InsOIeni Rebels in Knoxville.

There are more insolent, out-spoken, and
vindictivc traitors, male and female, in
Knoxville, than any other town of equal
population in any insmreetionary State
The men are insolont, bold and defiant, and
talk Of possessing the place. They hold
their confabs on the streets in the stores
and arc in constant communication with
robols outside Of our lines. Many of them
have taken tho amnesty oath, as means Of
saving their property, and Of concoaling
their infamous purposes The women, as Il
general thing, are moro bold, insoIont, and
actire than the men. They clap thoir hands
and thank God upon hearing of any disas-
ter to the Federal arms Upon hearing
that Gen, Stoneman was captured, many Of
them actually forgot that they wore petit.
coats, and acted the part Of rebcls in brcech-
Is. The conclusion Of the whole matter is
this There aro one hundred rebel mon and
women here who ought to be sent South,
under flag Of truce, and sent at once, and
without any ceremony. Don't send them
North, where they can live upon the fat of
the land, and talk treason to Northern cop
perheads, but send them South, where they
will have to pay all they are worth for a
few months board, and where their South
orn brethron' can curse them for THEN
cowardice, in refusing to enter the rebel
service

Killing Off Rebel Generals.

Up to the middle Of July the rebel pa
pors gave the names Of trenty-aipc of their
Generals who have been killed, wounded,
and taken prisoners during the present
memorable campaign. Upon the same au-
thority we add the names of ten more. In
his official dispatch Of the fight on the 23d
of July, Gen. Hood says Gen. Walker WAS
killed, Gems GiSt, Smith, and .Hercsr were
wounded And in his report Of the battle
Of the 2Sth July, he gives the names Of It..
GeLS2ecat, Maj. Gen. Lori0g and Brig. GEN..
Rector as wounded To these the rebel dis
patches, published in the Richmond papers
add the names Of Gems. Sprabi, Broom and
JVllthaL These are fearful losses. Their
own showing makes out HHty-niae general
officers, and they are not likely to cxaggoratc
against themselves Nay, they have lost
men whose names have not been given.
One by one these traitors and scomdrels
are getting their rights-their long lost
rights-thcu Southern rights, 10y going tar-
key South. whore their hybrid, homogc-
ncous, detcstabie principles, viii commend
thcm to the favorable notice Of that truly
hard master they have SO faithfully served
in getting up, and helping to carry ON this
most internal rebellion

Case Of Bureh Cook.

The case of this p0torlous bsSbWhdcker
came before the Uplted States Commission
ers Messrs Heiskell and Hall on Saturday
last. Messrs. Nelson and Netherland acting
as counsel for the prisoner, and Mr. Swan,
the United States District Attorney, on the
part of the prosecution The prisoner not
being ready for trial, in the absence Of ma
terial witnesses, the hearing Of the case was
set for Wednesday, oath inst Cook was
captured in company with u desperate gang
of bushWhakers, near Ducktown, some few
weeks ago and was supposed to be the chief
of the gang, having once been Il rebel Col
onol He was taken out of the jail, for Il
preliminary trial, upon warrant issued by
Commissioner Hall The warrant alleged
that he was a citizen Of McMinn county,
and Of the United States, and that he had
levied war against the Government. In his
declaration set forth, he admitted that he
had been in arms, but avowed that he was
citizen Of Tennessee not admitting that he
was q citizen of the United States. This
would seem to indicate that he will fall
back upon the miserable and rn-out plea
Of States Rights alleging that State
can't commit treason. This plea might avail
something if the United States Attorney
knew no law, and both Commissioners were
fools But rs the case stands, such Il plea
will not win
1t is said that Cook will put up the add
tional plea that, when captured, he was
coming in to take the amnesty oath. And
If the aJo1nrrrr Tho tvpti-
mony Of his associate bushwhackers he
would make the proof, as we take it they
would swear each other out Of difficulties
Would n man come in to take the oath Of
allegiance to the United States, and plead
that he isnota citizen of said United States?
All it occurs to Us that this is his mode Of
becoming q citizen
We were struck with this fact while this
case was under consideration. Here was u
man prominent at the bar, in the Legsla-
ture and in the rebel army captured in
the Infamous business OF bushwhacking and
highway robbeIy-alleging that he was not
ready for trial, calling for subpnnas for wit
nosscs, and heard through able counsel
Less than three years ago, while we were
in this same jail with $50 Union men, the
latter were tried by drum-head court mar
tiol, denied the privilege Of presenting wit
nesses, or being heard through their coun-
sci, after they had employed lawyers, and
unceremoneously exeeutodin this very town

form, approving all this villainy and muir
der Should such traitors, robbers, and
murderers be turned loose upon the coun-
try, it will dovolvo upon the East Tennes.
see Union soldiers, whose parents have suf,
fcrod at their hands, and who themselves
have been driven from their homes by
them, TO deal out to them cven-handed JUS
tice, OF the mercy they have shown to
others
We will watch this case closely, and as it
is one that interests the loyal mcn of East
Tennessee, we will report its progress in all
its stages.

More Cruelty, and Worse.

Intelligent men, who have escaped from
the upper counties of East Tennessee, with
in the past week, say that the rebels, in ad.
dition to robbing families of their grain, Of
their stock, plundering their houses, and
setting fire to them, are actually, in many
instances, stripping decent Union women,
old and young, Of every vestage Of clothing
they have on, and then turn round taunt
them, and blackguard them. Let these
imps Of hell die most ignominious deaths
when they fall into the hands of our sol
diers Let the rebel families in their neigh
borhoods, who have pointed out these wo-
men as the wives, sisters, and mothers of
men in the Lincoln army, regret the day in
which they were born. We will endorse
our soldiers in putting them to death by
any modes that cruelty can invent. We
must turn over a new leaf in East Tennes-
see, and we must do it at once, Let the
fathers of the men who lead these bands of
robbers be robbed of all they have and let
them know that it is because of the part
their sons are acting in this work of plum
der and robbery.
