HIGHLY IMPORTANT AND ENCoURARGING
FROM BURNsIDE's ARMY.-The louisville
Journal of the 9th says;
We are in receipt of highly important
and encouraging news from the army Of
Gen. Burnside, by special dispatches re-
ceived last night from Knoxville. Gen.
Burnside holds the country south from
Knoxville 10 Calhoun, on the HiaWasse
river aud Western and Atlantic railroads,
and only twenty five miles distant from
Kingston, the junction of the Western
and Atlantic aud Rome railroads and
to the east of Knoxville as far as Green
vile, on the East Tennessee aud Virginia
railroad-being also in possession of all
the passes into North Carolina. General
Burnside's right wing is in communicA-
tion with Gen. Rosecrans, and his position
is all that could be desired His army
is in the best of health and spirits, and
we doubt not we shall soon hear the
most cheering intelligence from it. There
is everything in the posiiion and DISPOSE
ton of the Army of the Ohio to give
encouragement TO the friends of the
Union.

The following communication was re-
ceived sometime since but was mislaid,
or IL would have appeared before this in
our columns. II comes from source Of
high character, and needs no additional
comments from our pen, on the evil which
IL so righteously denounces:
CRYING SHAME.
Mr.. Editor I'll wish 70 make public
state of things which l have ascertained
TO exist, and from source which pre-
cludes the possibility Of mistake.
We have here Mr.. Editor, prison hos
pital, for rebel prisoners requiring med
ical treatment, and where they receive
at the hands Of our government the self
same surgical attendance, and draw the
self-same supplies as our own brave
boys, whom they have assisted to lay
low We are here, however, not going to
complain of this. Let us carry human
ity to its utmost verge, and if we err,
err on the side Of humanity.
But it is a crying shame to let these
poor minions of treason be toasted and
fawned on, and rewarded for their trea-
son
Rebel women overwhelm the fortunate
INN stes Of the Rebel Prison Hospital
with pies, tarts, cakes, custards, chick
ems, and the whole catalogue Of dsinties,
the bare recital of which will cause the
mouths of the poor, simply Government
cared for, Union hospital-ridden soldiers
TO water with appetizing juices.
Now let it be distinctly understood
that this does not even save anything to
our Government. lit did, however, this
would be no justification.
| remember, however, TO have read
with heartfelt appreciation, in the col
umns Of the Louisville journal, a fiery
rebuke of the mean, semi. copperhead
official tolerance of such an enormity Of
the above, which then existed in Louis
vile; and it had its effect. The abuse
was overhauled and adjusted. We, Union
men of Nashville, Mr.. Editor, invoke the
scathing wrath of your more ardent per
10 blight this disloyal tolerance here, fol
10 Stia&s On our nosttfig.
Let the poor rebel devils 50 fortunate
as TO fall into the hands of sn outraged
Government, be humanely provided for
but, in Gods name, do not permi hem
70 reap any advantage from ineir nc lsOr
do not lot treason shower down pies
and tarts, and cakes and custards, upon
them,

Onr Wonnaed.

Our hospitals are filed with sick and
wounded soldiers, who need the gym
patty and friendly care of all loyal men
and women. Abroad in many parts of
the.country, large contributions are being
raised for the brave sufferers who have
risked life and limb for our protection,
and the noble Sanitary Commission
busily prosecutes its philanthropic and
patriotic lAbors. Still, when there ere
thousands Of sufferers whose wants must
be provided for, we fear that some may
chance TO be without all of the attention
which they require. Are our hospitals
all Gdly provided for? Is there nothing
which the surgeons need for the comfort
of their patients? Can the loyal people
of this city furnish nothing which would
be gratefully received both by the woun-
ded soldiers and their medical attend
AntsY The friends of the rebel patients
in this city are very attentive to all their
wants, we are told, but we fear that the
hospitals are too much neglected by men
aud women who profess to be devoted TO
the Union cause. Forget not the soldier
in the hospital; he needs and deserves
our wArmest and kindest attentions.
We make these suggestions because we
fear, from many communications which
We have received within a few DAYS
past, that the large number Of wounded
who have lately been placed in the hos
pitfalls has prevented some, perhaps neoes-
sArily, from receiving all the care which
they require, Let our loyal citizens give
timely assistance in this matter.
People who are capable of sympathy
had better let their sympathios go out
for the relief of hundreds Of thousands
of suffering loyal families who are to be
found in all parts of our distracted land,
the wounded soldier, the orphans and
widows of our dead heroes, the SILVER
ing and houseless families of exled 10y
Alists; rather than bestow them upon
the miserable mon who have brought
sorrow upon us, and are seeking to.in-
crease il. Sympathy with rebels Dat

wno :. Governor OF tennessee.

