Capt. T. Eking, staff officer from
Knoxville, arrived, en- route for Washing.
ton, to-day, as bearer OF important diss
patches. Capt Eking brings highly inn
portant aGvices from Knoxville, which
Ilace be left on Thursday week. Capt.
Eking states that undoubted Information
had been received by Gen. Granger that
Longstreet had been actually reinforced
by not less than 20. 900 men, and that be
had concentrated his entire force, prepara-
tory to movement on Knoxville. His
column, which extended distance Of not
less than twenty miles, and occupied ra-
dius from Knoxville distant about thirty
miles, is now narrowed down to about ten
miles, and is within twenty three miles of
knoxville. Heavy skirmishing preceded
the advance OF Lonestreet, aud Gen.
Graz GERS forces were compelled to fail
back before overwhelming forces Of the
enemy. Gen. Granger has suffered but
slight loss, while the damage done to the
rebel columns was heavy. Our army will
be compelled to fall back and occupy the
iutrtncbments surroandiug-Knozv vile; but

The subject of Democratic State con-
vention is being discussed by the Demo-
cratic press of the State. and the leading
journals including the Illinois State Regis
ter and Chicago Times have expressed
themselves 10 favor Of late period for
holding the convention.
L Now, we cannot agree With our respected
Democratic contemporaries in reference to
the time for holding our convention. We
are in favor Of the earliest possible period.
We believe that the sooner our standard
bearers are presented to the people. the
better it will be for sound principles.
. We regret that our national committee
hare decided upon SO late period for our
national convention. There is moi sufh-
eient time after the fourth of July for an
efficient canvass to be made.

can be. withou, visitation OF the usages Of

We would advise our readers to pernss
the letter from General Mcclellan to the
President, which we give on the first page
of to-days paper, and reflect upon the views
therein contained.
This letter of General Mcclellan was
written prior to the appearance of the
emancipation proclamation and the suspen-
sion Of the Aa5eas corpus. Just 90 the eve
Of one of the most terrific and decisive bat
ties of the war. The sound views it con-
tains commend 1t to the approval Of every
true patriot 20 the land. 80 ga. r.,
General Mcclellan is sound Democrat
as may be seen from the Later which We
give. His position 90 the issaes involved
Is the true and patriotic one. The Demsc-
rucy of the country will stand by him as
long as be upboids the policy he recon-
mends. Is.was the policy endorsed by
Douglas and upon which fifteen hundred
thousand brave men entered the ranks Of
our armies. And the Union can only be
saved, if it be possible to save il from total
destruction; by return to tho Wise policy
which has been discarded by tbs present
dynasty.
Fortunate would it have been for the
country, if President Lincoln and Con eress
had Needed the advice OF General MeClsn-
an. Who does not know that if that bad
been done, the rebellion would have been
put down, the majesty ofthe laws restored,
and peace and harmony once moro estab.
lished between the people of the States p
We firmly believe that if slavery had not
been abolished IN the District of Colombia,
the emancipation proclamation had not
been issued, the rights of non-comtatants
respected, and the war prosecuted FOR thu
purposes declared by the President and
Congress at the onset, the j, fl. Davis gov,
eminent would have been Overthrown il
less ;hau halfthe time the conflict b as al
ready existed.
The truth is. the policy adopted By The
Abolition politicians foF the Government
in its perill1us condition, has been calcula
ted toGnnihilate Union feeling in tie South
or slayeholjing States.
Previous to theappearance Of the emnn.
cipation proclamation, it is a we'll known
fact that the true men of the South were
taking the initiatory steps to bring the in
surrectiouary States back into the Union
The proeiamation,. however, left nothing
4 for these men to work upon, and they were
forced to join JEFF. Davis in resisting
the project to humiliate ard suhiugatt
them. That notle patriot. John j Crit
tenden stood at his post until it seemed, a
it were, that the last ray of hope for a re
union had fed, and died broken hearted
And thousands Of other noble men VIII
struggled against the current of dsuLial
IN the South, as long as the North adhered
to the constitution. have been driven b.
tAeiadical policy TO take up arms egains
us-and the war is fast assuming the mos
frightfnl and barbari6ns ctaractor-a wal
Of determination Or enssvement to the con
quered.
What vast sacrifice of human life. too
might have been avoided had the polio,
recommended been adopted +? And thl
blood of slaughtered thousands cries 70
vengeance upon the party that has inaug
urated the heinous Abolition policy.
