The correspondent OF the Knoxville Register writing
from BCagg's army, August Sd, says:
There is little to interest the reader in all that may
now write from Bragg's army. | have acquired but
little Information save bg mixing among the soldiers 1t
becomes apparent, however that different spirit
prevails II the camps from that which pervades the
towns and country he'd beon told that Braggs army
was demoralzad that it vas partially dsorganzed by
the recent retreat from Winchester and Shebyvile and
that the country could longer upon its efficiency
We have all heard that Middle Tenne8seeans deserted
the march to this point and that the rest wished to
return their homes Ali this is untrue Our losses
by struggling and deserton were tr ng and most Of
those who abandoned their regiments would lave been
worthless on battle field The whole loss sustained by
this brigade (Preson Smith's) which numbers over
thousand, does not exceed thirty. II fact, Gen
Smiths strength is greater than when be left Shell
byviIle.
1t is somawhat singular, though certainly true that
the courage and spirit OF the army unlike that Of the
people, has remained unaffected by tie disasters which
have recently befaen 3 soldier is at first mad

which are n comprehended but when the wisdom or
necessity for the movement becomes apparent satisac

there are Infinitely fewer towards in the army than 10
the towns and villages. Men Injured to dangers and
barships do not bend before the storm which prosraes
purchasers OF substitutes aad those who love their
wealth more than their country. Tie man who is g.

letter from Lincoln county, Tennessee says On the
small farms throughout this section ell is life, activity

a plow, is NOW seen il the corn-feld-many young
gill who would have b!ushed at the thought before Of
handing ploW line, naturally aud unconsciously
cries gee up Dobbin" to the svery tones OF which
the good brute readily responds if it pleasure
to comply with so gentle command. Many Ruth,
of Old is today binding and cleaning in the wheat
field, but alas no Boaz IS there to console or to COM
time but pctare of primitive lite. Throughout the
country at every farm house and cottage, the regular
sound OF the loom, the shuttle flies to and ro with
the whirl OF the spinning is heard, telling OF
home industry. Cotton fabrics of neat pretty figures
the production of home manufacture are now almost
wholly worn in Tennessee, instead of calicoes.
