WAR ITEMS. Generals Hooker and
Palmer have evacuated Ringgold, after
burning all the mills, depots, public build
ings and railroad bridges.
- Gen. Thomas has telegraphed to
Washington that the plans Of bis late
movement were matured by Gen. Rosecrans
before he was relieved from the command
of the Army of the Cumberland, and chat
in the late action he carefully followed
Gen. Rosecrans' previously glvea direc-
tiens.
There has been no sighting at Chat
tanooga since Hooker's attack on Bragg's
rear at Ringgold, on the 26th. Bragg
was forced to march on, being badly
whipped, and inficting considerable loss
upon Hooker. Our loss is about five hun
di ed to six hundred tina enemy's much
larger. The army movements now going
on are not for the public eye at present
but when It strikes again it will be equally
as successful as it was at Mission Ridgt
! on the 24th.

eight men in consequence of the Select

The CONSPIRACY. A letter from c.
s. Tarpley, found among the JEFF. Davis
papers, adds another to the long list Of
proofs that the leaders ofthe rebellion were
long at work planning and organizing their
iniquitous scheme. Writing IN 1858, Mr..
Tarpley looked forward to split in the
Democratic party IN 1860, and the seces-
SION of the southern states to "set up for
themselves" as he expresses it. He adds:
"Should the contingency happen as |
anticipate, then the south must have some
representative man. need hardly tell
YOU who that man should be. My object
is to prepare the public mind and turn the
public eye in the proper direction. What
SO well calculated TO do this as your
speeches and other emanations of your
brain upon the rights of the south, and the
appropriate remedies for insults that have
been heaped upon her."

tfRArZ BRowE. More than half
century ago, Dutchrnan by the name of
Yoder went into Spencer county, Ken
tuclsy and opened a farm there. He was
industrious, thrifty and shrewd, and not
particularly scrupulous as to the means
he employed to gain a desired end. In
the course Of his life, he had great
many lawsuits, and he used to say he
found it was much better to fee witnesses
than TO fee lawyers. His wife, descen-
dant of a French Huguenot, who had
escaped into Holland from the prosecutions
which followed the revocation of the edict
Of Nantes. she was member OF the
Presbyterian church, firm believer in
the tenets of Calvin, and one of the ex-
Cellent of the earth. Shortly after her
death it so happened that several of the
negroes belonging TO the place also diod,
and Old Yoder, as he was called, said
be had sent his wife to heaven and half a
dozen niggers to wait upon her.
He died, leaving two accomplished and
amiable daughters to inherit the fathers
wealth and the mothers virtues, One Of
them married David r. Poiguand, OF
French descent but native of Massa-
chusetts, who settled on the old homestead
and still lives there, The other daughter
married Judge Brown of Frankfort. A

E3 The Hon. Jacob Collamer Of
Woodstock made spirited and effective
speech at war meeting at the City Hall
in Cambridge, Mass, on Monday evening
last.
In the course of his remarks he said
that this war could not be terminated by
prayer and fasting, but by balls and bay
onets. Some people grumbled because
the war had not been finished sooner, but
all had gone right. If the government
had put 100000 men into the field in the
beginning of the war, all of them could not
have been armed. We had great deal
to do before we could go seriously to work;
it took some time to get the material to
work with. ...... .......
He contended that the great idea OF the
Pilgrims was that they had cut themselves
loose from the government of despotlsm
and come to a country where they laid the
foundations of free soclety-where man
owned the land which he cultivated, and
cultivated the land which he owned they
called no man master, and feared God and
no one else; and that little piece of paper
drawn upin the cabin of the Maydower is
the great seminal principle, which now
manifests itself in the constitution Of our
government. The people of the south,
with different peryadrng idea, have made
war against our free aud independent in
stitutions, and it is left tor us to sustain
them.
Judge Colamer, after speaking at somt
length, closed with a patriotic appeal Il
the young men to come forward and hell
the army follow up its recent glorious vic
tories and thus have speedy termination
| of the war
AT the conclusion of his remarks, 81,

The Chattanooga correspondent OF the
Louisville Journal gives the following ao-
count of the storming and carrying the
nights Of Tunnel Hill by our troops on
the 25th ult fisherman, on the left, sklr-
mished continually, but lightly, all the
forenoon, sheling the enemy's stronghold
on Tunnel Hill. Col LOOMS brigade Of
Gen Ewing's division was advanced from
the railroad through the forest 10 the foot
OF Tunnel Hill. This fighting was severe,
and the brigade moving steadily forward
through depicting fire, lost heavily
The work assigned was completed by one
o'clock, and Gen Matthias brigade OF
Gen John L Smiths division was sent to
support Col Looms, who prepared TO
storm the nights. The ACTIVITY is steep
and the altitude great, About 2 o'clock
the brigade swept boldly up the slope,
through heavy fire from the batteries,
until they reached the crest, when the line
halted and was reinforced by Longs brig
ade. The dash at the battery, though a
brilliant one, was met by sweeping tre
of musketry, that tore through the line
with terrible effect. The men recolled,
returned again, and were again unsuocess-
full, when the whole line retired to the
earthworks from which they sailed
About o'clock, Gen Hooker, who had
been ordered from Lookout Mountain to
RoSsville, was reported moving down the
ridge. and an assault was again ordered.
AT a signal agreed on Wood and Sheridan
charged simultaneously, carried the first
line of earthworks, and, supported by
Baird, pushed boldly forward toward the
summit. The spectacle viewed from Fort
Wood was a most thrilling one. The as
sault cost us dearly, but the line never
slackened its pace, nor staggered before
the fire that greeted it FlanSed by
Hooker, and beaten By the assailants IN
front, the rebels attempted to escape. We
pushed forward, Hooker closed in the
works were scaled, and the fruits of the
victory are fifteen hundred prisoners and
at least twenty-five pieces of artillery
Our camp fires are blazing along the crest
OF the whole ridge, distance OF eight
miles,
Another dispatch thus speaks of the in
domitable pluck displayed by Hooker,
command: "They acted under no orders
from superior officers, but, after takin!
Missionary Ridge, swept on in one resist,
less wave of attack. The ground they
crossed was en6laded on both right AMI
left, and they were subject also to heav,
FIRE in front. So precipltous was tn
ground that some of the men had to throw
down their muskets IN order to climb up
but they still went ahead, and in som
cases absolutely plunged into the rebe
rife pits and attacked the enemy wit
their fists. Bragg and Breckenridge hs
regarded this position as so secure tina
they had selected it as their headquarters
and when our impetuous assaulters cam
up they narrowly escaped capture"
