Highway Robbery.

"A few days ago, Mr.. Vim. Dishman, of this
comfy, went to Mr. Gobble's, in the Gap, on
the, road leading to Russell, for the purpose OF
getting pistol repaired Whilst there, q SOL
der who was there at the time, noticed that Mr..
Dishman had some money. When Mr.. Dishman
started home the soldier made it convenient to
60 along the same way. After they started, the
soldier intimated that he thought the pistol had
not been well done, and asked to look at it,
Mr.. D., sssmelling a mise," refused to hand
him the pistol; whereupon the soldier jerked il
out of his hands, and demanded his money. D.
protested, but all to no purpose. The soldier
demanded his 'smoney or his life." The money
was surrendered amounting to about eighty
dollars--and the soldier went on his way, the
possessor of'Mr. Dishman's pistol and money.

From the Philadelphia Age.
Handouts for Freemen.

A few days ago we saw in the streets Of
this fair city a sight calculated to fill every
heart with horror. Walking between a file
of soldiers, in one of our most crowded
throughfares, were FIVE white fre.men, hand
cufed and strongly guarded by their military
escort. Over the iron manacles that bound
the wrists of several were. thrown handker-
chiefs; and the downcast look and sorrowins
eye of the conseripts told how deeply they felt
the degradation they were compelled to suffer.
These men had committed no crime Their
names had been drawn from the fatal wheel;
and, in agony Of doubts, whether they should
remain with their loved ones in these sore
times of want and trial, or eagerly march to
fill the ranks Of the army in this. .swar for the
African and his race" they had not prompt.
~ reported to the provost marshaPs office,
and were called deserters. This sight, we
are informed, is no extraordinary one. 1t is
of frequent and almost hourly occurrence
Compelled to suffer the grossest indignities,
thousands are daily tortured with the CALLING
thought that in this land of freedom they
must meet the fate of slaves. But, be patient !
few weeks more only must pass away, be-
fore the freemen of Pennsylvania will have
an opportunity Of shifting at the. ballot box
the miscrsants who are now striving to de-
privs them Of their liberties. II going to the
polls, remember, freemen, that the Abolition
lists of this proud city have forged handouts
for white men, and given shoulder straps to
negroes.

B@- Mr.. Robert Thayer, a citizen Of this
county, and member of Davidson's Battery,
was capturedat the late fight at Blountville, and
taken to Knoxville. He was paroled a, few days
ago, and has returned home. He says he was
parcird through the influence of Connaly F.
Trgg. who is now at Knoxville, in command of
the 9Th Ohio regiment. He saya that Col. Da-
vid Cummings was in the same prison with him
self, but thinks he had been paroled through
the interpositien of Brownlow, who was also in
Knoxville. He gives no estimate of the enemy s
numbers, but says they are in strong force, beth
at Knoxville and at Rogersville.f OF the "a
prisoners captured by the Yankees in Upper
East Tennessee, Mr.. Thayer says that &c had
taken the Yankee oath and Yankee bounty. and
had entered the Yankee Army. God have mer-
cy upon their souls if they have any souls, but
We hope our boys viii not spare their bodies if
they ever get chance at them. The poor
miserable devil that would turn traitor to- his
home, his country and his friends, deserves no
more favor than reptile, and should be treated
as such.

Martha washington College.

1t will beseen by the list of appointments for
Holston Conference, that the Rev. Mr. Boring
has been appointed agent for Martha Washing
ton College. The best selection that could have
been made. We have the fullest confidence now
that the heavy debt hanging over the institution
will be cancelled. Messrs. Stuart, Buchanan &
Co., who hold the debt, have not only generously
proposed to remit portion of the debt, but are
willing to take the common currency.
As this institution has proved itself to be one
of the best in the Confederacy or anywhere else,
and is disseminating an incalculable amount of
good in the country, of course the people will
respond literally to the calls Of Mr.. Boring, and
thus enlarge the sphere of the usefulness of the
institution.

occurred, if they had been in the cars, where
they ought to have been-both were upon the

Burnside,S Forces.

The Philadelphia papers state that Burnside
holds an important position in East Tennessee
with two army corps, and that, as soon as he
drives the rebels back into Virginia, he will
finish the work Rosecrans had commenced.
We learn from gentlemen from Tennessee.
that he had recruited six regiments of East Ten
nessee tories, which, if true, added to the two
corps comprising 5000 each, would give him
the $4,000 claimed by some of the Yankee jour-
mails. This is pretty strong force. but were it
doubled, they would not he able to hold Upper
East Tennessee. Iii understood that the Con-
federate authorities intend to re- possess all that
division of the State, and warm work NAV be ex-
peeted in that quarter before many days.

paap.eroUs GOMnteTfeits.

