TENNESSEE TO BE REPossEssED.- The AT
lanta Knoxville Register, thus grows fran
tic over our occupation of East Tennessee
1t is vital to the Confederacy, and Presi
dent DAVIS will abandon Richmond i
necessary in order to repossess East Ten
nessee:
TENNESSEE TO BE REPoSsEsSED.
We stated on former occasion that the
very existence of the Confederate States
and army were dependent upon the reoc.
cupation of Tennessee by Gen. Bragg
Commander in Chief. There is no risk OF
sacrifice, no concentration Of stregnth that
will be spared in the accomplishment OF
the reconquest of Tennessee, The army o.
Virginia will be thrown upon East Ten
nessee. and that Of the Mississippi Valley
upon Roserans' rear, in the direction o.
Murfreesboro. The calm that followed the
storm of Chicamauga is the pressage OF
more terrible events, and the coming shock
of contending armies on the soil of Ten
nessee will be decisive of the fate Of the
Confederation.
If any one doubts the necessity which
would impel President Davis to sacrifice
Richmond, Charleston, and Mobile, all, to
reacquire Eastern Tennessee he need only
ask the Commissary General by what agen-
cies and from what source the armies ofthe
South have been sustained. During the first
year of the war, Eastern Tennessee fur
nished the Confederate States with twenty.
five millions of pounds Of bacon. Last
year the State of Tennessee fed the army.
It is ascertained that the prevalence of hog
cholera through the South has prevented
the production of more meat than the
people require. Our soldiers would hard
~ fight we'll if confined to bread and wa
ter, and it therefore happens snat Inc com,
for the nonce, and his fiat has gone forth
that Tennessee must be redeemed.

NoTEwoRHY.-A parcel OF scamps were ar
rested the other day, charged with treason
able practices, and sent to Cincinnati As
soon as it was known, Ex-senator Geo. w.
Pugh, the man who wouldn't fight the
gentlemen Of African descent, makes his
appearance as the counsellor Of the alleg-
ed traitors George is the same man who
was going to raise 200 600 armed men
to inaugarate Valandigham. He is part OF
the conspiracy, no doubt, and appears anx-
ions to defend them.
AL such such fellows need watching
These Volunteer advocates OF traitors
through all the country should be vigilant-
ly looked after by loyal people. Their ac-
tive parade of service in behalf of villains,
for whom hanging is altogether too mild a
punishment, means that they are them
selves parties with them in the same
crimes. Perhaps they may have avoided
the overt act; but that is simply because
they know how to do that, while their more
ignorant confeder ates plunge in and are
caught. Patriotic lawyers will not be found
volunteering their services to defend trait
ors. They detest them and desire their
punishment as much as other. people do
Let us keep an eye on this class. Perhaps
they may be caught one Of these days.
Who doubts that Pugh merits a rope just
as much as JEFF Davis? - s.-s

Gg> The Richmond rebel papers have
got to discussing the seizure Of the iron.
clad rams, built by the Lairds at Liverpool,
by the English Government. They don't
like it, but, what is more to our purpose,
they do not hesitate about saying they
were constructed for them and intended to
be used against the Union. We wonder If
Earl Russell will require any further
proof? At all events that nobleman will
not feel particularly complimented by the
graciousness OF the terms the rebels apply
to him. If their assurances OF the destina-
ton of the rams would not be good evil
dence in the courts of law, we guess it viii
be quite satisfactory in political circles.

THE WESTERN REsERvE.-At the late
election in Ohio, the vote of the twelve
Counties, composing the western Re-
serve" was for Brough, 5o.lo2; for Vallan-
digham, 1s,els, Brough's majority being
81, 1883, or about half the majority given for
him in the State. Ashtabula county gives
the Convict So votes, and Brough 5,70s.-
Geauga gave the ''exile'' $50; Brough 1851.
That is what we call patriotic voting. The
people in that region understand the issue
and act accordingly. 1t is not so surpris-
ing that the reprobate Butternut leaders
hate the yankees" We don't wonder that
they want to cut the connection. fit We're
not for the New Englanders, we wonder if
the Bntternuts would not themselves be
shivering "out in the cold?'

Ia Confederate surgeon who was beastly
drunk when our forces captured Little
Rock, Arkansas, found himself among the
Yankees when he got sober, and re-
marked that it beat Rip Van Wrinkle
that man couldn't 60 to sleep in Confed-
crate States without waking up in the Uni
ted States.
We never yet knew an avewed rebel
whose mouth was not full of references to
and praises of the laws and Constitution Of
the country.

GOOD FOR BEooKLYN.-Our dispatches
tell US, that the City of Brooklyn has hon
ored itself by electing an unflinching Union
man to the Mayoralty. This is an unex-
pected piece of good, news. To be sure that
city has not been quite so overwhelmingly
nnder Copperhead control as its big neigh.
Dor, New York. But the difference was
not much to brag of. IfColonel Wood, the
Union candidate is elected as reported, it is
Union triumph as valuable as glorious.
We hope it is true; but it is SO unexpected
to us, that we shall wait for its confrma-
ton before we throw our hat clean up out
of sight.

