FROM TENNESSEE

An official despatch from Gen. Wheel
er dated Missionary Ridge, Wednesday,
Oct. IA, shows that he has been doing
good rvice in the enemy's rear He
crossed the river in the face of division
of the enemy at Cotton Port ford, Oh the
Both of Sept, and proceeded in the di-
rection OF McMinnville, where, after a
sharp fight, he captured large train
and TOO prisoners. The train consisted
of Z or 500 wagons loaded with ammu-
milton and stores which he burned. He
then attacked McMinnyille AMI eaptur
ed $50 prisoners, and another large train
commissary stores, arms, am.
munition, clothing, etc., and destroyed
the bridge over Hickory Creek, togeth-
er with a train of cars. He DESTROYED
the bridge over Stone river, and train
of cars at Wartrace. He then moved to
Shelbyville, where he captured a large
amount of stores and burned them
This is a severe blow to Rosencrans,
whose men have been OH short rations
for some DAYS.

rHs YANKEE GENERAL THOMAS.

We stated last week, on the authority
OF The Petersburg Express, that this gem
tlenan, il Rosencran's army, who SO
distinguished himself at Chickamauga,
WIS a native Of Southampton county,
Va. 4 lady who resides at ] r..salanl,
the county seat OF Southanptqil, ar6ornas
the "spisits Of the Age, that Thenlas
distinguished himself in the war with
Mexico, and on his return home was pie
sented by the ladies of his native coun-.
ty with handsome ord. After the
beginning of the present war, when
Thomas Rad determined to array him
self against the South, he wrote to his
sister to send him that sword. THE true
hearted, patriotic woman replied, that he
could not hare a sword presented by the
women of Virginia, TO turn against their
brave fathers, sons, and brothers, who
were fighting in defence Of the land
whose birth place he had disgraced.-
And that instead Of sending the sword
to him she would prefer to see it thrust
through his traitorous heart.

times, when people are enduring man hardships
not from any criminal acts Of their ow n but from
causes which lie wholly beyond their control, il
becomes the moral duty ofsevery good citizen
who possesses the means, to show the full meas
ure of his philanthropy and patriotism. On the
other hand no hardships that can be endured con-
stitute sufficient guarantee for disturbing So
cia order, or for violating the rights OF proper
ty. Every act of the kind will produce incalcu-
liable mischief, and whilst bad men might for
time profit by such disturbances, all classes must
eventually suffer the penalty Of the in traction OF
"a law founded in strict and absolute Justice
Let all rejecting, law -abiding citizens, therefore,
Especially in our towns and cities, beware lest
their mere sentiments of benevolence may lead
them to give countenance to that which is nei-
ther founded in justice, in a charity based upon
right reason nor in expediency, even for the ae-
accomplishment of that which they desire.

THE VIRGINIA SALT WORKS.

The Lynchburg Virginian says the
public need feel no alarm on account of
the rumors of raids on the Salt Works
in Southwestern Virginia, as they are
defended by strong force with ample
achievements within easy reach. ssBe-
sides, the place is we'll fortified by case
mates, field works, and rifle pits. 1t is
also naturally very strong, beng sur
rounded by Gordon of high hills and
mountains, upon which commanding po-
sitions can be taken. The approaches
to the Salt basin are through narrow de-
files and passes, where the advantages
OF defence are incalculable. No fears
need be felt,for the safety of that impor-
tant point except from al advance of
the enemy in force"

FROM CHARI.ESTfNN.

The situation of affairs at Charleston
appear to be unchanged since our last
Issue. The booming of an occasional
gun from our yigilant and untiring SEN
tinels alone breaks file stiffness, and pro,
claims that the foe is silently but I'M
ceasingly laborings on the construction
OF works, which, when completed, will
be OF the most formidable character
Besides batteries Wagner and Gregg,
i've other works are reported erected on
Morris Island. The Charleston Mercn-
ry says the Yankees may now be looked
upon as permanent instltution.0 at
least SO far. as any efforts on our part to
them from that stronghold,
Morris Island are concerned. It saws
however, thatstormy times may belook-
ed for soon.

The effect of persistent reading of fiction or
any kind of light reading to the entire exclusion
of those studies requiring the necessary amount
of close and laborious exertion of the mind to
be understood, will as assuredly prevent all real
Intellectual development as that any effect fol-
lows from it's cause.
1t may possibly, sometimes, give us little
quicker insight into human nature, and the hid
den motives by which it is actuated, but will
just as often. in order to account for a given
course Of action, lead us to exagerate motives
which really exist, and to invent those which do
not exist. If we should even reject fiction alto
gether, and devote ourselves to such studies as
would give US simply information, facts, know
be simply as children with good memories, with
a great store of useful information, without the
power of arrangement and classification, or of a
proper application Of the truths from the want of
perception of the philosophy of these facts. of
their relationships inter Sc, or of their adoption
to each other. Thus there are many who learn
the facts Of history, but know nothing of the
philosophy of history, of the logic of euents and
think themselves competent historians when
design of historical study.
But in the persistent and exclusive devotion
to works Of fiction, we derive neither facts nor
philosophy, but spend any amount of va'-
time, whilst the mind from q bah, -luao'e

1t becomes tbs part Of the man of genius, wheth
er in poetry, panting, sculpture or fiction, to

concrete form, so as to express the spiritual idea

Such is the province of the man q genins: how

of our nature rise to the accomplishment of such

LATEST NORTHERN NEW s. REMOVAL
OF ROSENCRANS.

Northern papers OF the 23d, received
at Richmond, contain the important an
nouncement that Rosencrans has been
removed from command in the West,
and is succeeded by Gen. Thomas. The
cause assigned by the papers for his re-
moval, is the charge by Generals Nc
Cook and Crittenden that he fed from
the field in the crisis of the battle, and
reported all as lost, and then took opin-
ion to render him insensible There
were also rumors of Gen. Meade's re-
noval and Commodore Dalghren has
been relieved from command at Charles

Tue KANAWHA VALLEY.

The Lynchburg Republican learns
that there are now but a very small
number Of Yankees in the Kanawha
Valley, Gen. Scammon, the commander
having gone with the larger portion to
Tennessee, eilherto reinforce Burnside
or Rosencranz The force now in the val
ley consists of four infantry regiments
and one battery, with no cavalry. A
little dash and enterprise On the part of
our forces into the Valley, would, we
are confident, clear it of the enemy.

FROM GEN. LEE.

Up to this time, Monday affairs re-
main perfectly quiet in Gen. Lee s army,
and we think are very likely to co1ffin-
ne so for some time to come. Cavalry
skirmishes, but lately so frequent, have
nearly altogether ceased. The campaign
appears to have closed, and the two ar
mics occupy low nearly the same ground
that they did at this time two years ago.
Meade is safely and smlgly ensconced
in his hoes at Manassas ard Centreville,
positions of such strength, that the sac
rifce of life in taking them by assault,
would not have been repaired by any
solid advantages which would have re-
suited from their capture The Yankees
are too badly frightened to make any
offensive demonstrations, and for GEM,
Lee to do so, while they remain within
their strong works, would be produc-
tive of no beneficial results Owing TO-
the feetness of the enemy in their re-
treat the captures made by our forces
were but small. amounting in the az
