The Dispatch Of yesterday states, on
information received from a gentleman
direct from Tullahoma, that about 1900
Tennesseans belonging to ~Cheatham's
Division, mostly, had deserted the rebel
army, and given themselves up to Gen.
R~osecrans. II adds that the country
between the Tennessee river and MUIR
freesboro is full Of Tennessee desertors,
who have generally brought Of their
guns. AS an excuse for this wholesale
desertion, says the Dispatch
They say that Bragg has broken faith
with them, in that he had sent Tennes-
see and Kentucky troops oil to defend
Mississippi, and kept Mississippi troops
to defend Tennessee; and that now he
has fallen back south Of the Tennessee
river. They say that while they were
willing to Eight for Tennessee, they were
unwilling to go out Of the State to fight.
They also say that they have crops to
gather and othoy interests at home TO
look after which they could not do aud
remain in the rebel army, now that their
homes are within the Federal lines. IL
was understood at Tullahoma that the
number who had deserted from Cheath-

ADVICE TO THE JURY.
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury: In per-
forming the grave and importat duty up
on which you are about to enter, you
will be careful not 70 permit your alb
horrence of crime, or your just estimate
of its dangerous conse luences to inau.
ence your judgment in determining the
guilt of any person charged before you
with the commission Of an offence. But
you should, at the same time, be equally
cautious that no misguided charity shall
persuade you 70 withhold the guilty from
the rettibutious of Justice.
Grand Juries were designed TO be a
means of protection 10 the citizen against
the danger of a false accusation, or the
still greater peril of a sacrifice TO public
clamor.s' During a period, there fore, Of
great public excitement, an independent
ahA impdtNdA NlbOualBb VI tutlE Quty,
unswed by fear, and unbiased by preiu-
dice or passion, are essential TO both the
security of the citizen and the best in
terest Of the public.
When Grand Juries, in their delibera-
tons, are actuated by fearless indepen-
dence and manly determination, temper
ed by a proper respect for truth, and due
regard tor justice, they at once become
the shield of the innocent, and the dread
of the guilty.
Let your elaboration then, gentlemen,
be conducted with diligence, and in such
a spirit of independence and impartisli.
~, that whstever may be the result OF
them, you will not only have done your
duty, bat will have the satisfaction OF
k%nolOing that you have we'll and faithful
ly discharged the important trust con-
hded 10 you.

The Southern Illustrated News, re-
viewing the state Of affairs, exclaims:
Our own slaves are TO be turned against

What is it indeed true that in all the
world the cause Of the South can find
10 honest, genuine, sincere sympathy ?
Can its supporters find no kind greeting,
save from a few European Mobiles, a few
bribed newspapers, and the captains and
crews Of slave. trading ships? The
cause must be a bad one which the human
family instinctively abhOr. Poland,
Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Greece aud
Mexico, all find many millions Of hearty
sympathizers in distant lands. But
there is no sympathy for the Southern
Slave Confederacy. Iii Is regarded IS the
enemy Of the human race-a province Of
hell itself, Its pSrtisans wear the brand
Of Cain.

great force TO the unhappy state of af-

which may have an important bearing
upon that class of our citizens who. in
their political and party zeal, forgetful
of the claims of patriotism, and unmind-
full Of their obligations TO their Govern

and still do SO, upon the rebels who are
IN arms against il, aud who are exerting

REoRUIr1Na A M1spEMrANoR.

By an act of the last Congress, apprOy-
ed August 6, 1861, it was made . INSIDE
meanor TO recruit soldiers or sailors in
any Stale or Territory of the United
States TO engage in armed hostility
against the United States. 1t is in the
following words:
THAT If any person shall be guilty of
the act of recruiting soldiers or sailors
in any State or Territory of the United
StstestO engage in armed hostility against
the United States, or who shalt open a
recruiting station for the enlistment of
$ ,ch persons, either as regulars or vol
untsers, to serve as aforesaid, shall be
guilty of a high misdemeanor, and upon
conviction in any Court Of record having
jurisdiction of the offence, shall be fined
. sum not less than two hundred dollars,
nor more than one thousand dollars, and
confined and imprisoned for a period not
less thar one year, nor more than five
years.
SEC. 2. Thstthe person so enlisted or
engaged, as regular or volunteer, shall be
fined in like manner a sum of one hum
dred dollars, and imprisoned not less
nan OhO v AhOio man tuECo years.
By this act ii 10 made a misdemeanor
to recruit soldiers in any State for the
rebel service. 1t is the fact of recruit
ing for such service which constitutes
the offence, and il is a matter of no con-
sequence whether the person engaged in
it, be commissioned or not for that pur-
pose, or whether the troops enlisted be
actually forwarded to fill The rebel ranks.
The mere act of recruiting or opening a
a recruiting station for thse enlistment OF
persons TO engage in armed hostility
against the United States completes the
offence under this statute; and il any
person has been so engaged, within this
district, since the 9th day Of August,
1861, il will be your duty TO present
him TO the Court. We have seen that an
officer commissioned TO recruit, and who
actually recruits and forwards men for
such purpose, and who is leagued in the
general conspiracy, will be guilty OF trea-
son.
