Burnside's March into Knoxville.

The telegraph says BURNsIDE's march
into Knoxville was perfect ovation.
Thousands of people lined the way and
received him with shouts and tears and
joy reigned supreme We cannot wonder
OF this in view OF what they have suffered
at the hands of the rebels. They have
been hanged by the road side, they have
been whipped till their blood ran down on
the ground, they have been imprisoned by
hundreds in filthy and noisome prisons;
their property has been wantonly destroy
ed, their wives and children have been in
suited and exiled; savage Indians have
been employed to hunt them in the noun
tains; they have suffered, in fact, all that
men can suffer, at the hands OF the mis-
creants who were determined to break
down their loyal spirit or else exterminate
them. Gen. BURNSIDE, in view of these
bitter wrongs, which would naturally lead
to revengeful acts, has done we'll in assur-
ing them protection, and that justice
should be dealt out against their oppress-
ors, and at the same time informing them
that revenge was no part of the policy Of
the Government. There are several regi-
ments of refugee Tennesseeans in BURN
L1DE's army, and as these men return with
burning hearts to desolate homes, it is only
natural that they whOuld be disposed
to treat with severity such of their oppres-
sors as they catch.

In the rule of my editorial conduct, shall

factious opposition which gives to party what
is due to country. And while the name of my
journal indicates, in unmistakable terms, its
politics, 1 shall, as faithful sentinel, forget
Wings, Democrats, Know Nothings and Re-
publicans, and remember only the Government,
and the preservation of the Federal Union-as

treasure their preservation may cost-even to
the determination of the present race of men,
and the consumption of all the means OF the
present age!
Publishers inserting this Prospectus once,
prominently, and sending me the paper to
Cincinnati, will be favored with an exchange.
