Ny SOUTHERN FRIENDS. By EDMUND KIRKE.
New York. Carleton, publisher. 1863
Hardly any work Of fiction founded upon
fact, since the issueo of ff Uncle Toms Cabin, /"
has been more eagerly sought for than
{" Among the Pines,' which, like the former,
is a tale of Southern life, in which the influ-
ence and teachings of the "peculiar institu-
tion are shown up with master hand. The
same author now gives US " Ny Southern
Friends" which also, as its name imports,
treats Of Southern life. 1t is not an Aboli-
tiOn book. The author does not use word
that can offend the veriest Copperhead. He
simply presents facts without note or com
ment but these facts are given in a way
that slirs every drop of blood in our veins.
He has evidently written for an honest pur-
pose, from high point of view, not to pleass
popular taste or inAame popular prejudice,
but to make known the truth, free from ia p
naticism or prejudice, and to serve the coun-
try, the whole country, and nothing but the
country.
The book is for sale in Cleveland by W. D.
Baker, 259 Superior street and l0S Public
Square.

The Great Conflict in East Tennessee;

The Great Conflict in East Tennessee.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette refers to the position and manOuYre-
ing of the Federal and rebel army in Ten
nessee as similar to the willy play Of two
sWordsmen, and says:
UThe history Of the Union and rebel ar
mics in Middle Tennessee for the past two
months is the history Of just such a sleep
less trial Of vigilance and skill as that be-
tween the swordsmen. The rebels seem
not 10 rest even for an hour. At times q
series Of demonstrations will commence on
one Of our wings, and extend entirely
round to the other, as though the rebels
would examine every portion Of the charm
ei circle within which lies the Union ar
nv, and discover, if possible, its vGlncra-
BE point. But wherever ke looks he finds
himself confronted by armed men, ready,
il he desires, to accept his challenge and
trv conclusions with him. Checked in this
manner, he quietly withdraWs. and not q
gun is fred on either side. So, too, the
enemy while he is making demonstrations
upon our lines, suddenly discovers that
Reynolds or Wilder is threatening his own,
and ct once begius a series Of Withdrawals
or counter movements TO check or battle the
supposed design. And thus the ceaseless
movement goes on, and the observer con-
stsntly beholds bodies Of troops marching
and countermarehing, going this way and
that without any oPpGreHt object.
HBut By and by all this preliminary play
win be over, and all Middle Tennessee viii
trenble with the tread Of mighty hosts
and the shock Of oontending arms. Both
armies are strong and confident. The op-
posing generals are well aware Of the mag
nitude Of the stake for which they play.
The most superficial observer can appre-
siate the benefcent results to the Union
cause which would attend the expulsion Of
the enemy from East Tennessee; while the
rebels universally believe as their pris-
oners ssy, as their presses indicate, and as
their private letters "a large number oi
which 1 have recently ready declare, thai
II they could only succeed in crushing
Roseorans, It would be equivalent to The
triumph Of the rebellion Only yesterday
I read an episte written by prominent
6secesh, which ardently sighed for peace
and expressed The belief that ROsecranl
and his army were about the only obstacles
70 its attainment. With what absorbing
interest will the nation and the world gazl
upon the momento1s conflict about to TAX
place in Middle Tennessee Let the lpya
take heart. We have here al the material
for obtaining success, and, better still,
leader who knows how to use them"
