Tory RAID IN THE MOUNTAIN Some
of the disaffected along the Tennessee
line are getting quite bold, We find the
following in the Asheville News of the
9th:
Goldman Bryson, at the head of about
f20 disloyal men, made a raid on the
town of Murphy, Cherokee county, last
Sunday week. They did but little dam
age to private property, but demolished
the Jail, and carried off some so or GU
guns and considerable ammunition which
belonged to the State, and had been sent
70 Cherokee for the use Of the militia
They met with no opposition, there being
nobody in town but a few old men, and
the women and children.
Bryson is a native of Cherokee county,
j.. but seems to have gone clean over on the
wrong side. He left the following docu-
ment behind him:
@. ". Hayes, d. T. Ramssur, II. Fdin,
and j. r. Dyche Dear Sirs: | am &C

Chattanooga, where the main body of

the latter upon Knoxville, where General

Gates that a great battle is imminent in
the vicinity of Chattanooga. The city is
well nigh deserted by its Inhabitants.
The enemy have crossed the Tennessee
river at Bridgeport, and are slowly ad-
vancing.
The Lynchburg Republican of Sat

miles of Knoxville that his force consists
altogether of cavalry and mounted infan-
try, and that they were committing all
manner of depredations. 1t is supposed
that a heavy engagement will ensue in a
very short time. Gen. Polk, we are as
sured, will defend Knoxville at all hazards.
The I" Republican,. also states that the
damage done to the East Tennessee Rail
road by the tories who burnt the bridge
near Bristol, can be repaired in two days.
Their object was to prevent reinforce

Age has neoer "professed" to be "neu-
trar' in this wal of the North. upon the
South. Had it done so, it would have
deserved and no doubt long since have re-
ceived, the quietus from the people which
such a dastardly course would have
merited-and which the Standard now
seems desirous it should receive because
it has not been neutral. The Age has
always "professed'' and maintained a
strict neutrality in all matters pertain
ing to party politics and sectarianism in
religion. But we thought there could
be no such thing as neutrality" with
any man in the crisis which has over
taken country. We thought il was
every mans duty which no one could
shirk who loved his country, his home
and loved ones, their rights and their in
~terests. We thought it natural that
true men might honestly differ in their
views as to what would best promote
these ends, but that it would be crimi-
nal to be a listless spectator and take
no part nor interest in a great struggle
that involved our own destiny and that
of our children's children to the reno
, test generation. Hence we have pur-
