Litchfield enquirer., 1863-09-10
Official dispatches received in Washington ,nfirm the report that Gen. Burnside has cap


 tured Knoxville, East Tennessee, his cavalry having entered the place about the 4th inst At Kingston, we now learn, the rebels did not show much fight. but fell back, and finally re- treated. There were several skirmishes on 1 the way to Knoxville, the most severe of which was at Lodan, at which place the rebels were routed with considerable loss. Gen. Burnside s losses during the advance have been triiing. 1 Reports from Memphis are to the effect that Gems. Grant and Thomas have gone to New Orleans ; that Gen. Grant will command all the Mississippi region, and that Gen. Banks will go to Texas. It is also said that the rebel army under Joe Johnston has removed from the vicinity of Enterprise, but what direction it has taken is not known. It has, no doubt, gone either to Mobile or to Chattanooga. l TEE CALIFORNIA ELEcTIoN-The returns thus far received of the election held in Cali ffornia on the zd inst, indicate that the Re publicans have swept the State, electing all their candidates the Representa- lives in Congress, who are chosen ou general ticket-by immense majorities. At the cleo ton for Governor, in 1861, the vote stood as follows:
 Republican 56,o36 Union Democratic 30,944 1 Copperhead 31,750
 It will be seen that the two Democratic wings combined had clear majority in the State of seven thousand six hundred. This year fusion took place, and to this fact may be attributed the utter rout of the eonserya- tive Democracy. The people are determined to repudiate and crush apprehension where ever and in whatever shape they may find it.
 No RIGHTS To'A REBEL.-In Bridgeport, on Saturday, suit was brought, says the Stan- dard, by the frm of Pomeroy & Morse, pro- prietors of the copperhead organ in Bridge port, the Farmer, against New Haven man. The counsel for the defendant claimed that as Morse was an avowed rebel, no action in his behalf could be brought in our Courts. The attorney for the plaintiffs seemed to be struck with this view of the matter and the case was allowed to go by tie board.
 A gentleman at Vicksburg writes private I letter to the St. Louis News, to the effect that the negro regiments. now in process of organ- Ization down the river are being filled up very rapidly. He thinks about fifty of these regl- ments vii! be ready for service by the lst of l tlrtphor Ho n;1 from what he has seen of these sable soldiers, and the spirit with which they enlist, that they will be very efficient ele ment in the service.
 ASfew figures, lately obtained from the De- partment of Agriculture, tell story which the world would do we'll to consider. Our total agriculture! exports Exclusive of cotton) in ls6o-when we were yet at psace-were S90,- 649,556, of which Southern ports exported $ls738, ,365. In 1861, with half a million of men in arms. and no Southern exports, they amounted to $l37 ,O26, ,5O5, and in 1862, with a million of men in the field, (onehalf of them from the rural districts) and no Southern ex- ports, they reached the sum of Sl55, l42,0 ,07l.

 | A New Orleans letter to the St. Louis Dem ocrat says in relation to Jeff. Davis conscrip- ton, that, instead of strengthening his cause, it is filling his people with the most terrible az . l abap oto a11yicao he int, yior of Mississippi, which seem to be entirely trust, worthy, indicate reign of terror there through a vast part of the State, in consequence of the insubordination of the negroes.

 "As to newspapers, pamphlets and other publications, none have been or will be exclu- ded on the ground of party politics. But do not belong to that sentimental class who weak y and timidly allow brawng license to stab true liberty. Hence, when any publication ap- pears among us so licentious, lying or traitor ous, as to endanger the morality, or be likely to impair the spirit and vigor of this army, l feel bound by reason, justice and duty to my country,t to use my authority to prevent it's cir culation."
 CoppERHEAD1sM.-The resolutions of the late democratic convention in Massachusetts had not word of exultation for the Union victor ies gained, nor word of detestation for the traitors who seek to destroy the republic. On the other hand, a brave soldier who had lost an arm in battle, was hissed down when he at tempted to speak, alt bough he was delegate from the town of Lee. His great crime was in advocating the nomination of war democrat. The hssng and confusion prevented his speech from being heard, but the reporter of the Boston Journal was able to take down the following :--