~There appears to be deliberate pur-
pose on the part Of the traitors to starrve
the Union prisoners in their custody.
They refuse to exchange them, and VIII
not supply them with food. This ought to
be stopped. limo other mode can be found
10 make them act something less like say
ages. we suggest that all their officers in our
custody be subject to exactly the same
treatment and Supplied with similar food
and equal quantities as rebels deal out to
Union men. We won't insist on rebel pri-
Yates being served in that way. Impose
il on the officers-the higher the rauk the
better-thai may bring the scoundrels to
their senses. Ifthey starve our men, treat
their officers to the same diet We guess
they won't stand il long.

ag>The county elections in Illinois are
said to show, very generally, large Union
gains on the vote of last year. The peo-
pie, even down in Egypt, have found out
what the Butternut gang of scamps would
do if they had the power, and have evil
denced their adherence Of their infamous
purposes. In Chicago the Union victory
is complete-Cook county.i in which it is To-
Gated, giving about five thousand MAORI

elected "Hove-in Sherman mayor, we
think it has now done remarkably WE'LL

w. Gen. Schotield is said to have caused
the arrest of D. X. Abeel, proprietor of the
st. Joseph Tribune, a reliable and unfiinch-
ing Union paper. What the arrest was
made for is not known. It is said to be
because he is too much Of a Union man
and probably has trod on Gen, Schofeld's
"corns'' in some way. We don't hear of
Schofeld's making arrest of traitors,
though they are as plenty as blackberries
almost anywhere in Missouri! lWell-it is
some comfort to know that he will proba-
bly, be arrested by higher authority one of
these days. His doings will find him out
in the end.

LOUISVILLE. KY, November I'd, 1868.
Dear Rosck-Eye:-We find it rather dry
living down here without the Howk-Eyc
to read. We can get along on half rations
of hard chackers, but not withoutthe news,
and no where can we get it as direct and re-
liable as from the Ruwk-Eye. 1t is mis-
taken idea which some persons entertain,
that soldier feels no interest in anything
outside Of the army. I'll had the talent OF
the old Masters 1 would try and give you
an idea Of camp scene when the mail ar
rives. 1t haste be seen to be appreciated.
We are again under marching orders, we
are to guard large train through to Nash
vile. and will probably see warm times
before we get through, as the train is toe
valuable prize for the rebels to allow to
pass unmolested.
1t seems to an Impractical eye that we
are being hurried into the field before we
are prepared for it. We received our horses
but few days before we left Davenport
and up to this present time have not re.
ceived all of our arms, and have had nc
time hardly for drill, but under the control
of our gallant Col. j. b. Dorr the Sth Caval.
nv will do its duly. If we get through
safely youwill perhaps hear from me again
Yours, &c, j. G. POWER.

rs The Chief of Police of the thriving
village Of Cincinnati imagines he has dis
covered company to destroy it by fire!-
We don't know what truth there may be
in his thought. We TRUST that his suspicion
is no nearer the truth than was that Of the
august Horatio, of New York, who wanted
to convince the world that the servant
girls of Gotham had conspired together to
burn their own sheltering roofs over their
heads! That was shrewd suggestion,
lust as this latest one may be. But II the
suspicion is right, what then? why al
the police have to do, is, as Dogberry would
say, ''to comprehend all vagrom men,"
forthwith and make them prove their inno-
cence of any such "burglarious'' intent
If that isn't enough, let them watch care
fully, and perhaps they may catch the vii
lains if they trv such feat.

lgSome of the prisoners at Camp Doug
las have been making extensive prepare
tons for general evacuation of that, to
them, not desirable abode. They had dug
two extensive tunnels from their barracks
towards the lines, about four feet high by
two and half feet wide, lined & he sides
and tops by boards. One Of then -: zen
completed for about seventy-fve feet. Sus-
picions of some such attempt lead to thor
ough examination and discovery of the
purpose and the means, and the blocking
Of that game for the present. The prison

how to guard prisoners? 81

~ If we could only get at Horatlo Sey-
mour's real thoughts, about these days,
we doubt not they would be found instruc-
tive. He is man Of the world, possessed
of yerv considerable ability and culture
Yet, with all his intelligence, he has, since
he became the.Governor of New York, on
ly succeeded in proving that he is coward,
fool, and traitor. He is coward because
he does not stand by and exercise the in
f1uence of his position in behalf of his
country. A fool, because he mistook the
apparent, success of his faction for popu-
lar sanction Of treason. A traitor, because
he wilfully acts so as to give aid and COM
fort to the enemies of the Republic-to
those who rebel against Democratic in
stitutions and assume for themselves a
right to dictate the action of our people.
The late election in his State has doubt
less opened his eyes to these facts. Indeed
they seem to have been partially opened
before. He seems to have made some eff
forts to convince those who would listen to
him, that his distractions OF the draft, his
encouragement Of the New York riots, his
hailing murderers as his friends, We're
all acts of the purest patriotism, and in
tended to aid the Government! He has
found out that people don't believe him.
What will hurt him worse, he has found
out that his shortcut to the Presidency
has a gulf in it he can neither get over nor
travel round He has cut his own throat
with the rest of the gang. He feels bad
over it, no doubt. But the people every
where rejoice at it.

the receipts at the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue for October were fifty per cent greater
than in September. The entire receipts
since the Bureau went into operation are
stated to be S63,O0O,00O, of which nearly
SIC, 0OO, 900 was received in the last month.
Wethink that is an encouraging showing.
1t proves that we shall be always able to
meet our public Liabilities, and that the
mass of our people are prepared to pay the
cost of maintaining the Union. In fact
most people are just beginning to compre-
bend how rich our country really is.
1t is said that the estate of Camden &
Amboy,' commonly called New Jersey
has been carried by the Democracy
We think it highly probable, but the fact
does not amount to much. They are voting
the democratic ticket there on the same
principle that the people in some sections
&, Pennsylvania are said to still vote for
Jackson. They have not found out that
Democracy is defunct-and being genuine
Democrats mostly, they keep on voting the
ticket bearing the old label. But they are
learning, lift be slowly. They will wake
ND ond of these days, fully conscious of the
deceit practiced upon them-and then, woe
be to the Butternut Leaders who have
practiced upon their confidence.
