TIE NEWS.

Advices received yesterday from the vicini-
ty Of Meadow Bridge, confirm the statement
made by us on Saturday morning, that the
Yankee force lately at that point have re-
turned to Williamsburg.
\ rumor was extensively circulated in the
city yesterday to the effect that Burnside had
taken possession of both Bristol and Knox
vile, Tennessee. We feel warranted in eay-
ing that there is not one word of truth in
this statement. Passengers by the Western
cars, who arrived at Lynchburg on Friday
night bring intelligence that Burnside is ad-
vancing upon Knoxville with heavy force,
said to be composed entirely Of cavalry and
mounted infantry. A portion of his forco had
reached 4 place called Clinton, in Anderson
county, some twenty miles from Knoxville,
and was committing all manner Of depreda-
tions along their route. Several severe skir-
mishes had occurred, but no general battle
had been fought. The Yankee advance had
been much retarded by the gallant defence
made by oar trnops: but the resistance had
not been in sufficient strength to altogether
clreck their onward movement. 1t is sup
posed that a heavy engagement will ensue in
Il very short timo. Knoxville, we are sure.
will be defended at ull hazards. Gen. Polk
commands our forces.
In connection with this movement tho
Union men near Nev Market, on the East
Tennessee Railroad, short distance from
Bristol, burnt bridge and tore up'the track
in several places on Thursday The object
was to prevent reinforcements being sent to
Knoxville The damage done by these trait
crs is very email, and we learn can be re-
nairn1 in t,So days.

WRITTEN UNDER AGRAHAN's NOSE.

Martin T. Conway, an Abolition member of
Congress from the State Of Kansas, has re-
Gently written Il letter, dated from the city OF
Washington. to the editor of tho New York
Tribune" in which he uses 'the following
language:
Thus tho war became failure and utterly
ceased to bear upon tho question Of the sub
iugation Of the South in any manner whatever;
and now, whatever may be said to the contra
ry, there are few rejecting minds which have
not come to the conclusion that the indepcm-
dencc IF the South Is dn established tact,
whether recognized or not.
The war for the future. therefore, becomes
simply an instrument in the hands Of paItical
managers to cfGSt the rcsul. favorable to their
own personal ends.
As for tho Union, I would not give q cent
for it, unless it stocI as guarantee for free
dom to every man, woman and child within
its jurisdiction. consider the i,lca that eve
rything must be sacrificed to the Union az ut
terly prcpostcrous. What was the Union made
for that wc should sacrifice ourselves to il /?
/, for ono, would beg to be excused. As things
arc ! would sacrifice the Union to freedom
any morning before breakfast.
Very truly, yours

TIE LONDON NEHsBnYs.

We find the following paragraph in recent
number Ct the Philadelphia "Iuquircr :"
1t is asserted by English correspondents
that the London newsbrys cry, Good news
when reverse5 occur to our arms, and speak Of
disasters" when the Rebel army is beaten
or retreatin.. The fall Of Ecksburg is
Gloomy inteligencc;' the hopes of Lee to
take Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton take the form oc "Glnrious prospects and
brilliant anticipat;ons." With this temper
VIC find fault, certainly; but We know how To
rank md treat our enemies, anu there an end
is Of the matter.
But we cannot 80 easily compose our ruff
fled humor when We read their cool, decided
ail;i,@ssftcn sinsenseiy asinine comments and
criticisms upon the movements of our armies,
almost always to our prejudice. They put
forth their views with such an appearance Of
knowledge. aud such Nonchalance of easy
judgment, that wo. at first, believe that the
editorials arc written at least at the Horse
Guards-no great claim that, cither-or that
they have sven engaged French military pro
fessors from the Polytechnic and other col
legos to conduct that department.

HON. ROBERT JEMISON, JR.

The new Senator elected to fll the place made
vacant by the death Of Hon. Vim. l.. fancy, is
thus spoken Of BY the Montgomery ".tdverti,
ser -
In the party nomenclature of the past, Mr. Je-
mison was a Wing and American, and those who
knew HIS sentiments best from long intimate a.
sociaton, say that he always adherad to his ear
ly faith rs State Rights man. He had. how.
ever become identified with those who did not
think the time had come for united move
ment of the Southern States for secession, and
hence we find him in the Convention which vo-
ted Alabama ont of the Union co .operaionist :
but he signed the ordinance of secession, and
gave in his adhesion to the action of the Cnnven,
tiun when taken as irrevocable and binding on
every loyal citizen. From that day TO this
Mr.. Jcmison has been firm aud unfnlterng in
support Of the war. and has rendered Efficient rs
sistance to the Governor. whose aid he has been.
raising troops for the State and Confederate ser.
vice.
Mr. tensions election. therefore, on the score
of his antecedents alone. cannot l'ut be hailed
with satisfaction by the true patriots of the coun.
try. We feel authorized +" say for Mr. Jemisun.
that he is opposed to reconstruction on any terms
and that will favor the most vigorous prosecution
cf the war until independence is achieved. In
point Of ability Mr.. Jemison is marked ns man
Of strong practical sense, and his influence in
this respect will be fel: in any assembly with
which he is connected.

+. The commanding general has learned
that the wives of numerous officers and sol
liers nre now with this army. In view of the
services the troops may at any time be called
upon to perform, the General commanding
considers that the attention of officers and
men should be solely occupied with their
public duty. and that the presence Of their
families is incompatible with the complete
discharge Of the same. II is, therefore, di.
rccted that all females now with the army
uther than those who are nurses, pr attached
to the Sanitary Commission, or who have spe-
cial authority from the War Department, or
there headquarters to visit and remain with
it-be forthwith removed beyond its lines.-
The commanding General regrets that it
should become his unpleasant duty to issue an
order of this character, and he trusts that its
propriefy will be recognized, and that it will
not he necessary for him to recur to the SUBJ
icet. By command Of