A few days ago we discussed at some
length, communication in the Memphis
Argus, claiming that Hon. Edmund
Cooper is Governor of Tennessee, be-
cause, few hundred vstes were cast for
him in Bedford county, last August IL
viii be remembered that Mr.. Etheridge
has put in like claim for Ex-Governor
Campbell, at Washington, on the ground
that he received some votes at the same
time in West Tennessee. Hero are two
Governors elect, already, and how many
more Richmonds are to appear in the
field we know not. The correspondent
of the Memphis Argus, who seems to
have a very severe attack of the Ten
nessee Constitution, and is anxious to
keep up tho line OF apostolic succession,
has como out with another article in the
Argus, in which he makes the following
strange query and insinuation for one who
signs himself A Lover of his Country, -
and who is SO very anxious TO have Ten
nessee enjoy restoration Of civil govern
ment:
Now, would l be one of the lovers Of
reasonable construction of the consti-
tuition of Tennessee, TO assert that IsiiaDl
O. Harris lOas the Governor of Tennessee up
10 The last Tuesday in august last? We
have been told, and believe il TO be true,
that be ia guilty of treason 10 the con-
stitutiOn, but the lat0 has to make that decla-
ration before 10 is lawfully I1o,on to that
contribution.
If WIS are able to comprehend the
meaning of this very cautiously worded
language, the Argus writer holds, or will
hold, if he can find enough to back him
in the assertion that Isham G.. Harris
was in fact, by the constitution Of this
State, our Governor up to the first Thurs
day in August last He has already as.
serted that Gov. johnson is an usurper
and has no more rightful authority than
JEFF. Davis. He is willing to admit that
Harris has been guilty of treason, but
then that must be established in a Court
Of justice, by good and competent testi-
mony, and until that is fully established
the law will regard Harris an innocent
man 2 AS q matter of necessity, il
follows chat it Harris was the Governor
of the State up to the first Thurs
day in last August, his Legisla-
turs was the rightful law-making
body for this State, and we are
bound by all the obligations, contracts
debts and statutes which it passed
Quite a consoling reflection for Tennes-
see loyAlists.
Tho editor of the Memphis Argus
seems TO be not a little startled at The
ground assumed by his correspondent,
andsays: "We presume the writer's views
will not be endorsed by msny in our
midst" To which we reply that they
will BIO heartily endorsed by every
friend of the Southern Confederacy in
Tennessee.

WASHINGTON, Oct ga letter from
Dalton, Ga, dated Sept. Goth, published
in the Richmond Despatch Saturday, says
the over sanguine multitude will be some
what disappointed to know that the
chance of Bragg's taking Rosecrans's
army is no easy job, although his 'sses
have been heavy, yet has formidable
army. About $500 remain in the field

to endure transportation A report reach
ed Dalton, yesterday, that Gen. Sam.
Jonca occupied Knoxville, and that Gen.
Burnside retFeated toward Cumberland
Gap.
Major Rice Groves, Chief of Artillery
on General Breckenridgo's staff, died
Sunday from wounds received at Chicka-
manga.
The Examiner says there is no Gght-
ing at Chattanooga. Loose kilograms
from irresponsible parties would have Us
believe that Bragg had cut Roseersn's
communications, holds Lookout Noun
tain, the road to Nashville, &C., but from
Bragg's failure to resume the offensive,
we fear there is too much truth in Rose
GRAMS despatch 30 bis Government, that
he held an impregnable position. II is
said Burnside has succeeded in reinforce
ing him and we had no reason to
doubt it,
Imboden has recently made descent
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad with
the design of obstructing the passage of
reinforcements for Rosecrans, but, sad to
say, he was a day too late.
The Richmond Dispatch of Saturday
last contains Gen. Lees official report of
his Pennsylvania campaign. 1t occupies
nearly three columns of the Dispatch
The reasons for the campaign are thus
summed up: The position occupied by
the enemy opposite Fredericksburg be-
ing one in which he could not be attack
ed to advantage, il was determined 10
draw hin from il. The execution of
this purpose embraced the relief of the
Shenandoah Valley from the troops that
had occupied the lover part of it du-
ring the winter and spring, and if prac
ticable the transfer of the scene of hos
tllities north of the Potomac. II was
that the corresponding movements on
the part of the enemy to which, TO those
contemplated by US would probably give
rise, might offer fair opportunity TO
strike blow at the army, then command
ed by Gen. Hooker, and in any event that
the army would be compelled to leave
Virginia, aud possibly to draw TO its
support troops designed to operate a.
gainst other parts OF the country In
this way it was supposed the enemy s
plan OF the campaign for the summer
would be broken up and part of the sea-
son of active operations be consumed in
the formation OF new combinations, and
the preparations that they would re-
quire. In addition TO these advantages,
it was hoped that o'her valuable results
might be attained by military success.

composed of the following regiments: I'd

The bridge over Cripple Creek, on the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad,

This announcement has created extra

on Lookout Mountain, ranging on Chat
tsnoOga, met with the same untimely
fate that befel its big rebel brother at
Charleston recently. The gun bad been
aimed SO as to bear upon the depot 81

been made to knock depot, army stores,
and Federals generally into infnitessima
atoms--not much bigger than a copper

shot struck the depot, wounding two men

not look out for any such disaster to their

An EIectIon PLOT.

A conspiracy, designed to carry the
Ohio election, has been organized by the
secret societies of Illinois, Indiana, and
Kentucky. The plan is TO have as many
copperheads as possible so from those
States to Ohio, a few days before the
election, and stay until it is over, as they
say, to see that the election is fairly con-
Quoted. They are TO so openly, armed,
and rather court resistance than other
wise. 1t is, in fact, one of the old Mis-
souri, raids on Kansas enacted over again,
only on q larger scale. Money is forth
coming TO pay the expenses of all who
will 60. The movement is to commence
about the 9th Of October, but will not
be fully developed till day or two there
after. At nearly all their meetings in
Illinois the copperhead speakers are urg-
ing this movement.
