The Chattanooga Rebel of the S0th
says editorially, that considerable APP
prehension was manifested yesterday at
the reported advance of Burnside with
q column Of 10000 mon upon East

TENNESSEE has fully awakened this
Department to the Importance of separa-
ton in accordance with this. New levies
of troops recently raised under the
proclamation of Gov Vance have been
ordered thither, and are ere this posted

have one of the bloodiest battles of the
war.
