that this could not be done by selling

rhn sl,nnlLon In Tennessee.

Bragg has undoubtedly fed from
Bridgeport. Aparty Of our cavalry visited
the place a few days ago, and found on
ly a few struggling rebels who looked as
forlorn as cranes on a sand-bar. The
rebel army had flown from the sacred
soil Of Tennessee, and is now very
likely, where We reported 1t yesterday,
at Atlantis, frightfolly melted down by
assertions. There is then, no Confeder-
ate army in West, nor in Middle Ten
neszee, and we .pEesume but a handful
in East Tennessee, inasmuch as the
pressing necessities of the hour would
not allow a large rebel force TO be idle in
that section. Why not throw troops IN
there and hold that strong point perma-
nentlyP If the Government were to
possess that natural military country,
which extends to the Northern border OF
the outer tier Of Confederate States,
Tennessee would be ours permanently.
Unless the Government sees some OBJ
stacle greater than We do, we trust that
it will shortly pull down every rebel
flag in East Tennessee, and hoist in its
stead the Stars and Stripes. An order
to the East Tennessee soldiers TO march
thither would be received by them with
rapture. 1t is the object Of their daily
entreaties and their nightly prayers.
But we want TO see no backward steps
taken, and therefore we hope that no step
will be taken until things are ready
When we advance this time, let 1t be
with the determination that no backward
movement shall be made. We have had
enough Of this already, and our cause
. has suffered for il. The country must
be thoroughly purged of the presence of
active and malignant traitors also. No
leaders or desperadOes must be suffered
to stake the oath" and remain at home to
become a leader of bandits and assassins
again at the first opportunity. If such
cOundrels as these are passed over 80
lightly, our long oxiled loyal citizens
will return home only to be waylaid and
assassinated. We have been taught by
sad experience to distrust a sleeping
wolf" and hope that no error so grievous
will be committed by our authorities.
a great work now lies before the loyal
citizens of Tennessee, and honesty and
energy viii bring it toa glorious termin-
alton. Tennessee has been desolated by
the ravages of war, but if her people will
remove the great curse of slavery from
her borders, a tide of immigration
from her sister States will speedily adj
vance her to a prosperity far more splen.
did and permanent than che ever enjoyed
before.

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF PRIsoNRRs.-
Among the most d~isgracefdl and brutal
acts of John Morgan's band of horse
thieves and robbers, vas the treatment
of the gallant and brave heroes of the
TweRtieth Kentucky, after they had
surrendered. In retreaiing from Leba-
non the prisoners were forced TO march
on double quick to Springfield, a distance
Of nine miles, and were not even allowed
10 hold 10 the tails of tho horses TO keep
from falling exhausted in the road. Jo-
seph Slaughter, or Salter, an orderly
sergeant, and a resident of Harrodsburg,
tainted on the road from exhaustion, and
the fends deliberately knocked the poor
fellow in the head, killing him instantly.
They then rolled him over in a branch.
where be remained until picked up by
some negroes and buried. The next day
his body was takenup by HE own fellow
soldiers and sent home
Another poor fellow, whose name we
did not learn, fell in the road and was
run over by a wagon, the wheel passing
over his head, injuring him seriously.
Samuel Ferguson died after arriving at
Springfield from exhaustion.
While on the way Lieut. Hammer, of
the Sixteenth Kentucky, asked permits
siOno OF N Of the guards 10 let him get
up behind him, which the guard reluc-
family granted. But soon an officer rode
by and made Lient. Hammer get down,
end afterwards kicked him in the back
several times.
More such instances of brutality COM
mitted by these murderers and highway
men towards the prisoners could be- mem
toned Were it necessary.
All the prisoners were robbed of their
money aud clothing, and In fact every
thing valuable they had. The boys had
Just been paid of, and some Of the Off .
cers had as much 50 five or six hundred
dollars, all of which was stolen from
them.-Central ReptucLian. 9kh.

The late miserable failure of General
Sterling Price in his attack on General
Prentiss at Helena, will probably close
the military career of that rebel leader.
His campaigns have been a succession Of
blunders and disasters. He attacked
Gen. Prentiss with a force more than
half as large again, and reiterated after
being repulsed at all points, losing from
600 TO 600 killed and wounded, and 1000
prisoners, while Prentiss' loss was only
60. Price has been pulled %extrayagantly

Rebel ssChIvnIry'' toward Ladies,
Twelve ladies were captured with our
forces at Winchester. They were the
wives Of officers; were regarded as pris-
oners of war, and have been subjected to
the most cruel treatment AT Winches-
Ger they were confined by the rebels in
a small fort pronisTiously Vih other pris-
msTs and on being released were iurn-
ished with wTetched accommodations for
transit to Richmond, several ladies being
obliged 10 Wak 20 or 80 miles. 40 every
place they wcre hooted at, insuAed and uni
versAlly locked upon as Yankee curiosi-
ties. On arriving at Richmond they
were closely imprisoned and treated as
most Of our prisoners have been before
them.
This fact is a pointed commentary on
the %pretentions OF the cavaliers" TO an
exalted humanity and courtesy. What
else could be expected from an army
which is fighting to found a C~onfederacy
whose citizens may have the power to
sell wives from their husbands, or whip
grown up women on their bare backs, or
sell their own sons and daughters into
slavery? Rotten fruit will grow on a
diseased tree.
