Of the the 20th says:
Last Fsidsy our cavalry, under General
Sturges, advanced in the direction Of
Danb ridge, forty miles from Knoxville.
Saturday morning we drove the enemy's
Videttes out Of the village. A portion of
our infantry, under General Parks, also
moved up, but learning that the enemy
was in full force beyond cambridge, fell
back 10 their former position.
Sunday morning the enemy seeing that
We had drawn our cavalry as far as pos
sible, made desperate attack on our lines
with Hoods and Bushrod Johnson's divis-
ions, led by HsmptOn's cavalry.
Observing their desperate determine
ton, Sturges ordered General McCook,
commanding a division Of cavalry, to
charge the enemy. This charge turned the
fortune Of the day, which up to this time
had been decidedly against us. Our total
loss is about $50.
On Sunday night our forces anticipating
q flank movement, fell back to Strawberry
Plains, lG miles from Knexville.
On the 10th, Sturges fell back to Knox
vile, and the same evening crossed the
Holster river with the view Of intercept
ing the enemy at Liverville.
Gordon Grsnger's troops on the Goth
were moving in the same direction, where
battle is pending.

The New York News enters q long edi-
torisl account for the South and contends
that the Wsilings that have come up from
Richmond, Raleigh and the Confederacy
generally, are no evidence of the
"despair Of the South" It accounts for
the severe denuncistion Of the rebel Gov
ernment by the rebel press as follows:
ait is the energy and determined action
Of the Confederate authorities that have
given the complaining editors their cue.
Decisive and strong measures on the part
Of Q government will always intensity the
snisgonisn Of its opponents, in the same
ratio that they encourage and increase the
support Of It's adherents. There never
was an administration, not even that of
the pure and patriotic Washington, that
had not its assailsnts 60 in the COnfed-
ersey, the Administration Of Jefferson
Davis is subject to this inevitable rule"
Such is q COpperhead defense Of JEFF.
Davis, Itis certainly a strong indication
of the continued fidelity Of Northern De-
nocraey to their Southern masters; but
the inquiry might be pertinent whether
ths sdenuncistions of Lincoln's Administra-
tion might not be answered in the same
way; and whether such an apology for Mr..
Lincoln would not be as patriotic as that Of
the News for JET. Davis is treaoherOus2
The prospect Is that the President Of the
rebels will soon have no defenders except
the Northern Coppsrheads, who are likelE

ing gratitude.

The London correspondent Of the Irish
Times writes "There are some whispers
that the private life of the Emperor Of the
French is not ct the present time the hap
piest Il may be that the Insurance Of
the Emperor's life in the London Offices
for large sum is the foundation Of the
rumor; but another bit Of gossip also
lends strength to the report. It may be
not altogether forgotten that before the
Enperor's marriage, he had held for many
years intimate relations with q Mrs. Hew-
ard, BY whom he had two children. When
the Enperor married, the lady was hand
somsly provided for and sent to England,
where before long she was married. The
marriage did not turn out happy one,
and Mrs. Howard returned to Paris. There
IL no doubt that this lady had the ehsrac-
ter Of being very clever, and Of advising
Louis Napoleon at the desperate crisis in
his fate In such a manner as, when acted
on, led ultimately to his elevation to the
French throne Not long since it was an .
nouneed that the the Emperor was in the
habit Of leaving CompsigDe late at night
BY special train, and appearing in Paris;
It now appears that Mrs. Howard is the at
traction, and that after the lapse Of years
she has resumed her sway over Louis Ma
poleon's mind, and is once more his cOun-
cOlor-in-chief. Hence, perhaps, the whis.
pers Of the hour take their rise.

Reconsrructioz Movements in Arknnsus
and Tennessee.

The State Constitutional Convention in
Arkansas, which convened on the 9Th in
slant, WAS one Of the largest and most in
telligent and influential political bodies
ever known in that State. An article pro-
hibiing slavery was adopted with but one
dissenting vote. The constitution is 10 be
submitted to the people on the second
Monday in March, st which the State off,
GERS and members Of the legislature will be
chosen. The legislature is to meet on the
third Monday in April The action Of the
convention was universally Satisfactory 10
the loyal men. The qualification Of voters
is that prescribed by the President in his
proclamation. II is believed that the 10y
al citizens will be able to poll twenty thou
sand votes for the constitution. The con-
vention will recommend q suitable person
for provisional governor.
In Tennessee the reconstruction move
nent is making good progress. At mass
meeting held At Nashville on the 2lst, re-
solutions were passed denOuncing slavery
as an evil in itself, and as the cause Of the
rebellion. advising The reconstruction Of
the state government by q constitutional
convention. composed Of delegates pledged
to immediate and universal emancipation.
The resolution commended the integrity
and fidelity Of Governor johnson, and re-
quest him to call such convention. A
committee was appointed to select delegst-
es to the Southern Free States Convention
In Louisville.
At the same meeting Governor johnson
made a speech in which he said that grad
usl emancipation was prepOstures, for it
proposed 10 fit the slave for freedom by
prolonging his slavery. There must be no
compromise with traitors till treason goes
down. Perhaps to-day is the Christening
Of the nation for cur great national sin.
Slavery is in our way-let truth triumph,
justice prevail and slavery go down.
