Oh, say, copperheads, have you
heard from Maine. Read the following
and see the hugely increased majority
against the Democracy" over last
year-only 1856 in 1877 towns. This
is glorious. Aren't you about satisfied
that your peace. alta ny-price doctrine
don't pay. Hadn't you better change
your tactics if you expect to get any
body to vote for your candidate for
President next fall. Look at the list !:
Vermont, California, and Delaware

for the Administrator and the Union,
within the past few days, and now
Maine now adds her name TO the mum.

HThe news from the Army

~ The news from the Army of
the Potomac is again becoming inter
esting. The I'd Army Corps has ad-
vanced to and occupied Culpepper,
which, until recently, was Lees head
quarters, and Pleasanton's cavalry has
occupied position three miles beyond
Culpepper. Thus-is the fact fully es-
tablished that the rebels have with
drawn from the region between the
Rappahannock and the Rapidan. 1t
is probably true also, as announced,
that a considerable portion of Lees
army has been sent South, thus disre-
garding the appeal Of the Richmond
Enquirer for another northward raid
to give aid and comfort to the Demo
cratic party of the loyal States, prepar-
atory to the assembling Of Congress
and the next Presidential campaign.

MOVEMENT UPON TExAs.-The New
Bedford Mercury says it has the best
of reasons for expressing the belief
that before this combined attack by
our forces has been made in the vicini-
ty of Sabine Pass, upon Texas. Some
of Grants troops have been acting in
concert with the fleet, and tie prepare
tons have been of such a character as
to make success certain. The Govern
ment appreciates the Importance of
the occupation of Texas at once, be-
fore Louis Napoleon gets foothold
there ; and the movement is with this
design. Ola

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
KNOXVILLE, September 6,
VIA CuMBEBLAND GAP, Sept. 10, 1868. !
The great campaign of the war is
over. We are in full possession of
East Tennessee after great bloodless
victory. The campaign was skilfully
planned and energetically executed.
Such was the rapidity Of our movements
that the rebels were taken unawares,
and fled before us without destroying
the property at Loudon.
They attempted to build the bridge,
but the impetuosity of the I'd Tennes-
see regiment broke them to fragments.
Three steamboats,, three locomotives
and a large number of cars were cap
tured there.
The whole march of our army was a
perfect ovation, and our entry into
Knoxville, an event long TO be remem
bered.
Thousands of people of every age,
sex, color and condition lined the way,
with shouts and tears intermingled
with martial music, and JOY reigned
supreme.
Burnside addressed the soldiers and
people, assuring them of protection
and while justice should be dealt, re-
venge was no part of the policy of the
Government.
Gen. Carter also spoke in touching
terms of their Suffering, and announced
its termination.
Col. Saunders was called out amid
shouts of welcome.
Col. Gilbert is appointed Military
Governor, and Gen. Carter Provost
Marshal General of East Tennessee.
Our right wing is in easy reach O
Rosecrans' left. The rebels regarded
our expedition as only raid until The
last moment.
The march of two hundred and fifty
miles was hard one, but in good or
der. Our trains all came up in gooc
shape.

The Greek Fire.

The Greek fire shell i'm use at Charles
ton is, we learn, the invention, patented
a few months since, of citizen of Buf.
falo, and adopted by the Government.
The base of the terrible agent is petro-
leum, chemically combined with other
highly infammable ingredients, the
whole forming an utterly extinguisha-
BILE compound, which, once ignited,
burns triumphant over all ordinary
means of quenching fire, burns even
in water, and can only be put out by
being burnt out. This fearful war
agent is contained in light metallic
chamber, enclosed in common form
of a percussion shell, that, itself dis
charged by striking the object aimed
at, ignites the fire, which is scattered
broadcast, its fierce flames giving new
terror to the perils of war. 1t is the
right sort of stuff to send into the hot
bed of treason, to compel return of
the cage of Reason"
THE REBELS STARTLED.
The Richmond Ecdmiraer says that
the throwing of these shells into e the
inhabited part of the city," wasan evil
dence of baseness," and then says !:
"BM phat does startle us is the dis
lance from aohich the shells are Mroso,s.
THE battery IS in q marsh .foe miles
from the city. 1t has long. been claim
ed by the inventors of the modern ord
nance that the new artillery was avail
able for such purposes at that distance.
But this is the first practical test of
their pretension on record, and neces-
sarily attracts much attention. Not a
doubt now remains that the spirit of
Charleston is about to be tried in the
terrible ordeal of bombardment."

During the late movements no officer in the

Gen. Stewart, though not widely, is we'll
known, among intelligent army circles. He
commanded brigade at Shiloh, PerryviIle sud
Aurfreesboro', with something more than or
binary distinction. for he added to courage q
high genius for command. BY his akiIl and
valor he won the respect of those who are
competent to judge the merits of on officer,
and the regard of those who always know, by
kindred feeling, the merits of a soldier
native OF Winchester, in Franklin county,
Tennessee, he entered West Point Military
Academy at an early age, AID grad ua cd in The
Class which has given seyisrsl distinguished
names to the present period. Among these
was Kosecrans. The two little thought at
that time that they would enc day be arrayed
against one snotEs on the same field in NOR

young soldiers, who left the army about the
same time, the one to HIS r,tiye Ohio, and the
other to Professorhip in Cum berlancl Unver-
sIty, Lebanon, Tenn, are bet abatracis add
brief chronicles of many another history OF
this great struggle. Before his entry to the
chair mathematics of Cumberland University,
Stewart had held a similar assistant position at
west Point. Until the beginning OF the revo-
Iuhon-with one or two brief nterims-he re.
mainod at Lebanon, respected 10y all aB an able
