England had done her duty by remonstrance,

significantly enthusiastic.
Mr.. Villiers, prominent supporter Of the

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 20.-The rebel author
tiles are faithfully executing their promise to
give the prisoners in their hands every thing
that the government has forwarded to Rich
mond to that end. The rebel authorities al
lege that Gen, Dow has violated the obliga-
tons under which he was selected to dstri-
butte the supplies in question. Gen. Wnder
has therefore taken that duty from HIM.
Gen. Winder complains that Cen Dow busted
himself with investigating the management OF
the rebel cOmtnissariat there, with arting
false reports concerning it, and with becom-
ing the Surrepttious bearer OF Il letter from
the island. These allegations Gen. Dow de-
mics with great emphasis, and states thatsghat
he learned concerning the rebel commissariat
on the island, he could not avoid hearing, as it
was uttered by our prisoners in loud tones of
complaint, in the presence of rebel officers,
&c. Gen. Winder has substituted Il board of
Union officers, consisting of Colonel A. Van
Schwader, inspector general of our l4th army
corps, Colonel l.. ii. Cesnola, of the 4th New
York cavalry, and Lieut. Colonel j. L. Boyd,
quartermaser to our 10Th army corps, to make
the distributions in question. and says, that so
large is the quantity OF such things being re-
ceived, that he must appoint other Snch boards
to- aid that named above.
Our hospital department here, acting sur
geon Gen. Barnes, has come forward to add

ment. The rebel authorities will not permit

Since the Union army has token possession
OF East Tennessee, many very worthy Union
men have been cruelty murdered by the viii
famous rebels in arms, assisted by perjured
citizens who had come forward and
taken the oath. Murder, treason, rob-
berry, intamy and ruin are the order
of the day in the counties above and
below Knoxville. In the upper counties
they have shot down and otherwise muir
dered unotfending men, neither respecting age
nor inhrmities, and the soldiers turning out in
bands of marauders, have robbed families of
all in their houses and farms, and where they
were unable to carry off all they found, the
tnevlng villains have destroyed it, burning
private property and destroying all before
them. They have within a few weeks past

some of the most atrocious murders ever

his house in Blount, and shot him down in the

helpless family Of nine dependent upon his Ia

that he was Lincolnite. They cruelty MUIR
dered Rev. Levi Carter and one OF his sons in
Bradley, and the charge was that he was
Lincolnite Methodist preacher. They cut
the throat of the Rev. Mr.. Blair of Hamilton
county, a Baptist preacher, in the presence of
his family, and his offence was that he was
Union man. They murdered L. Carter in
Bradley county in like manner, as ref
ugees from that quarter report to
us. They are said to have murdered two
of the Barsons in Monroe county, for no pro-
vocation whatever. They murdered Rev.
Hiram Douglas of the Presbyterian church,
under circumstances that would disgrace an
Algerian mob. They shot down il man by
the name of COZart tor no other otfcnse than
that he was a Union man, and these are only
items in the long list Of wrongs and cruelties
daily perpetrated by a set of Scoundrels act

to the nation. They have had and still have
in the hills and mountains OF LEVER county,
four hundred Cherokee Indians under the
command of that prince Of marauders and

MEETING OF THE WESTERN RAILROAD
CoRPoRATIoN.-Ata special meeting of this
corporation in Boston, on the 18th, it was
unanimously voted that the officers of the
corporation be directed to petition the legis-
lature for an act to consolidate the Western
and the Boston and Worcester railroad cor
porations, and that they cooperate with the
committee appointed February It'll, 1868, in
procuring all necessary legislation for said
union; also that the consideration of the terms
OF the union be postponed until after such act
shall have been passed by the legislature.
Hon. James Savage briefly favored the union
of the two roads. Hon. Amasa Walker, of
North Brookfeld, thought the consolidation
OF the roads would be one of the most impor-
tant measures for promoting the interests of
Boston and of the whole country that could
be adopted.

Its Probable Duration.

1t takes bold man, in these times of rapid
changes, to risk his reputation on prophecies.
Results depend so much on contingencies be-
yond all human foresight, that The best calcU-
lations prave fallaci0us. The combinations
of opponents, well as our own, are elements
to be considered in forming any right judg-
ment of the future; and the knowle ledge of
their combinations is rarely available at the
time It would be of most account Nothing,
however, is more probable than that the COM
ing year will see the military power of the
rebellion essentially overthrown. Every well
informed person knows at what cost and sac
rifce, and upon what constantly diminishing
resources, the rebellion has thus far main
tanned itself. In all its great military plans
it has been disappointed. In all its schemes
to buAd up a financial system equal to its
great necessities, it has been disappointed.
In all its seductive appeals for foreign en-
couragement and support, it has been disap-
pointed. Its territorial extent has gradually
diminished. Its currency is the great joke of
the nineteenth century. Its cause in Europe
has become so contemplate, that, with all its
preliminary fiourishing of trumpets, there is
not a representative voice left to speak in its
praise Even Louis Napoleon, in his address
to the Corps Legishtif, wthholds their ex-
pected crumb of comfort, and leaves
their resilient dplomatists shivering in the
wind Suppose, then, that, on the first
OF January next, new army Of three
hundred thousand soldiers is ready to
be put into the feld,-an army of bona .fds
soldiers, not of names OIL paper, which one
town or another has succeeded in getting ac-
credited to its share,-but an army of live,
strong, and resolute men, not enlisted for any
limited period, but for the war,-is it proba-
Bile that with this evidence of undiminished
strength and mistaken patriotism on the
part of the north there would be mad
ness enough in the southern people

Thirty-siX Yankee deserterS managed to
escape from the, eastern district military pris-
on, on Friday night, by mining under the
northern wall of the castle, into Il private lot
The miners commenced their work several
days since, in the eastern end of tho building
allotted to federal deserters, there being about
six hundred confined in that portion of the
castle. The work was all done near the
north wall, aid the loose dirt concealed under
a lot of tobacco fixtures in the room. The
alley being constantly paced by sentinels, it
was necessary to make a subterranean pas
sage under both the wall and alley, which
was accordingly accomplished, and an outlet
made in private lot encloaed with a high
board fence. Thirty five had managed to es-
cape through this subterranean passage, be-
fore the sentinel discovered it, when he i'm
medlately gave the alarm, and rushing to the
spot, stopped the exodus with his bayonet.
