The excitement regarding Knoxville is to-

Longstrect were apparently intended only TO
recover the forage ground taken by Foster
and the latest information is to the eject
that the rebel chief is retiring. Our troops
are in winter quarters, and General Foster
anticipates no attack, and is able to rcpe
any that Longstieet can make.
There are reasons to doubt the truth Of
the report that Lee has reinforced LonCstreet.
No active operations reed be expected in
that quarter for several weeks.
General Vance and his brigade had cap
tured one of our forage trains, when Sturccs
went in pursuit and captured the entire rebel
force.
Efforts are being made to reconstruct the
State government, but with little hope of it's
early return to the Union. The radicals,
with Governor johnson at their head favor
the calling of convention TO nulilv the
Constitution and frame one on emancipation
principles. The people of East Tennessee
are reviving their old project of forming Il
separate State of that section. Rebel officers
and soldiers continue to come in daily, dc.

The Southern Situation,

NEW York, Jan. o.
The Times contains translation of let
ter from Frcnchman. formerly ot the rebel
army, to friend here, dated Richmond,
| January j.
He reports the arrival of another agent of
the French Emperor, named Nartigny, who
came via Nassau and who has had several
mysterious conferences with jeff Davis.
it is known, he says, that jeff has promi.
sed to recognize the Empire in Mexico, and
has also promised France all the advantages
OF the Southern Confctlcracy if Napoleon
will only recognize and support the southern
cause. All our principal men, he says,
think therefore. that war between France
and the United States is near at hand.
The writer has no doubt that the plan
proposed of making General Lee Dictator,
will be adopted as the only means of coun-
teracting the strength of the North. Gen.
Lee has expressed his unwilIingness to ac-
cept the Dictatorship. He and jeff Davis
are on bad terms, and the latter would, in
such case, have to retreat. Davis has been
lattcrly very unpopular, in consequence of
having kept Bragg so long in command.
He has even contemplated, since dismissing
that General, of giving him command of the
Army of Virginia, and of sending Lee to
Dalton but he had to abandon the plan on
account Of the great influence brought to
bear against it.
General Johnston, who took command of
Bragg's demoraliZed army, thought of re-
treating to Atlanta. but was kept at Dalton
that he might take advantage of the proba-
bic weakening OF the Northern army Iy fur
loughs and expiring terms OF service. Jeff's
plan is to keep his armies on the offensive,
though Lee has given the opinion that, with
the miserable condition OF the army in re-
gard to clothing and provisions, it will be
impossible TO do so.
Gen. Early's expedition was miserable
failure, more than thousand of his veterans
returning h0rs du combat, with frosted feet
and hands,

now see how much patriotism is found in

consideration. Here is a body of men who

Of government for the purpose Of giving,
perhaps, few worthless drones, few

lating, and We shall commence using full

recruits from the North and deserters from
the South.
Seven hundred recruits came down this
morning, and to-day one hundred and fifty
Rebels deserted to our linee. The portion
of the Rebel army held at Dalton is believed
to number not more than thirty thousand
men, mostly Kentucky and Tennessee troops,
held under guard, and it is positively known
that they are killing their best mules for
food.
General Grant came to the front this
morning. General Tudah left for Knoxville
to resume the command of his old division,
the Twenty-third Corps.

W" A correspondent, from this place,
Of that rebel sheet, the Selinsgrove Times,
In his account of the attack on the DE
mocrat" office, gives utterance to the follow
ing outrageous language. The declaration
of the writer, that he is w-abiding citi-
zen, is all bosh, when he counsels revenge,
and appeals to mob law, which he knows,
or ought to know, If he has brains to know
anything, involves the innocent with the
guilty. The following is the closing para
graph of this beautiful epistle:
ave are not yet in possession of all the
facts. This is republican teaching and
practice. and should their internal abolition
papers be routed they must blame themselves
The Democrats are largely in the majority
in this county, and it is their duty to de.
.nand that Democratic paper be printed
here, and if this is refused civil liberty is
gone, and they have as good right to riot
ard destroy property as the Abolitionists
aIs law abiding citizen, but if the law il
refused to redress our grievances then I say
1t ia the duty of every Democrat to tax,
revenge, though it leads to anarchy of tn,
worst form. So we go on under Abolition
rule"
These sentiments are in keeping will
those expressed by another individual who
after having, himself, pointed out the offic
OF the Democrat to the soldiers regretted
that he had not directed them to this Office
We trust and believe such sentiments ar
entertained by few, if any, intelligent anc
honorable citizens.

The War Department having authorized
Major General Winfield S. Hancock and

the most distinguished commanders in our
army, to recruit the Second and Ninth Army
Corps, now under their respective commands
to fifty thousand men each, for such duty as
may be specially assigned to said Corps 10y
the War Department, address myself to the
patriotic and loyal citizens of Pennsylvania,
earnestly invoking them to lend their active
aid to Generals Hancock and Burnside in
the prosecution of such measures rs they
may adopt, under the regulations of the War
Department, governing enlistments in this
State to fill up the Pennsylvania regiments
and batteries of these noble Corps.
They comprise the following Penrsylva-
MIA regiments and batteries, viz
In the Second Army Corps, commanded
by Major General Hancock, are the SD, 69th
7lst, I'D, Stst, 106th, 10th, 140tb, 145th,
and 14sth regiments, aud Independent bat.
teries c and L, and batteries + and G. of the
1st Pennsylvania artillery.
In the Ninth Army Corps, commanded by
Major General Burnside, are the 45th, 4sth,
jbth, 51st and Tooth regiments, and Durelrs
Independent Battery ID.
The reinforcement of our victorious az
mics in the field is the only means of bring
ing the rebellion to an early close, and of
forever sealing the fountain Of civil war
Let us then maintain the illustrious record
which those gallant armies have already
won, and effectively aiding the Government
in securing glorious future to our country,
by filling up their ranks now greatly re.
duced by disease and the casualties Of the
field.