We have lust been shown two dangerous
counterfeits, against which it is proper to
guard the public. These counterfeits are es-
necially dangerous, from the fact that spuri-
GUS issues of enc of them were made a year
AGO or more. and the discrepancies between
the genuine and the counterfets then pointed
out by the papers. This new spurious Issue
has corrected all the errors and variations Of
the former counterfeits of the same date and
denomination.
The first counterfeit is of the denomination
Of 500. interest bearing note, dated Septem-
Der lst. 1862, printed by Keatinge & Ball,
Columbia. S. C. The second is a Hoyer &
Ludwig 500 bill, dated September I'd, 1861.
In the hundred dollar counterfeit the face
of Mr.. Calhoun at the lower left hand corner
|. of the bill is very badly executed, especially
the mouth which looks as if something were
held in it causing the lips to protrude. The
imprint Immediately under is in larger letters
than in the genuine, and the b IN Columbia
is defective, whereas it is perfect in the genu-
inc. In the genuine the liae, with interest
ut two cents per day." is printed on the red
word Hundred" This shade does not show
in the counterfeit or if at all, too family to be
noticed. The whole execution OF the counter
felt is inferior to that OF the genuine, and the
note little smaller. The date of the genuine
note is filled in Sept. lst, that of the counter.
felt Septr. l,
The $50 is more difficult to describe and
detect than the 500, and is the most danger
Gus counterfeit we have ever seen. We have
csunterfeit and a genuine bill before US,
and save that the counterfeit has been printed
with too much ink, and therefore locks much
blurred, it would be very difficult to distin-
guish the one from the other; and we are not
sure that this would be reliable test. as even
the genuine bills are not always uniform in
celor. The only obvious difference is that in
the genuine there is clear space between
the tops Of the letters in the word America
and the waves under the large ship in the
centre, whereas in the counterfeit the heads
of these letters run quite up to the waves
In the counterfeit We have there is plain,
anshaded capital to the left of the large or
nanented letter A, which indicates the issue
of the note; in the genuine before US there. is
none, nor do we recollect to have seen any
genuine notes with such letter. In the gsnu-
inc, just above the letter A. and little to the
right, is the number %, which is not in the
counterfeit. Wilmington Journal.

Flag Presentation.

On Friday of last week, the ladies of Abing-
don, through COL VIM. Munford, presented Col.
Peters Regiment witlsa beautiful Flag. Aweek
or two previous during the battle near Zollicof-
fer, the regiment had gone into the fight with
no flag but. a handkerchief with sword for q
staff.
In presenting the Flag, Col. Munford said
Soldiers am honored by these your coun-
trywomen, with the request to present to you, IN
their name this Flag. Lifting, for o time, the
veil which hangs between the Southern woman
and the public eye, they have ventured thus far
with me to consecrate this scene with their pre-
sence, their, blessing and their prayers. The
soldier could ask no better boon-their earnest,
trusting hearts could do no less.
When our country's name shall live in letters
of gold upon the scroll of Independent nationali-
ties, and the story Of this our struggle shall be
told, how much of it all, was won by their sweet
influence and all pervading sympathy, the cold
philosopher may fail to discover; but while the
harp can vibrate to the minstreps lay, or the
poets song, ''the echoes along the corridor OF
| theme will whisper of the sacrifices they have
offered on the altar of our holy cause.
Ever ready to cheer you with their smiles, to
soothe you with their sweet comfortings, to SYM
pathize in your heroic trials, and more than all,
to bless you with their prayers, they are here
to-day, in the bright smiles of Heaven, to con-
secrate this sacred symbol of your country's ho-
nor. BE it yours to keep it as unsullied as their
precious hearts, as untarnished as their lovely
souls.
Through you, then, Sir, addressing 1t. Col.
Edmondson,) who have borne from the bloody
field nobler badge of honor on your body, than
would be'a jeweled star upon your breast they
bid me pass it to your men, And soldiers, in
the tace of the once braggart foe, but now the
'impregnable'' skulker, amid the rattle of the
guns and the wild fury, of the charge-in all the
scenes of glory-give but one moment to this
fair scene, these soft and swelling hearts, these
bright and blessed eyes, these lovely landmarks
for onlygallant men-with ''God and the Right"
your battle cry-it can never be stained with a
single blot Of shame or yielded up with dishonor.
Soldiers, now commit it to your charge, and
may the blessing of the God of Battles rest upon
you while you have its holy. keeping.
In the absence of Col. Peters, the Flag was
received by Capt. Crockett, in brief and ap-
propriate response, and was borne off by the re-
giment with apparent satisfaction and pride.
As'we are writing these lines, we have but
little doubt that that Flag waves amid the smoke
of battle, as the boom of cannon Is upon the
wind, and Peters regiment confronts the foe.
