Left Her Child.

On Thursday evening last, n young
woman, with a babe in her arms, was
noticed in the sitting room OF the de-
pot. She asked several questions about
the starting Of trains, and at what
hours she could leave. The next nor
ming she called in at a house on west
Main street and asked the privilege ct
leaving her child until she would go
to the station for u bundle oi some
kind she had left there. The lady of
the house suspected all was not right.
and refused. She then went 20 a house
on New Garden street and made the
same request, and told the same story
At first she also refused, but afterwards
the family agreed TO keep the babe
until she wUnld return. A little boy
accompanied her to the station, 10
help her carry her baggage. They
got there just as tho mail train came
in from the west, and on its starting
out, the unnatural mother jumped
aboard. and left the boy to carry moth
ing home but the news Of her fight.
The oaild, q very fms looking boy,
was given over into the hands of the
trustees, and what disposition they
have made of il, we know not. Who
the mother was, and where she went,
nobody knows.-Salem Republican

From Sherman
RurFAIo. Nov

BUFFALO, Nov. 20.
Brigadier General Barry, Chief Of
Artillery of Major General Sherman'f
army, arrived here yesterday, seri.
ously i'll from an attack of erysipe-
las.
He left General Sherman at nine
o'clock OF the morning of the 18th,
at Kingston, Georgia.
General Barry says General Sher-
man has every infantry, cavalry and
artillery soldier that he wants.
The men have all received eight
months pay. Their outfit has been
especially adapted to the hardest
winter campaign, and the morale of
the troops is excellent. The genius
and vigor of sherman will carry the
army triumphantly through what it
has to perform.
On Monday night last, Hoods entire
force, inclu dug Forests cavalry, were
in the vicinity of Tuscumbia and
Florence, Alabama, watched by q
body of troops under command Of Gen.
eral Thomas, in such strength as will
render the invasion of Tennessee an
impossibility, and even the withdrawal
of Hood, for service elsewhere, an
operation of extreme delicacy.

Oh. Dear!

The meek, modest inoffensive, prim
and precise editor of that marvelOusly
pious sheet, the Warren Constitution
bad his very sensitive ceilings terribly
shocked on election day. He AYERS
that he actully saw a minister of the
gospel marching in a procession OF
Union men, and have the audaCity to
come up to the polls and plump in
a vote for "Abe and Andy" Incor-
rigable minister's has not the great
oracle Of Trumbull County Copper
headism prescribed your routine OF
duties, spiritually and secularly!
Have you not been informed that
your discourses should W. range
beyond the most ordinary "stock
phrases" of the pulpit, and that your
appearance In public, at other times,
should be restricted TO funerals?
Why Will you worry the fellowf

being informed that q minister has
10 rights which q copperhead is
hound to, or does, respect, you pre-
.umptuously ignore their right to dis
franchise you, and on election days
nix up politics with religion by voting
The lifeless aseetism of the middle
ages is the base level to which the
puny, ~withered, soulless demagogues,
protesting Democracy, would sink the
enlightened, noble, and fearless Chris
tain minister of this day. They
find, however, that denunciation and
Misrepresentation can not deter this
worthy class of men from per-
forming their duty as patriots.
Hence the base attempts of copper
head editors to prejudice their readers
against ministers. The motive is ap-
preciated, and the trick will not win.

According to accounts from the

objections to the question of Rome,
Italy, France, Russia, and Prussia are

Emperor Napoleon calculates on
the adhesion of Italy and King Leo

the clergy and those who participa ted
in them were doing q disgraceful act.
In fact he intimates that sJms of them
have performed nO-higher workship
during the campaign and says that
one clergyman "debased himself and

Now Mr.. Editor of the Constitution,
you are making serious charges.
The fact that one, or all Of the
clergy of Warren saw fit to proceed

professions cheers SO loudly for the

system, does not by any manner of
means warrant or justify you in
making such unprovoked,. wanton
and contemplate newspaper attacks

If the church and clergy Of War

upon their conduct in this or any
other regard, it would Seem a little

the Knoxville garrison and another division
could march to its relief in twenty four hours.
The river between Chattanooga and Loudon
IS low. and boats are stuck often. The dis
tance between Chattanooga and Knoxville has

The railroad will be il running order in a few

Chattanooga and Knoxville. The only serious
break will be the tunnel bridge at Loudon Of
the length of 700 teet 1t will be built in 80
days.
Slight skirmishes take place in the vicinity
Of Knoxville daily.
Knoxville eligibility as military post Of
defence is great It's forts are second only to
those of Murfreesboro in strength and finish.
Cen. Sherman commands at Loudon.
Chattanooga and its approaches are exten-
siyely fortified. No force can attempt flank
movement without inviting immediate rain.
The reports of the evacuation of Dalton.
Ringgold and Tunnel Hill are errors, which
arose from the fact that the flag. of-truce es-
cort, under Colonel Burke, took the wrong
road, and passed completely around the two
latter places. Although it is said that Burke
went to Dalton, he says he did not, but claims
to have gone within mile and a half Of
Dalton.
Some of Johnston's forces, however, have
been sent away. Nearly all the Tennessee bri
gades, and at least two. thirds Of the Kentucky
regiments, have been sent south under Cheath-
am, ostensibly to assist in holding Mobile and
act under Gen. Polk at Demopols.
Cleburne commands at Tunnel Hill. Most
of the Confederate army is at Dalton, with
Johnston headquarters at Atlanta. Hardee
has gone to Alabama About three divisions
have left Johnston
