors of the
Division, and the occasion, in all its details,
was most agreeable and satisfactory. ~@*
