Bell Gar, Tenn, Oct 10Th, 1864.
Correspondence Of the Nashville Union
have often, while down South, de-
sired to see true account of affairs in
this Interesting field Of our military OPP
erations. On my arrival here have
learned some important facts. The
force Of the enemy and our own force
at this time are not subjects to be made
public-but description Of their stu
atoms viii not be out of place.
The range of hills separating upper
East Tennessee, are not of great magni-
tude-and can easily be thanked on the
right-heading the source of the Nola-
chucky river, and also on the left-up
the left bank of the Holston river
hence an army of sufficient size can
penetrate to the Virgins Saltworks
(Which is, as it were the life blood of
the southern eonfederacy,) and thus
cut off one Of the enemy main ~ t.cles
of subsistence. tbs should b done Jy
al means Since General Burbridge
failed in accomplishing this from causes
best known to himself in his late ex-
petition through Pound tiap-an expe-
dition sent out from this point would
accomplish the much desired object
The remnant of Morgan's forces are
demoralized and can easily be driven
beyond the New river, If an energetic
campaign is instituted, which il is to be
hoped will soon take place. 1t is said
the rebel force numbers from 5000 to
5000 men commanded respectively by
Basil Duke, Vaughan, and Echols-z
composed of conscripts from East Ten
nessee and Western Virginia, whose oc-
cupation has been since the war began
to rob Union people-and who do n OF
scruple TO take the last morsel Of provi-
sions and rag of clothing The suffering
inhabitants of the upper counties Of
East Tennessee have. This has been
carried on to such an extent that the
women and children (whose husbands
and fathers are in the Union army are
reduced to utter starvation and many
hundreds Of them are making their
way through the lines in an almost de-
nuded state-and trying to reach Knox
Vile to secure the necessaries of life.
Sllirmishing is going ON above this
point with the rebel cavalry, who mani
fest great desire to get out OF the
way when any considerable force is
sent against them. They won't stand
in close quarters General GilIem should
be reinforced forthwith and the inhabi-
tants of the upper district of East Ten,
nessee set at liberty so as there may be
crops planted--as it is nothing what
ever is being done.
Colonel Miller has lost from his staff
one of the most efficient officers that it
has ever been my pleasure 10 become &C
quainted with-Lieu:enant P. Scott
graduate Of West Point, and a tho
rough disciplinarian. He was much be
liked by the command But circum-
stances over which he had no control
caused his resignation He carries
with him the esteem of many true and
patriotic hearts.
There was skirmish occurred on
yesterday which resulted in the defeat
and retreat of the rebels to Jonesbo,
rough. You may expect good report
from this quarter soon Let General
Gillem have the men and we.will not be
inactive long. More anon

SOUTHERN MEMS.

The Times special says Sheridan
grand cavalry charge, made at o'clock.
10y Custar on the right, and Merritt on
the left, was magnificent in the highest
degree. The charge was executed at a
trot, and doubled up both TANKS of the
rebel army, pushing its broken frag-
ments across Cedar Creek, an achieve
ment an ordinary General would have
remained satisfied with, but not so with
sheridan An old Dragon himself,
and knowing the secrets of Sake, a
column of the two brigades of Mer-
ritt's and Wells of Custars division
was promptly thrown across the creek,
clearing the bridges at a gallop under
severe artillery and musketry fire They
charged the rebel infantry brigade
which had been left 70 cover the trains
and hold the strong position, and de-
ployed on the crest of the hill south Of
Cedar creek
This force was captured and scatter
ed leaving the whole rebel train prize
to Pike For four miles from Cedar
creek, the road was blockaded with ar
tillery, wagons, ambulances, &c Our
cavalry had nothing to do but 10 de-
ploy as fingers, and secure this captur-
ed property.
Richmond papers of Friday say that
Forrest has united with Hood, and the
balance of his command Is safe
The Examiner thinks the campaign
in Georgia must result in the destrne-

foace. Should the expectations Of the
whole COnfederacy be fulfilled the en-

captured
The Examiner urges that the rebel
Government must not admit Butler s
conduct AS an act of retaliation, but
must put an equal number of white
Yankees at ha-d labor on the most ex-
posed parts of the works Should the
Government admit Buffers outrage as
an act Of retaliation, it gives up all
ground Of argument and recognizes

/ iBArrINoRK, Oct. q LIN the Superior
Court Of this city to-day, an application
was made in behalf of the opponents

mus directed to Gov. Bradford, com
manding him to exclude from being

application ~ ua52 zs 8af

no sufficient grounds exists for the in
terposition Of the court in the matter
The counsel Immediately filed an APP
peal from the above order, and the re-
cord was made up and sent last even
ing to the Court of Appeals, before
which an appeal viii be had TO day or
to morrow. In addition to Mr.. Alex

and Wm- Lefty are engaged on the part
Of the petitioners, while Harry Stock
bridge and Arch. Stirling, Jr, win ap
peas for the government.
9 In every State where thecopperheads
had majority in the legislature, the
soldiers are denied the privilege of vot-
ing; in sH those where the Unionists
had majority, every copperhead mem

ternity in Maryland is doing all in its
power TO keep out the soldiers vote in
that State. Soldiers Remember these
things, next Tuesday week.

Come TO The Convention.

We hope the attendance of the loyal men of East
Tennessee a the Convention here on the 9TH Of De-
ccmber will be general The reason why we called
it, rs Committee, was that many Of the very best
men in the upper counties are here and in the sur
rounding counties driven from their homes, and can
attend conveniently and when here will be able to
represent their counties correctly and houorby-
Again we say, let there be a general turn out and
let Us send up to Nashville Il delegation that the
Union men Of East Tennessee will be proud Of and
bacl, up in their actions,
The delegates going to Nashville to the Con,cn-
ton Of the 18th of December, will have to form
ticket for Permanent Constitutional Convention
and we ought to have the best mon in the State in
that Convention. They should be men of sense, Of
nerve, of character, and of influence whose doings
will be respected. Let us lay aside old political
preiudiccs, forget old political enemies, andcomc up
to the work of saving the country and restoring or
der in the State We shall be successful if we are
prudent in the selection Of our agents to restore the
State Government. They must be men whose hands
not stained with the blood of this wicked rebel
lion; men who are not willing to surrender law and
who have never Jagged in the struggle to save the
Government, or for the sake Of money and property
have basey pandercd to the prciudicos of traitors
and their unhoy schemes
We want men in the Constitutional Convention
who are noted for prudence clear heads and honest
hcorts-men who are not afraid to be called Aboli-
tionstsnot afraid of social ostracism and the con-

The Public Debt.

The Copperhcads of this country, and tory papers
Of the North, lie hard and constantly to impress
the public mind with the belief that the public debt
is increasing at the rate Of S3,O0O,OOo per day in
contradiction of public and official statements
Those of them who offer any proof to bolster up
their false calculations and charges, give the guas
official data furnished by the annual Congressional
appropriations, aud quoting these, assume that the
entire amount is raised by borrowing. These men
fail to tell the public that 100000 per day is raised
by the Internal Revenue tax and that 100000 per
day is raised from the receipts of Customs and
other sources The average increase OF the public
debt really does not exceed more than 900 600 per
day Beside all this, the Administration spends less
than is appropriated by law. Ours is II great ma
tion, and our resources are great We can pay two
such public debts, and never feel it, But this is no
time to look after dollar. and cents. The rebellion
is to be put down, and must be- no matter what it
may cost in dollars, and even blood
